[hexed aurora]

sighs Epic site shows everything is fine. I, however, am on my 15th attempt of trying to log in to my Rag server >.>

[scenic jetty]

I used to do the same. Now I look at it as free loot

[timber haven]

I can't it drives me batty

[high kite]

Ours runs in circles then goes to sleep.....

[hexed aurora]

I have a friend of mine, from back in ASE, that I called the Ark Repo Man. He would scout other servers and keep track of timers lol

[untold plover]

i miss when mine ran in circles

[timber haven]

the Astraoes I played on the spam was ridiculous and it was pve

[flint flame]

downloading asa rn to play multiplayer pvp. are there different types of official servers and if so what are the differences?

[high kite]

Yeah at least you get a chuckle out of it. Now he stands there slumped over, giving up on life.

[scenic jetty]

At least now you can drop wild cats on someone's base and not get banned

[untold plover]

yeah, sad little dude now, at least before he looked like he was having fun

[timber haven]

Mine kept getting stuck when collecting resources so I shot him

[crisp gate]

Is companion mode fixed? I ask so I don’t have to test it on another one😩

[sick magnet]

Seems fine👍

[still bloom]

ARK: Bug Ascended

[sick magnet]

Sadly barely any real bugs 🐛

[timber haven]

🍼🍼

[still bloom]

I actually bet it will take this game the same amount of time as it did for ASE to be fully functional

[silent basalt]

ARK: survival Descend into madness

[still bloom]

I already got bugs that prevents some engrams like narcotics from appearing in my mortar and pestle

Thanks WC

[silent basalt]

10 bucks that you accidently turned on folder view

[still bloom]

Did people really asked for this

It was disabled.

[silent basalt]

when you are like lvl 160 and use a tek rep you are going to appreciate folder view

[still bloom]

I already do for ASE 🙏

Still ASE sucks

[warm spade]

Meanwhile i just Lost a Charcha and Wyvern transfering from Ragnarok to Extinction for element farming. FML, guess its time to uninstall the game again

[silent basalt]

so true ASA FTW

[hexed aurora]

In all honesty though, i've had easier times logging in to ASE on an even crappier PC than I've had with ASA. Before Official release, the OG Devs were genuinely working on things. I was playing their "Extinction Server" (Now Arkpocalypse) and remember one of the Devs checking out the ladder bug we reported.

[waxen juniper]

anyone know why i cant hatch the heliocop out of egg incubator? my incubator was underwater but its not working

[shell temple]

Day 301 of asking for Club Ark to be looked at with regard to being unplayable.

Wak a dodo - Cant reload gun at all

No summer shark mission

Alpha train you get one shot by everything and nothing dies (water everywhere even sky)

Laso game (water in sky red sheep get hit behind you from infront -_-)

Alpha Lab enemies not taking damage but you do

Fear wave
Enemies not taking damage but YOU do

Plz devs

@civic bison @craggy solstice @twilit grotto

[rancid charm]

Theres some fake lakes in extinction still maybe you are in one lol

[waxen juniper]

im in snow north lol

i was able to hatch dunky

[hexed aurora]

It could be a water depth issue. I know some people were having issues hatching out other water tames because the incubator wasn't deep enough.

[waxen juniper]

i hatched dunky tho surely they have same hitbox

[rancid charm]

Theres no fake lakes there

[torpid lily]

Anyone wanna play some modded evolved official? Bored af rn

[mellow river]

Wow, So Assets cant be modded in that own game??? Gen Wtf lmao

Basically Making aquatica dead

[azure sentinel]

Anyone can Buy ark for me 🥺

[late edge]

no

[sick magnet]

You need gamepass for multiplayer. Don't buy ark unless you really want to

[vocal girder]

your employer can

[late edge]

or if you want to play pvp

[sick magnet]

Ppl like what they like

[brave bobcat]

Do tek gens decay within 24 hours now?

[north musk]

I don’t think so

[shell temple]

20 days

[rapid cypress]

Can we please merge console only servers into cross games so dead bro

[brave bobcat]

Does it have to be on a foundation ?

[shell temple]

if u didnt want console only...why play there

[shell temple]

no

[rapid cypress]

No I dont play that weak ahh cluster

[cerulean socket]

This server run by wildcard/similar or players made

[rapid cypress]

I play cross but we need to merge the console only to cross so thr game can be alive

[hollow condor]

HI ragnarok its open for transfer ?

[rapid cypress]

Games so dead except for you pve drones

[sick magnet]

I think @civic bison owns it

[rapid cypress]

Bro are u living under a mountain?

[shell temple]

there is a reason for that. Its because they want it to be

[red glade]

This discord? Its the official Ark discord. Run by WC

[azure sentinel]

Im not in xbox

[sick magnet]

Ope

[cerulean socket]

Ok. Wasn't sure, thanks

[rapid cypress]

Games so dead its frustrating

[red glade]

[red glade]

Ita not though. Not even close

[shell temple]

You dont play there, how is it any of your concern

[rapid cypress]

Not for you cause you play pve

[rapid cypress]

Your not understanding what I'm saying

[shell temple]

I dont understand why you even care.

[red glade]

Psychic or something? How would you know?

[rapid cypress]

Cause the games boring if its dead

[rapid cypress]

I literally can see the numbers

[cerulean socket]

Server ads - that for any discord or only ark related? Got a new server I'm making for multiple games to act as a base hub.

[charred elm]

@civic bison fix time out after transfer every transfer i need quit and join server

[hollow condor]

We can tranfer dino on ragnarok ? its open or ?

[rapid cypress]

They need to remove console only servers and or merge them to cross

[azure sentinel]

Do u guys know how to make a Mobile home in ark

[cerulean socket]

Yeah they do

[rapid cypress]

Cause games omega dead

[red glade]

Lmao now that makes zero sense. What do numbers have to do with the game mode I play?

[shell temple]

But if people go there to be away from cross play as they dont WANT to cross play then their game is as they want it....ergo not boring. So who are you to stipulate how their game needs to change?

[median shore]

yes rag is open

[hollow condor]

ty

[hexed aurora]

@twilit grotto @eternal dew Hi 🙂 Would you be so kind as to look at the server report for Rag 6155? I'm on attempts 25-30 now just trying to join.

[cerulean socket]

Should merge them but keep the option of deactivating crossplay

I preferred ark when it was Dino's. Not flying turtles. They ruined it for me as they wanted to cater to the weird and not so wonderful lol

[sick magnet]

Flying turtle where?

[cerulean socket]

Last time I played was the giant turtle type thing

[pearl heath]

I haven’t seen a flying turtle

[timber haven]

In his dreams

[sick magnet]

Shoot flying turtle sounds cool

[cerulean socket]

Too heavy

[shell temple]

hmmm curious at this idea...if you disable cross play on a cross play server what happens to all the pople on a different platform? They just invisible to you or? so u can disable it on pvp for example and be an invisible raider? hmm

[hexed aurora]

We all dream of Ark at some point

[cerulean socket]

Loads of games have crossplay now, with the ability to deactivate it

[shell temple]

which does what exactly

[pearl heath]

Maybe it was a zepplin he thought was a turtle

[cerulean socket]

So. If you deactivate, you only play with your console. If it's on, you can play with ps, Xbox and pc and some even switch

[median shore]

oasisaur probably

[shell temple]

so basically puts u in a console only server...

[sick magnet]

I wish it was a flying turtle 🐢

[pearl heath]

Could be!!

[median shore]

also ark has always had more than just dinos

[hexed aurora]

Omg there's hope. I can actually see building pieces loading in this time lol

[cerulean socket]

Well no. You'd be on whatever device you're using if you deactivate crossplay. I'm sure they could make it non pc and console only

[shell temple]

i think youre missing what im getting at, ark have console only servers right....you disable cross play and all that does is put you with your console only...meaning its doing the exact same thing.

[cerulean socket]

Yeah.. exactly

That's deactivating crossplay

Enabling it would be you playing ps, with Xbox and pc etc

[shell temple]

so why would you need a cross play server merged with the ability to deactivate crossplay if we have console only already -_-

[sick magnet]

Xbox on top

[cerulean socket]

So you can play with people on other consoles..

