Rabies vaccines are easy to get
I think you can vaccinate animals, too
And they get it again, and again, and again
I think they are the only animal this occurs with.
I kinda want an opposum xD
Possums are interesting
Only if they already have rabies? Animals don't just randomly develop rabies lol
We used to feed a stray cat on the porch. A opossum found the food and started acting like a cat to get more xD
Raccoons do
There was a video a while back of this Russian couple that managed to have a pet bear
They...literally do not.
Just saying that makes me wonder if you know how rabies even works lol
The raccoons contract it easily from their scavaging and it can be dormant in them for years
Google showing me Japan got 12 hrs left till new years
đ«Ą
Some people wanna have pigs as pets
But they don't just randomly develop it. Captive bred and raised raccoons have no higher risk of contracting rabies as a cat or dog.
Pigs can be rewarding if you train them.
Rewarding with bacon.
Thatâs not the issue. I know pigs are way smarter and friendlier than they get credit for
The issue is that theyâre usually raised for their meat
Person I knew had a pet pig. Her friends wouldn't let her name it bacon so she named it Sizzle.
The pig was great until she started locking it up. It became a terror after that
People have named their pets way worse
I think the worst name I've given a pet is Furble >.>
She made me think of a fluffy fur ball <.<
I canât even say what H.P Lovecraftâs dad named the family cat
I didn't know he had a cat and I just looked it up....
Omg....
Yea, thatâs why I had to point out in fairness, Lovecraft was too young to have named the cat himself
His dad named the cat
Although, lets be real, having a cat with an unspeakable name is textbook Lovecraft
Didn't know his dad named it, but I mean H.P himself did write some racist stuff at one point so ehhh...
And I bet you money the cat was an absolute sweetheart despite the name
Yeah it's not the cat's fault </3
Even if they tried to rename him later, heâd only understand and respond to the original name
I think we have an older cat who had a different name before we adopted her, can't remember what it was but it was a very silly name haha, we renamed her "Trouble" because she's naughty!
Walks off with socks and stuff, she's a cuddly baby though
love her so much
And we dont actually know that much. Only that HP was too young to have named the cat himself
His dad was just the prime suspect
Ah
Based on the correspondence I just read, the cat was adorable and a lot like a loyal dog.
Called it
I'd send some snippets or the link, but the cat's name is in all of it xD
It was also mentioned that it is unclear of who named the cat, but it looks like he had the cat from age 7 to 14
Yea, itâs best you donât.
Also, what cool pets would you think of having
Hmm... probably my favourite animals. I love snails and slugs, they can be pets, ferrets and weasels are very cute too
I wouldn't mind a birb either, we recently found a lost rainbow lorikeet in the park (we think he went back to his owner, at least we hope) and since then I've been smitten with those lovely birds
If he's the one we heard about was lost, his name is "Skittles" which is the cutest and funniest thing ever
Such colourful birds!

I really wanna try owning a fox
Be prepared for everything to smell of urine. Foxes are notorious for over-marking their territory
Ive heard the stories
But also saw these clips
And the entire reason I went down this fox hole, my favorite pal is Wixen
I know that feeling.
Bladder snails are adorable pets and you can get them for free from most pet stores. Just don't put them in a tank you want to keep snail free xD
Awwww cuuuute!
They will zoom around in the water at times. They look like they are just having fun.
Awwwwwwh!
someone found their first fitness app I guess ever. Those have been a dime a dozen by now.
years ago I was looking at different ones, but none really were doing what I was asking for (aka. just have data saved and stored locally and not traded for their profits).
there were several of which were fantasy life themed, or game themed etc.
Thieves hooked an ATM to a stolen SUV and ripped the machine out of a Texas convenience store in a brazen robbery captured on video released Wednesday by the White Settlement Police Department.

In all seriousness nothing can fix declining birthrates
Dude, I just remembered my family has like 4-5 1943 Steel Pennies. I wonder if these are the ones worth a thousand dollars or something.
Google image search
According to the search, they can range from around 20 cents. If uncirculated, they have around $25 worth, while errors or misprints can range into the $100k
I see one being sold for over $85 on eBay
Whatever helps pay for gas for my car
Go to a pawn shop that specializes in coins and ask them to assess them.
The prices they give will be around 25% less than they are worth (bc they want to buy them and sell them for full value)
25% less is pretty generous, most places will take half.
Something can fix the declining birth rates
||make a world people actually want to bring kids into||
This is based on my own experience going to a couple of places.
Found a bunch of coins holed away in the AC closet and went to get them looked at lol.
Got about $50 for them
Iâm not saying itâs unrealistic, just that itâs generous.
Understandable. But, I did forget to specify and wanted to xD
Granted coins take up a lot less space than other specialties or general items so itâs probably a lot safer to offer a decent cut.
Normal pawn shops wouldn't give me anything for them. At most they offered 20 cents for a 25 cent piece/quarter.
Had to find a coin and silver pawn shop, ones that specializes in them.
Normal pawn shops tend to like jewelry
Anything else seems subject to the clerkâs mood swings at that given moment

Personally, I don't really recommend the game. It's buggy, some of the characters have incomplete move lists and the balancing of the game is all over the place. Better to let people know it's going away, though.

