honestly runny yolk with anything is just so good

hasty kernel
#

Anyway the Deep Dish is kind of a pizza, but its borderline

faint panther
#

I need to figure out a trick to cooking eggs on pizza.

hasty kernel
#

Definitely looks cheesier than I would like

faint panther
#

I saw Alton Brown very briefly poach them for shakshuka.

somber ferry
#

put the egg on in the last like 5-10 minutes

#

SHAKSHUKA

#

YES

cedar rock
#

yea altons shakshuka video makes me wanna try it so baaad

faint panther
#

I'd recommend a small personal deep dish, one inch deep instead of two.

#

"personal"

somber ferry
#

that i could do

faint panther
#

You could still split between two people with salads or appetizers.

tardy anchor
#

shakshuka good

faint panther
#

Or nothing at all! Because deep dish is kinda-sorta-not-really an abomination of carbs and fat.

#

I need to make shakshuka.

cedar rock
#

pizza is made to be its own meal anyway

#

i have this friend from maine whos argument that pizza is supposed to go with fries angers me so much

faint panther
#

...Pizza and fries don't belong together.

cedar rock
#

thats some school lunch kinda thing

#

and I AINT havin it

somber ferry
#

ok when kam and i got pizza recently they introduced me to the idea of pizza with fries

#

and you know what? i'm down with it

faint panther
#

I have a piece of paper that says your friend can't argue with me, and they are not supposed to go together, Kam.

#

You can guys should eat what you like.

somber ferry
#

wrong

faint panther
#

Ignore anyone who tells you otherwise, it's your food and body.

somber ferry
#

fries can be served with whatever they wanna be served with

cedar rock
#

what is your stance on the avant garde school of dipping fries in milkshakes

somber ferry
#

great

#

you ever dip fries into a wendy's frosty?

#

it's goooood

cedar rock
#

yep big agree

faint panther
#

I used to, but now I'm not as big on it.

wide ember
#

(we have poutine pizza here so...)

cedar rock
#

i have a friend who lives in brazil and some of the pizzas ive seen

faint panther
#

They get out there, man.

cedar rock
#

i cannot describe with words

faint panther
#

Okay, so I'm working on an idea for the Sea Monster from Junction Jan's. It's gonna be fried calamari with a sweet-and-spicy sauce that goes on the pizza cold, but beyond mozzarella as a "safe" cheese I'm kinda stuck on toppings.

#

Does anyone have any ideas where to go from there?

wide ember
#

yogurt

cedar rock
#

i was raised basically without seafood so im far too new to it to be of use for that sadly

faint panther
#

Oh, garnishing with scallions, either fresh or fried.

wide ember
#

I'm not kidding, unsweetened yogurt mixed with garlic, dill and some other herbs taste good with baked dough and seafood/fish

tropic garden
#

my gut says scallops

faint panther
#

sol I'm seeing some sort of counter drizzle?

wide ember
#

crayfish are good too

faint panther
#

Sweet-and-spicy zigging one way, yogurt residentzag -ing the other?

wide ember
#

sounds good

tropic garden
#

Are you using normal pizza sauce for your base, or olive oil?

faint panther
#

Probably olive oil, if I don't go with some sort of Asian-inspired oil.

#

Maybe part of the SnS base, to reinforce the flavors.

wide ember
#

if you go asian with the oil, please just use sesame oil instead of the (subjective) abomination that my dad insisted on using

faint panther
#

Yeah, probably just sesame oil.

wide ember
#

(my dad likes Zanthoxylum oil and I guess it could be used as proof that taste isn't always hereditary)

#

since it's seafood, why not mix some rum with the sauce?

faint panther
#

That sounds like it might be a little heavy for what I'm going for, but I'll play around with it.

serene tulip
#

me, looking at a cute animal: "God I wish that were me"

faint panther
#

Right?

tropic garden
#

oh to be a cat, asleep on a sunny windowsill

wide ember
#

but if you were a cute animal, humans would want to pet you

#

I'm guessing the trick is to be a cute animal in an isolated island with no predators and plenty of shelters and medicinal stuff, and good food

blissful charm
#

but if you're a cute animal you probably want to be pet

faint panther
#

Yeah, it feeds back both ways.

wide ember
#

huh, so it was a win-win to start with

serene tulip
#

To be a well taken care of golden retriever

wide ember
#

if you can have a daemon/luonto what animal shape will it take and will you pet it even though it's technically part of yourself?

