dandadan anime is pretty good

The main char girl is INFP
It seems like infp girl chars are getting more common maybe? idk

leadership is always blamed for a companys fault

a remaster like age of mythology or FF7, sure

remaster like commando's collection or praetorians, no, they are just updated ports to work on modern hardware

[peak folio]

As long as government overreach does rush into steam like they do to people with pets we’ll be okay. 😆

[barren sierra]

im surprised nobody is going after GOG

[peak folio]

But what this ADL report is doing is basically trying to do to steam what they did to Peanut

[barren sierra]

They dont support it but the way they sell games "promotes" piracy

Surprised no corporate got pissy yet

I don’t think you understand the nature of the situation. 😆

ay i remember the ratatan's predecessor patapon

ngl patapon is a great series for me tho

no i dont understand how a picture of a bipedal frog demonized by 4chan is seen as offensive

Geoff Keighley is attempting to trademark "Game Awards" with the US Patent Office, meaning no one else will be able to host an awards show with the words "Game Awards" in it

Worse, he's emailing fans and requesting they file with the USPTO on his behalf

[ancient rampart]

i hate it when people abuse their power

[tranquil obsidian]

we back?

[tranquil obsidian]

establishes an awards show called "The cooler game awards"

[teal iron]

I thought that guy was supposed to be cool?

[tranquil obsidian]

hes actually quite divisive; bucky likes him though so you probably wont hear any detractors here =p

[rare osprey]

Make a show called Explosive Gayme Rewards.

[teal iron]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-side-eye-gif-5016118126108679217

Become explosively gay. It costs nothing to bother people.

You'll hear me, the trademark hater

[rare osprey]

Hnnnnngggg I wish to eat paint.

[ancient rampart]

[rare osprey]

Famous humble can’t handle their can

[teal iron]

-# i wonder if he's just bitter that his show which is drifting away from the prestige it once commanded is getting less and less recognition each year?

[ancient rampart]

I wonder what's the next famous person gonna shoot themselves in the foot

[rare osprey]

Good question. I bet it’s boat dog.

[snow thistle]

The 2023 show had like 118mil views. In no reality is TGA "drifting away from the prestige it once commanded is getting less and less recognition each year"

It only gets bigger every year

[teal iron]

The trend I observe in my circles is declining interest

[snow thistle]

It's so influential to the gaming landscape now that even The Oscars announced that they want to try make The Oscars be more like the TGA format

I just don't see a reality in which TGA isn't the biggest gaming event of the year

Not during my lifetime anyway

Maybe after Geoff resigns or something

[sick flame]

In general, remasters/remakes and DLC should have separate categories

[tranquil obsidian]

Bucky how is Greggs

[tranquil obsidian]

i mean, theres definitely a bias in that people following the game awards account are likely to actually watch it =p

im more surprised theres 10% of people following who dont watch

i suppose its issue is its starting to have the issues that crept into E3 where its becoming more about commericalisation and "fun" sideshows than the actual games people are there for; so they usually ait til after the show then watch the highlights.

[teal iron]

Either way trademarking "the game awards" is mega cringe behavior

Hopefully the patent office slaps it down

[tranquil obsidian]

"I just don't see a reality in which TGA isn't the biggest gaming event of the year"
and if the patent goes through itll be the only awards show allowed

though LoL is actually the biggest gaming event of the eyar if we're talking numbers as much as i hate it

[teal iron]

-# Why does the patent office handle trademarks anyway
-# I guess "intellectual property office" doesn't roll off the tongue

[tranquil obsidian]

i know its not a perfect fit but you just reminded me of that skit where it goes over how one company does two completely unrelated things

[teal iron]

But yeah this is what I meant

People in my circles are losing interest because it's just ads ads ads

Or so they say
I was never interested i just ask if [game I like] won and complain if the answer is no

If Palworld isn't game of the year then I'm sorry but the game awards aren't real

[tranquil obsidian]

i watched it live a couple of times, but it just gets tedious sitting through 90% of unrelated waffle. i just want the trailers, the awards dont even really excite me, especially given the rather suspicious winners weve seen the past few years

so now i just wait til its over, then watch the highlights

[teal iron]

I don't think they've been real for several years now tbh

I don't know if the ever were
I guess a few of my favorite games say "game of the year" so idk

[tranquil obsidian]

theres no "perfect" system to make an awards show unfortunately so the whole concept of awards has lost its meaning. like, now when a film wins an oscar people are just... indifferent. oscars has been losing a lot of viewership

"well this game looks like dogshit, but it won best sound design so guess ill buy it"

i unno, the concept of people just buying a game because "it won an award" feels... odd to me

[teal iron]

It doesn't really matter to me tbh
I already know what the best game of all time is (Palworld) and the best sound design (Kirby Triple Deluxe)

The game awards are not an expert panel judging video games it's a panel of "experts" being quizzed on a basic question of what game this year is the best (according to me) and WOW they love answering incorrectly

[tranquil obsidian]

reminder that alan wake 2 has still not made its money back and probably never will

[teal iron]

Just like those "what Pokemon type are you" quizzes aren't me finding out what type I am, it's the quiz maker finding out if they made it correctly

[tranquil obsidian]

calling it now though; if palworld wins anything, people are immediately going to call bullshit and the discord is getting raided

[teal iron]

Palworld isn't going to win either because of some stupid technicality about early access or because some Nintendo Fanboy pressured the show into excluding it

[tough comet]

[teal iron]

I expected that

[tranquil obsidian]

nintendo got pretty shafted last year; i kinda hope its a sign theyre losing footing and influence in the industry

[teal iron]

I was gonna add does Nintendo even like
Appear in the game awards anymore?

[ancient rampart]

i'm guessing because of their bad press in the public eye from the lawsuits they filed

[tranquil obsidian]

did anyone else get a brief timeout notification for like 5 seconds or is discord being screwy again

[ancient rampart]

not sure never encountered it before

[unique fable]

IP SERVER PLS

[peak folio]

This tweet is hyperbolic. 1) The mark in question is “The Game Awards” which matters. 2) It doesn’t stop something like Golden Joystick Awards from existing or anything else that contains a truncated version of the trademark. 3) It would only be a problem if they start going after anyone and everyone with the slightest even questionable resemblance to the trademark a la Monster or Nintendo.

[tranquil obsidian]

Sadly Pokémon is not a dictionary word and Pocket Monsters isn’t used in thus hemisphere

It’s mostly determined by a western committee

[wild mountain]

gamepass on xbox or pc? if console, we cannot help.

[raw stream]

PC

[wild mountain]

if pc, same as steam, you go to the folder and move the contents of both backup folders to the save folder.

[raw stream]

i actually did go to try it out. Interestingly, gamepass saves games differently. The folders are directly missing which steam creates to save games.

