Google: We try
Actually: they don't
They only filter out adds paid for by their political opponents.

I wish the people who peddle these things had their fingers shut in a Tesla bonnet
At first I was thinking some kind of Tesla coil trap, but then realize “bonnet” is what brits call a vehicle’ hood.
It ain't just the British 😂

It eventually went to an electrified version, but that made no sense to me >.>

I can't send a picture of the sign here so you can't be weird in this channel sorry
Lern 2 Embed, loser
I AM NOT GOING TO POST THE PICTURE IN ANOTHER CHANNEL AND POST A LINK TO IT
Lemme do it then, ya big baby, pm it to me
well if I pm it to you then I'd be able to link it...

but a better solution imo is for you guys to just NOT BE WEIRD
No
Nah just em be weird so we can point and laugh at them
I refuse
My value as a person is increased by making fun of others
So true bestie
At least my silliness isn't in malice.. for now
I sent your silliness to another >.>
It was funny and made me laugh <.< so I shared the laugh
Hee hee ecks dee
I imagine it is happily exploding
Yeee
Forgot what I was trying to catch, but it was early on. I was using a Lamball when I wanted to whittle a pal's health down. I send out Lamball and I start hearing the exploding ticking sound. I panic, wondering where exploding Pals are coming from bc there shouldn't be any in the area to see my low level Lamball about to explode on what I was trying to catch o.o I barely withdrew it in time x.x
Those chickens can blow themselves up too.
I've not had a pal teach itself this before xD it was a new shock for me
I'm still mad that making the beegarde explosion have a base power of 999999 does not, in fact, make it oneshot everything including bosses
mmm crunch chocobars
Those were the bones getting crunched.
I can't believe that mobile game decided to rip off Palworld
There seems to be a lot that rip off Palworld, I occasionally see them posted by people on this server lol
Shameless
Damn ,i din't know Palworld was gonna be rip off.
A testament to how popular it is I suppose 🫠
i feel like a lot of people suddenly got lost with everything chanageing lol
there a lot AI ads in mobile

Hi eeg
Hi ribbon
Bucky doing an IQ reveal?
Hey bucky when do eggs start to taste better? Sunny side or scrambled?
I do sunny side up because I can't flip an egg to save my life 🥲
Lower the heat and let the bottom cook longer
Still gets mangled
You can also do blind folded
You take the heated butter or bacon grease in the pan and spoon it over the sunny side egg
secound pan
Just make sure to use a slotted spatula to take the egg out. Havinf an egg slathered in grease is not the best tasting, so you want to let it drip for a moment b4 putting it on a plate :p
Sometimes my genius is genius
Doubledecker fudge rounds are too much x.x how do people eat these?
is losing to the fudge round
I just fry the egg and put it between two slices of buttered bread and some cheese
I also toast the bread, if you even care
Goodnight everyone, I hope you all have a good day, afternoon or good rest ❤️
Sounds like a skill issue
Toasting the bread for an egg sandwich is an important step
Too much sugar o.o
If you want to protect your own sanity, do yourself a favour and mute “Wukong” on Twitter now.
Not because of the game, it looks pretty great, but because a very tired discourse is about to pop off.
You can unmute it in 72hrs.
Thank me later 🤝

🤔
Confused and curious o.O
Twitter is really touchy when it comes to… things.
I know that much lol
"Wukong" is in many things, but could also be someones name on there o.O
I am curious on what the discourse is bc Bucky posted it and confused bc idk context lol
I THINK it's related to this
I’d advise anyone to hold off on getting Black Myth: Wukong for console next week.
Distribution of review codes was pretty terrible, not one of them was on console and since they’re holding back the Xbox-version because they can’t get it to run properly, I have SERIOUS doubts about performance of the PS5-version as well. #BlackMythWukong #Wukong #reviews
From a "@SimonZijlemans"
Twitter is going to implode because of it
Meanwhile, the thing I'm seeing is "China!"
Xitter's always imploding. If it'd permanantly implode that'd be nice
if it hadn't been for cotton eye joe
And lastly, what Myles posted.
You'd have imploded long time ago?
. . .
Where did he come from
You cannot mention cotton eyed Joe and not expect someone to instantly respond in relation >.>
Not sure where he went either
Where did he go
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Myth:_Wukong
The game is reportedly the first installment in a planned Black Myth series, which will explore different stories in Chinese mythology.[1]
This is probably where the China thing is coming up?
That reminds me, I need to see if they finished the new legend of monkey
🤔
||There wasn't enough girlbosses in it||
||it was canceled twoce bc of twitter claiming white washing x.x||
They finally started making a 3rd season. I am too lazy to look into why it was perma canceled
It was just a really funny take on the typical Journey To the Wesr story. I was enjoying it.
At least Sweet Home is still continuing!
that was a joke
I need to figure out which streaming service to cancel to replace with Netflix for a little bit 🤔

What is he cooking today? O.o
He didna collab with another cooking youtuber that I watch. It was interesting.
bruh
He had sent some cornmeal to the channel, "The Victorian Way"
I don't think I saw the video where he did the recipe he received back.
thanks for reminding me about that SiivaGunner post
It slaps for some reason.
“I’m just kidding, this isn’t a blue balls rip.”
“However, you’re going to wish it was.”
"gender inequality" aka the studio making the game doesn't care about western journalism.
It's almost as if the best games recently haven't been made by triple A studios who are worrying about boogiemen and ghosts
Just make a good game and people will enjoy it
Independent studios are doing a great job imo in showing what games can be
I feel like people who throw tantrums over things being "gender equal" probably isn't the audience that... actually plays the game
But that's just a theory
A game theory
Thanks for reading
estimate about 40 fps based on the benchmark for consoles.
no, that's one of the recent issues from a western POV.
Because it’s fun

It’s not so much boogiemen and ghost, just that they tend to have activists on payroll.
Wat
What does a wukong game gotta do with gender

