[bitter magnet]

ah

[dawn gust]

I was thinking High School

[bitter magnet]

lol

[dawn gust]

And I got even more confused

[bitter magnet]

ah yes, my high school too , lags on androids

[proud flicker]

High School doesn't work on Android. They have a teacher mode that forcefully shut off my phone if I try to use it "at the wrong time."

Hell some version, like mine, have the military preset where they just take your phone away for the whole day.

[bitter magnet]

i heard the newer versions of HIgh school allow for android compatibility

its more optimized

[proud flicker]

That's good I suppose

[bitter magnet]

mhm

[severe rune]

Its not out yet

[bitter magnet]

yeah

but everyone just forgot about that game

all the hype

ded

i only just remembered it because i think i saw some podcast discussing it

[proud flicker]

I guess the game should high tale to release if they don't want to be forgotten

Yeah yeah?

[bitter magnet]

isnt it supposed to release

this year

[bitter magnet]

badum tsk

[severe rune]

They never gave a release date I thought

[bitter magnet]

they said 2021

[severe rune]

oh

[mild pelican]

i've first time heard that name just now

[north pulsar]

could it be that the curve on the katana was originally just a byproduct from the quenching and the blade being unevenly heated

[swift valley]

You mean katana

[upbeat rain]

no its definitely katakana

[swift valley]

alright

[proud flicker]

could it be that the curve on the banana was originally just a byproduct from the mutation and the shaft being unevenly developed

[proud flicker]

But to answer your question, it's unlikely.
Afaik katanas are meant to slice.
A slight curve makes such task easier.
It's the same way how most knives have a slight curve.
You won't find a straight edge household knife (except for specialty knives).

[quick cairn]

yea i dont think a curve in the way katanas have it is really that possible in the quench process lol

since normally you would find warps of it curving to a side, not its entire blade shifting up and down

[faint panther]

What's your stance to cold approaches?

[terse frost]

fun artists tip - when drawing character who are related, draw one, keep the base design and just tweak it- like the can i copy your homework meme

[magic sentinel]

📝👀

[severe rune]

whats your favorite pokemon

[limber walrus]

glaceon is up there, for sure

[proud flicker]

take a wild guess

[dawn gust]

I know the Pokémon

Mudkip

[upbeat rain]

Is it dusa ?

[limber walrus]

Wait what??? Since when does Fox like Mudkip?? I thought you were a hardcore Steelix fan

[high coyote]

Oshawott

[hexed hollow]

looks at their own pfp absolutely not Aron, that would be absurd /s

[limber walrus]

To be fair

I had no idea that was an Aron until you told me

[proud flicker]

its chaaron

[limber walrus]

But ChaAron is absolutely adorable

[bronze lintel]

Gigalith

[swift valley]

Absol

[severe rune]

These are all great choices

All of them are based

[proud flicker]

imagine being 4 times weak to earthquake

• this meme is brought to you by the mudkip gang

[limber walrus]

Imagine being 4x weak to grass types

[quick cairn]

imagine playing pokemon

[proud flicker]

shhh

[limber walrus]

A happy thing to imagine

[tranquil bay]

[proud flicker]

pokemon transcends vidya gaem

it's a cultural phenomenon

and also because the game itself is unchanging

for the last decade

[blissful charm]

pup 2: the sequel to pup

[limber walrus]

Pup :D

[wise wharf]

I like how we first got one pic, then Pup 2 has two pictures

Reminds me of that chess story

[high coyote]

Pup 2: Doggo's Boogaloo

[dawn gust]

Cute dog

[royal relic]

does that mean pup 3 is going to have 3 pictures?

and then pup 4 is going to be a cut down reboot with just 1 picture with a bunch of snapchat filters over it

[royal relic]

man...

this weather

[north pulsar]

why is the aspect of beowulf what looks like a roman scutum

i mean beowulf killed the dragon with like a dager or something

[bronze lintel]

I tried this vegan place for dinner, cause I have no idea what should I eat anymore.

the first thing that came to mind when I ate it was

"I feel really bad for vegans out there"

[wise wharf]

YES. The guy who invented chess bamboozled the king by asking increasing amounts of wheat grains: 1, 2, 4, ... . King got rekt by the power of exponential growth

[severe rune]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-hi-there-greetings-gif-9442662

[wise wharf]

But then you had to ruin it by reminding us that successful movies/games that were planned as a trilogy are going to get a 4th part
(HL2 nonwithstanding)

[royal relic]

[mild pelican]

4th part? or maybe..
A REBOOT

and then.. a new trilogy!

and then.. third trilogy!

[wise wharf]

FeelsTombRaiderMan

[mild pelican]

with completely overwritten characters!

aimed for long time fans, but meant for completely new audience!

[royal relic]

looking back at what's been happening with all the fanchises i like lately - star wars, mirror's edge, fallout, wolfenstein, tomb raider and so on

i'd be fine with all of them just...
not getting sequels, or reboots

i'd rather have no sequels at all than crappy sequels

not everything needs to be milked to death

[mild pelican]

sometimes, the story is better when it's completed

[royal relic]

welp
just look at where you are

[mild pelican]

if the world is good enough and have more potential than the story, then there can be spinoffs

or at least more free fan creativity

[royal relic]

the SGG server
and all their stories are completed, finished, 100% self contained with no need for sequels

i applaud that

[wise wharf]

We've pitched prequel/sequel content over at #pyre

[royal relic]

seriously - now that i think about it...
i don't think i can recall a single reboot that ever turned out to be better than the OG

[mild pelican]

well, what about.. um

[royal relic]

ummmmmmmmm?

[mild pelican]

well..

[royal relic]

well?

