Saw what

the GameRant post about the rat rat_lurk

#

I did not see that one, no

#

But GameRant posts about Palworld daily

#

I'm unsure if it's just a bot that scrapes Reddit posts or if the journalists there just really want to write about Palworld

#

but if you Google "GameRant Palworld", you will just find an ocean of posts by them

i actually apeard in a few articles due to my comments on reddit posts so its probbly a bot.

PSA, the rat pal idea started in Offtopic

they should make an article about us, nobility of Palworld to talk about it

#

Cynical ass that I am, I can only imagine a lot of bad actors abusing this, like they did steam Greenlight

tranquil obsidian
#

the current system is being abused too though. you can use alt accounts, download the demo at no cost and leave a review

#

i think the intention is that reviews by all and reviews by people who actually paid for it are separated, sort of like how reviews by people who got the game free are marked as such

small berry
#

I should be able to completely freaking obscure the porn aspect of Steam

#

Oh nvm there's like 6 different types of obscenity I have to tick

#

I wonder if this will actually work now lmao, for some reason I had the "community" ticker unmarked but the store one enabled

#

Shouldn't all 18+ things in steam be an opt in kind of thing instead of an opt out

All I wanna know is, did Offtopic make it possible, besides Bucky

There was a rat cult before launch. Caos started using an endless collection of rat emoji for months

"make it possible" is a bit of a stretch =p bucky right from the very start only promised to ask. there was never a promise it would happen

And it just kind of naturally coalesced

I can't remember what it was about. I just remember blaming him for something and him looking at me wondering why I was blaming him and me having to tell him, "look, why wouldn't I think it was you?"

That's hilarious

#

"Of course it was you, why would I assume otherwise" is a hell of a rep to get

I don't remember him angry

I'd have probably laughed too to be fair

My sister was angry the time I assumed it was her >.>

queen vale

Just that "Well I guess I know what rep I have" 😂

#

Yeah never blame a lady for anything, even if it is their fault

night plume
#

She showed me all the new jewelery she had. I had asked her where it all came from bc I knew full well I wasn't giving ebough allowance for it. She told me "5 finger discount."

So of course I thought she stole the ring when I was told she was in jail 2 days later >.>

#

She told me she couldn't believe I would think she would steal....

queen vale
#

Well yeah because 5 finger discount is stealing why would you assume anything else

#

You were in a no win situation there buddy

#

Don't believe it and she gets mad, believe it she gets mad

night plume
#

To spite me, she wouldn't let me help her with the court appearance....
Her friend stole the ring, it was caught on camera. My sister wasn't anywhere near. The ring cost around $15, was costumr jewelry. My sister had to pay $50 for the "diamond ring" she was charged with taking.
My lawyer even snapped at her for not letting him help her bc it went on her record. The "friend" didn't pay a dime bc she claimed my sister did it and made her keep quiet.

#

I learned about it being on camera.
My sister told me the rest.

I do understand the pic above is a joke, but I am curious of what is being built that .06 degrees is not within tolerance xD

Maybe it's the back piece that's off angle, and they're making a point for using cheap bits of L bracket? 😄

(I know 0.06 is an insanely small number 😉 )

night plume

I hear a lot of yards grab scrap metal to make a lot of those brackets instead of waiting for them to be ordered xD
Guess the newbie needs to readjust their bracket!

queen vale
#

To be fair, depending what it's being used for, a scrap bracket might be fine if it's a "Quick and dirty" type thing for holding up something that's coming down in a few hours / days, doesn't need to take a load and isn't safety critical

honestly if I woke up tomorrow morning and that entire part of the state of california just wasn't there, like it ceased to exist, I wouldn't complain

tranquil obsidian
#

at this point it honestly feels like theyre only striking because they dont know how to write anymore

#

hide the fact youve got writers block and slacking off by pretending to give a shit about smaller artists

teal iron
#

They're striking because they know that the corporate-safe plots and ideas they're being required to write for the shareholders can probably be written by AI

tranquil obsidian
#

plus AI dont go on strike

peak folio
#

Not yet anyway.

tranquil obsidian
#

"what are your demands?"
"more RAM"

teal iron
#

AI don't require "competitive wages" or "benefits"

tranquil obsidian
#

"fair wages"

paid over 1000 times more than half the staff

small berry
#

So the point of this strike is to fight against the thinking machine?

