#

Case in point, if people with an untrained eye don’t get it then why bother?

small berry
#

specially if you can still play the original in the newest console

#

they could have waited a year and the upgrade would be even better probably

#

maybe two years

queen vale

I'll tell you why.

Remaster your old shit.

small berry
#

I do think the remaster puts it in a way more updated position graphically

peak folio
#

Or maybe some of those PS3 games that aren’t natively playable trapped on that thing.

small berry
queen vale
#

Nah, they won't do that, that would involve actual talent instead of just slinging some textures through some AI upscaler

I have some extra coffee, do you need coffee Myles?

queen vale

I'm good, I've got one here to be fair

#

Appreciate the offer though

peak folio

I mean I don’t think this is horrible or anything, I’m just a little puzzled.

night plume
#

Yw. Glad you already have one. I am never sure aboht the delivery if someone accepts xD

peak folio
#

Hope they don’t try to milk Horizon too hard, it’s an amazing setting that I don’t want to see run to the ground.

queen vale
#

Like I said, it's low hanging fruit that can pull in money, they don't have to change much to "Remaster" recent releases or newer games on nearly the same architechture.

The updated dialog would be appreciated, at least.

i stepped on a rusty nail earlier, please pray for me

queen vale

Go get a tetanus shot

small berry
peak folio
#

Whereas the expansion pack content before was the only part that had the mocap

nocturne rune
#

it was in a wooden stick/lumber thing

small berry
#

indoors? outdoors?

nocturne rune
#

it didn't go far inside but there's a wound

#

outdoors

small berry
#

then yeah, I'd say they will most probably make you u get a tetanus shot

nocturne rune
#

alr ill contact the nearest hospital

small berry
#

not all rusty nails are a tetanus risk

queen vale
#

Go. Get. A. Tetanus. Shot. if you're not up to date with them, better safe than hospitalised

small berry
nocturne rune
queen vale
#

At least getting it checked out is a good plan

small berry
#

for sure

#

I love having free time and chatting about random things, queueing a tetanus video right now

#

Apparently tetanus survives long term on soil, manure and dead leaves, so I'm guessing if the nail is outdoors, near any of those things, it's more likely it will have it

queen vale
#

Yeah, it's one of those annoying things that can seem like nothing but turn into something pretty quickly if you're unlucky - to my understanding it's generally not a massive risk, but it's enough of one to take precautions over

small berry
#

yeah it sounds like a horrible death

#

72 hours of symptoms appearing, you die

queen vale
#

I mean Rabies is worse, but again it's about risk 😄

small berry
#

truth

queen vale
#

I'm honestly more scared of Rabies or a Prion disease than Tetanus, but I'm cautious of it all to be fair

small berry
#

Prions are the braineating thingies?

queen vale
#

Yep, a misfolded protein in the brain leading to CJD / Mad Cow disease

#

Caused because we fed brain matter and brain stems to herbivores

#

(Recycled food waste and other such being used as cattle feed)

small berry
#

And then there's the actual brain eating thingies that I was thinking about, the amoebas in the water

#

or not amoebas but something similar

queen vale
#

Oh yeah, they're nasty

small berry
#

That's what more people get worldwide

#

apparently causes nasty memory loss and whatnot

queen vale
#

Yep

small berry
#

Water, one of those things that I will never ever drink without boiling if I'm ever in survival mode

#

I wont trust it, I don't trust it, I'll wait and make a fire

#

I see some people doing survival videos on youtube drinking water from anywhere they find, sure, it's aight, but one day something will make it not aight for a while and you'll suffer

If I had to go get a tetanus shot, I would try to see if I could schedule a primary dr visit. If I have to go in and pay a copay, I might as well get a full visit for the money xD

Or call a pharmacy and see if they will do it bc it will be cheaper and little to no wait

I have one bc I haven't removed my stuff off of it so I can delete everything.
I will then change the email associated with it and use it solely for accessing city events bc NO ONE has actual webpages anymore -.-" if I want to know what type of events are going on in my state I have to redirect to a FB page and they are all set to freaking private....

Burger Time is a very old game.
The buns are the "capture" material, you play as a chef. The ingredients for the burgers walk around trying to kill or eat you (can't remember if it said). You had to push the bun down the platforms capturing as many ingredients to create a complete burger xD.

Someone on our server when it started spent like 17k but then they got bored and left after a few weeks

night plume
#

The last p2w game I played, a guy spent about $50k and swore up and down he was f2p bc he only spent on necessities

#

He bought every item the game had to offer and every item that came out up to that point before making his f2p claim.

