[glad needle]

And yes, that is what God made humans to be

[grand falcon]

Because they do.......thats what it means to be omnivore

You eat plants and meats

Which chickens do eat both

[glad needle]

Farmers have to use several creative means just to keep the chickens from eating their own eggs, like golf balls or fake eggs filled with mustard

[rapid marsh]

Chickens are also opportunistic cannibals

[glad needle]

Yea, they will peck apart a dead chicken for food

Little winged monsters is what they are

[grand falcon]

That falls under being omnivore

It's kinda like a subcategory

[rapid marsh]

They’re just remembering their t-rex ancestry is all.

||yes they really do that||

[grand falcon]

Because they are scavengers

[glad needle]

Dangit, are yall trying to ruin poultry for me

[grand falcon]

I'm 90% sure it's only the roosters that attack the eggs, because of "jealousy"

[glad needle]

That would make it even worse

[kindred sleet]

Also male ducks take the female duck and fucks it to death at times if the female doesn't want it

Fucks the corpse as well

[grand falcon]

That's nature

And it's more like, accidently drowning

[peak folio]

That’s a rather explicit way to put it

[kindred sleet]

Same with otters
Yall think they so cute not knowing what they truly are lmfao

[pastel minnow]

Isn’t this the game series where there latest game sounds like a 13 year old wrote it

No, they are horrible in the wild too

Like, no one is gonna deny that dolphins are majestic as fuck

But my god, they are the direct descendant of satan

I’m sure it’s because of someone complaining so random things get censored

There’s been a great inversion between RL and online on what language is considered vulgar

And yet, here we are, still the same ol farming methods

[peak folio]

Probably made like almond milk or something

[pastel minnow]

AH YES THE WHITE SUBSTWNDE FROM THE THING WITH THAT NAME

That does not sound weird what so ever

[peak folio]

Stop it

[pastel minnow]

Mmmmhmmmm let’s remove the roach part so people don’t realize it’s from a bug

[kindred sleet]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[pastel minnow]

Cause roach sounds nasty

[peak folio]

Rooster milk

[pastel minnow]

It’s so creamy

[peak folio]

🪳🥛

[grand falcon]

Trust me, "roach milk" is never gonna be a thing

You'd need millions of roaches just for 1 cup of milk

[kindred sleet]

This species is unique because it gives birth to live offspring. Members make “milk” in the form of protein crystals to serve as food for their developing young

[pastel minnow]

No remove the roach make it just the first part

Won’t sound like something else that’s white what so ever

Who thought this was a good idea tho you should be executed

Let’s try the white stuff coming out of the animal who shared a name with a organ I bet nothing bad will come of it

[kindred sleet]

[barren sierra]

i Will not eat zhe bugs

[kindred sleet]

[barren sierra]

its not even milk its crystalized supstance

1000 females die for 100 gram of crystals

and that's assuming each yields the same

[kindred sleet]

[peak folio]

Just live off of mealworms

They’re called that for a reason

[glad needle]

We’re not eating disgusting bugs!

Bugs are inherently unfit for human consumption

[grand falcon]

Not necessarily

It's just not sustainable

[barren sierra]

but do you eat crabs and lobsters

[heady light]

couldnt do those things then either, thats why the kids where doing dumb stuff to distract themselves

[glad needle]

Shellfish arent insects

[barren sierra]

[peak folio]

Oh hey you forwarded something here without getting muted.

razer is a brand

[heady light]

they made my mouse, it has a numpad on it.

cause of them i now cant go back to a normal mouse with just the three buttons on the side

[peak folio]

Other brands have MMO mice too.

But I do like their marketing (color ways, naming products after deadly or mythical creatures, etc)

[heady light]

idk, ill stick to razer, im on my second after the first one i got laster over a decade

[night plume]

Razer discontinued the numpad mouse I like. The one they have out now doesn't feel right. I am going to cry for days when my mouse finally dies.

[heady light]

i only actually broke it by tripping over the lead and yeeting it across the room

[barren sierra]

i threw my naga after 2 weeks what a shit mouse

[peak folio]

The Naga changed?

[barren sierra]

No clue

[peak folio]

Two weeks outside the buyer’s remorse window?

[night plume]

Slightly.... They changed the size, shape, and number placement just enough that it is extremely noticeable if you went from a very old one to a current one

If you didn't use an old one, you can't tell the difference really

[barren sierra]

its so shit it wasn't worth refunding

[night plume]

Idk what naga you bought

[peak folio]

I think you’ll be able to adjust after a couple weeks but no point getting a new one if the old one works fine

[heady light]

well i hope my local pc shop has an og one unopened still whenever the one i have kicks it, but judging by my first ive got a while

[peak folio]

I’m particular to the basilisk / G502 aesthetic

[night plume]

I lucked out and walmart had an old model in the clearance section. I love it, I don't wanna convert >.>
The new ones feel so small to me and the buttons are too close rogether >.<

[peak folio]

If they did shrink it I can see the issue.

