[plush mason]

yup

[sly ivy]

I love this channel y r we talking about asbestos lmao

[round tartan]

or y'know, you could just not blanket approve it for use everywhere and instead make exceptions for situations where its usage is justified
like industrial facilities, for example

[plush mason]

also wont happen, and even then it will just lead to asbestos in the workers' lungs

because the same companies that allowed it to happen in the first place dispite knowing the dangers will be the ones using it

greed and negligence is what lead to the problems with asbestos in the first place, and all companies today are just as if not more greedy and negligent than the ones back before the ban

[astral burrow]

Sure it is useful but I see a pressurised asbestos can in someone's house

I will be worried

[round tartan]

Do you realize the whole point of regulations is to prevent corner cutters from endangering people? There's no reason why a blanket ban is necessary, as lots of other very dangerous substances are currently regulated properly and not just outright banned.

[astral burrow]

Is spray can of asbestos regulated?

[round tartan]

Probably not when they were commercially available. But then, nobody knew what the hell microplastics would do to the environment either when plastics became widespread. Should we ban all plastics?

[plush mason]

lmao like any company would follow said regulations

[astral burrow]

I don't think a byproduct of a very common thing that will hurt you in extremely far future

[storm jungle]

Speaking as an actual architect here

[plush mason]

most of them have more power than the regulators

[storm jungle]

Asbestos is bad.

[astral burrow]

Is on the same level as something that can destroy you by simply breathing it in

[storm jungle]

This isnt a complex subject.

[astral burrow]

Since when are you an architect?!

[storm jungle]

For like 7 fucking years

[astral burrow]

Did you design any buildings?

[storm jungle]

Yes

[astral burrow]

I thought you were studying smth else

[astral burrow]

Which ones?

Anything famous?

[storm jungle]

Resorts and schools mostly.

No lmao

who wants that kind of fame

[astral burrow]

Show us one of them we will rate

[storm jungle]

especially in this shithole

[storm jungle]

I aint doxing myself

[astral burrow]

Show one that's far from your city

[round tartan]

Yes they would, if regulations are properly enforced. Tell me, can you buy radium water or over-the-counter morphine today?

[astral burrow]

If you know where to look

I know a guy

[storm jungle]

[astral burrow]

[storm jungle]

They wouldnt.

A lot of architecture firms cut corners

then pay the price later

[plush mason]

key phrase "properly enforced"

[astral burrow]

Mmmmm istanbul earthquake

[storm jungle]

Ding ding ding

so many people are gonna die when we get a big earthquake

[astral burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/my-honest-reaction-gif-4334750075588832044

[storm jungle]

literally 80% of the city is shitty buildings

[astral burrow]

Kid named Istanbul earthquake

[storm jungle]

its insane

[plush mason]

and no because they flat out dont make that stuff anymore

[storm jungle]

lol

[astral burrow]

God the fallout, the consequences will be

Gigantic

I don't think the country can recover

[storm jungle]

Yeah its just gonna be like that Van earthquake

half the countries flocking to recover crushed corpses from under thousands of buildings

💀

[astral burrow]

I think the deaths will be the least of the issues

Istanbul is very crucial for the economy and everything

[plush mason]

"tofu dregs" are a lot more common all over the world than most would ever like to admit

[astral burrow]

The entire country can collapse

Even people away from the zone will feel the effects of it

And of course no rich fuck will get harmed by it

[rocky gale]

I feel like thousands of people dieing is more important than the economy potentially crashing

[plush mason]

ofc not. they will be evac from the city ASAP

[storm jungle]

I mean it is

the economy has already crashed

[storm jungle]

so how far can we go

lmao

[round tartan]

Do you not have building inspectors in your 3rd world country?

[astral burrow]

They are just staying away from it fr

[storm jungle]

Having them means jackshit.

Inspectors can just be bad at their job, or be paid to look the other way.

