On June 10, 2024, we will discontinue integration for X (formerly Twitter) as well as the ability to send friend requests to friends on social media (social media integration) from within the Nintendo Switch friend suggestions feature.
It also implies they're killing Facebook integration too.
While posting screenshots and videos to Facebook will continue to be available, this service may also be discontinued at a later date.
With the following further down
Posting features in the Nintendo Switch title Splatoon 3 will be adjusted.
When posting from the mailbox in Splatsville, Inkopolis Plaza, or Inkopolis Square, you will no longer be able to post to X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook; the data will be sent directly to Nintendo servers.
Guess they donāt want to pay for API integration.
To be fair, why would you wne Xitter is just a toxic cesspool, and Nintendo are determined to keep the family friendly appearance
My goofy ass thought that it was an early sign of the Nintendo Switch dying
Could still be but itās had a hell of a run.
Itās all your fault

Need a null emoji to do whitespace on these connectors


I was confused for a sec as to how that Hundred Heroes game was on their twice. It took a moment to click the left brackets were system designations xD
"Olive oil could reduce the risk of Dementia mortality" hold on, does that mean that when I forgot to sit it wont kill me?
I'll forget how to take a pee but at least i wont be dead?
<@&505995738564526080>
I can't read that, but I am pretty sure that is an ad
Yes
Not sure what I would do with a Disney + account š¤ it is unwatchable for me xD
wae
It streams in too high quality even on the low quality settings for my internet speed :p
It is in a constant state of buffering
Maybe you just need a bigger satellite dish /j
I have glorified dial up :p
But, I have been informed, there is a worse plan than mine offered by my provider xD
I see the /j, but, my service provider actually tried to convince me to do that >.>
You could probably get higher bandwich using pigeons for the packages
That's actually terrible
We don't live in the 80s/90s anymore
This took me a second xD
"It works, so its fine by me"
meanwhile everyone around them is sick of them taking days to download a new game
I got a friend like that
"Oh, there's an update, no playing today, today is update day"
They are losing money having me on the DSL plan. So, they have been trying to get us to switch to a satellite plan from another company they lartnered with. I called that company to have them check if it was viable, and they told me flat out they could NOT provide service in my area. Well, my provider said it was ridiculous and that I would just need a bigger satellite. (Huge commision if they can get me to cancel my DSL account, then a second commission to get a customer to sign up for a new package deal)
F
U
Discord

