So you can be bedman in FFXIV now
fricking carbuncle's AOE attack getting me into more trouble than its worth
oh yeah that happens a lot
also I lagged out and died 😦
So wholesome.
@wide ember https://i.redd.it/1rbgdymzefd31.gif
That's horrifying
In the Little House books, Laura Ingalls and her family experience something like this, but more in the midwest. I forget exactly where, might have been Minnesota. It's interesting having read about it and then seeing this.
BOUT TO GIVE SEBASTIAN THE BOUQUET
Syd I just picked up that game and I feel you
my heart ..............
Kill it.
suicide is frowned upon in my culture
Oh. Ummm, feed it?
your suggested solutions to stomach troubles make me concerned
Yeah, even I dont like spicy food that much
Get some nice warm tea and lie down for a bit
Peppermint tea would probably be the better solution, yeah.
Ginger or mint is good
I just realized
I won't be here for the Hades update because I'm out in another town for drawing courses for a week
Rip
Kind of. <.<
Kind of?
Well I mean, it doesn't actually happen, but the potential it could happen is sort of blatant, even if you've not watched the show. So... kind of.
I was more referring to the NSFW part tbqh
hi i'm going to have to ask you to remove this, as it is nsfw.
Yeah
I suppose that depends where you work, but okay. <.< It was also behind a spoiler tag. But, whatever, it's gone.
thank you!
Well its less the "for work" part
And more that this server is supposed to be child-friendly
Age appropriate, I see that more, yeah.
Thats also why most swears are blocked
Which one could argue is misguided since the only people who swear more than children are sailors, but I digress
Makes sense. I'll try to remember.
hey channel
this is your reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw
I FIGURED IT OUT
they gave the carbuncle an AOE spell that agros creeps you don't want to fight to simulate your DPS being dumb as bricks
its training
bwahahaha
carby is my FRIEND
Oh man, ONI release so shmexy.
yellow carbuncle > blue carbuncle
eos > selene
What's the difference between a quest icon with a plus and just a quest icon?
quest icons with a plus will unlock things
if the gold border looks like a meteor/like the game icon, that's a main scenario quest that will advance the storyline
ONI is finally releasing?
I bought it day one, stopped playing around the Germ Update when it started getting too difficult for my taste
Wait, which ONI?
Oxygen Not Included, launched today.
It's gotten so so much better since hten Perplexed.
They majorly nerfed germs, and added ways to treat it and stuff.
Oh
It's not near the nightmare it was when germs first came out.
Getting anywhere near Slimelung used to = colony collapse. Now it's very manageable.
Man Judgement is great
I haven't played that one in ages. Did it hit full launch?
It was actually one of my first paid reviews.
Im interrogating a guy who I hope tells me who is responsible, meanwhile in the background the main characters father figure, and an enemy yakuza captain are having a moment about how good of a detective the MC is
Judgement, as in the Yakuza game? Been out for weeks now
Ah
I always forget the Yakuza offshoot Judgement.
But I should have figured that when you mentioned Yakuza xD
My co-worker reviewed Judgement though and absolutely adores it. He's a longtime Yakuza fan though
I mean its great
Its got good action, over the top style, and a good sense of humour
Oh it is, I've watched him play. I don't have a PS4 myself.
Have you played the Yakuza games?
Oh you might want to consider it then. They're all like that.
Some of the mini games are hilarious.
Got into it because it had the phoenix wright elements I was curious about
And since Wanderbots played a bit of it
hello!
hii!
how's it going? :0
not bad!!!! trying to get some writing done so i can draft out my podcast for this year
OK
so no one told me the arcanists guild had a friggin' pokemon gym in their basement
no, just a buncha weird vaporeons
Vapeoreons usually hang out around precious juuls
FennekoLaugh.mkv
Fenneko is amazing.
What Ocel said. ||My wife and I were waiting for Anai to pull some of his stuff on her, so we could watch her destroy him.||
Aggretsuko S2 spoilers ||I'm sad she didn't out of loyalty to Retsuko||
^ ||Yeah, but neither she nor Haida believed it until Haida saw it for himself.||
Spoilers?
None of that is super spoilery, but I get the feels, sorry.
Nw, I'm not that fussy about them
Regardless, Fenneko IS amazing.
Some people are and this isn't a spoiler ok channel as far as i can tell
One of my friends told me she reminds him of me
I don't know whether it's good or not
Or accurate
Give 👏🏾 Tailed 👏🏾 Races 👏🏾 Dusters
Saw megamind for the first time today
Will I be crucified for saying it was alright
I'm not sure if it's a cult classic or not
I kind'a want to see it. I have no real reason to hate it. Does anyone? <.<
This makes me proud to be from Portland <.< https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/zip/d/portland-rustic-pieces-of-crap-for-your/6946114872.html
Well that's just not possible. The best movie is Into the Spiderverse
I kinda want to see that
Into the Spiderverse?
