[green imp]

XD

so boo(m) isn't allowed either XD

[frozen gazelle]

Really? I think they're still adjusting the bot, so it might be worth bringing up to a mod

[young ridge]

I have a problem where I'm active in a discord for like a week max and then drop off the planet

[frozen gazelle]

Hey, me too xD

It's usually joining a new community, too

[glad estuary]

same

[frozen gazelle]

I'm alright with it on my end, at least. I somewhat prefer solitude

[glad estuary]

yeah, i usually keep to myself

[normal crescent]

They need to add voicechats amiright!?

[young ridge]

No

Anyway

[frozen gazelle]

Not really lol

[young ridge]

Thats why I'm usually like "hey you can find me over here" because it's just easier than keeping up with giant discord full of literally thousands of people.

[glad estuary]

you'd only here laughter/chucklng or "Bruh..." from me...

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, generally if I get along with people, I'll add them or join another discord they have when there's bigger community discords I end up in

I talk though, it's just I like being alone too xD

[left sable]

I generally read message and never go in voice chats when i join a huge discord, I never talk or just a little because i'm struggling to start/maintain conversation, I never know what to say 😂

[young ridge]

at this rate I'm just here to vibe

[frozen gazelle]

If I join a voice chat, I talk about as much or slightly less as I type lol

[normal crescent]

🤔 I generally get over-excited in random voicechats

[frozen gazelle]

Idk, I've never had issues with conversation, so that works in my favor a lot of the time

[torpid rivet]

Any of u heard about the game ECO ?? Any idea if it-s good ? I saw a gameplay and i liked how it looks but i have some doubts about late game...

[normal crescent]

ECO being economy?

[young ridge]

I get easily exhausted in voice chats that are full of people I'm not familiar with.

[torpid rivet]

ECO as in ecology

[knotty hawk]

Ecology

[torpid rivet]

And economy later i guess ... in the game play i saw shops and stuff

[frozen gazelle]

Looks interesting

Looks like it's a builder type game where you have to consider the resources and the effect it has on the environment?

[keen hull]

Seems interesting

[frozen gazelle]

Good concept for a game, at least

[torpid rivet]

Yea that i got and u have to destroy a meteor before it lands in like 30 IRL days

[normal crescent]

@young ridge Human interaction xD

[keen hull]

it might get overly repetitive tho

[young ridge]

I have plenty of that at work thanks

[frozen gazelle]

Essential worker type interaction :'3

[left sable]

Same

[young ridge]

Let me die

[frozen gazelle]

I do not envy you

I've worked in retail before, it was agony

[young ridge]

Overworked and underpaid yeehaw

[normal crescent]

I feel you ... SMH

[frozen gazelle]

And also, no hazard pay during a global pandemic kek

[torpid rivet]

I`ll check it out until Palia releases something playable 🙂

[young ridge]

I'm curbside online pickup. And I'm a freelance artist on the side. In the middle of a pandemic, and having two family members pass.
It 2020/2021 has been a time.

I'm a little tired of people interaction.

[keen hull]

can you give me feedback on it later?

[normal crescent]

Ah my late condolences :/

[frozen gazelle]

I don't blame you, things have been rough on a lot of people

And yea, sorry for you loss as well. That must be painful

[young ridge]

Dad and grandmother, 6 months apart. Finally having their memorials in July now that people are getting vaccinated and it's safer to do it.

[torpid rivet]

Yes i will 😄

[young ridge]

BUT. Time moves on! We simply have to deal with it.

"The rains have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful day. And you are not here to see it."

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, unfortunately, but hopefully there will at least be some good to come in the future to make up for it

Also, how dare you scold me for making quotes earlier :'3

[young ridge]

HEH

It was a good quote that hit me real hard. 5.3 was about saying goodbye after all.

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, I think that screenshot I posted was from that cutscene, wasn't it?

[normal crescent]

5.3 from what?

[young ridge]

Ffxiv.

[young ridge]

Wasn't the one you posted from the vault? Did I miss a screenshot

[frozen gazelle]

The one with my character and the concerned face? No, that was crystal tower in the background :'3

[young ridge]

GOT IT. It's almost 5am and I am so tired.

[frozen gazelle]

Lol, birds are chirping

[young ridge]

...yeah they are fml

[normal crescent]

That's prime time, when the birds start singing

[frozen gazelle]

Get some rest then, the discord will be here when you wake up xD

[young ridge]

[normal crescent]

Where are you from that it's 5 AM?

[knotty hawk]

You can make a guesstimate, no need for specifics

[frozen gazelle]

Eastern Time Zone lol

[normal crescent]

Ah okay so that's US

[young ridge]

I'm. On a hand.

[keen hull]

10 am here , hi from across the ocean o/

[left sable]

11 am here

[balmy pilot]

11 here as well

[dark heart]

just finished critical roles campaign finale at 2am

[normal crescent]

Nicus Nicus, are you perhaps.. German?

[left sable]

Nope, French, Nicus is a private joke with a friend

[keen hull]

i'm trying to learn german, so if any kind german person would like to help me with some basics i would appreciate

[ionic bane]

4am here. Worth it. I'm bawling

[normal crescent]

@keen hull I am decent at german, dunno if i'm good enough to teach it

[frozen gazelle]

I need to learn Japanese, like the filthy weeb that I am lol

[normal crescent]

Lol

[frozen gazelle]

Too much media that I consume is out of Japan

[normal crescent]

Be a proud filthy weeb

[left sable]

Started to learn japanese, yeah i'm a filthy weeb too

[keen hull]

it would be just writing a few greetings and stuff like that and you would say "y thats not how it's done"

nothing fancy

[normal crescent]

Hallo wie geht es dir?

Do you know how to reply?

[keen hull]

trying , im really at the start of the starts

[frozen gazelle]

I mean, I think my avatar tells enough of a story to my level of degenerate weeb

[knotty hawk]

When did it become filthy weeb instead of, a degenerate

[keen hull]

just comes to mind "Ich das gut, danke"

[frozen gazelle]

It was filthy originally, if I remember right xD

I can't remember what 4chan started it with

but I think it was filthy weeb, then degenerate later on

[dark heart]

@ionic bane I was trying to fix my sinuses and then Matt started crying and it was all over

[normal crescent]

Mir geht es gut, danke

At least you got "Gut" and "Danke" right 😉

[keen hull]

i'll neeed way more pratice, thank you

[normal crescent]

Check your PM

[left sable]

Sorry it was a good time to post it

[knotty hawk]

Is that mirrored ?

[left sable]

That is the joke yup

[ionic bane]

I lost it when Caleb sent away the book, I lost it when Veth conjured the illusion before break, and I lost it COMPLETELY when Matt started to lose it

[dark heart]

I MISSED the illusion because distracted but my bf saw it and had described

[minor sky]

cant believe i put in effort to read something that ended up roasting me

[dark heart]

any time Matt cried I cried bc he never cries

so me too LMAO

[ionic bane]

Distracted?? At any point during an eight hour broadcast??? Fake fan 👀

[normal crescent]

So Nicus, what does it actually say? i'm too dumb

[dark heart]

@ionic bane we went to go get pizza and my bf had the stream on his phone but SO many things went wrong on that trip that I missed a few sections out of shere anger over PIZZA

[ionic bane]

I'm actually low-key impressed it kept my attention for a full eight hours, that's a testament to the quality of the story those goofs have crafted

[olive rune]

I just finished my latest artwork. I call it : The Degenerate

[ionic bane]

Pizza related crimes are an appropriate distraction for sure

[dark heart]

:,^(

[left sable]

the picture i sent ?