MMO mice are too small for me anyway since it matters where your thumb rests on those.

[night plume]

I wonder if HK got the crappy version of the interchangeable side panel one? One of the iterations of that had extremely bad reviews.

I don't have very large hands, and I find the current naga too small.

[barren sierra]

the only razer thing for my pc is the Emita microphone

[peak folio]

There have been eleven iterations in the Naga series, not counting the redesigned versions, with release dates spanning from 2009 to 2020.

Holy crap

damn 15 years

im old

[peak folio]

I know it’s been around but I didn’t know there were so many versions

Cause i did play wow with it

Mendella hit me hard

[cunning shadow]

You say "also" before sharing your philosophy to when I already told you to have a philosophy

so you were gaslighting into appearing that you had corrected me which is toxic. Then you shared some half baked idea presenting it as fact without knowing.

nah they released it as a tie in with sw:tor which was 2008

Man i just realized, Pokemon could see COD, since you can throw a thing (granate) at an NPC to capture their Token in the Mode Kill cinfirmed. The patent is so unspecific, it could be everything

[peak folio]

not if those patents get revoked.

[simple aurora]

If the Japanese judges or PocketPair lawyers can see this and point out, Nintendo could be screwed.

[odd raft]

I hope so. All 3 patens are bs. Mounting was used in hundreds of games before, Monsterfights are used in so many games, even Genshin had them. Pokemon needs competion so bad.

[tranquil obsidian]

the full patent is;
-throw object
-catch target
-target joins party
-throw same object
-release target now fighting for you

they're more likely to lose on the grounds of lost kingdoms doing it back in 2003

but people need to read the full patent, not just the first claim

[nocturne rune]

https://tenor.com/view/granturismo2-subaru-legacy-playstation-b4rsk-gif-23828826

[junior hawk]

Holy shit Lost Kingdoms existed

I forgot about that game

[odd raft]

but the mount stuff is used in any other game that hast mounts or is there something specific as well?

[tranquil obsidian]

i played it a lot as a kid, even had a friend to play 2 player with

[tranquil obsidian]

"a mount that automatically switches between two states such as flying mode when airborne, then if it hits the ground, changes to a ground mount mode"

this is koraidon/miraidon in Pokémon, and frostallion in palworld

it's not the mount part, it's the "auto switch" part

a defence so far is the argument it's qol that someone of basic skill in the field could create which is protected under the Japanese patent laws (someone posted before but im in mobile so it's awkward to find)

[peak folio]

TPC should be held responsible for Pocketpair’s legal fees too.

[tranquil obsidian]

i don't know how Japan handles it, but in Europe you can claim expenses and defamation damages

[peak folio]

There’s no legitimate argument that this whole think isn’t malicious and in bad faith

[peak folio]

Yeah in addition to all the fees

The timing of it too delayed the PS5 release from going alongside TGS which are very measurable damages.

[tranquil obsidian]

ironically , the lawsuit seems to have helped pocketpair, so claiming damages might be difficult but legal expenses should be standard

"Patronizing dimwit" about something I actually enjoyed researching. It's tiresome trying to have a conversation sometimes...

[odd raft]

The Griffon in GW2 was released with the addon Pathof Fire in2017

[night plume]

Loved those games. Wish there were more

[cunning shadow]

I guess you were just saying its fun not being patronizing

so that invalidates my insults

yeah lab grown is cool
apparently they can even make lab grown eggs

we just have to investigate how efficient it is

although in game changers the head of the heart association says all animal products negatively impact the heart

I need to investigate what in them does what to the body exactly

it's not super clear

[frank coyote]

That's the problem with text chats- we can't really get the true feel for the nuances in how someone says something. We could say something and in our heads it sounds nice but the receiving end doesn't take it that way.

[frank coyote]

To my understanding, the meat itself is just a culture taken from similar tissue, such as the thigh or ribeye area, so while yea I guess you could say it's not 100% cruelty free but hey at least they aren't murdered.

As for humans, hell even normal red meat has shown to be bad for our hearts. So I suppose it'll turn into "which is worse for me and which one am I willing to risk it with?"

For efficiency I couldn't tell you. It seems like it takes alot to make while another article will say it's very simple. I can't make heads or tails of it all. All I can say is, in order to get it to a level where we can buy it wholesale it would take ALOT to get to that point.

A pho place opened up, but they then sold to a friend of theirs. If I remember correctly, it said they didn't realize just how hard a business was to run and the friend was interested. So, it remained a pho place, just swapped hands and recipes.

[peak folio]

Is the pho still good?

[night plume]

I didn't get to try when they first opened, but, I enjoy the pho at the current/friend takeover place it is now

Except the "meatball" pho, those meatballs are awful <.<

Uncharted Waters was an actual recommendation.
But, I recommend looking into it b4 trying bc it is older and has to be a type of mmo you want to play.

