Trepang2 Discord is getting angry Russians making death threats toward the devs

[lament zealot]

Why tho

[azure badger]

Why

[lament zealot]

Is the dev a ukuck or something

[azure badger]

:crub:

[lusty onyx]

steam blocked the game from russia and they are getting angry for not being able to buy the game (steam, not the devs or publisher)

[lament zealot]

wack

I wonder why

Is this a part of a broader move steam has made or what

[tiny dew]

Link me the address to join for the gossip

[tiny dew]

@coarse rapids Trepang Discord isn't as sheikhole as succ said

At least General lobby seems calm

I like what I seen from the combat

[coarse rapids]

I keep myself on the offtop channels and its chill if you don't talk to jivy

[tiny dew]

Though... the story seems to be only a filler

[lament zealot]

Trepang gameplay seems repetitive

[tiny dew]

Combat seems wicked

[lament zealot]

It’ll be fun but I don’t think it’ll be anything remarkable

[tiny dew]

Rest seems... Yay or nay

[lament zealot]

I didn’t see really any new mechanics in the trailer as opposed to the demo

[tiny dew]

Did they do the slow-mo kick takedowns?

I haven't seen the launch trailer yet

I liked kicking the Armacham chads in the nuts then nailing their heads to the wall

Prolly the thing I did most in FEAR, lmao

FEAR GANG!

Your goal is to "Aight" yourself?

Sorry i meant

[lusty onyx]

outside of trepang-general ofc (peace and quiet)

[tiny dew]

I was worried for a second, brother

@lusty onyx People Trepangin'

[atomic lynx]

I didnt even notice Trepang2 was out

Was playing Turbo Overkill

lemme check the price

Shid

thats half a grand for me

[granite tangle]

how much is that in euros

[lusty onyx]

19.43

[candid cloud]

The discussion is about: "What's up with the prices?"
And next line is: "Devs, are your mother alive?"
Literally a common sentence from ru player.

[lament zealot]

How much is that in ameribux

[atomic lynx]

According devs, 29.99

[candid cloud]

If they don't like something, they just go and tell bad things about your ma.

[lament zealot]

Damn, I wouldn’t pay more than 15 or 20 tbh

[atomic lynx]

but regional pricing is 21.36

[lament zealot]

That’s why yo shoes raggedy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JStAYvbeSHc Mario has taken soo many shrooms this time

[tiny dew]

Ya Trepang combat is what I expected, nasty intercom screaming fast-paced madness

[atomic lynx]

You bought it?

I wish i could. Its half a grand for me

[tiny dew]

Nah I'm watching dudes streaming it in their Discord

I'm saving all my cash for STALKER 2 and nothing but ЖДАЛКЕР 2

[atomic lynx]

I already got STALKER 2

Ultimate edition infact

[tiny dew]

I'd have bought Trepang, however deep inside I feel its simply a combat showcase, story seems oof

Much like what happened with TimeShift

You play once and bam, move on, nothing remarkable to keep you coming back, find new ways to play

I didn't see any horror elements whatsoever even in the beginning, what FEAR had like in the first 2 mins

[atomic lynx]

speaking of FEAR

I need to finish it, brb

[tiny dew]

Obviously the main focus of the studio was the combat

And I appreciate them nailing it right

[atomic lynx]

yea, the Demo was filled with combat

[tiny dew]

Not the demo

Actual game, I watched like 25 mins or so

[inland kelp]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nah, authentication pages dont load

No login, no signup, wtf

[tiny dew]

Homophobia, death threats...

Internet scumness basically

[neon vale]

whenever i checked the ru channels they always looked really chill

[neon vale]

are we sure we are not talking about this chat?

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/741153843668058233/1100166720460693594/vietnam_wisconsin_military.mov

[tiny dew]

All the Diablo 4 profit goes there ^

[tiny dew]

I never checked those cuz, why would a foreigner not speaking the language, would go such route?

