there's one of those?
OH MAYBE!
This is the official discord
I guess it exists!
What mod should I contact to reinstate the Batman channel?
Batman try checking a fan server!
YAY
YAAAAAAAAY
It was on a different supergiant server
Batman wins again
LMAO
Im glad you found back your safe place ;D
shouldn't you be saying, "curse you Batman, you win again"
Thank you
Nah I have a lot of respect for batman
Lets be joyful on that one
Anyway he solved my riddle
Just what happened for you to leave this server??
Cuz your attachment to this channel there
Seems very big
My dog got cancer and I deleted all social platforms due to a depression spiral
oh no, I'm so sorry
I’m better now though!
Big hugs for ya
I’m glad that you could help old Batman find his home
Sorry for making fun of you, I thought you were trolling... my troll reflexes are all off
It’s okay
Sure!
I was theorizing that too but im really glad i still thought you were honest about your safe place channel
Just wanted to put jellies out of the blue lol
Those are some nice looking jellies
Jealous of Jellies
Jelly of jellies?
Jelly donuts
So I'm probably dumb for not thinking of this sooner but how great a fit would Zag be in Smash Bros?
My my
wdym
he's already got such a good moveset to work with
between swapping weapons and different boons
mainly because
- too many boons and abilities to put into 4 specials and basic attacks, also not even sure what his final smash could be
- in what way could nintendo probably consider him for smash?
like bruh I understand
but he just has so much stuff in terms of gameplay
Final Smash would probably be a chthonic summon
I mean sure the switching thing
and we could just keep it at zag aspects for simplicity's sake
but the boons?
hmm...
I'm thinking maybe give him some sort of growing mechanic each life
so maybe after accomplishing certain feats you'd get a random boon or something
that'd reset on death
its literally easy, just give zag the sword and 4 modes to cycle with different boons
or you could do that
like his b would probably be cast
side b could be special
up b would probably have to a new thing
down b could swap weapons
and yeah then I'm thinking adding some mechanic where he would grow as a fight goes on
like maybe boons would appear as items to grab or you get them from doing damage or something
there's a number of ways you could play with that
nah, just make clout limit break stuff but with god calls instead
I mean you could go that route, but I think bringing in the feeling of powering up as you go feels more in line with the game's rougelike elements
which could be interesting to bring into smash
final fantasy is turn based rpg
yeah...
Ya know the reason why I kinda dislike talking about fanmade smash characters is one thing
the meta?
like I understand fanmade smash and competitive smash are two different communities
but being a semi-meta slave, I feel weird not following a meta
meaning?
Like I'm not trying to argue against the meta or how the character would be balanced, that's for Nintendo to worry about, I'm just talking character concept
you could have the Up B be something Hermes related, easy
you could but I think the idea of a Zag that grows in a match is more interesting than a Zagreus with boons from the start
that requires dragging the round for too long
I like the thought that if you last long enough you could get a really powerful fighter with big comeback potential
a Zag that grows during the course of the match can get messy
I mean it could, but they're also a number of ways to balance something like that
liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike?
no one likes time gated abilities
well for one how would he grow, you could give a number of ways
time, taking or dealing damage, etc...
yeah it can either go one of two ways
1: he's overpowered because of balancing
2: nobody plays him because he's terrible at the beginning
i mean plenty of people play Joker
hm?
yeah but wouldn't he have to do the Down B to activate Arsen?
no
making him more powerful
well then what do you think would be the reason to have the comeback
no I mean
like
Joker has Arsen
what's Zag's thing
what's the in-universe reason to have the comback
I'd probably have boons that you'd gain as a fight progressed
if you wanna apply any in universe logic maybe even add little callouts the various gods would say as you get their boons
Gg!
that doesn't really scale with damage
Tho its interesting one
if we're doing scale with damage then uh
that's no dice
thanks!
I mean it'd have to be boons for me
that's the key mechanic of hades and its main rouge-like element
if you're going to pay tribute to the nature of the game that's how you do it
well how do you make the Boons scale with damage?
a Zag that didn't grow just wouldn't feel like Zag imo
I mean honestly I'd probably treat the boons pretty close to how they are in Hades
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
maybe you could have Boons spawn in randomly, dotted through the map
something like that yeah
you're allowed a max of 5 Olympians
Attack, Special, Cast, Dash, and Call
Call would be the Final Smash
is Hermes entering that condition?
i think they'd have to be predetermined olympians
Hermes would be the Up B, you could have him spawn in to give a brief buff to the Up B and general attack speed, while decreasing damage
hey friends you need to move hades talk back to #h1-discussion please, this is the off topic channel
I thought this was general discussion
is talking about smash bros Hades not in line with that
it's not.
just move it to #h1-discussion my guy
ok but Hades-discussion isn't
I'm already there
All spoilers welcome! For general discussion of Hades. Hop over to story-discussion or builds-and-combat to dive into specifics!
we're talking about smash bros
but it's related to Hades, no?