"Oh no... an update.... Please be small enough for my hotspot, please be small enough for my hotspot...."
If it is: "Woo hoo! Gaming continues!!!"
If it isn't: "Hopefully it can finish on next months hot spot data...."
Sounds like an attempted fraud if they're trying to sell you a service the provider has outright said they can't do
Welcome to ATT
If there's one lesson that my parents have taught me
It's that
Bigger satellite ā better coverage
If you have a McDonalys, Starbucks, or neighbour with open wifi nearby cough https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Cantenna cough
.. McDonalds. WTF is a McDonalys.
I need sleep
I was waiting for an explanation to the McDonalys joke :p
No, I'm just an idiot. š
I sometimes bring my laptop places to update things. Doesn't help for my partners desktop though.
wut?
It also makes playing games on systems pretty hard. When they REQUIRE updates to play the dang game -.-" sometimes I would have to leave the system on over night bc during the day it couldn't maintain the download.
Also, 6mbs is honestly not that bad. I can do a lot on it. It is mainly requirements by games/services that don't allow me to adjust and my data cap that cause the issues.
That's fair
Can you get Starlink at your latitude?
Yes, I can get Starlink, but the huge downpayment and 3 to 6 year wait scared me
My area was down on the list bc there was service in the area
It'd be quicker to get your data by literal carrier pigeon with wait times like that
Yeah, paying up front for the gear is a bit of an initial owie.
I can't remember if the wait was 3 or 6 years or if the down paymwnt was $300 or $600.
I can't remember where the 3 and 6 go in these.
Probably the only way Muskrat's companies are able to stay afloat these days with the spend elsewhere
Honestly either is insane
You buy the equipment yourself. So, I understood the down-payment. My issue with the down-payment was it was non refundable with that long wait
I'd say "Sure, put me on the wait list, but I don't want hardware or to pay until the service can be provided"
I'd love to see what they say if you were to say "Oh forget the monthly billing, I'll probably pay at the end of this or next year, sound good?"
30 day trial (refund period) it that amounts to anything for you.
When I read it, there was a refund period if you didn't like the service, but not for the down payment
Proof? š¤£
So, you would get the installation fee back, the monthly payment back, and anything you paid in that 30 days, but not that huge down payment for the equipment.
I also remember it saying you buy the equipment and that is yours and it is non refundable.
This was over a year ago that I read it, it may have changed
Yeah they change terms on like a daily basis, lol
Antarctica still on the waitlist smh
Isnt starlink destined to die cause SpaceX cant send enough stuff to space
Literally!! Nothing worse than paying for something to never get it
Pretty sure thatās made up.
How is it made up? keeping stuff up in space needs money
Starlink has to replace satellites, what happens when SpaceX isn't there anymore?
The fursona research facility
Literally any internet service provider needs to stay alive to provide serviceā¦.
But you can literally watch their launches deploy starlink satellites on a regular basis
Just saying, spaceX isn't really fullfilling what they considered would be required to make it sustainable
Source
They reuse rockets
They are the source
I mean I know people who have it and it works fine.
That's not, whatsoever, what I was talking about
There is some downtime sure, but itās not some doomed thing, no idea where thatās coming from.
Not really
I'm guessing you're not a fan of thunderfoot
You always get coverage
Usually anything less than 99.9999% uptime is infuriating and it usually less than that, lol
Maybe like 97% anecdotally,
But itās better as the constellation grows.
The Internet is off for 1 minute, what am I going to do if not terminally online
A lot of us rely on it for works so when it goes down at an inopportune time it costs companies a lot of money. š
But thatās a separate discussion.
Skill issue
Just have backups
Thatās not how that works.
I have 3 different ISPs
For the long and short of it, Starlink is fine.
My main internet almost never goes down, but I have 2 other backup connections to use in case I need it and it goes down.
Yeah, it's basically 2 mobile data plans
Itās mainly for underserved areas.
With a portable hotspot
If you have three isps thatās clearly not underserved.
All you need is mobile coverage
Then get out of the bunker
I wish I had a bunker
Just dig a hole
@night plume Are you in North America?
He is, I believe
He could see what Verizon or T-Mobile offer for Home Internet.
Phone land
reads up a little
I have no suggestions for providers there. š¤
But yeah, wireless has reach but it gets spotty out in nowhere.
No other providers in my area besides Hughes Net.
(Hughes Net is a scam)
Tried to do the RV trick of using a phone card thingy (the name escapes me atm) to use the phoen data as internet, but:
Verizon isn't around me, ATT charges a literal arm and a leg for that, and T-Mobile tried very, very hard to offer it for me but there is absolutely no coverage.
I have ATT hotspot on 2 phones that we use for updates/downloads.
I don't online game much so no issues for me. My partner I think just doesn't voice their complaints.
!!!!!!BUT!!!!!!
ATT is currently installing fiber on my street :p was trying to sign up for it yesterday, but the ladies I wanted to speak to were already off work. I want to make sure they get the commission
MY COFFEE CUP IS EMPTY!!!!!!! MASS PANIC!!!!!!!!!!
Fiber is a big deal.
The major wireless carriers did a lot of work with midband 5G so may be worth keeping an eye on, but if you can get fiber thatād be worth it.
It would be very worth it xD the monthly bill at the very least will be much cheaper
My partner did pose an interesting question that I need to get an answer to š¤
How do we hook it up? I have no phone jacks in my house >.> ny current router, the cord is hooked up going out a window outside to the box itself x.x
If itās just FTTN youāll be hooked up the same way.
If the fiber is going all the way to your house theyāll install a bespoke modem into your house that stays with the house.
I just don't want to have a cord out the window anymore xD
Yeah thatās pretty jank.
Often times an installer will just drill a hole through the house.
And itāll just be a normal plugin inside.
Ah o.o good to know when I upgrade this is what will be done.
(Now I jusr need to figure out where I want this drilled >.>)
You can have your phone service come in that way too. Having it go out the window is very strange, lol.
Yoo
Lightning struck an old antenna on the house years ago and fried the 2 phone jacks. Getting it fixed had a huge estimated cost so we just took the phone cord for the router and went out the window directly into the box on the side of the house
Fiber can work a couple of ways.
Fiber to the neighborhood lets them run DSL through the phone lines the rest of the way, but will be immeasurably better than what you have now.
Fiber to the home will have to run to a box mounted inside.
No idea why it striking the antenna took out the phone jacks in particular
Oof, in that case yeah thatāll probably need to get fixed at some point.
Wild
Copper lines, poorly grounded house, poor terminations⦠any number of things
I understand it taking out the phone jacks, it is it taking out only the phone jacks that is confusing. To my knowledge, the antenna wasn't hooked up to anything.
It probably was still hooked up in some way without us realizing, I was about 15 I thinknwhen it happened, don't remember xD
That is concerning.
I remember yelling at my dad for frying the router/modem and the computer a couple of times though. He installed wall lamps all through the house and they had decorative tubes for the cords. One of them was really close to the outlet and he plugged a large multi outlet surge protector in. The cord tube kept the surge protector from plugging in all the way. Every time there was a big storm, you would hear the surge at that outlet. It took child me a little bit to realize the why it was happening.
Still odd to me to this day that he would plug something up like that with his knowledge.
Oh no, janky diy
I refuse to change out or connect anything electrical up in my house bc the wiring scares me :p
I turn off the breaker to part of the house: things still live.
Turn off all breakers: thing still live....
Turn off the connection to the line outside using the ancient box out there: well, it's off finally, but I still don't trust anything bc there is another box >.>
I will restore this broken and yellowed Super Nintedndo Entertainment System (SNES). This moden is the NTSC model for North America. The console is dirty, yellowed and won't play games.
I started with disassembly. The console has special Gamebit screws. Typical screw driver kits won't have a fitting tip and it needs to be bought separately. The...
Think I watched that one.
That could explain a lot.
I was tempted to buy a restored snes, but i have a mint condition PS2 slim that plays the same games (FFVI, Chrono Trigger)
Might need to set aside some funds to get an electrician to look at that before the house burns down.
I bought one of those 3 in one systems. It works great. I keep my SNES in a tupperware box within a tupperware box now with other systems.
Setting aside funds to move instead >.>
Not a bad idea, though you might be stuck having to sell the house to an investor by the sounds of it.
Perfectly fine with that if I'm being honest.
I don't want to put anymore money into the house to make it worth more. The house is still in mine and my siblings names, so by law anything it sells for will be split 3 ways, meaning I will be lucky to break even. An investor would increase my chances of breaking even and would make it where I would have a more relaxed time looking for the house I want to move to. Going through a realtor, I would be at the mercy of when/if the house sells. I want to move to a house that I want, not settle.
Now. If I could only figure out which financial institution has that fancy account so I can take advantage of that super amazing interest rate >.>
Yeah having to put money in is a big deal. The reason I bring that up is that retail buyers generally canāt get a mortgage on a house that has any issues, the lenders just wonāt do it.
Maybe you could wholesale your own house. š
Wholesale? O.o
Better than a part sale
(Completely off topic from discussion, but am relieved x.x have not seen mama shrimp all day and was worried she passed away during the night. She has finally decided to reveal herself)
Har har :p
Was a joke but yeah, the investor world is a strange one.
Basically people go out and find people who are who are willing to sell a property they happen to own (perhaps not a primary residence) for say $200k and immediately sell it to an investor for $250 and pocket $50k.
I figured it was a joke, but it went over my head lol
Basically wholesalers are middle men looking for dirt cheap houses.
The people who keep putting notices in my mailbox, got it
Exactly!
Investors canāt be bothered searching for them so they go to wholesalers
Now that I think of it, it might not be a bad idea, but unless the house is in pretty bad shape it probably isnāt ideal.
The house isn't in bad shape, the problem is the things that need to be fixed/updated are too expensive to do when I wouldn't be getting the full amount for the house.
Yeah, so an investor would have to lowball you to make it work, but retail buyers canāt finance because of the issues.
Perhaps list for people with FHA rehab loans. š
yeah idk
It is in an area fha loans apply and I have put a good amount of work into the house already, it just needs a little more.
There are a few types of FHA loans and rehab is one of them.
A lot of real estate agents donāt like to deal with FHA because itās harder for transactions involving those to close (more stringent assessments).
The message discord deleted before I wrote "F U Discord", it has just appeared for me tk resend it xD