Oh, you can always go play the first Guild Wars. It is still up and running with a community. Bonus: what you do there unlocks collectable stuff in GW2

google isnt helping the fact either

Keep raging.
You were given my thoughts on the matter, nothing more, nothing less. If you feel that someone stating that feeding cats vegan diets being cruelty is “half baked”, I pray you don’t have any carnivorous pets.
Good day.

[wicked verge]

Ok so what I’m seeing is that you can’t move your character during combat?

Am I correct?

[night plume]

I believe static combat is more when it is a back and forth exchange. I move/you move/I move/you move.
Or it is where you give commands and send the character in and what happens, happens based on stats and commands b4 start.

Then, I think dynamic combat would be where you are active in the battle, typical mmo style where you choose skills.

[wicked verge]

Ah

[night plume]

I believe that is what it is, I am not 100% sure.

[wicked verge]

I’m more eso combat where I can run and just go sword/gun free and just kill.

[night plume]

I tried to Google to confirm and it gave me some weird history lesson and dnd arguments.

[rapid marsh]

Static/ turn based iirc

[wicked verge]

Oh I’m not a fan of turn based

So I’m guessing I wouldn’t like swtor’s combat

[tough comet]

like chess

or monopoly

[rapid marsh]

I know dragon age origins had a weird hybrid system, where you could move around during combat, but the actual fighting was more akin to turn based where the attacks had a feeling of turn based.

[night plume]

I tried to do that chess thing with discord to get a month of nitro >.>
They wanted me to link too much stuff to that site <.<
So, I beat up Wumpus? That his name? 3 or 4 times then stopped looking at it.

[rapid marsh]

Brain is not doing thinking to words well this morning 💀

[wicked verge]

So like neverwinter?

Idk

[rapid marsh]

If Neverwinter online, potentially? I haven’t touched that game in a few years now, not since the decent into avernus.

[night plume]

Listen here Autocad >.>
You will line these up where I say to line these up <.<
We aren't having these microscopic gaps today >.>

It wins >.>

[peak folio]

There should be like a 1001 snapping tools to help with that ||they will not save you||

[tough comet]

https://tenor.com/view/daft-punk-change-the-world-meme-epilogue-explode-gif-20503761

[night plume]

The snapping tool keeps turning into a snap close instead of a snap exact

[wicked verge]

What’s Star Trek online’s combat like?

Anywho I might play more no man’s sky

[night plume]

It is close enough. Unless you zoom in so close you hurt your eyes, you can't see how unaligned it is >.>

I only know Star Trek Fleet Command (phone game) and I advise to run from it.

[peak folio]

What if it’s just the subpixels on your display only creating the illusion that it is unaligned due to the aliasing?

[night plume]

is this an actual possibility?

[peak folio]

maybe

[night plume]

Some coworkers are talking about the game awards o.O

[peak folio]

Idk check it from the backside to see if it’s actually the same side that’s offset?

[night plume]

I can't zoom in enough to move and snap it correctly. I can zoom in enough to see they aren't all snapped to the exact point, just can't move them bc it is too little distance.

I am sure there is a setting I am missing checked. We just upgraded to 2024 autocad and I am still putting everything back to the way I had it.

In all honesty, I am surprised I haven't been pulled aside to be asked why I am working in autocad. Since I am not supposed to lol.

[peak folio]

In Maya engineering level precision basically means fuck all so it was weird when Autodesk bought Alias in the first place but yeah, it does seem to be an odd thing for Autocad to let past QA…

[night plume]

I am pretty sure it is a me error since I am not very adept in the program. And all of my settings being gone, I am kind of like an old person getting aggravated when things don't work as I expect before I start fidgetting again to fix it lol.

Palworld better than craftopia change my mind 😌

[peak folio]

Argue about arguing

[hearty sonnet]

It's true tho, it's more popular by far, and it's put together better than Craftopia currently is

Less bugs & stuff

[olive seal]

You are not supposed to agree! 😭

[hearty sonnet]

Also it has WAY more guns

All Craftopia has going for it currently is more goofy sandboxiness, vehicles, and combat

[olive seal]

You guys have Ironman tho

Doc OctIronMan?

[hearty sonnet]

The numbers soeak for themselves, OSRS has like 350k active players and is in the top 10 of most played MMO games, while RS3 has like 60k daily players at most lol

Even if half the OSRS polulation is bots, that's still more than double lol

[olive seal]

I smell an argument

[night plume]

There you go, I caused the closest to a mod argument we'll see.

<a:1075803530931216458>

[hearty sonnet]

I played a lot of RS3 so I know personally that it's mid tier or lower

[olive seal]

I just had 10 nuggies from McDonald’s for a dollar 💵

[olive seal]

Life is good

[hearty sonnet]

Holy crap what a deal

[night plume]

Think it is a month long deal going on.

[olive seal]

McDonald’s app has that deal but only once per week

[peak folio]

I liked that 50 nuggies for $15 from Wendy’s but that’s a lot.