[normal crescent]

Yaaas

[olive rune]

I was actually robbed at gunpoint for pizza once

[green imp]

I cant blame the robber tbh...

anything for pizza

[left sable]

look at minaverus message a little up there

[normal crescent]

Ah ic, thanks Minaverus

[olive rune]

np

[left sable]

Nice profile pic btw @olive rune

[olive rune]

lol thanks

[normal crescent]

Cars > Anime

[frozen gazelle]

Depends on the car and the anime lol

[olive rune]

I think "OverallWereHappyWithCorruption"s is pretty hilarious lol

[normal crescent]

Very true

[left sable]

Oh ! Anyone pumped up for the Komi san anime adaptation ?

[normal crescent]

Fav car @frozen gazelle ?

[knotty hawk]

How about

A bicycle

[frozen gazelle]

Street car or every car?

[knotty hawk]

Environmentally friendly

[normal crescent]

Any!

[olive rune]

Nicus I keep seeing the stills for that PV but I haven't watched it yet. Haven't read the manga either

[frozen gazelle]

Street, probably either a WRX or 2012 Accord SI (I think? My uncle had it and that thing went quick)

I like the McLauren F1 more than anything though. It just looks and feels good xD

[normal crescent]

So also your taste in cars is slightly Japanese 😛

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, Subaru, Honda, and the Mitsubishi Lancer was another one

[left sable]

If you like slice of life manga/anime, wholesome materials and just good time, i recommend it ! But you want something with fights, blood and all, don't read it

[frozen gazelle]

How about you, Sig?

[normal crescent]

I'm a big Mazda fanboy

[olive rune]

I really liked Tanaka-kun wa itsumo kedaruge

[normal crescent]

But i can apriciate nearly every car, except for the Fiat Multipla

[frozen gazelle]

xD

[olive rune]

And Kobayashi san

thats kinda SOL I think?

[left sable]

Didn't read it

[frozen gazelle]

I have to say, the RX5 I think was one of my favorites to drive

[normal crescent]

MX5?

[left sable]

Yup and Kobayashi is nice !

[frozen gazelle]

Or was it the 7, crap I can't remember anymore

Was it MX?

[normal crescent]

Haha wait

[frozen gazelle]

I should look it up xD

[olive rune]

Yea I haven't really been into fighting anime lately. I guess maybe because I'm getting old lol

[normal crescent]

I send you both of them

[olive rune]

Although Jujutsu and Boku no Hero I can't ignore

[normal crescent]

If you aren't into fighting anime atm

Have you seen my roommate is a cat?

[proud turret]

Ah i see, i've entered the weeb section here.

[left sable]

Same, i'm on m chill period, jujutsu kaisen is waiting on my list tho

[ionic bane]

I've heard great things about jjk

[frozen gazelle]

With a Jiraiya profile picture, I think you'll fit right in lol

[proud turret]

Let me tell you a tale..

The tale of Naruto Uzumaki...

[frozen gazelle]

Lol, please no. I stopped watching naruto so long ago

[left sable]

Oh look an other filler ep !

[frozen gazelle]

Exactly xD

[proud turret]

Hey! These fillers are totally fine, look at all my researches for my books!

[left sable]

I never watched the end of shippuden mostly because they mixed filler and canon story on the same ep, kinda sad

[olive rune]

My friend and I have been watching Nagatoro its pretty cringe hilarious

[frozen gazelle]

I think it's pretty cute, considering the setting

[proud turret]

Yes but it's also kinda...interesting i guess

[proud turret]

For sure but i want to watch it when every season is out

[left sable]

Nagatoro is so nice ! I read it too and it is so good !

[frozen gazelle]

I'm looking forward to "Redacted" of "Redacted" season 2 :3

[proud turret]

Never seen that

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, I think Slime isekai season 3 and Maid dragon season 2 are supposed to come out next season, aren't they? Or was slime isekai s3 coming later

[left sable]

it is slime isekai s2 part 2 no ?

[proud turret]

Everytime there is an anime with "slime" or somewhat like that in their names it's suspicious for me ^^'

[left sable]

It is on my list, but didn't watched it atm 😂

[frozen gazelle]

Is it Season 2.2?

Slime isekai is "That time I got Reincarnated as a Slime", and it's actually pretty good. It's definitely an OP protag power fantasy though xD

The main character is basically god

[left sable]

Yeah but the "megiddo" scene was so good to see !

[normal crescent]

@keen hull A german just joined this Discord server!

[frozen gazelle]

Mushoku Tensei/Jobless Reincarnation I thought was a pretty good one

[normal crescent]

Cya all, g2g to work

[frozen gazelle]

o/ Nice chatting, Sig

[left sable]

I'm at work rn lel

[frozen gazelle]

I liked that the main character of Mushoku Tensei wasn't an OP protag lol

[left sable]

I need to watch it

[frozen gazelle]

It's uncomfortable at times lol

but it's all very well handled

(at least, I feel like it is)

[proud turret]

U german too?

[frozen gazelle]

Just remember, when you think degenerate, the main character is what that word entails to a T initially lol

[normal crescent]

@left sable You probably have a high efficiency hahaha

@proud turret nope, but i speak german, kind of

[keen hull]

Thanks mate, sorry a bit afk due to work

[frozen gazelle]

I have to say, I wish there were more Fantasy anime and not Isekai anime :'3

[proud turret]

I guess a lot of you are from the US, when Palia comes out idk if i should go on a US-Server if it's possible.

[left sable]

NGL, the office is quite calm so, hard to be productive 😂

[left sable]

I'm not from the US

[frozen gazelle]

The Dev team is out of the US, so initially, that might be all there is, at least during alpha/beta phase

[keen hull]

it might be a good idea to be in a server that shares your timezone

or not, depending on your schedule

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, that's always the best option, so long as you have the ping

[proud turret]

Oh okay, good to know

[frozen gazelle]

I'm in the US, but I have night hours for US standards lol

[keen hull]

night person i see

[frozen gazelle]

What's the sun

[proud turret]

Yea thats true, i just hope that there will be "enough" player on a german or EU server

[keen hull]

i don't know, been pale af my whole life

[frozen gazelle]

xD

[left sable]

I see the sun only when I need to go to work 😂

[proud turret]

Ping in germany hahaha we are the worst over here

[frozen gazelle]

I'm sure there will be, this type of game caters to a very wide audience, so players will be from all different backgrounds

[keen hull]

it's weird to be pale skinned in a zone where sun and beaches is the primary source of entertainment

[frozen gazelle]

I mean, I could say the same xD

[radiant wind]

There will be, don't even worry about it

[frozen gazelle]

The only reason I'm not paler than I would be is because of my complexion

[keen hull]

well tbh my youth was spent mostly gaming and now i work from home so, constantly sheltered

[frozen gazelle]

I was lucky enough that I worked outside enough after I was out of school, but I grew up the same xD

I had to ride my bike to and from school though, so that probably helped keep me tan enough to look healthy

[ionic jolt]

pc requirements anyone ?