It's sorta funny how parents can be, my mum is scared that I have a vitamin D deficiency cause I work with the PC a lot, I have a tan in my arms, yet she thinks the sun doesn't touch me enough

afaik it looks like a blue light thingy

#

never been, just heard about it, so I could be wrong

nocturne rune
#

blue light thingy, ohh i think i get what it is now

small berry
#

"UV-free: Unlike traditional tanning lamps, these lamps do not emit harmful UV radiation, making them safe for daily use.
Vitamin D production: The UV-free light stimulates the skin to produce vitamin D3, a crucial nutrient for bone health and overall well-being."

#

Idk if it's the same blue light that some hand driers use to kill bacteria and stuff, might be

nocturne rune
#

okay that one i didn't know abt, might be good to own during the winter months

small berry
#

I can't find people from those countries mentioning the use of sunlights to boost their vitamin D in winter, they talk about supplements

#

but I think maybe they just don't know there are sunlights all around them

nocturne rune
#

oh yeah, i do have D vitamin supplements

small berry
#

"According to the search results, sun lamps are installed in various settings, including:

Homes: For individuals who experience SAD or have difficulty getting enough natural sunlight due to their location or lifestyle.
Healthcare facilities: For patients with conditions such as depression, sleep disorders, or dementia, as a therapeutic treatment option.
Offices and workspaces: To help employees who work in areas with limited natural light, promoting better mood and productivity."

Im learn Chinose

chuò
radical for walk

#

Combine into

dào
way/path/method/road

#

Like in Daoism

#

Stroke order
Also helpful for typing in Wubi keyboard which isolates the symbol u want based on the symbol's stroke order

#

First u write 首 then 辶. falling right stroke, falling left, horizontal, falling left, vertical, hook, horizontal, horizontal, horizontal, falling right, hook I guess, hook again?, done

#

Im just translating a wiki page of something I like in order to learn

#

Interesting how 辶 doesn't seem to be used as a functional word, only a radical, so u can't say it to say walk. It has like no english equivalent I guess so it's just chuò. If I'm right

#

Walk is this 走
Zǒu

All I know is numbers can be read as words in Chinese

#

as in many numbers have polysemic meanings or at least the sound of them

cunning shadow
#

U know nothing john snow
No thats interesting ty

#

Yeah the symbols arent phonetic you just have to memorize them

#

Well part of it can indicate the sound but not perfectly idk

#

But its kinda cool the symbols each have their own vibes
I think in taoism they have an energy or something

small berry
#

It's kind of needed to memorize the language to know the history behind it, I think that's a dynamic that explains why ethnocentric countries have different alphabets

#

you basically have to develop a basic knowledge of the culture, traditions and history to effectively learn the language

#

at least with Chinese, Japanese and Korean

cunning shadow
#

I refute that
U just have to know the basic logic of the language

small berry
#

I'm not saying you can't, never said that

#

I said to effectively learn the language

#

I don't think that's the case with Russian and it has a different alphabet

cunning shadow
#

Obviously i was implying effectively

small berry
#

doesn't learning the history of a symbol help you remember it?

#

and its multiple meanings and combinations

cunning shadow
#

You don't need to know the history of the letter a to learn it

small berry
#

that's not what I said

cunning shadow
#

Yes it is

small berry
#

Is Chinese easier to learn remotely than any other language for any particular reason?

#

Isn't there an argument that it is maybe harder to learn remotely than other languages

what would those factors be that make it harder

There’s a difference between selling something worth 1K for 1.5K, where you’re adding a reasonable markup for profit , and then there are those who lack morals, inflating the price to 3.5 times its value just to exploit others. The first is fair business; the latter is pure greed

PSA: Always look at your coffee blend, never buy stuff with grains toasted with Torrefaction

queen vale
#

Torrefaction is the process of thermally degrading organic material in a nitrogen or inert environment within a narrow temperature range of 200–300 ℃. It is a common thermal pretreatment technique for enhancing the biochar output of lignocellulosic biomass.

small berry
#

Well, I know the coffee is called Torrefacto

#

Torrefacto refers to a specific method of roasting coffee beans, commonly practiced in Spain, Paraguay, Portugal, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Uruguay, and Argentina. This process involves adding a certain amount of sugar during roasting to glaze the beans, enhancing the Maillard reaction and resulting in a distinct flavor.