[wild mountain]

debatable. a lot of the content and qol changes osrs has is because they exist in rs3. they continue to backport it to osrs. Mtx and paying for services exist in osrs too.

[night plume]

They once gave me a coupon for that huge nugget box for like $5. I kept trying to find people to use it, but no one wanted it o.o

[night plume]

Oh, so all the changes that I hate come from there? Another reason I hate RS3 >.>

[olive seal]

I remember when McDonald’s had 40 nuggies for 20 dollars 😭

[wild mountain]

hating just to hate at that point but you wouldn't have osrs if not for rs3.

[hearty sonnet]

Only one - Bonds.
RS3 let's you literally pay for your skills, and depending on the time of the year, that skill gain can be good or phenomenally great

[night plume]

Check the app often. A lot of times their is a coupon for 40 nugget box for $10

[rapid marsh]

No fight there.
The moment they use the “you’re gaslighting” as their defence, just leave them be. That’s what vegans do.

[hearty sonnet]

Although I hate bonds TBH I wish they could get rid of those

[wild mountain]

why do you think skills are called buyables in both games?

[hearty sonnet]

I've never heard this term before in my life

[wild mountain]

you can literally buy both. pay others to do every achievement and skilling for you. pay for clues, capes, etc.

[olive seal]

Will do from now on, app amazing

[night plume]

I started getting angry at Runescape when they brought in the grand exchange and the trade limit >.>
To me, the game went down hill from there

[wild mountain]

buyables are the skills you can literally pay gold to complete faster. crafting, smithing, prayer, cooking, etc.

[hearty sonnet]

That trade limit & getting rid of PKing in the wilderness created some crazy riots back in the day lol

[olive seal]

You actually did start an argument with mods , damn you good

[wild mountain]

doesn't matter which game you look at, the rates in both are equally as bad.

[hearty sonnet]

But in RS3 you wouldn't even need to touch those skills, at least in OSRS you'd still have to train them

[night plume]

Just don't use it for breakfast. Usually, not always, it is cheaper to buy breakfast in the restaurant bc the deals don't make it to the app.
If you have a breakfast deal, use it, but buy everything else separate (hashbrowns go on sale often. Buy on app you pay full price, buy in store you can get $2 for 4)

[wild mountain]

not an argument but if people are going to nitpick only one when it's in both, they're being hypocrites and lying to themselves.

[olive seal]

https://tenor.com/view/hyperx-hyperxfamily-fuslie-cloud-alpha-wireless-writing-that-down-gif-25363944

I like you more

[olive seal]

You speaking my love language, food 😌

[night plume]

I don't often go there, but when I do, I try to be as cheap as possible >.>

[wild mountain]

so i cant lamp my skills in osrs at all?

cause last i checked, you can.

[night plume]

I drove to a car dealership earlier today bc they offered me free food xD

[hearty sonnet]

It's not the same & you know it

[wild mountain]

don't have to touch the skill whatsoever and there are lamps that scale.

its the same

[olive seal]

If a mod fights with another mod, can they mute each other?

[wild mountain]

doesn't matter if you wanna nitpick and put a price tag on it or not

you can do it in both and you damn well know it

just choosing to hate. that's it.

[night plume]

They probably have a rule that they can block each other, but must unblock for mod meetings or mod channel items.

[wild mountain]

discussions arent reason to block

[olive seal]

My money is on Shelly, he losing I think but he my fav mod I have to give moral support 💙

[wild mountain]

and all things considered me and shell afaik get along rather well.

[hearty sonnet]

Yeah I would never mute iori lmao

[night plume]

I was just answering the question, I don't actually think y'all are fighting xD just friendly bickering.

[peak folio]

mute that Loryi guy instead

[olive seal]

Shelly don’t back down throw ª counterattack!

[barren sierra]

Can mods even mute each other

https://tenor.com/view/tomato-confuse-whyiamhere-wtf-why-gif-6214294

like what's the point

[wild mountain]

why is that "a" up there?

[olive seal]

Already asked lol no they can’t uwu

[teal iron]

I'm pretty sure they can, but they can also unmute themselves

Like iori can time out shell, but shell can just untimeout themselves

[hearty sonnet]

That's actually not true

[olive seal]

Shelly try muting iori for science

[teal iron]

Maybe they changed it

[hearty sonnet]

We can't mute each other, or remove a mute from ourselves

[night plume]

Based on Discord hierarchy, you normally have to have a higher roll than someone else to be able to perform an action.

[rapid marsh]

That power, belongs to Bucky

[teal iron]

ok yeah discord removed the ability to timeout people of the same role or higher than yours

[olive seal]

Try the ban command then as a test

[wild mountain]

wouldn't work.

[teal iron]

but I'm like 100% positive that it used to be possible for moderators to time each other out

[olive seal]

On another mod*

[wild mountain]

bot doesn't have ability to mute us either.