[neon vale]

i would read some of it sometimes

its fun seeing what other people are talking about in other places

[void kelp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAcYS-_8L2s

[neon vale]

im surprised this channel has never gotten nuked

you would think a gsc member would check in here one day and find out that everything has gone to shit

[void kelp]

would translate RU sometimes in stoc, definitely homophobia and other shit here all the time too, no death threats but also war is dumb and blahblah and also civs are being sanctioned which makes people angry (and more likely to be hostile). also gsc pretty much punished an entire country which has half of its fan base in for like 1 "hacker"

[neon vale]

still sounds better than this chat tbh

ive seen pretty much every rule broken here with no interference from gsc or the mods

[void kelp]

i pinged the mods here once when some bro was spamming n word stuff and got muted

[gray jetty]

gg

[tiny dew]

I pinged mods here about provocateurs... pinged GSC even... nothing was done on time

I feel ya, @void kelp

Easy does it

How do you ban approx 30% of the server membership...

You russian, fella?

[dark inlet]

who played anomaly? did you notice that there kikimora looks too much like a guard from metro 2033, And howls the same

[inland kelp]

The deer old CSGO players

[neon vale]

i guess the place was just a rallying place for them

kind of like how this chat is a rallying place for the worst people you can meet online

[tiny dew]

Plot twist: There was no hack with latest leak

[dark inlet]

I didn't say that but ok

I'm talking about the stalker mod anomaly there is a mutant just who is straight one to one like from metro 2033

[tiny dew]

Are you talking some Gamma game? The Stalker mod?

[gray jetty]

they see the down side of smashing all the bad actors and some of the innocent as small potatos compared to the effort required to moderate all the offending users

[neon vale]

the people in this chat are sometimes very unfun to talk to

myself included

[gray jetty]

true^

sometimes i look at this chat and i just turn the other way

playing fps games with a controller is like trying to win a foot race with in a wheel chair

[neon vale]

i dont really like the company tbh

im here for the fun

[gray jetty]

the company you support or loved is gone

there is someone else living in there skin

let me explain to you what i mean

almost all the orginal dev's of the orginal trilogy have left the company

[void kelp]

based

[gray jetty]

so the quality of stalker 2 is completely a mystery

as this is effectively this studios first game

does that mean the game will be bad

no

[void kelp]

gsc and companies in general aren't the devs (in fact they tend to f over the creative people who drive their sucess) - like how a publisher isn't the author of a book

[gray jetty]

we have seen 30 seconds of gameplay

across every trailer

[tiny dew]

The prophet in Jack spoke!

[gray jetty]

the first gameplay trailer is not real gameplay

[tiny dew]

...if its in playable state

[gray jetty]

yup

[neon vale]

im not trying to be pessimistic, i just dont really care about it

i never even knew S2 was still in development until i joined here

[gray jetty]

Let me put it this way

I want the game to be good

but i have seen nothing so far that would convince me that it will be

[neon vale]

heres to hoping ig

[gray jetty]

why would i mindless put my faith and money into something i have no idea is gonna be good

[neon vale]

i guess

[gray jetty]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

if the game is just god awful bad thats just what it is

because ru hackers have repeatedly threatened GSC

since they decided not to sell the game in russia

i mean

hate me for this all you want

i personally hold no grudge against any russians

some of the best people ive ever done business with are russians

same goes to ukrainians

[tiny dew]

I have to bookmark this comment of yours in case, so much truth in one sentence it's TOO MUCH MAN

[neon vale]

i dont really approve of the chats being cut but i dont really care about it anymore

my main issue with that whole debocle was when #💬┃ua_offtop got flooded with russians and the ukranians decided to speak here instead

that issue has dissipated since then though

[gray jetty]

who knows maybe someday they will drop a 5 minute uninterupted gamepaly trailer

but considering id say we have seen 30 seconds of real in game footage over the span of almost 5 years

im sticking to my guns on this one

they banned the chats after russian hackers leaked a prototype build of stalker 2

after demanding a ransom

[neon vale]

and then ukranian members flooded this channel

yeah

[gray jetty]

apparently the prototype build looks promising so im told

but

[tiny dew]

You still don't realise the May leak didn't involve any hackers

[gray jetty]

it could all be scrapped tomorrow

so

[tiny dew]

Was on GSC things leaked, not any 3rd party

[gray jetty]

something something fabricated naritive

bunch of mods resigned

[tiny dew]

Me? Jack?

You kept saying hackers so I replied why you were wrong

Sorry for any confusion caused

[neon vale]

actually yeah jack what are you talking about

[gray jetty]

yah i forgot about that part my bad

[tiny dew]

Well the truth how May devbuild leak happened is on the internet

[gray jetty]

its out there

and apparently its semi playable

so im told

[tiny dew]

A lot is playable, Jack

[gray jetty]

oh yeh?