[sly ivy]

F

[rocky gale]

Never forget that Destiny 2 was the second highest earning game the year of it's release behind CoD (Owned by the same company) and it got slated by Execs for failing to meet profit expectations. Gaming Execs are delusional

[astral burrow]

Yeah I know a lot of people will potentially die, but it is such a crucial location the fallout will be nation wide

[storm jungle]

I really do not understand how much people dont remember these concepts like Corruption™️

[opaque coyote]

mfw Dead Space will never get a second chance because the Remake just happened to release along with the RE4 remake

[astral burrow]

Gaming execs should game

[sly ivy]

Ugh man

[astral burrow]

Play a few games

[opaque coyote]

The worst part is that Dead Space Remake still sold well

[astral burrow]

See why people buy them

[outer wave]

I hate executives and investors man

[astral burrow]

If you make a good game people enjoy, you make money

[opaque coyote]

At least for the genre

[astral burrow]

Don't they teach you at management school

[opaque coyote]

It just wasn't huge

[plush mason]

oh the US does, and they ether lack the means to actually make the companies follow regulations, get bribed or the companies win the court case due to various means

[astral burrow]

Good = money how can they not figure this out? Are executives brainless? Are they stupid?

[opaque coyote]

That goes for a lot of company regulations.

The fines can easily get paid off because they literally burn more money than that on a daily basis

[astral burrow]

Fines should be bigger then

[opaque coyote]

But what if you can get money by putting out shit?

[plush mason]

the US and many other countries also dont hold construction and manufacturing companies to the same strict standards they do pharmaceuticals

[astral burrow]

Enough to matter

[vagrant fox]

Back home everything governmental was built to code and passed inspections but because it rains as much as the amazon the buildings would still leak like sieves
Man I don't want asbestos mixed in with that

[sly ivy]

US buildings in general tend to hold up though. Not as many catastrophic failures etc. Lots of red tape good in this case.

Also lots of lawyers good

[opaque coyote]

Annnd that's when the companies lobby to prevent that

[astral burrow]

But they apperently don't cuz they don't like the outcome and then cancel the future shit

If they waste less money making a game, they will make bigger profits

[opaque coyote]

And sometimes it works very well.

Just look at almost every new pokemon game

[astral burrow]

Basic maths

[opaque coyote]

[sly ivy]

I am pro regulations hahaha

And pro a litigious society

[astral burrow]

Gamers are just as stupid

[opaque coyote]

And that's how companies get away with it

[plush mason]

regulations are 100% needed, they just arent done enough or enforced enough to matter sadly

if a company isnt afraid of being strangled to death by regulations the regulations dont work

[sly ivy]

But maybe that’s bc my family is disproportionately lawyers

[round tartan]

Honestly that's the biggest problem we have right now, across many industries. The executives are some MBA asshats who don't even understand the products their companies are selling, only the bottom line and the financial statements. We'd be better off with a system where most of the senior executives are people who worked their way up through the industry, instead of business majors who brown nosed their way into key positions.

[opaque coyote]

It doesn't help that the regulations keep getting blocked by said companies

[plush mason]

yup

[opaque coyote]

Catch-22 ahh

[sly ivy]

Ok but hasn’t the overall trend the last 50 years or whatever been positive as far as regs and building safety

Despite these issues

[opaque coyote]

Yup

[plush mason]

there is only one thing people in power fear and that is the loss of power

[opaque coyote]

It's a constant battle

Uphill

[sly ivy]

I know the victories are hard won

[opaque coyote]

But that doesn't mean that there isn't progress

Still wish there was more though

[round tartan]

damn I was hoping you could tell me where I could score some

[sly ivy]

Asbestos?

[plush mason]

sadly most of that progress is easily undone

[opaque coyote]

Yummy yummy in my tummy

[vagrant fox]

According to stereotypes you can buy anything illegal in Russia or the mideast

[opaque coyote]

DON'T LEAVE US ROE VS WADE. YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!

NOOOOOO-

Actually a russian fishing vessel used to dock up in my hometown and they'd sell cigarettes and AKs

[sly ivy]

most doctors recommend them over other cigarettes!

Trump deciding to cut down nature preserve trees is one of the more stupid things he has done

[vagrant fox]

[storm jungle]

[vagrant fox]

My genetic impulses would be at peace

[sly ivy]

Fuck yeh m8

That’s the fookin life

[plush mason]

[sly ivy]

The Donald is going 2 personally cut down the rainforest

W his hair

[astral burrow]

She IS hot

[plush mason]

as in half of all the park's acers

[outer wave]

How is that going anyway? I know he fired a bunch of the people that look after those areas then wanted to hire them back

[sly ivy]

Logging isn’t necessarily bad tho

[opaque coyote]

Because we all know that we all want to see the glorious nature of tree stumps and construction machinery

[sly ivy]

Depending on how controlled

[astral burrow]

I will change his legal name to trees

[storm jungle]

You joke but he probably would.