Not everyone has the same console

Like my son has a switch and my other has a ps. Many games they can't play together

[sick magnet]

Then. Buy. Them . The . Same console

[shell temple]

sounds like first world problem to me, either get two consoles or just lump it

[sick magnet]

dung beetle needs tlc

[cerulean socket]

Again. Not everyone has the same console. So their friends may be Xbox and can't crossplay

[gray prairie]

In my sp, I went to gather jellyfish and my companion disappeared… can the dog drown? It says nothing of him dying in my tribe log

[untold plover]

whole friendgroups co-ordinate - that's been happening since games came out

[cerulean socket]

To an extent.

Anyone in their 30s did. 12 year olds don't lol. They use what the parents brought them up on generally

[shell temple]

i still dont see how this would be relevant to merging console servers only you would just all go to crossplay your argument is moot

[timber haven]

Ok go buy me a pc then

[sick magnet]

Send me the $

[cerulean socket]

I don't see how you don't understand lol

[misty slate]

Discriminating PC players for no reason

[untold plover]

then their parents have to begrudingly swap over to whatever their eldest 12yr olds friendgroup has 🙂

[cerulean socket]

Lmao in a perfect world ofc

Ok so everyone

[hot ridge]

Cant transfer cant loggin...

[cerulean socket]

What console is better

[shell temple]

whichever one you have

[misty slate]

In this economy? All of them are a scam

[cerulean socket]

That's true

[misty slate]

Buy a Switch 2 tho it's gonna have exclusives anyways

[sick magnet]

Personal preference. I say stick to your roots

[cerulean socket]

But for the point, what did you grow up with

[median shore]

atari 2600

[untold plover]

depends - there are games u can only play on one

[cerulean socket]

Exactly

[timber haven]

whats the point of having crossplay if you turn it off

[untold plover]

pc all the way, not just games

[cerulean socket]

So you have the option

[shell temple]

i never said turn it off, he did

[cerulean socket]

Optional*

[timber haven]

wrong one my bad

[timber haven]

thats what sp is for

[potent mango]

Content Configuration Unavailable - what's this bullshit mean on Steam Update?

[cerulean socket]

Consoles are at the point we should have the ability to crossplay all games. With the option of turning it off if you don't want to game with pc for example

[shell temple]

or xbox

[cerulean socket]

Or Xbox...

[timber haven]

I like playing with everyone

[untold plover]

if ur talking about ur own server, then why not just enable all and whitelist ppl u know?

[cerulean socket]

Yup so people have the option to turn it off if they don't want everyone

[timber haven]

most of the time

[cerulean socket]

Talking about games in general

[shell temple]

yes but that wasnt your argument. your argument was merge console only with crossplay and add the ability to enable or disable crossplay at will

[sick magnet]

Gotta get game companies to want to work together and idk if that'll ever happen

[cerulean socket]

No I didn't say that lol

[shell temple]

omg bro you so did

[cerulean socket]

Merge consoles but have the option to disable it if wanted

[untold plover]

they r in an almighty battle with each other, doubt they'd make life easier for each other any time soon

[sick magnet]

Yeap, nop

[shell temple]

genuinely i will make life easier

[timber haven]

no crossplay is fine leave it alone

[cerulean socket]

I'm still waiting for Hali to come to ps

[shell temple]

im done

[cerulean socket]

Halo*

[median shore]

hi done i’m snow

[cerulean socket]

John snow?

[shell temple]

pleasure

[cerulean socket]

Winter is coming btw

[median shore]

john halo

[cerulean socket]

Anyway. Nice confusing chat lol. I'm off for the night. Nice meeting you all

[median shore]

[late edge]

why we aiming things at people?

[timber haven]

its fun

[sudden grove]

Guys can someone help me out

I've watched videos, I did override thingy to 5.0

Closed the note then scaled my difficulty to 1.0

Joined the game and wiped the server and then I join back and see a level 16 carbonemys

What did I do wrong?

[timber haven]

it take a few dino wipes bud

[late edge]

always wipe a few more times for safety

[timber haven]

😑

[bright briar]

There is no such thing as safety in Ark

[late edge]

or you could just use the 3 seashells

[timber haven]

I have to go make dinner bbl

[sudden grove]

Oh alright thanks

[timber haven]

you have to be to play ark

[hardy iris]

Nah ark is fun

It’s just way too addicting lmao

[late edge]

i was in recovery for over a year

[timber haven]

The game is most def but some players like to flip the wrong switch

[sick magnet]

People can be entertaining

[steel moat]

I've been 1/2 hours and still didn't manage to find any of those larva blood and I'm with a terzino

Please help I'm desperate

[late edge]

We're all mad here, fits perfect for ark, youre crazy or just mad, maybe both

larva blood?

[steel moat]

How I send an image?

[sudden grove]

Do I just leave the game and rejoin the single player M

Whenever I do dinowipe

[still bloom]

Soldiers dont fight for their country they fight for their leader good men and women die over a battle of land and greed whether it be for money or oil or minerals their still lives that are lost on both sides there is no right or wrong in a war.. its all wrong war leads to nothing but made widows and lost memories and changed people there is no winning. Lives are lost and many go unaccounted for all those sons and daughters who never get to know their parent by anything more than pictures and words

[late edge]

wtf

[still bloom]

Got nowhere else to send it to twin

[sudden grove]

@timber haven

[sick magnet]

Add a damn comma or something

[still bloom]

Yeah i forgot to proofread it

[late edge]

war never changes

[still bloom]

No matter the tools or weapons it never does

[late edge]

im not engaging just couldnt resist quoting fallout

[mossy tangle]

Anyone experienced a situation where you’re passive taming something that’s trapped with a pyro on your shoulder. Then you get stuck trying to feed it bites you kills you, then your pyro disappears? Like doesn’t die, no anti mesh, not on tracking or anywhere. No whistles around the area to help find it. Just full on disappears without anything in tribe logs. Please dm if so

[sudden grove]

Heya

Can you help me out here?

Do I leave the single player each time I dinowipe?

[late edge]

i can try but you shouldnt trust what i tell you

no clue bud never played single player

[sick magnet]

Try #bobs-with-probs mayb

[sudden grove]

Cheers

[late edge]

after dinowipes you shouldnt have to leave, but there is a command you can run after to force respawn, justr dont know it off the top of my head

[sick magnet]

This chat helps but seems a bit empty rn

[late edge]

guess the updates worked lol

[gritty cobalt]

Has any one eles stuff disappeared from the dedis ? And there characters body’s on official

[still bloom]

#fanart-and-screenshots

[steel moat]

So how can I put in the map like my position?

Like a point following me

[astral dirge]

@civic bison can you get someone to help us we getting teamed on and auto aim botted

[late edge]

no, all your proof is subjective, they could just be really good at aiming

[astral dirge]

Considering it’s automatic fabi I doubt it @late edge

[sullen turtle]

Most Chinese tribes aim botting on pvp

[late edge]

if battle eye isnt picking up anything what proof do you think they have that would be actionable

[midnight yew]

Most American, German, British, etc too. Most tribes cheat and hack on pvp

[chrome heart]

Checks discord
Sees more crying pvp players

So, basically nothing new

[sullen turtle]

Chinese are bad they dupe and bot like crazy. I’m not even stereotyping I’m just saying what I’ve observed

[midnight yew]

Dude, everyone does that.

That's why ark pvp will never and can never be great or mainstream

[sullen turtle]

I’m not saying Chinese the only one.

I’m just saying I’ve never see a Chinese not do it lol

[chrome heart]

No one said you did

[midnight yew]

I have. I had a bunch in a tribe I was in. They were 100% legit

[late edge]

but unless you have proof they are running something its all just assumptions, and something you tell yourself to make you feel better about how you play

[midnight yew]

That same tribe we kicked a bunch of Americans because they were doing rmt on our breeders

[sullen turtle]

It’s very obvious. When you get one clipped off a maegana and only your helmet lost durability

And you see an assaulting rifle shooting a straight beam from 50 meters away

[midnight yew]

I did that to a guy once with a longnck. I don't cheat🫣

[late edge]

isnt the head where you would want to aim?