#

It might sound good, but it actually makes all grains look the same making impossible to sort out moldy, bad, green, grains

#

so your coffee could have all sorts of garbage and it's not recommended to take regularly even tho here most blend coffees have 20-50% of it mixed with naturally roasted coffee

queen vale
#

small berry
#

One of those coffee culture big brain insights, it usually makes your coffee taste burnt, which apparently is a cheap trick to fool people into thinking it's good coffee cause people think having more body to the flavor is a good sign even tho it tastes sorta burnt

small berry
#

Apparently the word is High Roast in english

TLDR; always buy naturally roasted coffee, don't buy other roasting processes unless you know 100% what it is

# inner walrus How do you guys feel about burritos 🌯 it’s end game food wise 🌚

"A fancy restaurant's recreation of a burrito reduction flavor plate might look something like this:

Plating: A minimalist, white ceramic plate with a clean, modern design.

Components:

Reduced Burrito Sauce: The centerpiece would be a small pool of a deeply concentrated, almost syrupy burrito sauce, possibly infused with additional flavors like smoky chipotle or tangy tomatillo.
Delicate Protein: A small, perfectly cooked piece of protein, such as seared scallops, pan-seared duck breast, or braised short rib, would be placed atop the sauce.
Elevated Sides: Instead of traditional burrito fillings, the plate might feature refined accompaniments like a delicate potato puree, a small dollop of citrus-infused guacamole, or a few pieces of crispy wontons or tortillas.
Garnish: A vibrant microgreen or edible flower could be used as a garnish to add a touch of color and visual interest."

Internal alchemy symbolism in the Wuzhen Pian famous taoist text
"Poem 7
1 You should know that the source of the stream,
the place where the Medicine is born,
is just at the southwest -
that is its native village.
3 When Lead meets the birth of gui,
quickly you should collect it:
if Metal goes past the full moon,
it is not fit to be savored.
5 Send it back to the earthenware crucible,
seal it tightly,
then add the Flowing Pearl,
so that they are match for one another.
7 For the Medicine to weigh one pound
the Two Eights are needed;
regulate the fire times
relying on Yin and Yang. "

cunning shadow
#

Time to practice chinese eee

First character
My brain is so dead this morning from no sleep
Must fix later

#

Simplified and traditional chinese are different
These old texts use traditional

#

Its likely composed of two parts, the top and bottom radicals
Umm i think usually one is a phonetic indication and one is meaning or something...

simple aurora
cunning shadow
#

It means Yào
want/desire/ask/request

#

à
this is one of the 5 tones in chinese
u say it like an exclamation or shouting
like yao!
the other 4 are
yao (no tone)
yaaaooooo (long)
upward tone yao? like a question but not necessarily actually for questions
and a v shaped like the exclamation combined with the question
goes down then up

#

yao v ^

#

like in ni hao those are both v shape

#

now imma practice the stroke order

#

on my paperr

small berry
#

Is thank you kinda like saying Sheer sheer with a muted R

#

what's the nuance there

cunning shadow
#

There are like 5 main stroke types

#

horizontal vertical falling left falling right and hook
the falling are like just the little tiny marks usually that u see

#

覀 [xià]: cover
so thats the top part of the character which gets reused in many characters

#



means female
thats the other part

#

the strokes for female are hook, falling left, and horizonal, I guess

cunning shadow
#

I dont really know about pronunciations with subtle rs

#

I think it might come about naturally over time with the mouth shape that the sounds induce

#

讠 [yán]: speech
thats on the left side of the character

#

so thats the radical the next is the phonetic

#

phonetic: 射 hint: speech

Shè
means shoot
Idk what hint means

#

thats weird
the phonetic has another radical inside it
its like a
inception

#




#

#

Maybe you can do things like that because one is the phonetic and one is the umm meaning or something

#

so you just have the incepted character memorized and use it for another character

#

except I don't think the phonetic is really like a clean thing
it's not like apple where you can sound it out and get close a p p l e
it's like
a similar word to remind you of what the word should be or something
I don't know yet

#

But I guess in a way you do need to know the word apple to get it right confidently, so in a way you are memorizing it the same as chinese characters

small berry
#

It's a wildly versatile language tbh

cunning shadow
#

the rly cool part or one is instead of declensions they just put a character so you don't have to memorize like 20 dif words for each word

#

at the end of a sentence or something indicates perfect tense or something like completed

I can talk and all, but if the info isn't properly understood or they don't want to listen then I can't help much

# small berry matchmakings are a lie

They don't even add enough variables to make it a good MMR system if they made the system absolutely perfect they'd have to break it later when the games player count drops so you're not waiting 30 minutes or more for a match

# small berry I can manage 20% of matches being with people way superior than me, I learn a lo...

With today's technology you could probably devise a basic MMR have it be entirely skill based

Could further make it where 2man teams or more only que with 2man teams or more basically encouraging people to solo que or go all in with friends.