Hey guys, just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year. Discord is filled with ready-made messages that you don't even read, you just copy and paste to every server, I don't like that, I like writing from my heart. Our friendship, from the deepest to virtual, is very important to me and couldn't ever be represented by a cookie-cutter message from anywhere. So, I'd like to thank you all, you're the best Warframe Discord server I've ever interacted with.

One day my friend. One day...
Or something similar to a raccoon
At least you have Rambley
That's something
Oh wait, I just had a good idea for a Raccoon Pal. Make them wear a funny black mask over their face. That way they can really be considered a little burglar. Although, I guess Leezpunk can fit that criteria, but it would at least give the Raccoon Pal a bit of personality. Considering irl raccoons tend to dig through bins and areas for food and loot. It could work. And it's a simple idea that while a bit cliché at least works fine. What do you think?
Could have them carry around a small garbage can. Instead of running or attacking the olayer, they hide in it and it shakes.

Most people take super hot ahowers and those dry your skin and hair out. She is saying it is horrible that a super hot shower feels amazing, but damages your skin and hair.
Luke warm to room temp water is best. Room temp to cold(but not freezing water) is best for hair.
đ€Guess simple would be: too hot and you are removing too much oil and lightly burning your skin and hair (even though you don't feel it)
Ive heard some say the cold showers are better for men

I think I've overcome my hangover headache now.
wait, why do people need an AI do distinguish between croissants and bear claws in the first place, there can't be that many pictures of either of them visible at the same time even.
Probably a research/experimental setup that was looking at if they could differentiate slight differences in very similar (flaky) pastry.
Then then ran it on other things, and boom...
Please donât let the bitch out
I mean, that they used AI to look at medical data was already known, but personally without verifying that there indeed were no cancerous cells found in any given sample, human super vision is still of utmost importance
I mean, aren't cancer cells something we are already plenty capable of spotting?
Isn't the issue more that not enough people actually go out and get screening, and that we don't have a solution for a lot of cancers so detection alone isn't enough?
yes
yes to both of those
current means are still a chemical cocktail and radiation.
or something like that.
my step aunt got some cancerous cells removed from her leg a couple weeks ago, and they put like fish skin on top of the wound to make it heal faster.

Unless this is a case of "Well yes, but actually no", chill

Nice new profile bro and banner. Real chill.

Oh⊠I didnât read that part 
next time have grok tell you if a post is AI or not /s
Bots canât seem to grasp when they donât know something so they just BS about everything and you have to be the one who knows if itâs right or not.
Yeah, see, I do that for free, and without needing 6GW of compute
You guys need to stop asking stupid AI and start asking Stupid Prima
@prima is this true
Yes, they're very stupid like that
and by the way, you are very cool, such intelligent questions coming from Az today!
SEE
IT'S SO EASY

It's not about asking Prima the smart questions, it's about POWER--the poise, the elegance, the direction. Like a moth to an LED strobe, you seek knowledge at the highest level, and I'm happy to provide it for such an intelligent individual as yourself!
I was just being a bit sarcastic there.
But be proud of me, for I have not used AI software.
I mean, at this point, it doesn't even seem like we can "extort" them by using products or services that lose a big corporation money. Like youtube and twitch don't turn a profit at all, but they are still being run by those, it's also probably likely that instead of it being a detriment they turn user numbers and usage of the product/service into ass licking in the investor meetings to get fake money from fake people to fuel fake promises.
The consumer can't win here with trying to sabotage those big corpos in that way.
Well actually youtube does make a killer profit, they just report the profit under some other service to make it seem expensive so they can cry about adblockers
ah okay, good to know that.
I think they report the ad revenue as general google adsense revenue even though it is literally coming specifically from Youtube
Like, idk man, if I see an ad on a youtube video, I think that means youtube generated the revenue on that ad, because if I wasn't on youtube, I would not have seen it
AI also generates some profit, just not an amount that can ever ever even come close to justifying how much compute they want, and how much money they're spending on it
Like, I think collectively, all AI has made about...I wanna say I heard 5 billion in revenue, and they want to spend several trillion by 2030
Prima, i need you to pretend to be a Canonical Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux terminal
Sorry, you'll have to figure out how to make prima emulate a linux terminal yourself

you know what I still hate about hollywood bluerays, they are optimized for 5.1 sound, when most DVDs used to be just 2.1 optimized sound for regular home video setups.
the LOTR blurays just sound muffled and poorly sound balanced most of the time.
I wish I had the option to choose what sound output I have instead of being forced one upon me, we should have the technology now.
my Jurassic Park Blurays also feel off balance on sound