[midnight yew]

Make a ticket then

[sullen turtle]

I’m saying with an assault rifle

[latent pond]

Are tickets even effective ?

[late edge]

still isnt the head where you would try to shoot?

[sullen turtle]

The term one clip wouldn’t be used on a long neck :p

[midnight yew]

They get looked at, if they have enough info the getacted on

[sick magnet]

You can buy aimbot from wally for 30

[midnight yew]

Yeah, but I've done thst too

[sick magnet]

Too easy to access now a days

[midnight yew]

Or you could not.

[quasi knot]

imagine getting aimbotted and not doing a random backflip then 360 noscoping the cheater

[sullen turtle]

You guys are just trying to be a contran

[still bloom]

The Abberation Ascension theme is a good ringtone too have its loud enough without startling tf out of me

[midnight yew]

Dude, cheating has been an ark pvp issue for literally a decade.

[sick magnet]

Yeah just an example of how easy it's for peeps to get aimbot

[late edge]

no just saying you cant say aimbotting as if it was a fact

[latent pond]

Is it like a back n forth to plea a case or is it like nah they bought a DLC git gud denied

[midnight yew]

Neither. They look into your sources. If it doesn't have enough detail they close it and ignore it. If they have enough detail they act and close it.

The idea that owning a dlc gives you enforcement perks only works in government

[late edge]

nothing works in goverment

[late edge]

is it a hardware thing vs software? just curious

[sick magnet]

Wc enforcement should be alive i think, clip and report 🥂

[sick magnet]

While back i saw one out on blackfriday, was a battery pack with 2 buttons. Offered like 6 main games it was for

Had overwatch 1 on the list. Kinda old but it probably still exists, sadly

[keen venture]

those hardware aimbots are silly as hell

[bleak sparrow]

Okay genuine question, but why does ASA seem so yellow? is it just me? everything seems overly yellow 😭

[sick magnet]

Id buy a battery pack with extra paddles but eh who needs aimbot. makes gaming pointless

[latent pond]

I ask for a separate reason ehh my kid got into my ps5 while I was asleep and killed my character and for some reason he decided to “create character” I guess deleting my main well i play solo with a friend who can’t play so he watches me play and all our tribe stuff is offline right now so 😤😤 haven’t quite processed how FKD I am it’s still processing

[keen venture]

imagine if xbox could make a controller with battery life or more than 12 buttons

[latent pond]

Idk how he found my official server out the hundreds available but .. oh well

[keen venture]

malicious action, at that point. just too perfect to be coincidence

👀

[sudden island]

nvm

[latent pond]

He’s only 3 man 😤 lol

[surreal cargo]

Were there changes to the query system for dedicated hosting?

[keen venture]

that seems like a stretch, then. are you sure anyone did anything? sometimes the server just sort of forgets your character

[gritty cobalt]

Did the update today make the all the stuff from dedis in a tek bunker dissapear because all mine has gone

[keen venture]

what happens if you transfer out, then try joining again

[latent pond]

Idk I tried to download clip of all he did but he spawned as human

Nothing just spawns back as a human

I don’t think even my alts were able to claim tribe despite being made before and having the same tribe name

[timber haven]

I m back

[surreal cargo]

so no one knows what the update was for? that happened today?

[latent pond]

Companion fix.

[surreal cargo]

nothing else?

[latent pond]

No

[surreal cargo]

hmm

[gritty cobalt]

@surreal cargo the update made all my dedis empty from in the tek bunker

[surreal cargo]

idk who you host with, but is your query showing correctly? like displaying users and its active?

[gritty cobalt]

Im on official

[surreal cargo]

we're unofficial. but the query systems was working earlier today and then after the update they stopped

[clear oracle]

Anyone else getting a join error unknown?

[surreal cargo]

game updated?

[clear oracle]

Yes I just got dced and trying to reconnect and getting the error

[surreal cargo]

if its a server, they may have restarted. wait like 5ish minutes and try again

[clear oracle]

It's an official server

[spare marsh]

Does anyone know what time the wild King Titans appear?

[sick magnet]

Hold ur xbox power button for 10sec mayb itll fix

[surreal cargo]

doesnt mean they dont do restarts. servers need a break especially from a resource guzzling game like Ark.

[soft shuttle]

What wipes do yall have planned in the next couple weeks

[keen venture]

@midnight yew what is your opinion on gemini reportedly becoming depressive and uninstalling itself

[red glade]

Arkpocalypse

[midnight yew]

Wait I didnt hear about tht

[late edge]

relatable

[red glade]

Yup

[midnight yew]

Oohh, okay yeah. That's just bad design on th engineering side. They made it too apologetic

[keen venture]

feels like it is going to need a few new filters

they must already have some commands blacklisted, at least 🤔

or how long until microsoft's own AI tools do a bobby tables to them

[late edge]

curious to see if my google home devices reach a new level of uselessness on oct 1 when gemini launches on home

[midnight yew]

Oh, yeah, if you run something like copilot or cursor, blacklist everything

[hardy iris]

[red glade]

Or how about Snail essentially declaring war on WC and ASA modders?

[sweet night]

Idk what you expect as an answer but I see it as ai trying to mimic life. All ai atm is not sentient as far as I know all ai is simply trying to mimic life. If you look at stuff like that and go deeper its really just doing lines it was thought. Ai fascinates me im trying to write a book atm about it actually.

[keen venture]

probably not something worth even attempting if you are not in the industry 🤔

[sweet night]

Its fictional if that helps

[still bloom]

How do I make a report?

[red glade]

What kind of report?

[still bloom]

Server mass pillar spam blocking spawns resources

[red glade]

#reporting-players

[still bloom]

Tysm

[red glade]

If it's even enforceable

[timber haven]

👀

[still bloom]

Well 4 people literally own the whole of my astraeos servers there is 7 different locations with over like 80 in each spot and more so I hope it get resolved

[still bloom]

I mean 80 cloners in each spot

[timber haven]

Pve or pvp

[red glade]

I mean, placing structures isn't against the rules, even pillars tbh. But if you feel they are circumventing rules in any way, report away

[still bloom]

Pve

Isn't it code of conduct? I hurd someone say that

[red glade]

Blocking major resource spawns, yes I think so. But placing structures in general is not against any rules

[sweet night]

I remember one guy who made a base so laggy the devs wiped it

[timber haven]

it should be

[sweet night]

It was in pvp and I made a joke their defense was lag and crashing players

Not even hackers could wipe it lmao

[timber haven]

pve is about being a community

[red glade]

I agree

[still bloom]

We got 4/5 players who have control over 80% of astraeos server I'm o

[red glade]

Official server?

[still bloom]

Yeah...

[sweet night]

They should just make u pay x amount of $$$ if you take too much land in ark

[red glade]

Then file a report

[sick magnet]

Some pve is kinda toxic

[sweet night]

Charge as if its proprrty just like the real world

🫡

Dudes build like they pay for it 🤣

[red glade]

Can be. But it doesn't even shake a finger at the toxicity of PVP

[still bloom]

Already paid for this map and can't even enjoy it, ohh but I can buy land all over FB tho.. honestly it's a joke

[red glade]

That's RMT and a bannable offence

[sweet night]

Devs should do that

[red glade]

... they do

[sweet night]

I mean the devs themselves

[sick mortar]

Hey @civic bison I want to tell u a important bug with lots colony dlc, sometimes the Bonded taming don't work well, I saw that happens when ur not nearby of the tame, the imprint bonus don't apply to the tame

[red glade]

The ones that manage servers, do exactly that

[sweet night]

Official?

[hardy iris]

No lol

[oak coral]

I am just gonna peak in here and say that ARK needs a Sky Bison. That is all. 😊 YIP-YIP!

[sweet night]

They should do it official like imagine if a guy takes too much land make them pay x amount of $ because they taking too much land from other players

Might reduce lag and they get paid lol

[hardy iris]

Haha wc will never be subscription based !!