Meaning even on a loss a truly good player positive k/d good gold gain or whatever else across the board gets slowly pushed up and the bad players keep pushed down

#

Then just revise what means good and bad overtime as players adapt to the game and the skill curve changes

#

Could even add AI and train it on replays for an added layer to skill check people, I mean they've made an AI anti cheat why not just repurpose it for checking too

#

Be a fuck ton of work but yea

in my view, mmr should be based on your statistics, your performance, then you should be placed in a division and do a regular scoring league like in football

#

I understand there's better ways to make a league with people going up and down the league, but I know we don't need to complicate things

stone harbor
#

I prefer numbers over your classic diamond bronze etc... personally, rankings that class a group from my standpoint aren't great, but yea the system needs to count all the variables hell it could even show a comparison on why you didn't rank up or score many points

#

Like the top 1% of players did this, top 30% did this etc...

small berry
#

technically the more points you win the higher the rating disparity and vice versa

stone harbor
#

I mean with all things you cap it eventually

#

Otherwise you end up with a diablo immortal situation where one guy got so far ahead he doesn't even que into other whales

#

but it's an opportunity to learn how to balance the game

stone harbor
#

Balancing is just a game of math, crazy thing is devs don't even need to try as hard as they do to balance it for FPS anyways

#

For mmorpgs it's a bit more in depth even if you equalize it

That's why it looks familiar

small berry
#

My personal phrase lately is "Balance isn't a Pit, Balance is a ladder"

#

You simply can't control such a complex thing with a simple game studio

#

it's pure chaos

#

The only realistic way to balance things to me is with a counter system, sword/spear/archers/cavalry/siege

#

Balance is entirely a matter of perception in my opinion, you can tweak things but you don't really know how far that single tweak altered the entire board

#

there's melee and ranged in pretty much 80% of games

#

Size of a character is also a variable, movement speed, cooldowns, there's like an infinite amount of variables that make something stronger or weaker

stone harbor
#

And I stated purely for FPS game they don't need to worry as much as they do, still small nuances like recoil, reload, animation frames etc...

small berry
#

in a game like Counter strike I'd agree

#

but Overwatch has the same issues I mentioned, same with Valorant

#

or anything that involves more than a purely symetrical fps

#

Making balanced asymetrical pvp games is simply a lie

#

it's our parents

#

maybe AI can help with creating a solid enough framework people believe it's actually balanced

stone harbor
#

It's doable to an extent if everything is equalized, but youd have to adjust movement speed and damage after that if you have say melee vs ranged otherwise melee will just get kited and wrecked 99.99% of the time, there's ways to simplify it, a few games I've seen do equalization almost perfectly was a lot of fun, they even removed the level gap issue in arena mostly, like a level 35 could legitimately kill a level 60

small berry
#

then add spells to that

#

4 of em on average

stone harbor
#

It did have spells, some classes had like 16 abilities

#

And upgraded versions of those abilities

# small berry what do you mean everything is equalized

Gear doesn't matter other things don't matter, if you're level 35 your health and defence gets boosted to the same stat as the level 60 for example, your damage also gets boosted to match it.

When I say equalized it means it's a literal even footing aside from access to certain skills

#

After that it's just tweaking class kits, if they all operate the same fundamentally with a few variations that still scream this class is unique

#

It doesn't get boring

#

More games are slowly adding it for arena and normal play there's two different calculations the game uses

#

But it's been floating around for over 10 years mostly on niche games

small berry
#

it's way more complex than 90% of companies give it credit for

#

and most of those end up spiraling their game down the drain with useless tweaks

#

and the remaining ones manage to improve things after 10 years

stone harbor
#

I mean the main downfall of those is their relying on gaining a heavy PVP playerbase

#

And there just isn't as many PVPers on most of them vs pve

small berry
#

Most companies think having someone from Harvard that's a math god will help them have a balanced game

#

pvp games I mean, always

stone harbor
#

But take that balancing on an RTS if everything is fundamentally the same different factions may have different boosts, but if everything is equally as important a 5% boost to gold would still be similar to a 5% boost to platinum or you could forgo resource boosts and have it be training time or attack speed or movement, flying etc.. as long as the end result doesn't make an absolute clear meta of "hey this is broken" or "hey this beats the other 55% of the time"

Then I'd say it's good enough

small berry
#

I think that if some strategy is strong but not flawless, unsurmountable, then I think it's good

#

if all it takes for me to beat a strategy is for me to understand it, then I can deal with it