It's hades related, 🅱️ls just trust me it doesn't go here
whatever, maybe update your channel descriptions then
The descriptions are fine, I'm not certain why you're being so defensive about it lol ✌️
me neither, I was already there 🤷♂️
either way moderators can't change that :v
because simply put this is not a discussion on the game Hades, it is a discussion on the game Smash Bros involving the character Zagreus
The Hades channel is clearly stated to be for the game Hades and its content
just let it go...
You can talk about hades crossover content in hades channel, provided the discussion is still primarily about hades. you don't really need to fight the semantics about channel descriptions, we would just like you to keep discussion where it would be most relevant
this particular channel is used for discussion that doesn't fit in other channels, that's really about it
alright, thank you for the clarification
anywho I'm going back to bed, cheers 
alright, night tatz!
Nighty!
yes
nice
nice
i just realized, we dont have an art channel apart from #fan-works
is that to prevent confusion?
because we have channels for all other forms of entertainment
oh wait, i guess #self-promotion works as an art channel? seeing the description of it now
Oh wow okay #off-topic-discussion is near the bottom. That's a first
Also hi just joined from the in game link
welcome!
Hello! #off-topic-discussion is at the bottom because this is the off-topic section, with gameplay-related stuff in the #520429761420591124 or #456889434672201730 channels ^.^ Welcome to the server!
holy i'm lagging-
id twitch down for anyone?
Doesn't seem to be?
hmm
good luck getting out of hell
also this is the off topic section, you will have more traffic over at #h1-discussion if you want to stick around
ok thx
On a separate note, i just cooked 5 birds today and it is delicious

you know, i just had a thought.. it has raised a question, and i won't be able to sleep properly now
and i want to share it now
you know, there are about 7 billon ppl on the planet, right
yes?
real, living people.. but how much are there fictional characters?
of the books, poems, tales, movies, games, fanfictions, whatever
Do we also include things that were never placed into a physical medium or shared? (e.g., stories never written down)
well, for ease, let's count only those who are known by more than several close people of the author
something published
Published, okay
Limiting to named characters with some sort of development? Or are background characters included?
background characters, like, who don't have any personality, name or serious role?
I'd probably require that they have a name, but it's your question
How about "Leroy, the grocery seller"?
isn't there a short comic about Charlie or something where they are a fictional character and the comic guilt trips you for stop reading because Charlie is afraid he would die if you aren't there to give him his existence.
hmm
Hold up lemme find a similar thing, Fox
i'd say, probably more yes than no
Then definitely more than 7 billion
like, if they can be described on wiki as a named NPC
which doesn't work with most enemies
:peepoSad:
maybe somebody does, it's a twitch emote
"Please don't close the book, I don't want to die"
Me: "Well too bad, I have to go to toilet" close book
lmao
why can't we just live on in a fanfic
i'm a part of your life, you're a part of mine
let me be your author
I don't wanna live in a wattpad fanfic 
This reminds me of that climactic quote from AC Revelations, ||“What is a man but the sum of his memories? We are the stories we live! The tales we tell ourselves!”||
We knowing about Sappho's poem or Gilgamesh's epic is mindblowing
Especially that some stories predate written language and yet they're still around. Oof.
wherever we go, a line of legends follow
FOUND IT: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ancient-sea-rise-tale-told-accurately-for-10-000-years/
Without using written languages, Australian tribes passed memories of life before, and during, post-glacial shoreline inundations through hundreds of generations as high-fidelity oral history. Some tribes can still point to islands that no longer exist—and provide their original names.
that’s pretty amazing. i know that ancient greek oral traditions were more fluid, with performers embellishing well known stories
i didn’t know there were people who passed down their stories with such accuracy
That's probably what happened most of the time. Tweaked to fit the lessons or to make the story easier to remember.
Yet these other stories seem to have a purpose other than entertainment, so passing them without changes was a must
How they'd manage to do that for 10k years without written language though, I've no clue
I know! ||Aliens||? Maybe?
writing can be unreliable. words can change or fade or become lost or fragmented
people set a lot of store by writing because it’s tangible. but historians today are becoming more interested in oral traditions, which shed light on a lot of societies that once lay in the margins of history
Fair point. Even if they learned to read and write somehow, their records would decay quickly
That said, I truly wish we knew more things about the Sea Peoples and Carthage's customs and stories
Pains me to think how many civs we've no record of
yeah, or patchy, unreliable records written by outsiders
the indus valley civilization intrigues me: they had a writing system, but it hasn’t been deciphered yet
I forgot about the strong chance all these civs had their own math discoveries already. I wasn't in pain. But you made me remember 
BUT! Also remembered this article, https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/icosahedron/
Although they are termed Platonic solids there is convincing evidence that they were known to the Neolithic people of Scotland at least a thousand years before Plato, as demonstrated by the stone models pictured in Fig. 1 which date from this period and are kept in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
...