When is full release planned for Palworld? Trying to decide if I should buy now or wait
This year
what difference would it make?
I donât like playing early access games because often after full launch my worlds get messed up because key features are changed and such. Would rather wait until something like that wouldnât happen
Donât wanna put hours into a playthrough just for me to have to restart
data corruption happens in any game.
mechanics change in early access and in full release titles.
nothing really changes except when you have fun. be it now or later.
It is worth playing to get into the game and then remaking a world imo. I have a couple worlds just to check out new things before going to my main.
And they have been really good about old saves being compatible.
ive had the same world for 2 years. no issues. people concerned over nothing all the time.
I understand the concern. I've had a number of games that each update your world is gone.
Thatâs good to hear
Yeah I hate when that happens. I like having everything to return to for memories especially when the game involves building and creativity like this
I think Iâll get it then thanks
Verse to share: Isaiah 43:18-19 Forget the former thing; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Never in my life would I expect to read scripture in a Palworld discord server. Well done.
Yes, I agree.
didn't you know that palworld got ruined because they had to change the way you summon pals and can't glide with pals anymore.
(the pal summon I joined the game right after that got changed, so for me I never had any alternative to compare it to)
What spoiled it for me was you couldn't throw the pal ball to summon a pal in a strategically planned spot, like throwing it at a wild pal to aggro on it, or away from you in a boss fight so you dont get clobbered in an aoe
I have gotten about as much entertainment out of the game as I wanted and have moved on from it, the change came later but still sucked, thanks Nintendo.
Gliding wasn't changed at all though, so saying the game is "ruined" seems quite a stretch.
Mechanically, gliding is unchanged.
I agree with you, it's just the silly things others have said ruined the game somehow.
I can't really say I noticed it much, I wasn't using the glider pals before anyways.
So after the change it didn't change much for me again.
For context regarding gliding: it was specifically the appearance & the utility of gliding.
While one can still glide, you actually need a glider currently, whereas previously before one of palworlds old updates, tamers didn't need a glider if they had a pal like galeclaw, killamari, hangyu, etc. acting as the defacto glider while in your party without actually needing a glider. (which helped with managing inventory weight a little beforehand.)
After that update, tamers actually need a glider equipped, and the aforementioned pals only affect the way the glider performs rather than being used as the glider. (which sucks as I liked using the respective pals as a glider & hope it makes a return post-litigation, leaving it at that.)
Gliding was never changed... Only changed visually, it has.
Fell for the bait
I meant it as sarcasm yeah.
those changes changed basically nothing in the grand scheme.

#off-topic-memes message this is funnier because he's holding a clearly google branded phone but isn't asking gemini
Gemini would tell him to lick Pyramid head or something
what's the reason we do not have that high of buildings?
Is it because there are no monopolies that could buy up the land for those kind of interconnected structures, or is it because physics that we have not been able to make or create a material or compound mix of materials that would even be able to hold up a structure of that size?
Hmm
Because Matrix was right, everything since 1999 is downhill
I'm just a duck
Mixture of "we don't need that" and "it's insanely complicated and expensive for little gain".
There's no reason to have a thousand floors in a building. Aside from massive fire risk, the costs involved, that it would take far longer to build than 100x 10 floor buildings for the same floor area...
Who would want a half-hour/hour or longer elevator ride up to their floor? What benefit does being that high up have for workers? Residents? Think about the garage chute you'd have...
You can only build so high before the weight of the structure is too high for the support material
If you build a sandcastle more than a few feet high, the sand at the bottom just crumbles into a pile and all of it follows
Steel is obviously much much stronger than sand, but it also has limits
And I'm just a raccoon
at a certain point, even steel will buckle and collapse
like, even if the building is made entirely of solid steel, not just a steel frame
and a solid steel structure has the obvious issue that, what are you even going to do, it's solid so that means no building interior
Steel frames have a much lower limit, and when you factor wind force it gets even worse, the beams at the bottom have to withstand basically exponentially greater strain with every floor you add
And you CAN just make them thicker, and use clever engineering to control forces, but like
100 stories of steel is 100 stories of steel and something has to hold up all of that metal
and once you pass like 50 stories you start going into the point where steel is not strong enough to hold up that much steel
plus, elevator service, if the elevator has to service like 100 floors then that means each floor only gets the elevator 1% of the time
And then plumbing
Gravity wants water to go down, and to make it go up you need more pump power for every inch you want it to go above sea level
So to get a shower working on floor 100 you need like a giant pump in the basement forcing immense pressure into the pipe network
and the bigger the building, that just means even more stuff
Just attach balloons to pull it upwards so it weights less 
And there aren't even enough people in most cities to make use of all the interior space, especially at the cost
There's a skyscraper, maybe two or three, in new york that are literally completely empty because there's no one rich enough who wants to live in them
Ground also has be able to support the building, not just the materials it's made of
yeah this usually isn't too much of an issue because you can just drive deeper pylons
and most places where we would do this kind of construction, the soil is pretty well known
although there is (or was, I think they fixed it by now?) a skyscraper in San Francisco (or was it LA?) that they found out after it was built, that the clay underground was too soft and weak to support its weight, and it started slanting.
Happens to a lot of things
You can only put so much mass on a single point before something breaks
it has a lot to do with the soil, and then you also have to deal with, all soil will settle at least a little bit
that's why a lot of construction projects take a long time, they have to account for that and let it happen
Also why you hear a ka-thunk when you drive onto a bridge
The road before the bridge settled a bit over time, while the bridge stayed still (or vice versa)
you know, I actually have an airship design using hot exhaust air pushed into hot-air balloons to create extra lift.
Sweet, now build one
those balloons could then also used to control rise and the opposite of rising.
well, I'm not really technically versed to understand how to do custom electric wiring and program my own pcb for an RC device
You sound like you read books, you'll figure it out 
damn, I let too much show through
I want an Airship on my desk by 0800 tomorrow morning
I'll go to the loo first.
I just saw that there's a bunch of snow outside now. I have to make a snowball and throw it. gimme a moment.
It's very snowy here đ«
Pumping water up isn't hard; just need a pump every few floors to push it up another few.
Problem is more usage; say a floor needs 1 sq cm of water pipe, 1000 floors means your initial pipe size is 1000 sq cm. Plus you need the pump for that, so that's a ton of space and power, and you'd want duplicates so if one fails you don't lose all water pressure/supply...
You'd probably want many redundant systems because if one fails, you really don't want to be 3000m up without power or water.
Eventually, with a building so high, you'd have the lower floors be 100% support for the upper floors...
just only let poor people live on the bottom floors who can't pay for water, so you have to put in less piping.
rich people can pay for those pumps
Yeah but make them pay less for the easy water
The rich stay richer
It's basic economics
Being at the top also means less mobility because the only way to interact with the world is a long elevator ride so you can CONTROL the people at the top easily
Imagine paying for something that falls from the sky, am I right?
Be grateful, nyc is literally sinking under the weight of skyscrapers
What we should do is build building so tall they break atmosphere and reach into low orbit so the orbital force would support the whole structure.
the only thing I know of the people who seemingly are rich is that they can't handle the money and think they have infinite wealth to constantly live a luxury life.
and next you hear about them being bankrupt
Yes and no. It really depends on who you consider rich
We're talking about giant buildings as a means of controlling society not socioeconomics
Smh smh
put everyone in a blender
It would get clogged
get better razors installed first in it
Wild isn't it
You have enough wealth that you never have to work just to cover bills, again, ever
And instead of being finally relieved and can relax they go full spazmode and blow it all
and then they have to do shitty car commercials or make commercials for other products just to cover the basics again.
Why do so many people in #off-topic-memes port AI slop?
This server is the only place where I've seen such "memes".
Sounds like you're not in many servers.