There was a game on our first computer called, "Frog in a Blender"
I think I vaguely recall a flash game of that nature.
my cousin downloaded one of those desktop games where you could smash the desktop or release termites and such
that was pretty dope
Stress Relief
Loved that game
Flame thrower and termites were my favs

Where? I only see Alucard cosmetics o.O
Now that I actually take a moment to look at this, apparently I was lied to.
Lol
flowers
lots of delivery places
Why am I torturing myself playing Warthunder
Good question - why are you? š
That's not a fate I'd wish upon my worst enemy
Because tanks go brrrrrrrr KER POW! tink click click click
And you missed the sound.
(I hear this game as I am trying to go to bed xD I don't have the heart to tell my partner how loud it is xD)
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
wait what the heck. i didnt mean to reply to your message
š
Looks around
You aren't supposed to hear me talking to myself!!!
I think the worst blunder Discord has done to me is when I was having a conversation with someone in pms. We were in call, I was muted and typing, they were talking. Then all of a sudden, they start asking me why I am replying to them in the group channel.
Was very glad our conversation wasn't private. I had to restart discord before I could see the screen change.
That blunder has happened to me 3 times. Twice in call typing in pms and messages go to channels, and once I sent a message in one channel and it went to a completely different channel. Took 3 days before someone in that channel replied asking me "wtf is this supposed to mean?" Wish I could remember the message, all I remember is it was very weird out of context xD
Thought I scared you away for a min o.o
In addition, the brand has also announced the launch of its Nuggs Party Pack, which includes a total of 50 chicken nuggets, that will continue to roll out nationwide.
Omg Hooker wasnāt kidding.
I'm going to go post the app info in another discord
I don't think I've ever had nuggets from Wendy's
Yeah I have no idea either.
Nuggs
That's cheap o.O
I could see that be a promotional coupon when you first download the app.
Posted in 2 discords and in someone's pms
lol Iāve unleashed the scourge
Havenāt been to a Wendyās in a hot minute.
When meals hit that $15+ range there are just other places I much prefer.
I went to them either early last year or the year prior to try out their breakfast. I don't remember the breakfast being bad, but I remember the service making sure to let me know I was not welcome.
Thatāll certainly scare me off too, lol
I remember the frostys being good
Ooh! That's a Wendy's next to the card shop. I've gotten an ice cream dish from there and they discontinued it. So, I have been more recently than I recall.
It was a frosty cookie crumble thing
Iād eat that
I remember it being super cheap for how much I got. It was my treat thing when we would all go play DnD
So for V Rising, Simon Belmont is just in the base game and you don't need to get the DLC in order to face off against him?
One of the two fancy snails in the tank. Rarely ever see it.