...Dorothy Marshall's excellent paper "Carved stone balls", which catalogues 387 carved stone balls found in Scotland, dating from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age.
...
Do these look like icosahedra? I'd like to know. But even if they do, should we credit Scots with "discovering the icosahedron"? Perhaps not.
Last sentence is a bummer but even so it's quite trippy. Fascination with geometry goes a long way back.

not something i can comment on: i haven’t studied math of any kind in years.
icosohedra=d20?
Ye
The image on the paper also shows a D4, D6, and D8
Did the Indus write on parchment or clay or...wax?
Found a bit on a book. They're covered in 1.2 pages 
Apparently they used copper tablets and other small objects. About 400 symbols are known
whoops, i stand corrected
but yeah, there are signs that they were a pretty complex society
Ever been ready to sleep and be like "Ok, brain give me an awesome nightmare"
then woke up next day
scarred?
my nightmares consist of cute girls doing cute things
and my dreams are scary girls doing scary things
Lol dreams can lack sense lol
p much
well
Brains can produce real oddities
there was this one time in my dream, I saw a man that wrote bible verses on the wall with his blood while muttering The Lord's prayer.
while crying blood

what
and my head hurts already thinking about it
and there was this one time I got into a loop in my own dream
like groundhog day or edge of tomorrow
where I die, wake up, die, wake up, die, wake up
you play too much hades
one of my dreams was me falling out of a plane
funny, I didn't play Hades back then
you predicted the future
and now you love the game
also probably the scariest one
Another dream was when I was hunting down a serial killer and later, i became him
Once i dreamt i was bullied in an amusement park which served as a school with luxurous couch cuz I have worn the bag of a drawing where there arent bags
And then a girl i barely know kissed me on my way back .-.
wew
Or no i just dont like her much
Like i remembered that dream when i saw her face at school bruh
Or once i dreamt i tried to hide in a furniture shop instead of going to to philo class and when i realized the teacher tried to get me back i drowned in a pool
And then i became a ghost and tried to steal bikes
In my dream, I was in this church gathering. There were loads of people, chilling and generally having a good time. There was a scream, someone grabbed a knife and stabbed one of my friend. Then all of the seniors started attacking the kids and eating them. It was a hellscape. I hid in a cupboard, got a phone then called church administrator "This is not supposed to happen". All she said was "Oh it's okay, it's supposed to happen, just let it be" and she cut the phone. Somehow I saw the back door open and ran as fast as I can, screaming for help but.. no one seems to care. There were screaming inside and everyone just goes about their day
as if
it's normal sunday
then I woke up

Yeah if there's more like that .0.""""
cool
every time I have this kind of bad dream, I always tell my friend
he's immune to this
kek
Immune like barely being shocked?
I mean he is immune now
back then when I started having this kinds of dream, he was kind of shocked 
I think my friends get a bit immune to my dreams too
desensitized to the weird stuff you been dreaming of
maybe you're actually less fluffy
oh no
??
You know I'm like never active anymore and just lurk and seeing that was just a "huh, neat" for me
Dreams are wack
I haven't had any that were gruesome or just scary in a while
funny, how i almost had a nightmare today.. since the childhood my nightmares were like, something in the empty apartment starts to make noise, or toys/dolls begin to move, or a doppelganger of our cat from the past appears and attacks as soon as gets uncovered..