#

#

Name a better feeling than putting on fresh pajamas from the laundry.

tardy anchor
#

getting into fresh covers in bed in your fresh pajamas

tropic garden
#

wrapping yourself in a fresh warm towel after a shower, putting on your fresh pajamas and getting under fresh covers on your bed

tardy anchor
#

wrapping yourself in a fresh warm towel after a shower, putting on your fresh pajamas and getting under fresh covers on your bed, and drinking a hot chocolate

serene tulip
#

@wide ember idealistically, crow or magpie

#

and yeah

wide ember
#

I just came out of the shower and put on fresh cotton pajama shirt and silk pants, life looks so good right now

#

magpie sounds great, I'm not sure what would be mine but I know they would be round

blissful charm

this is just making me more cold

copper lark
#

t_t Pwease ... lemme see my boy

rain yew

V hot

copper lark
#

hard disagree

sharp grail
#

trace I think you have a type 👀

hasty kernel
#

Ok, this is a first, a game creates and arguably points out its own plothole

sharp grail
#

V.... I see the appeal, he is kind of cute

analog spear
#

Hades does that right?

copper lark
#

hes cute in an ugly way

hasty kernel
#

I mean, kinda but not really?

#

Basically, in this context a particular imperialist nation creates giant mechas, that are supposed to give it military superiority, starting a line of conquest

#

Then in this game a single person with an RPG takes down a couple dozen

#

And one of the combatants straight up tells people not to board them because "they are easy targets"

analog spear
#

Like when in hades ||you escape and the narrator makes up a random way you die ||

hasty kernel
#

Yeah but thats tongue in cheek

#

In this case the dissonance is played completely seriously

analog spear
#

Lol that’s amazing

#

These will make us unbeatable

#

But don’t use them, they are prone to being destroyed

hasty kernel
#

It gets worse, they canonically did make them unbeatable

#

At this point they have conquered 3 seperate smaller nations

#

Crushing their defenses with those mechas

#

But a single RPG takes em out

sharp grail
#

Video game logic! :D

velvet fjord
#

what game is this?

hasty kernel
#

Trails of Cold Steel 3

#

Its a good game, but occasionally it forgets consistency

#

I could get it if the weapon used to take them out was some special rare, high-powered sniper rifle hardly anyone has access to (such a thing did actually appear in one of the previous games)

#

But no, its just a rocket launcher

wide ember
#

not even a super effective against mecha rocket launcher?

hasty kernel
#

Nah, its mentioned by a name that heavily implies its a fairly common mass produced weapon

wide ember
#

I'll put that next to the Last of Us's "choke out this zombie whose head is now entirely mushroom with your bare arms" mechanism then

sharp grail
#

Send help, it’s getting cold outside and I don’t want to get outside of the blanket to close my window or get more blankets, but I’m freezing :<

hasty kernel
#

Specifically the german name for RPGs used in WWII, "Panzerfaust"

#

Because Japan really loves german names for some reason

wide ember
#

alma get a voice command smart house thing that allows you to change the heater setting by voice

#

(for now you are gonna have to wrap the blanket around you as you get up)

sharp grail
#

a... what??

#

I’m not putting any smart devices like that in my house that’s scary

cinder blaze
#

Agreed.

wide ember
#

I mean, all it does is change your heater settings, what is going to happen

cinder blaze
#

They're pretty easy to hack, actually.