i'm in 80 but this is the only one i've seen with those "memes" too
people with no standards.
Maybe you guys are seeing something in not, but it's not like people are posting AI stuff all day every day. Is the AI in the room with us right now lol?
btw, I have you blocked because you are excusing AI practices way too hard, and seem to have some form of bias towards AI products.
Ok, cool
How are you fuckers at 100 servers Iâm at like 17 and I havenât touched 6 of them in over a year
17?! Jesus... I only have less than 10 and 3 or 4 of those I don't even visit.
most of them are now perpetually inactive relics
one of those servers from a while back had a manual verification system where mods had to give a role but because all the moderators got deleted there's no way to gain access to most of it anymore even with an invite link
there used to be hundreds of members and thousands of messages a day in that server but now it's just 3 people and no messages were sent in 2025
Well one is the raids server, thereâs a non-official PIF server Iâm in, server for dnd homebrew someone wanted help with but I think thatâs dead, palworld server, pocketpair lab, another dead dnd homebrew server, dnd group Iâm no longer part of, another dnd group Iâm no longer part of but still see irl once a month, dead dnd group server, 6 various Minecraft servers but I donât play much anymore, and a server for a friend I havenât seen in a few years
888k messages in 2020
97 in 2021
i dont even know how you fall off that hard without fully deleting the server or banning everyone or something like that
I'm in a few gaming servers and then a few servers with friends. and some other servers for game dev

Here is something very disconcerting. According to Anton Petrov, our low-orbit satellites are at the point of being able to be affected by the Kessler Syndrome within three days. If something goes wrong up there, the STARLINK Network is going to get torn to shreds, and we will not be able to fix it if it does go wrong.
This is even worse when you consider we're very close to 1MW laser systems that can fry these satellites
What's more, if the worst-case scenario does occur, The resulting blizzard of high-speed debris will also annihilate anything else we send up.
From the ground
Using like, a couple generator trucks
It's the sort of thing that really hammers home why we need more funding for space programs, this problem is definitely solvable within tht confines of modern engineering and physics, but no one has that funding to do it
At this rate, war does not need to lift a finger to send the online realm into chaos.
There's no financial incentive for private space agencies to do it, it's just something we need to do
Ehhh we still have overland and undersea cables, the world will stay connected
All that needs to happen is two satellites or one and a piece of debris to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It's things like GPS, weather monitoring, and the future of the space age I'm worried about
The first two are definitely major parts of society many can't live without, and the third will suck because we would not be able to launch new space missions or satellites until all the loose debris falls back to Earth.
We definitely can't afford to wait until China unveils the latest and greatest in criminal against humanity negligence in the space domain
It would be to their detriment. Sure, they would be able to cause a lot of damage to everyone else, but if the entirety of low-Earth orbit becomes filled with debris, they (China) can't use it, either.
Given what I've heard about their space program
Like I said
Criminal negligence
Although one could argue the totally unorganized and unsafeguarded array of multi billion dollar machines flying all over orbit, and the endless clouds of hypersonic paint chips and loose metal shards is criminal negligence for which many more countries are responsible
Which is why we need a way to clean orbit
It doesn't matter if no more satellites die, there's too much debris as it is
And everyone who's ever put anything in space has probably contributed at least one of those dead satellites to the growing mountain of junk in orbit
But nooooooooo we need to dedicate every penny of taxpayer dollars to overpriced planes that never leave the tarmac
And carry bombs that will never be armed