I found few game pass people on reddit. they said same thing and that gamepass saves game differently and it will fuk the game up if i do steam method. Their solution? reinstall the game. it fixes it

Now 2 things can happen. I lost all my save and have to restart and spend another few weeks to try tackle sakurajima, or it comes back and I do 1 more oil rig run then go to new island

[olive seal]

I love you

I felt like dying yesterday, today I just have a sore throat and headache 😌 much better than yesterday

And I’m taking meds now 😌

Sadly, my world is gone.

and I am too pissed to start new round. Gonna go cool off and try some other game on game pass

[olive seal]

People here start a new world each update, don’t give up!

“Harbinger of doom” heh. Shits gonna go down.

[fleet wedge]

pal world makes automatic backups of your save data. go to C:\Users\"YourUsernameHere"\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\76561198028282823\

numbers may very

but you should find the save data there

[raw stream]

thats the thing, game pass does not make that file

hence the method is not usable.

[fleet wedge]

C:\Users\(Your system username)\AppData\Packages\PocketpairInc. Palworld_ad4psfrxyesvt\ SystemAppData\wgs

try this one

ah yes. that one does exist. And files are there

but now i am gonna do a new start

Hi Archi

[peak folio]

#off-topic-memes message @jaunty temple
I tried to find this post yesterday since that screenshot was going around, but they either deleted it or it’s fake.

[jaunty temple]

😭 Damn

Appreciate the heads-up tho

[peak folio]

I didn’t dig into it at all, but the mention of CSAM does make it a little sus.

Unrelated, I stumbled onto an article explaining why Jack Dorsey left Bluesky

[jaunty temple]

Still though what changes when half the problem makers of Twitter go to Bluesky 💀

[peak folio]

It’s got a lot of momentum right now, probably for all the wrong reasons, but I’m keeping an eye on it at least. This was probably like the firth so-called twitter exodus in the last couple years.

And what always happens is the moderation gets too heavy handed and people go crying back.

Ah, here’s the bit about Dorsey.

rip no embed

[full mountain]

Ain't the "mistakes" jack is talking about related to some BS he wanted to integrate with bsky that the rest of the team said "no that's incredibly dumb" to?

Iirc jack ain't exactly the best kinda dude around

Idk tho ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cunning shadow]

I just noticed that Chevreuse and Kirara actually have the exact kits I wanted for a long time
Chevreuse is the first non bennett pyro healer and at c6 heals the whole party,

and kirara has the best 4* shield and is a useful element, dendro and at c4 does a coordinated attack so I can apply easy dendro

I don't really like meta teams I just do the same team that I like that's functional in any situation

[full mountain]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1208324263233462282/1307755868959543366/Screenshot_20241117_121349_YouTube.jpg?ex=673b7610&is=673a2490&hm=98375cb971571eed6bbf40af70e49dc41c8f7571c76619ecc7054de71de32f41&

BTW, are there actually any updates to this, or is this just some BS click bait?

Uploaded 22 hours ago

[peak folio]

It says in the article

[cunning shadow]

my team priorities: shield
1 hydro archer 1 pyro archer
except furina is so decent that I replace the hydro archer with her
1 dendro or cryo for breaking shields
1 claymore or geo for physical shields

sprinkle in buffs anywhere I can to add dps

this would free up a whole slot I think as long as it's claymore or geo

could use navia waifu reliably

i like acher cuz ranged is so comfy
sniping
distance

[peak folio]

I doubt there’s anything new.

[cunning shadow]

i use lyney rn
i just got a new phone so i can actually play it

i forget whether lyney has explosive dmg for shields

[full mountain]

Ahhhh okay, actually read the article (lmao, I'll admit I just woke up) and basically his stick up was that bsky isn't truly "decentralized" and that he hates the moderation and account deleting the moderation tools and staff can do to offending account

[cunning shadow]

that would help

[glad needle]

I would have the same problem. Good thing I dont use Bluesky

[peak folio]

Yup… which in the end really jacked up twitter, lol

But who knows maybe an eccentric billionaire will buy up Bluesky as well.

[full mountain]

I'm ngl, I agree with what the current lead of bsky said, unmoderated spaces just don't work

[full mountain]

? Twitter starting going horrid once they relaxed moderation, tho, giving bigots any sorta platform is a horrid fucking idea, imo

[cunning shadow]

my best team right now is
zhongli shield and break geo shields, baizhu heal and break cryo shields, lyney main dps pyro, furina sub dps hydro and buffer

[tranquil obsidian]

from what I've seen the biggest issue of bluesky is it kinda fails as a social media platform when you can't socialise because moderation tools are way too strict

[full mountain]

They can fuck off to thier little shitty neocities forums, with pleasure

[peak folio]

I’m guessing you didn’t read the Twitter Files, but I won’t trouble you with that.

[full mountain]

I haven't seen the moderation be too heavy handed and do any false positives

[full mountain]

Wtf are the Twitter files?

[peak folio]

When the real obvious shadowbanning stated thats when it got really bad.

[peak folio]

dw about it.

[full mountain]

Oh okay well I know about the shadowbanning stuff, which hit everyone iirc

No matter the side of the spectrum, so to say

[peak folio]

That’s basically what is keeping every other upstart down as well.

[full mountain]

Well most app stores basically require you to moderate your app

It's just da rulez

[cunning shadow]

but I could do umm
kirara apply dendro and shield, chevreuse heal and apply pyro, furina sub dps hydro, then any of 16 claymores or 12 dendros, or klee has explosive dmg, wonder how many have explosive

[full mountain]

Uoi is really trying here and I feel bad for em, ngl

[tranquil obsidian]

it's more, you can't expect everyone to agree on everything all the time. like right, we're having a discussion that simply couldn't happen on bluesky; the instant you disagree with me, one of us gets removed and so on until your left with a small circle of people with the exact same thoughts in all ways

[peak folio]

Which is what happened with Mastodon, Threads, etc

[full mountain]

Huh?

[cunning shadow]

I feel like you can just farm stuff in genshin, it doesn't have to be p2w
and I love open world
and cute characters
I got mad in the past because ganyu didn't get a constellation for her normal while lyney and others did
which made her way weaker

[tranquil obsidian]

I'm on mobile, grammar might not be perfect rn lol

[full mountain]

The thing with mastodon is that it was server/instance based and all the little spaces has their own moderation standards, idk mastodon was just too complicated imo

The "fediverse" is an interesting idea but idk, just sounds like it over complicates things

[peak folio]

i feel like it was a LOT easier to type on mobile 10 years ago.

[glad needle]

And Reddit

[full mountain]

Bsky, being a single space, at least is somewhat consistent

[peak folio]

As phones got more advanced they fight you harder and harder

[cunning shadow]

A character whose whole kit is based on her normal and then they decide to start handing out more normal +3 constellations and she gets left behind

[full mountain]

I've never seen someone on bluesky be banned for having "the wrong opinion"

[peak folio]

reddit is not new though, but… yeah it’s got issues.