[proud turret]

Oh yea that would be interesting to know

[radiant wind]

At least 3

[ionic jolt]

yea having a pc from 2015

[frozen gazelle]

They said it would be low in the #❔│game-faqs if I remember right

[keen hull]

hope it's not that high on the requirements, really hard to get decent computers right now

[ionic jolt]

oh

[frozen gazelle]

Based on how it looks and that it's running UE4, probably a pc from 2015 should be fine

[radiant wind]

Are there minimum system requirements for the Pre-Alpha
I still need to track the details down for this, so expect to see this question updated soon. (Spoiler: the specs are real low).

[proud turret]

Thats good, i'm fine with low graphics if skills, story and gameplay are good.

[ionic jolt]

nice ty for the info

[frozen gazelle]

The trailer was using the in-game engine, so that's a good point of comparison

[radiant wind]

It looks somewhat Fortnite adjacent in art style to me (though I have an untrained eye) so I would expect it cover a wide spectrum of pc specs

[plush patio]

i think its graphic requirement is around genshin impact

[frozen gazelle]

I would say it probably is similar graphic intensity as fortnite, maybe slightly higher?

[plush patio]

its very similar to genshin

[frozen gazelle]

Is it? I haven't looked at Genshin in forever lol

[plush patio]

LOL

yea , believe me . its super similar to genshin

[frozen gazelle]

Well, not the game, at least. kek

A lot of people do Genshin art on twitter, right? Or is that just one of the many passing trends

[plush patio]

genshin is rly popular these days. i just got problems with its character pools. and yeah genshin character design is rly cool so its obvious that ppl wants to do some art thingies around it

[real knot]

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of the Genshin art style.

[plush patio]

but my hope for this game is high

[frozen gazelle]

I struggle with gacha anything, so I've decided to stay back from it xD

Mainly just how annoying it can be with trying to build a team

[plush patio]

pls dont be like oooo yea 5* characters or things like this! just developing the world around ourselves is enough for me to play this game for years

[plush patio]

u did the best thing. genshin gatcha sux

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, the world from what I played was super interesting. The storyline was pretty easy to get into as well

xD

[real knot]

I don't recall them saying anything about this being a gacha. This is an MMORPG

[frozen gazelle]

kek

[real knot]

Ohhh I misread what you typed. My apologies.

lol

[frozen gazelle]

An MMO with Gacha Elements

[plush patio]

yea . ikr . i just wanted to show my hatred toward genshin gatcha xD

[plush patio]

F

[frozen gazelle]

Look man, I had enough Gacha with Girls Frontline, and I didn't even hardly spend money on that game

[real knot]

Genshin isn't even that bad though

[plush patio]

i was a complete free player with 40 pools and just 1 5* xD

[real knot]

The weapon banner is a bit rough

It happens

[plush patio]

40 x 10 pools

[real knot]

I think I was dropping around $100 a month for 6 months

[frozen gazelle]

To hell with that xD

[real knot]

But I'm at the point now where I have too many characters to build

Have my Razor and Xiao fully built now

[plush patio]

the thing is why the weapon and the charcter pool is fused . didnt see anything so ugly like this in any game

[real knot]

Nah,

I hear ya gacha is hell. It is a common meme

[frozen gazelle]

I'm super cheap, I get stuff on sale, spend money on things I'll enjoy for long periods of time, and budget hardcore with food xD

[real knot]

It is gambling

You can enjoy all of the content in Genshin as F2P

[frozen gazelle]

Gacha, Casino, Stock Market, it's all the same

[real knot]

mmm

Casinos and Stock Markets can make you money

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, I know. I just get caught up with wanting characters and get disappointed

[real knot]

Gacha is just lighting money on fire lol 😄

[frozen gazelle]

xD Depends. I think in CS:GO you can sell stuff off for money, can't you?

[real knot]

For sure. I understand that

Yeah but CS:GO isn't a gacha is it? I don't know. I've never played it.

[frozen gazelle]

I consider Loot Boxes and Gacha to be pretty much the same

[real knot]

Ahhh loot boxes. Fair play.

Gacha

[plush patio]

u can

[frozen gazelle]

See, gacha can make you money xD

[plush patio]

im a simulation game-type lover so environment is soooooo important for me. this game is beautiful i think

[plush patio]

Xd in some cases , yea

[wooden pond]

hiya

[real knot]

Fair point. The gachas I play don't make me money :p

[wooden pond]

I play girls x battle 2 it's a fun idle game

I don't spend any money but gain enough gems to buy stuff by just completing quests

[plush patio]

played around 1:30 mins xD

[frozen gazelle]

I haven't played that, but I think GFL was the most F2P friendly gacha I've ever played

[plush patio]

i vote for exos heroes

[frozen gazelle]

And the balancing between high star and low star units was actually really fair

[wooden pond]

GFL?

[plush patio]

if u mind to play mobile games xD

[frozen gazelle]

Girls Frontline

[real knot]

GFL is pretty good. Genshin really isn't that bad. You get enough characters to do what ever you want in the game F2P.

[wooden pond]

Oh I thought like granblue fantasy

[frozen gazelle]

I played it for a long time, but now I don't play mobile games anymore xD

[wooden pond]

I'll try that game out

I am binging mobile gaming atm

[frozen gazelle]

GFL can be a bit confusing, so looking up guides on stuff you're unsure of is something I'd recommend

[wooden pond]

Will do

[real knot]

For sure look up guides for GFL

[plush patio]

play epic seven

[real knot]

I just couldn't handle the combat in GFL

Epic Seven is really good as well

[frozen gazelle]

It gets hecktic in GFL lol

[wooden pond]

Is that good?

Oki

[real knot]

I just got sucked into gear farming and burned out. E7 is like a second job.

[wooden pond]

Time to have more games to play

[plush patio]

epic seven is the only game that some 3 stars characters beats 90* of five stars

90%

[wooden pond]

Oh really

[plush patio]

and lovely character design

[wooden pond]

Oh frick it's landscape mode

[real knot]

There is also a free RPG that is really good. "The cat beyond time."

Dang.. what was the name..

[wooden pond]

That's the only thing I hate

[frozen gazelle]

GFL is similar, but GFL doesn't have PvP at all, I think

[raven violet]

arknights is a pretty good gacha game

[plush patio]

op gameplay . i liked it so much. but got not enough time to play any mob game anymore

[frozen gazelle]

Also GFL2 is supposed to get a beta release soon, isn't it?

[real knot]

Another Eden: The cat beyond space and time.

Really good free rpg in the Final Fantasy style

No stamina system like most gachas either

[plush patio]

epic seven- exos heroes - dragonblaze these three are super nice free to play RPGs that can be so addictive.

[real knot]

So you don't have to worry about being maxed out on stamina and just binge the game if you want

[wooden pond]

Oh cool

If you want cat game just get the og Kittens Game lol

I suck at it

[frail badge]

Hi friends 🤗, how is everyone doing today?