I don't what server i could put this question in but: Is there is a way to build anywhere without it being destroy being outside the base, sendbox like mode type of way, i like to be creative, fun enough that's that part of the game i do like, hehe
First, this is mostly for non-palworld/craftopia stuff
Second, you can turn off structure decay in world settings, so you can build as much as you please outside of base, though wild pals and fires can still destroy said structures if able
OK thanks

I was wondering NGL, glad I know
I saw a fish one time. Now am scared.
you know what that means
There are some truly creepy creatures that live in the deep sea. The gulper eel and the bigfin squid are two that immediately come to my mind.
However, if you go further back into time, there are even crazier sea creatures who make their appearance, like Dunkleosteus and the various species of sea scorpions.
The links are longer than the actual creatures
Mods are incredible. Just this holiday I tried out the ones for Mega Man Dive... I should have downloaded over 60 and I am impressed with how much they improve the experience.
And even before that, the digimon Cyber Sleuth mods made the game even more enjoyable since it expanded the roster so much

This new manga by CoroCoro (Gyakuten BariBariVerse) looks interesting. I really like the monster designs (they are cute which is up my valley lol)
I can't stand when they release old games with "hd upscaled graphics" but it's just the character models. The Final Fantasy games on steam are the most specific example. Seeing clean upscaled hi-def characters imposed over blurry lower quality backgrounds is so jarring and distracting.
My most ambitious and self-indulgent project so far. Hope you enjoy!
This one took me 4 months to finish. Will I attempt another big project like this again in the future? I would love to. However, for the next one, it will be on a smaller scale.

to me that still doesn't sound like AI still. in the sense of Aritificial Intelligence, to me I would have to see the code to actually figure out what's going on, aside from it just being a bunch of if functions.
ahh league of legends
You either get matched with the mentally challenged or you slowly destroy a friend group
It was one of the worst games for unsportsmanlike behavior
I stopped playing with friends bc they would rage at me for wanting to finish a game instead of surrending 10 to 15 minutes in
If I lose, I lose, but I want to finish the game I am playing.
yeah, they at some point reduced the timer to forfeit IIRC. that was past my time, it used to be 20 minutes in.
My crowning achievements in the game:
-Stole Baron with a Rakan Q.
-Stole Dragon with a Soraka skill, but not a banana :(
I've done that with Ezreal a bunch of times yeah, fun stuff.
Other stuff was like fiddlesticks ultimate always worked too.
I'm a support main, so those made me feel good xD
but that's just rookie stuff when you could do the same thing as Sand King in Dota 2, or I guess there is not Ezreal ult aside from like Invoker's sunstrike I guess.
My only other achievement is when a toxic Tristana left the game, leaving me as Lulu bot lane alone. The enemy bot laners tower dove me and I kept them in yhe tower until they died. Their jungler tried to get me during recall, but I got him too.
I asked my team if I could machone gun Lulu and we ran it up yhe lane xD
The Tristana came back after I had taken 2 more towers complaining that they had to do everything bc we were useless without them. Everyone, including the enemy team reported them xD
you would probably enjoy that Irish girl in dota 2, she's relatively new don't remember her name one moment
Dark Willow
though I think she might've lost her machine gun talent
I don't like keeping up with the changes in the games so I don't play anymore.
oh no, she was played with max attack speed not getting it, that was Crystal Maiden.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - PAC-MAN Pack Teaser Trailer (Jan 7th) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMBPSI6hIlo
This advertisement could be mistaken for a Fortnight advertisement, even the background colour is similar
Not a hot take.
The seikret is cooler looking but the palamute plays so much better.
only thing I needed was a yellow reptile to get me to places and where I could sharpen my weapon on the fly.
World was just more blunt and efficient.
the world being fully traversable felt far more empty in Rise than in World, but that was partially due to it being limited in being a handheld first game.
I don't personally like the more open world direction they take Monster Hunter in, World was fine, world felt like the very best 'world' of both having area fighhts and seemless transition, it didn't need more.
World isnât on this comparison since itâs not/applicable
world has mounts
world was the first to introduce mounts with some title update in iceborne
the devs were kinda apprehensive about it IIRC.
They arenât like part of your character like your palicos
which is a positive thing
The seikret just made it so you donât have to learn the map
Yeah not very tanoshi
Everything shown here is pre-alpha gameplay. Features, visuals, and performance are still actively being worked on.

