He had had all his teeth removed cause he never cleaned them and he also said make sure you floss thats what causes the issues

he was also a major drug addict

He was but he said he wish he looked after his teeth

i feel bad for his throat man, that vocal fry

poor dude

it sounds like it hurts to talk

He said even when they went on tour everyone would tell him dude you smell like you just ate some shit

So good he's clean now

i mean the reason you have bad breath is the rotting food in your teeth so yeah

makes sense

and also the bacteria

We have plastic in our balls

my problem is i get annoyed with anyone in my presence longer than 5 minutes so it kinda contradicts the whole relationship thing lmao

yeah

[grizzled hornet]

[tawny hearth]

vt2 just always feels so slow and calm compared to DT

[ocean widget]

I'm surprised it still gets content

[ocean widget]

That's because there's no sprint pretty sure

[fair bridge]

it's going to get content forever

it will never die

ever

Going to get content until darktide stops making money

[fair bridge]

which will never happen

all my favorite things will never die

im goated

[ocean widget]

If only that were true

[tawny hearth]

they can make content for it for pretty cheap with how they have it set up i think so as long as some of the devs want to and they aren't working on vt3 i think we'll keep seeing things pop up for it until vt3 is closer

[fair bridge]

it is true wdym

[ocean widget]

They must pull a valve

No third games ever

[round mica]

Well technically dt is the 3rd game

[fair bridge]

i should skip the main quest

[ocean widget]

Shush

[fair bridge]

and just explore

[tawny hearth]

naw its kind of the entire game, there isn't as much pressure on you from sources outside of the melee in front of you. In dark tide you have more tools to respond to threats so they give you more threats to respond to

[ocean widget]

Also DT is seperate

That's like saying portal 2 is the third half life

[round mica]

They all end in tide

There the same game

[fair bridge]

same engine too

[tawny hearth]

lol the reason this happens is because of valves dumb "no bosses" setup, the reason they never make a third game is that they get bored of it and the only way a game gets made a valve is if you can talk enough devs into help you

[ocean widget]

Shush

[thick coyote]

More like
Half life 2.5
(Insert valve and the number 3 joke here)

[ocean widget]

Stop using logic and keep using memes

There's like 5 or 6 half life games last i checked which is wild

i still know nothing of deadlock lol, because its a valve thing i chose to ignore it until its out in 2045

[ocean widget]

I dont blame you

I think thats the first time I've wanted the leaks to not be real

Unfortunately
They were

And by god they were bad

[ocean widget]

Also that's provided it ever comes out

Wouldn't be surprised if it didn't

[round mica]

I'm still waiting for hl3

[ocean widget]

We ain't ever gonna find out anything about the borealis

[round mica]

Atp valve is like a conspiracy theory

[tawny hearth]

we'll 100% never see it as well, because a game like halflife just wouldn't sell so whatever we would get would not be HL3... it would just be some game taking place in the same universe lol

[ocean widget]

Valve is defo more of a games console company than a games company nowadays ngl

[tawny hearth]

yeah they're like opposite sega lol

[ocean widget]

I mean yeah

They haven't pulled any of their games down so they can try and get people to buy a new game yet

Yes Sega did this with the genesis collection on steam with the 3 sonic games

And then they pulled the entire collection

[round mica]

I feel like valve is one of the last company's that actually value the customer

They do have some really cool things they do

[ocean widget]

The fact they have a decent refund policy is great

2-3 hours of gameplay or less no questions asked

[tawny hearth]

lol besides the refund policy which was kind of forced at one point epic is almost a better storefront at this point... but still not really

[ocean widget]

The to three part is because I got a refund on a game for 3.1 hours of playtime

[tawny hearth]

epic looped me in with all the free games

[ocean widget]

I'm not touching epic until it's confirmed not to be spyware

[round mica]

I prefer valve because of the easy mods tbh

[tawny hearth]

no more than steam... lol when steam came out people said this same exact thing for like 6 or 7 years

[ocean widget]

Yeah last time I checked it was a pain to mod epic too

[tawny hearth]

no more than discord for that matter

[ocean widget]

So not fun

[tawny hearth]

or google

[round mica]

The community workshop is 10/10 sometimes

[ocean widget]

Damn shame epic ain't done anything to prove otherwise

[round mica]

I do admit epic is also a good company

They made gow

And fortnite iirc?