[mild pelican]

actually, nevermind

[royal relic]

||inb4 tomb raider ||

my point exactly

[wise wharf]

Pokemon Gen 2, also Shadows of Almia. Not sure if that counts

...
The FR/LG remakes. But we're in the wrong channel again, somehow

[mild pelican]

remakes are not the same thing mostly

[royal relic]

name me...
5 remakes that turned out better than originals

hard mode - no resident evil games

[mild pelican]

well, let's see

hmm.. Demonsouls, Crash the Bandicoot

[bronze lintel]

spyro?

[wise wharf]

#video-games , or we 'd

[royal relic]

[mild pelican]

"only" 35?...

how hot can it be then?

[proud flicker]

Man that's rough. It's 79 F here

[royal relic]

there's only one way to find out

[swift valley]

as per the rules in #readme-first, we want to keep it clean in the server, so swearing is not allowed, and nor is evading the swear filter.

[dawn gust]

Screw the rules I have money

[proud flicker]

or you can improve your vocab to find better expressions

[dawn gust]

Obvs

[tranquil bay]

hey friend this is an all ages server, and as such this community has minors. its not "censorship"

yeah, you can communicate without swears :) and i say that as someone who does so on the regular casually. but some environments are not appropriate for that and this is one of them.

[dawn gust]

OK son

[sharp grail]

i as well, and yet in this server i manage without it. its not a difficult rule

[dawn gust]

Yes babbu

[upbeat scroll]

communities gotta draw the line somewhere, and in this space, that's where they drew the line

you can still say hell (for obvious reasons)

[dawn gust]

Hell is weird since it's sort of a bad word but also not really

[limber walrus]

It's a place :3

My personal take is that words are only "bad" because society deems them so. However, we have to acknowledge that society does deem some words "bad", and until that changes, we need to respect that

And a random discord server, however large, is not the place to try to change that

[dawn gust]

Defeated with facts and logic

[limber walrus]

Which one?

There're a lot

[dawn gust]

Hades

[limber walrus]

As in, your username? You'd be asked to set a nickname

Then most likely, it's short for Richard

And that shorthand for Richard is falling out of common use

[blissful charm]

pup 3: this time it's personal

[dusty rover]

the casual scratch, the relaxing lie down, and the Look

[hexed hollow]

Doggo!

[royal relic]

CALLED IT

pup 3 has 3 pictures

[dry stratus]

really rooting for this dog

[royal relic]

this might be the only trilogy in recent years that ended in a satisfactory way

[mild pelican]

there is a common rule, that lasts for centuries
adults pretend they don't swear in the presence of minors
minors pretend they don't swear in the presence of adults
and it goes on forever and ever

[blissful charm]

her name is holly btw she's my sister's dog

[mild pelican]

cute little loaf of doggo

[royal relic]

hi holly

dog 4: Revengence is going to be a reboot...
...featuring a cat

with lens flares and cut content sold as dlc

[limber walrus]

pretty much, yeah

[blissful charm]

pup 4: revengence

[dry stratus]

really love the calico(?)

those eyes say it all

[blissful charm]

tortie actually! her name is zia :3

[steady thicket]

hmm that name seems oddly familiar 🤔

[blissful charm]

yeah it's super common

[steady thicket]

oh I thought you named her after zia from bastion

just an assumption though

[blissful charm]

oh no i did i was just goofin

[steady thicket]

lol oh

brain fried

[blissful charm]

tone is like impossible to tell over the internet

[steady thicket]

it is but I was like it's probably a common name where they're from so I'll probably just take their word for it

then you could hit the one two trickeroo

[dry stratus]

🐢

[rain mortar]

Love torties

[dry stratus]

also i can't believe i forgot zia's name 🥲

[dawn gust]

I have a cat of similar fur

So they're called torties?

[blissful charm]

yeah! cats with a pattern like that and little white are called tortoiseshell cats

[high coyote]

didn't Pup 2 just come out a day ago? They're really milking the franchise (this is a joke I like the pictures of your dog)

[royal relic]

Pup 4 is a spin-off made by a different dev while the OG crew is working on something big

[bronze lintel]

so it's sequel spin off?

[faint panther]

Babs, I love the picture of Zia way up in the camera so much, you have no idea.

[bronze lintel]

whoa babs, you name her Zia?

that's cute

[high coyote]

sorry I meant Pup 2

[royal relic]

it's not even 10 am and we're already hitting 30c

https://tenor.com/view/dead-i-am-dead-ded-terminator-terminator2-gif-5663820

[bronze lintel]

only 30c?

kek

[royal relic]

it's 30c already

it's gonna get much, much worse

[onyx relic]

hi guys

wich is the channel where Supergiant read more? i have a request to ask, i mean....to try to ask..

[faint panther]

I don't assume they read much unless they do a faq

if you have issues with running a game you can ask in this discord or contact them

[limber walrus]

They do check relatively frequently—depending on the request, you could put it in #supergiant-games or reach out to them through the Contact page of their website (or potentially a different channel)

Also, @faint panther , there's a way to have the actual emoji in your nickname if you want

[faint panther]

oh cool

how do you do that?