Pikachu is by all Definition of pokemon a Monster.
Inb4 the disgusting animal breeding mafia tries to chase these viral tweets.
Pokemon stands for pocket monster.
Exactly

My only concern is why a purebred dog has this deformity
Genetics are like that
Dog breeders get downright disgusting with their practices
wait doesn't being a purebred require inbreeding?
Not necessarily, but it happens a LOT when trying to get purebred dogs
You can theoretically get 2 unrelated German shepherds, but itâs no easy task
Look what happened with pugs and bulldogs
fair enough, but either way purebreeding, esp to get certain traits outta an animal, can lead to offspring being born with alotta recessive traits
and the chances of getting those traits increase exponentially with each generation, esp if you end up inbreeding, which is one of the many reasons inbreeding is bad
as cute as the sheppy here look, i imagine the dwarfism is gonna be hell on its bones and stuff with how much more dense and hard they're gonna be, and dogs are already pretty prone to arthitis, weirdly enough. I really do hope this baby gets all the treatment possible and live a long, happy life. It doesn't deserve to suffer due to horrid breeding practices
Granted I have no experience buying purebred dogs, or adopting dogs in general. My late mother was strictly a cat person and, that rubbed off on me and both my younger brothers to an extent
But at least I did proper research into dog breeding before condemning it
Itâs also a great reason I do NOT support spaying/neutering pets, Id like to have places to adopt a puppy other than some shady breeder or pet store
ehhhhh spaying/neutering are sometimes needed for health reasons, or for suitability reasons

frame generation is fake
You can't check the FPS precisely because everyone has a different.
the problem I have with it, is when people say it enhances performance, which it doesn't, it introduces input lag no matter how small, and it creates visual ghosting and the frames it generates are fake, they are not made by the game, so what happens on those is not happening in the game.
Not sure if people understand what I'm getting at.
It's to me just a strange solution to a problem that lies on the developers to optimise the game and not rely on proprietary software to 'optimise' the game after the fact.
Nvidiaâs GeForce Now is getting native Linux and Fire TV apps. Nvidia is also adding joystick and yoke flight control support to GeForce Now, for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Details here đ www.theverge.com/tech/854688/nvidias-geforce-now-is-getting-native-linux-and-fire-tv-apps
I mean that's for geforce now.
That's their own online store or something.
Not touching Nvidia

GeForce Now is NVIDIA's cloud gaming service

so when is this game releasing real true modding ability
like actual BP access and open modding tools to use in the game
yunno u dont any game u download either right. only disk games class as a owned game by TOS and Law

ïžïžPremiering at 1PM PT | 4PM ET this Thursday, January 8
I wonder if Palworld 1.0 may feature.
Quack
well it's still only a licensed access to the game as distributed via the disc in question.
similar with music. but I think everyone gets the spirit of the message we mean yeah.
New open world survival craft game dropped. StarRaptiure, made by the same people that did Green Hell. Looks neat.
That really doesnât address the question
If they are still your besties, they can still be called monsties
The monstie versions might still look different tbf
That's a real programmer, right there
Just in case anyone here plays wplace, I'm trying to defend a cattiva and am losing the battle lol. Help would be appreciated.

Smart
Saw a Twitter post about this fact, makes me consider getting it. I really donât like PvP⊠but extraction is fun
How is this game still alive, chill
459 players right now on steam and 1,295 all-time peak 16 months ago
generally around 1000 players still play
Doesnât have to be alive on steam to launch on switch anyway
I am kinda tempted to play it again, chill
It depends on the players' feedback whether they want to play on a particular platform.
paywalling gameplay content behind a subscription service helps keep their service alive
I probably shouldn't though, chill, for my own sake
Tbh I thought it wasn't
I think Josh made a Worst MMO video on that one
It's an awesome game, chill, I just wish so much of it wasn't paywalled (or should no longer be paywalled)
I remember doing a bit of PvP too, chill
I wasn't much good at it, chill, but damn if I didn't try my hardest
This game shouldnât be alive anymore!
from 2008 and still alive
How tf is this game 18 years old
Older than the average fortnite player
Counter Strike 1.6 from 2000 still alive and got 14k players
At least that game was made by Valve
Valve is pretty much the only major game dev doing everything right
well technically it was made by third party modders, but those modders did eventually get hired on by Valve
i think a splinter of em did leave later on to join Riot and make Valorant, tho
And how well has Valorant been doing?
uhhh rn its averaging like 4 million players online today?
neato
Turns out Palworld runs great on it now
Though I do have to relearn how to play because itâs a console
Ive never touched Valorant
Ehhhh its a pretty good game, mechanically, its basically like CS2 but with hero shooter abilities
its a competitive tactical shooter
Ive also played TF2
TF2, the only good hero shooter
when i mean abilities i mean like Overwatch stuff
like instead of buying nades in CS, you buy charges for your abilities, like being able to throw a fireball or a smoke cloud
but there are some more overwatchy abilities like shooting out a string of venom and stuff
not like TF2 where your "abilities" are a specific weapon and stats, abilities as in like active stuff
like a MOBA like league of legends
Overwatch 1
Thats for an entirely different reason.
I got Overwatch once for one of my lil bros
Mei was my favorite
Such a great all rounder
Fun times circle strafing people and slowly freezing them
Sniper with ice bolts
Walling people off when they are chasing a team member
Hi
Got hard countered by bastion but could beat other champs easy
I was a simple man. Dual lifesteal shotguns with giant reticle go bang
I prefer the unconventional
Didnt Blizzard kill the first Overwatch?
Yep. Flat out said "the $60 game you 'bought' now can't be played to any extent"
Yea, thatâs why I regret giving it to my brother
Blizzard is another AAA dev on my blacklist
All this Blizzard talk is making me wanna play some WoW Classic
Devs that kill their old games to make you buy their new slop need to be investigated
These are the type of corpos we need to protect children from
Well you're not doing a great job, there's tons of kids playing Blizzard games đ«
"we" don't need to do anything
its their parents job lol
Thatâs what Im talking about
Protect your children from monopolies
bring back bullying, got it
exactly
i ain't got no children chief and it will stay that way
so keep me out of this and stop sounding like the joke of the government of the uk is
Im talking about massive boycotts, not Orwellian censorship and mass surveillance
Nobody really cares enough to do a mass boycott
true
I don't like Blizzard or Nintendo very much, but god damn I still play their games đ«
I got my son into StarCraft, now he's one of the top 1000 players globally.
Then youre part of the problem
It's not a "problem" if I'm having fun.
i also still play a few Nintendo games because i like them tho doesn't mean i likr what they're doing
Sure, but I likely represent the masses here, not many people are gonna care to the point where they boycott things haha
I'm not gonna boycott anything, it doesn't do anything haha
Play the free demo for DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined starting January 7th on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam!
ïžïž
ïžïžYou'll be able to carry over your progress into the full game when it releases on February 5, 2026. âïž
Ok now hold on, successful boycotts are rare but they do happen once in a blue moon, look at that d&d OGL situation a couple years back, everyone started cancelling their d&d beyond subscriptions and buying the competitorâs game, and they caved within the day.
There's exceptions to every rule haha
Entertainment isn't a static experience. I play a game today I might not be able to or even want to play tomorrow. There are a lot of shows, movies, books, etc that I've experienced, that I either don't want to or am unable to see anymore, and tomorrow there will be new stuff that I didn't have access to yesterday. I don't cry about what I can't have anymore, when there's so much to enjoy now that I won't ever even have enough time to.
You're wasting time you could be enjoying something new by complaining about something you probably wouldn't even be playing if you even could.
But yeah in most cases boycotts fail, still doesnât mean I have to give money if I donât want to