[tawny hearth]

not really, on the games its set up right on it has the same style of "workshop" thing with a worse interface but just as easy to install... outside of that it works like every other game where you either manually drop or use a 3rd party loader

[ocean widget]

Fortnite being good nowadays was debatable

Back in season 2 it was fun though

[round mica]

Fortnite back in season 1 -4 was good

[ocean widget]

Dont think vortex works with it

[tawny hearth]

lol neither has steam, people just forget and moved on, I just find it funny that i've lived long enough around gaming that i've seen history repeat itself. All the epic arguments you used to see on the tech forums about steam for years and years

[ocean widget]

Its on episode 5 or smth last I checked

I wonder when ppl will get bored

I still have freinds that play that game

[tawny hearth]

woudln't see why it wouldn't, you'd just need to manually show it the file location if it can't find epic games normally but its not like it interfaces at all with steam

[elder merlin]

Yeah, fuck steamcore

[ocean widget]

"The first version of EGS was found spying into user folders and upload files to Epic servers. Among the other things, your steam friend list was isolated in the leaked data.

That's surprisingly naive of them since they also develop easy anti cheat which is encrypted spyware that also looks into the kernel so they could do (and who knows maybe still do) it with that."

Eac is still why I haven't played VT2 despite owning it

[tawny hearth]

steam has had alot of major security problems in the past, both companies tend to respond and fix them because they stop getting money otherwise so its in their best interest

I mean if you're dumb enough to delete it youre dumb enough to ignore the warnings

[round mica]

I guess it's not for everyone

[tawny hearth]

it wasn't even warnings lol it just wouldn't let you but i can't remember when that was added but it had to have been early in the 32bit era

[ocean widget]

Yeah
No shade to it, it looks like a good game it's just not my cup of tea

[tawny hearth]

i really like games like this by myself, i put on a movie or an audio book or something long and just zone out and survive while listening to stories

[elder merlin]

[tawny hearth]

the logo for the 4th volume of the soundtrack in the launcher looks like a logo for darktide 3

I also like single player cause I don't have to worry about playing well or anything I can kinda just zone out and do my own thing

[round mica]

I'll have to check it out now , fingers crossed it's same sorta style as my computer sucks

[tawny hearth]

yeah its a pretty easy game to run, easier than darktide by alot

i think its around the same as zomboid but i've not looked that close

[round mica]

Ohhh! Iv seen this on YouTube

[tawny hearth]

its a sequel to neoscavenger, they take place at the same time, neo scavenger is whats happening on earth and ostranauts are the people trapped in space

not as much as like kenshi and zomboid tho lol

You can wage war on like the empire guys

well it is possible to recycle lithium batteries but it's not a cheap nor easy process so it's avoided

[round mica]

i know you can recycle your phones

[tawny hearth]

i know that most recycling centers want computers for the metals in them but yeah i have no idea what happens when you hand people the batteries

recycling is just sending it to third world countries isnt it?

[round mica]

Yes and no

[jaunty path]

Most of our plastics aren't recyclable.

9-10% iirc?

[misty trench]

well China used to recycle a lot of them but they've more or less stopped now because it's not all that efficient and, well, countries started trying to cheapskate out on it

[ruby cypress]

*cobalt poisoning, cadmium poisoning, mercury poisoning, lead poisoning

[tawny hearth]

luckily iron is pretty reclaimable because we're like 60 years out from being out of iron in the ground and having to rely on reclaimed iron

[round mica]

The only way we could get more would be from space right?

i mean if we are being honest here, companies are only using lithium because it loses its life pretty quickly.. forcing you to buy more of the new phones and other technology

[tawny hearth]

probably... but even that probably wouldn't be super worth... it would be more worth to move people to site of iron probably if we get that far to be able to space mine

[misty trench]

tbf lithium ion batteries are the best batteries available for the money

[tawny hearth]

cause we're lifetimes away from space mining on any real scale

[round mica]

Is it true there's a planet that's 100% diamond like 40 light-years away from us?

[round mica]

are they? i would think with it being 2025 we would’ve found a cheaper, more effective battery

[ruby cypress]

Used up wind power turbine blades are buried in miles of dirt because the components can’t be broken down to recyclable materials

[round mica]

They also found a planet that's 3 times bigger than earth w conditions that are very similar to earth's

[tawny hearth]

honestly its weird that one of the more accurate future settings in terms of sheer realism is the battle tech universe... humanity is bogged down in bad choices made for the bottom line

[round mica]

no idea, but maybe

[misty trench]

it's being worked on, solid state batteries are steadily becoming more realistic and otherwise stuff like sodium ion has potential but the infrastructure and such is all still being developed

[ruby cypress]

Solar power panel manufacturing creates more water table poisoning and strip mining pollution than the coal it saves

[round mica]

that would be one big piece of coal to turn into a diamond

[misty trench]

no its dumber than that... much much dumber

[ruby cypress]

The corporate hegemony makes sure things remain the same unfortunately. I saw a video of a young black guy turning plastics back into engine oil. My dad told me a few days ago he saw that guy too and he’s disappeared now

yeah its literally stocks not tied to actual companies

if you really boil it down

[round mica]