[plush patio]

yo . doin good. wut about u

[frozen gazelle]

Alright, having a nice early morning watch of some youtube lol

[frail badge]

I'm doing alright, thanks for asking!

[limpid yacht]

Helo

[frozen gazelle]

Henlo

[wooden pond]

Im alright just laying in bed w stomachache. Gotta clean up my room soon and then reply to job offer I got

[plush patio]

GL

[frozen gazelle]

Hope you get the job, more funds to toss into mobile games xD

[plush patio]

imma listenin to some ASMR xD love them xP

[wooden pond]

i got emailed by the job centre they have like 5 job openings in my expertise (call center work lol) so I'll prob even get to pick

[frozen gazelle]

Nice, that'll be good

[plush patio]

ah so u are an IT man ?

[frozen gazelle]

You might be able to get some more competitive wages too xD

[plush patio]

or is there any other call center jobs besides IT LOL?

[wooden pond]

yes and no. I study IT but it's just normal call center work for companies like ISP and Government services

not uh Indian call center work 🤣

im not gonna be scamming people with Microsoft tech service lmao

[plush patio]

im a noc junior admin xD

[wooden pond]

ah cool :)

[plush patio]

configing cisco switches , runnin virtual servers and doin firewal;l job for the entire network xD

[frozen gazelle]

Oh nice, I did hardware installation for stuff like that when I was younger xD

[plush patio]

same . all should know about hardware before going higher

[wooden pond]

i don't have a degree yet and part time it work at companies is kinda nonexistent here otherwise I'd do a tech job. But I'm not going to teach old grannies how to use word or fix someone's pc cause I hate helping ppl lol

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, definitely

[wooden pond]

I hope i can get the job offer in a call center for train services, it seems nice enough you don't need to make a ton of sales

and it's gov funded company

i hate being reliant on sales in call center work

im bad at selling ppl stuff they don't need

[plush patio]

i worked for a optic fiber installation company before. so i completely know what is the hardware in a network before i do config the network. xD ppl should grow up from the bottom to the top 😄

[wooden pond]

that's cool :)

my brother used to work in a factory that made optic fiber

[glossy tiger]

Hardware stuff is intimidating

Glad I went into software

[plush patio]

ah cool 😄

[frozen gazelle]

Fiber tech was super awesome to learn about, I wanted to get more into it when I was working with my union, but I didn't get the opportunity :'3

[wooden pond]

he could have gotten a degree offer from the job but cause of corona he didn't get an extended contract and so he had to quit

[plush patio]

vice versa XD

[plush patio]

yeah , optic fiber is rly amazing . its really a super effective tech in network system

[plush patio]

oops. hope he got luckier next time

[wooden pond]

i think he does bathtub assembly or smthing atm

[wooden pond]

also yes 🤣

[rotund raptor]

hiii I know zero about hardware, i’m mostly a console gamer and I was raised on apple products ( I know i’m sorry ) but i’m happy to be here

[glossy tiger]

Apple how dare you

[frozen gazelle]

Welcome! lol

[plush patio]

workin and knowledge about what u do is good in anywhere . its not important where u work. its important that HOW you work.

[frozen gazelle]

Hopefully Palia will work on Apple platforms, if you don't have a PC lol

[wind granite]

Break time. How goes it people of off-topic

[rotund raptor]

I know I knoooooow i’m sorry

[glossy tiger]

Hopefully you move on from Apple to play Palia and literally anything else

[frozen gazelle]

The basement is still a party @wind granite xD

[glossy tiger]

Apple products need to be burned to cleanse the curse

[plush patio]

yo. things that are not open source are enemy of ppl like us xD

[wind granite]

The basement is where the real fun is at anyways

[rotund raptor]

if not my partner has a set up he’s willing to teach me how to use

[rotund raptor]

that’s why i said sorry 😂😅

[glossy tiger]

You should prove you are sorry by burning the apple products at the stake and sending proof

[plush patio]

lol u are too hateful about apple , dont you xD?

[glossy tiger]

Yes I am

[frozen gazelle]

@rotund raptor That's good. Luckily you can set up windows on an apple computer with pretty minimal complication. I hope that it's able to work out for you

[glossy tiger]

I build my games for iOS because I have to

[rotund raptor]

I am a canadian in a lock down pls no 🥲

[plush patio]

no need to be sry LOL

[frozen gazelle]

Well, Apple has a bad history and business practice lol

[glossy tiger]

Apple is literally as bad as Facebook in terms of how annoying they design their stuff

[frozen gazelle]

Plus, so expensive for every one of their products

[glossy tiger]

Hardware I heard same thing they design it anti-repair

So that you buy the entire thing again

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, their new Iphone is unrepairable 3rd party

[glossy tiger]

When 1 thing breaks

[rotund raptor]

😂 crud I didn’t even think of that! I don’t think i’d be able to run that on an apple I can’t even run 2 sims expansions

[plush patio]

heard it too

[glossy tiger]

Also I had a Mac at the office in pre-corona era and the mouse literally had a charging socket from the bottom

So you cant use it till charged

What kinda design

..

[plush patio]

go for virtual machines maybe?

run a virtual machine and install windows on it

[frozen gazelle]

Also, who needs wired ear buds? Let's force you to use bluetooth ones, then sell you a wire for them so they don't fall out lol

[plush patio]

so u will have windows on your mac xD

[rotund raptor]

heck no

[wooden pond]

Oh you're limited to legacy mode?

[plush patio]

why not O.O !!!

[glossy tiger]

This sums up apple

[rotund raptor]

• add terms being used to google list *

👍🏻

[frozen gazelle]

What even is that?

[plush patio]

i dont even know what im lookin at xD

[glossy tiger]

A mouse

With a charger

At the bottom

10/10

[rotund raptor]

because i’m well aware that apple is not a gaming computer 💀 i know that much

[frozen gazelle]

That's a mouse?

[glossy tiger]

Yes xD

[rotund raptor]

I may know nothing but I know something

[glossy tiger]

Sadly I was forced to use it for a while and first 30m of work I wait for it to charge

And use it sideways

With the touch part on top

[plush patio]

hmmmm . its all about your hardware , bot about apple i believe . but in some ways yea. but u can play games if u listen to me xD

[frozen gazelle]

@rotund raptor Funnily enough, Apple's hardware, at least a while back, was actually really good. Their software was just garbage in terms of compatibility for gaming anything

[rotund raptor]

I am taking notes

[plush patio]

so true

[pastel wind]

... and they were the first to use a Windows based operating system instead of command line.

(widely use)

(which they likely stole)

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, that's one of those mouse's that you roll and slide the middle black bar to use, right @glossy tiger ?