Good evening y'all
Morning.
evening, Cynic
Nice! Now get the overclock
One could almost say that SNailed it
Good ebening
Fat Boy is the overclock
Oh-
So it turns out I haven't played DRG in a minute š
I thought this was an ice cream sammich >.>
Mal, are you hungry?
Yes, but My mind went to the Harley Davidson motorcycle and an ice cream sammich. No one just says that for the Harley, so my mind went ice cream o.o
The Fat Boy brand ice cream sammiches are the giant ones
How hungry? š“
I see
Not eat a horse hungry. Just would like dinner hungry
I have a spoonful of sugar
They shut down tango studios and now this?
This really is the age of indie games š
You have all lost the game.
I regret using game pass for the most part
cause when I decide to buy a game that's there I don't like losing the progression
cause I'm buying it with Steam
A gamepass for me loses 80% of its value if owning the game means reset on progression
again, if Microsoft wants to sell games too they can fuck off
It's more about the problem with the game pass, that they don't buy games from the creators much, but the game pass is very cheap for such games
āHey hey hey what I tell you about coming in my shed!ā
I heard that Microsoft had some debt
A gamepass inherently isn't supposed to land every game with its user, the real value per consumer is a fraction of its library, games are not movies and I don't enjoy renting them
and I doubt people ever will
I can rewatch virtually 99% of Netflix, I can replay 10% of the Battlepass
In general, game pass can be used to test whether the game is worth the price or not, but the problem is when you finish playing the game in game pass and there is no point in buying the game.
those are the actual product if you ask me
it isn't good for a comany if they become a staple good product of Battlepass? shouldn't it?
Well, that's their bad for not thinking twice how to sell their game
greedy piglets
both parties can take a hike and be forgotten
Microsoft tried to gain market share by devaluing A HUGE EFTON the value of our videogames
studious bought into something not sustainable and relatively similar to what Uber does, Darwin doing its job
even Epic giving away games like candy isn't devaluing games as much, probably
Do mfs even play Palworld anymore
Yes
Yep
we be waiting for update
imagine not playing palworld 
I'll probably be playing tomorrow so I can read up on stuff and things 
I have all the stuff I need written down now
nice 
I know many people play, heck, a lot in this chat play. I have no idea if mfs play though.
Iāve got to speedrun Bellanoir ultra, so I can start a new run soon
I mean if you say so bro š
The game is still dead
They're gonna drop an update next month
My brain is melted, I give up x.x I'm going home
Still lag with ping 500, server asia
Youre boutta be dead if you donāt SHUT UP stinky
Cringe asf
Why do you think so?
Because the player count???
Yrou'e just a hater tbh
They just want to try to start an argument
True
Player count...
this isnt a mmo, lil fella 
Stop counting players and start being one (as in getting bitches) or something irl
LOL
PocketPair doesn't care if people stopped playing after a while so cry about it, liberal
I'm really excited for the update. I missed exploring new lands
Actually, I'm curious. Do you think that the mushroom dino pal we saw in the teaser can be put in the ranch and drop mushrooms? I think that'd be pretty neat.
HellLOOOOOOO pretty baby ā¤ļøš¦
Player count isn't a supporting argument. For a game to be 'dead', there'd have to be no active development team or updates, no real news about it (I see articles pop up in my feed about the game still), and no active community. Good amount of people are waiting for the update next month.
For an example of a dead game, please refer to: Payday 3, which I didn't even know released until someone mentioned it.
Right now Palworld has more currently active players than Deep Rock Galactic. It doesn't mean much. That's all I gotta say š¤·
It's as shrimple as that
š¦
not reading allat blabbering refusing to believe this game died is wild
get a new bait. this one is too old now 
It must be a boring Thursday
So it seems š
This happens for every game some fucker wants to start telling everyone the game is dead once some people stop playing just to make the players who are currently around feel bad
I can hear this
I read all that. It only took me what, 10? 11 seconds tops
(I also wrote it so it probably doesn't count)
I dunno man, I can still play just fine.
Seems like a skill issue to me
Coworker left before me.
I took another way to beat them out to catch up.
Somehow, I made it out b4 them and I keep looking back for them and they haven't appeared o.o

Believe it or not, abducted
Starting to believe it
"Omg dead game!" provides counterargument "Not reading all that game still dead āļø š¤"
Definitely a troll
Let's not feed him too much, he clearly wants us to be angry lol
I like testing the waters a little bit lmao
Nah I don't think bro needs to eat anymore
I don't feel all that bad tbh
they should make a clown pal that wear a shirt saying 'dead game' 
I think you all are taking him too seriously
Nah make it a costume for the player character š
š
These poor quality bait post have been all the rage even before palworld hit 2m players
I'd wear a dead game palworld shirt all the time
I saw the same bait posts in the Helldivers discord when they were dealing with Sony's situations
It's so overused it's just boring by now

0 creativity
It's never been more over š

"+ 2 weight"
That's what it feels like every time I see stuff like that š
Release me from this cardboard prison
In the meantime
I'm checking out a new survival game called Abiotic Factor
Gives me big Half-Life vibes, I kinda dig it tbh
I saw Abiotic Factor
Looks really fun
I love Half Life so I wanna try it out someday
I got the game recently, hoping to get some gameplay in this weekend when I have the days off
Will let ya know my thoughts, without spoiling anything since it seems very story driven
"I'm with the science team!"
Quit fcking with the microwave!
What is that emoji Caos š
idk what ya talkin about 
If you are unhappy and think this is a dead game, the "Leave Server" option is right there.
Low grade troll is low
"Everyone is 2 mean 2 me š" looking ass emoji š