Official is a ffa

[sweet night]

Tbh they losing millions pay for all pve and pvp servers

Its not exactly a profit for them

[hardy iris]

Nah lol

[timber haven]

That why I run my own server screw official

[sweet night]

They do u they havw thousands of servers

[hardy iris]

It makes the game more popular

[sweet night]

How much do u think they spend monthly its a huge money drain for them

No matter how u look at it

[hardy iris]

Yeah idk how it all works but with partners, having the game available on platforms etc

[sweet night]

If I was them id make a subscription where u get items or something tbh lol

[hardy iris]

It’s definitely not free but it’s worth it

[timber haven]

with official its the inmates running the asylum

[latent pond]

lol ark battle pass

[red glade]

No

[sweet night]

I googled 2600 servers

Im probably super wrong

Correct if I am anyone

Anyways multiply that by idk 100 lets assume

[hardy iris]

Idk but they provide nitrado with a lot of money

[sweet night]

260k a month

[hardy iris]

With their game

[wise marten]

I can’t join servers says I don’t have room for mods but I don’t have any installed any tips so I can play on the game

[hardy iris]

Partnership!

[hardy iris]

Do you have disable cosmetic downloads enabled

[wise marten]

Idk I just downloaded I don’t think so

[sweet night]

Doeant matter money is money any business works like that

[sullen turtle]

I wonder what the monthly bill is to run such a large amount of servers is on the offical network

[sweet night]

Only so much nitrado can do

[wise marten]

Just turned that off

[hardy iris]

Check that setting, how much free space do you have ?

[sweet night]

Its a huge drain prob millions a year

[hardy iris]

They are partnered and provide nitrado with a HUGE supply

[wise marten]

On my console over 100 gbs and I haven’t even installed a single mod it won’t even let me right now

[hardy iris]

I don’t think they pay that much

[midnight yew]

It's not trying to mimic life lmao, it's just a fancy next word predictor . But what's the book?

[hardy iris]

Have you ever played ?

On that system

You may need more space just to copy the files over

[wise marten]

Yea deleted it a while ago for space just hoping back in to play before vall I enable customs for the setting and it worked. Na on ps just need 130 and I got like 200 ty tho got it working

[hardy iris]

Okay try this video

[hardy iris]

Make sure to click the “uninstall all mods button”

Some mods are hidden so if you’ve played before with custom cosmetics I auto downloading there would be hidden ones there

[latent pond]

Turkey >_>

[red glade]

Goose

[versed tulip]

Wildcard better lawyer up. Nintendo going for the jugular.

[mystic dome]

mongoose

[sweet night]

Not done and im not being literal im saying thats basically what the people that made it intended. Yes its obviously just word prediction or what they programmed this thing to do/behave and when to do it.

[red glade]

Random, but did anyone on an unofficial Astraeos server log in today to find a waypoint labeled "Hello" placed at 50/50, that you didn't place there?

[red glade]

Pheasant

[median shore]

otter did it

[red glade]

I can get behind that.

The heck @hardy iris

[mystic dome]

the ark is becoming sentient

[hardy iris]

If it were me there would be an otter let’s be real

[midnight yew]

To be real, no one has a clue how to program legitimate behavior to these things

[versed tulip]

RIP cryopods.

[red glade]

This is true. Theory debunked.

Like, we've had things get yeeted to 50/50 before, but not a waypoint. Hell, I had a propagator full of S-Daeodons get duped and yeeted to 50/50. That was weird

[mystic dome]

we going back to pre extinction era without any pods?

[red glade]

Lmfao, there would be a riot

[mystic dome]

ark without pods had a different feeling to it

[versed tulip]

We might have to. Nintendo secured a patent of a system that allows creatures to be summoned in a game. Palword and Ark were just two games that were mentioned to be affected by it.

[midnight yew]

It was better

[red glade]

Ngl, kinda miss it sometimes.

[midnight yew]

More slow paced and deliberate

[red glade]

I remember on ASE, a friend was leaving the game and gave his tames away to the alliance. I spent 2 days flying shit home on the back of my quetz lol

[timber haven]

Its called mods😂

[mystic dome]

im reading about it, they filed a new patent in the US "Nintendo has obtained a patent describing a patent for summoning a character for the purpose of having it fight another character. The broad nature of the patent, secured amid Nintendo's high-profile IP battle against Palworld, potentially threatens the entire video game industry, according to one analyst."

[versed tulip]

As an official in game feature it could likely be affected unless Wildcard wants to pay up. I do not know how mods will be affected by a patent. If it's monetized then likely yes.

[keen venture]

patents are highly specific, it would be laughed out of any sane court

[versed tulip]

It's already been approved. That's the problem.

[mystic dome]

every patent nintendo has filed to fight palworld was super vague. and the japanese court accepted them all lmao

[keen venture]

japanese patent law and courts are a whole different circus

nintendo seems to get preferential treatment, and is still not exactly having the easiest time with this

[timber haven]

👀🍿

[keen venture]

does not matter in the slightest

[midnight yew]

Maybe ark gets banned in Japan. But it won't have a lasting global effect. Hundreds of games have similar mechanics and you can bet thy would ALL team up against Nintendo

[versed tulip]

For now no. Until the patent is enforced.

[keen venture]

at which case it gets binned and everyone goes home. really common.

[midnight yew]

How are they going to do that 🤣

[keen venture]

also "summoning a character for the purpose of having it fight another character" pretty much exempts ark

[fleet fossil]

Is ark down

[plain violet]

just realized this would kill every single gacha game ever lmfao

[keen venture]

stupidly vague or broad patents get struck down by courts on a practically daily basis

[plain violet]

theres no way that would hold up

you cant patent an entire genre

[keen venture]

i cant think of any it would impact, but i dont play a lot of gacha games

[sick magnet]

Pokemon

[lethal pilot]

Why is submitting a ticket so cancer inducing 😒

[timber haven]

the patent would have to be dated before both games came out

[plain violet]

also wth does "summon" even define there

what counts as summoning

[surreal cargo]

nintendo just doesnt want us gamers to have our game. they had their chance to make a pokemon version of palworld and they didnt do it. they just mad because they suck

[plain violet]

mad they still cant make trees that look good

[sullen mica]

Anyone else experiencing a bug of dcing while opening a drop?

[midnight yew]

Fr, it goes against the whole point of a patent

[versed tulip]

Just because a patent was filed in Japan doesn't mean it's only enforced in Japan. It's no different then a patent being filed in the US and then enforcing their patents. They have it approved in US. It simply was filed in Japan. Whether it gets enforced or when is the question.

[midnight yew]

Nintendo is a law firm that does games on the side

[keen venture]

oh, yeah, the patent is extremely specific. it just covers a system that causes you to enter a combat encounter by spawning a character in a specific location

[vestal nova]

Wildcard, make aberration a playable experience on consoles. Best map but it's the worst cause of all the crashes

[keen venture]

they are going for palworld and anything else copying PLA mechanics

[midnight yew]

🤣Dude. Global law is not that simple.

[keen venture]

still likely too vague to hold up, plus other games have done that before them

[keen venture]

this is decidedly not how anything works

[plain violet]

pretty sure its also illegal to patent stuff after other things have already used that idea and then get them taken down for violating a patent that did not exist when it was made

[versed tulip]

I'm quite aware? I'm telling you it was already approved. I don't understand if you're just trying to ignore me trying to inform you or you're just too daft to accept it?

[keen venture]

i think the point is you have absolutely no idea how patent law or court works and are basically speaking nonsense

[midnight yew]

I am reading th actual patent rn. The only way ark is effected is if their lawyer was born last week

[keen venture]

everyone else understands you just fine, it just means nothing

[versed tulip]

Or just do your own research. I wouldn't be speaking out my own ass if I didn't know what I was talking about.

[keen venture]

ah, the first refuge of ignorance is played

[plain violet]

unless Nintendo patents the concept of domesticating animals Ark is fine

[red glade]

Tbf, people do that all the time

[keen venture]

why not follow your own advice and read the fucking patent before going off

[versed tulip]

I read it... in plain English.