[storm jungle]

I mean you reap what you sow I guess lol

[outer wave]

Knowing logging companies, especially in the US, probably uncontrolled

[storm jungle]

isnt he making his own phone brand

[plush mason]

there is also illegal logging

Logging's a bit of an iffy industry, it creates a bunch of monoculture plantations that lead to other problems

See Portugal and toilet paper eucalyptus trees

[crystal forum]

if you put a paper straw in my alcoholic beverage i will report you to my fists

[vagrant fox]

Paper straws suck ass and I just throw them away at this point

[plush mason]

ngl i rarely use straws

[outer wave]

Fair but people wanted Trump to pull back on grocery prices, gas prices, and end was while working on their own economy. And what does he do instead? Focus on small, miniscule issues that don't matter to the majority of Americans instead and gloats about it on TV.

[crystal forum]

restaurants dont even ask

they still put the fucking straw

[outer wave]

Like paper straws and coal

[sly ivy]

I vote on the paper straw issue

[opaque coyote]

Basically this

[crystal forum]

literally this whole issue is because there's no regulations telling restaurants to only give straws on demand

who tf buys straws

[outer wave]

Exactly! And I haven't heard of Fox talking about the protest shootings or anything at least they never came up on twitter

mainland taiwan will learn the correct ways one day

[plush mason]

yeah most likely but it really wont be much different to America's

at the end of the day it will still be a capitalist economic hegemon

[outer wave]

Arguably it'll be worse

[sly ivy]

I think unlikely. Everything in China is flimsier than appearances. Economic and social stability, tech, etc.

But who knows.

[outer wave]

They'd probably will get away with a bunch of humanitarian atrocities

Just because they can produce alot of stuff

[sly ivy]

You mean the way they are now lol

[outer wave]

Yes, but worse

[plush mason]

like they and the US do rn?

[sly ivy]

Also based.

[outer wave]

Yes

[plush mason]

like nothing will change

[round tartan]

For most of us, sure. But I also think they're less likely to wage wars, simply because that's the Chinese mindset
"What do we need the rest of the world for, we already have China!"
at most they'd probably want Taiwan and some other areas around China's current borders + more fishing rights

[crystal forum]

we're all peons in this channel btw

god I hate star wars world building
"oh there was this band made of Bith? I guess that means Bith are all really good musicians"
"a Bothan spy? that means all Bothans are expert spies"
"Watto is a merchant? haha all Toydarians must be really good at selling things!

a Twi'lek was Jabba's sex slave once? Twi'leks must all be horny all the time!"
it's the most shallow and inane sci-fi universe you could think of

[astral burrow]

The nautolan Jedi from the prequels

Who got a horrendous, disgusting redesign in revenge of the sith

[copper patrol]

I thought twi'lek just get enslaved alot (as sex slaves) as thier thing

[astral burrow]

Music is part of the bith culture, yes

[sly ivy]

Thank you!!!

[astral burrow]

But not all twileks are horny

[sly ivy]

Yes

[astral burrow]

And bothans have always been spies

Mon mothma said many bothans died trying to get that info, multiple bothans

It was a class in the old battlefront 2

[astral burrow]

Sadly he's

Yes*

They aren't horny they are just got

Hot*

To most people

[sly ivy]

All Turks are cranky aggressive architects

[astral burrow]

I wish, I would at least have a job then

Kit fisto smiled once? All nautolans must be friendly!

No, most of em suck

They are hotter than twileks tho

There are so many sentient species and you pick "blue human with tentacles on their head" okay

[round tartan]

Do you think I don't know that? I'm calling it lazy worldbuilding because it is. Star Wars is the most asinine sci-fi universe I can think of, even if some of the media is really good.

[astral burrow]

Well it is not cuz one bothan is a spy tho

[sly ivy]

It’s so braindead

[astral burrow]

There are like one gazillion species

It is okay to give some of them specific niches

Better than just having humans everywhere

[sly ivy]

No this is objectively the best

Obv

[astral burrow]

Nah

I am tired of humans everywhere

My one complaint about andor.