[teal iron]

most moderation bots would still throw a "you need a higher role" error

[rapid marsh]

👀 so this means you can drop the C bomb 😆

[teal iron]

but discord itself would be like "sure thing buddy"

[wild mountain]

what is the c bomb? carbon?

[peak folio]

Carpet

[teal iron]

I know that if you both have role management you can give each other a muted role

...and take it away from yourselves
But moderators don't usually have that

[olive seal]

Wait can you say what Germany was in ww2?

[night plume]

I think long ago certain levels of ranking could still perform actions on the same level. I think it was removed due to issues of a single person of that hierarchy being able to remove everyone within and below them from the server

[rapid marsh]

You know I can’t say it as I’ll get muted automatically lol.

[teal iron]

the role management permission is kinda broad imo

[olive seal]

He enjoys baiting people 😭

[rapid marsh]

The national socialist workers union.

[night plume]

XD

[teal iron]

there should be a separate permission for giving roles and another one for making/ordering/changing permissions on them

[olive seal]

The non boring one uwu

[wild mountain]

Dm's do exist.

[rapid marsh]

That’s the proper name. The other name is the abbreviation and is an auto mute because it offends some people more than the Kardashians on repeat.

[olive seal]

But its history 😭

[night plume]

I'm the owner of a game discord only bc the group wants someone non biased at the lead xD
So many of them haven't figured out what their permissions are even though I keep telling them and I ger messages asking me to do things a few times a week lol.

[night plume]

One of the reasons I got rid of FB was that second one.

[rapid marsh]

And? It’s called censorship for a reason.
If it offends people, it gets censored into the dirt and eventually people forget :p
and once it’s forgotten, it’ll happen again.

[olive seal]

Inori offends me lets censor him 😌

[peak folio]

Yes censor that Inori guy

[teal iron]

Idk who inori is but yeah let's do it

[peak folio]

[wild mountain]

monster hunter wilds most anticipated game of the year. just make a new category for games decade+ in development and give it to gta VI.

[olive seal]

Why new name 😭

[olive seal]

Oh nvm that was weird

[wild mountain]

what...

[humble parrot]

He's losing it

[olive seal]

Nothing I must be hallucinating again uwu

[peak folio]

It will contend with Elder Scrolls VI and Squadron 42

[olive seal]

Elders scrolls is Skyrim right?

And what’s squadron

[peak folio]

Skyrim is ES5, yes

Mainline Elder Scrolls games used to come out frequently but then just stopped after Skyrim

Same with GTA

Seems after 2012 it became impossible to make a game.

[peak folio]

SQ42 is the sister game to Star Citizen

[olive seal]

Less profitable *

Better to resell what you already have with better graphics and a thing or two new 😌

[olive seal]

I bought gta 5 4 times uwu

(Thanks for explaining tho)

[peak folio]

Definitely not less profitable

[teal iron]

No it's definitely more profitable to dlc battle pass update an existing title than it is to get people to come back for Game Sequel

[peak folio]

Expansion packs were always a thing.

A higher dollar amount per user doesn’t necessarily pay off of it came at the expense of users, but it’s hard to measure what didn’t happen.

But GTA V and Skyrim certainly milked it on those games with so many rereleases

But having a studio working while nit releasing anything new is kinda murder on the balance sheet.

[lunar fractal]

AAA games nowadays have to be 4k made by 50 dev teams

[peak folio]

lmao

50 devs is like… idk Palworld

Talking AAA try 1000

[rapid marsh]

50 teams of 10 devs.

[lunar fractal]

Dev teams not individual devs

[peak folio]

Okay fair

I mean I’m not against the idea of AAA games but there are standards to uphold if they’re gonna do that.

Some studios though idk

Kinda fear Bioware’s best years are behind it.

[teal iron]

consider that you can take a team and re-release games and hash out updates and DLC that turns a tidy profit with far less risk than investing the capital into developing a whole entire new video game

[peak folio]

But what is everybody else doing?

I know they’ve been making fallout but hey

[teal iron]

like sometime around 2010 yeah the capital investment needed to make a good video was just really extreme, your team of 1000 would spend years working on it, they need huge sums of money to buy and produce art/sound/VA assets

And statistically Video Game 3 is going to sell less than Video Game 1, because you lose audience from 1 to 2 to 3

[amber pollen]

im watching someone stream the south park movie on twitch lol i forgot how great this movie was lol

[teal iron]

like getting all the fans of Video Game 1 to come back for Video Game 2 or 3 is a lot harder than selling those fans Video Game 1 Expansion Pass, and that became even more true when Video Game 1 Expansion Pass is a digital add-on and not like a whole thing with extra discs or catridges

[peak folio]

Sometime around 2010 everything remotely technically related went to shit

[teal iron]

It could definitely pay off more because Video Game 2 or 3 is gonna be a $50+ experience that gets lots of media attention that could draw in new fans, whereas Video Game 1 Expansion Pass will only cater to existing fans for a measely $20 or less

but it's far riskier because if it doesn't pop off that's a lot of time and money and man-hours that just went down the drain

[amber pollen]

all you kids

[teal iron]

well, it doesn't usually have to "pop off" but unless it does then you would've been better off with the Expansion Pass

although obviously it was still plenty profitable to make Video Game 2 becauase lots of studios did

[peak folio]

Reportedly DA Veilguard has no plans for DLC so I’ll file that one as a dud.