but today we were going through some old stuff with my mother, and found some very very old papers, with something nice written.. and when we were about to read through, something made a beeping noise from a box of toys
again, like always, i began to run, but it was not really scary, more like.. annoying, that i have to wake up now, when some interesting stuff was found.. and my mom also told me not to worry much
we left the apartments, and then somehow found out that all of it was a prank from some guy i don't really know, but who happened to be my relative, and he was there several hours ago
so, the dream went on
i̵͓̎ d̸̔ͥȍ̸̚ n̷̶̊ȍ̸̚t̴͕̀ s̩̋͛ĕ̷̵ĕ̷̵ ă̶̸n̷̶̊y͑́́ d̸̔ͥr̶̷͐ĕ̷̵ă̶̸m̶̷ͪs̩̋͛

n̷̶̊ȍ̸̚ c̷͋́h̶̿̓ȍ̸̚i̵͓̎c̷͋́ĕ̷̵
u know, considering what some particular religions and/or some particular priests can do to young minds, the dream somehow makes sense
@proud flicker sorry, i've interrupted
I personally see some dreams as a real look into how we think and feel tbh. I've had some dreams that are just nonsense but others that when I think about it just says a lot about just how I'm feeling
Oh
well, i do, i just forget them
Ahh, I remeber most of my dreams
because they weren't happening just before i woke up
so they are immediately erased from the memory
my friend didn't had any dreams as well for a long time, then somehow they started to happen
i don't even have a knowledge of that
around 20 years or so
dreams scientifically always happen
Oh do y'all ever get those dreams that are just events that happen later
it is just that they get erased, if we don't wake up during them
Lile just almost prophecy dreams but it's such a small thing
yeah those are the dreams that i remember most
i've seen once a place that i've never been before, then some time later i happened to visit the similar place irl, with same atmosphere
but that was just once
sometimes i will be doing something and in my head i will think "didnt i already do this"
in reality i never did that thing but it happened in a dream
a lot of people have this
^^^yea this happens a lot for me
it is a deja vu feeling
lol yeah
sometimes i notice i have like, pre-deja vu, like i saw or am doing something in my head, and i feel like i will do it in the future
and then forget about it moments after
that's actually nice
bc sometimes it can be irritating, when you think "i'll probably remember this moment later", and then you really do, several years later or so.. and you're like "darn it"
but when you HAVE to remember something, like, important info, or number, or name, it gets away from the head immediately
checking the time or whether you locked the front door several times, then leaving and immediately forgetting what time it is or whether you locked the front door, and either goong back to check again or existing in a state of anxiety
just say something, you will remember
after you close the door
indeed it is
What
he sleepy
i want to get a cold brew but i know if i do ill be up until 2... im being oppressed

@faint panther scam bot
@dusty rover You have the Home/End keys within you. Always have had. I mean, sorta. You could do Cmd+Left/Right Arrow. Not everywhere though. Cmd+Up/Down also emulates Pg Up and Down?
the power was in me all along, got it
what is happening, my prof is leaving a bunch of us in the waiting room
oh, he just let us in
ten minutes late
the zoom life is hard for everyone
Your semester is still going?
summer term

Ping a mod

ping a mod, any mod
@sharp grail
what is it?
It's been taken. the user in question has been dealt with. Babs contacted me
tell me why i convinced my self the 16 was some far off date when is actually this sunday and now i have to chug out a 3 page paper quickly due to my lack of a concept of time
WHY ARE STALKING MY LIFE?!
No, I'm not just starting a lab report that I need to upload it in 4 days
that's plenty of time to write three pages wdym
also best of luck, I know some things take longer than others 
this game is rly fun
if you’re talking about hades, #h1-discussion is the place to go!
you can do 3 pages I believe
I believe in you! You can do it!
happy eid yes
thx 😄
Thanks everyone 🥰
Hi, could someone in the Moderators team please contact me about an attempted scam by a person who's only connection to me is the Supergiant Games Discord? Thank you. <@&456908176877551658>
thanks!<3
hey, I received your dm :) give me a second, I will ban the scammer
Hello!
Ah thanks Alma!
Thank you Alma, I hope no one has been hit yet.
Thank you.
Scammers are unfortunately an occasional problem due to the server size, you are always welcome to DM any of us mods (Including the dnd ones-- we just don't like the ping sound effect) and we will happily kick escort them out of the server for you :)
i have a guy trying to scam me as well lol, ill DM you
what are people even getting scammed of here?
i've heard of a lot of incidences of the "OH NO I've accidently REPORTED your STEAM ACCOUNT!!!1" scam
Someone should try the "ask nicely" strat.
"I would appreciate it if you can send me your CC infos. Please let me know if this is possible. Have a good day."
if someone i didn't know approached me and politely asked for my info, i'd be suspicious
just tell me you're a scammer. you won't get my money either way, but if you admit it i may develop a modicum of respect for you
That is really cool (Sisyphus pushing his boulder): https://imgur.com/gallery/CRG7Xq5
I suggest the Youtube channel “Jim Browning“ regarding the scammer topic. Nice guy who explains how some kind of scams work and he also baits scammers into traps trying to make them feel ashamed 
I moderate a discord for another game and we've seen a couple cases of that as well
someone DMs another user saying their steam account was hijacked and requesting details of some sort. Not sure if the users sending the messages have had their own accounts hijacked or what.
Set up 2FA and be happy
its pretty common yes
https://itch.io/blog/252069/announcing-the-first-itchio-creator-day. Just a quick reminder to support your favorite devs tomorrow!
Goodnight all.