Not enough aliens

[round tartan]

Yes but also the fact that everything revolves around the same few characters. I'm not just talking about Darth Vader and Luke and Leia being all related to each other(even though they originally weren't supposed to be), but also things like Chewbacca being friends with Yoda in the prequels, and Boba Fett's dad being the progenitor of all clone troopers. There's a 1000 worlds with 1000 species, but somehow everyone important thing and character in every story just happens to be somehow related to these half a dozen fan favorite characters. It isn't just lazy, it's insulting in a way.

[astral burrow]

Rogue one had a lot

[sly ivy]

In Dune the sandworms should also be long people. Only misstep

[astral burrow]

That's why spin off content like andor are awesome

I am sick of seeing the same characters over and over

[sly ivy]

Corrected somewhat w Leto II

[astral burrow]

I bet most people in andor don't even know what a Skywalker is

Female nautolans are so pretty, man

I might read the high republic comics just to see more cuz there are barely any that aren't jedi

[polar hill]

[polar hill]

[astral burrow]

She is an exception

But still

I find nautolans hotter

[astral burrow]

They are!

Nope

[rocky gale]

I lways find it funny that Kotor has a lesbian romance option, but no one ever remembers it because it's so hard to do and incredibly buggy that most people didn't even realise it's in the game at the time.

[astral burrow]

Swtor has many

But you gotta subscribe for them

Paywalling gay is crazy

[polar hill]

I tried to play KotOR and immediately got softlocked by a bug so I played SWtOR instead

[round tartan]

It's not too dated, you're just too young.

[astral burrow]

I am 20

Kotor looks horrendous

Swtor I can bear with cuz it lets me be a nautolan

[rocky gale]

Juhani my beloved

[astral burrow]

Gotta make a friend with a nautolan character for no reason in particular

[polar hill]

KotOR looks fiiiiine

[astral burrow]

Swtor needs more alien romances

[round tartan]

So you literally weren't even born when it came out. Way to prove my point.

[polar hill]

Any EverQuest players in chat

[astral burrow]

That does mean it's dated tho it is OLD

[rocky gale]

I was 6 when Kotor came out, good times

[astral burrow]

Pokemon is old too but the art style holds up

Kotor just looks bad

The gameplay wasn't good either when I tried

[vagrant fox]

I was too cool and busy playing Diablo 2 instead of Everquest like the stud I was

[round tartan]

Actually I concede the point, you're right. Pong and Tetris still hold up even though they're way older.

[vagrant fox]

Kotor looks a little scuffed but it's fine, it's just how 3d games was then

[astral burrow]

Indeed

kotor isn't stylized enough

[rocky gale]

Yea it's a 20 year old game that looks like how games looked 20 years ago

[astral burrow]

It is just old graphics trying to look good

[astral burrow]

Yeah and I dont like how they looked badk then

[vagrant fox]

FEAR holds up pretty good imho

[astral burrow]

Wish I did

I want a star wars crpg

[vagrant fox]

But, I'll also look at this and think yeah it's looks fine still

[rocky gale]

There are HD remake mods for Kotor

[round tartan]

Well it isn't just the graphics. I played through it not that long ago and it wasn't nearly as good as I thought it was when I was 12 years old.

[vagrant fox]

The KOTOR 2 intro station is the only thing holding me from replaying it right now 😔

[rocky gale]

That's due to games at the time being designed for different resolutions, scales and lighting techniques than we use nowadays

It's one of those things where like if you take an original copy and play it on a screen from the time it will look the way you remember

[astral burrow]

On god?

[rocky gale]

Yea tons

Plus bug fixes, cut content restoration etc etc

Kotor 2 has even bigger cut content restoration mods though because like 60% of the game got cut before release

[astral burrow]

Sick

How do they look with those mods

[astral burrow]

Yeah this looks horrendous...

[round tartan]

You're talking about the first game my great-grandmother played when she was a child
APOLOGIZE

[sly ivy]

They’re probably on Earth they would b pretty hard 2 get if they were on God unless u were righteous and dead maybe

Hope this helps

[astral burrow]

Sorrgy

[round tartan]

Seriously speaking, it's not the graphics that turn off new generations from some games. It's that they've genuinely become outdated. As I pointed out, people still like Tetris, and that game doesn't rely on graphics at all. It's just a timeless game that's fun to play.