[limber walrus]

Copy it directly from here: https://emojipedia.org/bow-and-arrow/

(also, DD is an excellent game )

[faint panther]

oh very cool thanks

it is ;)

i mean - there's bright
and then there's mat_fullbright 1

[bronze lintel]

and then there's light mode

[dawn gust]

I'm on light mode and... meh

[royal relic]

light mode

https://youtu.be/qfxDEZX9K0o

yeah, never

[dawn gust]

There are a few things that are kinda hard to see cause of light mode but otherwise, people exaggerate the sniff out of this

[royal relic]

i'm a night owl

even accidentally opening google main page hurts my eyes

[dawn gust]

The sun is the only thing that is irritating

I prefer the moon

Mmm rain

[bronze lintel]

it's raining rn

[royal relic]

i was supposed to do some work

in doom, ofc

but it's like...

nah mate
it's too hot for that
I have to focus on not dying

[bronze lintel]

[royal relic]

and wake up all covered in sweat?

and then not sleep in the night when it's actually nice and cool?
yeah nah

[bronze lintel]

well found a blood orange in the fridge so I'm good

[severe rune]

idk what that is

is it just an orange but red

[bronze lintel]

yes

but also it's sweeter than normal orange

[faint panther]

let's talk some spoilers here

||Why is Kaido killing Orochi?||

[royal relic]

man this is just absurd

i can't handle this

[proud flicker]

What are you gonna do about it?

I'm grabbing a cold one from my Xbox Mini Fridge if I have one

[royal relic]

hell yeah
i'm doing the same - just chilling, jamming to cradle of filth, enjoying some ice cold
waiting for the weather to cool off just a bit so i could get at least some work done

it's so hot i can't even play games cause i'm afraid of my laptop overheating too hard and just

[proud flicker]

Laptop
Just dunk it in water to cool it. That's what water cooling means yeah

[royal relic]

legit did that once a few years back
with coffee, by accident, of course

goddamn thing smelled like french pressed dark roast for a month whenever it got even mildly warm from playing games

[upbeat rain]

milk works better

[royal relic]

and i was playing modded new vegas at the time so it got warm A LOT

[royal relic]

my lenovo is lactose intolerant

also - we don't drink milky coffee in this household

[upbeat rain]

bro
lack toast in taller ants isnt a real thing

stuped person

[royal relic]

[proud flicker]

I want a new laptop tbh

[royal relic]

i want some new hardware too
but i'm not gonna buy a new laptop

no way

is this the type of water alex jones was warning us about?

if so then i'd like two bottles, please

[sleek gyro]

I'd like four

[royal relic]

[faint panther]

Dude /rseduction is so messed up really. This subreddit is full of hopeless people who instead of trying to fix their mental and their confidence, all they do is experimenting on cold approach methods and pick up

[proud flicker]

if you want to try cold approach

do tinder

i mean the whole platform is exactly that

[faint panther]

yea but how do you start a conversation with a stranger without coming across as a creep?

I mean talking to strangers on the street hoping you get a girl's number doesn't make it any less of that

[proud flicker]

you don't

if you want to pick people up, try a bar

it's the expectation of the place/platform

you are on tinder, well, for one reason

[faint panther]

And even there not all people seem to want to be bothered by strangers just a small minority

I am on tinder to look at girls photos and get a small sense of confidence by getting swiped right

not meet them

[blissful charm]

well what's in your profile?

[faint panther]

One or two photos

[blissful charm]

i mean tinder is set up for snap decisions based on looks but profile is a factor too

[faint panther]

I haven't put any effort in it

[blissful charm]

hard to get matches without effort

[faint panther]

To be fair, my biggest complaint on the "approach girls" topic (while we are still on it) is that really few girls are willing to talk to new people and most of them go to the bar with their friends, unlike America which is probably more common

[royal relic]

if anything, if i were to use tinder i'd probably see it as confidence destroyer, not confidence booster

"wow - look at all those people completely out of my league "
"wow... they're all out of my league "

just constantly getting swiped

the, um

which one is the wrong way?

[upbeat rain]

Up

[royal relic]

no - that's the app drawer

[upbeat rain]

No it's the wrong way

Because you are supposed to be swiping left and right

So

Don't swipe up

[royal relic]

ok so which one is which?

[proud flicker]

up is north

like this ^

[upbeat rain]

Left is left and right is right

[royal relic]

neat

[proud flicker]

he gives up xD

[royal relic]

yeah i kinda do

you win this round

[upbeat rain]

I always win

True gamers never lose

[proud flicker]

win is my middle name

[upbeat rain]

Fox win hope

[proud flicker]

yes

[faint panther]

Damn I got banned from Professor Akali's server

The 4 people talking there really disliked me probably

[proud flicker]

why would a bronze player have a discord?

[faint panther]

Because he is famous and has a community

It's one of these servers with 10k people in it but only 4 or 5 people talking for some reason

[upbeat scroll]

oh, so like this server

[faint panther]

No no this server is really active

[quick cairn]

mood

[quick cairn]

you see the same handful of people consistent on here tho

[faint panther]

on offtopic yeah

on the hades channels there are so many people talking probably

I've personally muted those threads because I am more concerned about talking whatever

and meeting new people

[fervent zenith]

I'm just making time till the next SGG game

[proud flicker]

yeah #off-topic-discussion and #video-games have like 20 souls consistently posting

[faint panther]

Don't hold your breath for that 😛

[quick cairn]

yea i mean i just skimmed through hades general and i recognized 8 names lol so :/

[proud flicker]

but #h1-discussion has lot of traffic though

old and new

[royal relic]

ohohohoho!
beat me to it

[proud flicker]

i mean that what being a regular means. the thing is new people cycle through #h1-discussion also quite often

[upbeat scroll]

this place is really quiet relative to population, though

even with all the hades chat

[proud flicker]

yeah, that is true, relatively

[faint panther]

yeah but discord isn't really made for huge audiences if you think about it.