[tiny dew]

[void kelp]

am i allowed to say that it wasn't hacked but data mined in a legal sense

[tiny dew]

Yeah

[void kelp]

(also originally found by Americans)

[gray jetty]

i mean we can argue about how the egg got cooked all day but

the end of the day the egg was cooked

and thats that

[neon vale]

true

[gray jetty]

you can't uncook it

[void kelp]

the egg is cooked but you gotta provide the egg my bro, the chicken is a part of this

[neon vale]

the chicken doesnt care about what happens to the egg

(if its not broody)

[gray jetty]

again just general hostility

[void kelp]

mf chickens be nesting with their egg and shi

[neon vale]

both sides hate eachother and one side has the server admins on it

[gray jetty]

its never really stopped since GSC announced the game would not be sold in russia

[tiny dew]

https://tenor.com/view/straight-facts-fact-yes-gif-14429930

[void kelp]

mf the chicken (gsc) gave the egg (build) to anyone who could find it (this is actually like keeping chickens)

whose side are you even on wtf you talking about

[gray jetty]

if you want a detailed account i can't give that cus i wasn't here

i was working

i briefly saw it happening

and thats about it

[tiny dew]

Maybe the devbuild was what we never wanted but had to have along the way

want fire works

NO THERE BANNED

[gray jetty]

want guns yah thats 500 dollars a month please

[tiny dew]

If we folks are collectively banned in few hours, see you in the other Stalker servers

[gray jetty]

we have a berlin in new hampshire

place is a shit hole

[neon vale]

my town used to be a tourist attraction but now its kind of just there
there are potholes in the parking lot of the main gas station

[gray jetty]

my town is a tourest attraction

[neon vale]

we have a town literally called "new berlin"

[gray jetty]

and its almost vacent in the winter

like you might think this place is a ghost town

could walk around for hours and not see a single person

[neon vale]

we also have Rome, Wisconsin

[gray jetty]

berlin new hampshire has like one store in t he entire town that was open when i was there

it was a walmart

[neon vale]

and Brussels, Wisconsin

[gray jetty]

everything else looked condememd

[neon vale]

our state is one of the most german in the US
we inherited the drinking culture

[neon vale]

children as young as 13 can legally drink (with their parents consent)

[gray jetty]

in my state you can uh

buy a 5 room house for a million dollars

😎

[neon vale]

our state is a shithole but i probably wouldnt live anywhere else (at least in the us)

[void kelp]

Same here but there just has to be a parent or adult no need for consent

[covert river]

[neon vale]

without a parent the drinking age is 18-21 here

[gray jetty]

at my old job my boss invited me to his house

and i went to his house on rich people road

and bruh

this dude dead ass had this house like a good 1/4 mile from the water that had only 5 rooms

and was 1.3 million dollars

he lived on a road called granite street

[gray jetty]

uh idk thats like 1/8th a kilometer or something

[gray jetty]

oh yah

its other way around

[void kelp]

do they not have google in your country

[neon vale]

why should he have to google to talk

[gray jetty]

honestly i wonder if the street is called granite street cus all the granite mine owners in the days of old lived on it lol

that was what my town use to be

we had massive granite mines

[void kelp]

Stop talking and post cat memes

[gray jetty]

they were operated by Sweedish imigrants for 75 cents a day

[void kelp]

i hate not metric but cmon, i don't go to a EU chat and be like "convert your system into imperial"

[gray jetty]

😎

[neon vale]

we have a town called mineral point because of the massive miner population that emigrated there
its the same town where "the badger state" shtick came from

[void kelp]

definitely did not say you need to google to speak either

[gray jetty]

hehe

our town has a bunch of fake lakes now

[neon vale]

i wish i knew ukranian

[gray jetty]

that are all old mines

which are ironically insanely dangerous

[neon vale]

we have a few made of old quarries

[gray jetty]

because at the bottom of most of them are just massive rock spikes

[neon vale]

some of them have fish in them

[gray jetty]

yup same

but there still sharp even today

when i was a kid

i cut my self just swimming in them

so many times

[neon vale]

i want to move to alaska and become a mountain man

[gray jetty]

i hate imperial measurement system

it makes me want to die on a regular basis

[neon vale]

i love imperial

[gray jetty]

its like i get some old computer temp sensor thing and it only displays in fehrenhite and im like well this is useless

[void kelp]

imperial is objectively horrendous

[neon vale]

which is why i love imperial

it makes people cock their head to the side and ask you why you use it

[void kelp]

and makes american even stupider because you cant convert shit without a phone.