#

And you can use them as a gateway to attack devices on the same network.

rain yew
#

@sharp grail oh is my type really that obvious -sarcasm-

cinder blaze
#

So that's not great.

rain yew
#

Eveyone who's known me for 5 minutes figures it out. I'm so predictable

sharp grail
#

also the only heaters I own are like um, are they called space heaters?

#

you only need to flip a switch to turn them on as long as they’re plugged into a socket, but since it hasn’t been cold for long they haven’t been out of storage yet

#

lol @rain yew I just know u love orpheus and they’re both goth... I Connected The Dots

rain yew
#

You're absolutely right

#

Like it's so consistent and predictable it's not even funny almost

hasty kernel
#

Why is literally everyone in this game plotting against each other

#

More importantly, why do they just tell us that rather than giving clues

sharp grail
#

Do they trust you, the player character?

wide ember
#

maybe the entire cast are tsundere, they want you to stop them with either a hug of friendship or a german rocket launcher

hasty kernel
#

Well its a JRPG, so its more of a player cast

#

And since the game starts in medias res, I know that several plotters end up on your team anyway

#

But its still weird that they would just give away what could be a nice hinted plot point

sharp grail
#

oh I see

#

I think I misunderstood originally?

hasty kernel
#

Then against last time they did that I was miles off

#

Though I still think that what I thought the plot twist was wouldve been better than what we got

wide ember
#

(welp I just tore my silk pants, rip pants)

#

btw, tomorrow will be halloween

#

I'm so not ready in any way

#

dear square enix please release buff ladies already it's almost 2020

hasty kernel
#

Wait which game are you referring to

wide ember
#

any

#

I should directly go whine at local square enix right

#

specifically I'm trying to make a new character and I want buff hrothgar lady or buff viera lady

#

in ff14

hasty kernel
#

How buff are we talking

wide ember
#

the male hrothgar models that we have? that buff but still feminine

upbeat scroll
#

or... buffer

hasty kernel
#

Yeah thats a good buff

wide ember
#

so far the only PG rated game where I found playable buff lady was Pyre with Jodariel

hasty kernel
#

I think Indivisible actually has one

#

But she is an optional side character

wide ember
#

I can accept her as buff but some of her animations are not acceptable to me

hasty kernel
#

Tbh I havent seen her animations

#

Oh, do you mean her up throw?

wide ember
#

of Phoebe? yes

hasty kernel
#

Mmh

#

Yeah Im not sure I like it either

wide ember
#

I'm also not ok with how the lance stabs look like she's pulling harder than stabbing

hasty kernel
#

I guess the last one Ive played like that is league which has Illaoi

#

Unfortunately Illaoi is the exception

vocal brook
#

Illaoi and Sejuani, yeah. Riot needs to make more playable buff ladies

hasty kernel
#

Or hell any that arent just another Miss fortune/Sona bodytype

#

Im also not sure Sejuani counts

wide ember
#

Sejuani's muscle lines are inconsistent between arts

#

in some she has a six pack, but in some others she doesn't

hasty kernel
#

Even at best she is more toned than buff

#

Which for someone using a flail as a weapon just feels wrong

#

On a related sidenote, it bothers me that the new champion is using a railgun as big as she is herself, but still has the same bodytype as all the other female characters

vocal brook
#

That's fair re: Sejuani

#

And yeah I am rather upset about Senna's design

hasty kernel
#

I mean I would mind it less if she used regular guns

#

But a bloody railgun?