One guy could pull the plug and people would lose millions

[tawny hearth]

yeah solid state batteries will be huge for pretty much every industry and life generally a la how lithium ion batteries changes everything back when they first became a thing

plus y'know, batteries that don't fucking explode is a net win

I only heard about that one and i found it far fetched that a vehicle could run on water so ignored it initially. I then heard the same thing that he ended up killed. Ironically that lent the story credit

the numbers for trump come out to be like 33%
a lot of people flat out abstained from voting

[spark plume]

Yes they did, he won the popular vote

Or I should say

[elder merlin]

We need another Emu war

[spark plume]

The majority of voters

[elder merlin]

An emu war to end all wars

[final herald]

he won the majority of voters....of the people who actually voted

[fair bridge]

can we not talk about how shitty my country is please, i just got done having the gun eased out of my hand

[heady echo]

Trump is a E-coin shill. He is ma nibba.

[tawny hearth]

and its still not the majority world view in america so basing how you think americans view things based on how the politics are going tends to be wrong... because american politics is super super messed up lol

[elder merlin]

Give it to me, you can trust me with it

[final herald]

american politics is like 87 simultaneous backflips

[fair bridge]

it's a super soaker be careful

[final herald]

but in different directions

during a car crash

and then australia adds like random animals

[spark plume]

looks at US
Westboro Baptist Church
KKK
school shooters
anti-abortion activists
Epstein
"I don't want to go to Australia because of Collective Shout"

[fair bridge]

great chat guys

[final herald]

yeah just forget the "you guys have a worse government" part

[elder merlin]

Man, super soakers were awesome, do they even still make them?

[fair bridge]

hell yeah they do

[nocturne bloom]

Who brings up the KKK in 2025

[fair bridge]

i got my nephew some for his birthday

they're cheap as hell now

[final herald]

australians it would seem

[spark plume]

The fact that they still exist is statement enough. There is literally a white only commune in the US in 2025

[fair bridge]

oh my god bro are we really having a "my country is better than your country" competition

why do you give a shit

[tawny hearth]

they are still around tbh they just went a more guerilla route and exist in pretty much all western countries now so pretending they are an america only thing is silly

[spark plume]

I also don't get why Americans are so up in arms about abortion, every other western nation settled the debate literal decades ago

[fair bridge]

why does it matter

[nocturne bloom]

Wanna talk about Australia's poor treatment of refugees then?

[spark plume]

Our conservatives give no shits about abortion

[fair bridge]

someone call a mod this is getting stupid as hell

[final herald]

think back to the "you should know locations" part

oop wrong oing

[spark plume]

Economic migrants =/= refugees but it is funny you bring that up with what ICE is doing now

[final herald]

think back to the "you should know australian locations" part

[tawny hearth]

because they aren't, again you're very confused on the real thing thats happening. the majority aren't up in arms about it but you're hearing the propaganda and beliving it, this goes back to what i mentioned about night vision and carrots a bit back

[final herald]

people like to think that other countries should know more about them than anyone would ever care to

[fair bridge]

so what is he like a nationalist or something

[spark plume]

All I know is we have Steve Irwin and Vegemite so we're based

[long trench]

bruh, keep the politics out of my parody facist game discord

[nocturne bloom]

I bet he won't talk about when they removed aboriginal children from homes, but yea the KKK is a ROARING issue in the US totally

[spark plume]

No no, I know the majority aren't, but we don't have any of it here

[final herald]

the IRL politics for sure

[elder merlin]

Nice

[gilded socket]

I think im dying

[fair bridge]

take hugh with you he's killing chat

[spark plume]

We can talk about the insane amount of domestic violence murders that drove that policy if you want, but this isn't the place for it. I don't think it should have been done though, for the record

[final herald]

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

so on and so forth

[tawny hearth]

lol and if you don't understand why then you need to learn more about world history of other countries... its mostly because of the groups that started each country... those inform hot top arguments for generations

[spark plume]

Because American evangelicals are a special kind of crazy imo

[nocturne bloom]

It was definitely a thing

[fair bridge]

you guys do realize you can't argue with a nationalist right

you just can't

[spark plume]

He's being sarcastic

[final herald]

oh this is a quote from the narcissist's prayer

[last valve]

I think analysis right now is saying those who didn't vote leaned Trump anyway

[final herald]

"That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did...

You deserved it."

[spark plume]

I'm not even denying it, what is this strawman

[fair bridge]

wow i can't believe hugh said this

fucked up

i thought he was nicer than that

[nocturne bloom]

My point is idk why he's bringing up racism when Australia has been debatably worse in recent years

[final herald]

huh

[final herald]

because this is how talks with aussies go generally

[spark plume]

In the past definitely, in recent years? How so?