[teal iron]

But like Video Game 1 Expansion Pass was now an attractive option to companies that aren't here for the "art" or were otherwise averse to risk

like you wanna sell DLC on the gamecube?
Good luck
My halo 2 and Mechassault 2 DLCs came on a separate disk that we had to buy as if it were its own game and then run to install them

Imagine trying to do that as a business model

[peak folio]

Some publishers are much more keen on DLC than others, to put it lightly

[teal iron]

but on the Xbox 360?

[peak folio]

In the 90s some games would have stand alone expansion packs.

[teal iron]

DLC on the 360 and I assume its competitors (except the wii, kinda) was a very easy thing to do

you could put a button to buy the DLC on the game starting screen by pushing it as an update which the system would download automatically

[rapid marsh]

Hk-47- best assassin droid.

[barren sierra]

if you invest very much so

just like the other 2 droids you have to max repairs to even them with the Jedi characters

and once you get the unique rifle, you won

[rapid marsh]

You know, I never really found unique items in kotor2, at least I don’t think I ever did. I know there were lightsaber components that were locked behind certain questlines though.

[barren sierra]

there are a few character specific items you can get but otherwise anything goes

[rapid marsh]

I need to get back into kotor 2, damn games aged well.

[barren sierra]

HK specific rifle can be unlocked by 3 means, 1. installing the restored content mod so it appears when you raid the HK factory, 2. using the "good" modified core from the nar shadaa which eventually yields the assassin droid rifle from a group hk kill that jump you constantly , or 3. a random drop from any high level droid enemy

using the good core also unlocks a different ending when goto chases the small ball droid from bao dur

where instead of joining the "reprogramming" hk opens fire on goto

same ending can be unlocked trough the restored content mod by reprogramming the hk droid factory

where two hk 50s series arrive alongside hk47 and use goto as Target practice

[rapid marsh]

And to you too.

Big ass post and a thread

[hard peak]

Good morning.

Since yesterday, I have had an intrusive thought...

So, there IS the PICO-8 Fantasy Console, which they themselves admit is akin to an Emulator of a device that never was... I checked the specs, and it seems like the enforced limitations are very nearly identical to those of the original Gameboy.

Additionally, there is a successor in Alpha Testing phase, called Picotron, which, again, seems to have the limitations of a Gameboy Color... I think you see where I am going with this...

[peak folio]

…they want you to make classic style games?

[hard peak]

I thought of a Palworld equivalent to the original Pokemon games...

[hard peak]

Pretty much, as it has those limitations enforced, which forces programmers and artists to get creative and cunning.

I don't fully understand what this means, but apparently, this is a thing that can be done, as described in TV Tropes:

"One clever feature of the PICO-8 is that because its data carts are so small, the data can be steganographically encoded into the cart's image file - that is to say, the picture of the cart actually is the cart itself."

I would honestly play it if it was made, but I think we all know what would happen if something like that was ever made.

[peak folio]

https://youtu.be/5OK0hh0putU

[heady light]

if palworld was a pokémon game and not ark with digimon?

[peak folio]

More like if pokemon was real time and Ark in 2D

[heady light]

idk i only played gen1 really, that looks newer than that

[hard peak]

** N E U R O N A C T I V A T I O N**

[peak folio]

yeah, but the DS games play exactly exactly the same, this Demake played more like Palworld but looks like a DS Pokemon game

[pastel minnow]

Christmas wait be killing me

[heady light]

yeah, i have like all but one of my presents brought, and wrapped, and now i just have to sit here and wait before i can give them

[pastel minnow]

I wanna make a pokemon rom hack with pals in it lol

[pastel minnow]

God realy made Jesus born at the end of the year so we would all sufffer😭

Let me do Christmas already

[hard peak]

I actually thought of something more similar to that. I haven't been able to play much Palworld recently, so I don't know if there actually IS a Town area, but it was basically a Town area kinda deal...

[pastel minnow]

Well it would not be like palworld

It would be a pokemon game but with pals instead of pokemon

[hard peak]

Pretty much, yes.

[pastel minnow]

I just don’t know how to make good sprites

[hard peak]

That is how I conceptualized it in my Intrusive Thinking.

[pastel minnow]

I suck af art would need help making the pals first then I would maybe be able to do maps and stuff

[hard peak]

I can't program worth a damn, either, and I can't stand the process for long before my mind turns insane...