#

Where's the emperor when you need it

tranquil obsidian
#

i think the point is theyve acknowledged theyve lost the ability to write anything good, and rather than quit, they go on strike so they can pretend theyre not just being lazy or creatively bankrupt. the first big strike was literally because they were getting pay cuts following box office disaster after box office disaster

small berry
#

wasn't the first one to get streaming royalties?

tranquil obsidian
#

i think that was an isolated lawsuit? someone sued disney because they agreed to a cut of the box office sales, but then the movie went primarily streaming meaning they got shafted out of what they thought they were getting

peak folio
#

That’s 100% the type of thing they’d pull

small berry
#

I'm pretty sure one of the big writers strikes with actors support was primarily to get streaming revenues to also benefit their contracts

#

ofc people talked about AI and whatnot

Long ago, back when the tv would go out and do this, I would pretend to be watching a hidden show that only I could see >.>
I would panic, laugh, get heated, tell the made up characters I was rooting for them or not to do things. I would always do this around my cousins and my siblings (they are all much younger than me xD). At first, they all would tell me I was messing with them, there was nothing on the tv. After a while, they started believing I could actually see a show and would start asking me for updates on the characters....
It would have been hilarious if I remembered half the characters or stories I created xD But they would come up to me asking if it was a continuation of that one show and I would have to try hard to remember what I had created to not break the joke xD.

I only had issues with that when I had lower quality food. They only seem to eat until their food hits a certain fullness and if the food quality is low, the sanity doesn't get a boost up bc they are eating less.

Diet lover is probably better on the field but then you want other traits out there anyway.

A lot of artists feel their content is being ripped off and emulated by the AI generators, so would take offence at their own content being classed as "AI quality", especially given a lot of it us just prompt manipulations rather than actual artistic intent.. but yeah it's a hot, volatile topic

simply put, the common consensus is that it is an AI that has to "pass" for human art, not the other way around.

crowd control streams can be fun if done right. for example, trying to speedrun palworld, but viewers can pay a dollar to spawn a tocotoco horde around you. CCs are usually done for charity though

If you're a viewer of a stream with monetization the name of the game is pay to LOSE

Still I ain't paying 300 dollars to do nothing in the game

This absolute CLOWN got it wrong

subnote I think you're also supposed to make it like a donation drive like the microtransactions are actually for charity or something

#

But that might just be inferoplus being based

icy pecan

I mean paying 300 for a bunch of tocotoco to come at the player at the most inconvenient time for the player seems funny

#

It’s not something I would pay but for the people that just wanna cause chaos go for it

teal iron
#

I mean it's definitely better entertainment value because like
the point of watching someone stream a game is to watch them grapple with its challenges
So adding more challenge = more entertainment
Taking away challenge by giving items = less entertainment

Yeah that's why you don't usually see "regular pokemon" as a streaming topic they're always doing a challenge of some kind
Because most people who are going to stream are probably good enough at pokemon that it will pose no significant challenge

For those of us who have no context as to what you were talking about
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckmg7ngkgjeo

Matt Dawson badly broke a digit on his right hand during team training in Perth two weeks ago, and recovery from surgery to repair it would have taken months.

So, the 30-year-old decided to have the finger removed from the knuckle up in order to take part in his third Games, shocking his team-mates and coach.

He will take to the field with the Kookaburras as they face Argentina on Saturday, just 16 days after he was injured.

Dawson has told media the break was so bad that he passed out when he saw his finger in the changing room. He thought his Olympic dream was over.

He urgently consulted a plastic surgeon who said that even with surgery to repair the finger - and the long recovery time - it may not regain full function. But if it was amputated, he could be back playing in 10 days.

Despite being warned by his wife not to do anything "rash", Dawson says he made his "informed" decision that same afternoon.