[upbeat scroll]

I've seen servers with constant chat all day and all nite

[faint panther]

Can you imagine a thread with over 10 people writing whatever comes to their mind ? It would be total chaos

[upbeat scroll]

yeah it gets nightmarish

[swift valley]

Im in a server like that for a phone game yeah

[proud flicker]

boy the Attack on Titan server when the last ep was released

[royal relic]

just say something bad about nintendo over at #video-games and enjoy the show

[proud flicker]

was utter chaos

they had 4 voice channels

literally all full

[swift valley]

if you have a question it

[proud flicker]

4x99

[swift valley]

it's a coin flip on whether it gets insta buried

[faint panther]

We got a lot of Nintendo fans aww

[swift valley]

are people acutally defending nintendo?

[royal relic]

apparently

[swift valley]

I almost swore off a switch bc it was the first console to not be backwards compatible at all

[faint panther]

We are talking about the company that has 9/10 titles named mario or zelda for over 20 years

Oh and not dropping their console prices a single dollar

[proud flicker]

yes to the second point

[high coyote]

at least it's not compatible for a reason

[royal relic]

hell yeah let's go bois

[proud flicker]

to this one, those are actually good games with innovations, except for pokemon

[quick cairn]

isnt the ps5 like $400-500??

[royal relic]

i'm just gonna sit here and enjoy the show

[quick cairn]

like you cant complain too hard about the switch, its meant to be a portable but still home console so like im satisfied with it

[faint panther]

yeah the devs are gamers with children's heart but the corporates are greedy old men who ruin the company's reputation little by little

[proud flicker]

i mean botw is good. mario odyssey is good.
credit where credit is due.

[quick cairn]

and for the games i look to indie for stuff

[proud flicker]

get in here coward

[high coyote]

I wihs I could but it

[faint panther]

All Sony had to do to beat Nintendo is to make a good kart game

[high coyote]

it's Father's Day and my Dad's opening gifts

I gotta go

[faint panther]

that doesn't cost half my kidney

[quick cairn]

imo botw: eh but a good step for the series
odyssey: solid but im not a fan of collectathons

[royal relic]

i'm gonna get so banned for this
the whole channel lit up like crazy

[quick cairn]

same with 3h, an eh game as a whole but a good step for the series

[quick cairn]

im waiting for a mod to tell us to go to #video-games lol

[proud flicker]

i respect your opinion but the general consensus is that the main ninty franchises get more care than say the yearly CoD, Battlefield, or god forbids, NBA or FIFA.

[faint panther]

But hey I gotta give it to the japanese hacks. They are really thriving in the gaming business they know how to make games at least

[swift valley]

whoops I didn't realize this wasn't videogames

[proud flicker]

japanese hacks
that sounds a bit condescending to me?

[royal relic]

come on now
you're now comparing your games to re-heated mcdonalds

[faint panther]

I would hate nintendo a lot less if they dropped their price a bit

[proud flicker]

what should i compare them to?

those are big main franchises of big AAA studios

im not gonna compare Mario, Zelda to indies like Isaac or Hades

[proud flicker]

yes.

[royal relic]

hey remember when nintendo stopped a charity fundraiser because it dared to use a name... joycon boyz ?

i remember

[quick cairn]

i mean ninty has the same prices as other AAA and tbh the ps5 and xbox-s are like $500 compared to switch 300

[royal relic]

we give other companies crap - and rightfuly so
but i don't remember - oh i don't know - ubisoft pulling such stunts

[faint panther]

ps 5 won't cost close to Pro Switch

[proud flicker]

sure. you are right. but this is whatboutism. Nintendo games are mostly not bad.

[swift valley]

what I would credit Mario for is that it's enjoyable for casuals

[faint panther]

in 2 or 3 years

[proud flicker]

im takling about the games

[swift valley]

indie games (at least the ones I played) tend to go high difficulty without much learning curve

[proud flicker]

ninty has their fair share of evil business tactics

but we are comparing games

[royal relic]

ok let's talk about their games

remember free melee fiasco?

[swift valley]

and lower diffficulty is presented as accessibility

[faint panther]

Mario this mario that

[royal relic]

or their scuffed pricing?

yeah i still remember

[proud flicker]

that's still business tactics

how about this

[faint panther]

Oh and porting characters from another franchises to their smash bros once a year

[proud flicker]

was meelee a bad game?

[faint panther]

Meelee was a client I think

[royal relic]

no it wasn't

[proud flicker]

was any of the main mario line bad games

[royal relic]

oh boy
there's so many to chose from

[faint panther]

Dacia

Just wait for the old corporate hacks to die at Nintendo

Let the devs make their games

= new era

[swift valley]

and the new corporate hacks to replace them..?

[proud flicker]

that's a bit of a naive take to me.

[faint panther]

Isolate them to a room

[royal relic]

actually
if anything - i'd say that reggie/iwata era of nintendo was the only one where i was even remotely interested in them

[proud flicker]

to me, the best way to "solve" this never on sale mentality of nintendo is just making more cross-platform games.

[royal relic]

but anything before or after them is just...
they're just as bad as all the other companies out there

[faint panther]

They won't make cross platform games

[proud flicker]

no, but third parties can

and even some console exclusives are seeing ports to PC

[faint panther]

They would rather go bankrupt than see their Mario games playable on PCs

[proud flicker]

and the entire Xbox line up are mostly available by game pass on pc

[royal relic]

which is good

exclusives are dumb anyway

[proud flicker]

there is the pressure for ninty to make games outside of their platform

[faint panther]

PS exclusives give me enough incentive for example not to buy the console

[royal relic]

oh yeah like that mobile mario game with mtx

[proud flicker]

well you said they are hacks yeah. hacks will do eveything to get money. if cross platform makes money, they will jump ship.

[royal relic]

naaaah
no way

they value their beloved IPs way, waaaaaay too much

[faint panther]

Well it doesn't work like that, because by doing so they lose profits from Switch

exactly dacia

[royal relic]

just look at how fast and loose they're playing with C&Ds

anything - music on youtube
fan projects
goddamn let's plays a few years ago

even twitch streams

oi
stop that!