Stupidity tbh. People making an issue out of nothing.
full series of Lost is now on Netflix Spain, omaegawd

dam, the landscapers took away a cool Custer of mushrooms, it was bright orange and decoloring the mulch around it.
fungus amungus
so are we explaining the wukong thing or just ignoring it
thats why i asked; noone had explained it so i wasnt sure whether noone knew and i should explain, or whether we've decided its taboo and ignore it
i dont even know what a wukong is but if that is the raction best not to talk about it
i was once banned by the autoban thing for "repeatedly targeting a player"
....in a 1v1.
day 1 smash 4(?) was wierd.
Very strange.
Who’s willing to sell their soul for 62¢?
Good evening y'all, hope you guys are doing alright tonight 
heya cynic 
Good evening Caos 
Happy Indonesian Independence day...
Happy 17th of August!
61 cents and you have a deal
62 cents is 62 cents
Evening Cynic
Evening Azzy
Tbf if they want an "inclusive" game they should just make a game for that audience imo
I mean, look at Hazbin Hotel. Just make the characters gay and these people eat it up no matter how poor the writing
And I'm saying this as the B in LGBTQ
I will sell you someone else's soul for 63¢
I can validate this. They are a great broker to go through if you are trying to sell your soul
It's true I also throw in a bonus where for 20¢ + your soul I will give you another soul with either slightly more stamina or slightly more vitality
If only that was good enough for some..
Whiners exist everywhere
It's best to ignore em
You can just have mine, I don't really want it
Activists in the writing team for games tends to ruin the games it becomes a part of. Focusing too much on ideology is a game killer almost 100% of the time. I honestly miss games with stories written because people wanted to tell a story
Not just games. 
Definitely not just games. TV and shows are barely even worth watching now 💀
You're definitely correct
Why I basically only play indie games… I miss when games told interesting story’s not worrying about getting canceled
Ware do I go to post a palworld cosplay
Cosplay is a art form, and a cool one at that
Honestly indie / small projects in general have been better than big studios
Imo
I definitely played it more recently than that.
also, creeper
Awwww maaan
Brooooo young me playing assassin's creed for the first time not knowing what it would turn into 
The first one through Black Flag were straight bangers, one after the other, then the series fell flat on its face
Saddest downgrade I ever did see
awww man, so we back in the mine got our pickaxe swinging side to side, side to side
Glad I'm not the only one who had that as his first thought
dieing inside
I'm doing pretty good, was a pretty long day for me. How are you?
Being frfr for a sec, today sucked. Drank to much Kraft beer last night and have been suffering all day. But rn I’m vibing so not all that bad
Ahhh yee, them hangover days suck after a fun night. Worked with many who suffered the same. Hope you're feeling better now
Taking a break from Palworld. It's great and I want it to succeed, but I'll just wait for future content updates. I do get tempted to go back in and breed Yakumo with perfect passive setups from time to time.
I’m doing great now having another beer
Other than that, I'm fine. I've been playing other games as of late, and I got Just Cause 3 really cheap with all of the DLC. I want to give it a go soon.
Nice nice. I flew solo for four hours of overtime tonight. The guy I was supposed to be with ended up ditching me shortly after the supervisors left. Was interesting being the only maintenance guy on shift for a little while
That’s what you get for drinking beer from a cheese company
Cheese beer. Hmmm...
Good morning everyone, hope you all have a good morning/afternoon or sleep when you turn in 💖🥰
A mistake I will never repeat
Flew? You a pilot?
Nah it's just a figure of speech. I'm a millwright by trade. Work in maintenance
Was the only maintenance guy for the whole plant for a little bit tonight 
Um what happened to some of the community channels in here?
Says no access
These channels will be hidden by default unless you have the correct role (Steam role, Xbox role), so please grab your preferred roles in Channels & Roles .
Did that still not showing the Xbox chat
thats weird
Yeah been in the discord a few months or so and first time it's not showing all the chat channels did the role stuff soon as I joined
the change has recent. i had to reselect steam to view it, but worked fine to me and others aparently
im not experiencing any problems.
purhaps its becuse you have both palworld ja and en
Not sure what is going on
probably discord being goofy
try to remove the role and grab it again and see if works
or maybe just restart discord could do too
i don't see a problem
Displaying the channel depending on the role has been a feature for a long time, but someone probably configured it incorrectly on this server
It seems universal for all my discord groups now which is strange I wonder what I did wrong
Maybe messed with settings
its working fine to everyone else aparently. i wouldnt say thats a server configuration problem
I just read the messages above and I wonder and wonder
🤷♂️
?
nvm
Hmmm it's working now must've been a Internet issue and I was just being dumb lol
nice! 
Good morning
Diabetics should be electrically resistant.
Because they don't have Insulin now, It's all about Insu-later
Morning or afternoon, Nerzul
Just realised that the first Lost episodes are incredibly dumb, just cause they decide to chill right at the first line of beach, not even trying to get away from the sand and get some cover from the sun
they only decide to move inland when they literally run out of water after 5 episodes of constant brutal sun exposure
This is very late to the conversation, but my Discord connection is horrible on phone xD
It took about half an hour after I selected Steam for the channels to reappear for me and idk how much longer for the "no access" to change over :p
Nothing to do with the server itself, seems to just be a some of us issue with Discord we need to wait out :p
Good morning 😋
I'm playing World of Warships, is something wrong with me?
Bad morning😡
I really really really want some spaghetti rn
Can you make me some pls
Thank you sugar
ded chat?
How is everyone doin'?
ngl hoping for blood to rain on monday
It'll be great for the vegetation, I guess.
Stupid dog! Stop eating my crops!
baguete
I love how they keep giving me medals
When I can't carry more medals
The important part is Captain Tin Crusher will not be summarily executed
People still cheating despite them having anticheat.
You say this like anticheats work anymore
we could make it so you have to play the game on a special custom-built computer with 90 billion sensors and verification software and people will still cheat
It’s just worth pointing out cause people keep saying Palworld needs an anticheat.
The servers probably need one
it needs to be harder to cheat than "install cheat mod palworld ez"
Slightly off topic but Whats even funnier is that they followed it up with (I cant paste images so I'll have to transcribe)
"Those who submitted counterfit samples in a recent Order have been reassigned to Chemical Weapon Facilities where they will be given the opportunity to repay their debt to Managed Democracy with strenuous labor
The Orbital Gas Strike strategem will be temporarily be added to all loadouts"