Squeak
OF COURSE you have an emoji for that too š¤£

He only responded when I talked to em. Very telling!
They liiiike you.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Dead gaem
Finally, someone likes me š
I've been noticed!
I'm sure you taste lovely!
100,000,000 players not playing right now? OMG dead game!!!!
Palworld themed cookies for christmas this year
I WILL make chillet cookies or somethin
I don't know š¤
If you learn how to make food safe silicon moulds they could be yours right now
Hmmm, might be pretty easy š¤
I need to get a house first tho
My brother attempted to make fishing lures with silicone molds; it didn't turn out that well and he didn't keep at it
0_o You know you can buy things like that without owning a house? You don't need an insane lab, literally just a shelf out of the way so you don't put something on it whilst curing š¤£
I don't want complaints from the neighbors about the smell of molten plastic
Yeah I can't imagine silicone would handle fish attacks well
I also don't want to be fined by my apartment complex for doing stuff like that
There also is not a lotta storage space in my apartment for these kinds of things
Honestly cooking is more risky than mixing silicone or resin stuff
Believe me, there is a lot I wanna do, but it takes an investment of time, money, and space, and only one of those things I have a little bit of (time)
Money I need to save for a down payment on a house
Space is definitely lacking in this apartment
Since I do want to get into handmaking stuff like tables and furniture and carving fancy designs, I definitely see resin work in the future
Kill someone and steal the deed to the house or just move in, it works in video games
Get some practice in with little resin kits so you can learn how it behaves, practice making mixes, as the longest part is the 24/48 hour curing time of some things, so playing with it is mostly a waiting game to see if what you did worked
Also isopropyl alcohol at a high percent is amazing for cleaning up any resin mixing pots and stuff
Finally, a reason to don the hood and blades
Indeed, something I'll toy with later on
I don't like jumping headfirst into a hundred different projects otherwise nothing will ever get done š
I can do two things while I'm here in the apartment
I can write!
I just noticed the time.. it's 0120 here.. I need to sleep. š
Night all!
Sleep well
0221 here thinking I should go for a coffee
Can Palworld please release a hotfix that allows for dual mouse and controller inputs? I tried to map an emulated mouse to L2 on my Steam Deck but it fights with the controller.
A lot of games donāt handle controller and mouse simultaneously which messes with these things, yeah.
That might just be a steam deck thing tbh
Post it in #1066919387921137724
Itās actually messes with Wooting keyboards too.
Oh does it? Huh...
Haven't checked that channel in a while, wonder what people are up to
If you bind WASD to thumbstick axis, and if the game doesnāt let you use mouse and controller at the same time, itās suboptimal. š
I just tried it on RDR2 and it works just fine there.
I'm sitting here wondering how you play with a mouse and controller at the same time
I did get it to work in Palworld a while ago, but I reset my config to try to get the game to work at all again, not realizing it was the version of Proton I was using. I guess I'll submit it on their feature request page.
With a device that pretends to have controller sticks.
Just a little bit of that Steam Deck magic. On Steam Deck, you can set gyro activation with a button or even on the touchpads on the sticks and have those either activate or toggle gyro.
The Steam Deck config settings are ridiculously good.
Oh that's interesting. š¤ I was never aware that such features existed
Oh if it was working before then I see why youāre asking for a fix. Proton is not formally supported but perhaps #bugs-feedback-cheat-form is still more appropriate
Setting mouse to gyro emulates the experience of gyro aim on Nintendo devices.
While it was working, I set R2 trigger soft pull to mouse so that I could use my gyro to aim while holding a sphere. It's crazy intuitive.
Thanks, I'll do that.
Interesting. I'm not gonna lie I had to look some of this stuff up because when it comes to technicals and computers, my brain is pretty small
I'm glad Palworld at least works for me again.
That's certainly a good thing though. Glad they addressed some of the more major issues before their upcoming patch next month
I know our xbox friends were struggling for a while x.x
I was really confused when I loaded up Palworld and the controls complete stopped working. If you're on Steam Deck, don't use GEProton8-32.
Stock Proton seems to be what works right now.
whats a GEProton8-32?
sounds like a future proton gun
It's a custom build of proton, which basically allows a person who uses linux to play windows games through steam
iirc the steam deck uses linux as its OS
Someone more technologically inclined than me can correct me if I'm wrong š
News on what the UK government response means on the issue of game destruction by publishers! It's not all awful, just most of it! Also, some news on how the campaign to end game destruction is going internationally. Relevant links below:

Honestly, modern AAA is just dead.
I'll actually be surprised if GTA6 and TES6 are as good as I'm hoping they are.
Agreed. I said a while ago that the age of Indie games is on the rise because AAA execs and suits just keep making poor decisions
Be valve
Do nothing while watching your competition constantly shoot themselves in the foot
Still the biggest game company in the world
What kind of strategy is this?
That doesnāt like, automatically download or anything right
(I play on steam deck)
True, but I have it in case some games don't work well, and I like to use it on games that aren't totally verified.
The sensible one. The suits at valve almost never get between the players and their games
(At least as far as I've seen)
If the Steam Deck 2 is fast enough for PS4 emulation/compatibility layer, then we'll never need a stronger piece of PC hardware because all of the super demanding games are shit.
This too. The "super demanding" games tend to be the AAA releases in recent times that are sub-par at best
Blah, I don't wanna wErk tomorrow
The last demanding games I was really interested in were Hogwarts, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Palworld, Dead Space, and RE4R. Like, 6 games in the last 3 years.
I would buy a Steam Deck 2 for GTA6 and TES6, TES6 especially, but my hopes aren't very high. Rockstar has been pretty shitty lately and Microsoft has been even worse.
I mean for those, I would say hold off and wait for reviews
I made the mistake of buying assassin's creed games when they came out just to be disappointed
I bought the Rebel Collection bundle on Switch. I didn't know the second game wasn't on cart and I didn't understand the hype behind Black Flag. š
Black flag is amazing as a pirate game
Definitely my favorite pirate game out of the ones that I have played
Loved the ship battles for sure
I thought it felt super clunky, so I didn't play it for long.
Man, I feel like a grey beard engie now that I have mini nukes
Here's your sequel. 
https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/frustrated-fallout-76-players-plan-to-keep-nuking-phil-spencers-camp/
What's he gonna do? Close down their most profitable studio? 
And this is why I hope PocketPair stay far away from MS. 
to be fair, if they had a more diversified revenue stream from Palworld it could be a good game pass addition just as a way to keep retention high and boost the other revenue streams
but that's a lotta math
Palworld can be selling a ton of stuff they're not right now
I always wondered in these cases how many trips people in charge of talking about these things can make in a month
30?
as in either driving for more than 5 hours or taking a plane
when palworld launched they made so much money. too much they dont really need more i think?
I'm honestly pretty happy that the devs aren't trying to nickel-and-dime us. fr fr
It's another reason why I love the game.
That's like saying someone got a job, got a really good tip their first day, now they don't really need more money.
a tip?
it was a lil bit more than a tip
Do good service, get a monetary tip.
They have to pay bills, employees, there is upkeep
Wouldnāt go that far, but I would love to get a shirt, a figurine, or a plushie of a Pal like Digtoise or Jetragon.
I didn't quite enjoy their mobile game, too grindy
the difficulty curve felt sloppy and wallish
A lot
At the peak of it I was bouncing from meeting to meeting with almost no time to even play games š
sad
I love that type of work, but it's hard to find one where you have agency to fix things and not be stuck in a cycle of endless shitstreams
so far most I've experienced personally is multiple bosses giving multiple orders, sometimes contradicting themselves
but I guess realising to what extent everyone is blatantly incompetent and just makes things harder for everyone is part of the real world
you just have to go high enough to see
This pain is real
Morning guys
Habe you seen alien?
Can i habe hamburger please
I hate hiccups!!!!!!!!!!
My hiccups went away randomly, so that is good.
And the coworker that vanished yesterday, I figured out how xD
Maybe there is a link between the two
How did they?
They parked in the other parking lot, just as I thought
... Today may be a long day. >.>
I just tried to use my sugar spoon to measure the coffee into my cup
Good morning everyone
Morning
Itās friday, long days are not allowed
Fires are not allowed
Everything will be fine and uneventful.
We had a pretty bad storm earlier this morning, it has already been eventful o.o
Ban
To late