I was skeptical until I watched it. If you think Endgaame grabs you by the feely bits, ItS will just straight shred them.
Ah my feels
It's okay I don't get attached to people in spandex
So I was safe from engame
I've heard good things about its assthetically
endgame ... demanded too much that i care about MCU characters i'd long since lost interest in
I liked Thanos as a villain but then I realized that most people thought he was supposed to be, like, taken seriously? at least his ideology was? rather than a parody of That Kind of enviro-bro?
at least all the critiques i saw were like "and thanos's plan is BAD! it doesn't make any SENSE!" and i was like ... i thought ... that was the point?
like yes thanos is stupid as hell
but 1) he's convinced beyond all reason that he's morally and logistically correct, and
2) he's got the power to actually enact his stupid-as-hell plan
anyway the comics version where he pulls the snap in order to romance Death and it doesn't even work is massively funnier
ALSO ANYWAY INTO THE SPIDERVERSE IS THE BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE ANYONE'S EVER MADE
i'm so glad my boy miles morales has a movie and it gave him everything, artistically and narratively, that he deserved :')
man i loved what they did with aaron and i even MORE loved what they did with jefferson ... like they really fleshed out those characters and their relationship with miles
i hope the sequel gives us more of Rio though
that was the one thing the movie could have improved on i think. more women with arcs/character development.
into the spiderverse was a fun movie
👀
the article mentions possibly getting Silk and Japanese Spider-Man and god i would love to see god i would love to see pavitr prabhakhar in spiderverse
More 👏 Spidered 👏 Persons
I WANT MORE GANKE ... so bitter that Homecoming prevented them from giving Miles & Ganke their proper friendship in ITSV >:(
mcu spidey had to take so much from miles to try desperately to make him interesting
they could have given us peter parker as an adult but no we had to do the damn origin story again
yet another thing Spiderverse got right
Tom Holland's been my favorite incarnation of any superhero ever (admittedly haven't seen Spiderverse yet), but they definitely glossed the origin story. This is the first time I've actually seen Peter in high school as a teenager.
Andrew Garfield is visibly 30.
^
I know a couple people that liked Garfield, but I'm not convinced they don't have major drug problems.
Homecoming ganked huge chunks of Miles's backstory (it even gave us Aaron, but no Miles? come on!), and, yeah, it was the reason the Spiderverse crew had to cut ... essentially Ganke's entire character
because they were worried people would see Miles and Ganke's childhood friendship as a ripoff of MCU Peter and Ned Leeds ... when, in fact, Ned Leeds is a blatant ripoff of Ganke Lee
Okay, that's fair.
also I really don't like Peter being Stark's protégé.
- Peter, oops.
... on second thought, Peter being in Homecoming spared us "Miles Morales is Tony Stark's protégé", so.
still wish we'd had Miles in the MCU.
guys, out of topic
shrek and han solo has the same outfit
that is all i wish to say, take care
I.... don't see it.
I mean, on a base level... Yeah.
Long sleeved off-white shirt, dark colored vest, and dark colored pants
XD
Shrek's pants are tartan.
And his vest only covers his upper torso. And his tunic laces up at the neckline. I dunno. I don't see it.
what is it for?
assignment
ohhh! sociology class or somethin?
mhm hmm
I have two finals today and then I'm off to Indianapolis for GenCon!
hey, @prime sluice! we appreciate the research you're trying to do for class. however, we don't think this is the appropriate venue to share such a survey and have chosen to delete it.
fair enough. Thanks for not being rude about it
no problem! thanks for understanding ✨
👍🏼
I'm late to the spiderverse discussion
but re: "aaron but no miles in mcu"
Aaron does mention that he has a nephew that lives in the area when he gets interrogated by Peter, and in a deleted scene he calls Miles and tells him he's going to be late
so miles morales in the mcu eventually isn't off the table, but it probably won't happen for a while
So good
i bet if the mcu brings in miles, marvel will end up telling the story a lot differently in order to differentiate the two films
i'm so glad sony animation still has the right to do animated spiderman films, though. not sure if you could beat spiderverse tbh
the art style was AMAZING
i want more 3d films like that
I mean they’d have to, otherwise everyone would be going “this is okay but you know what was great? Spiderverse”
Sony released the tech I believe!
NICE
I mean they changed Peters backstory somewhat
Wouldnt be surprised if they changed Miles
FFH spoilers: ||Hell they could use Miles as an explanation for why Peter isnt Spiderman, then use Miles's alibi for the london attack to clear spidermans name||
TBH I kinda don't want miles in the MCU
because into the spiderverse was so freekin' good
Idk, I would be interested to see their take on Miles
Ugh
Now I have a flareon to make my Vaporeon jealous
I don't even like flareons
give me an umbreon plox
leafeon also acceptable
Huh, guns in Judgement are suprisingly realistic
A bunch of street thugs aggrod on me, I tried to run past em, got shot and died
leafeon and espeon best eeveelutions
not umbreon or glaceon???? Being this wrong????? smh
Why did the frog park illegally
because the park is for children and you're not allowed to smoke weed there
Because he thought it would make for a ribbiting story?