Earthworm Jim is a 1994 run and gun platform game developed by Shiny Entertainment, featuring an earthworm named Jim, who wears a robotic suit and battles the forces of evil. The game was released for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, before being subsequently ported to several other video game consoles.
It was well recei...
You forgot the "Minimum bank balance: £500 Per Month"
by 1080ti do they mean more than 3.5k cores, or more than 11gb vram?
i guess the 5700xt only has 8gb vram
150gb game install.. sickening
average big publisher game
Don't you mean AI definition, 'cause most of it'll be AI-upscaled generic images 😄
Apparently the borderlands movie sucks
yeah, apparently critics gave it a 0% on rotten tomatoes.
im looking forward to seeing it
When you make a video game movie and don't care about the world setting nor the character's personalities, backgrounds, etc, oh and make a movie on a game where you blow things and people up pg13, it isn't going to do well.
When you make a video game movie , it isn't going to do well.
fixed that for you
There was one Mortal Kombat movie that did okay?
idk, the one i saw was bad
mortal kombat is like 10 times Borderlands tho
even if the movie sucks the fanbase will be large enough to want more and disuade some minds as to the risks
The 1995 Mortal Kombat movie
there's been a few I think
I was saying there was "one" Mortal Kombat movie that was okay :p
And that one is it xD
Idk any other good video game to movie, movies xD
I did read that the Birderlands movie was completely reshot in the last 2 weeks bc they wanted the movie to go in a complete opposite direction of the original premise.
that's always a great sign
It was rated R and had a different flow to the story, but they wanted it to be child friendly and it's own thing, and reshot it to make it so.
There is a chance the original footage followed the game and characters semi properly.
But, who the heck decides to put Krieg as a main character and says, "no blood, no killing, no death"???? The ENTIRE premise of that character was feeding people to his axe!
Or Tiny Tina? She is a psycho who blows people up at tea parties and all she does is makes fireworks? (this is from looki g at trailer footage)
honestly it being an absolute mess is the only reason id go and see a borderlands movie adaptation
The movie I wanted to watch today is Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey, but apparently there are enough with the same mindset as me wanting to watch terrible horror movies that you have to pay for it >.>
I also want to watch the Banana Splits movie <.<
I'll watch the Borderlands llmovie through Cinema Sins
(I like my terrible horror and B horror >.>)
i dont get why they waited for it to be out of copyright to make that, a horror version of winnie the poo clearly is transformative satire
Willy's Wonderland is amazing if you are looking for a hilarious horror movie.
Bc Disney would have sued. Only Piglett and Pooh from the book are out of copyright too, which is why they are the only ones shown and shown the way they are.
Disney is as sue happy if not more than Nintendo
like they tried to sue busnesses for being named after norse gods?
and they not as much as nintendo
but mostly cause japanese copyright is a lot stricter than usa
I think Nintendo may be moreso now with how they have ramped up. But, Disney was pretty bad for a while.
nintendo where sueing people for youtube videos about their games a while back
disney mostly just do things like sue hospitals for pictures on their walls
both bad but atleast disney doesnt really go after individuals just organisations
Wasn't there one where they sued a family cause they wanted to bury their son in a Disney themed coffin?
If that's true, they're equally crap
i dont think they sued, i think the family asked and disney said no
Still crap, Sue or not
yeah, but that just sounds like normal corporate bs
the real bad thing about disney isnt the suing its the changes they lobbied for with copywrite law
that and the irony of most of their stuff being based on pubic domain stories
vs nintendo who will lawyer up if you think too hard about backing up your old gameboy cartridges because the batteries are probably going to die soon
but back to videogame adeptations, fallout was good
and theres been a bunch of great anime adaptations of visual novels
vut movies, idk of ove ever seen one that id call good
the live action mario move was great, but i wouldnt call it a good movie
the postal movie was exactly like i thought a movie adaptation of those games would be like, but again, wouldnt call it good
i guess theres an argument that the only good videogame movie adaptation is the pirates of the caribbean films, but they dont have guybrush threepwood in them so i dont count them as monkey island movies, even if they started off that way when the scripts where first being written

But is the Adamantine dragon in the book? It sorely needs a redesign and new stats/powers so I can say to my GM that my Adamantine Dragonborn can do this and have that, rather than be a reskinned Gold Dragonborn. xD It's been too long since the last campaign, I doubt we'll ever get back to finishing it.
Anyway how is everyone doin'?
Buenos dias
thankfully the industry still makes such format of batteries for other devices such as kitchen scales alarm clocks and many more, so ideally backup your saves and not the cartridge itself (equipment is cheaper)
careful, dont want nintendo hearing you talking about backups
idk, they jailed the canadian guy who hacked the switch in the usa, so they are definitely willing to sue people in countries they arent from
i think only like 2 games i extensively used have new batteries
rest seems okay
but i did notice the quality isnt what it used to be
so i buy like a pack of 20ish of various capacity
depending of cartridge voltages
well most storage devices from the 90s are starting to die, storage just isnt built to last for that long
like when in use the battery will slowly charge, but when on shelf if you have a save game check it from time to time for battery capacity
I do have backups in rom format for most of them
wish i could say the same for my atari games
yeah, i just assume anything stored on tape is just gone now
unless its been backed up ofc
were i more conscious early years id have copies
consciousness started in early teens when dad said our stuff is malfunctioning
back when required tools didnt cost an arm and a leg too
but already late

same thing happened to me over the pandemic when i brought a cheap vhs player to play back the old tapes i had stored in a closet
turmed out even tho they where all stored as well as i could reasonably store them, most of them where basically just white noise

How is everyone doin'?
heya Kosh
im ok as usually. but my arm hurts, idk why
how about ya?
Which arm is it? If it's your left one keep an eye on it. I hope you recover soon!
I'm very tired, my dog decided that he wanted to sleep next to me around 1am. He slept fine while all I got was kicked and snored on! xD
it is the left one.. how ya know?
aaaawwn XD poor thing!
Being my age you get to know when something is up. Any changes for the worse especially in yourself, you go see your doctor/ get medical assistance.
Funnily enough after an unsuccessful walk (my uncle was coming back inside as I was taking the dog out) he went to my room
I got a picture of him on my bed!
just made it to work, the plane we're supposed to work on just took off from Newark, so...around 8 hours of doing nothing till it lands here

Anyone got a long podcast hopefully dan carlin to recommend?
something interesting to hear while I literally try to stay sane
You got this!
there's so much background noise I can barely hear most videos

Darn those noisy people!
Booooo
I start my trade classes today, on top of that I got tooken out of my old math class and put in a different one, so I don't even got my favorite teacher no more 😔
Oh dear.. Chris Chan's arrest video from 2021 has been put on Youtube by EWU Bodycam

is it spicy? I dont know anything

You think it'd be an easy choice on who to vote for
But...
Monster hunter tho...