[gray jetty]

when im at work and working on tools all the japanese parts use metric but then all rest of the tool uses imperial

and im like

bro

[neon vale]

reagan killed the metric movement in the us

[gray jetty]

people always come to me like

ayo bro

[void kelp]

and family farms and much more

[gray jetty]

you got the 3/4/5/6/7mm hex bit

bro

he was the president in the 80s

[neon vale]

that would be funny if he was a medieval king though

[gray jetty]

he was the man who hated the commies

which is why he was based

😎

[neon vale]

he was the trickle down economics guy

and he almost got assasinated because the assasin wanted to impress a little girl

[gray jetty]

there is a commie dude who works another shift

ive never met him

but i fucken hate him

hes the most useless cunt ive ever met

[void kelp]

McCarthyism was pre regan and yeah he started the first chapter of our wonderful paradigm of neoliberal policies

[gray jetty]

they got a whole reddit for it 💀

[neon vale]

hes talking about the subreddit r/antiwork

[void kelp]

wow a whole reddit, you probably read .05% of it and also im sure that reddit is also rere af and not a way to base your ideas about giant swathes of humanity and ideaologies but gl

[gray jetty]

idk

[neon vale]

yup this has turned into talking

rule 8 only really applies to the war in ukraine

its vague

[gray jetty]

it does not apply if im the one enforces it

[void kelp]

going to play op2.2 and talk to sid about communism, he doesn't go on reddit

[neon vale]

most of the rules boil down to "if the mod thinks they should be enforced"

damn jack beat me to it

good night

[gray jetty]

night bud

[neon vale]

gn

gonna eat dinner
finally got the ghost pepper salsa ive been searching for

[gray jetty]

i hope they pay me good money when they ship me off to china to get blown up

[neon vale]

how i feel about cali, new york, and texas

[gray jetty]

i mean i still do business in russia despite the war

im still waiting for the FBI to come knocking

I see you have recived a large volume of strange packages from russia are you perhaps a terrorist

they should

cus the russian market being closed

sucks

you guys got the loot

[neon vale]

out of all places i want to move to
austria, ireland, and taiwan looking mighty tempting right now

[gray jetty]

and i can't easily get any of it

[gray jetty]

we all going to end up in Taiwan sooner or later

hehe

[neon vale]

i should make a fake indian identity and move to the navajo reservation

[gray jetty]

Our modern world will callapse if the red take that island

[neon vale]

russia should get more indians (native americans)

[gray jetty]

I mean think about it like this

If you conqueror land in war it's yours to do with as you please

to the victor go the spoils

[neon vale]

in the us there are two types
there is indian (native american, injun, etc.)
and indian (someone from india)

[gray jetty]

ive never met a native american tbh

there a rare sight where i live

there dying out

50 to 100 years there probably wont be any

[neon vale]

i could probably find one if i search hard enough
wisconsin has a few tiny reservations

[gray jetty]

see the problem is the usa works via who ever speaks the loudest is who reflects on the rest of us

so we look bad because of the vocal minority

[neon vale]

the only (main) thing i see wrong with my own country is the treatment of natives
its not very well taught, but you can see its effects just by the racial makeup of the nation

[gray jetty]

tbh i don't think the usa is nearly as racist as people make it out to be

like people say the usa is racist but

try being white in south africa

💀

[gray jetty]

people there will kill you just cus your white

[neon vale]

natives makeup 0.7% of the population sadly

the rest are from europe, africa, asia, etc.

[gray jetty]

i talk to germans

one of the greatest repair men ive ever met

is a german

dude is a wizard

germans and the japanese go hand in hand

back in the 80s people thought the japanese would take over the world

[neon vale]

not really
germany and its language are mainly idolized by people who love its military history

a LOT of wisconsin is ethnically german though

[gray jetty]

like they envisioned a future in which basically all technology was made and developed in japan lol

and its for good reason back in those days the japanese were cut throat

they would steal any tech that was not naield to the floor

if you released a chip onto the market

almost 100 percent 6 months

the japanese would have cloned it and be selling it at a cheaper price

[late goblet]

please dont

[void kelp]

this is the gsc position on russia?