To get toad
.... I dont get it

Also peanuts or other proteins to munch on will help
Im starting to think that Japans justice and political system might be messed up
This is like the 5th game Ive played where the story centers around that
All my knowledge of Japan's Justice System comes from Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and Togusa did nothing wrong
Making games about your country's flaws is praxis!!!
I would, do more in-depth research before making that call,
Especially if you aren’t from there,
Its just an observation I made
Yes
Also, yeah, it is a common thing, but a flaw that seems this present in media?
Its curious, at the very least
Gotta say, if I were to make a game like that, Im not sure what flaw germany has thats worth making a game about
Says something about the culture in Japan at least
The unfortunate rise of the far right? Not uniquely german, and arguably not as bad here as it is in, say, Poland
Political complacency? Certainly a flaw, but how do you make a game about it
I mean, talking about your own experiences and observations is always gonna be more poignant. The far right is back in germany? There's gotta be some analogies you can make there
You'd know better than I do
Well, dystopian fiction is pretty common and the authors of such works often exaggerate a component of their society to take it to it's logical conclusion but that doesn't mean that's how said society works. Often it's just the worst possible outcome.
Mmh
I mean, I guess technically the one game I really want to make does include a critique of nationalism
But its more general than just about germany
I'm interested in hearing more about this
Yes. But it's also just easier to use a setting that the creator is familiar with. 🤷
Mmh
I guess part of it is that in terms of societal/political problems, a lot of the EU is very similiar
On a different note, can anyone Vaguely inform me of when I get a sheep/llama/wool bearing animal in Stardew Valley
Like I don’t wanna go on the wiki and get spoiled, but, I really wanna build a mill soon
you can buy them from marnie once you have a barn
^
I have a barn and a cow already now, the other animals silhouettes were still blacked out tho
I guess I’ll raise my cow’s friendship?
Affection/whatever it is in this game
Do you have a deluxe barn or?
No just regular
needs to be deluxe
^
sorry, i should have been clearer
All good all good
It’s weird, my last farm sim I was all about character interaction
But this one?
wait, which farm sim?
I'm a sucker for village sims >.>
I’ve never played a true village sim before but if that’s what you’re about then you would probably really like this one
Sooooo many character events
I mean, I definitely like the farm part of it
or, in the case of graveyard keeper, the funeral home part of it
the What now?
tinybuild made a stardew valley-like game about death and stuff
Ohh
imagine stardew valley but instead of maintaining a farm it's a graveyard
sorry i got my wires crossed for a second
Lol it’s good
im@gonna get married to sebastian soon uwu
Proxy needs to be a bit more forgiving on its linkspam protection >:|
What do you like about sebastian
😔
What's the marryable traits
by the time I marry anyone my coffee stockpile is already huge
That makes sense
also he’s sad and like
same
i wanna give him hugs
and imo his heart events are the best
He and Abigail have the most fun ones
standing in the rain together on the beach? hell yeah
||the game segments are really good||
i liked sebastian bc i felt like he had the best story overall
although i chose to marry the doctor guy bc he's cuter
Leah and Shane
wait nvm i got shane and sebastian mixed up
it's been a hot minute since ive played this
Shane's story is pretty hearth wrenching too.
Hmm
my sister got shane and seb mixed up too
there are a few new farming sims that have shown up since I last checked
shane is so mean to me :(
@copper lark is your character a guy or a girl?
girl
Shane is mean but I want to see him grow to not being mean
i’m trying to talk to him more
Syd you’ve done Abigail’s route haven’t you? How was it?
Oh rip
i’ve only romanced penny and sebby
Penny! That’s it
penny is nice
Penny is Good
I like her
marnie?
Yes
I have the weirdest crush on Robin
SAME
I would break up that marriage if it would let me
Noooooooo
Oh yeah that happens to me a lot
I mean, that's kinda part of the reason why I dated Leah to begin with
"Eh, close enough"
leah seems really cool
however i’m so emotionally attached to sebastian now i don’t think i could romance anyone else
Awwww
I think Robin was considered as a romance option earlier in development, but that was removed later
Probably because breaking up a family is not exactly great
She is actually quite a bit like Leah now that you mention it
That pupper sheet reminds me of my cat.
Do you guys run any of the mods for SDV? My wife has a couple that increase the diversity in the town, as well as just overall improving the portrait quality. It's extremely well done.