[glossy tiger]

There's a channel dedicating to showing how Apple designs things counter intuitively on purpose forgot the name, very angry dude xD Linus Tech Tips did a video with him trying to disassemble a mac or sth and showing why Apple is scummy

@frozen gazelle What you see is the bottom part of the mouse it's a touch mouse

[frozen gazelle]

Those were the old school Mac's right? I remember using those a long time ago with the multi color logo xD

[frozen gazelle]

Ah, okay

[frozen gazelle]

Oh wow, yea, that's stupid that it's set up like that then. You'd have to drill a hole in your desk to charge and use it

[plush patio]

ah, now i can see a mouse xD

[rotund raptor]

i’m... im the gen after the multi coloured macs, my first computer was a mac book mini and then a macbook

i’m already saying sorry 😂

[glossy tiger]

If you drill a hole you can't move it lol

[plush patio]

:))

[glossy tiger]

Unless it's a very big hole

[plush patio]

true :))

[pastel wind]

Yeah, they had some in the corner of one of my classes in school which never got turned on haha

[frozen gazelle]

xD I wonder if that'd even be strong enough to run Palia

[glossy tiger]

Of course it can run it

Problem with Apple is not capabilities

It's their scumminess

[frozen gazelle]

xD It's design, not product

[plush patio]

its about compatibilities

[glossy tiger]

If you ever build a game for iOS over the years you'll see even on the software side they are a pain

[frozen gazelle]

Speaking of computers, I need to upgrade my video card, if I could find one lol

[glossy tiger]

Compared to Google Play / Android

[plush patio]

bud listen. go for V.machines xD u can do it, i know

[pastel wind]

Cheaper to buy a pre-built and harvest the parts from it

[glossy tiger]

^

[frozen gazelle]

@pastel wind Yea, I've been noticing that, which sucks because I only need the one part

[pastel wind]

Oh sucks

[frozen gazelle]

and don't want to deal with reselling

[pastel wind]

Still may be cheaper/faster if its a graphics card!

[frozen gazelle]

Honestly though, I might still turn a profit

[glossy tiger]

My monitor is 1080p60 I'll just buy gtx 1660

Anything newer is out of stock or 3000$

Lol

[frozen gazelle]

1050ti goes for a few hundred, right?

[plush patio]

its becuz of corona

[glossy tiger]

Yeah

[frozen gazelle]

I want a 1660 xD

[glossy tiger]

1660 is available

The Msi ones are nice

[plush patio]

companies that produce chips have a hard time finding workers

[glossy tiger]

More like they are already at capacity

[plush patio]

mine is 1070TI

[glossy tiger]

There's 2 main companies

[frozen gazelle]

Really, I could get a 30 series from a prebuilt for not a lot, by comparison, but it just feels like a headache

[glossy tiger]

Next branch in 2030

So this will go on for a while

Sorry 2023

[frozen gazelle]

Damn scalpers ripping everyone off

[glossy tiger]

Not scalpers necessarily

Corona = families at home = eventually daddy learns about nfts, mommy wants better specs, kids want more recent games

[plush patio]

3080 should be 770 or something and 3080TI around 999 . but in reality is around 2k $

[glossy tiger]

There's a documentary about this but yes scalpers dont help

Don't buy overpriced shit anyway

[frozen gazelle]

I was thinking 3050 would be more than enough for what I play, and that's retailed at like 400, from what I remember

[plush patio]

found worked PCs in local market around 1900 EU with a 2080Ti

but i cant trust them btw. farmed G.Cards are dead cards

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, definitely lol

[plush patio]

+good price

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, apparently it thought g . card was a link lol

[pastel wind]

Sometimes you can get the nvidia founders cards for a good price but I don't know if they still have stock

They are sold in limited numbers / in waiting lists

[frozen gazelle]

but yea, I got my pc for about 1200 usd and it just needs a gcard upgrade

[glossy tiger]

Do you have a pc that can support 3050

[frozen gazelle]

It probably would need a power supply upgrade, but it has the space for it

Barely, at least lol

[glossy tiger]

You got a 4k monitor or just buying it to be future proof

😄

[frozen gazelle]

Would have just been future proofing xD

[plush patio]

u need a tower i think for a 3050

[frozen gazelle]

I don't run anything beyond 1080

I have a desktop tower

[plush patio]

good then

[frozen gazelle]

It's not massive though like some of the ones I see xD

But yea, 1660 would be a pretty ideal upgrade if I can get one for a good price

I wouldn't need to do anything with my power supply if I got one of those, I believe

[plush patio]

1660 is a lil lower in performance against a 1070 so its a good G.Card

1660 super im talkin about indeed

[glossy tiger]

1660 super yes

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, maybe I was thinking a super then

[glossy tiger]

Not basic 1660

And not Ti

[leaden raven]

Hi, little tip space is not the only thing you should care also the pcie slot is important just google your motherboard and look what slot you have there

[frozen gazelle]

I have to look it up. I can't remember what I researched a while ago lol

[plush patio]

yup. 1070 is barely better than a 1660 super

[glossy tiger]

you can check videocardbenchmark site

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, that's a good idea

[plush patio]

just type X vs Y xD

[leaden raven]

and dont forget Nvidia is good but AMD is also good so compare between them

[frozen gazelle]

How do I look up the motherboard I'm using again? Is that in the dxdiag info?

I've never used AMD before, so I'm unsure of what to look for :'3

[plush patio]

new chips are so cool for AMDs. but u need a liquid cooling for the AMD CPUs

[red epoch]

use CPUID HWMonitor

[leaden raven]

the motherboard you can look under systeminformation

[red epoch]

just open the panel of the pc and make a picture

[leaden raven]

for the new ones not anymore and we are talking about the GPU

[pastel wind]

If Windows goto System Information and lookup baseboard

Windows, type msinfo

[frozen gazelle]

Baseboard product/version?

Yea, perfect

[plush patio]

in cmd type cmid baseboard

[frozen gazelle]

then from here I look up the PCI slots and compare it to the gcard I'm looking for, right?

[plush patio]

wmid*

[leaden raven]

somethin like that (i am from germany, in english there should be BaseBoard manufacturer)

[leaden raven]

yes

[red epoch]

any board can handle a gtx1660

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, it looks like I'd be fine to handle the 1660 Super

[leaden raven]

nice

[frozen gazelle]

BaseBoard Product 0H0P0M
BaseBoard Version A00

[red epoch]

😮

[neat trench]

ayo did you guys see amd's fsr

apprently it will work on nvidia cards as well

[frozen gazelle]

It looks like it uses the same type of pci as my 1050 ti, just two of them with an 8 pin

[neat trench]

my 1660ti just got its lifespan increased

[frozen gazelle]

Nice

[neat trench]

i just hope devs will support fsr

[red epoch]

if you already have a 1050 it should work

[neat trench]

literally free framerate

[red epoch]

no, amd fsr is bad

[neat trench]

but free fps 😞

[frozen gazelle]

Ah, I'll still need to upgrade my power supply, damn

[red epoch]

lose view distance

[neat trench]

seasonic makes some really good psu's

never had an issue with them

[red epoch]

cause its a post procesing techn

[neat trench]

yeah i know

but it helps with longevity of components

[red epoch]

if you play non fps games yes

[frozen gazelle]

Speaking of longevity, what're some good practices for making your gcard last?

[neat trench]

i play destiny a lot, can't say i care about pvp that much in the game

[frozen gazelle]

Or just, hardware in general lol

[red epoch]

but why have 120FPS when monitor handle 60Hz....

[neat trench]

i always put my pc to sleep

never full shutdown

cuz the surge that goes through your components in a cold boot can strain them if done extensively

[red epoch]

undervolt is a good practice

also get a SAI

[neat trench]

yeah I've undervolted my stuff for good measure

plus lower temps are always welcome

[leaden raven]

I clean my PC at least every 3 months with a high pressure air spray so that there is no dust left.