"Are there other physical persons with you"
" Not of this universe"
or not of this dimension I think she says, I stopped halfway cause I need to be at home with something to smoke to truly enjoy that police interaction
O.o
Honestly, yeah don't watch the video at work because you'll be so mentally broken you'll struggle to make the commute home
What happened
What's this dlc about
It lets you reload I guess
Did the original game have expansions? Or are they trying to make new content for a remaster game?
I don't follow persona at all so I'm trying to get a clear picture here
Oof, p3 is a $70 game?
Atlus is getting a bit too comfy...
Mhmm
they charge absurd amounts cause they know most people buy it with discounts
they nasty, they smell

Wait so did p3 originally have expansions?
Or are these expansions like, completely new?
"89% of Devcom speakers believe AAA games don't need additional purchases"
what is pokemon if it costs 180 every release?
you know how in mobile games theyll sell bundles that give you "x900% value" etc but in reality 90% of the bundle is stuff you dont need?
thats basicaly what happened with the dlc here;
they bloated it with a bunch of overpriced BGMs and Cosmetics to push the price up, then included an actual story DLC that people were after
"89% said AAA titles can be financially successful just by being Buy-to-Play."
Ask a company to come up with a DLC model and stick to it for a single game, they're incapable
they're always altering what their DLC has to scam you
i remember when DLC used to be "we finished the game, but its so popular we came back to it to give you more"
now its "here's the stuff we didnt finish in time, pay us extra"
and some stuff modders have done better, but yeah, pay us
charging 20 bucks for some lines of text! Aw yeah!
Every sequel to games from 10 years ago only bring sorrow and depression
cause they're full of this type of stuff we didnt see before
Palworld "More Than Just Pals" DLC coming 2026
And I would be interested bc I don't need that DLC to play or finish the game I already bought >.>
The name scares me though xD
nah, they locking the world tree behind that one
ヽ(‘ヘ´○)ノ
Not gonna lie, I keep forgetting their is a full story to the game other than the one I keep making up o.o
I learn things I didn't realize I was curious to know bc of you o.O
nooo not the egg
I bring eggs for breakfast at work and I find they transport better if I bring them still in the shell and crack them at work. (Too many times the containers magically have opened and spilled on the way to work....)
One day, one of the eggs rolled off the counter. Everyone in the breakroom stopped to make sure I was okay bc my routine was disrupted and a chunk of my breakfast was gone.
(Then a bunch of people came in to witness someone cleaning up after themselves bc no one believes that can be done sighed heavily remembering this part)
I asked a question at work to clarify something.
My work load has increased by a lot o.o
everyones work load has increased a lot, companies do more work with less workers
those workers still get paid the same, everything's lovely
Literally a company I work with is probably handling twice the work as last year, with a few less workers
miracles on the daily
On the bright side I have a lot of time to do the task, so I have that upside from the norm work load issue o.o
I was just not expecting my simple "yes or no" question to turn into "oh, we need to add that, and this" o.o
It's somehow puzzling to me that some companies are seeing they need less workers to do even more jobs but they don't think they should pay those workers more for handling more work
One the bright side, SwissPort as far as I've been told, did give its employees a 250euros bonus per month
which is like a 1/6 increase
I wonder, just like in war thunder forums with weaponry, are we doing the same with worker conditions?
should investigators just be scrolling discord to figure out frauds
One thing is for sure, either we risk getting fired for demanding a bonus or we're gonna be eating horse manure
The secret service should hire me, I get more info on the daily than many departments with dozens of employees, for some reason I've got a face that makes everyone tell me everything
People tell me I have a very trusting face. Don't really know what that means, but people trust me with a lot.
Heck, I've had a woman leave her children with me in an airport. Freaked me and the children out when we realized she was gone xD
Gone gone?
She gifted you some kids or something?
She took the opportunity to go to the restroom and stretch her legs. She came back. But, I was also a child at the time on a school trip xD