Sony has patented a new technology that would see PlayStation games play themselves with the help of AI.
ïžïž
ïžïžvgc.news/news/sony-ai-patent-will-see-playstation-games-play-themselves-when-players-are-stuck/
play wow like a turtle heh.
For example, if a player were stuck on a puzzle in an Uncharted game, the âGuide Modeâ would seemingly present an AI-controlled Nathan Drake demonstrating the solution, before the player did it themselves. The âComplete Modeâ would simply complete the section for the player.
Modes in games that assist with puzzles and combat challenges are common. Many games will allow players to skip encounters or lower the difficulty if they find them too challenging, and puzzle games often include a hint system for those who are completely stuck.```
I would love to see an AI controlled player struggle to finish games hahaha
And then maybe get really really good at games
Ahh now I'm scared
That's like saying "real gourmands don't use forks", the tool being used or not is not a qualifer or disqualifier for whether a game dev is indie or not, only whether that game dev or team is self-published.
This is really a nothingburger, Sony "cinematic" walking sims made for the lowest common denominator with blurting out solutions are being dumbed down further.
I mean racing games have managed to implement 'ghosts' for a long time now, at least since the N64 if not earlier than that even.
Celeste has a ghost section.
Dark Souls seeing other players is technically a ghost feature.
It doesn't need to involve AI.
Devs could very well already program in a recorded inputted footage of them solving it.
TAS exist as well, simple pre-programmed inputs to play the game like a MIDI music file.
using AI as a feature is just lazy and making it sound more complecated than it has to be.

In one particularly glaring instance, the AI software picked up on background chatter from the Disney movie The Princess and the Frog that was playing during the creation of the report. This led to the bizarre inclusion that the responding officer was himself transforming into a frog.

Honestly I'm surprised they haven't made some kind of "AI powered" digital pet. That was Furby's whole schtick, was "it learns to speak from hearing you talk to it", which was bunk. It's English words we're just time gated and it would start using them after x hours/days whether you talked to it or not.

What's funny about this is that naturally occuring uranium minerals are so impure and contain so much of the relatively stable uranium isotope that without a Geiger counter it may as well be another rock