[final herald]

either they're super chill or they do this

[tawny hearth]

if we're being really real its not a parody fascist game... its a game about a demon controlling all of humanity to keep other demons away from his food source and that just happens to look like fascism

[fair bridge]

no we're the fascists

we just have cool guns

and a sense of humor (in this game)

[final herald]

there's like a tone of them in planetside who do this exact thing

[last valve]

Non-American racism is definitely also really bad, but the US recognizes the fact it has racist elements

[tawny hearth]

(i was making a joke that being a demon looks exactly like being a fascist)

[heady echo]

The game?

[final herald]

ye

[heady echo]

Do what?

[nocturne bloom]

Wouldn't know, dont talk to them

[final herald]

talk like hugh

[spark plume]

I'm curious how Australia has been racist in recent years though. We have nearly a million legal migrants from India, African countries and other Asian countries every single year. We arrest people who espouse Nazi ideology. I'm not seeing it

[heady echo]

Oh yeah Yell chat is mental.

[fair bridge]

i mean the crux of it really is just generalizing an entire populace then taking the high road

[last valve]

We have nearly a million legal migrants from India, African countries and other Asian countries every single year.
There's your reason
People like to blame things on immigrants

[fair bridge]

that's the dumbest part of this whole convo

[final herald]

pale in his heyday was the most annoying thing ever

*paletiger

[spark plume]

You said you don't want to visit Australia because of a single activist, I was just giving back your energy and now you're crashing out

[final herald]

he got banned and is now apparently tying to kill the game with aimbots

[tawny hearth]

treatment of the native population is the easy one to point out, which is the same for pretty much all colonized places... so to be clear i'm not acting like america is better because i'm a native here and have no actual love for america

[spark plume]

What are you talking about? The anti immigration nationalist party didn't even get 10% of the vote

[spark plume]

Treatment of natives is definitely a horrendous thing in basically every colonised country, yeah

[fair bridge]

first of all dude i never said i didn't want to visit australia, you're thinking of someone else. i literally don't give a shit. you're a nationalist and therefore pointless to talk to.

[final herald]

surely you get the irony in you saying this when less than 50% of the 30% of voters who showed up voted republican

[fair bridge]

good day!

[last valve]

Did polling suddenly flip and shoot them down after Trump took office?

[spark plume]

Oh, I thought it was you. Not a nationalist btw

[spark plume]

No, they were never that popular. Our left wing party won by a landslide

[fair bridge]

i'm glad that not everyone in this server is totally unhinged

[tawny hearth]

honestly don't take it personally when people talk bad about your country, because all countries have done some terrible things.

just be the Australia you want and get rid of national pride

[final herald]

I think pride in one's country is fine
trying to extend it into a weird superiority complex is how you get the balkans though

[spark plume]

I'm proud of my country for the changes it's been making towards being an egalitarian place for everyone with a growing standard of living and better treatment of the natives in recent years. We are improving so much

Can't say the same about the US though

[last valve]

Lookin at Australian polling, I think there was a Trump effect and your right wing party suddenly shot down massively

Trump did this cool thing where he made all right-wing parties look bad

I wonder what happened on January 2025

[spark plume]

You're misconstruing it. I'm not talking about the LNP, our centre right party of the 2 major parties (who aren't anti immigration), I'm talking about One Nation

[tawny hearth]

depends on if you look at one area of the united states or the whole lot at once, the US doesn't work quite like alot of other countries, the states are alot bigger and more populated than basically anywhere else in the western world and there are huge cultural differences from place to place. Basically just don't get defensive because its not to do with you and keep just being the good you want to see

[spark plume]

LNP isn't the nationalist party I was talking about you spud

[last valve]

Oh I was talking about LNC when I said right-wing

I failed to clarify that I moved on from the nationalist party

[spark plume]

It's more a collection of states than a singular unified country, yeah?

[spark plume]

You mean LNP?

[last valve]

Liberal-National coalition
I'm not well-versed enough in Australian political lore

[fair bridge]

this guy's my boy

[tawny hearth]

yeah, its honestly closer to the EU than it is to a singular country in the actual cultures and even some laws

[final herald]

this is the part where I step in for hugh and point out that the US left would be somewhat conservative by european standards (when basing things on economic issues)

[misty trench]

oh he's fine, physically at least, dude was in the store when it popped

bro came out to find his truck had turned into a fireball tho

[final herald]

hello aquila you're home early

[spark plume]

The coalition are basically republicans but less batshit insane. Not culturally conservative like republicans, just stupid economic policies and trying to privatise everything and give corporations big breaks

Nobody likes them except uninformed boomers

[misty trench]

it's 10pm