I didn't choose being nocturnal, it chose me
i used to be nocturnal and then i stopped, tonight/this morning i am nocturnal bc i had So much caffeine and i forgot how much i liked staying up all night
it's so nice to have no one on and no social media updating and nothing but you and the cool night air
i have gotten So much work done on this big writing project i was working on
yes but i'm also having a great time
i am going to absolutely regret this in a few hours but i have accepted that
So long as you having fun
I can sleep as late as I can
I will always wake up at 6
it is a blessing and a curse
oh i wish i had that problem
i have a sleep disorder where i sleep 10-12+ hrs a night
which is bad when you have work in the morning
ohhh that sucks
you should go to #h1-discussion if you want to talk about hades
i got my covid shot and im feelin good
You are blessed man
nice
In arg even the older arent with the covid shot
getting my second shot in june
before my trip to my brother deployed in alaska
Yeah, from what I've heard, a lot of places still don't have anything at all for vaccines, while other places quite literally have an abundance :S
thats not fun
guys what should I do if I want to find a source for a piece of art but Google reverse image search didn't work?
I know I got it off tumblr but that's all
i would imagine so haha
there are some other image search tools out there, I know B*ng has one, beyond that I'm not sure. Could always post it somewhere and ask if anyone knows the artist
Why did you censor it??
download the saucenao extension if you haven't!
my favourite running gag is people censoring things unnecessarily and people being confused and or angry over it
no no, i understand why you would censor b*ng, its a monster
That's why lol
Bing. Moist. Yslach.
all hail yslach, and its browser of chocie Opera TN the first gaming browser for elder titans
bored but not bad, got some programming work done
thats very good
same
first shot
I missed an upload from one of the YouTubers I follow, so that sucks
but at least I got a shot
I didnt feel much of anything from either shot
eh
I've heard my arm's gonna be sore
I kinda feel it but it might be because I was leaning on my arm
no wait
it is kinda hard to move it
yeah okay so I can feel it a bit
for both my shot i got a pretty sore arm but no other symptoms, which is very nice
i had a professor who had to cancel class bc her symptoms were so intense after her second shot
oh yeah I've had that happen to a couple of my teachers, too
that was a fun day, no PE
Hi!
hullo!
how are you?
i am very tired! but generally good. how are you?
I'm fine, luckily, where are you from?
i live in the us
oh! Us
did you say you from argentina?
Sorry if I'm late in answering, I'm learning English and I use a translator
yes!
I guess they all play Hades here, right?
no worries! english can be hard. a lot of people play hades, but many people also play the supergiant games, like pyre or bastion
What do you play of Supergiant?
i like playing bastion the most
What is it about
I like transistor the most and close behind pyre
What those games are about?
pyre is a story based game around getting lots of friends and playing some wizard sports with them, its a very cool game as there are so many endings
transistor is a strategy ish action game that has an amazing ending
it's actually supposed to be
"What are those games about"
I know you're learning, I'm just trying to help
and customization on your attacks
Thanks for correcting me
I use google translate
jajaa
oof yeah Google Translate kinda sucks...
If I am wrong, please correct me to learn
alright
I'll look out for that in the future
correcting people's grammar is what I do anyways
I'm very fun at parties
the most fun people at parties only correct grammar
how old you
14? really?
yeah
where are you from?
USA is my favorite country and I would like to visit it sometime
it's a nice place
don't pay attention to the politics
DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE POLITICS OH GOD
it's like Twitter but real
OH NO HES RIGHT
what place is more beautiful to visit?
oh I wouldn't know, I haven't really traveled out of the country a lot
I mean every state is kinda its own country tbh
hell even within the stae, socal and nocal are different
NY is beautiful?
same with tennessee
death valley in california is very beautiful, although aptly named because it is extremely hot
NY City is, well, a large city.
Upstate NY is as rural as rural gets.
the oregon coast has beautiful ocean views
So depends on what you like.
Socal? Nocal?
depends on what you think is beautiful. I personally dont like big cities so I would consider the forests of Northern Vermon to be much prettier then NY
socal = southern california, norcal = northern california
South California and North California
I know it's cliche, but I love Hawaii
yeah, and lots of coconuts
the waterfalls are also great
wait
cant it be classified as a mammal?
I really like big cities and I would like to live in the USA.
But it is very difficult that I can live in the US
wow Google Translate frickin' destroyed that
Sorry hjahah
*I really like big cities and I would like to live in the USA
but it is very difficult to immigrate there
ah, not your fault
Thanks!
It is different how they speak in each country in the US?
you can find different way people pronounce words, but otherwise it's pretty much the same
you have many accents.
oh yeah, a lot of them
yeah, english is spoken the same in each state all around, but different accents make different words sound different
each State basically tells it own story
spanish is also pretty common in the us too
oh, I forgot
you mean state, not country
They have different ways of saying the same word. as in Argentina
yeah we have that here
sometimes people will accentuate different letters or sounds or stuff that comes with accents
yeah, like you can say pop, soda, coke, all refer to soft drink.
in Miami they have a lot of Latinos
california has a big mexican population, especially in southern california
I think the correct word there would be Latinx, since that refers to both Latino and Latina people
In fact, Cali used to be Mexico
woah, really?
oh wait, yeah, before colonization, it probably was
even afterwards: wasn't the US originally 13 states in the east?
yeah
really?
i prefer latine since latinx is both unpronounceable and generally frowned upon by actual hispanic people
yeah, Mexico lost California in the Mexican-American War.
that's what the 13 Stripes represent on the flag
kinda, obviously I am oversimplifying here.
oh wait really
oh, alright
use his thing
You are right
yeah i've seen latine gaining traction recently
so wait how would you pronounce that?
la-teen?
lateen-ey i believe
that's how i've seen it
yeah, that's better
it would've been weird for it to rhyme with latrine
I would like to play Hades with you while we talk to learn to speak
well school's out I think June
did they have school? Face-to-face or virtual
virtual I bet.