You have cursed me into staying over 4 hours š
But we will see. I'll let y'all know later
Jokes on you I am already tempo out of a job
Isnāt gdi a command and conquer?
How you all are happy
I am Derpy Dumud, how could I not be happy? O.o
Nostalgia incoming
How wasnāt very happy when you got yourself stuck yesterday⦠took forever to find you
I played the red alert 2 commander and conquer a lot
We explore, we derp around and find out, we mess up and get into situations we cannot get out of >.>
We get happy after saving xD
It is, hence the logo
Peace through power.
This was suppose to say āhope you all are happyā but Iām leaving it. š
Iām happy out of spite
Everyone always forgets about the Forgotten
Note how the scorpion emoji is facing the correct direction for the brotherhood's logo
Like the fallen ones? Or something else lol
The tiberium infected tribes
https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Forgotten
No biggie š
Yep, different "timeline"
There was the Soviet War timeline when they killed Hitler, and the Tiberium timeline when Tiberium eats us all
Red Alert goes down the Hitler Death line
Is this the game with Tim Curry scenes in it? O.o
Yep, in Red Alert 3
Well
(I think)
Same my uncle used to play it on the computer when I was little and I was always sitting on his lap while he was playing and then the game became a childhood favorite
It's more about some time traveller goes to the past and kills Hitler and that fucks up everything
Einstein IIRC
That's for the 3rd one
My dad got me Tiberium Sun when I was like 11, after he came back from a tour overseas
Bah, it gets confusing when you bring time travel into it so much, my bad
For the 3rd, the soviets are losing and time travel and kill einstein
And that makes Japan join in and fuck everything
Ah, I meant that Einstein's implied to be the Hitler Deleter in RA2
It was some random in the 1st one IIRC
Ah crap, my bad.
RA1 was Einstein deleting Hitler
Bows to his magnificence

And for the 2nd one?
Yeah...but the Yuri was an expansion
IIRC, it's implied that Yuri was puppetering the soviet side the entire time
I heard that in his voice
Lmao