I don't run mods but I've considered the utility ones, like the improved maps and such
Yeah some of the map ones are awesome too. She runs the one that combines all the farms xD
mods ruined my game on pc
my sister downloaded smapi and then forgot how to then it off
Have I ever mentioned that I hate the trope of "shocking reveal that the MC can see but the player cannot, followed by a cut with you not knowing the reveal til later"?
i prefer that to the other way around
if i know and the mc doesn’t i get mad bc they’re dumb
Oh I dont like that one either
xD Nice. I'm not sure how many Katie runs, but yeah, that looks familiar.
I got my copy on switch so I doubt I’ll be running any mods haha
Stardew valley big head mode
I have just witnessed a scene where "Ill see you in court" is a badass oneliner
I love this game
Well, thats Judgement done. Good game, recommend it
||Did you do the part where you're fighting a guy, and a car rolls up with two people in it and pulls the guy in?|| Judgement spoiler
||No, I mustve missed that||
I saw it on FB and it was hilarious ||the people in the car were from the Yakuza games||
Oh there were plenty moments like that
At least I thought it was. ||The web says there are no cameos from the Yakuza people.|| so I'm not sure.
||My favourite sequence was running away from a van full of armed Yakuza on a skateboard||
Hahaha, nice.
Thats not even doing it justice tbh
The thing I saw was a random pop onto my feed on FB from a while back, so not sure if I'd be able to find it again.
One issue I had was the tailing gameplay
Its more annoying than fun
||Also the game ends effectively with a cat||
(Spoiler)
Eh, thats not really a spoiler
But sure
Its just a cute sequence
Huh, my final game time was 22:22
Why do I feel like if Darkspore was released today, and on Steam, it'd do infinitely better than it originally did?
Hm
I wonder, actually
I played Darkspore, and I did reasonably enjoy it, but
It was kinda clunky?
Like, its an isometric 2d action/grind game that has a lot of spores weirdness that didnt exactly mesh well with the formula
It was. And the playerbase was kind of small. It wasn't very well published, for an EA game (I think it was EA? Wasn't it on Origin only?)
I had a physical copy so, no
I loved the spores weirdness aspect, myself. Being able to customize my little dude. And it had a ton of characters.
Okay, but it wasn't on Steam.
It was, actually
I dont know if it was since the start
But the wiki page mentions it getting de- and relisted in 2013
Ah okay. Could have been during that time that I played it. I didn't play it long because it felt like a dead game.
Apparently the servers were bad.
Still, I thought the game had potential. I just ask because Killsquad reminded me vaguely of it for some reason.
But I cant say it was that great seeing how I never finished it
It needed polish above all else
Some of the unlock mechanics and some of the core gameplay needed small changes
Now one game Im actually quite sad got shutdown was MXM
mom, I'm on camera! https://www.twitch.tv/rubberninja
a new digimon adventure movie is coming out next year
not any digimon movie, but digimon adventure movie, featuring Tai(chi) and Agumon
it has been 20 years...
Gad, make me feel old.
Yup, its another Adventure movie
At least this one seems to thankfully be the last
I like Adventure and all, but damn theyve been milking it for so much now
Give us a continuation of Tamers or something entirely new
fire emblem warriors is fire emblem awakening..... 2!!!!!!
n....no?
awakening: tactical rpg with a dating sim nailed to the side of it
warriors: hack and slash action rpg with elements of tactical rpg
i’m talking more about the story right at the beginning
lucinas reveal .. wow wasn’t expecting that one that’s crazy
ah
but also if they don’t know lucina and owain how are they so close with robin this isn’t making sense to me
Yknow how there are things you dont know you needed until youve seen them?
Turns out "roman republic except its dinosaurs" is one of those things for me
You do know that the Roman Empire gave us foccacia and by extension, Pizza, right?
I kinda wish Togas stuck around
Yup, they did
I had a hard time thinking of much else that's good though
Really, besides the whole being an empire in the times around 0 BC, rome wasnt bad
It kinda just was, really
Basically rome is something you can find fascinating
It shouldnt be something to imitate or be inspired by
Can't believe they invented the salad
I’m just still mad Rome stole all the Greek gods and went ‘ I made these, mine’
I mean hey did other bad things but y’all get it
Fax
I mean, they didnt do that, actually
could have sworn that was them
Rome was founded, presumably, by greek people in what became eventually rome
Its no surprise they kept their gods
Oh I think they did make concrete, wasnt referring to that
Though the romans had their own gods as well
Many of them, too
Theyre just less famous
They made concrete, but I'm pretty sure everyone forgot about it in the Middle Ages so not sure if we got it from them
Oh yeah we don’t have their exact road stuff anymore it was lost
I mean that happened a lot in the dark ages
Also the romans were like weebs for greek culture so they probably would've adopted a lot of their religious practices after assimilating them, whether they originally came from greece or not
Less weebs and more just partially descendant from them
The cultures were somewhat close as a result of their common origin
The phrase weebs for Greek culture may be right but it gave me the common cold
They held greek culture, especially their philosophy, in amusingly high esteem
That much is true
I don't think it's just common ancestry that's responsible for that, but the level of familiarity probably made it much more appealing
Kind of like how manga developed from western comics back then now that i think about it
(。•̀ᴗ-)✧
Greek anime when?