[full mountain]

Only if it's like some actual hatred kinda stuff

[peak folio]

I’m seeing several complaints, but I haven’t validated them, could very well be grifters.

[full mountain]

I haven't seen this happen to anyone innocent yet

[cunning shadow]

They randomly give her lotus distraction skill the +3 and not her freaking normal 😭 pieces of

[peak folio]

Unless you’re omnipotent you’re not likely going to just “see” someone get banned.

[full mountain]

As kyran said it could just be grifters complaining they can't post westboro baptist church type messages on thier profile

[peak folio]

Questioning everything is the safest thing to do.

[full mountain]

Man I don't play Zenless Genshin Starrail man why are you getting mad at me?

[full mountain]

That's a fair approach, I just feel it's unproductive to assume everything on the internet is trying to push some kinda hive mind think is all, idk maybe I'm misunderstanding

[glad needle]

Yea, WBC is too extreme and hateful even for me Much of what they say isn’t even Biblically sound

[full mountain]

Whatta mean even for you?

Surely a god fearing Christian as yourself shouldn't have an ounce of hate in your heart, no?

[tranquil obsidian]

wording like "anyone innocent" is actually a perfect example; "if you got banned you must have deserved it" mentality is how things usually end up getting worse

[full mountain]

That is so not what I implied, what I mean is someone who's not like, saying hate speech or whatever

[glad needle]

Their picket signs are saying things like “God Damn America” and “Pray for more dead troops” I can’t even type their website address here!

[peak folio]

Not just the internet, the news cycle has been pushing propaganda to the point that their viewers are undergoing a mental crisis. I’m thinking about stopping my flash briefing for a bit because they are still at it. I wish I was exaggerating.

[glad needle]

They’ve been known to picket military funerals

[peak folio]

But for your own health just don’t take people’s word for it right now.

[full mountain]

I'm more so overanalyzing/teasing your wording of "too hateful even for me" which implies you hate something but not everything, lmao

[peak folio]

That’s messed up.

[full mountain]

I feel that with the news I agree, and again that's irrespective of whatever "side" your one, seems everyone is fear mongering

[glad needle]

Yea, youre gonna have to look for their web address yourself. I can’t type it anywhere in this server or I’ll be banned instantly

[full mountain]

I very much do think false bans can happen, I just haven't seen anyone be banned for just being "wrong" side of politics or whatever

[tranquil obsidian]

and i have

Yes, that one

He literally asked

[full mountain]

It's a social media platform that is basically a clone of Twitter, was even started as a protocol for Twitter that eventually split off into its own thing

[frozen bluff]

It's an effect caused by how the light from the sun is scattered by the air particles in the atmosphere-

Oh, not that bluesky

[hearty sonnet]

Hell yeah

[tranquil obsidian]

basically it's people who think Twitter is literally all [insert whatever we think is the worst group of people right now] and left to make their own Twitter

[full mountain]

I know lmao

[tranquil obsidian]

animation studio that made ice age is also correct

[frozen bluff]

Blue Sky entertainment- yeah what he said

[glad needle]

I thought it was a Twitter clone made by lefties who were just mad because Elon Musk won’t let them infringe on free speech

[peak folio]

It would be nice to have a social protocol that everything can just access (like email) and the very existence of it doesn’t depend on one company… but the fediverse is hot garbage rn

[frozen bluff]

People started flocking there when X released that they were going to allow AI to use people's art as a training model, essentially

This is obviously something I'm not okay with

[glad needle]

Oh. That’s actually more sensible

[peak folio]

Bluesky is growing hotly right now

They also pinkyswear that they aren’t gonna force you to agree to scraping your stuff for some internal generative AI

[tranquil obsidian]

and then they'll ban adult content and everyone will exodus all over again

would not surprise me

No, it was a thing that was started by the Twitter team, that split off around the time Elon bought Twitter. There's not politics there, i fail to see the point in making it so.

But if you wanna go there and make it about that, then ya know Twitter doesn't really allow free speech either, right? They're still a platform with moderation of some kind, Elon be damned or not

[full mountain]

I feel they don't mind adult content, seeing how robust the filtering tools are

You can set up your timeline so it'll block out posts that aren't porn, lmao

[frozen bluff]

There are politics there. It's one of the things you can select upon making an account for things that you're interested in

[peak folio]

You can say things and it won’t get deleted or get you banned (unless it’s explicitly illegal), but it doesn’t mean it’ll show it to anybody, lol

[full mountain]

No I'm talking about the origins of bluesky, it's not like it was made because of politics

[peak folio]

But yeah what Jack Dorsey wanted to do was make an open federation for Twitter that would allow other clients to access the same content and that project was Bluesky.

[full mountain]

That's suppressing of muh free speech, literally 1984 smh my head Twitter is dum

[peak folio]

But then he left the board when Bluesky shifted to becoming basically its own twitter

[full mountain]

Iirc bsky is still interested in making their platform compatible with fediverse stuff, so idk

To me it looks like he left cuz he hated that the site had moderation, like, in general

[peak folio]

“freedom of speech does not mean freedom of reach” or so goes the line. Still most people even moderately left let alone right of center just get completely silenced everywhere else online.

[full mountain]

Right?

[peak folio]

Since one demographic pretty much controls technical communication

[full mountain]

People make it seems it's a one sided issue when really this crap affects everyone

[frozen bluff]

Fediverse sounds like a really bad marvel movie

[peak folio]

But has the drawback of being completely blind to what everyone else is really talking about.

Just bc I didn't see this answer:

Twitter was failing.
Guy/team sold Twitter to Elon.
Guy/team then created Blusky with the money they got for selling the failing social media to "restart" the social media.

[full mountain]

Bluesky existed before the sell off, as a seperate protocol for Twitter

They eventually split off on their own, tho

Not sure that’s a thing?

its sort of a rule; theres only been like 3(?) exceptions, and in all cases they were games that were already in a fully playable state

[peak folio]

Even of the game is fully released, if it’s not in a fully playable state Somy will pull it. 😆

If it is an exception then good for Pocketpair. Playstation has been pretty stingy about crossplay too but make exceptions for huge games like Fortnite.

I couldn’t even see the hood of my truck it rained so hard once while driving

[cunning shadow]

on a video I saw a certain phone camera view could see through a rainy windshield

[wild mountain]

i experienced a strange "chunk loading" error irl where it was raining everywhere except the block my family lived at. like, a sudden lack of rain all around it like from a video game. my brother was driving and asked me if i saw it too, then he proceeded to turn the car around, go back to the rain then re-rendered the "chunk" and the rain actually fell.

[wild mountain]

rain-x

doesn't matter how hard it rains. keep it clear.