#

Iunno

#

I still like league, but the lack of variety in appearance has bothered me for quite some time

vocal brook
#

Same

wide ember
#

we need more Illaoi

hasty kernel
#

I still want my old battle-scarred noxian grandma champ

wide ember
#

I'm still disappoint there is no cross over fancomic where Red of Transistor and True Damage Senna meet

hasty kernel
#

I mean its been 1 day

wide ember
#

exactly, it's been already a full day

hasty kernel
#

Damn I didnt think of it like that

#

i'm trying to get a tutoring position so i'm brushing up on my math and boy howdy has it been a long time since i've done math

#

i remember equations but not. what the equations mean

serene tulip
#

(-b +- SQRT(b^2-4ac))/2a

blissful charm
#

i was actually thinking of that equation earlier today

#

have it memorized but what is b? i dont know

serene tulip
#

y= ax^2+bx+c

#

so y=0 at (-b +- SQRT(b^2-4ac))/2a

wide ember
#

(get a graphing calculator)

#

(b tells which direction in x axis it expands, apparently?)

Ugh

#

No wonder I love Pavarti

#

she's voiced by Ashley Burch

rain yew
#

Yeaaah

she's so good

#

one of the main reasons i ended up loving this character so much was because of Ashley's voice acting, she's amazing

serene tulip
#

A friend of mine went to a house party at her place and I'm still mad they ended up not being friends with them >:|

rain yew
#

oh man

#

shame

wide ember
#

Happy Halloween!

hasty kernel
#

The one downside to video games vs shows, its a lot harder to find someone to discuss the plot with while youre playing through it

wide ember
#

Tumblr used to be popular for that

hasty kernel
#

Kinda, but even then its usually discussing the whole plot, rather than just what happens in, say, chapter 1

#

The other issue is that I know this game has a bad cliffhanger, so Im not even sure if what I want to know is gonna be explained in this one

wide ember
#

You can grab a friend for that

#

Tempt them into playing it too

hasty kernel
#

Unfortunately all my friends work a lot and dont have as much free time as I do

#

Plus only one of them plays JRPGs alltogether

wide ember

When will we get another Godiva to free us from poverty

I cant say what it is exactly without spoilers, but yeah, its spoiled in the opening cutscene

Lemme look it up

#

perhaps borrowed from hip-hop and drug-abuse slang (where it is attested by 1995 in the sense of "to rob, to rip off"); perhaps by 1990 in sports jargon. Of unknown origin; perhaps ultimately based on gang (v.).

#

See, I brought up a totalitarian but still humanistic AI and a friend of mine shot it down.

wide ember
#

AIs are still weird now

#

Japan made a robot that loves and he got obsessed with the girl instead and refused to let her leave

faint panther
#

Yeah, whenever I think of AIs I think of Mass Effect more than anything else.

wide ember
#

if all AIs are like Poe from the TV series version of Altered Carbon that'd be great

faint panther
#

But we're a long way away from any AI of that sophistication.

#

I have a friend that recommended Altered Carbon to me. I think this means I need to see it now.

wide ember
#

I love Poe so much

#

he deserved much better

faint panther
#

No spoilers, please.

wide ember
#

kk

#

but how will you or we prevent AI from developing the zeroth law?

#

(btw, I'm writing a post-zerothlaw novel right now)

faint panther
#

You mean enacting a Zeroth Law Rebellion?

#

Hang on, lemme re-up on my terminology.

upbeat scroll
#

im not sure AI is the solution, because AI is made by people, so mostly it's the same problem again

wide ember
#

I wouldn't called the result of Zeroth Law a rebellion by default

faint panther
#

I'm going by TVTropes here.

wide ember
#

humans can easily be manipulated into giving up their agency

faint panther
#

Yeah.

wide ember
#

so zeroth law can easily be implemented without a rebellion

#

let's uplift birds into dragons and have them make the AIs then

upbeat scroll
#

i dont trust birds

wide ember
#

I play as drakken in endless legend and I always blackmail other factions into peace, easiest pacifisit run

#

I mean, you are not wrong to distrust birds, some birds are so messed up

#

like they might murder their own children for begging for food or encourage them into a battle royale/hunger game until one survives (after killing and eating their siblings) and only feeds that one (see: cainism in birds)

#

but then you also get birds who are very moral and loyal and altruistic

serene tulip
#

oh my god

#

someone else plays endless legend?