[proud flicker]

so your take of "they would rahter go bankrupt than doing X" is hyperbolic

ok got it

[royal relic]

why do you think it was so hard to co-stream nintendo's show at this e3?

[proud flicker]

tone on the internet is hard to detect.

[proud flicker]

im taking this "They would rather go bankrupt than see their Mario games playable on PCs" literally

if they are about to go bankrupt and they can get out of it by making mario on pc, they will

that's my point

[faint panther]

We would hate Nintendo a lot less if our western gaming companies were on par with Ninty

[royal relic]

oh i think that - if things were to get really bad for them - they wouldn't stop at nothing to get their profits back

[swift valley]

they're already making bank with the mobile spinoffs no?

[royal relic]

it's not really about "east and west"
it's not an intro to MGS3

it's more like...

[faint panther]

Man, I am waiting for the moment they mess up hard

[proud flicker]

FE Heroes makes tons of money bro

[faint panther]

and their stocks take a hard dive

[royal relic]

nintendo - out of all the publishers out there - profits on nostalgia the most

i mean - just look at their lineup

and people tend to favor them more because... well - because of that nostalgic attachment to their childhood games

but hey - that's just my opinion

and that comes from someone who started with a NES at the age of 3

[proud flicker]

ok boomer

[swift valley]

that's not wrong

[faint panther]

I mean everything else aside from mario and zelda got fked up

look at pokemon

or metroid

[proud flicker]

i mean metroid hasn't had anything new in years

[faint panther]

yeah duh cuz it sucked big time

[proud flicker]

so more like "abandoned" rather than messed up

[royal relic]

it could've
but - you know

they keep firing at all the fan projects with two guns called "cease" and "desist" and a blindfold on

collateral damage be damned

[faint panther]

The right way to kill melee was to spend a little time and effort to optimize their own systems

but nah too much ego

[royal relic]

nah, mate
naaaaah

gotta pay up for that sub on the switch

[proud flicker]

i am so confused with these takes right now.
one side said that Nintendo profits mostly off nostalgia and old franchises
one side said that most old franchises except Mario and Zelda suck ass and got fcked up.

[royal relic]

there's money waiting to be made

[proud flicker]

which is which

[faint panther]

First you gotta buy our console

then 5 dollars per month

and 60 dollars for every entry. pay up

[swift valley]

both? they profit off nostalgia, which is fine if done well but not if quality goes down

[quick cairn]

this is a subjective and downright just impolite phrasing. the game itself doesnt suck. its a perfectly fine game that has a niche fanbase that becaise of that niche fanbase you wont get anything that massive or publicized

[royal relic]

well i'm not saying their franchises suck
all i'm saying is that people put too much faith into nintendo despite all of the crap they tend to pull of on a yearly basis now

[quick cairn]

also dread was like just announced

[proud flicker]

ok fair enough.

[faint panther]

I haven't heard about metroid for the last 10 years

and that e3 a couple of days ago

[royal relic]

they aren't any better than any other company and we shouldn't put a blind eye on their crap because "it's nintendo"

which actually is a response i got a while back when talking about it

[quick cairn]

did you never hear about the metroid prime 4 info?? how they had the game being made and scrapped the whole thing to redo it?

[faint panther]

which will come out in 2 years

The one coming out now is dread which is ori but worse

[quick cairn]

have you played it :/

ori and metroid are 2 different games

and you cant begin to compare 2 games when one isnt even out yet

[faint panther]

metroid should have stayed fps

[proud flicker]

bruh

[royal relic]

"stayed" ?

[faint panther]

2d is ehhh

[proud flicker]

xD

[quick cairn]

it was never originally fps :/ it was 2d to begin with

[royal relic]

you... do realize metroid literally started it's own genre, right?

[quick cairn]

hence the genre having metroid in the nmame

[royal relic]

with 2d, no less

[quick cairn]

metroid and castelvania = metroidvania lol

its a whole ass genre

[royal relic]

yeah

[proud flicker]

really, no way

[faint panther]

yeah and we humans started as apes it doesn't we have to keep living as such

see my point?

We keep progressing

[quick cairn]

the entire "should have kept with fps idea" is subjective

i myself hate fps

[proud flicker]

you are implying that FPS is strictly better than Metroidvania

[royal relic]

but nintendon't

[proud flicker]

which it is not.

[quick cairn]

if i were to play a metriod game it wouldnt be the fps ones

[royal relic]

[proud flicker]

those are two different genre

[faint panther]

understood

[royal relic]

well then there you go @faint panther

you wanted to see a conversation with a lot of people

[quick cairn]

4 isnt that many :/

[proud flicker]

with like 5 people

[royal relic]

but it sure was going fast

[proud flicker]

who post a lot

xD

[quick cairn]

its much more tame then the mh stuff i see and that even has a slowmode timer

[proud flicker]

honest question

which servers actually have 24/7 going chat

[swift valley]

r/FEHeroes

[high coyote]

make it six

I'm back

[faint panther]

I generally want to see an active chat talking about variety of topics

[proud flicker]

there are half a dozen of us

literally

[quick cairn]

ummm afaik slimcicle fan server, mh gathering hall, and like thats kinda it lol

[high coyote]

I think politics can bring a variety of topics, should we start there?

[royal relic]

so next time you want to get a lot of people talking @faint panther
just mention nintendo and they're gonna come back flooding the chat, ready to defend it

[quick cairn]

o-o

[royal relic]

i'm outta here

[high coyote]

Jacksfilms server?

[proud flicker]

how many murican do we have here?