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a real-time strategy video game which was released for Microsoft Windows on October 25...
Intro to RA2
"Red Alert 2 is set in the same alternative history universe as Red Alert in which Adolf Hitler was removed from history. With Hitler gone, the Soviet Union led by Joseph Stalin attempted to conquer Europe but was defeated by the Allied nations and their military destroyed. Fearing that a regime change would cause mass unrest in the Soviet Union, the victorious Allies installed Alexander Romanov, a distant relative of Tsar Nicholas II, as the puppet Soviet Premier. Romanov acquiesces to the Allies' demands at first, though he builds up the Soviet military for "defense purposes" ā a cover for an intended invasion of the United States. The game's story line starts off in 1972, with the United States Armed Forces caught completely off guard by the sudden massive Soviet invasion of the United States, with Soviet aircraft, naval vessels, amphibious forces, and paratroopers coming in on both the East Coast and West Coast and with the majority of Soviet ground forces coming in through Mexico, starting World War III. The U.S. attempts to retaliate with the use of nuclear missiles, but Yuri, leader of the Soviet Psychic Corps and Premier Romanov's top advisor, uses his mind control to manipulate the personnel charged with launching the warheads and leaves them to explode in their silos. Within hours, the U.S. is overrun with Soviet Army troops. The player either takes the role of an American Commander, tasked by General Ben Carville with defending the United States, or a Soviet Commander leading the invasion for Premier Romanov. "
.. Huh, I wonder if Yuri was the alias Kane used in that timeline, using psychic tech instead of tiberium which was the only option available to him...
O.O hungry frog
That look so good in 4K
Kirov Airships & Apocalypse Tanks are the coolest things ever haha
That's probably my fav game intro to this date
I love the game soundtrack
Apocalypse tank was by far my favorite vehicle
Next is the dreadnaught
I just noticed the phone Soviet and Allies use in that must be the exact same one as it has the kink in the line at the same place
Kane shows up in Red Alert...by the way
Aye, in an early briefing if I recall
The ending actually
Which ending
RA1, Soviet Campaign ending
My bad, it's been so long since I pplayed
I do however remember once getting RA1 to work on my phone using Dosbox emulation
Nice
Feel like that would be difficult to play
It was an absolute nightmare, but it was more of a "Can I do it" vs "This is a practical use of my time" š
I played Tiberian Dawn with an N64 controller
Hrm.. I wonder.. I could plug a USBC hub into my current phone and use a keyboard and mouse..
Which is the only 3D remake of the original command and conquer that exists...
Or use a bluetooth one
I remember playing Runescape 3 on a Windows 8 tablet back in 2015, in the middle of the woods on some training exercise, wayyyyy before Runescape mobile was released. It was an ultra-low res, 5 frames per second nightmare, but I played it for a good while out there lol
3D, for the N64.
Gotta grind those levels
Takes one to know one 
Bro I was power levelling in the worst conditions lmfao.
I was also tapping the screen so fast that their anti-cheat got triggered & I was banned cuz they thought I was a bot
I guess Kyran prefers the furry talk
I'm sure that the support ticket explaining "I'm not a bot, I'm doing this" got a few raised eyebrows
thatās when we use the āthis server is so assā one
It was 5 years later when I got that account back, and by then, I didn't even want it anymore
My new main was so much better
That game F'ed me over royally & I still play it lol
... I just rewatched the tim curry "Spaaaaace" bit and his breathing before sounds like the RA theme intro...
Lmao
Red Alert had a pretty bonkers story. And since it's alternate history, and was a major influence on me as a kid, I'm gonna talk about it. Pretty badly.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/AltHistoryHub
I knew I hated EA for a glaring reason, it was because of C&C.
I had forgotten
Never forget
Same, Their treatment of C&C was my first serious "Well you can all go die" to a big company
Me too TBH
I feel dirty now, remembering back when I spent money on Tiberium Twilight
And then playing it and going "WTF!!!!! 𤢠"
Yeah, they did the series and Kane's legacy dirty with that "Ending"
They're actual devils, like actual satan worshipping devil people
"And then aliens happened"
I consider the series ended at Tib Sub and Firestorm personally
I never liked the Scrin (or however you spell that) I felt like they were trying to be like Starcraft 2 with that
Renegade was great, they still have servers and games up apparently for it
Oh wow
I felt it was a missed opportunity to explore the world in more details
Them not allowing the locked out countries to access the game again makes me think they may try the linking thing again in the future.
Or the PSN requirement in the first place means Valve won't budge until Stupid Sony officially agree the game is on sale
Not terribly far fetched but itās a convoluted situation.
https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/149pmxv/is_the_multiplayer_for_cc_renegade_still_active/
There's Renegade X as well but I don't know much about it
I'ma check this out later
I am intrigued
I have the whole collection on a CD cuz I'm old school š„²
And have the cartridge for this (and the rom)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDNkOWCK2Ec
No speedrun version, just for fun.
This is the Nintendo 64 edition of the very first Command & Conquer. You can play it if you follow the steps in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmYrGZMeO6k
Oh wow nice, I wish I had the cartridge for that game
Imma just throw this in here

Hell march is the greatest video game song

I like hell march 2
phail
What even is the music genre of hell march
Oh lol I thought that was in Memes
I'm not paying attention haha
Nah, was my bad, I saw "Media" and went "Yeah that fits" >.>
I met Frank Klepacki live, actually. Didn't get to see his concert, though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJClbTrY0VE
Frank Klepacki is a world renown video game composer and musician, most famous for his Command & Conquer soundtracks. His song āHell Marchā is regarded as one of the top video game themes of all time. The Tiberian Sons are no strangers to MAGFest, specializing in performing their brutally impressive signature arrangements of various video game t...
"A rock tune to marching boots", according to Klepacki himself
"Originally intended for use with the Brotherhood of Nod, it features militaristic samplesāincluding marching, industrial sounds, and a commander shouting orders."
I see
so industrial rock I guess?
That sounds about right to me
It's an Owl
Industrial rock
anyone seen the dune films prior to part 1 and 2?
I played the Dune RTS game back in the early 2000's, never seen the movies
I don't know a lot about Dune but I've been playing a bit of Dune Imperium on Steam. I tried the tabletop version but I just got really confused
omg omg omg they finally released C&C 2 on steam!!
Yes
It's been out for a while. Seems to work fairly well
In terms of older RTSes would also suggest looking into getting Total Annihilation, that's a highly underrated RTS that later spawned Supreme Commander and Planetary Annihilation
Attention furries: https://fxtwitter.com/Mr_Lroach/status/1788501045360124363
damn I have to buy the whole pack in order to play it...
Oh christ
š«„

Yeah you can't buy the C&C games individually. I got 'em when they were all on sale
The main reason no one played Total Annihilation though was 'cause it had the misfortune of being released at the same time as Starcraft
Epic music by Jeremy Soule though (would later do Supreme Commander, Guild Wars 2, War Thunder, and Skyrim)
Only read the book, I think I've seen some film but I don't remember what
I love the intense that cat is
I love GW2 haha
Prob my fav MMO next to Runescape