Then again, a power station; most notably the nuclear power plant is a giant stationary steam engine.
One that is attached to an AC current generator.

My urge to subvert this into a conversation about the Hansa intensifies

One reason why I despise populists and see them as a lesser breed.
Nothing but a bunch of peasants who have no fucking clue what they're doing and only serve to cause more trouble.
''We have had enough of experts''. Well I think you need them but since they don't appreciate experts, it gives me a licence to charge them an arm and a leg for even the simplest of tasks.

If something makes me wanna travel around and know more is the Hansa, if one day I come back to life from a lifechanging experience I'm going for it

That's it, I'm creating a youtube channel and financing my travel and recording expenses

to be fair it is a very interesting organization, people should be aware to what extent the people had a voice and the structures of society evolved through them

#

we might not have worker rights as we know them without them

pliant merlin
#

I hazard a guess the middle class were the ones who spearheaded the workers' rights as a concept, the peasants were too busy and impoverished to think of such concepts.

there's not an individual group that does things

#

that's reductionist

Get pushed down to destitution and even a person is reduced to that of a mindless animal.

#

one group doesn't work with another if there's not a win win situation, both fighting for the interests of the collective beyond a class structure

pliant merlin
#

Guess that is one reason why sapience is so rare, the universe is too harsh to allow such thing as intellect to begin with.
And those who arise only destroy themselves by fighting over the morsels that might sustain them for a while.

One of the things that made the Hansa great, each city that agreed to form part of the alliance had to contribute to it, so if at one point the interest of a city didn't align with the alliance in a particular point they could just leave and join back later

pliant merlin
#

That is if the door remains open.

small berry
#

It always will cause the alliance understands that each city and its inhabitants have a need that might not align

#

in time, if it is to be, the interests will align again and everyone will be happy

pliant merlin
#

Only during the precious few good times.

small berry
#

each city knows that and would do the same

I'm going to stop. This shit is getting too heavy and is already beyond my cognitive abilities.

don't mind me I'm just Hansaxplainin'

I am a bit of a loner, so collectivism (even the most primitive, informal and half-arsed forms of it) is a difficult and alien concept for me.

small berry
#

Collectivism is the wrong term if you were to ax me, the phenomenon of people organizing themselves in groups or guilds isn't entirely collectivism imho, more of a tribal/cultural subgroup identity

pliant merlin
#

Co-operation at a more formal setting would have been a better term.

small berry
#

yes, exactly, sweet contractual obligations

pliant merlin
#

Ah, contracts and transactions. Those are easier at least at a surface level.

small berry
#

that is essentially the bread and butter of the middle ages and earlier, some structures were quite developed to allow for it in many instances, which drove the whole of innovation if you ax me

#

without the complex networks and structures traders developed humanity would probably never go past hunter gathering

#

I think I really got a good script laid down for a first episode

#

off the cuff and whatnot

#

intensive agriculture meets intensive herding/livestock, creates roads, making longer distance communication and trade easier, making a semi-globalised network of trade probably fast as heck

#

minus most of Africa cause of some flies and mosquitoes and heat and the Americas cause they far as heck

pliant merlin
#

I hate mosquitoes.
If I see one I go apeshit and terminate them with extreme prejudice.

I like how this discord is for the game but in off topic I see some of the most in depth and intelligent conversations about random shit

how're ya?

Oh boy Bitcoin is about to go ballistic if this keeps up for another week

icy pecan
small berry
#

should touch 71k and correct but it has so much steam it might blow through it and finally reach the banana zone after 4 long years

#

literally bitcoin dominance is 1% away from reaching critical mass

balmy coral
#

I got insane heartburn rn 😔

small berry
#

ngl I feel ya

humble parrot
#

Wait, it's facing the other side

small berry
#

what I know from my previous playthrough is that around 58% Bitcoin dominance it starts to skyrocket on its own, outperforming massively 90% of the market, then once dominance reaches 68% we have officially made it to the banana zone and everything goes wild

#

it's really intriguing why dominance is a reliable metric, but it is, I guess it has to do with money allocations, flows and whatnot