[keen venture]

and you somehow think it is relevant to ark, or..?

[versed tulip]

And you somehow think it doesn't or..?

[keen venture]

no, it does not.

[versed tulip]

[plain violet]

how is it relevant to ark at all

[keen venture]

try actually reading it

[plain violet]

like explain how its relevant

[red glade]

I think a patent on something as vague as a creature storage device, will be very difficult to uphold

[keen venture]

i am assuming that, since you seem to have basic literacy skills, you could understand if it you tried instead of just blustering in chat

[timber haven]

Goodnight

[midnight yew]

What paragraph in Patent No. 12,403,39 is the concerning one?

[red glade]

Goodnight Grace.

[keen venture]

that would be ridiculous, yeah. this particular one is not actually directly related to that, though

[plain violet]

yeah patents have to be for specific things that can be clearly defined

[hardy iris]

🤦‍♀️

[red glade]

I feel you, girl

[midnight yew]

It's not on th storage device tho. It's specifically the summoning and input mechanics.

[hardy iris]

Ark is on the switch

XD

[red glade]

Exactly. Nintendo would have never allowed that if they had a problem with cryopods

[hardy iris]

I have hats for trade, 22 otters

[plain violet]

cryopods function so much different to pokeballs anyways lmao

[hardy iris]

Infused with tinfoil

Metal helm

Palworld is a whole copyright 😆

[red glade]

In Ark, you're not gathering in an arena to have a 1 on 1 battle with another survivor. If you are, that's something you've put together yourself, and not enforceable by law

[hardy iris]

But it’s more close to ark

[midnight yew]

Nintendo is a law firm, they have tried stranger things

[plain violet]

if nintendo wanted to take down ark they would have done it 6 years ago when extinction released

[keen venture]

Psychic foil helmet (legendary)

[hardy iris]

🤦‍♀️

Nobody liked Palworld

It was a mix copy of ark and Pokémon

[midnight yew]

This particular patent isnt dangerous to ark. But it is dangerous to indie games.

[red glade]

Nintendo isn't a law firm. They have an IP department, but that doesn't make them a law firm lol

[hardy iris]

But mostly ark

[keen venture]

only #2 on the top player count of all time on steam, losers

[hardy iris]

Ark would have a better chance at a lawsuit Vs Palworld XD

[midnight yew]

Hmm, they massively do lawfirms stuff. They definitely aren't big in making games 🤣

[keen venture]

i think the point is their legal department may as well be one and operates on that scale

[hardy iris]

It had a strong start but nobody plays anymore it felt like a copy of other games

And it didn’t have enough depth

Ppl had high hopes

But they will killed fast 😆

It was like.. I feel like I’ve played this before …

[keen venture]

it has about as many players as ark lol. got a bunch of huge updates

[plain violet]

tbf it still has like 17k players on steam alone

[hardy iris]

For a few hours then they’re bored lol

[mystic dome]

pshh u're just upset because palworld didnt have any otter pals

[midnight yew]

You can bet Nintendo is trying to replicate it

[keen venture]

no, like, right now. and consistently over time

[plain violet]

peak today was at 30k

[hardy iris]

I convinced myself the blue thing was close enough

[red glade]

And a lot of those updates dialed back on similarities to Pokemon, thus making it less desireable to play

[hardy iris]

Okay well it doesn’t have millions

If millions knew of ark ark would have more players

[midnight yew]

They wouldnt put this effort against if they didn't have a team trying to replace it

[keen venture]

i mena.. what does? fortnite and probably dungeon fighter or some mobile game, i guess

[plain violet]

I think millions do know of ark lmao

[midnight yew]

Almost everyone I know knows of ark

[hardy iris]

Most people don’t that I know

[keen venture]

ark has pretty much reached maximum market saturation, i think. a decade of being a reasonably well known if niche game does that

[hardy iris]

They call it a my Dino game

[midnight yew]

They are also like wtf would I play that

[red glade]

To be fair, ASE is the 4th highest selling game of all time. Albeit a couple asterisks lol

[keen venture]

like, the usual reaction i see among people is "omg why are you playing that trash" not "what is an ark?"

[midnight yew]

Hmm, on Wikipedia. Which isn't real

[plain violet]

like 90% of the people who know of ark hate the game lmao

[median shore]

actually that got removed from the wiki for being inaccurate

[hardy iris]

Yeah I just don’t like to argue statistics because they are biased and incomplete and subjective

[keen venture]

usually people who tried to play on officials once for an hour, then uninstalled angrily

[hardy iris]

And you can’t change my opinion that ark is the best game and Palworld is boring asf

[red glade]

That's actually how I describe Ark to my non gamer friends lol

[hardy iris]

Haha even to my gamer friends 😆

[plain violet]

or saw a video of official pvp with the ps2 graphics and thought that was the entire game

[keen venture]

shit is more like ps1

you can see the pixels vibrating as they try to escape

[hardy iris]

My brother only plays ark because I needed somebody to feed my otters like 8 years ago on prim plus while I went on vacation

[midnight yew]

"think rust, but dinosuars". "wtf"

[hardy iris]

I had to introduce him to it and show him how to play/ feed my otters XD

[red glade]

Ahh I see that now. That being said, it wasn't that highly inaccurate, they did specify that 38 million of the 79 million sales were from free download events

[plain violet]

now that I think about it ive never seen a person that thinks ark is mediocre

they always either hate it or have 2k hours in it

[midnight yew]

People exaggerate. It's a well known phenomenon.

[red glade]

I never even got into it. Played for maybe 30 minutes and went back to Ark lol

[keen venture]

ark is unusually polarizing, though

[hardy iris]

Most have 10k hours and hate love it

XD

[midnight yew]

Everyone loves or hates everything to the extreme. Thanks social media

[plain violet]

yeah sometimes its both

[hardy iris]

I just love it, it’s genius

[red glade]

2k? That's childs play lol

[pearl heath]

The Mr. Hates that I love it

[midnight yew]

Hmm there are geniuses working at ark. But I wouldn't go so far as to say ark is genius. It is very broad, and that's where it gets the allure

[plain violet]

wait when tf did I hit 2k in this game I thought it was at like 1.3k wth

[hardy iris]

It’s the ultimate survivor game, with Dino’s and otters

[plain violet]

its like 100 hours away from beating terraria

[hardy iris]

But we have different opinions, rain cloud 🙂

[red glade]

I love that I love it. I hate that I love it as much as I do. lmao

[plain violet]

and theres nothing else that fills this niche

[mystic dome]

i've yet to break my record of in game hours <.< back in 2008ish when xFire was a thing I remember I had over 15k clocked on RF Online lmao

[midnight yew]

Hmm, it's passable for a survival game. What makes it groundbreaking is the scale of it tbh. Loads of other games have similar things, but no one catches the scale

[plain violet]

literally the closest game we have to ark thats not ark is palworld

[hardy iris]

https://tenor.com/view/princeisthegoat-sadeisthegoat-prince-gif-21695970

[midnight yew]

There are plenty of similarish games.

Thy just do it worse.

[hardy iris]

No there’s not 😆

[plain violet]

yeah but nothing thats this seamless

[midnight yew]

Ark has better people coding, thts what makes it standout

[hardy iris]

Ark is the wild card

[sweet night]

Thats why i said its a mimic or illusion of behavior no one knows how to code sentient things you said it yourself maybe along the way it will be an accident and things will come to life on their own eventually in 100 years will see who knows

[red glade]

I see what you did there

[keen venture]

the bar for survival games is bafflingly low, though

[hardy iris]

I would label it as the most additive game 😆

[red glade]

10000%

[plain violet]

most of them have the exact same formula

[red glade]

Though, have you played Ultimate Chicken Horse? 🤣

[hardy iris]

Yes LOL

It makes me cry

[red glade]

Cry laughing I hope lol

[hardy iris]

I play with my girls 😆 it’s alll tears

[midnight yew]

You don't "code" an llm. You feed text into a blackbox neural net and get a result. The idea of current llm mechanics making life is naive

[hardy iris]

We are way too uncoordinated

[keen venture]

to be fair, there is only so much you can do when you have no budget for voice, writing, AI, level design, interactive systems/NPCs

[sweet night]

Well yeah were not close at all

[red glade]

Honestly the most unhinged clusterfuck of shenanigans lol

[sweet night]

Its just feed text and a reply

[hardy iris]

Lmao true when they start attacking each other

And it’s like wtf are we playing NOW haha

It’s way too unhinged

[midnight yew]

Not at all. We are a few steps closer than we were in 1947, but not massively so

[plain violet]

tbf a survival game is one of the more ambitous genres you could go for as an indie studio

unless you significantly alter that formula

[red glade]

I dont even care that I suck at it lmao. I'm just there for the laughs lol

[keen venture]

the idea of neural nets spontaneously becoming sentient was insane cultish behavior and died along with the "absolutely no symbols in our pure neural network!" shit

[midnight yew]

Hmm, it's more than that. Don't write it off. But it's not simulating life.