[red epoch]

SAI = UPS (im spanish)

[frozen gazelle]

What's an SAI and how do I set up undervolting?

UPS is still an unfamiliar term :'3

[neat trench]

undervolting is different for every system, look up guides on what would work for your cpu and gpu

[leaden raven]

uninterruptible power supply but im not sure 😄

[pastel wind]

Uninterruptible Power Supply

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, I just looked for one, and that makes sense

[pastel wind]

... so a powercut won't affect your PC

[red epoch]

yes it's good for components

[frozen gazelle]

And then guides are unique per computer. That makes sense since every system is different

[neat trench]

im on a laptop so a ups isn't really necessary for me

[red epoch]

cause the UPS function on a laptop is the battery

[neat trench]

yeah

[frozen gazelle]

You can change power draw from stuff in your windows setup right? (Like power options and etc)

for undervolting*

[neat trench]

undervolting is done through software that is specific to your cpu and gpu not through windows

[frozen gazelle]

Ah, okay

[red epoch]

but care with this technic

[pastel wind]

Some manufacturers software have a setting to do this automatically for you if you are not familiar with it

[leaden raven]

I am now gone again if you still need help you can write to me, would like to read my manga further. Bye

[neat trench]

bruh

[frozen gazelle]

o/ LordC lol

Yea, no links allowed in the server xD

You can just send it to me directly if you want

[neat trench]

this is my system

i added a 1tb drive to it

i bought it cuz i thought i would be moving to uni

but then lockdown happened

[red epoch]

SSD or m.2?

[neat trench]

ssd

the boot drive is m.3

m.2*

[red epoch]

oh ok, better

[neat trench]

i handed down my original computer to my younger brother

now my desk feels super empty with just a laptop on it

[red epoch]

you should get an aditional monitor

[neat trench]

i was considering it

but I'll wait till i actually move to my campus

[neat trench]

i caught this on a sale, i got it for like 800

[red epoch]

get something like this

porable monitor

portable*

[neat trench]

i was thinking of getting a 24 inch monitor

and then propping my laptop next to it

[frozen gazelle]

This is mine, got it about 2 years ago

[red epoch]

never again buy a tower desktop from a manufacturer

build it yourself

[neat trench]

yeah

[frozen gazelle]

I got it cheaper than that, don't worry xD

[neat trench]

oh ok

[red epoch]

anyway you can build it cheapr

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, I think there's a builder that charges a flat fee plus the parts, right?

I don't trust myself enough to build one, sadly

[golden glade]

if you can get your hands on a decent GPU without breaking the bank... My new desktop is waiting just a GPU... One day it shall be glorious... But for now, it's missing it's heart 😦

[neat trench]

gpu shortage is such a bummer

i was going to get a 3060 for my brother

but it costs more than my entire laptop

[golden glade]

nods Yup

I am the le sad

[frozen gazelle]

I'm going to go grab some food, I'll be back soonish

[red epoch]

just look any web from computerparts, they have prebuild(t) systems

[neat trench]

i guess his rx580 will have to witness another 4 years of minecraft 👁️

[red epoch]

mine is from pccomponentes dot com

they build systems too

[neat trench]

I've heard about people buying prebuilts, extracting the new gpu from it and then reselling the gpu at 3x the price

[red epoch]

and have rtx if you chose to build a system, but they do't sell it individually

[golden glade]

Yeah... I already have the rest of my system... only need GPU

[red epoch]

yes

now nvidia can build 2 3080Ti from 1 3090, so hope it helps

hahahah

[neat trench]

@red epoch this is the kind of setup i had in mind, but in black

and probably a bigger mousepad

[nova kernel]

thats a very nice

so clean

[red epoch]

That s mine

😂😂😂

[hot bluff]

I'm now worried.

I spy a red stapler

[neat trench]

that wrist rest is menacing

[red epoch]

jut have it when im "working"

[frail badge]

Can someone help with my PC, I don't really know too much about specs 😅

[red epoch]

sure tell us

[frail badge]

I wanna get a PC in about 20 days but I can't find any cheap and good PCs

I have around 700€

[red epoch]

country?

[frail badge]

Germany

[wicked bramble]

why is there a jude star with w-lan stripes xD

[red epoch]

you will play basic games or FPS¿

[frail badge]

I wanna play some MMOs, use Discord and Spotify, that's basically it, I won't play any FPS games really

[red epoch]

ask paper he drow it

hahaha

and it not jude star, it's just 6 point star from m POV

is not the best one, but it's prebuilt

• no OS

[wicked bramble]

i like pentagrams more, 6 point stars are always 2 triangles

[cerulean spade]

So language eh?

[red epoch]

spanish

[cerulean spade]

Dutchie here

[wicked bramble]

german

[manic egret]

US expat learning Dutch 😄

[radiant wind]

Aangenaam

[radiant wind]

Moin

[cerulean spade]

Heya sweetie 😉

[cerulean spade]

hoi!

[wicked bramble]

moin i hope i get acess to the alpha

[radiant wind]

You and me both

[cerulean spade]

Btw They're my partner, not being creepy XD

[radiant wind]

AH OKAY glad you clarified that lmao

[manic egret]

Just a butt 😛

[cerulean spade]

yeaaaah

[steady verge]

Spanish here!

So so nb variants

Does German have any? It's been some years since I've studied it/talked in it

Btw, this is going to be a staple in my future conversations with the RAE in Twitter, thank you so much

[glossy tiger]

I have no country

Just float around

🐦

[manic egret]

Wise choice

[steady verge]

I wish

[glossy tiger]

Being an outsider has its perks

[cerulean spade]

Definitely didn't when I studied it, but maybe it's changed on a colloquial level

been a while too for me

[night arch]

you are welcome xD

[night arch]

just vibes

[cerulean spade]

RAE? What does that stand for?

[manic egret]

I don't know anything about German, but my Dutch teacher floated the idea (with no malice, just well-meaning ignorance) of "het" or it. Needless to say we both agreed that further hashing out is needed o,o

[cerulean spade]

yeah "it" is dehumanizing

[glossy tiger]

Yep, I speak 4 languages so can roam around the left half of the world

[night arch]

"Real Academia Española" = Royal spanish academy

[cerulean spade]

aaah

[radiant wind]

I have some friends that just use hen/hun iirc

[manic egret]

It seems much more reasonable

[steady verge]

Oooh, I like it

[radiant wind]

Yeah they do

[night arch]

some old institution run by old people with very old ways of thinking

[cerulean spade]

Guys, help me in motivating @manic egret to get to work. They want to stay because they really enjoy talking with y'all

[steady verge]

And I like this even more

[manic egret]

Shhhhhh I don't know what you're talking about

[steady verge]

Awww

[cerulean spade]

You can dooo it!

[radiant wind]

They can open discord in a browser though? at work?

[steady verge]

You can keep us in your mobile? With the app?