[arctic talon]

Yeah some games literally play like shit

In comparison to modern ones

[plush mason]

yeah

[arctic talon]

Like, I really like a lot of old games

because they play well

lol

[plush mason]

like one of the biggest problems with older rpgs is the very thing that made them fun at the time

the complexity

[arctic talon]

Tbh

there's a level of complexity thats too much

[plush mason]

yeah

like Morrowind is right on the edge of that but by today's standards its well past the point of being too complex

[arctic talon]

Eh

I wouldn't say so

[celest dome]

Atm the most complex game i'm playing is Noita 💀

[arctic talon]

there's much more complex RPGs nowadays lol

just not as mainstream

but yeah the mainstream complexity is def lower for RPGs

[plush mason]

any RPG that requires a spreadsheet to figure out just what gear is an upgrade and what isnt is very much in the too complex camp imo

[arctic talon]

eh

fair

anyways, graphics are like, the last thing I care about generally. Games looking good is def an upside for me

rather then what I look for lol

[plush mason]

same

[rocky gale]

The Pathfinder CRPGS where you can take a feat on level up that somehow makes you weaker

[arctic talon]

one of my favorite fighting games looks like this ffs lol

what the fuck is visual clarity

[arctic talon]

This is just pathfinder 1e in general

what a game you were pathfinder 1e

[plush mason]

yeah been there more than a few times, i draw the line when META gaming becomes manditory

which is why i never play Owlcat's CRPGs on the highest difficulties lol

[arctic talon]

Owlcat is terrible at balance

lol

[round tartan]

Or how about chess?

only 1 map
only 2 playable factions that play exactly the same
the last balance pass happened in the 16th century
paid cosmetics
gameplay is so stale that AI can beat the #1 on the leaderboard

[celest dome]

Ye, as much as pf1e was great for it's codifying of rules, it was not noob friendly

[arctic talon]

PF2e is a lot more new player friendly

but they really should have gone further is my take lol

it ironically got hamstringed the same way 5e did

[vagrant fox]

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura kind of hits that for me, it can be pretty hard if you build wrong iirc

still love it though

[arctic talon]

tbh getting knowledge checked is a thing that just happens

i hope it's spiritual successor becomes a success

Something like psychonauts, I don't mind

Huge number of players tho

[plush mason]

new mode dropped recently

[languid meadow]

well yeah despite the shit it gets there's a reason why it gets a lot of players consistently

fuck even For honor gets a load of players lmao

[plush mason]

yeah because there is nothing else quite like it

[dapper gyro]

Because no one cares enough to fill that niche.

COE33 is one of the rare high quality turn base game, which doesn't really exist anymore.

[sly ivy]

I just want a fun pvp fps

Everyone plays pubg but it kind of seems like cancer

also I don’t want cartoony or weeby

Therefore it pop out so much more.

[sly ivy]

don’t say Vermintide 2 vs hahaha

[round tartan]

Ubisoft hasn't been profitable for a decade. It's been propped up by taxpayer money. Most people don't even like recent Ubisoft games.

[plush mason]

yup

[round tartan]

I mean if you're making $600M while getting $600M in government subsidies? That means the company should just go down. It's not profitable, and those $600M could go towards something way more useful than a mediocre video game company.

every once in a while i'm reminded how dog shit the anglo province flags are

[languid meadow]

top one is an Australian flag nard head

[crystal forum]

so

[languid meadow]

but yes

the worst ones are Alberta and Manitoba since Manitobas should've been something related to the Metis, and Albertas is too close to an American state flag

[crystal forum]

it's literally just the old canada flag from when it was a cuckhold of the UK

wait no im thinking of ontario

[languid meadow]

I think Ontario having the older flag style is fine but Manitoba has no excuse

[crystal forum]

and manitoba

[round tartan]

meanh'wiles these are the flags that Liberian counties designed for themselfs
and they're the coolest things ever

[languid meadow]

Manitoba could've had a cooler flag that honors its history with the Metis

[crystal forum]

as if they would give a fuck about aboriginals

I forgot about this bear of a flag, it's so nutty

The American Flag is pretty close to that. It's part of why I don't like it. Too much noise. Do you really need 50 stars?