wide ember
#

it's a much better game than civilization when it comes to 4x

#

until civ6 and their expansions, civilization equated civilization with exploitation, wars (expansion and extermination) and exploration for sake of the previous 3x

#

but endless legend starts with a higher focus of exploration for sake of a sense of wonder

#

even in civ6, barbarians spawn where you cannot see, but in endless legend, their equivalent spawn until you pacific their villages by either completing a quest, giving them money or destroy them and then rebuilt them

#

so the option of peace is more favoured, and the exploration, with the great number of ruins and ruins in water tiles and the upgrade that allows you to re-explore ruins... it was like reliving the best parts of Warlords I and II

serene tulip
#

Plus just the lore

#

Like there's so much story there that any history Sim 4x lacks.

#

You already know ghandi's lore, but like, the vaulters?

wide ember
#

and the lores weren't just with the factions, but also the minor factions

#

and the planet itself

#

those mantis people not strong enough to be a major faction are still very much people, and there are lore and quests related

serene tulip
#

and there's even a meta-lore where you can learn about the other Endless games and how Dust and stuff works

wide ember
#

while civilization villages just vanish and you don't get lore

#

like Dungeon of Endless stuff?

#

I haven't beat that one yet

serene tulip
#

and Endless Space

wide ember
#

I also have Endless Space but the music wasn't as good as Endless Legend

serene tulip
#

I don't remember the soundtrack

wide ember
#

I have Endless Space 2 as well

serene tulip
#

I have endless space 1 and 2 but haven't really played it ever

#

=\

wide ember
#

I finished Endless Legend a few times and bought all the DLCs except Symbiosis and Inferno

serene tulip
#

I have inferno but not symbiosis.

#

But if we were to play I'd probably pick up symbiosis

#

Because I have poor impulse control.

wide ember
#

symbiosis mykara doesn't allow settling in new regions, you have to zombify enemy cities for that

#

which sounds a bit too much for me

#

Im a bit late as usual, but saying that league has done more societal harm than good is rubbish

#

Thats like saying football has, simply because hooligans exist

wide ember
#

football players tend to get concussions more than, say, tennis players

hasty kernel
#

... ok fair point, not my best example

#

In that case, uh

#

Is there even a mostly injury-free sport?

wide ember
#

parallel to how lol players may suffer more rudeness meta than ffxiv players I guess-

#

well, ping pong is relatively safe

hasty kernel
#

Eh, Im not sure thats true actually

#

League is not nearly as toxic as its made out to be, and raiding in FFXIV isnt as friendly as its made out to be

wide ember
#

there is no injury free sport just like there is no rudeness free mmo

hasty kernel
#

Or hell, GW2, known for its friendly community ,which you wouldnt know if you were raiding or playing PvP

#

Turns out there are jerks everywhere

wide ember
#

It’s a matter of frequency

#

like how you get much more concussion from football than ping pong

#

(Maybe curling is almost injury free?)

hasty kernel
#

Eh, slippery ice

#

Im sure people have slipped up and hit their head or something in curling before

wide ember
#

What footwear for curling? If it’s the sponge shoes it’s impossible to slip

#

blade skates, more risk

hasty kernel
#

I think its teflon soles

#

You want to slide on the ice, so they are slippery

wide ember
#

turns out the most common injury from curling is knees wearing out due to bending them so much

#

“76 curlers (39%) participated; 79% of these reported curling related musculoskeletal pain, most commonly involving the knee (54%), back (33%), and shoulder (20%)”

#

“Conclusions: Curling appears to be a relatively safe winter sport.”

hasty kernel
#

To be fair, being a relatively safe winter sport is not exactly high praise out of context

#

Thats like being a relatively fast snail

wide ember
#

“Eighty-seven percent of the players had CTE. Breaking this down, this included 99 percent (110 of 111) of NFL players, 21 percent of high school players, and 91 percent of college players”

#

...I think the difference is kind of glaring

hasty kernel
#

Oh wait you were talking about american football

#

I was talking about just football

#

I shouldve figured, football players have more leg injuries than concussions

wide ember
#

“Nearly eighteen percent of all soccer injuries are concussions — a number that has put soccer into the “high risk” category, along with football, hockey, boxing, and rugby.”