[icy pecan]

I had rainx on

I worked at a car dealership detailing so I had all stuff on it but it literally rained so hard you couldn’t see

I’ve encountered rain lines that are crisp and sharp before it was cool one side of it was completely soaked and the other side dry like it never rained

[icy pecan]

No officer I wasn’t FaceTiming I was driving

[wild mountain]

was it crisp 90 degree angle though?

you can see a box around the block where it's not been wet before? also wasn't certain how to call it...

It might have been but I didn’t follow the whole line to find out I was driving

I was just like oh wow look that line of rain is so controlled it is as if it was painted

• On average, 79% of U.S. adults nationwide are literate in 2024.
  21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024.

• 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level).
• Low levels of literacy costs the US up to 2.2 trillion per year.
  34% of adults lacking literacy proficiency were born outside the US.
• Massachusetts was the state with the highest rate of child literacy.
• New Mexico was the state with the lowest child literacy rate.
• New Hampshire was the state with the highest percentage of adults considered literate.
• The state with the lowest adult literacy rate was California.

That… explains a lot.

My granny and I got caught in such bad rain that we couldn't see in front of us. I inched up super slow bc I knew a weigh station/pit stop was up ahead and finally found it. Pulled in, hoped I was in a parking spot, and we jus tplayed cards until it cleared

[peak folio]

Did you lap a threadripper?

[heady light]

nope, its a 12th gen intel mobile cpu

i7 1280p

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/226253/intel-core-i71280p-processor-24m-cache-up-to-4-80-ghz/specifications.html

[peak folio]

Oh, wasn’t paying attention to that intel mount.

That heatspreader is for a laptop mount or something?

If the cooler lines up with the cores it ought to be fine, but the excess material on the plate might just trap heat.

But a mobile part with a desktop cooler shouldn’t have too many issues unless it’s lined up poorly

[cunning shadow]

the hell chip is that

[heady light]

a laptop cpu soldered to a desktop motherboard i got from china

[cunning shadow]

does it work

[heady light]

im mostly worried about the surface area with the cooler being smaller than the head spreader

[cunning shadow]

thats crazy that it works

[heady light]

it should, if i dont melt it with mounting the wrong cooler to it?

[cunning shadow]

some coolers have wiggle room where you tighten until it is on the surface so maybe would work

[heady light]

its only 65w tdp at max turbo so im not super worried

[cunning shadow]

why it aerodynamic

[heady light]

tubo as in intels built in overclocking

[peak folio]

Which is a legit concern, but that cooler can definitely handle any mobile chip’s TDP, the problem is if the coldplate on the cooler isn’t physically on top of where the CPU silicon is then the heat will have a harder time getting out if the heatspreader and get saturated before heating up the cooler’s fins.

[heady light]

or rather not underclocking

[peak folio]

if that mskes sense.

But if it goes straight through then the heat will flow from hot to cold across the terminations properly

[heady light]

might power it briefly to see if it posts, and if i can feel the hot spot

🤔

[peak folio]

It’ll post, might need to run it for a bit.

[heady light]

tho it comes with standard lga1700 mount so i can only really put it on upside down

[peak folio]

A mobile proc has no business getting hot in a desktop so if you feel hot spots you know there’s a problem

[cunning shadow]

https://imgur.com/a/F4LzjIv

[peak folio]

Did you do the homework about the lga1700 pinouts being identical between mobile and desktop?

[cunning shadow]

love my new phone
needed a new one after like 6 years
got it for like $600 from china and it's a top speed test performer

[peak folio]

I recall putting a mobile AMD chip in a desktop ages ago but required a pin mod (adding a short between two specific pins)

[heady light]

tbf thats lover a mm of metal on there so that should help a lot

[heady light]

yeah the listing for it said to use lga1700 desktop mount

[cunning shadow]

isnt there usually a frame to affix it on from around the cpu on the mobo?

[peak folio]

Okay you should be safe

[cunning shadow]

just see if there is enough room for that ghetto build and you're good 😂

i need a new cpu too actually
i couldnt decide
cuz you need a whole new mobo usually for a new cpu

[heady light]

well i brought them together, didnt do the soldering myself

[cunning shadow]

i cant even grasp that lol

cuz usually certain cpus are compatible with certain mobos

they must have been really familiar with it to know they could hotwire it like that..

unless they were just being dumb and it worked (or didnt work)

No, I don’t think Palworld was snubbed.

Twitter has become such a banterless place. Stop being so over dramatic gamers. Not everything is a conspiracy.

That being said…Satisfactory was 1000% snubbed and I’ll be voicing that opinion ad nauseam at The Game Awards in person😡

I try to picture my cats doing the faces and poses of a lot of the memes, and every time I do, I just conclude they have to be possessed xD

[undone osprey]

I just amazed they have camera ready at anytime, cos everytime i tries, the event already long gone... so does the cats

[night plume]

Scarlett despises pictures, if she sees the phone, she leaves bc she doesn't want anything to do with it.

Nori doesn't mind, but she wants attention. If you stop giving attention, she'll use the phone for pets.

Boots poses.... She likes the attention and just poses for the camera if she isn't too far into play mode.

[undone osprey]

Hmm... at least they know what phone is, i think my cats doesnt understand human tech

[night plume]

I have messed up with Boots....
I downloaded "Cat Toy 2" to let her play a cat game. Now, if she sees my phone, she starts going after things on the screen when I am using it, and if I have it sitting somewhere, she tries to turn it on by swatting the screen over and over until she is frustrated.

[bronze summit]

I'm bored some one wanna play with me?

There is a "palworld lfg multiplayer" channel you may have better luck in. This one is more of a chat channel.

There was a Playstation commercial that kept playing while I was watching something.
It wasn't until the 4th or 5th time the commercial played that I saw the Playstation logo come up at the beginning so I knew it was a commercial for Playstation and not a commercial telling people to go outside and play.

Decided to watch 1408

Because idk what else to watch

[night plume]

Were you the one who watched The Babadook? If so, did you enjoy it?

[wicked verge]

Yeah I did. I liked it ^^

[night plume]

Loved the Babadook, wanted more of it xD

"Before I wake" is similar-ish to the style of movie if you need another after 1408.

"Smile" is a newer horror movie, and it wasn't bad(not as good as the above one imo, but not bad). There are trailers for the sequel out now (idk much about that)

i still havent played it

I'm holding back the urge to talk about the pokemon leaks in a pokemon server I just remembered I was in

[wicked verge]

So question:

||when Mike was in the hospital. Did he really leave 1408?||

[night plume]

I can't remember of I've watched that one tbh. When I read up on it, it sounds familiar, but I think I watched a couple of similar movies x.x

[tranquil obsidian]

what are the jp sales figures for palworld

[full mountain]

yeah, Pokemon sells, quality or not

[pastel minnow]

bro this game is mad cheaks

[pastel minnow]

sales dosent = quality

[glad needle]

If only the gaming industry didnt have pig children who just mindlessly support AAA monopolies

[frozen bluff]

Brand loyalty a bitch ain't it? 😂

[pastel minnow]

yep

i litterly own every pokemon game sence x and y i cant be talking 💀 😭

i didnt buy the dlc guys for sv dont hate me

[teal iron]

I didn't think palworld was actually real so I bought SV and its DLC

I live with many regrets...