[glossy tiger]

This is working

[night arch]

That reminds me of a dude that cycles the world and makes money in patreon by developing a mod for Dwarf Fortress

[cerulean spade]

Postnl mail delivery

[glossy tiger]

from home

[cerulean spade]

prob not a great idea

[manic egret]

Yeah, can't really be on my phone while doing deliveries

[glossy tiger]

@night arch I'm a game dev so doesn't matter where I am

[steady verge]

Damn

[manic egret]

Even with a bike XD

[night arch]

Thats the dream

[steady verge]

We can always continue at a later date?

I've been screenshoting all this conversation for later reference so I can definitely remember you people xD

[cerulean spade]

hell yeah. This place aint going anywhere 🙂

[manic egret]

Fair warning: I'll probably need reminders because my memory is the WORST

[cerulean spade]

I do have real good hopes about how cool of a community this game will retain

[radiant wind]

Makes sense!

[left sable]

It seems i've missed a lot here

[radiant wind]

I'm already so glad they have pronouns tbh

[steady verge]

Summon us when you can!! (with the @, not with a ritual yk)

[radiant wind]

This is correct

[cerulean spade]

yush!

Inclusivity

[glossy tiger]

Well if you're european don't have to dream already no borders for you guys 😄

[radiant wind]

You can do the ritual tbh

[steady verge]

Well, ok, but I demand tea and cookies

[night arch]

For me both work

[cerulean spade]

eeeeeh... Hopefully we'll go back to that state of things

Covid has closed a couple countries off

[left sable]

Wanted to read all messages I missed but, oh boi

[cerulean spade]

understandably, ofcourse

[glossy tiger]

Yeah just meant in general, do you even need a passport haha

[wintry pivot]

brexit

[manic egret]

Tea and cookies and pig blood for summoning. Got it. Got a chocolate based vegan option as well for those summonees who are so inclined 😉

[frozen gazelle]

I've returned

[radiant wind]

Welcome back

[steady verge]

Like I said, I have screenshots of almost the whole convo, you want them?

[cerulean spade]

some borders in Europe are stricter than others. Even within the EU. If you want to go to scandinavia you tend to get checked.

[radiant wind]

DON'T FORGET THE CHEESE!!!!

[left sable]

Nah it's okay !

[glossy tiger]

Ha didn't know that interesting

[frozen gazelle]

Never hurts to have your passport when you travel

[glossy tiger]

Only places I've lived in EU are Prague and France

[earnest scaffold]

the question is.... when you are off-topic in off-topic. are you ontopic in being offtopic....

[manic egret]

ACK! How could I forget something so important!

[radiant wind]

AND THE STROOPWAFELS

[cerulean spade]

Went to Norway and they even busted out a drugdog when we got to the port in Denmark

[radiant wind]

I wish Germany could make proper stroopwafels

[manic egret]

NO THOSE ARE MINE

[steady verge]

If we are expanding the list of ingredients some garlic, bread and tomatoes would be lovely

[manic egret]

hisssss

[cerulean spade]

Drop too

[radiant wind]

Understandable

[steady verge]

Or yk, a pizza

[manic egret]

Ooh yes to that though

[glossy tiger]

A drugdog lol

[left sable]

Come in France we have nice meal !

[steady verge]

Dammit, now I want pizza

[manic egret]

Aaah why you guys gotta make me hungry right before I need to leave for work? XD

R00D!

[steady verge]

Take some crackers for the road xD

[night arch]

Baguette in the name, it checks out

[glossy tiger]

I moved to Istanbul recently for the food kappa

[frozen gazelle]

I just got back from getting food xD

[cerulean spade]

Was on vacay with a couple of buds and I suppose we looked a certain way... plus us coming from the Netherlands gave us a bit of a reputation to begin with

[glossy tiger]

Yeah I know about the looking a certain way thing xD

[cerulean spade]

Kind of an intimidating experience

[steady verge]

Food is always a wise decision factor

[glossy tiger]

I look arab I get checked every stop

[radiant wind]

I should really get some food too tbh

[steady verge]

I still have to wait for my sister to eat ;__;

[left sable]

Sad

[glossy tiger]

This is what I came for

[steady verge]

Btw, do any of you play Genshin?

Maybe we can add each other to other games?

[cerulean spade]

ah that sucks man

[glossy tiger]

You get used to it

[left sable]

Genshin i play it sometimes but not a lot

[glossy tiger]

It gets funny

Was travelling with my canadian friend, he was at the back of the line I was at the front, by the time I was done with proceedings he was already waiting for me 10mins

[cerulean spade]

drools

[steady verge]

Yeah, lately I'm just going in to decorate my teapot xD

[cerulean spade]

Honestly I haven't played a multiplayer game in a good while

[steady verge]

What is THAT
It looks yummy ;_;

[glossy tiger]

Just a glance at Turkish food

[cerulean spade]

Going through Control right now, which is REALLY intruiging

[glossy tiger]

I'm not Turkish but I live in Istanbul and the food is incredible

Variety for days

[cerulean spade]

Oh man Turkish food is like the go to drunk-chow here in the Netherlands

copious amounts of garlic sauce

[radiant wind]

I played it for a bit but I switched to MH Rise

[glossy tiger]

Haha well there literally is an infinite amount of variety so whatever kind you like they will have

[cerulean spade]

Also a huge fan of baklava

[glossy tiger]

It's good but there's only one kind that makes me drool

[cerulean spade]

oh?

[glossy tiger]

I didn't know about it before I came here

So juicy

[cerulean spade]

oooooh yeah those are delightful

[glossy tiger]

I shed a tear whenever I bite

[left sable]

What's this ?

[glossy tiger]

A kind of baklava

Fistik Sarma Baklava

The first one was a type of kebap called beyti kebap

[steady verge]

Omg, that sounds like heaven to me

[cerulean spade]

Honestly most Baklava makes me drool

[cerulean spade]

it iiiis

[glossy tiger]

Yeah they take pride in their food

[steady verge]

You're making me remember that today I was suppose to make a bread run and get garlic bread and I forgot

And now I'm sad

[glossy tiger]

Major reason I stay here lol otherwise kinda boring

[steady verge]

Give me names of garlic food please

[glossy tiger]

Manti

The best

[radiant wind]

I made Butter Garlic pasta just yesterday lmao

[glossy tiger]

There's your garlic

[cerulean spade]

I mean here it's usually shoarma or doner kebab with garlic sauce

[steady verge]

Aw those look like little dumplings I'm so into it

[glossy tiger]

Hm well in Europe the doner they make is not how they do it here

Here it's pretty simple not too saucy

Shawarma is different

Full of garlic and sauces and spices

Lebanese mainly

[cerulean spade]

How is it served traditionally?