I think that's their plays
Greek plays had a lot of grounding in philosophy iirc so you could consider it the tv version of their texts
Ouch
I thought they took concrete from phoenicians or something
Grecophilia maybe, if you want anime it’s more those assyrians
Greek were more weird plays and I don’t know what’s the modern counter part
There were similiar kinda substances before the romans did it
But what the romans had is the closest to concrete as we know it
The History of Concrete
Ok it was middle eastern but not Phoenician either
The modern recipe was closest to Portland concrete
Roman concrete was not similar to modern concrete either due to not being plastic during use (see linked article)
Not plastic as in not flowing
My hometown had a whole bunch of concrete from the 1600s
...expired or?
I think that my first time seeing someone use the term tabby for wall
Oh
When you say tabby I was thinking of the pattern on cat or cuttlefish
Nope ^^ Mighta been later than the 1600s tho, now that I look it up
Oyster shell lime huh
I can imagine that become submerged and a confused parrotfish chewing it for minutes before realizing there is no edible underneath
The texture looks really cool
Also, fun fact, all media has grounding in philosophy
not wrong but I'm not sure if it's strictly correct either
storytelling, fiction, news are all invented as mirror to our psychology and perceptions, so yes they would all be kind of philosophical by default whether you want it or not
but then I look at some messed up stuff and I just whisper to myself at night I hope not this one
I had a book in my writing class "Everything's an Argument"
Which would support the philosophy thing.
there is a chinese proverb: there is no smoke without fire
and this applies to all media, a human mind at some point started the generation
even AI generated media is rooted in human psyche
and philosophy is questioning the existence and the questioning is endless
well, you know the chinese room model
the machine does not need to know chinese to translate chinese
Yeah
but the questioning still started in us
Yup
and when we read it, we become a philosopher
Unless of course we find a way to train AI on non-human data
hm
Theoretically, that would be possible if we found some mathematical function for, say, music
Or functions
we do have those
there is at least one university class on the link between math and music
To a degree, yes
and how our perception and love of music follows mathematical rules
Nothing to the point where you can generate music from those functions I dont think?
we definitely can
Well, then we do have media that doesnt stem from philosophy
but the copyright issue would be bad because it will hit multiple pre-existing and copyrighted melodies
but math is philosophy
ancient mathematicians were very often philosophers, like Pythagoras
math is the ancient common language that allows us to understand the thoughts of gods and realities and ourselves
Thats more of a tendency of educated people being educated in more than one field
Math itself isnt really philosophy
Its an attempt to dissect the universes building blocks
it is if you have faith
because you just described what philosophy is trying to do
dissect the universeès building blocks
You could call it a fundamental language, or you could call it a tool
Mmh
Im not sure I would agree with that?
True
I guess if I had to put the difference in words, math is the what, philosophy is the how/why
but math is also how/why
if you use math to find what human mind likes
why I like this photo? because math
why I like this tune but not the other? math
math applied to psychology?
nope, perception is more psychology
but yes, psychology is based on neurology as well
though in university, neurology classes are the more biology classes and psychology are more perception and data
here at least
at some point I took a class named psychoendocrinoneurology I think
it was neurotransmitters
I was thinking more that math would probably interface with the neurological functions side moreso than the more abstract psychology
you would be surprised
I remember subscribing to the math and music (and how they are related) class, if I find it I'll give you the name
it's probably buried in my old school books somewhere next to stats and notes on PTSD
the medication used in PTSD proved that memory is registered on at least two layers, emotional memory (focus, interpretation, etc.) and factual (the actual events seen and heard and smelled)
because you can use meds to inhibit only the emotive and boost the other
that's neurology and pharmacy's domain
math is a lot more on interpretation and perceptions, so I'd say we could class it as abstract psychology
unless we use math for the measurements, how many quantity of neurotransmitters are released when hearing this kind of wave function, then I agree with you
but the wave functions in music, when do we hear them, how they mix to make music, that's more of a perception thing, math is a really wide use tool
Mmh
Ai generated media trained on natural phenomenon still has its roots in philosophy because it was created for a purpose
one of the art projects I've always wanted to make is a mechanical computer that calculates digits of pi and then plays them on chimes
it hasn't worked out so well though because it turns out that there isn't a function to calculate individual digits of pi that well
also mechanical computers that do things more complex than multiplication are hard
Eh, knowing computer scientists, I doubt it was made for a purpose
Im 99% sure the reason it was made was "Hey, I can do it. Lets do it"
Im not sure its philosophy as much as a combination of boredom and an inability to sit still
IMO, if it doesn't fit in the first few levels of maslowe's heirarchy of needs its philosophy.
right?