[pastel minnow]

i played the base game right

i was somewhat enjoying it at first cause big open world then i realized there was litterly nothing to do

[peak folio]

TBF the jank was really all that was holding this one back from being the no brainer best one in the series.

[glad needle]

S&V never got me interested in Pokeslop

[pastel minnow]

all pokemon games pre sword shield are decent

[teal iron]

You say "was" like they fixed it or something

[pastel minnow]

sword and shield the series truly became cheaks

i dont even own palworld chat i just played it on gamepass 💀 😭

[teal iron]

I don't think they ever even took the "water crashes the game for some reason" seriously

[peak folio]

Well it surpassed the original on sales in the home region so I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. 😆

[pastel minnow]

imma also be real i dont like palworld a lot i hate survival games but i respect it because W game and screw the pokemon company

[glad needle]

The only reason Pokemon would sell at all is because they had no competition

[teal iron]

Gamefreak after releasing SV on Day 1
https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-leonardo-nimoy-barney-my-job-gif-12542921

[pastel minnow]

i mean i enjoyed most of there games

[glad needle]

Youre really missing out on the best superpowered wildlife

[pastel minnow]

before sword and shield i didnt think any of the games were ubsurdly bad

[teal iron]

I replayed SwSh a few years ago and yeah it was that bad

[peak folio]

I don’t know about that, but the most powerful IP on the world has a lot of inertia.

[pastel minnow]

usum was a big example of bro wtf are you doing like why release it 2 seconds after sm making sm pointless

[teal iron]

PLA was pretty good

[pastel minnow]

it was a good step but

[teal iron]

but they pretty clearly want to make traditional JRPG with monsters so I think I'm no longer interested

I only liked pokemon because of the monsters, the actual video game was shallow at best to me

[glad needle]

Show me the Pokeslop games that actually let you pet your mons, or treat their injuries

[pastel minnow]

i prefer turn based rpgs but they could have way higher quality

[teal iron]

That's why I immediately jumped on Palworld
It's cutesy monsters AND action
Optimized

[pastel minnow]

i wouldent mind if they idk maybe locked in and made harder battles and quality graphics and more post game in the open world games

[peak folio]

There’s no doubt SV would have done even better if it had PLA quality, but they were releasing like 20 games that year snd it hurt

[teal iron]

I would prefer they make the battle system actually good rather than just giving NPCs a bunch of bullsh-t difficulty

[pastel minnow]

more side content would have made sv 10x better theres no side content what so ever no go catch mewtwo taking a dookie for 10000 poke coins or anything weird and fun like that

[nocturne rune]

OMG

[pastel minnow]

jellybean adults talking go away

[teal iron]

I am of the opinion that Pokemon battle is like
the worst system every systemed

[nocturne rune]

waah okey

[pastel minnow]

its fine

but they dont even add anything

no changes to make the newest games better

its jsut the same game again

compare emerald with pearl

[peak folio]

https://tenor.com/view/dragalge-pokemon-kalos-amie-pet-gif-27372804

[teal iron]

I disagree

[pastel minnow]

better graphics new features sv didnt do any of that

pokemon graphics litterly peaked in sun and moon and lets go and you cant tell me otherwise

[teal iron]

it's like
everything kills everything in one hit and the only nuance is 80000 layers of trap cards that disable a pokemon's entire turn, half of which are based on RNG

[pastel minnow]

sun and moon

[pastel minnow]

its a kids game

not dark souls

[peak folio]

Pokesouls

[teal iron]

Yeah but the problem is that this system is only fun when the NPCs are stupid

Because the mental gymnastics required to win against a competent opponent are just not fun for most people

[glad needle]

That’s another reason I never got into Pokemon. Too kid friendly and no good for adults

[teal iron]

they're really fun for people who play pokemon competitively and that's fantastic for them but "making the games harder" would make them impossible to enjoy for anyone who isn't a comp player

[pastel minnow]

i enjoy the gameplay ngl

[glad needle]

That’s what happens when you put dinosaurs in charge of game development

[teal iron]

Like I say the games are "shallow" but I do usually enjoy the experience

[pastel minnow]

the gameplay is realy good the graphics trash side content and bugs and cut dex is what i dont enjoy

[teal iron]

I would be asking for a refund if I had to deal with the likes of the Blueberry Academy Elite from the "hard" SV DLC for the entire game

[pastel minnow]

and why i hate modern pokemon

[teal iron]

-# not to mention that half of the "easy" things that people complain about are things that I'm like... this is just quality of life guy why would you not want this

[pastel minnow]

well your saying make it not turn based

i enjoy the turn based combat actualy

[teal iron]

EXP share is the main one
I understand that in most RPGs, only the active party members that participate in battle get EXP

[pastel minnow]

sometimes i want a turn my brain off game

[teal iron]

However in most RPGs you have 3 or more party members in the field at a time

[pastel minnow]

that needs to become toggable

[teal iron]

in pokemon you get 1, maybe 2 if they feel fancy

[glad needle]

In Palworld you can pet your pals, you can treat them when theyre hurt. They already have a hot spring, all they need is to add soap so you can bathe them

[teal iron]

And switching is possible but it drags the battle out and puts pokemon in danger of taking more damage requiring more healing items

so cycling party members around to distribute EXP is like
Just kinda stupid

[pastel minnow]

i dont like palworld they should remove survival elemts basicly what yall were asking for

[teal iron]

I didn't say pokemon should change to a non-turn based

[pastel minnow]

exp system is 100% fine

[teal iron]

I'm saying the way it's carried out is awful

[pastel minnow]

if they make it toggable it will be good imo

[neon goblet]

I wonder if I can post my unfinished art here

[teal iron]

Y'all are asking for toggleable EXP share from the company that made games where you unironically have to talk to random NPCs in back corners to change control and gameplay settings

[pastel minnow]

This is why pokemon is so bad

[teal iron]

You remember the ultra wormhole minigame in US/UM

[pastel minnow]

they have random stupid stuff

[teal iron]

If you wanted to toggle gyro controls in that minigame

[glad needle]

Just like anything else from Nintendo

[teal iron]

you had to go to the dimensional research lab and talk to a little kid way in the bottom-left corner of I think the second floor

[pastel minnow]

that was silly

[teal iron]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-gif-26460616

[pastel minnow]

usum was generaly good tho tbf was a solid game just shouldent have come out right after sun and moon