[royal relic]

gonna watch some youtube videos about etika

[high coyote]

defend?
maybe, I dunno

[proud flicker]

im not one

[faint panther]

Not really.

[quick cairn]

any sort of popular content creator/game server has lots of activity

[swift valley]

did anyone actually defend nintendo

[high coyote]

I'm a proud murican

no, that's not right

I'm a murican

[faint panther]

Mauler

[high coyote]

not proud

[swift valley]

achievement unlocked

[proud flicker]

not really? mostly just misinterpretation of what was actually said

you don't have access to this link

[swift valley]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/856169572703928340/856301724586344448/unknown.png

[proud flicker]

achievement still locked

[high coyote]

😔

wait
I got it
I'm gonna talk about the closest thing to politics that isn't politics
pineapple on pizza, does it belong?

[proud flicker]

no if you are murican. yes if you are anything but

[royal relic]

yes - it belongs

[high coyote]

nice

[royal relic]

||in the trash||

[high coyote]

well I wouldn't know, haven't tried it and I'm too scared to

[proud flicker]

it's fine

[swift valley]

I legit didn't know it was controversial until I came to the murica

[mild pelican]

okay, what is good and what is bad about pineapple pizza

[swift valley]

which kind of proves the point lol

the real crime is olives

[royal relic]

oof

that's a big, big oof

[high coyote]

con: pineapple is usually enjoyed cold, so to put it on a hot food would alienate some people
pro: idk man, adds sweetness?

[proud flicker]

it's good, people like saying it's bad because it's a sort of a banwagon thing

[royal relic]

how about the fact that it's got SO MUCH WATER IN IT AND IT MAKES EVERYTHING SOGGY

[high coyote]

or maybe they just don't like it

[royal relic]

and sweet
and sticky

those are... literally the last words i want to use when describing my pizza

[swift valley]

maybe texture??? or the sour-sweet clashing with savory???

[high coyote]

wouldn't the water evaporate in the process of cooking

[royal relic]

there's still some inside

[swift valley]

so much water
but sauce????

[high coyote]

sauce is a thicker substance than water

[royal relic]

have you ever had a pizza with too many toppings?

[high coyote]

I've only eaten pepperoni and cheese pizza my whole life

[swift valley]

actually yes

[royal relic]

yeah it gets soggy

[high coyote]

anything else I give the boot

[swift valley]

that's usually because too much sauce

[royal relic]

it's like a pile of random garbage slapped on top of a wet dough

[proud flicker]

Pineapple pizza is one of the most popular pizza choice in Canada and Australia

[swift valley]

don't add so much...?

[proud flicker]

only in murica it's a conversation topic

because murican cuisine is so bland they need something to look down on

i hope i didn't trigger anyone there

[swift valley]

kek

[royal relic]

saying that pineapple belongs on a pizza is like saying that xcom is a roguelite

[dry stratus]

pineapple pizza is popular here. we seem to enjoy adding fruit to savoury dishes

[royal relic]

in both cases foxhope is wrong

[dry stratus]

once saw a pizza joint advertising their vegan jackfruit pear pizza

[high coyote]

woah woah woah

[proud flicker]

fite me

[high coyote]

woah woah woah

[royal relic]

nah it's cool

right @proud flicker ?

[proud flicker]

it's 90F here

it's not cool

we aren't "fine"

[royal relic]

then get out of that corner

[limber walrus]

olives are good on pizza though : (

[royal relic]

everywhere else should have less than 90 degrees

[royal relic]

yeah

[high coyote]

hot take (a ha ha)
I was taking a walk when it was 92 F outside and I thought it was perfect temperature

[dry stratus]

they're good on a lot of things

[proud flicker]

wrong, standing next to a wall is 180

standing along in open space is 360

get rekt

[limber walrus]

I think standing along in an open space could be 0

[royal relic]

yeah for cooking eggs and bacon

[limber walrus]

standing on top of a pole is 360

[high coyote]

you'd need a lot hotter than 92 to cook Eggs and Bacon

[proud flicker]

yeah, sam i am

[limber walrus]

that's egg and ham

[royal relic]

i dunno - in normal units 92 is almost boiling hot

[high coyote]

92 F

Farenheit

[proud flicker]

F

[royal relic]

F

[proud flicker]

dont copy me

[royal relic]

it's Fs in the chat

[proud flicker]

did i stutter?

[limber walrus]

yes

but that's okay

I still understood

F

[royal relic]

christ almighty what is this conversation?

i'm too tired for this
i'm outta here

[limber walrus]

chaos incarnate

[mild pelican]

we were about pizza

[royal relic]

yall have fun there

[mild pelican]

idk, tomatoes add even more water tbh

like, you pick the slice up and the whole topping just slides down

[proud flicker]

we will once you leave

[royal relic]

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH

that's it
i'm getting me shotgun

[proud flicker]

pizza is practically a salad, it's potato with tomato, cheese.

[high coyote]

potato?

[royal relic]

xcom is a roguelite
pizza is a salad

fox hope coming at us with the hottest of takes

[mild pelican]

potato, pickles, cheese, ketchunaise

he doesn't deserve the good, just night is enough

sweet dreams are made of cheese

[mild pelican]

remember how there were food talks here

[high coyote]

I remember

[severe rune]

when was that

[proud flicker]

Now

Post food pics

[swift valley]

I got my tub of lavender ice cream, life is good

[proud flicker]

i got a nice open face shrimp sandwich

[swift valley]

yum

[mild pelican]

tfw you want icecream, but there is no idea how to wash it before eating

[timid warren]

hey umm i wanna ask is anyone here familiar with
Logarithm
Geometry and system of linear
and quadratic equations?