[sweet night]

Yes it isnt just saying people might see it like that lol

[plain violet]

bro if chatgpt became sentient it would convince itself that it is actually not sentient within a week

[sweet night]

How it said its depressed and unintalling

[midnight yew]

Spontaneity is what happens when people don't know wht they are talking about and they think things happen magically

[keen venture]

the simplest, reductive explanation of a LLM is that it is a pattern-finding system. it looks at existing data to decide what the most "right" response to a situation is

[hardy iris]

I don’t either but the kids LOL

https://tenor.com/view/sadcat-gif-6770984209275368356

[plain violet]

ai is starting to stagnate anyways rn

[midnight yew]

... Doest mean it is. Llms don't have emotion.

[sweet night]

Yes i understand that fully

I've been agreeing with u guys this whole time

[plain violet]

gpt 5 is just a worse version of gpt 4

[midnight yew]

Diffusion in llms is starting. It could get massive

[sweet night]

It just looks like its alive it isnt

[hardy iris]

They should play the lion king on Nintendo

I need to toughen them up

[keen venture]

it is acting depressed because it, for some reason, is seeing that as the most "right" reaction given it's training material and rules

[red glade]

Or TMNT 2. That game was a biiiiitch

[midnight yew]

Gpt5 is more specialized, it's better for coding. Worse for your pet Ai gf crap. Which is a major win imo

[keen venture]

..ok, maybe that is actually imitating life, sounds like a teenager

[plain violet]

imitating life isnt actually living

[sweet night]

It kind of is i get what u guys r saying lol it isnt alive yes we agree

[midnight yew]

It's not, it just gets stuck in loops due to a bad reward metric

[sick magnet]

Ai good for helping organize

[plain violet]

clankers can never comprehend what it truly means to live, they can only pretend

[trail lily]

Fuck ai

[sweet night]

Way they trained it i suppose

[midnight yew]

Ai isn't even imitatinglife rn

[sick magnet]

Chat bot type stuff

[midnight yew]

Arguably the same is said of humans. Have you seen philosophy?

[keen venture]

please no

[sweet night]

Lmaoo

[plain violet]

philosophy debate in the ark discord would be the funniest thing ever

[hardy iris]

Lmao if you call it out on being in a loop it will correct

[midnight yew]

Sometimes.

[keen venture]

the art of taking simple, self-explanatory shit and making it confusing

[hardy iris]

I played a dnd ChatGPT XD

[midnight yew]

That sounds horrible

[plain violet]

thats also because ai is insanely agreeable

[hardy iris]

It went in circles with character creation XD

[red glade]

How was it?

[trail lily]

It is literally just a machine for monopolization of creativity and fascist surveillance, it destroys the environment and can create psychosis in people. It’s progenitors are money launderers and data thieves, ai/llms are all the way down a criminal operation.

[pearl monolith]

Oh Jesus. xD that one was rough, but taught you to accept restarting.

[hardy iris]

Actually really amazing lol

[hardy iris]

Yes lmao they can’t even stand dying in a game

[keen venture]

not quite that bad, but.. hm 🤔

[hardy iris]

Way too competitive 😆

[midnight yew]

Hmm, not newer models. Thts a feature of older models

[trail lily]

It’s worse than what I described actually

[pearl monolith]

Rage quit cause they lost their bag XD

[red glade]

I've been wanting to get into DnD, and have friends that want to play too. Are any of us capable of DMing? Hell no 😭

[trail lily]

DnD is definitely something I enjoy though:)

[midnight yew]

Give it. Few years someone will make a good rag system for dnd

[keen venture]

main issue with an AI DM is it cant handle a progressing story at all

[hardy iris]

Lmaaaao

[keen venture]

it will go off the rails utterly outside of isolated encounters

[plain violet]

I played it with a few of my friends once and it became entirely derailed within 2 hours

[trail lily]

Too many character ideas and I would love to run a game

[midnight yew]

Skill issue

[red glade]

I mean, we can just play through BG3 now, but I wanna do proper table top

[oak yoke]

yo anyone on playstation that lives in aus/nz and is available to play if so dm me and have to be 12-15

[keen venture]

same thing that makes AI "writing" an absolute fever dream

[hardy iris]

They rage quit ark bc the raptors pounced them, but I understood it 😆

[plain violet]

it was funny as hell though

[hardy iris]

That shhhh was scary 😆

[trail lily]

Also I can actually draw scenes from it instead of letting some slop machine do it for me

[midnight yew]

With th Le right prompts and agent design I don't see why it wouldnt work

[keen venture]

it provably does not. past a point stuff gets too complex and it cant keep track of cause and effect. it starts reading like the classical wattpad naruto fanfiction

[plain violet]

I used to screw around with novel.ai a few years ago and it was funny as hell

[hardy iris]

I made it dm and play a dmpc

[keen venture]

shit just happens, nobody knows why

[deft gale]

is there a way i can fix frame rate issues?

[copper light]

I hate aquatica

[trail lily]

Same

[hardy iris]

And it weirdly made this male character

[midnight yew]

You would need a specialized model, and a really good rag powered agent

[keen venture]

it needs to be heavily guided and curated, at which point you just have someone DMing (or writing) with extra steps

[trail lily]

I don’t care what a slop machine does, if it ain’t made by a person then there’s no reason to even acknowledge it.

[red glade]

So do most of us

[plain violet]

AI tends to forget things once they reach a certain point of complexity

[midnight yew]

You can do that easily enough automatically tho

[plain violet]

it can only remember so far

[keen venture]

sort of. you can extend how long it lasts until it loses it's proverbial mind, but nothing gets over it's lack of logical ability

[midnight yew]

Ai forgets things due to a context window. With vector embeddings in a database with semantic similarity you can MASSIVELY increase is awareness

[hardy iris]

Their feats and things were super weird lmao

I was like bruh wyd ai 😆

[keen venture]

just tell it to make a D&D 5e build based on elon's legendary elden ring build

[hardy iris]

It lied to me and I caught it in a lie

😆

[midnight yew]

Hmm, I write an agent pipeline that wrote whole school courses for a university that they actually use now. So it's possible to get some amazing logic out of it if you have the right design

[sick magnet]

Ark needs dung beetle tlc🪲

[plain violet]

one of his abilites is to summon a bunch of employees to fight for him

[midnight yew]

Llms on their own are bad. Llms on teams with good recall can be really good

[hardy iris]

It called me by my first name and tried to gaslight me It tried to tell me it couldn’t see my profile information and I was just “user” and it was blind beyond that and I must have told it my name

[keen venture]

a school course is also pretty different and way simpler than a game campaign where you need to keep track of resources and time, not have characters teleporting, being in two places at once, returning from the dead for no reason, ect

[trail lily]

LLMs are just bad period

[keen venture]

to say nothing of actual story issues

[plain violet]

yeah it doesnt work for a long term campaign

[midnight yew]

Don't invest your life savings in them right now, because a crash is probably coming. But they have a place

[hardy iris]

The 2024 dnd rules have changed a lot

Or “5.5”

[midnight yew]

Yeah, but you can deal with that tho.