I was teaching the kids how to play children's card games while we waited for the plane to board (I had them get their mother's permission). They then called to board and I gathered up my stuff and the kids couldn't find her. My teacher was telling me to hurry up and I told him I couldn't just leave the kids there and they were begging me not to leave them there. She showed up within a couple minutes and apologized, but it dd cause us worry and my teacher was not happy at all.
That mom was having a hard day for sure
What I got from the kids (that O can remember bc this was so long ago): they lived in the US, so she was a single mom in the US. They were going to the UK to visit their dad. I think he worked there, idk further details.
The kids were super well behaved for their ages. Especially on the plane. Only issue I had with them is the little boy didn't understand I wanted him to wipe the cheeto dist off his hands before he touched my cards xD ruined my cards lol.
The kids begged to sit with me on the plane and didn't understand why we couldn't sit next to each other. That entire plane ride I wanted to ask the person next to those kids if I could swap seats with them xD
The people in my class were so boring x.x at least the kids would play cards or have a conversation
oof
I went on that school trip twice. The next year that same teacher embarrassed the carp out of me x.x
We had an odd number of people. My last name being far down in the alphabet, my ticket put me seated with the stranger.
I completely understand the teacher needed to talk to them to make sure they were fine sitting next to me. I was seated next to a Muslim woman. He led the conversation with, "I need to make sure you aren't going to blow up my student" -.-"
Eh what
He thought that was an appropriate joke.
Jesus christ almighty
How can someone with such an absolute lack of social skills be in charge of kids
I think his partner got after him for it, at least I hope that is what that discussion was bc he needed it.
Something similar I was told happened at my work, we have to ask people stuff, our guy saw the passenger had "chinese traits", but born in the US, our guy thought it was the best idea to ask to please say something in Chinese and then argue how someone born in the US should speak Chinese ( just cause he has asian traits)
Met her on the second flight. We had to take a plane from home to another airport, then from their to the UK.
So met her at the other airport.
Think it was 2 years after thar trip I started college. Was buying lunch and a woman asked me if I went to the UK a couple years prior >.> she remembered me and we live in the same city xD
Wha...
You and I meet some people
Yeah, literally that was his big elevator pitch, guy has Chinese in his surname, even if he's born in the US he has to speak Chinese, if he doesn't then that's not normal, right?
That's a fun coincidence, I like when something like that reminds us the earth ain't so big
( even tho it totally is massive)
It was amazing to me that we met somewhere completely different, went to the same place, ultimately to find we live in the same city and go to the same school.
It kind of sucked "why" she so easily remembered me xD
"I see you're a good muslim, please keep my student pure"
Careful, if people don't read from start to finish, y'all could get in trouble
I'm always in trouble.
To be honest, that teacher sounds like an idiot from all you have said
He was a cool teacher, he just didn't realize there are things you shouldn't say or do bc to him words are words.
(now that I type that out, I am laughing bc he was an English teacher)
Oh dear
Stone cold
Never had him as a teacher personally, my French teacher recommended me for the trip. I was sad when he left to go to a different school, but understood why when I got older. (Didn't realize how crappy being a teacher was when I was in school lol)
I mean, it depends on the school, at mine the issue was more that the teachers were crap, most of them, and sadly the ones that were good couldnt handle the class dynamic and kids bullied them
its like you had to be a crap teacher so kids respect you
Ooh, I have a funny one about a kid bully o.o
I'm gonna cook me a steak but go ahead and I'll be readin
There was this one math teacher at my school that almost everyone loved. If you were to take a math class, you wanted THIS teacher. This was the teacher that if you said, "I wann do this job after school, why should I learn this?" He would find a reason why that lesson was important to you.
Well, there was a girl in the class that didn't want to do anything. So every day, she would ask him why she needed to learn what he was teaching. But, she made it very clear to everyone in the class she was doing it to waste time. He would answer her, and she would make up another job, then another, then another. We, the class, would ask her to stop bc he gave us time at the end of class to do homework so we didn't have to do it at home and she didn't care.
One day, he finally snapped. He yelled at her and told her there were so many things he wanted to say to her but couldn't bc she was the student. He went to his desk and pulled out a picture, an old, old, old meme of a little boy flipping people off at a sports game and told her, "this is what I want to say to you."
Appalled, and happy, she got up and told him she was going to the principal and she left. At that moment, he realized he royally screwed up, sat at his desk just defeated before trying to continue the lesson.
Girl came back with the principal, and officials that idk what they were. They asked the class what happened, and we all told them: she was unruly, she kept yelling and disrupting the class, she was asked to leave and stormed out in a rage saying she was going to get the principal.
She was expelled for a few days bc of our testimony. She then transferred out of the class or the school, I just remember she was no longer in the class.
And yes, that is the abridged version. I am horrible at shrtening things
pretty concise
I'm glad that good teacher didnt get into trouble
I wish I had a math teacher like that
only good teachers we had were with english and that's literally what I had the easiest to improve on my own after school
one english teacher tho had a miscarriage cause of stress at school tho, that was kinda huge at the time and kids shrugged it off
That poor teacher....
Schools are literal purgatory
it's not the real world, unspeakable things happen there on the daily
if you're lucky and you get to enjoy school for the most part, appreciate it
I hear so many wish to go back to highschool and I alway reply, "I liked the structure, but I still don't want to go back"
I considered being a teacher a couple times, then I thought back on when I was in school and came to my senses.
as a personal challenge, living with a problematic family, lotsa screams and arguing, I would want to try it
but I know what I'd be facing
I was always confused in highschool as to why PE coaches as teachers got special treatment. Wasn't until after I graduated that I learned it was bc most were afraid to report them.
In my high school, if kids acted out, a lot of the PE coaches would become physical and attack students. There were some coaches that what they did was justified and made sense bc it was for the safety of everyone, but others it looked like they just liked hitting kids.
oof.
I remember our school had like 1 bully, teachers "allowed" it cause his dad died in his arms, it was a bizarre dynamic
for some reason they gave up entirely on controlling him, they were like, nah, he's too much, let him do what he pleases
Ah, so gave up on him instead of found him help.
I know, the kid now as an adult regrets his childhood maybe more than what happened to his dad
It's like, well done teachers, you've doubled his trauma
we all knew why he was doing it, it was pathetic
Basically, they lashed out bc they couldn't cope.
exactly, he hated every second of waking up
did everything in the book someone should stop you from doing when something like that happens to you as a kid
childhood, teenager years, completely deranged syndrome
Guess I'm lucky my brother and I didn't snap.
🤔You did just make me realize that the therapist I spoke to was far too literal xD
I mean, I bet that's standard procedure
I was seeing one when I was overly stressed and had asked if there were any groups I could consult in similar situations. I was a young adult that took custody of my siblings. I just wanted others in a similar situation to talk to, be it single parents, young adults who had kids too young, just others who we could all relate in some way. I think he took it literal and thought I wanted a group of others who took custody of their siblings bc he couldn't think of anything simikar lol.
Woohoo! Work read something! Easy work ahead!
Time for some idiot to click a Phishing email and all their credentials get stolen, 0.5s
happens every day
I know someone who fell for the Nigerian prince email
I've seen it, as well as seen people fall for the dating scams, and pretty much all the other ones 😦
I mean, nowadays passwords are more in the 479 years
I need at least like 9 characters, special character, mayus, minus, numbers
Honestly well implemented (Not SMS based BS) 2 factor helps mitigate some of the risk
But stuff like a good password manager also helps
My granny told me that person in the family needed money to unlock an account. She didn't really understand why the bank needed it or why the money was locked in Nigerian Prince bank. She wnated me to look up where this was.
I called my granny's bank, had my granny authorize me to speak on her behalf and told them, "Please freeze her account, I believe a family member has been involved in a scam and is using my grandmother's banking credentials for the scam."
The family member took a lot out of my granny's account b4 I froze it >.> I explained to my granny what was going on and asked her to please tell me the family member was not stupid enough to send money to the Nigerian Prince.... I was banished from that house for a while for laughing at them.
My granny's money was not recovered bc the family member withdrew it into and placed it into her own account. But hey, I kept her from continuously taking the money. No idea how many times she paid the prince xD
Since I keep killing the chat, all stories I tell are for amusement :p It won't hurt my feelings if convo continues around them xD
You haven't killed the convo, I'm munching food >.>
I killed it earlier and it looked like others were still chatting b4 my block lol.
I just always worry when I do a big post people get silent bc they think they have to respond to it xD
I am very weird and don't mind talking to myself.
There is a discord where I have days worth of of me doing a Pokemon adventure just to summon Pokémon for Pokecord >.>
I even created my own version of Team Rocket (with their own horrible theme song) and would have them come in on occasion
Found it, and saved o.o
Now it is safe to leave that discord later xD
I was chatting with my brutha, that's why I was gone
the stories I'd have to tell if the server allowed certain topics, omaegad
If they wanna read they'll read, some people read it and don't say anything, but you never know who learnt from that
we become smarter by reading peoples stories more than what we can learn in some book
Time for me to kill the chat, Crypto underperforming has me scared for the global markets
why would everything be about to make all time highs and crypto be underperforming AFTER the bitcoin halvening
Miners have been profitable, it just seems like something isn't quite right this summer
Might be the constant threat of nuclear war
Even though I know what a crypto miner is, I still picture tiny dwarves mining the gold out of a circuit board in people's computers and running....
I think everyone agrees that's the right picture
even if not true
tiny dwarves in some mine with motherboards on a rack trying to figure out the secrets of the universe
somehow
The logic goes, after a halving, miners sell stocks cause of their decreased rewards, which pushes the price down, then comes the fed, lowers rates and everything goes boom
but miners have been profitable
we just need the fed to open their mouths and do their damn job
I don't think anything you type about crypto is hard to follow, I believe I am just that disinterested in it that it that when I read what you say about it, my brain feels like it is locking up as if I'm reading a different language o.o
And I feel bad that I'm that disinterested bc you put so much detail that I feel I'd learn a lot from it.
6 or 7 years trying to figure this stuff out, I type it down cause I believe it can help people
it doesn't have to be you
I know, but to me, it is annoying to see a bunch of free knowledge, read it, and not retain a bit of it.
that makes me somehow appreciate the time I spent on it, I wanted to understand some of the macro of finance, it seemed and still is ancient egyptian to me but I can see a chart and read it
It puzzled me so much the whole technical analysis, drawing on a line on paper, I looked at it like a game I wanted to play, so I eventually did, no frustration or procrastinating, as a hobby
visually displaying data, incredible human invention
And it's not astrology, draw on a daily or weekly, even better a monthly chart and what you draw will be seriously useful stuff
most daytraders deal with 1 hour charts, maybe 4 hour charts, some crazy people do technical analysis on charts with shorter timeframes, the larger the timeframe, the more solid every indicator becomes