At this point if internet access in a nation collapsed for just a day, wed see major chaos
So, despite this being mostly joking
The internet has probably found its way into the second tier
True, but our infrastructure is so dependant on it that its highly linked to the second one, Id argue
Dependent
.. which is correct?
I see
Oh hey, you basically cant play SWTOR properly without subscribing, which costs just as much as FFXIV
Welp, time to uninstall it then
Whats the point of it being f2p if you highly restrict PvP and PvE anyway
Grumble grumble why do subscriptions keep ruining MMOs
And yes wifi is firmly part of social stability so it is in the second tier
MMO executives want money
The funny thing is that subscriptions usually are only a small part of the income anyway
With most coming from cosmetics in the cash shop
Ok that too but I dont play MMOs like that out of principle
krobus is a sewer gremlin,, me too
Yes
Right, then I would argue while there is some enjoyment people might get out of it
It tends to prey on gambling addiction
Which for me is just not something games should do
I mean, very yes, I agree
Though somehow the thrill of throwing money at it feels good
that makes sense
(It’s called uncertain intermittent reward system in psychology I think?)
because. i am also addicted to gacha games
Then you are most healthy than Syd and I
Ive played like 4 different card games and I avoid opening boosters if possible, and just skip through them if I cant
In that regard, perhaps
I can definitely see the appeal
me, spending real money on love live and azur lane:
I just dont experience it, and I think games are better off without it
Wow, Syd plays the weeb ship game, Im surprised
cute anime girls. im a simple enby
Addiction is linked to substance abuse and self sabotage
Like, my main issue with Gacha games is just that they're inherently exploitative
I have trouble with both alcohol and gacha
Addiction to cute anime girls is probably harmless by itself though
:,3c
i also spent money on mystic messenger
Weebs can be problems but
that was cute anime boys
That has more to do with weebs than anime girls/boys
As in too willing to throw money at bait yes
i dont think this has anything to do with this topic but its still funny to me
I'm addicted to fizzy drinks
my brother bought every season of dora the explorer when he was younger by accident
I mean this is off-topic
Really we just keep failing to stay on topic of this channel
Which is off-topic
Which in itself means that we are off-topic
Which means we are on-topic
Irony
you can't prove that
I just did
There's no reason why a natural language ai would suffer from paradoxes!
im def not ai bc i dunno what any of these words mean!
Artificial Intelligence?
... right
I mean, irony isn’t a paradox in truth either, depending
Irony is when the defeat comes from itself
im stupid more than one long word in a sentence hurts my brain
Paradox is when there is no cause or effect because both are both
Syd you gotta have more confidence
Eventually you will
I came here to have a good time and im feeling so attacked right now
Strictly speaking irony is just using a word to express something other than its literal meaning
If youre a masochist, is it "I came here to feel attacked and Im honestly having such a good time right now"?
Are contrarians masochist by definition or by irony
Yes
Man why is it so hard to find a free MMO with decent PvP >.>
That isnt GW2, that is
MFW I glamor my Au Ra to have boots, baggy pants, and a basic vest because I just want her to be comfortable
yes
Yeah that part I do like
GW2 basically has that
But from what Ive seen, I dont think I would enjoy the combat
From what i can tell it is a bit odd for an mmo
I did find that it varies a bit based on how you build even within one class, but that might not be useful if the core systems aren't interesting to you
Plus the free version is a bit too limited for my taste
Not being able to dye your armour sucks
The dye function in the game is pretty good
I would be disappointed if i couldn't do it
Afaik only available to subscribers
Mmh
Granted I dont change my outfit much in MMOs
I think my Thief is now on his fifth iteration in 6 years
But its something I do want to have access to
When i played eso anyone could dye their equipment, but it has been a few years
Dyeing weapons was sub only
Yeah, its all sub-only now according to their website
I'm pretty sure I could dye my armor before I bought the game
for FFXIV
iffin' that's what you're talking about
Oh, ESO
need to read scrollback
Nah, its ESO
Im trying to find an MMO to play PvP in since im kinda burned out on GW2s sPvP
WvW is still fun, but sPvP has the main issue that killing the other players is kind of a secondary objective
Since it only has one gamemode
Which is point control
Though apparently ESO only has a WvW equivalent so thats ruled out anyway
[banging my fists on the table] ffxiv arr sucks but please pull through it
Is Starcraft series still around for online pvp
That would be mmo but not really rpg though
You mean starcraft the RTS?
Yeah its around, not what Im looking for though
For non-MMO PvP Ive got league and whatever FPS I feel like playing
Its not quite the same though
I guess Im just stuck with GW2 til something interesting comes out
PSO2 unfortunately doesnt have PvP either
There was fly for fun or something in the past too
Oh thats an ancient game
I was in highschool or college
Anyone tried dofus?