[late goblet]

you will lag moddb

[gray jetty]

its me stating an unpopular opinion

[void kelp]

ah yes, its cool to oppress people because of war good one

[neon vale]

what

what is that logic what

[void kelp]

conquering a land and do what you please? what do you mean what is the logic

[gray jetty]

I mean in purely literally terms

it makes perfect sense

[void kelp]

literal is a semantic way to make words make sense that doesn't mean its okay

[neon vale]

are you talking about russians oppressing ukranians

[gray jetty]

i mean if we wanna talk about countries that should be

[void kelp]

"If you conqueror land in war it's yours to do with as you please" lol we did that here and killed millions

[gray jetty]

the british isles should just be the scottish isles

[neon vale]

would be more welsh tbh

the scots are from ireland

they just kinda popped into existance

[gray jetty]

its why we both hate the british

Scotland should declare independence then seek eu support for a british invasion

the sequal 500 years in the making

Im a godless man

my only hope is when i get blown up by a land mine

that something is on the other side to greet me

i mean ill give me credit

ill have something to fight for

cus if we lose

the thing i love most in this world will be gone

the united states and Taiwan

pff

our last few presidents have been so bad lmao

they should put me in the white house

they should

[simple sage]

minzzzzzzz has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gray jetty]

tbh putin likely manipluated him

ehhhh

im not saying biden is good lmao

only thing biden has done is spark the chip war

which is great for my employer

and because of that

great for me

the usa is starting a semiconductor manufacturing war

and is trying to bring semi fabs back to the usa

by giving way muliti million dollar grants for companies like TSMC intel samsung etc etc

to build fabs in the us

they are gettting serious the vice president of applied materials got called to the white house

and got a very stern talking to

cus apparently we were selling to companies marketed on the do not sell list

being chinese semi companies directly linked to the CCP

we do

the govoroment

let me put it this way

think of it like selling icbms to a country your at war with

its an example

this is a trade war

those are not semi fabs

no

im not...

its literally a trade war

the government has called it as such

trade war does not mean we kill people

its a war of trade

anyway

basically they want to starve out the CCP

and destroy there ability to make and sell semiconductors

ehhhhhhhhh

you see

if there was a shadow government it would be applied materials

yes

so applied materials is not a company you have likely ever heard of

but

with out them you can not make chips

its literally impossible

we sell and maintain and service the tools required to make chips

oh no my friend

doesn't matter

you can't get semi tools anywhere

not all of them anyway

haha

they wish

TSMC the largest the largest producer of semi conductors in the world how ever much they hate us continues to do business

applied has been doing this for over 40 years

let me put it this way

applied does not directly affect you or me

the product we sell is not meant for consumers

they have price tags measured in millions

per tool

im trying to explain the usa china trade war

but i don't think im getting anywhere

[neon vale]

what is this thing

[gray jetty]

i have no idea

[neon vale]

damn

i thought it was related to computers of some sort

[gray jetty]

i mean it is

the trade war is almost entirely about computers

lol

its about the means to make them

it is

its what it is

https://gyazo.com/63f0a0aadef4d1e8db927e1e45713ba7

its the term for what it is

what are you on about brother

trade wars are a termn used to describe a type of conflict

[neon vale]

i meant the doodad

private companies can not impose tarifs

[gray jetty]

I mean if you wanna talk about how bad the usa is

we have a shooting where at least one person dies on average 2 times a week

i mean if things go south this drama will result me getting drafted

lol

the trade war is not made up bro

the usa is yes

i never said i was in it

i am not a multi billion dollar company

i do not get to take part

the one i work for does not say much your right on that

lol

yah but that has nothing to do with what im talking about

tell that to the government

lol

tell it to china too while your at it

i mean this is happening right now

not 30 years ago

me as it effects the safety of my employment

except chinas tech sucks

lmao

and also most of it is not even theres

um yes

the new all chinese made gpu is not chinese its just a rebranded chip from power vr with there company logo on it

chinese cpus

are at least 15 years behind what curren western chips are capable of

ill order only taiwanese and indian made stuff

[neon vale]

israel also does not look like a bad place for me to move either tbh

only issue is that i do not want to learn hebrew at all

[gray jetty]

but you have to do military service im pretty sure

[neon vale]

oh well

a lot of countries do that

[gray jetty]

that might be only if you move there by claiming your jewish hertiage right to citizenship

[neon vale]

i dont have jewish heritage

[gray jetty]

who cares the people in Palestine

[neon vale]

the jewish are very interesting
ive always been interested by the religion

[gray jetty]

Israel does not lol

[neon vale]

ive always heard that europeans dont like africans

[gray jetty]

my german mate i know doesn't like immigrants imparticular the ones from turkey

[neon vale]

libyan immigrants and such i mean

saw a meme about it earlier

[gray jetty]

yah know what they say

old habbits die hard........