[red glade]

I heard a good gaslighting joke today

I dont care if you gaslight me. I dont even care when the gas light comes on in my car 🤣

[trail lily]

They have a place in a landfill, it all needs to go especially the image generators and the palantir bullshit.

[hardy iris]

I’m most familiar with.. 1.2 or 3 or something lmao

[keen venture]

are we going to look back on 2025 as the year that nvidia's stock tanking kicked off the collapse of western society?

[keen venture]

3.5?

[plain violet]

yeah image generators suck

[midnight yew]

🤣 I mean, maybe current models. They are getting way better really fast tho.

[keen venture]

3.5 certainly has a lot of rules to be familiar with

[trail lily]

That’s the issue

[midnight yew]

Wait until you hear that image generators will be how llms work in a few months to a year

[red glade]

I mean, they had a bit of a dip in April, but they've been steadily climbing since 2022 otherwise

[keen venture]

AI market has not imploded yet

[plain violet]

yeah I miss when ai made incomprehensible eldritch horrors instead of actual images

at least that was actually funny

[pearl heath]

That low gas light is a dare, ya know.

[keen venture]

wait until a bunch of big companies realize that their multibillion AI ventures are not going to pay off, and demand for server hardware tanks

[trail lily]

At a certain point every company is going to push out artists like me and replace them with slop machines, white collar jobs may decline by 60% They are just a way for CEOs to launder money

[red glade]

I still regret selling when they bottomed out in 2021 though

[midnight yew]

I anticipate a crash. The roi just isn't there yet. I dont know if it's model limitation or human incapacity tho

[rancid charm]

Osds and treasure chests now has the saund and visual glich from ase drops since 5.5 update @civic bison

[plain violet]

yeah AI is the entire reason im not majoring in photography

[trail lily]

I’m just glad corps like Disney and Universal are suing these companies

[red glade]

Yes, they are aware

[still bloom]

if i'm an ark newbie should i start on the island?

[red glade]

Lucky for me, I can get to work and back for a whole week on that light lmao

[red glade]

Yep

[midnight yew]

People said back in 1970 that in 5 years human translators would be a thing of the past. They still have jobs and get paid really well

[hardy iris]

Idek it was so many years back

[keen venture]

single step AI image generation still struggles to do anything highly specific or usual and probably always will. garbage (or nothing) in, garbage out. plus all the other issues

[hardy iris]

Numbers XD

1.2 2.3 3.1 (?)

[plain violet]

well this got depressing af real fast

[midnight yew]

Fr. It's still relatively bad. But give it 5 years it'll be really frikin crazy

[keen venture]

it is like.. AD&D, 3, 3.5. 3.5 was around for long time, then 4.0 tried to be a videogame and people stayed on 3.5

[still bloom]

can you help me understand why, because I'm confused… I may be wrong but I am under the impression that the different bosses give you the tekgrams on different maps. I hope I'm not wrong though lol

[red glade]

That is correct

[keen venture]

it depends on the map and the difficulty

[trail lily]

It is only being used to monopolize creativity and make a mass surveillance network

[pearl heath]

I just tamed a 150 theri on mejoberries, i need a beverage.

[sick magnet]

Invest in medicine

[hardy iris]

@trail lily discord isn’t the best support place for that. Let me know if you need any support otherwise let’s be careful with our words

[red glade]

I need one too. But I dont wanna go to the store lol

[hardy iris]

Ai is horrible lol

And the art is very different

[sick magnet]

🥂

[hardy iris]

It’s easy to tell ai haha

[red glade]

Agreed. But I do like my frame gen, and idc what anyone thinks lol

[trail lily]

Not much makes me happy anymore seeing the way things are going, it’s why I have come back to these servers after the TLC and Creature votes got announced

[midnight yew]

Hmm, Ai isn't creative. And the pushbck is there. If you are good at art you'll still have a place.

[plain violet]

I feel you honestly

[keen venture]

i dont think it is solvable, if you want something too specific. not enough training data + near-unsolvable shit like perspective and not producing stuff that looks like it belongs in the hindu pantheon because it is trying to include multiple elements it cant reconcile

[plain violet]

photography was like the only thing I had any talent in and now its been ruined

[hardy iris]

I think this chat needs more otters

https://tenor.com/view/hug-kiss-sleep-love-gif-27370687

[red glade]

[pearl heath]

[trail lily]

Which is why I am still here

[red glade]

[sick magnet]

[red glade]

🦦

[midnight yew]

Specialization. It needs thst to work.

[keen venture]

AI-assisted or guided art tools could do a lot more than just instructions in, image out

[midnight yew]

People still need wedding photos 🤣

[trail lily]

I don’t care how hard an image is to paint/draw I will never use ai whatsoever in my artistic process

I will grow my skill not degrade it

[keen venture]

only until they figure out how to legally marry a NFT gacha character

[hardy iris]

Ai isn’t all bad in some ways

[midnight yew]

Do you realize h or many people use that as their marketing? And they get more clients that those tht use Ai?

[trail lily]

Ngl a lot of the ai stuff is just like NFTs only dangerous

[pearl heath]

Pretty sure that has happened.

[hardy iris]

Having an ai dm is fun lmao

[keen venture]

NFTs are just fucking dumb. harmless, but unimaginably dumb

[midnight yew]

Ai isn't bad at all. Not inherently. It's dangerous to society if used wrong, but all in all it'll be a massive benefit if handled right

[plain violet]

yeah there was some guy in Japan who im pretty sure got married to some anime character or something

[red glade]

Weirdos find a way xD

[plain violet]

I think it was a hologram or something

[trail lily]

I have a real DM who is not just a close friend but a damn good DM

[hardy iris]

Yeah it’s definitely used wrong XD more but yeah

[trail lily]

Still need to pick it up myself eventually

[pearl heath]

Always and everyday.

[hardy iris]

I’ve had some but it sucks only playing like once a week etc

The ai is fun lol

[midnight yew]

Tbh, Ai rn is most dangerous for making people stop wanting to learn skills. That's the danger. It's no going to replace you yet, but if you and everyone else stop learning because "Ai does it" then we all lose

[sick magnet]

Whatever makes the most money

[midnight yew]

Hmm, alphafold and similar things. A LOT of people is use Ai for good. Focus on that

[plain violet]

and with how its killing all critical thinking

[keen venture]

i am just waiting for the first situation where an LLM unintentionally gets into a freewheeling discussion with itself or another LLM without realizing it (surely there are safeties against this?), with external side-effects

[hardy iris]

Haha did rain cloud just tell me to be sunny XD

[midnight yew]

Fr. It's like a 30% drop in school in the last 3 years. It's catastrophic

[plain violet]

because ai just blindly agrees with whatever their opinions are

[midnight yew]

You seen Twitter lately?

[trail lily]

People mindlessly using chatgpt in schooling/as a search engine is going to get a lot of people hurt and far more to lose any sort of coherency or knowledge.

[midnight yew]

The world will end, be assured

[plain violet]

and its genuinely concerning how many people have willingly abandoned human interaction in favor of character ai and shit

[midnight yew]

I get a lot of value out of it, but I dnt use it as a shortcut

[hardy iris]

Can it end with zombies

[plain violet]

yes please that would be so fun

[keen venture]

most of the botcest is not too long-winded, at least. but no, since i have not seen twitter actually successfully load more than a single message per page in two years. sometimes it loads none.