[heady light]

my problem is i cant get my head around actually programming, my mind keeps trying to think in spreadsheet formulas

[pastel minnow]

You don’t have to program for rom hacks

[hard peak]

Because with just 32 Kb of data available, I don't see how one would do the Pal Hunting deal.

[pastel minnow]

Tbf there’s a lot of tools already to do it without programming

[hard peak]

Then again, they DID do Doom for the PICO-8.

[pastel minnow]

I would just do a normal pokemon game with new characters new evil team and pals in grass Insted of pokemon

And similar pals would evolve into each other such as the penguin into the one with hat

Stop spamming smh and this is off topic

[hard peak]

Potentially, yeah. That could certainly work.

[pastel minnow]

How not to get help 101

[pastel minnow]

I think it would slap

I would enjoy it a lot

[heady light]

ah yeah, but then youd be working with nintendo stuff, and screw that company and their products

[pastel minnow]

I would just need someone who’s good at making pokemon rom hacks

[hard peak]

I probably would, too.

[pastel minnow]

Not true it’s unofficial tools for like emerald that are good

[heady light]

still, its nintendo at the core

[pastel minnow]

Yall can you go to the right chat

[heady light]

try #palworld-help or #dedicated-server-help

[pastel minnow]

And stop spaming the same crap like holy

It’s been said 50 times here

[hard peak]

I'm not sure if PICO-8 uses the same programming language as the Gameboy though...

[heady light]

or #palworld-general if you want help, but like in a horney way

[hard peak]

Because PICO-8 isn't a Gameboy emulator, it just has roughly the same limitations.

[pastel minnow]

Game boy advanced has its own dedicated tools

For pokemon

[hard peak]

Lemme check something real quick...

Apparently PICO-8 uses Lua as a programming language... Not sure if that helps.

[pastel minnow]

Game boy advanced has tools like I said

People have made dedicated tools to make rom hacking easier

That are free

[hard peak]

Interesting...

Could be useful for the successor, Picotron, which is built like a Gameboy Color...

[pastel minnow]

Only works on gba pokemon roms

I believe

[heady light]

https://www.theverge.com/games/2024/11/19/24300757/valve-steam-controller-2-roy-deckard-leak

i hope its just the steam decks controls as a controller

[hard peak]

Kinda looks to be...

[pastel minnow]

Imagine buying this it looks so bad

[heady light]

like the og steam controller were "fine", but the track pads on the deck are so much better

[pastel minnow]

I love no second stick or good d pad

[hard peak]

Hopefully this time without violating ACTUAL patents.

[heady light]

didnt microsoft make their controllers open when they did the xinput/games for windows live thing?

[glad needle]

Ikr, Steam isnt even for console gamers

[hard peak]

It is a remnant from Valve's Steam Machine project

[pastel minnow]

Just get a Xbox controller lol

[hard peak]

Which was a terrible Linux-running [("gaming")] PC disguised as a weird console.

[heady light]

man i want them to bring the steam machine back

[pastel minnow]

It’s already the best a controller can be

[heady light]

i have an xbox elite, but i want a deck style touchpad

[glad needle]

PC Master Race, here

[hard peak]

I do believe that, with the improvements done on the Steam OS and hardware advancements over the past years, it would be substantially more successful today.

If you can stick an RTX 3060 inside a laptop, you can probably put something stronger in a console-styled device.

[heady light]

especially if they manage to get arm to work with proton…

[heady light]

id swap out the keyboard plug-in thing that goes in the micro hdmi port at the bottom for a touchpad like the steamdecks any day, noone makes one tho 😢

[hard peak]

The most I'd play in it with a controller is probably Doom, Stardew Valley and potentially Little Nightmares, as it is optimized for joystick play.

Which is what makes Little Nightmares II so unbelievably painful to play in some sections

[heady light]

on the deck i play civ6 and stellaris a lot with the trackpads, i actually prefer to mouse now

just wish i had that for my pc

[pastel minnow]

What about litterly any action rpg ever

Like you realy playing Elden ring on keyboard and mouse

[hard peak]

Pretty much.

[pastel minnow]

How did you even beat melania

[hard peak]

Idk, I never tried it or checked the keyboard layout for it.

[hard peak]

Melania...?

[pastel minnow]

Play it it’s the best open world game

Use controller tho it’s so Mutch better for action games

[hard peak]

One thing I can say though, presentation is absolutely divine.

[pastel minnow]

Keyboard and mouse only good for fps games

And other first person games

[heady light]

if it controls like darksouls, then there isnt a control input that will make it feel good

[pastel minnow]

Xbox controller was fine for dark souls

[heady light]

nah, controller and mouse

[hard peak]

Controller and mouse...? How is that even comfortable?

[pastel minnow]

Use controller for action games and keyboard and mouse for fps

[heady light]

why is run, dodge and jump on the same button 🤮

[pastel minnow]

And controller for platformers

[pastel minnow]

Only a problem in the first game smh

[heady light]

left hand controller for analogue movement, right hand mouse for accuracy

[pastel minnow]

3rd game and Elden ring are great

[hard peak]

You know, my singular grievance over the Steam Deck is the lack of a camera system. Otherwise it'd be veritable for Invizimals emulation.