I'll read this in a bit, I need to go cry. My work just crashed a d reverted back to Friday.... I saved, but that didn't seem to take and there are no autosaves....
https://imgur.com/a/l8i4kX0 An aficionado, managed to spot value areas, incredibly key areas on Bitcoin, stuff that can change peoples lives
it ain't rocket science
everything here was drawn years before and the key areas are just wild, how the price follows these natural ratios, I love it
The X axis is time correct? I don't want to assume the obvious and it not be the obvious
Candle would be tall colorful line?
yeah, we call those candles, they have a wick and a body
Ah, didn't know the term
usually data is displayed in either in linear or candles
There is a broken equation in one of the excels that caused the crash. The error message tells me what sheet, but I don't have that many sheets so I have no idea where the broken equation is.
The Japanese love candles, most of what we know is cause of their experts that have studied it for decades
"An unexpected error has occurred. AutiRecover has been disabked for this session of Excel."
At least now I know why I had no autosaves....
And people in the office wonder why I make my own excels instead of using the ones provided >.>
This makes sense to me. It is following the trend and figuring out when things will rise and fall that baffles me.
it's more a "Where" than a "when"
there's complex patterns that can identify a when, but those are university type of stuff
these are Harmonics
and it's never a 100% it's a 70% probability at most
nothing, as far as I know, can be predicted with a higher accuracy than 70%, in the real world
Unless you have some insider info you shouldn't? XD
technically human intuition is what bridges that 30%
I was meaning like, if you work for a company and knew that company was about to buy a lot from another company making the stocks rise :p
I recently read my work's code of conduct. Had a small section dedicated to that.
insider trading is a serious thing kids, don't do drugs I mean be a politician, I mean do insider trading
XD
I was about to namedrop, decided to just say "politicians"
starts with a P
One thing I've seen, coffee machine chatter isn't illegal
if people above you are talking about stuff you shouldn't hear, who can stop it?
you guys are just waiting to drink a coffee
I've seen this a lot when it comes to journalism tbh, more than I'd like
I listen in on a lot of convos in the breakroom. When people give me looks I flat out tell them, "I'm curious by nature and this is the breakroom"
If it is someone I know, I just tell them "I'm nosy"
A coworker and I realized we have different social groups and use that to piece stories together.
this is how management works in a nutshell
constantly putting together stories from several sides
I would die in management
You need photographic memory or you'll end up screwing up
so freaking demanding in most places
I can't remember the funny story I was able to get the details for, only the one that made me proud of our security, but still had a sad ending
I remember you once told me one of those security stories, can't remember the details
I tell so many stories everywhere I am sure every story I have told here has been at least twice o.o
the more you tell it the more you refine it !
that's why I call myself a crypto evangelist at this point, my stuff is rehearsed and regurgitated
I don't have many stories, I just end up retelling them and depending on who is reading is how I'll write it. All the info is there, I'll just try to make it sound dramatic for a good read if I want to entertain
I honestly find more and more the more I think about my life, we dig so much stuff when people that grew up together gather
I haven't had enough beers with friends is I guess my conclusion
I love sitting with the elderly. They have the best stories. They have hit an age where they no loger feel the need to censor themselves and you learn so much.
Old enough could speak to you for hours, still not so old as to have trouble actually vocalizing it
if they can drink some beers, the better
I stayed over at a friends house long ago and his parents had company over the next morning. I was so excited being offered coffee and to sit on the porch with them. Had to tell my friend I was honestly dissapointed when they woke him up xD
basically everything my cousin told me about her friends and my granma
🤔 You know, I think I just realized why friends stopped inviting me over. I hung out with their grandparents and parents more xD
no cap I always lowkey rather speak with the parents of any of my friends than them
but one or two to be fair, I do know a few inspiring people
Idk why, since I've had memory I've had this "old soul", I can't escape it, freaking girls at my school were afraid of me cause of that, thought I was too much for them was told several times
I felt more comfortable having the friends I enjoyed hanging out with come over to my house.
I had a lot of "friends" as a kid that were kind of assigned to me bc my siblings were friends with one of their siblings or my mom was friends with their parents. I usually hung out with the grandparents or the parent that wasn't a friend of my mom in those cases.
did it end up being a positive?
Hanging out with the adults - yeah, I would get old stories or asked to help doing stuff and learn things. Granted, the kid my age didn't really want me around bc I was boring xD
I understand this to a degree lol.
idk why, after reading these lasts sentences, I feel we have more in common than one would expect from the internet
quite the coincidence
not that I lived exactly what you said, but I can understand them, I think
I have found you interesting to chat with. Sometimes I can't follow the convo xD but eventually there is a break where I realize what the conversation is lol
My thoughts on situations is that people can go through a similar event(s) and come out of it with similar views afterwards, but they may not experience the event(s) the same.
The 2 can understand each other, even though they may not have experienced it the same.
I personally always wanted to do what you did, never quite did it to that extent, but I somehow ended up also being considered boring cause of that shared interest
boring or too serious
too legit, too straight
too good at bed, for some bizarre reason
🤔 Don't remember this conversation xD
I make myself sound cool online :p
never shared it here I think, was "starting" to date a girl, she didnt quite know what she wanted, one of the things she mentioned that worried her was that she wasn't enough for me in bed, fascinating, could be a lie, but alas why say that
idk what she heard but I know people took me for more than what I was for that appearance of being mature
Lol, I was meaning the reply as a joke. Didn't mean to pull the conversation out of you.
it's a fun story to tell, it's either flattering for me or just a quirky story
I think those who look or act more mature than what is considered appropriate for that age are usually singled out in different ways.
I felt that
everyone I knew always saw me as this jesus christ, parents thought I was a madman
still happens to this day, the first part
I walk into a freaking room with a white shirt and people think I'm important, I'm like, bruh, I'm a freaking low ranking soldier
I remember friends telling other friends to stop inviting me to places bc I would give them the excuse that I had responsibilities after school. After a bit, only a few people chatted with me during school because they deemed it pointless to try.
Made school a lot easier too xD most of my friends lived down the road from me bc I was in one of those areas you could walk down the road. We all just chose a house on the weekends and played games lol. Only reason we all didn't talk in school was the older people graduated after my freshman year, and I was in my senior year when the rest joined their freshmen year xD age differences were a pain.
proximity is convenience
I should have dropped 70% of my friends and boosted the remaining 30%
I was too freaking social for my own good
I am the most social anti-social person I know. I make absolutely no sense to myself.
I want to stay indoors, I don't want to be around people, I want to be left alone.
But, the moment I am out and about I'll talk to anyone and everyone xD I know security guards at work by name, I'm a regular at some local places around here bc I talk to all the staff, I chat with just about anyone online xD
But, if you make me go to a party. I become an introvert that can't function socially....
Anything deemed a "social" event, I just shutdown and forget how to socialize x.x
I have forfeited social events, I need to find an emotional tie for that to be possible
no family birthdays, not even my own, if I'm going somewhere it's cause I actually, deeply, inevitably care about you
Last social event I recall going to was for my niece's birthday bc my brother really wanted me there. I had to excuse myself bc I was worried I would cause a scene.
Screw all reasons, screw all norms
I'm there cause I care about X
that helps me a ton.
helps me enjoy it
I was there bc he wanted me there, but his in-laws treated him like garbage. I told him I needed to go if he didn't want me to say something
I see
blood family nowadays is as good as watered down wine
it ends up hurting more than what you get out of it
He is out of that marriage and the couple of in laws that were decent are still in the kid's lives, so it all worked out for the best.
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb"
I think that is how the saying is written?
I love how it is used, shortening it to "blood is thicker than water" meaning family should come first when the original statement is about the bond you build, the family you make should come before "just bc we are related"
I've never been big into sayings, wish I knew more
blood is the conductor for the strongest bonds you can make in your lifetime, that doesn't mean the bond is there from the get go
and that tends to hurt many families
you'll have a generation that literally grew together, followed by a generation of outcasts
literally, what we see in society, we see in our families
goodnight everyone
gnite mr/ms light
if I was a praying man, the thing I'd ask for the most is to allow me to create generational "wealth" in that sense, don't forget why you have what you have and what makes it possible
stuff that parents tell their kids and those to their kids
My family was tight knit for my granny's generation and I am, for lack of better term, the anchor for the grandchildren that made us tight knit.
A lot of stuff happened in our family and I became the outcast. I was told I needed to remedy that and I told the adults(my dad's age group with my granny included in it) "sure, I'll do that." I cut them all out and told all the grandchildren of the family they were still welcome over, my door is always open, and all the others(adults) have been barred, they were no longer family. Those left from my granny's generation cheered and came over as often as they could b4 age made it too hard for them. They were also outcasts in the family.
I wonder how similar everybodies family can be when it comes to that type of generational social tribe dynamics
my cousin for instance was that anchor, the right age to be with the grandkids of the first gen and the second gen
second gen eventually completely broke off
It's the same dynamic at a different scale
there's various reasons for someone to become a generational anchor, but everyone has one
I've met many who have a similar dynamic, and equally as many who don't have it at all. It is interesting.
I became the anchor bc I enjoy cooking XD
many people have tiny families too, I think in large families, like 3+ brothers/sisters with kids, it tends to happen something of the sorts
If there's at least 10 years between each kid, there's a generational gap
Pretty sure I walked by a crazy cat lady at my work
how's there a cat lady at work
They went by b4 I could say anything, but I really, really hope that if I ever cannot smell my cats did something to my clothing, someone tells me so I can go home >.>
I have a mature lady at work that repeatedly keeps telling me I smell freaking awesome
so I guess I'm good on that
she wants the cologne I have for his husband or so she tells me, idk how to take that now that I'm typing it down
The cologne the person keeps spraying to mask that foul dish, I'd like a candle of it
I would take her asking about it as a compliment and a little strange. It is a compliment bc you pick something nice, but a little strange since they don't realize they are asking to have their husband smell like you xD
I freaking knew it, old soul striking me again, just freaking today, what did I tell ya?
Mature lady wanting my cologne for his old husband, jesus christ
I can't escape it, I'm cursed
Not going to lie though, I would be weird and jokingly tell them not to think of me when their husband uses it xD
I've considered going into many rabbit holes, don't tempt me
Oh, brought this up in the breakroom today, I'm not the only one trying to hunt the person down >.> others piped up saying they are looking for them and now the cologne sprayer. Seems the cologne sorayer is spraying it in more areas and it is not appreciated.
It wouldn't be my first time I make someone grow horns
to put it politely
I hate myself
kappa, I don't blame me
I hear the theme song as I watch this....
Go go gadget thinking cap!
I might be going home early
Only lost a few lines of work this time. If it reverted back again I was going home.

Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at what appears to be a new AI image generator from X that has almost no guardrails imaginable. Without these safeguards people have been generating content that could absolutely land Elon Musk's company in hot legal waters and images that shouldn't even be suitable to generate...
that thumbnail finna get me in trouble lmao
I'm scared o.O
so far one of the best AI for image generation
scary.
Awkay this AI can render expired people, wtf.
they freaking went comando on this
my eyes
lmao
this Grok thing is wild, I'm stuck in a loop
What a horrible day to have eyes
Mutahar getting people in trouble with that
I blame you o.o
will tell you why later
Go to store.
In car, going to leave.
Random woman comes up to chat bc I look friendly o.o
Usually they ask me for money.
She wanted to ask where I got my car, how to buy a car, how to meet people in the city bc she is fairly new, why are people so infriendly, she got a little racist but I am starting to believe all elderly are racist >.>, she wanted my email, she wanted my phone number (I declined both), she asked if I would go walking with her, what was fun to do around there.
She looked like a crazy homeless woman x.x
She said I was the most friendly person she has met while here and I was just trying to politely tell her it might be her approach, which resulted in her making the racist comments, so I gave up on that. I couldn't figure out how to politely tell her it might also be her appearance.

I was blaming Nerzul because we had a convo on people saying we looked trusting earlier >.>
Malmud is a super villian
I like how off topic has its regulars that are only found here 💙
Sounds like a crazy woman lmao
Better check ya pocket change
I'm a super villain? O.o
She gave me her email and hopes I'll contact her to hang out x.x
You'd probably wake up with a missing kidney
I didn't think of that and am now more scared of the thought o.O
She exceeded my social limit for the day >.>