[neon vale]

i mean its like that for every race

the phrase "despite making up 13% of the population" exists
even if it is racist and wrong

i know that many gangs and criminals that are immigrants are usually spawned from inequality

redlining is a good example here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining

its when minority and low income neighborhoods are denied services

[gray jetty]

racism is not as common in the us as you would think and its not as bad either

[neon vale]

sadly there is a lot of racism here

[gray jetty]

if anything people are more racist against white people in the us lol

[neon vale]

you definitely have not been to my town then

[gray jetty]

like you are picked last for basically everything in life if your white in modern america

man was to busy drone striking kids in the middle east

lol

[neon vale]

obama getting elected probably made racism worse

[gray jetty]

you see the problem with it is

the more you talk about

the worse it gets

if you stop talking about racism

it will just go away

[neon vale]

its not something that can be ended by a president or law
the civil war and civil rights movement would have ended racism if that were the case

[gray jetty]

if people don't talk about something they forget about it

the more you talk about it

the more people remember it

[neon vale]

thats wrong

i live in a town rife with it

[gray jetty]

sure its bad but if its not hurting anyone anymore who cares

[neon vale]

it is hurting people though what 💀

if it wasnt a problem it wouldnt be considered a problem

discrimination is entirely by color here
because everyone is considered american

[gray jetty]

if its no longer hurting anyone

[neon vale]

yes it is

[simple sage]

minzzzzzzz has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gray jetty]

ok but thats not what im saying

im saying IF

[neon vale]

oh

[gray jetty]

if it was no longer hurting anyone

why keep talkign about it

you risk repeating the cycle that has already ending

[simple sage]

minzzzzzzz has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[neon vale]

someone i talk to regularly has told me to my face before that slavery has benefitted the black race far more than their current position

[gray jetty]

lmfao

[neon vale]

and hes not some edgy teen
hes 68

[gray jetty]

well that makes sense

hes an old boomer

i just think about it from this perspective would thinking this way about a group of people be good for business

if not

[gray jetty]

we don't do that

if it would

maybe we do

cus generally speaking ill do business with anyone with a pulse if you got something i want

no

im scottish

never been but my dad from there

[whole fractal]

[gray jetty]

this damn company finally shipped my item

i bought 4 months ago

sent them emails being like ayo bro where the hell my package they stopped answer after the first email

no

some usa market place

if they had not mailed it this week

i would have just charged back lol

[neon vale]

the quotes folder has been nice lately

@gray jetty

[gray jetty]

[gray jetty]

but now its mostly cringe

they banned all the based people ages ago

[neon vale]

[gray jetty]

the thing i ordered was this

https://castlemaniagames.com/products/memcard-pro-gc-for-gamecube

[neon vale]

emission pinged mods about it and instead of deleting the images they just deleted evidence that people found the images

[gray jetty]

im what you might call a gamecube enthusiast

im so tempted to get this

like its so nice

allows you to load swiss a gamerom loading software with out using a disk

but also with out removing the optical drive

meaning you can play your games on disk

and also play them via sd card

nah

basically you can load game disk images

from the memory card slot on the console

[void kelp]

Waffling

[gray jetty]

since the memory card slot is only slightly slower than the optical drive

the .iso disk image

of a gamecube disk

it almost works with every game

some games have issues

since some games would stream data at the max possible speed the gamecube could stream at

from the optical drive

and those games struggle to run via the memory card slot

as its slightly slower than the optical drive is

i wish you could get the gamecube to read data off a nas

Im 20

[neon vale]

viktorp schizoposting

[gray jetty]

there is a way around that apparently the gamecube can stream data over its broadband connection but

[void kelp]

Wrong thing

[gray jetty]

i also wanna keep my brandband adapter plug in so

were not using that method

payed good money for that thing

a whole 50 bux!

and i think im old already

[whole fractal]

You're a little younger than me

[gray jetty]

I was gonna say something but

i think i should not say that

lol

if they wanna steal my files thats ok

my most valuable files are my pc edition virtual virtuals games

as they are effectively lost media

ever played the virtual villagers games?