Most places are virtual but some schools are doing hybrid
at my work we're doing in class monday and tuesday and virtual for the rest of the week.
I've heard at my school they're doing in-person 4 days a week, then Wednesday is Online
How old are you?
i am 29
Here in Argentina complete virtual
what do you work on
i work in special education
right now i'm in grad school and just a student teacher
what would special education be?
it's education made to work with students who have conditions like intellectual disabilities, or orthopedic-related disabilities. it covers a lot of things. the idea is it's a space where a student's learning can be shaped specifically to their needs.
what a nice job really
it's a great job! sometimes absolutely wild. one student likes to pull my hair and hit my arms. but he's not spitting on me at least.
Not used to the discord font and color changes
i hate it :/
can't say i like it either
yeah it is pretty poopy
I don't know if the reaction it got is truly deserved but it's definitely a downgrade
but he's not a bad boy, is he? You don't hit the other students, right?
actually someone from one of the servers I'm a part of made an image that sums up the font changes
keep in mind the point of this change is to make it more accessible
i just would rather have kept the more neutral shades, there's something off about the new colours
yeah
it looks... more... purple?
which is just kinda... weird...
also the font changes are extra hilarious when you keep in mind that they only changed the Dis Logo because it wasn't symmetrical
I think it would be a LOT better if the font was different
they just...darkened/brightened the colours. can't say i noticed that the old logo was asymmetrical
y'know what would make it better
if it was changed to the old one
if they wanted something simpler, they couldve just removed the negative space on the text
And made it a bit rounder
discord does have a feedback form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTzNbITTRx4BYWFlC3gi_lEi3D3rsa9VCBK_EphF5myDb7uw/viewform
im sure this has been sent out many times
like this feedback specifically
I don't hate this rebrand, its just not great
its the link they're currently giving out in response to feedback about these changes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
all i can say is hopefully they pay attention to the amount of people disliking the changes and roll back some of it
not holding my breath but maaaaybe
where is this new discord logo people are talking about?
everything looks the same to me.
they made it more streamlined and symmetrical. as for the font in the above picture...i’m not sure where you come across that
Are truffles vegan? The only way to find truffles is to train a dog or pig to find them
it's a mushroom
Found it
but yeah, the new one somehow reminds me of comics sans of all things
not that this matters
I don't like the "i"
me neither
where is my pitchfork
It's a mushroom, but animals worked to get it. Like honey
discord is ruined
ruined, I tell you
I literally cannot use this app ever again.
and here you are
Time to return to Skype
digging up my Yh! Messenger account
oh man when was the last time I used Yahoo
somewhere in middle school for me.
it was the first instant messaging service I used.
nah gonna return to the good ol days of msn messenger
I'm sorry I had to be the one to break it to you 😔 msn messenger died
gonna return to my flip phone and text my friends
Cybernecromancy
tfw i remember using yahoo and msn messenger 
i remember having gradient text with yahoo, it was the best
Gradient text, huh.
The examples I found look rather neat. Wonder why it faded away.
That's what gradients do, but still
Gradients are cool
msn messenger was the mvp
i used it more bc it was just generally more well known and more people used it, but ngl yahoo was balling with the custom colours. me and a school friend would chat at night and play around with colours lol was fun
used msn more i mean 0:
iirc i think you could only do solid colour text on msn so brownie points all went to yahoo
guys how about we meet on icq instead
for some reason old one seems more geometrically right, while new one makes my inner perfectionist feel uneasy
idk what was "asymmetrical" before, new has even less balance
for dogs finding things is fun, they actually feel worse without any complicated stuff to do
I appreciate you pointing out the Feedback Form, but when someone points out the negative things about the logo change, Dis just says "embrace the future", and in the feedback form they only respond to the positive messages
so I don't think it's gonna be better
🤷♂️
I honestly think they have no intention of changing it at all
intent to not alter changes is usually the intent of platforms when they roll out changes like this users clearly didnt want, yes. thats not surprising. but sometimes enough backlash can force reconsidering, being complacent certainly won't
I dunno you think they'd have seen the change and thought "maybe we shouldn't do this?"
gestures at the entirety of twitter
I mean, yeah, sure, maybe they're waiting for it to settle so that they can see if it's really that it's that the logo is bad or people just hate it was replaced
but by then NOBODY will care
and I just don't think they're gonna change this one, gamers
😔
changes like this are never done for the benefit or detriment of users, its for shareholders lol thats why you always end up with these "did no one look at this and see how bad it was" situations (this is like generally speaking and not about discord specifically)
doesnt benefit necessarily but these sort of things are for broader appeal to get to a wider market and get more $$$
Disney is public, I own DIS shares.