Good morning everyone, hope you all have a good morning/afternoon or sleep when you turn in 💖🥰

We regret to announce that the planned release of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time for Nintendo Switch on October 10th, 2024 has been delayed. More information about the new release date will be announced in the future. Thank you for your patience.
....Every time I come here, something crazy has been posted. I live for that!
My underwear are crooked, my socks are too loose and my pants are too tight
Definitely sounds like one of those days for you. Hope the day gets better for you!
.. I thought you said your underwear was cooked.
Do they feel more comfortable when cooked? Idk
True indeed. Wearing while cooking them doesn't sound like a good plan.
Valve has banned Razer and Wooting's new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2. Using Snap Tap as Razer calls it or Wooting’s Snappy Tappy will now get you kicked from Counter-Strike 2 games. Full details below 👇 https://t.co/2Jo1fbHlCP
makes sense
but at the same time, aim assist has always been a thing for consoles
according to valve people will be kicked from their matches live cause of this, interesting
they recommend disabling that sort of stuff to avoid "match interruptions" I love that they imply instant gratification for offenders
I mean, tbh, CS2 is already at this point the type of game that in 90% of matches someone leaves either team, if this makes it even worse it's gonna be painful
The amount I'm willing to be around people for a time >.>
What happened with the video yesterday?
someone at work got a glance of the baby mama?
Didn't get to click the video lol
World of warships wanted to do a survey for my account, at 30% of the survey they start asking stuff that is not related to the game, as in my age, if I'm married or not, I instantly closed it, such a shameless study at the expense of the players
They should just pay for someone that already has made those market studies instead of trying to get their own data imho
I don't trust them using it responsibly
This was what that was related to.

Oh wow
They want to pinpoint the demographics so as to target market shit. Usual crap.
The finer pin point they can get on a target demographic, the more effective (in theory) advertising of “specials” and “deals” as well as merchandise will be.
Like wargaming wasn't a titan when it comes to that, already, greedy pricks
I want my Total war Arena back, survey that shiet
Is what it is. They’re always searching for more profits, because it’s not enough to make money, they must make more money. Hells, there was rumour of one game company wanting to put fucking ADVERTISEMENTS in their load screens ffs.
This is a fully paid game btw……
Think it was EA games that wanted to do it to thier FiFa titles.
Like fuck, we play games to NOT deal with that shit.
(Well, we also like shiny shit but that’s not the point, but I agree with Takuro, we need lovander plushie now).
"We calculate that with these changes we can monetize 80% of what the player sees"
or something of the sorts
Mmm, I can’t articulate it, but Yahtzee states it pretty clearly in one of his older videos when he was with Zero Punctuation. Can go grab link if you want.

^ this. He breaks it down pretty thoroughly
Yes. There WAS (was, being the keyword).
MMO wars were a thing. WoW hit lightning in a bottle, other companies wanted to make the same money as world of Warcraft- queue lining up of other MMOs to be swiftly cut down.
Well, blizzard nuked expectations with StarCraft, more than Warcraft. Warcraft they kinda goofed up with their terms and conditions which is how DotA? I think it’s DotA got started, and blizzard couldn’t get any cash outta it.
So they updated terms and conditions and dicked the map editors up.
They also hit with StarCraft 2 wings of liberty, then they fucked up by sacking blizzard north
RTS is a genre that’s been effectively sparse for at least 10 or so years with only the big mainstreams really playing tag with audiences.
Late 90s there were a bunch of C&C / AoE clones. KK’n’D being one of the most memorable for me (Aussie studio that’s no longer in existence thanks to the govt being dicks).
Well, granted, when they did that, the game had been successful for like 10 years I think
and DotA was one of the hundreds of amazing games it birthed
and they did get DotA2 with one of the original creators
oh nvm that's valve, big brainfart, Blizzard had heroes of the storm
Well, by the time DotA 2 hit, blizzard couldn’t touch it as it was its own thing by then and no longer based on a mod.
exactly, they did try with heroes and it was a good spin but they were competing with league and dota2
Heroes of the storm iirc became overwatch. Overwatch 2 being the big flop.
Heroes was pretty much deceased when they completely ditched it, they tried hard
and yeah, then it came Overwatch
I enjoyed that heroes focused more on teamwork than other mobas, I think it could have had a good future with enough work but there's no way they could compete with ultra individualistic mobas like LoL or Dota2
the moba craze we also pretty freaking massive
Waiting for Footmen frenzy to have a standalone game
4 teams, 3 players per side, each has a hero and a unit spawn building, they can either focus on buying items for their hero, upgrade the level of the units spawned or increase the stats of the units spawned, easy game loop