[teal iron]

if you wanted to toggle pokemon "following" you (16 years of 3D games existing in the world and pokemon still can't get it right) in SwSh Isle of Armor you had to talk to, get this
a little child in the bottom-left of the dojo or whatever it was

And if you wanted to adjust volume options in the same game, you had to talk to a random guy on the street

I don't really think there should be a toggleable EXP share honestly I think it's a really silly point

[glad needle]

That is so bad even for Pokeslop

[teal iron]

but to me pokemon will always have peaked at Flygon and Togekiss, and when they have Toby Fox compose music

[pastel minnow]

should some players like no exp share

[teal iron]

Those are like the highlights of the franchise everything else sucks imo thank you bye

[pastel minnow]

imma be honest with you the i dont like turn based battling makes me think you dont understand pokemon

[peak folio]

https://imageproxy.ifunny.co/crop:x-20,resize:640x,quality:90x75/images/94ddd48e4b2f1671381188fb4448517959ff701e6cc1d015889a3fb2cfbd1e6b_1.jpg

[pastel minnow]

i agree with toggable features but the exp share toggable being bad to you is crazy

[glad needle]

In my entire 30 year life, Nintendo never got me interested in their games. Pocketpair took a month to get me hooked

[pastel minnow]

breath of the wild

also over hating a company is just as bad as meat riding

[teal iron]

guy I don't think The Pokemon Company understands Pokemon

[pastel minnow]

pokemon peaked with oras smh

[teal iron]

Yeah, it kinda is

[pastel minnow]

and black and white 2 for post game battle facilitys

[teal iron]

"pokeslop" lol
lmao, even

perhaps, maybe, rofl

Actually what usually happens when I reach that point is I just fall forward out of the chair or couch and land on the floor laughing hysterically

[pastel minnow]

my rule of thumb is if you cant find one positive to say you are just overhating

[teal iron]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-issues-gif-13031152103567454559
Like this

[pastel minnow]

i can find something good to say about lords of the fallen 2014 smh

[glad needle]

What did Pokemon ever do that Palworld hasnt managed to do better

[pastel minnow]

combat is more fun

[teal iron]

I'm gonna say it and it's gonna sound mean
Music

[pastel minnow]

towns are more fun to explore because they actualy exsist

[teal iron]

I'm sorry but pokemon music slaps and palworld music does not exist outside of trailers

[pastel minnow]

the older games realy feal like they are lived in

[teal iron]

You have really low standards for "lived in"

[pastel minnow]

and the relashinships between people and pokemon are realy well fleshed out hell there is even a whole meme about typloshin

[pastel minnow]

game boy advanced and ds

[glad needle]

There are nasty memes about tons of Pokemon

[teal iron]

In my defense
I don't have any of those games

[pastel minnow]

again 3ds and lower is solid imo

[glad needle]

Gardevoir, Lopunny, Vaporeon, even

[pastel minnow]

sun and moon is realy well done takes good advantage of its small map size

the side quests in usum imo is when pokemon realy peaked with side content

if sv had stuff like usum had with side quests it would have been leagues better

[teal iron]

I just know that in every pokemon game I've played (all of them since US and a little bit of Omega Ruby), including remakes, 90% of towns are like a row or two of buildings with NPCs that either stand around or move on immersion-shatteringly-short paths

you walk in every room of every house and there are NPCs that stand there waiting 40 million years to give you random exposition or something

[pastel minnow]

i mean you want them to leave and never come back and you just cant get a item

[teal iron]

then you step 1 foot out of the town and suddenly there's no sign of human life anywhere on screen

[pastel minnow]

part of that is for gameplay reasons so lets give them slack there imo

switch games they def should have figured out something new tho

[glad needle]

Right! Instead of, you know. Calling you out for tresspassing into their homes like a normal human would

[pastel minnow]

ok hot take

[teal iron]

I think in Omega Ruby my character's house was one of two in a "town" comprised of two houses and a random public building that has no place being in a "town" with a population of like 5

[pastel minnow]

i like house trespassing it realy let you see how someone might live in that world

[pastel minnow]

hardware limitations tbf

[teal iron]

I don't mind the house tresspassing it's that every one feels so samey and shallow

[pastel minnow]

and its a remake aswell scarlet and violet and the switch games is where i would say no exscuses should start

[pastel minnow]

a lot of it probably has to do with hardware limitations on 3ds

[teal iron]

And granted they did do a lot better

[pastel minnow]

and tight crunch cause tpc sucks

[glad needle]

Maybe, but isnt it odd that the people are perfectly fine with you just walking into their house as you see fit?

[teal iron]

Ok but Delfino Plaza in Super Mario Sunshine, 2002

[pastel minnow]

its odd but thats just a video game thing

thats normal

[pastel minnow]

gamecube is way better then 3ds or am i stupid

[glad needle]

I dont know the difference. They’re both Nintendo consoles

[pastel minnow]

you cant enter a lot of buildings there tbf

[teal iron]

The gamecube has less than half the 3DS's memory

[teal iron]

Yeah but it felt more like a town

[pastel minnow]

i prefer smaller towns but more enterable builds to explore

[teal iron]

That would be nice if the enterable buildings weren't just 1 NPC and a nearly copy-pasted layout

Paper Mario is guilty of this too, but they keep the buildings extremely tight and less time-consuming to explore

you can't bait someone into exploring and then fill a structure with pointless dead-ends that take a long time to check

[glad needle]

If some blonde haired, elf looking dude with a sword walked in and started breaking my pottery for precious gems, I would be calling the police or attacking him with a hatchet

[teal iron]

that's like making a waterfall look like it has a secret and then nothing is there...but a dozen times

[pastel minnow]

i mean the games do add intresting stuff in it

like dioluge and trades and items

[rapid marsh]

Agreed. And Pokémon company should have stuck to that method.

[teal iron]

I was not impressed honestly

[pastel minnow]

AGREED

[rapid marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/link-gif-6068206

[pastel minnow]

it wasnt supposed to be some super realistic game

[teal iron]

Those things should not be hidden deep in complex structures out of view like they're some huge mega secret for the player

[pastel minnow]

it was ment to be a good introduction for new people to rpgs

[glad needle]

Me in angry Shrek voice: WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOME!?

[rapid marsh]

And tbh, the guys doing the rom games have been doing a better job at it any rate lol.

[teal iron]

And I don't mind this having been in the old games because like, yeah every video game ever that wasn't 24/7 violence and action had stupid almost pointless dialogs at the end of needlessly vast interior spaces that are otherwise insignificant

But what I just described was acutally my experience with Ultra Sun and Sword

[rapid marsh]

Nothing……. Just….. uh……. yoink!!!!!!!!