Oh god no
I played Wakfu, but not Dofus
I found Wakfu to be quite charming
Only quit since I got lost after level 30 or so
I can’t stand that quantity of puns in a single game
Weak
My pun immunity is low
I guess you dont handle punishment well
Why are you like this?
Because puns are my lifeblood
Theyre great
Theyre as funny as high brow jokes, with none of the effort
I'd say puns have an upper limit that high brow jokes exceed.
Eye do not agree
Thats punfortunate
I'm super late but oh my god I remember Flyff
those weird pumpkin boys scared me when I was like seven
Oh well, I give up, guess there really is no worthwhile PvP that isnt exactly GW2
I've never really understood the appeal of mmo pvp
GW2 I guess it makes more sense since there isn't really "questing"
Honestly the main one is that there are no real melee PVP games otherwise
for honor?
although that's more of a fancy fighting game
LoTRO has pvp in a sense, although it isn't populated
one side is the Free Peoples (your regular characters) and the other is Monsters (special pvp-only characters, most of which you need to buy with lotro points or be VIP) and you fight over forts and stuff
Yeah, thats also a different approach
Honestly the thing with GW2s is that its good for the most part, but their choice of PvP gamemode and the fact that its the only one has made class design, lets say, weird
There used to be a good game for this, Gigantic, but
Well
It shutdown
ESO has very similar PvP to GW2 but lol who plays ESO for alliance wars
Plus that gamemode exists in GW2 as well
And i havent burnt out on it quite yet
I guess there was that one game they showed at E3, what was it
Bleeding edge?
That one could be nice
Does eso even compare to pvz tho
I have no idea what that is
pvz? plants vs zombies, i assume
Also the restriction on SWTOR PVP is especially stupid because it has a loophole
If you queue up with someone who is subbed, you can still play it even though youre technically limited
Plants vs zombies, ofc
bleeding edge looks exactly like overwatch
I watched yahtzee's forced E3 interviews and you could tell how nervous the guy presenting it was
To be fair, the poor guy was being interviewed by Yahtzee
that's true
And hey, if its Overwatch but more melee and TDM, Im ok with that
Less melee, please.
Well, more Super Smash Bros Melee, less dedicated melee buttons in FPS.
High risk high reward melee primaries are okay.
No more punching after one hitmarker for a confirmed kill.
Especially in those games that lock-on with a lunge.
overwatch's melee I think is good cause it is always a last resort finisher
"modern" melee in shooters needs to die forever
They actually had melee fixed in Black Ops 4 before launch.
No lock-on, pitiful hitbox, and it did roughly chip damage.
Then they reverted it to MW2 Commando that did 145 damage, compared to the base health of 150 of a given player.
Spray and pray in close quarters, then press melee for your guaranteed kill.
which doesn't even make sense, a knife to the leg doesn't hurt nearly as bad as several bullets to the chest
We're releasing a new game and it’s… wait for it… a visual novel!
Eliza is a story about an AI therapist, the people who develop it, and the people who use it.
Coming August 12.

Oooooo
what an interesting turn for Zachtronics! I will be keeping a close eye on this one
Sounds cool as hell
this is the first time in a while that they go out of their comfort zone so im really excited to see how they handle it
Oh nice! That’s always fun to see what people do w challenges
all of their previous games except for one of them is heavily based on factorization or programming, so a visual novel is about the last thing most people would expect from them
btw zachtronics has a free book on steam and you should read it
it's got a lot of interesting insights into game design and even has some prototypes
oh wow ill definitely check that out
!!!!!!!
This visual novel is surprisingly nice looking
whaaaaaaaaat??? zachtronics visual novel???
that was unexpected
this looks really good actually
i know right
INVADER ZIM: ENTER THE FLORPUS Comic Con Trailer (2019) Netflix SUBSCRIBE for more ANIMATED videos here: https://goo.gl/mKaNUq Zim discovers his almighty lea...
Man it's so wild that zim is back
I wonder if they'll animate the audio they had already recorded and story boarded etc
my favorite thing is that minimoose is there
despite the fact that his presence is never explained outside of the directors commentary on the original dvds
not that I ever watched them or anything
I'm not even sure how such a statement entered my brain
how strange
One of the workers at the local bakery recognized me
its a shame that I now have to never go back there again
they were a good bakery
ohhhhh that was me with the shake shack in penn station a while back haha
used to go there every morning for breakfast when i worked in midtown
the new Zim movie looks like it's taking a lot from the comics
which I'm okay with, the invader zim comics are great
Thinking bout akko again
There's some great twists in little witch academia
It's cool that there's one obvious one because it helps with the deception
just in case, the Zacktronics books mentioned by Dr. Perplexed is called ZACK-LIKE, it's free and it's 865.5MB
What should I name my starfinder character?