[pastel minnow]

You can also fix it and unbind jump

[heady light]

i only played eternal ring and dark souls 1

[hard peak]

Well... I suppose it'd work, though would also feel awkward for me.

[glad needle]

Mine is that it’s not a PC

[heady light]

it is tho

[hard peak]

I do believe you could turn a Steam Machine into a PC, because technically, that's what it is.

[hard peak]

Yeah, Steam Deck is pretty much "Upgraded Handheld Steam Machine".

[heady light]

like, its not a windows pc, but you get system wide proton so unless what your running uses kernel level tomfoolery itll run

and honestly if its messing around with kernel level stuff just dont

that goes for games with kernel level anticheat, just dont

or you can run windows on it, but ewww windows

[hard peak]

I have nothing (extreme) against Windows (then again, I ain't no programmer), but imo it defeats the entire purpose of acquiring a Steam Deck.

[heady light]

its basically a laptop with a different formfactor thats more suited to gaming than email

[hard peak]

Exactly.

Valve can't do a console, but they CAN disguise a PC as a console.

[heady light]

infact i brought a bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad for when i need to do that stuff with it

would love a desktop from them tho now theyve worked out a lot with steamdeck tho

[hard peak]

I mean... If they had the guts to remaster the Steam Machine, that is basically what you'd get

[heady light]

if they can hit a similar price bracket with more of a focus on performance now they dont need battery life, id buy in a heartbeat

[hard peak]

I think even the old Steam Machine was compatible with mouse and keyboard.

[heady light]

and avoid third party manufacturers like the og steam machines

[barren sierra]

The initial steam machine failed due to horrible os, remastering it now shouldn't be difficult given steam deck proves a decent step in the right direction

[hard peak]

Yeah, they have proven they can do their own devices with the Steam Deck.

[hard peak]

And its hardware was terrible, which is not likely to be a problem now with the extreme hardware evolution since then.

[heady light]

also now they have proton it being linux isnt an issue

[hard peak]

Indeed

[barren sierra]

do anti cheat games even function on steam os

[hard peak]

I honestly have no idea...

I think they do thoughm

I think Brawlhalla (which uses Easy Anti Cheat) works, and another FPS with the same system also worked.

[heady light]

well windows have said after the croudstrike thing they are going to stop kernel level support at some point, so even windows isnt going to support it

but the people i know that play cod/battlefield etc on deck dualboot windows for those games

but games like helldivers that run anticheat that isnt kernel level run great

[glad needle]

Or we could just install Linux, and tell Windows to get fucked

[heady light]

well yeah

i have nobara on my desktop cause i got annoyed earlier this year with windows repeatedly changing my default browser to edge and not letting me uninstall it

even with an nvidia gpu had basically no issues

definitely less than i was getting with windows

and havent had to use the command line once

only time ive used anything windows in months is i use a windows boot usb to format drives if there are secure partitions on the drive

cause windows boot media dont care at all about security/protection on drives

itll just let you wipe it

wait, tell a lie, my palworld server machine is on windows

i should chance that over to docker

[hard peak]

Maybe...

[heady light]

(for those that are wondering, i went with nobara over bazzite because bazzite doesnt currently have game mode working for nvidia gpu and nobara does)

and i went with one of those cause they are basically steamos3 clones

and i wanted the same ux as my deck

[hard peak]

I see...

[peak folio]

There are likely patents protecting the Steamdeck’s control layout so don’t expect anyone to do something identical.

[hard peak]

Exactly. Though ironically, Valve actually violated a patent pertaining to controls with the Steam Controller, which is why they were discontinued

And Valve had to pay 4 million in damages...

[peak folio]

That’s an oops, it sounds like.

[hard peak]

Potentially... I don't think they'd wittingly do it, and if they did, they seem to have learned their lesson...

[peak folio]

Oh for sure it happens.

I might be getting my signals crossed so don’t quote me but similar things happened to Nintendo. They licensed Immersion tech for the rumble they introduced with Star Fox 64 (and have seen with every game system since) but later on went without them for rumble on a future controller and got sued by Immersion.

[hard peak]

Noted. It isn't exactly a stretch that there would be accidental convergence in technological designs.

[tranquil obsidian]

nintendo in the 90s did some very.....eh.... things. so definitely believable =p

argonaut reviving in 2024 not related im sure

[hard peak]

PICO-8 is pretty much a revival of 90s Handhelds, especially when its enforced limitations are almost identical to those of a Gameboy.

[heady light]

well im still hopeful for their new controller

[peak folio]

Yeah that’s fair and perfectly reasonable.

[heady light]

if i had the time/competence/equipment/money id get a deck with a broken screen, and mount the existing controlla it had in a 3d printed controller case with an arduino

but that kind of project it beyond me