[glossy tiger]

Here doner is the common food so nothing too special, they either serve it next to bulgur or as a sandwich with tomato and lettuce

Not saucy at all

[cerulean spade]

Ah gotcha

[steady verge]

Pff, Marvel left me with an... interesting image of shawarma

[cerulean spade]

haha XD great post- interdimentional war grub

[glossy tiger]

What image? xD

This is traditional lebanese beef shawarma btw

Tarator sauce usually

[steady verge]

This one, no one looks very happy xD

[glossy tiger]

Oh 😄

[steady verge]

I don't think I have any shawarma places here in Madrid but I've just found a recipe that looks nice

[glossy tiger]

I doubt you'd really find shawarma in eu unless niche lebanese restaurant

I think mostly you have doner

[cerulean spade]

Ah here we have it on pita. I'm sure that's totally wrong XD

[limpid yacht]

i have shawarma in portugal @glossy tiger

[glossy tiger]

Yeah pita is not a thing

[limpid yacht]

don't if its the real deal

don't know*

[glossy tiger]

It doesn't matter long as it tastes good

Haha

[torpid parrot]

schwarma is exactly the same as a kebab

[limpid yacht]

try francesinha crl

[glossy tiger]

It's not but let's not go there 😄

You'd have to know all the types of middle eastern foods

[torpid parrot]

lets go there

[glossy tiger]

To know that

[glossy tiger]

I just do cause I lived in mid east, turkey, europe and have seen it all

[torpid parrot]

its a bread or flat bread filled with some greens and a meat

[cerulean spade]

A lot of things can be simplified to "be the same" like that

[glossy tiger]

Kebap alone is a big section with many sub types

[steady verge]

What is THAT

[torpid parrot]

what vegetables and meat you put in is of course up to you, but that basic premise is the same in both

[glossy tiger]

Different cooking styles hence different tastes

[steady verge]

Is that a sauce or cheese? Looks like saucy cheese

[glossy tiger]

And different meats depending on what you're talking about

[cerulean spade]

structurally also quite a different mouthfeel

[limpid yacht]

@steady verge portuguese dish, FRANCESINHA, its a meat sandwich covered with a LOT of cheese ham sausages beef etc, covered with a very spicy sauce

[glossy tiger]

Yup crazy how differently tasting they can be based on the type

[steady verge]

OMG

I admire Portugal so much

[limpid yacht]

francesinha is our typical food when we are starving yk? xD

[cerulean spade]

Are hamburgers also the same to you?

[glossy tiger]

Like "chicken shawarma" and "tavuk doner" are pretty much the same type but taste worlds apart you can hate one and love the other

Same for iskender kebap, beyti kebap, etc.

As with many european dishes

[steady verge]

I'm so glad I'm going to have lunch in a bit, I'm starving

[glossy tiger]

It's like saying all pasta is the same

[cerulean spade]

haha XD good food conversations can do that

[limpid yacht]

yeah, we have the same hamburgers as well ofc, but if you ask one portuguese what to choose, i think they will choose francesinha xD

[torpid parrot]

not the same, but i do consider them in the same "family" of dishes. over here where i mfrom, most hamburgers come in regular bread so its closer to a kebap than in america

[glossy tiger]

Shit I forgot I was working

[limpid yacht]

in portugal we eat ALL the parts of the animals, we are very well known for that, we eat the ENTIRE PIG

[steady verge]

Yeah, also dishes from different countries get adapted to the country they end up in, I love the chinese food here but it's got almost no spice and that's a bit nono in China

[left sable]

I just finished to eat and seeing this conversation makes me hungry again

[cerulean spade]

Oh I was more arguing the point that bread with vegetables and meat is kinda a broad definition to be calling everything that's covered by it "the same"

[sweet mason]

Become like me, sustain off of cup ramen

[steady verge]

I just got the no spamming bot, lol

[steady verge]

But but, homemade ramen is so damn GOOD

[limpid yacht]

yeah sure!

[cerulean spade]

That's a bit more reasonable

[sweet mason]

I have the culinary creativity of a sock

[cerulean spade]

I really enjoy cooking but I have been kinda burned out and "bleh" of late, making me not want to put in the effort

[radiant wind]

You can do so much easy stuff with it that it turns back around and becomes easy

[steady verge]

You can subsist on simple recipes!!

[radiant wind]

You wanna share recipes?

[cerulean spade]

Ok that's just mean

[radiant wind]

Can we get a cooking channel lmao

Why would you do this

[cerulean spade]

really good though

but mean

[steady verge]

I was like that until I started following Lizi Qi in youtube and suddenly all my creativity started flowing

[limpid yacht]

so, i think we need some type of cooking skills on palia

[left sable]

I love cooking

[steady verge]

YES PLEASE

[cerulean spade]

I'm down!

[radiant wind]

I think there is

[steady verge]

x2

[radiant wind]

It's filed under gameplay

I'll be the cookiest of characters

[cerulean spade]

Gives the devs maybe some inspiration too for dishes and stuff

[limpid yacht]

that's nice !

[steady verge]

I do

[radiant wind]

One of my fave things I love making is Gua Bao

It's so good every time

[cerulean spade]

oh man her content is so relaxing

[cerulean spade]

I'd need to start writing things down XD

[steady verge]

I've never made that but I want

[left sable]

What's this ?

[cerulean spade]

I can be very ad lib with spices and seasoning

[steady verge]

Another nice channel is Souped Up Recipes, traditional chinese recipes (this time with instructions xD)

[radiant wind]

It's soft steamed buns with pork/beef/chicken that's been very nicely cooked

[steady verge]

This marvel

[left sable]

ok i need this

[limpid yacht]

oneportuguesefarm on twitch, go check it, its my neighboors farm being streamed all over the world xD

[radiant wind]

I have recipes written down but it's in EU units

since I have to translate them from unusable system to metric system

[cerulean spade]

Got a book a while back called "the Science of Spice" and I'm teaching myself to trust my sense of smell and taste more when making stuff and not just stick to spices and herbs I know

[steady verge]

I once made some pan fried bao that I have to repeat and make as often as possible because those things were INSANE

[left sable]

send it to me, i'm in EU so no problems for me

[cerulean spade]

You mean sensible metric ones?

😉

[limpid yacht]

i love spices, i have a small garden with some types of peppers etc, and its amazing the difference between them...

[steady verge]

Send them any way xD

[cerulean spade]

@manic egret loves to garden and basically repurposed our lil balcony to hold quite a variety of crops

[radiant wind]

Exactly!

[radiant wind]

They come with an American video so it's not too bad tbh

[cerulean spade]

my folks got them a compact greenhouse and they went absolutely nuts!

[steady verge]

Nice

[cerulean spade]

I assume links to youtube are forbidden?

[steady verge]

Yup

[radiant wind]

We need that cooking channel please

[cerulean spade]

I wondered why stuff kept dissappearing

[radiant wind]

Is tagging mods okay?

[cerulean spade]

Already suggested it in suggestions 🙂

[tacit siren]

I believe so

[steady verge]

The dumplings in question are Fluffy & Cripsy Dumplings from Seonkyoung Longest in youtube (19 feb 2020)

[cerulean spade]

wrong reply

[radiant wind]

Ah fair!

[tacit siren]

Tea time 🇬🇧😄

[cerulean spade]

I mean it'd be a win win for the devs

[radiant wind]

Very true! And a win for me

Cuase I'm running out of recipes

[cerulean spade]

exactly

[wintry pivot]

ik this is cp not palia but it's still my favourite gif

[cerulean spade]

nice 47

[cerulean spade]

This is a conversation I have to keep having with myself

[radiant wind]

Took a bit to find but these were my Gua Bao

[cerulean spade]

ooooh man

[steady verge]

I'm bringing you people with me to lunch xD