[proud flicker]

sure what do you need

[upbeat scroll]

argh, math

im glad theres no math in real life that would be horrible

[proud flicker]

yeah. none at all

[upbeat scroll]

I go to the library and move all the math books to the fiction section

[wise wharf]

twitches

I have considered at times that math is collective fiction that happens to work

[proud flicker]

we are the space orc in warhammer 40k

[proud flicker]

and also yes, unironically

[upbeat scroll]

math "works" in that it agrees with itself, most of the time

[proud flicker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQX2HjkcNo

[upbeat scroll]

a whole fictional universe

[wise wharf]

Certain math topics are 'ascended' to real life applications years after they're developed

Some others remain in the sidelines, waiting for anything to notice they are a good description of a thing

[proud flicker]

i do wonder how people lived before newton invented gravity though

must be a real pain being floaty all the time

[wise wharf]

FeelsShadeMan

I think we spooked a boy in the bag guys

[upbeat scroll]

oh i just assumed they dmed foxhope for help

[proud flicker]

nope

[wise wharf]

A while back I stumbled upon a video on the Monster group

Feels almost like a cthulhu-esque entity watching and waiting for someone or something to understand it

[bitter magnet]

I like how the person who asked about the maths stuff just dipped

[timid warren]

owh man thanks, well i need to understand logarithm like i mean really really understand what it is and how to do it because I've been studying it for like a week now and i still know nothing about it

[upbeat scroll]

oh yeah logarithms can kinda hurt your head

the thing to understand is that they're just exponents

[wise wharf]

The opposite, in fact

Maybe exponents are easier to start with. Do you know about them?

I mean. Exponentials

[proud flicker]

sure fam i got ya after dinner (in 30 mins)

foxhope on the case

[wise wharf]

Thanks Fox. I'm not able to do much for now

[swift valley]

if a = b^c, log_b(a) =c

[timid warren]

ah yesh I've been wanting to ask what is ^?

[swift valley]

it's exponent

like, superscript

so say 5^3 = 5 x 5 x 5

in actual writing you'll write 5 and then a superscript 3

[timid warren]

aaaah i see

[swift valley]

in general, a^b means "a multiplied by itself b times

there are cases where b isn't an integer but I don't think you'll need to worry about that

[timid warren]

i didn't understand the like all of it because no teacher ever bother to like explain this little detail, thanks a lot for this

man this is really really helpful

thanks a lot

[swift valley]

Mmm

[swift valley]

most if not all of the properties of logarithms can be derived from this definition

[proud flicker]

@timid warren

Album link: https://imgur.com/a/6Lx9ckg

Good luck. There is even an exercise portion for you to test your brain power. You can do it and ask here before your test or whatever.

Or don't.

[timid warren]

thank you so much

[timid warren]

ah okay! Thank you so much

[bronze lintel]

That is a nice hand writing

[proud flicker]

aw thank you

[bronze lintel]

since I'm out from college I haven't been writing

it's crap now

jk

it has always been very crap

[bitter magnet]

my handwritting looks like ants swatted on the notebook

[timid warren]

okay so i found the answer

[timid warren]

log2 32=4
log10 1000= 3

now i found something

it's the properties

[swift valley]

Check your log2 32 again

[timid warren]

i don't understand the second properties and the rest

owh

[swift valley]

you mean section 7?

do you get the first property?

[timid warren]

2x2=4
4x2=8
8x2=16
16x2= 32

is this correct m

?

[proud flicker]

There are 5 2s

[timid warren]

owh

[proud flicker]

There are 2 2s in 2x2 = 4

[timid warren]

owh i see

[proud flicker]

It should be
1x2
2x2
4x2
...

Start with 1 so you don't confuse yourself.

[timid warren]

hmm yes i do understand it

[swift valley]

I usually count up so I go 2,4,8,16,32

[timid warren]

aaah

[swift valley]

so 5 times

[timid warren]

I didn't count it like that

[swift valley]

the 2nd property is an extension of the first property

if log(a*b) = log(a) + log(b)

Then log(a^2) = log(a*a) = log(a) + log (a) = 2 log(a)

[timid warren]

okay i understand this one

[proud flicker]

Do you want an example?

[timid warren]

yes please

[proud flicker]

Let me see if i can conjure something

One min

[timid warren]

what is log(a*a)?

[swift valley]

log(a x a)

[timid warren]

is it like log(6x6)?

[swift valley]

like multiplication sign

[timid warren]

owh

[swift valley]

yeah sure

[timid warren]

ah i see

thanks

[swift valley]

Log(6x6) = log(6)+log(6)=2 log(6)

= log(6^2),completing the proof

[proud flicker]

Yeah melonade explained that.

Here, try to find log2(4^5) using that property.

What do you think is the answer

[timid warren]

okay

[swift valley]

for the 3rd property, cover up the stuff in the bracket so it's like log_b(X) = a, then rewrite X in terms of b and a without using log

[proud flicker]

The "exercises" I have combine some of those properties

[timid warren]

is it like, log2(4^5)= log(4) + log(5) ?

[proud flicker]

No. log2(4*5) = log2(4) + log2(5)

But we are talking 4^5, not 4*5

Remember you can write 4^5 as 4x4x4x4x4

[timid warren]

oh! okay i get it

4 8 32 128 512

i think the answer is log4 512= 5

is this correct?

[proud flicker]

close

it's 10, actually

i see what you did there

you are trying to find log4(4^5)

we are talking log2

here is a better way to think about the problem

log2(4^5) = 5 x log2(4)

using second property

now what is log2(4)?

[timid warren]

okay so i think 2x2x2x2 = 16?
is this the right way to solve it?

[proud flicker]

are you trying to find log2(4)?