And it runs on a damn potato
i have a potato
I love rs lol I play it almost daily
it still has a CD drive in it to play dvd
Me too š
I remember in high school I played it on school computers. Wasn't allowed to install anything so I ran the game off a USB drive.
ayo
I'm cutting Willows in OSRS and someone is doing a drop party, but it's all Rune Axes lol
Admittedly itās not as cursed as that Rayman cartoon thatās allegedly official.
I'd still label it as pretty cursed lol
Well yeah but at least itās not uncovered.
If it was I could delete it haha š„²
S C A M
No, go do that on someone else's server
I deleted your first post, this second time is a warning
The fact they literally did that right in front of several online moderators makes me giggle
POV, someoneās account got hacked.
Would the rune axes be worth selling to the npc shops 1 by 1 š¤
I dunno, they're going for like 7k on the GE
So uhā¦
||I will give 50$ to whoever helps me test a game, dm for more infos||
š
Is it $50 per DM?
WTF
I... what the actual fuck?
I censored it because yeahā¦
Terrifying
ikr?
I'll be fair, the uncensored image is pretty tame
The side angle doesnāt let you see ādetailsā but itās still basically a furry laying there
Not sure itās appropriate for here.
I'm more disquietend by why he's doing this, what fucking possible context could it be in, and why is she sucking on a lolipop?
I hate the world sometimes lol
I agree, posting the uncensored one is borderline
To find out how many licks it take to get to the center
Cause to hell with your childhood
My childhood was already a corrupted dumpsterfire, this is just .. bizzare
Some Say 9000 licks, but Here's the real answer. (The meme's old anyways.) I forgot who made the original one, but I added a little DBZ Kai Twist.
The DBZ Kai Footages were owned by Funimation, Toei Animation and Akira Toriyama.
Oh christ I just realised his hair looks like Pyrocynical
Pop back in chat.
Sees "$50 to test my new game"
Then the Rayman image.
Contemplated if worth the $50 b4 finally reading and catching up with context.
50 Pallion Dollar
poor rayman
So.. after digging it looks like this is a show where he is a newscaster in a show called Captain Lazerhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix
https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Rayman_(Captain_Laserhawk:_A_Blood_Dragon_Remix)
The wiki for this is a .. fucking trip
I'm gonna go get a coffee after reading it
BEWARE: UNCENSORED COW BOOTY IN THAT LINK
.. what the fuck has my life come to
I know a Skinwalker when I see one
I wonder if any of my pets are actually Skinwalkers pulling a long-con on me
I think a lot of pets are skinwalkers that had an agenda or plan. But, they began enjoying their life as is and decided to just stick it out as a sort of vacation.
the league addiction has started
I wish they'd let me use their magic at least
The one made back in the 1980s had a great cast, but they ran out of money during production and couldn't finish it properly though it still released in theatres. So glad they decided to remake this as a multipart series. Huge fan of the books
Then, the vacation is over and the human puppet is no longer needed o.o
I will sprinkle the herb Sage on my pets & see how they react
If they're actually cats, I shall sprinkle the herb Catnip on them
My cat Nori eats all herbs, especially the ones that should harm her >.>
No doubt in my mind she is not actually a cat <.<
Scarlett even stares at her with a "wtf is wrong with you" look verg often
I just wanted to catch up on conversation
Good afternoon y'all
Neither did I
So far this friday we were exposed to multiple atrocities
Alhamdolilah
ā¦
Namely desecrated rayman and chillet
I don't wanna print 141 pages.... But I need to be able to spread this documentation out x.x
QR codes
O.o?
print QR codes and make em use it to access it
Thatās really not an improvement
I was to print it so I can tape sheets together to follow items and mark things up.
I need to revise a thing based off the documentation, but it is all a small bit of info on sheet 1, then it says see sheet 40 something, small bit of info, then see sheet 20 something, small bit of info, see sheet 80 something.
Some of these do this up to 20 times x.x
oh I see
I was trying to mark it off in the editing program I have, but 2 montiors with 4 things open isn't working too well.
It's just... that's a lot of paper x.x
three monitors is clutch
I have to plead a case for a 3rd monitor

I found sooooo many Fiddleheads during a walk with my dog lol
I found a lot of Fiddlehead Ferns while walking through the woods, among other things.
Have you found mongrels, I love morels.
I can't help but think of fallout seeing Mongrels
fiddleheads are good for cookin right?
I was trying to figure out what a mongrel was in the context you put xD
I honestly have no idea what a fiddlehead is other than what little I know of it from Stardew Valley
Yup you just gotta wash them three times at least & cook them, or else you can get sick
I've never had them tbh
(Should we tell them it only corrected 1 instance of the word mongrel in their original post?)

https://youtu.be/KFst6d1-vgU?si=bQTLjuN7R7es9mp-
Part 2, should've edited them to be as one, but oh well












apparently fiddleheads are a pain to prepare cause we don't really know why they're poisonous
They are a pain haha
NGL
some are straight up toxic, some are edible, even edible ones are dangerous
People who grew up eating them are a lot less susceptive to their toxins
interesting
With how they are rolled, I imagine they have a slight film they secrete on them?
technically it's most abundant on the brown bark it has
Yeah they are sometimes covered in a web-like coating
My guess would be the potency of that o.o
to think most of the real world I just know cause of survival crafting games
NGL me too hahaha
Games make me interested in the real world, it gets me researching things & learning stuff
But I'm a bit of a wildman, I once cooked wild mushrooms on a hot rock
Dwarf fortress taught me all I know about minerals
Things like, where does lead come from? it comes from melting silver, that's why the Romans had ton of it laying around for plumbing and whatnot
I love learning something in a game or show, researching it, and trying it.
Heck, I learned honey is great for tenderizing meats from anime xD I never knew it had that property.
Found some new cleaning methods from Way of the Househusband (great anime for when you want something to just relax and laugh at not binge).
Learned how metals were done bc of Runescape xD
All I can remember at this moment >.>
Now that I think of it, I think Runescape is why I love cutting gems xD
anyone know what Lignite or Bituminous is??
Runescape taught me a lot NGL
Lignite is the worst form of coal
smart guy
I pick the secret box (there's no other option)
Bituminous is the very pretty silverish metal/crystal that grows squarish and shimmers like oil in water doesn't it?
good mornin frens
tbf I couldn't tell you how it looks like
I lagged out o.o
Bitumen is just like tar, or a hydrocarbon
I was thinking bismuth
"Adamantine, raw
Aluminum, native

Who said games aren't education tools
First time I saw that list of minerals I thought for sure the names were made up, little did I know
Games are educational if you also have a thirst for knowledge
Well, some games
I don't think you're gonna learn any life lessons from Postal games
fair