#

still higher than curling but lower than American football by a landslide

analog spear
#

Because they wear like no protection other then shin pads

hasty kernel
#

Yeah, that makes more sense

#

Regardless I was more making a joke-y reference ot the fact that almost all winter sports are bloody dangerous

analog spear
#

Except curling

#

Praise curling

wide ember
#

so in the mmo parallel, do we need more gamers’ protective pads or... I’m not sure what curling has to make it safe

analog spear
#

Curling has no physical interaction between teams whatsoever

wide ember
#

But it is still somehow highly competitive

hasty kernel
#

No physical interaction and less focus on speed

wide ember
#

So like between journey and splatoon?

#

curling still does have some focus on speed though, you need to brush that ice real fast

hasty kernel
#

More Wii sports really, ironically

#

Yeah but its not the speed you yourself are moving at

#

Or the speed of something that could well be moving towards you

#

Anyway, the analogy breaks down somewhat because toxicity exists in sports as well

#

Maybe not curling, but thats mostly because curling is a very niche sport

wide ember
#

praise curling

#

my point was there is a sliding rule of how much harm in each game and difference in types of harm

hasty kernel
#

I suppose, though league is nowhere the extreme end

#

And it has brought a lot of people together, on account of the whole played by 100 million people thing

wide ember
#

no it’s just that you are much likely to meet a real life person who brags about their questionable behaviours on league

#

due to sheer number of players

#

hence the bad reputation

Thats true, yeah

Some job hiring centers / temp agencies do faux interviews to help people prepare or refine themselves.

Sometimes high schools and universities hold them as well.

#

I'm tempted to try their Twitter

#

But I feel like that would be rude

honest glade
#

Late response, but a lot of the "point" of Cultist Simulator is... figuring out how to play it.

#

You use trial & error / experimentation to learn what your resources are, how to best use them, etc. There's even several elements in the game that give you some degree of guidance about what to do or how to use what you're given.

#

You can look up a guide, but if you were to follow one, the average player could easily complete the whole thing in just a handful of hours.

#

So, basically... If you can read and employ comprehension skills, you should be able to play that game.

north hamlet

I was thinking that water makes long distance travel easier, so there's more cultural exchange

But attributing spiritual significance to the body of water itself makes a lot of sense too

wide ember
#

there is just something special about water? the desire to be swallowed by water, the emotional charge of water, how one may wish to be swallowed by the water and be reborn

water is used for both love and horror

the return to the womb, the ephemeral bond between droplets in parallel to killers and preys in love, the eternity beneath the waves

Water does have a lot of otherworldly associations

I saw on amazon a black steel kitchen knife that has a design very much in the style of gaming pc/laptop or chairs

upbeat scroll
#

Or maybe all gaming chairs were inspired by this one knife

wide ember
#

that theory just doesn't cut does it

tardy anchor
#

gamer knife

#

you can play skyrim on it somehow

#

also can i see kdndmg

wide ember
#

most of Dalstrong's designs are hella edgy, but this one really cuts the cake

#

Omega series look rather sci-fi, while Phantom looks jRPG

#

knife that looks like zags sword....imagine....

#

even better, a full set of silverware

Zag's Kitchen (2019)

#

I kind of like those actually

#

They feel Deus ex-y

faint panther
#

I wonder how much money you would have to pony up to get them to make a scale working recreation of the Advent Children Fusion Sword.

serene tulip
#

depends

#

How much does it have to function like it?

#

and how useful does it have to be?

faint panther
#

Ideally, at least one working chef and serrated knife in there.