I abbreviate Discord to Dis
like, i just mentioned twitter
I know, I'm kd.
although you were probably joking but I kinda wanted to say that
so im trying to point out this is usually why this sort of thing is done
but i didnt clarify so my bad
I mean I posted an image above explaining kinda why this logo is pretty bad
here I'll dredge it up
this one
ah, okay
kinda clearly shows that it's not very...
well...
smart decision to make?
like, they changed the logo, which is cool, whatever, I guess
they changed it to make it more symmetrical
but they picked a really asymmetrical font
which is just really counter-intuitive to the point
yeah well thats. words are hard but uhm. i guess ultimately what im trying to say here is regardless of public vs private platform this stuff is like. very rarely done for users
New logo is fine, honestly I wouldn't realize they changed it if they didn't tell me.
yeah words are hard I suck at text-only arguments
That font though
wait hold on what does "very rarely done for users" mean
its means im very jaded
ah, okay
If you're 100% correct to be cynical, are you really jaded?
i mean,
well that's a tricky line between realism and cynicism
Seriously, the amount of user-hostile design in tech is incredibly depressing.
If you aren't made of precious rocks and gems, are you really jade?
er, pessimism
Even SGG nerfs Merciful End
yeah don't forget the @high coyotes
Nah, no Merciful End nerf besides Divine Dash being taken off the prereqs list was notable.
they made it white...
for some reason?
They dropped bonus damage from 120 to 20 over the course of EA and it didn't make it any weaker.
Or is it 40, now?
no convo on this server takes place without mention of Hades /s
Hey, I wasn't gonna mention that.
I'm joking. Maybe my jokes aren't funny anymore 😩
but if you wanna talk about Approval Process...
but yeah "user-hostile design" is prob a simple way to put it rather than trying haphazardly to string together multiple points about how many times ive seen platforms roll out these kind of changes people didnt ask for under the guise of accessibility, when the users clearly werent in mind
nah I get you're joking, I just use those as segues to talk about non-jokes
yeah that's fair
It's a bit of an umbrella term, I suppose.
It's kinda paradoxical
Not at all.
Because I would consider Apple products and services user hostile.
Well, lemme see what you mean by that, first.
Yes, they are.
Designed to be less functional and extract more money from the consumer.
But Apple would say that it just works
shoot I know a good paradox but I lost it
So user friendly
Sure, because they're in the business of taking your money, and (likely) they and other companies have lobbied (legal [redacted] bribery, what the hell US?) so that they can lie to consumers' faces like that and get away with it.
Rights to repair.
100% user hostility, denying right to repair.
No no, you can repair your stuff
But just at these specific locations for ouraggeous prices
im sle🅱️y but not yet enough for me to not get angry about that
Well that's just it, isn't it? Apple's policies explicitly forbid users from repairing their stuff themselves.
So you "might as well buy a new phone" wink wink
Yeah, I'm not seeing how this is anything less than user-hostile design.
I don't understand what point you're trying to reach.
Apple lying through their teeth doesn't make it paradoxical, it just makes them a garbage company.
You should go to bed, Tatz.
You see, it's user hostile because it's up to spec. If yoy are tech illiterate, send it to Apple care
Or just buy a new phone
I'm not saying I agree with their reasoning, but that's what they say
Also, sofrware
Well it doesn't matter if you are tech literate, because Apple's warranties are voided if you repair the item yourself.

Apple "it just works" means that the user have fewer customizations
Are you saying that what Apple is saying actually means literally anything?
isnt this like. not even apple tho. like. p much anyone voids your warranty the moment you open up any tech i feel like
yeah
Look, my point is, if I have money to buy my parents a new phone, I would probably get them a pair of iPhones for iMessage and FaceTime.
it's to prevent stupid people from breaking their stuff
they just know that people will take any kind of changes, bc they have little choice. what else would they do, switch to android?
or to skype?
worst case scenario - couple of failed petitions, small boycott with few participants, and then people will just submit to the future
Look man, corporations are humans, too. /s
Of course they can have money free speech to lobby Congress, kill off anti trust reforms, snuff rights to repair.