[pastel minnow]

i think sun and moon or x and y should be what they start building off of

[teal iron]

I haven't gotten around to actually playing Omega Ruby much

[pastel minnow]

go back to that add better post game and i think they will be able to make a solid game

[teal iron]

But SwSh and SM have like this one building randomly that serves no purpose but to convince you that this world does have a hotel and it's very real we promise

[pastel minnow]

keep building off it dont try to take crazy steps because they clearly have proven they cant

[teal iron]

I would prefer they took more crazy steps actually

[rapid marsh]

X&Y should have had the same development that black and white got. Black and white grew on me, X&Y had proper character customisation.

[teal iron]

PLA kinda slapped

everything it did different from mainline games was actually really cool

[pastel minnow]

oras was like x and ys goods mixed with all that old pokemon had good

it was almost perfect and should be the standerd

[rapid marsh]

Kinda, they removed the style choices we had in X&Y iirc.

[teal iron]

The only time I ever felt properly challenged in an engaging pokemon battle was PLA

[pastel minnow]

well add that and battle facilitys

[pastel minnow]

sounds like bro needs to play dark souls

[teal iron]

Every other pokemon battle has either been in the 80% 🥱 snoozefests or the 19.9% "this is BS and stupid and I hate this game" "competitive" battles

it's probably more like 90/10

[pastel minnow]

so your saying up the difficulty a bit

[teal iron]

maybe 95/5

[pastel minnow]

that i would agree with there should be a hard mode option

[rapid marsh]

Add that, battle tower facilities and the end game components of B&W2 + us/um, maybe even platinum version difficulty scaling.

[teal iron]

No, I'm saying to strip the battle system down to its solid core, remove all this added nonsense

and THEN we start experimenting with difficulty

abilities, EVs, the gajillion status moves, complex status effects that are unique to specific moves, all of them kinda bog down the battle system in this mind-numbing game of "if you have the right team then you win and if you have the wrong team you lose, and you don't know the right team until you find out"

the low difficulty means you always win by sheer force of will, so the high planning complexity isn't really an issue

PLA I think fixed it better by drastically lowering the amount of planning and effort needed to get use out of status moves, or just moves generally

[rapid marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/panda-eating-popcorn-akademiks-gif-4852066732879832234

[teal iron]

Like I know the competitive players insist I'm delusional but most status moves that are "really good" just look like a bunch of junk like why would I waste my precious move slots on this

[pastel minnow]

its there for more advanced play

which is actualy a w idea

[teal iron]

PLA's simplification made a few of them seem a bit easier to play around with because (1) it was MUCH easier to change a pokemon's moves and (2) I swear they messed with damage tables to temper the 1HKO tendencies

[teal iron]

PROBLEM: "Harder game" requires advanced play, and I don't want to engage in pokemon's idea of "advanced play"

[rapid marsh]

Because all they care about is efficiency. That has always been a core component of competition play.
Blastoise with toxic in X&Y = hit an enemy that’s just used fly/ dig/ dive. Kick back and lulz.

[glad needle]

In Pokeslop, you can’t even pet the Wooloo. Palworld lets you pet the Lamball the minute you catch one

[teal iron]

I am BEGGING you to stop acting cool and mature by calling it Pokeslop

That kind of attitude is why pokemon fans keep treating palworld as a nuisance

[full mountain]

i mean if someone finds a game good, they find teh game good. You know ScVi sells because some people like it enough, right?

[full mountain]

as well, i agree with Prima here... the constant hating on pokemon is getting tiring.

like yes, the games have issues, this is no lie, but it's possible to be critical of a product and the direction it's going in while still loving it

i love pokemon, and i love palworld, and i got critiques of both

but all those critiques are outta love

Prima is the same, Palworld is one of her FAVORITE games, behind whatever obscure GCN title she rants about from time to time, but she is VERY critical of some aspects of the game... but the critique isn't from a place of bitterness or hate, is from the love of the game and just wnating it to be the BEST product that it can be.

[teal iron]

-# i'm pretty sure it sells because whiny children demanding their parents buy it and the parents don't really care they just buy little timmy what he wants

[glad needle]

My biggest complaint is that Nintendo is so allergic to competition they try to kill it with lawsuits. The entire reason they stagnate in game development is because they have no competition

[teal iron]

-# also palworld will always be in front of those gamecube games, at least until 1.0 when I can render a final judgement but I find it unlikely it won't retain the spot

[full mountain]

iirc most of pokemon's playerbase are adolscents and young adults, actually, so

[glad needle]

And any money you give them is used to fund more lawsuits

[full mountain]

Welcome to capitalism; There is no ethical consumption

most of the money you spend can and will be used for bad shit

[teal iron]

this is not true we can eat the rich it will be completely ethical

[glad needle]

This isnt even capitalism. That requires a free market with competition

[teal iron]

Problem is, cannibalism isn’t healthy.

[teal iron]

🙄 we have science ok we can make it work...if not we can always just eat their expensive food and drink their expensive water

[glad needle]

Nor is coveting what anyone else has

[rapid marsh]

Nope. Capitalism isn’t that. Capitalism revolves around not only healthy competition in a market, but on if a monopoly can be established while saying you don’t have a monopoly.

Prime example would be to look up major brands, and look at who owns those brands. Ergo- monopoly without actually showing the consumers that you hold said monopoly.

[glad needle]

Dont covet

[glad needle]

It’s amazing how many adults play Pokemon

[full mountain]

Brother what system made all these corps so greedy for money, don't you think? It's all a racket, the world is built to be manipulated by the rich. The system is responsible for half of the crap we're in!

[potent stratus]

soy is the best

[rapid marsh]

People get told many things.
It’s up to the individual to decide if what’s being told, is truth, lies or half truths.

[peak folio]

That’s really not how that works.

[wicked verge]

I forgot about blue protocol

Sad to see it go

[peak folio]

It’s up to the individual to decided to believe it or look it up…

[rapid marsh]

And, what happens when you decide something that’s being told sounds fishy? You look it up.

Big case in point- PETA: “they’re for animals” yeah, they are, they’re for animals being dumped in bins after being euthanised almost immediately after stealing them from their homes.

[peak folio]

It is not up to the individual to decide if something is true. 😆

[olive seal]

Damn I smell I fight

[potent stratus]

peta does do some shady stuff XD

[rapid marsh]

Let me rephrase it then- the onus is on the individual to make an informed decision as influenced by the perspective being touted, whether that individual decides to research it, is also on them.

[rapid marsh]

More than shady. Blatant abuse really.

[peak folio]

That makes much more sense

[olive seal]

Ugh you took it so mature and well that you took the fun out of the argument uwu

I wanted to see blood

[rapid marsh]

The most effective lies also use an element of truth, or appeal to emotional attachment.

[potent stratus]

I'm aware, I remember going to a concert and someone from peta was handing out flyers on veganism so I told him off about a lot of the abuse peta does. My friend was mad at me after and told me I should have kept my mouth shut

oh well

[rapid marsh]

Doing the Samaritan work

You just need to watch for the fanatical ones. They’re the worst of the bunch.
Most vegans just want to graze in peace.