#

If we can get a proper paring knife in there as well, cool.

serene tulip
#

Well, short answer, lots.

faint panther
#

Yeah, I thought so.

faint panther
#

That is cool.

it’s so cold lately I wish I have friends willing to do a quailcircle with me (any species fine)

serene tulip
#

quailcircle?

wide ember
#

Some birds (mostly quails and partridges) do this thing where they sit in a circle facing out so they keep their backside warm

serene tulip
#

I kinda just thought you mispelled quiltcircle

serene tulip
#

What should I bring to a pot-luck thingy?

upbeat scroll
#

a good tip sometimes is drinks

#

because usually people dont think to bring drinks

serene tulip
#

drinks isn't the worst idea

wide ember
#

cakes are nice too

#

sometimes everybody thinks of bringing drinks so people end up having to order pizza, so maybe bring one plate of something solid and one drink

hasty kernel
#

Quailcircle sounds like a more socially awkward group hug

wide ember
#

wouldn't they be facing the inside of the circle if they are to hug

#

this looks more like a group hiding some contraband

hasty kernel
#

Well, technically a hug can involve only one person facing the other

#

This is just that, except everyone isnt facing anyone

wide ember
#

introvert group hug

hasty kernel
#

Thats one way of describing it

wide ember
#

I have a strange urge to put a glass of hot tea or something in the middle of those birbs

hasty kernel
#

Here is something I wonder, do birds enjoy beanbags

wide ember
#

they usually enjoy pulling the beans out

hasty kernel
#

I meant more, do they enjoy sitting on squishy stuff

wide ember
#

only if it's alive or once alive

#

(they do enjoy cushions sometimes, but it's funnier to imagine them only willing to sit on human servants)

wide ember
#

babies!

#

we are so fortunate to live in an era where dishwashers are cheap and efficient

upbeat scroll
#

cheap?

#

sears sold 260 dollar dishwashers in 1980

#

the lowest priced dishwasher i can find on sears.com today is 296 dollars!

#

thats a 36 dollar increase!!!

faint panther
#

Inflation means the 1980 dishwasher was way more expensive.

#

The equivalent today is $851.

upbeat scroll
#

why cant i get my 260 dollar dishwasher from sears anymore

#

and give me a real answer not a made up economics answer

bronze elm
#

Um

#

Your joking right?

north hamlet
#

It's because modern food is too hardcore for the old timey models

wide ember
#

$189 for a dishwasher is usable, but there is no wifi or smart touch screen so you cannot talk to it and it cannot play doom or smash bros while heating up, and may one day sue you for not giving it enough dishwasher rights

'Lo

More people here than I expected, heh.

Right, normal people sleep these hours, I suppose.

I mean this not as an insult, but I find it odd that independent developers will eschew mainstream publishers only to sign platform exclusivity deals.

Either way, can't wait to play Hades when it makes its way out of Epic jail.

north hamlet
#

As far as i know epic gives lots of funding to indies who go for the deal

#

It's probably worth if it means the game can actually be finished

small loom
#

Yep

#

Suppose the upside is we get the finished game right out the gate.

copper lark
#

aaaa

#

i’m so tired of school

wide ember
#

I had so many nightmares of still at school even after I got those nightmares of still at work

#

though it's november, so in one month and a week it will be winter vacations!

copper lark
#

but i have big exams this month :(

rain yew
#

What do you study?

faint panther
#

Does anyone know if Steam recognizes PS3 controllers?

#

I've been using 3rd party software for I don't know how many years now.

#

Game is still on PC, Sechesin.

hasty kernel
#

It used to a while back, but Im not sure if its still true

north hamlet
#

Pretty sure it has a setting for them but i have no idea how well it works

copper lark
#

@rain yew i’m in UK secondary school so i have like ,,9 subject i do atm lol

rain yew
#

Aah gotcha

small loom
#

@faint panther Hm?

faint panther
#

small loom
#

On Epic, yes.