They're a Ysoki technomancer
so a rat
Skiach Cindertail
Tul Dustcutter
Qhenq Skybuster
Warhammer Skaven name generator. 1000's of names are available, you're bound to find one you like.
I was thinking of naming them Sunflower 😛
Sunflower Skybuster
Also I'm torn between making them like, legit NB and not wanting to correct people for literally an entire starfinder campaign
I was gonna say that i didn't think it would take an entire campaign for them to get it but then i remembered that a significant portion of the trpg players i know are lgbtqia*
I'm too lazy/cowardly to be NB, take my gender back plz
also I've had 2 beers
and am a bit tipsy
is there a name for a duster but with a hood?
cloak doesn't imply sleeved
Quick google search just calls them "Hooded Dusters" but...
I'd go for calling them that
Imma make sunflower be like
the goblin
who collects rocks and buttons n stuff
but the reason they collect that stuff is that they're out of place where they found them
and they're actually being all sciency about it
I wonder what the exact difference between a duster and a trenchcoat is.
"I found this rock on [dumbplanetname 4] and it belongs from a planet on the other side of the galaxy!"
Dusters tend to have a slit up the back
because they were originally worn by folks who rode horses
(this also makes them useful for folks who are rats and have tails)
That does make sense, with the slit up the back.

ilu sol but I'm going to disregard your advice
Just don't walk/drive drunk
Get an uber or something
Unless you're at home, in which case don't od
What board game(s)?
just spoke to haley in stardew and. nothing appeared in the text box
Hmmm, not familiar. Fiancee and I recently bought This War of Mine board game + Swords & Sorcery.
but I want to play it because I impulse bought it
The other day, I don't remember if it was here or elsewhere, I saw someone advertising they were running a 5e campaign on Discord and charging like 15 bucks a seat per session. Makes me wonder if I could get away with that for CP2020
Unless you buy a new game
i think it only counts games youve played
if it was all games my completion rate would be very low
Well, I guess you gotta not start any games without finishing them then
i dont care about it so much that i wont start a new game unless i have 100%ed another one but ill definitely try my best
i find it really fun
Yeah I'm a cheevo farmer too.
But yours is far more impressive
Some day I'm going to perfect Final Fantasy 3 JP just because.
can someone help me with ruby warrior level 4 code? I think I messed up something
I know there are functional solutions on the net, but I want to clean up mine
has no clue.
What's your code doing wrong
To be clear I've never played ruby warrior so I might not be able to help
But I do code good
I'll send code over PM, it's long
project melee
I presume its written in Ruby?
yes
it's done, TheCakeFlavour pointed out that my check health function is only true once, and turns out I should have done the health value change at end of the player turn rather than do it within the check if safe def
(link in case anyone wants to try: https://www.bloc.io/ruby-warrior/)

Hi I saw warrior and thought warrior cats and now I’m deeply ashamed of myself
Just thought I would let people in this public forum know my Ultimate Suffering lmao
I’ve been violently wrenched back into my fourth grade self with that comment
Is ||Hollyleaf still alive||
Hm
I stopped reading before the Last Series or whatever I think
Hi Did U Actually Tag Ur Warriors Spoilers Im
This shouldn’t be funny but it is somehow
Why don't they make warriors js but for good languages
python? C#?
Yes
there is a python port of it but I haven't found the c# one yet
I wonder if they made with it warrior cats allusions it would bring back good memories or make people code through tears
use_cobweb_as_bandage()
Do these code learning thingies teach you important things like string manipulation?
" ,".join(myList)
probably? I'm stuck at level 6 in ruby warrior now and I'm taking a break
String matching algorithms are pretty useful to know too
Knuth-morris-pratt, boyer-moore, levenshtein distance, etc
Rust async await will on be on stable soon, sick
I gotta learn async classically one of these days
Instead of just peppering it in whenever i get an error
Wdym classically? Like callback async or thread watching etc?
RE the Warriors question: ||If I’m remembering right, Hollyleaf died in the fourth series (Omen of the Stars)||
Warrior cats? Now thats a name I havent heard in a long time
ovven episode 4 of fire force came out
i’m loving fanservice character 2
princess,,, whatever her name is
is she
Also Maki is great
she is
owls where better (not biased at all)
By learning it classically I mean having it taught to me
another pair of my pants got torn...
i guess you're too cool
unrelated but the proof system feels a bit complicated in modern society, it's like the degrees in F
I like the percentage system, but I've also studied chemistry so I'm biased
I understand both have their own specialty so both are functional, though the fact that the proof system is sometimes 100 = 50% and sometimes 100 = 57% is a bit confusing
and I'm not sure when is which, is it a British vs American proof scale difference again?
I don't think anyone even uses proof where i live...
i thought proof was always abv percentage times two