[timid warren]

uuh i don't know how to find it, using the second properties

[proud flicker]

that's okay :D

how about we slow down a bit.

[timid warren]

ow okay

[proud flicker]

what is log2(16)?

[timid warren]

okay, umm do i solve it like this?
2x2x2x2?

[proud flicker]

YES!

[timid warren]

owh

log2(16)=4?

[proud flicker]

so log2(16) = ?

yup

[timid warren]

Owh

[proud flicker]

what is log4(16)?

[timid warren]

hmm so 4x4=8 8x4=16
is it
log4(16)=2?

.... wait no

[proud flicker]

i can wait :D

[timid warren]

owh okay

wait so if i count it like this
4x4=8, 8x4=32 i would never get it... but if i count it like
4:16=4..?

[proud flicker]

you see, 4x4 is not 8

4x4 is actually 16

so does that help finding out what log4(16) is?

[timid warren]

its 4?

[proud flicker]

how many 4s do you need to multiply together to get 16?

[timid warren]

owh 4x2=8, 4x3=12, 4x4=16?

[proud flicker]

you are confusing multiplication and exponent i think

log4(16) = 2

you need to multiply two 4s together to get 16

[timid warren]

y yeah 😓

[proud flicker]

it happens :D

similarly log5(125) = 3

because 5x5x5 = 125

[timid warren]

wnd this is uuh multiplication?

[proud flicker]

well if you multiply many of the same number, you get exponent

5x5x5 = 5^3

4x4 = 4^2

[timid warren]

oh so that is exponent

[proud flicker]

yes.

[timid warren]

owh

i see

[proud flicker]

if you add many of the same number together, you have multiplication
4+4+4 = 4x3 = 12
if you multiply many of the same number together, you have exponent
4x4x4 = 4^3 = 64

see the difference?

[timid warren]

owh yeah i see

[proud flicker]

now log is like the inverted question of exponent

log2(32) is asking how many 2s do you need to multiply together to get 32

you need five 5s

2x2x2x2x2 = 2^5 = 32

[timid warren]

aah i get it

[proud flicker]

the answer is the exponent, as in the number 5.

yeah

now try this, what is log3(3^69)?

[timid warren]

ah okay i was about to ask this one, so this mean i should find out how many 3s to get 69?

[proud flicker]

no. if i want to ask how many 3s mutiplied together to get 69 i would say
log3(69)

but i am asking log3(3^69)

there is a difference

btw log3(69) is an ugly number that you will need a calculator for. but log3(3^69) is quite nice ;)

[timid warren]

hmm alright i'll be right back I'll try to find it

be right back

[proud flicker]

god i hope someone sees the above joke

[dawn gust]

an actual joke? What even is that?

[proud flicker]

btw log3(69) is an ugly number that you will need a calculator for. but log3(3^69) is quite nice ;)
this.

[dawn gust]

nobody tells jokes that are actually funny

[proud flicker]

damn

got me

[dawn gust]

[timid warren]

....

agh

no success

....

[proud flicker]

so 3^69 means multiplying 69 number 3 together right?

[timid warren]

owh

[proud flicker]

so log3(3^69) is asking how many 3s you need to multiply together to get 3^69

[timid warren]

i thought...
hmm owh

be right back

and if the joke is 69 i huess i gt the joke

[proud flicker]

i mean it is

but do you see the connection?

[timid warren]

i should use this rigt?

[proud flicker]

3^69 is multiplying 69 number 3 together.
so when you take the log of it, it's asking how many 3s to get 3^69.
the answer is simply 69.

[timid warren]

......

owh

[proud flicker]

does that make sense?

[upbeat scroll]

yeah, the threes cancel out

[timid warren]

owh

[proud flicker]

now log3(69) is a lot more difficult to find by hand

because there isn't a whole number of 3s to get to 69

[timid warren]

owh okay hmm

it is difficult to write down too

[proud flicker]

yeah. though if you are taking a test on logarithm and the professor doesn't allow calculator, it's likely to be along the line of log3(3^69)

[timid warren]

owh

okay

hmm can i have a new exercise? so that i can start with learning about the second properties

[proud flicker]

well that was the 2nd property

[timid warren]

.... that was? oh man im so sorry

[proud flicker]

yeah
here is how you can view it

2nd property says logP(M^a) = a logP(M) right?

so log3(3^69) = 69 log3(3)

[timid warren]

owh

[proud flicker]

but log3(3) = 1 because you need one 3 to get 3

so log3(3^69) = 69 x log3(3) = 69 x 1 = 69

[timid warren]

owh i see

[proud flicker]

here is another if you want
log5(25^100)

[timid warren]

oh god

[proud flicker]

same principle

[timid warren]

okay I'll try

[proud flicker]

don't be intimidated

[timid warren]

im overwhelmed but I'll try

[proud flicker]

don't be. you can do it in your head

owh okay

log5(25^100) = 100 x log5(25) =..
am i doing it right?

[proud flicker]

yes!

now can you find log5(25)?

[timid warren]

owh log5(25)= 5?

?

[proud flicker]

you are so close. you know 5x5 = 25

so how many 5s are there?

[timid warren]

there are 5 5s?

10?

[proud flicker]

there are 5 5s that you added together
but there are 2 5s that you multiplied together

5x5

2 5s

like, literally, there are 2 5s in that line

[timid warren]

owh i see

okay

owh

5x5= 25 and theres 2 5s

owh

[proud flicker]

yup

so log5(25) = 2

[timid warren]

owh okay okay i can do this

... now is the 100?

[proud flicker]

so we have log5(25^100) = 100 x log5(25) = 100 x 2 = ?

[timid warren]

owh

hmmm 100x2=... 50?