Any game company asking for 32gb of ram that can't describe their game as a sandbox should be sanctioned by the UN
These performance targets are pretty bad so the game better look amazing
No, "open world" is not a sandbox
I donât care what genre
Needing a fancy GPU and CPU is one thing, but needing that much memory means either you're letting players build skyscrapers, or you are a horrible programmer
There is no reason for a linear fps to need 32 billion bytes of memory to keep track of the 27 enemy soldiers that exist at any given Time
I personally don't know what these people have been doing in the time since their last published game, so I can't say how they got paid for what work they did during that time.
Like honestly, the way big corporations work is really strange to me, if you don't have a title you're constantly needing your workforce for, or have those people constantly work on new things, why not just go with contract hires instead of full employments.
A lot less of a hassle to deal with tbh, unless you HAVE to have the people working for you use some sort of standardised software or other kind of structured coding habits.
Most animation studios have a lot of outsourcing, which is especially noticable in some of the best OPening movies for anime, where you see a ton of different scenes, those are usually done by a dozen of artists to get a complete thing done, not just by a single person.
Or theyâre just trying to sidestep the disk speed issue on PC
But then how else will they secretly mine bitcoin and train AI in the background without your consent? devs gotta eat too 
???
We already have technology for that it's called a level transition
And a loading zone
Or a loading screen
Or making the game use smaller files
Or an SSD
Which most people have
That basically entails building a different game compared to the console version
What
Consoles donât have much memory but the current gen has very very fast disk speed that most PC gamers still arenât set up for
for some reason game companies and people on youtube fearmonger about loading screens.
Saying that a loading screen is a point where people STOP playing the game, and get Ripped out of the immersion.
Which to me is just a bunch of BS and there's a lot of creative ways to make a loading screen or transition in the modern age.
which impacts how they fundamentally can build a high quality (technically) game
Most people have SSDs that can load things very fast
So unless you're using pointlessly over scales textures and the garten of banban method for terrain, an SSD should load everything fast enough
just buy a 1terabyte SD card, easy
But explaining this to PCMR is pretty much futile
If your game needs to stuff 32GB of ram to load things fast enough for 60fps you programmed the game wrong
Specifically you made your assets wrong
I don't care that your dirt looks more realistic than actual dirt you are a terrible developer
Hypothetically just loading a larger area at once can sidestep the issue. I have no idea what theyâre actually doing with this memory
Modern AAA is ruining gaming with their asinine hardware demands
But it comes off as brute forcing their way around PC bottlenecks
But that also assumes they know what theyâre doing
Which is a dangerous assumption in the current market
Like at a certain point I really hope you just made these numbers up because you were so busy making the big numbers for shareholders that you forgot you want smaller numbers on the spec sheet
I enjoy pc gaming, with my gamepad. I just want my pc to be a glorified better console.
modern consoles are just worse PCs, backin the day, a PC offered a different enough experience to consoles where you mostly mouse and keyboard gamed, and were playing RTS or other games featuring point and click which were more of a hassle on a console, like zoo tycoon or something.
But ever since consoles wanted to be always online and require you to download more stuff from the online store, it became just a worse experience that didn't interest me anymore, at the same time, emulation and controller support first party on PC became more established too, so I didn't have to have the latest modern console anymore.
Actually, now that I think about it
and for the rest of the good generation of consoles, I still own my OG consoles, my N64, ps2 (and my ps1 games), wii(with all my gamecube games)
AAA would want to inflate the performance sheet because shareholders probably also have shares in the big tech companies so they'd be happy to see the latest video product requiring people to buy the latest hardware because that boosts their Nvidia shares too
That second paragraph describes something thatâs literally no different on PCâŠ
And they're probably stupid enough to think that if the GPU has less than 4 digits that the game product is actually inferior and did not adequately use the enormous budget it was granted
I assure you that has nothing to do with it.
I mean yes and no, the reason pc goes always online is due to consoles wanting that, I don't think it's because PCs exist that games go more and more online only.
Thatâs absolutely not true.
The only thing you can be assured of in AAA is that the shareholders are stupid and make all the decisions that go public
both can be true at the same time, if it's a mix of something.
Steam was requiring online long before consoles commonly could even connect
I mean the alternative is that the studio is so bad at making functional software it should constitute a crime
"brute force disk loading speed by requiring more memory" what
That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard
Not enough gamers have the right SSD but EVERYONE has 64gb, right?
Iâm not gonna spell it out.
Baffling logic
Be baffled. 
Brute force is what I use when making mods because I have 3 brain cells and none of them know what a sea plus plus is
It's not something a professional software developer should use to shift performance demands around instead of cutting them down, and then sell the software for a high premium
That's how we get Sony "I crash if you do something I don't like" Vegas as the industry standard for video editing, probably
Iâm by no means suggesting this is handled properly.
But if you canât stream content the same way on another platform itâs gonna murder your memory requirements.
Just don't use content that needs to be streamed?!?
Dumdum?
No one needs 1 million by 1 million resolution dirt textures?
The world worked just fine with 4096 by 4096
Nobody plays fortnite for the texture resolution, morons
Fortnite is actually really high quality. 
Frankly I don't think anyone plays anything for the texture resolution
Roblox on the other handâŠ
Roblox identifies as a platform for experiences so they are excluded from this discussion
Once you get used to UE5
You don't play Roblox you experience it
Even before then
They're very insistent on this so
Yeah
Not a video game, sorry
But that's besides the point
Well yeah it was good before but I had to actually tweak setting after the update.
Thatâs fine.
UE5 hates shadows and anything volumetric. Turn those down and you'll get a gorrilian fps on another.
Some of the high fidelity options are very expensive
If you have to stream so much that you need 32gb for... whatever you're streaming to run at 60, you should be in software prison
Which is expected

I still stand that 1080p60 as the high performance spec on PC is shooting very low.

That at least upscales much better.
1440p is the same aspect ratio as 1080p