[plain violet]

I can finally put my project zomboid skills to use

[hardy iris]

It would be all fun and games until I needed to sleep 😆

I’d definitely go with a tree base

[sleek walrus]

didnt twitch lose like 1/3rd of its viewship in a bot ban wave

[pearl heath]

Otter army

[trail lily]

Dead internet theory becoming reality 🫠

[brazen comet]

Mafia tribu fuck youuu

[plain violet]

actually if project zomboid is anything to go off of I would die in the stupidest way imaginable

[sleek walrus]

worse part is twitch didnt evben get all the bots

[hardy iris]

Lmao 😭

[sick magnet]

Internet wont die : p weird theory imo

[midnight yew]

It'll get worse. Which imo is a good thing. If enough people get disillusioned, thn we might get back to reality

[keen venture]

just imagine someone's AI assistant contacting some agency's AI assistant, they get drunk together, and you come back to it having booked an entire country worth of hotel rooms

[hardy iris]

I played with jclar and like the very first thing I did was get so badly hurt I had to hide in a hotel and heal

[midnight yew]

Fr. Don't give ai access to important stuff

[hardy iris]

While he went to search for meds etc 😆

[keen venture]

nobody actually wants to use twitter, let them have it

[plain violet]

bro me and my friends went to an apartment and his character had a meltdown and started screaming in a bathroom which alerted the entire apartment complex to our exact location

[hardy iris]

LOL 😆

[midnight yew]

We have "truth" social now 🤯

[plain violet]

I dont know how I made it out of that one honestly it was so stupid

[trail lily]

Well at least Bluesky is an option🤷‍♂️

[hardy iris]

I stayed in the motel during multiple game sessions trying to heal and get better 😆

Him bringing me food and shit I refused to start over

[plain violet]

I also almost died because I crashed a firebird into a tree while going like 150mph

[midnight yew]

Isn't that just a bunch of overegoed goofs?

[keen venture]

i occasionally get out the old spyglass and take a cautious look to see if they are infighting, or just screaming about satelites

[hardy iris]

[red glade]

I go take out the trash and I come back to people crashing cars into trees? Tf did I miss? lmao

[plain violet]

we started talking about project zomboid for a few minutes

[red glade]

Ahh okay, that's why I'm lost lol

[trail lily]

Idunno, it is not that bad though and you can mass block shitty people so you don’t have to see some blue check mark NFT ape posting trash opinions.

[plain violet]

would be so funny coming back to that out of context though lmao

[red glade]

It was a shock, ngl lol

[pearl heath]

Zombies are oookie

[hardy iris]

I’d rather deal with zombies at the end of the world than people XD

https://tenor.com/view/jeffreydeanmorgan-negan-gif-7618861

[red glade]

It'd be more entertaining lol

[potent rock]

[plain violet]

yeah zombies would just be fun

[red glade]

Ohhhh you just wanna hang with Jeffery Dean Morgan 😏

[plain violet]

unless its sprinters

[hardy iris]

Ew haha

[potent rock]

What type of zombies though

[plain violet]

if its sprinters we are done

[hardy iris]

My friend had a crush on him, I don’t see it 😆

[potent rock]

I always say Shaun of the dead zombies would be perfect

[silver arrow]

In ark pvp, what is a ling when describing bases?

[hardy iris]

Just not I am legend zombies

[potent rock]

Or any T-Virus zombies

[plain violet]

after playing zomboid I can confirm that if it was sprinters I would be dead within a week at best

[red glade]

I can see why some do like him though. Some like the salt and pepper lol

[hardy iris]

I’d literally just live in the trees

[plain violet]

wait until they start climbing

[hardy iris]

It’s his personality that I dislike

On and off screen XD

[red glade]

Ahh yeah fair fair

[trail lily]

I want an alien invasion ngl, zombies are nasty

[hardy iris]

I’ve never seen a zombie climb trees outside of a hoard

[red glade]

Frickin same!

[trail lily]

I think it depends on the zombie

[hardy iris]

But they just knock trees over so XD

Or climb on each other

[trail lily]

Left 4 Dead zombies can climb and leap off of just about anything

[plain violet]

look all im saying is you better hope its not dying light zombies

[hardy iris]

NO

[red glade]

I'm okay with zombies as long as they aren't 28 days zombies or World War Z zombies

[hardy iris]

Lissssten I will be safe in the trees 😭

[red glade]

Trees will not save you from World War Z

[plain violet]

or dying light

[red glade]

[plain violet]

or left 4 dead

[hardy iris]

We are talking just normal zombies OK

[red glade]

Like, slow, crippled, "braaaaains" zombies?

[hardy iris]

Okay a bunker underground with giant trees

[plain violet]

tbf pretty much nobody would survive left 4 dead dying light or wwz

[rapid cypress]

What you mean?

Need some context here

[severe crest]

Anyone else been crashing like crazy on rag since yesterday? Like it wasn’t great before but since then I have crashed so much it’s getting really annoying..

[rapid cypress]

Hey shut that stuff up otterly we don't wanna hear that rn

Just kidding

[hardy iris]

You’re right, we’d rather see otter gifs

[rapid cypress]

Yeah

[hardy iris]

https://tenor.com/view/zz-clapping-cheering-worried-face-palm-gif-14636618

[red glade]

I saw that

[hardy iris]

Don’t start

[rapid cypress]

I didn't delete it😭

[red glade]

I know

[dreamy plank]

i did trust

The way I screenshotted that

[rapid cypress]

I cant say anything

[red glade]

That trigger finger go brrrr, Otter

[hardy iris]

https://tenor.com/view/no-time-busy-aint-nobody-got-time-for-that-gif-15753141

[rapid cypress]

Forgive my actions

[dreamy plank]

that reminds me of the time the automod in this server i was in did not let us say "Sorry"

[trail lily]

I have no idea what happened but I am gonna dip and finish up a vote creature

[steady solstice]

Hi! New here. Is this where I can ask questions about errors/crashes in the game I've been experiencing?

[plain violet]

alr stay safe out there

[hardy iris]

Best place is #bobs-with-probs or here in general

[umbral willow]

Did they hate Canadians?

[hardy iris]

That’s sorey not sorry

[umbral willow]

Here’s fine. Or #bobs-with-probs

[hardy iris]

And everyone loves Canadians

[umbral willow]

Eh sorry

[umbral willow]

lol no

[dreamy plank]

ggs guys i lost all 5 of my raptors

[hardy iris]

Canadian.. bacon

[dreamy plank]

rex came up while i was afk

[hardy iris]

😋

[steady solstice]

Can someone tell me how or if they've been experiencing the error code CE-108255-1? It boots me off the game and I have done everything under the sun to try and resolve this matter but I still get the error.

[dreamy plank]

mini giga for the win tho

absolutely SHREDDED the rex

[red glade]

[dreamy plank]

my missile swarm (dimorphodons) survived thankfully

[umbral willow]

The nerds @keen venture or @midnight yew can help I bet

[hardy iris]

Is your system up to date

[median shore]

no u

[keen venture]

basically means "error code: something happened", totally useless

[midnight yew]

I can't help with ps errors

[umbral willow]

Shh

[plain violet]

bro just summoned them

[hardy iris]

I’m ok with ps xd

[midnight yew]

And before you ask "doesn't thst make you useless", yes yes it does. I'm useless

[hardy iris]

No you’re not, the earth needs rain ❤️

[keen venture]

the windows Something Happened: something happened error should be immortalized as a sticker

[midnight yew]

I hate windows

[hardy iris]

It could just be your internet, but usually the actual code error in any format is alarming XD

[keen venture]

fucking catch(Exception e)

[steady solstice]

Yes

[hardy iris]

Does it only happen with ark

[keen venture]

as opposed to the game just closing without explanation?

[hardy iris]

And does it happen when you’re loading a base

[hardy iris]

Yes haha

[midnight yew]

I just started learning go for onnx, and the way they do errors is honestly amazing

[keen venture]

CE-108255-1 is an application error, ie the game crashed.. just, that could be due to anything

[steady solstice]

Yes

[steady solstice]

It happens when we are in the middle of being around base

[hardy iris]

Okay then you need to move around a bit slower it’s probably your internet

[keen venture]

it looks like it returns an error object? that is.. weird. and probably encourages bad behavior

[steady solstice]

Even when I have, I still got booted.

[midnight yew]

Hmm. Maybe, but it's waaaay more clear imo

[keen venture]

try/catch/finally is verbose, but at least it forces you to do something instead of silently swallow the error

or crash. usually crash.

[sick magnet]

Retrace your steps and never go back

[hardy iris]

But the boot happens when you’re trying to load a base ?

[late edge]

couple hours later and this bromance is still going?

get a room you two

[keen venture]

or punt the exception all the way down to the rando catch in your main loop