Don't you want people to have freedom? Don't be so anti American.
i was born in ussr technically xd
idk where this convo is going anymore so i'll head off now lmao cheers
Good night.
gn then
I found that paradox btw
"nothing is objective."
what i don't like, that the choice is like in average modern games, you can accept or decline an option, but that will not affect the ending
If God is omnipotent, can God do something He can't do?
eat what you have been served, or don't eat at all
can God do something who can't do?
Can God do something God can't do?
God can do anything
so the answer is no, but yes?
I think it's no
because I think his powers are supposed to be limitless
But if he can do something, then that thing is no longer "something he can't do"
so it's no?
- second statement is true
- first statement is false
it's a paradox within certain worldviews
this is in relation to the paradoxes we made?
From what I have read though
sorta yes
Even if Gos is omnipotent, there are certain things he can't do, according to some philosophers.
As in, he can't contradict logic. Example, God can't make a squared circle.
well if the statement "nothing is objective" is true, then that statement is not objective, which means not everything is objective
and if that statement is false, then, well, it is an objective statement
so there are objective statements
This statement is false.
it reminded me a lot of that
me and my friend were having an existential moment where we contemplated the vast infinites of teh universe and she dropped that one
"nothing is objective"
Oh here is a funny one
Nothing is impossible. But I do nothing everyday!
From Winnie the Pooh
(in GLaDOS voice) don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it...
I don't get the "The cake is a lie" joke
I can't for the life of me find that conversation, though
I found it, it was in a GC
Yo mina!
Does Anybody know what programs the supergiant team use to create their games? Or a link to see the list about it?
I would like try to make one game like Hades with similar character with a friend 😄 (it s for fun hah)
(Sorry for my language, i m from france)
they use their own engine, so their own program
at least failry certain its their own program, it is 100% their engine but they might use something that meshes with it
Yeah, they use their own proprietary engine for their games
annetnion lyte, the sky
true
They use that engine. The Forge is also included in credits.
ah ok thanks
they ware using custom Monogame in their previous games
now its TheForge, its also kind of custom, but its custom for each dev that use The Forge engine as its modular.
You can read on their site :
We are working with Supergiant since 2014. One of the on-going challenges was that their run-time was written in C#. At the beginning of 2019, we suggested to help them in building a new cross-platform game engine in C/C++ from scratch with The Forge. The project started in April 2019 and the first version of this new engine launched in May this year. Hades was then released for Microsoft Windows, MacOS, and Nintendo Switch on September 17 2020. The game can run on all platforms supported by The Forge.
The year 2021 will see more console platforms running the game.
ooo ok
I played a session of monopoly with my cousins
It took 3.5+ hours to end
Even then not all the way
Wait
Is this for hades??
yes
Where can I check that out?
check what out?
This post
Thank u
only 3.5 😄 ?
yall playing anything good?
Hades :)
But no seriously
Dark Souls, Doom Eternal, and Celeste all slap
Dead Cells, working on 5BC.
It's really hard.
Yeye that too
Picked up Neon Abyss recently, really enjoying it
I got back into persona 4 golden yesterday
hey some of you people understand computers could i get some help?
Yo?
alright i have an acer aspire 5. i got it back in March. it works great. then today i am on it, it's not plugged in, i have word, spotify, firefox, and possibly discord open and i get up and leave and when i come back the screen is black but glowing and it's making this whirring sound like it's trying to complete something but cant, it sort of sounds like gasping
i can't force it to shut down and keeping it open or closed doesnt change anything
As in, holding down the power button for 10+ seconds, no response?
And have you tried plugging it back in?
Does the whirring sound seem like the fan blowing or a disk spinning?
oh i plugged it in and held down power for long enough and now it's fine
so thank you!
Celeste based
never finished it though
Ayyy
Ok
maybe it is american english?
weird how sometimes I see in games
English (US)
English (UK)
do you think that's based on like, the slang used?
yeah, it’s always us, uk, or sometimes both (probably due to differences in spelling and word meanings)
like, favorite/favourite
from a canadian perspective it doesn’t matter much, though i’d probably lean towards uk english
alright
I’m an American, but I think the UK flag is a better design choice.
Well I guess being hated for 3.5 hours is pretty long
Owned around 10+ lots
Some have houses with 2000 dollar charge at minimum
I bankrupted 2 players out of 5 (including me)
Some rather be in jail than land on my lot
It was that bad

We were thinking to go all the way and see which of us got second place
But it was late
And I have work
yup, that's late game monopoly for sure
Also this podcast is amazing on the topic.
That moment when one of the member from your fav band committed fraud, got arrested, caused the band's indefinite hiatus, and took down their presence from any media, like spotify and youtube
;-;
epic gamer moment
Do I want to ask...?
got my vax :)
nice
The government can now track you more easily
Good job sheeple
They have been tracking is ever since we put on our masks
She also gets unlimited 5G, so it's not a total loss
heyo!
Idk do you? 
:3