3 of them are on steam

but the last 2 are not

you can not buy them anymore

cus the website you would buy them on is broken

lol

the company is still from what i can tell in business but

there entire website requires adobe flash

and the payment service it would direct you too when buying the games just doesn't work

http://ldw.com/

OH WHAT

they fixed it

by just making all the games free to download

thats awesome

[whole fractal]

Nice

[gray jetty]

Hand built by yours truly

It features the exploding cpus and motherboard combo

[whole fractal]

What is the length of this table?

[void kelp]

Nvm

[gray jetty]

my table right

is a an old esk

with a door screwed to the top of it

with a secondary piece of wood screwed into that

so i can have more length for my second monitor

[whole fractal]

I have old furniture in my room, so I'm going to put new furniture, so I pay attention to the tables.)

[gray jetty]

i just found out i can get my childhood favorite game

for 1 dollar

LETS GO

were playing railroad tycoon 3 baby

or not

it crashes

hecko

[whole fractal]

At the moment I am visiting relatives. I'll come home at the end of next week.

||Russia||, are you?

[gray jetty]

this game has a prmopt

prompt*

warning me that if i want to use AA

I need a gpu with at least 128mb of vram

lmao

mx 2 doesn't have enough vram

it only has 64mb

im a collector

id know

lol

oh yah

i own plenty of video cards

well over 100

from voodoo 2

[gray jetty]

to voodoo 5

got power vr cards

i got matrox cards

i got more geforces than you can shack a stick at

radeons too

[gray jetty]

i mean yah id say that

i even got a few proto types and engineering samples

hehe

ill show you the best one

cus the engineering samples are just retail cards with a special sticker

it has 4 gpus on it

quad napalm vsa100s

well

that is a clone

of a proto type

its russian made actually

the real proto type it's based on is worth like 25k dollars

hence why i don't own one

😎

its very fragile

ill tell you that

its also huge

hence why its so fragile

the pcb could realsitically snap

if you were not careful

way bigger

its longer than a 3090

or even 4090 for that matter

except unlike a 3090 or 4090

all that length is pcb

lol

eh

4090 not even full die

and also there way over built

like the cooler could be like 1/3 smaller

and still cool it just fine

well

unless you overclock

which i mean you bought a 4090

how can you not

thinks got a good 600mhz of oc in it

my 3090 had like 30mhz of oc

😎

or has rather

as i still use it

though im sure it will die someday soon

cus its destine to die

as are all 3090s

the memory runs at like 110c

which while technically with in spec

is not great for longjevity

?

cus the memory runs at 110c

lol

its just how it was designed

nah stock

my rams use to oc

not anymore

im sure due to heat

they use to be able to run a 2.5ghz oc stable

now only 1ghz

3090 ti is much better in that regard

it has single sided and there for actively cooled vram

because it uses 2gb gddr6x chips

12 of them

instead of 24 1gb chips

gddr6x is just hot

but its the best which is why nvidia uses it

all air flow is just for my 3090 lol

my cpu runs on hardline

3090 just gets hot

its a hot card

at 100 percent gaming loads

it will hit like 89c on the core

thats just how it is

the water block id need

is worth 2/3 of the cards resale price on ebay

its simply not worth it

the cards value dropped off hard

its only like 700 bux on ebay

it lost over 70 percent of its value

from when i bought it

im waiting for a 4090 ti to come out

or if it never happens i miget get the 4090 matrix

there is a special water block

for the 3090 that flows water over both sides of the pcb

drops ram temps by like 80c

its mental

well not 80

maybe closer to 6t0

but still

[void kelp]

Any thinks about re 4 og and r that i should know like the red flower hiiden at the begining of the game in og?

[neon vale]

can somebody get wolf to unblock me

[candid cloud]

I doubt.

[neon vale]

im sure if i bug somebody enough it will work

wolf wont even send me messages anymore

i never even realized i leveled up

[candid cloud]

Yeah, with doing that it should work.

NICE

I'll start from Dark Descent and go up towards Bunkah

I love me Penumbra vibes, sir