The truely crazy ones shouldn’t be allowed near carnivorous pets either.
Feeding a cat only vegetable matter= abusive as fuck.

[potent stratus]

oh yeah I've read about some vegans doing that

I personally don't care what a person eats but I have an issue when they try to push it onto others

[rapid marsh]

I’m just glad I haven’t run into crazy ones, you know, the ones who blockade the meat isle and make a nuisance of themselves.
I’m more than happy to skip a day shopping meat for me, but I’ll be fucked if I let someone prevent me from buying fresh meat for my cats.

[potent stratus]

I haven't run into any crazy ones like that

I get my meat from a local butcher though

[glad needle]

I hope your friend realized later, you did absolutely right.

[cunning shadow]

well meat is literally murder
so if you cant discuss it with open acceptance of that it's hard to take you seriously

you have to have some sort of mature philosophy about it

because it's a serious subject

[rapid marsh]

It’s also part of nature.
Lions are not going to cease eating buffalo just because a vegan demands it.

Same goes for cats. You can’t feed them a vegan diet and expect the cat to be “thankful” for it. That’s the epitome of cruelty right there, and it’s a slow death for them. A very very slow death.

Perhaps rather than vegans going all militant over it, which just reinforces public perception of vegans being far more of a nuisance than say, idiots who glue themselves to the road, perhaps they too, should keep an open mind and not demand instantaneous change for their own gratification.

[olive seal]

Yes yes but animals could be killed more faster / be given an oki life before

[frank coyote]

Fun little point on this! Humans have invented lab grown meat from non-fatal biopsies taken from cows! We can get murder-free meat! Neat huh?

Hold on let me get the link

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/lab-grown-meat-approved-for-sale-what-you-need-to-know/

Cultured meat!

[teal iron]

I was wondering when that would come along

Science sure is amazing

[frank coyote]

Science is cool

[olive seal]

I love tumor grown meat

[potent stratus]

Tumor grown meat 😭

[rapid marsh]

Have you seen lions hunt.
They eat their prey alive.

My brother worked in a slaughterhouse, and trust me, they die a lot faster than what a natural predator would. Less pain too.

[rapid marsh]

It is indeed.
Unfortunately cultured meat is a wealthy persons food.

It won’t be mainstream for the masses

[frank coyote]

Not yet at least.

[rapid marsh]

Yeah, I was about to add that 😆
And that’s “if” it even does become main stream and for mass consumption

[olive seal]

But predators don’t kill as many as we do per day , we should give them at least a proper life before eating them. They might taste better

[glad needle]

It’s illegal in my state

[junior hawk]

Do lions eat Buffalo? Didn’t realize they were on the same continent

[kindred sleet]

Lion prey includes
antelopes
zebras
wildebeest
buffalo, and some other grassland animals.

[olive seal]

Other lions aswell

And some humans

[rare osprey]

Simple solution. Eat people.

[teal iron]

me when I'm a british man making a modest proposal to end the issue of poverty and homelessness

[olive seal]

Yes, let’s clone ourselves, and eat all the homeless. Except the brains cuz that kills us

[rare osprey]

Yes consume humans

[kindred sleet]

There have been studies that human flesh is comparable to veal

[indigo kite]

Good morning everyone, hope you all have a great day today 💖

[full mountain]

While i do respect other animals as sentient beings and wish for all animals to live comfortable lives, Nature is also a cycle of food, hence the concept of a "food chain". While humans are advanced/smarter and are able to live without eating meat, ergo making meat not a neccsity, we also have to keep in mind that human life is not all about technicalities. Living a totally vegan life is far from cheap, and besides, quality of life and happiness is just as important as being technically healthy.

I feel there is a middle ground that can be found to keep animals happy and thriving while also taking some and using them for their resources. Native and aboriginal people have managed to find such a balance so its totally possible to find it in the rest of the world, ya know?

[glad needle]

Human beings never were meant to be herbivores, it’s literally that simple. If we were herbivores, we would be much weaker prey for animals that ate meat

[kindred sleet]

Wait all this because of some vegan thing?
Wait till they hear that plants scream in their own way when uprooted/cut
All in all let meat eater eat and plant eaters do their own thing

[glad needle]

Ive never heard of plants screaming

[kindred sleet]

Was a 2023 study
https://www.sciencealert.com/plants-really-do-scream-weve-simply-never-heard-it-until-now

[full mountain]

historically yea but now-a-days thanks to s c i e n c e humans are able to live a herbivore diet, if they choose too, and i respect that

[kindred sleet]

Stop eating meat and plants
Start doing photosynthesis lmfao

[tough comet]

but I love murder!

I can still hear them screaming

[full mountain]

also, technically murder is only a thing between humans, but i get what you mean, killing sentient life is wrong most of the time

[glad needle]

And here the vegans constantly act as if they’re morally superior

[kindred sleet]

Kills animal for food=not good
Kills plants for food=ok
Starts doing photosynthesis= stonks

[glad needle]

I have no problem with killing animals for meat, but trophy hunting

[full mountain]

*some vegans

[glad needle]

Trophy hunting is absolutely disgusting

[full mountain]

ya really gotta stop the generalizing, mah boi

@glad needle

[tough comet]

become a rock

[glad needle]

Why would you not eat the entire deer instead of just keeping it’s head on your wall like some sick trophy

[kindred sleet]

Bro just became god

[glad needle]

And throwing away the organs because “eww organs”?!

That’s the most nutrient dense parts of the animal

[full mountain]

Just sell the meat

I know I'd pay to make some venison jerky

Mmmm... Jerky...

[glad needle]

Although, the low demand for organ meat also means it’s incredibly cheap

[full mountain]

Ye

[glad needle]

Chitlins are actually great

[tough comet]

you cant spell organic without organ.
you cant spell meat without eat.

[kindred sleet]

[glad needle]

My animals also eat all the meat I can hunt for them

[full mountain]

Yee

Even chickens arent actually herbivores. Or turkeys. They literally eat whatever they can fit in their mouths

[barren sierra]

i expected it

HAHAHAHA

way back in like 2018 I ran into a vegan (probably a troll tbh) on discord and I jokingly said "yeah so why do plants get chopped up do you really think they don't have feelings?"

glad to know i was RIGHT
THEY DO HAVE FEELINGS

Now where'a vaelet I'm hungry for salad

[barren sierra]

When

Nani???

[amber pollen]

Not my screenshot

||but in all honesty it never registered to me what race that fellow was supposedly to be||

[glad needle]

Vaelet really needs to drop salad or produce it in the ranch

[grand falcon]

That's called being omnivores

And yes chickens are omnivores

Humans are also omnivores

[glad needle]

Yes, but that still means they eat meat
