Gezellig!

[radiant wind]

One thing I can also highly recommend for breakfast is Poached eggs with british muffins, bacon, molten cheese and a greek yoghurt/mayo/sriracha sauce

[cerulean spade]

imma need to go out for an errand rn so I'll talk to you guys later!

[radiant wind]

Good luck, don't slip!

[steady verge]

And I just realized I have pictures of my homemade ramen in instagram

[radiant wind]

Beautiful stuff

[cerulean spade]

stuffs wad of paper towels in mouth I'll try

[bronze pelican]

And I now hate you. I'm hungry now.

[steady verge]

See you later!

[radiant wind]

You're welcome!

[tacit siren]

[radiant wind]

One thing for my fellow Japanese food enthusiasts that relatively easy to make: Okonomiyaki

[frozen gazelle]

I want to make some Takoyaki :'3

[limpid yacht]

portugal food without wine is nothing xD

[frozen gazelle]

Absolutely accurate xD

Tons of the dishes pair super well with wine, especially the fish

[steady verge]

We're having lentejas but without chorizo, there was none ;__;

[limpid yacht]

love it

[frozen gazelle]

Have you been to the Azores, Ryu?

[limpid yacht]

90% of people don't like "favas" but if you like, you will LOVE them

@frozen gazelle i went there for only 4 days unfortunately

[sour lintel]

How i can show instagram in game status?

[frozen gazelle]

@limpid yacht Which island(s) did you go to? I have family on Sao Jorge and it's always beautiful

[feral salmon]

I'm Portuguese and will not touch favas 😭😫

[limpid yacht]

@feral salmon ahahah, who likes it tho? only old people and me xD

[frozen gazelle]

I love favas either raw or when it's done right xD

[steady verge]

This reminds me of natto lol

[frozen gazelle]

I've had some bad favas though, and man is it whack

[steady verge]

Or durian

[feral salmon]

Lol my parents do! It's the texture for me

[blazing fossil]

Lol it definitely is that way for me, too. The fur babies totally took on my love for snacks 😂

[limpid yacht]

yeah, the texture is the same

[feral salmon]

I've been to São Miguel, I'd love to go back

[limpid yacht]

@feral salmon you can't say you dont like this tho

@frozen gazelle exactly in são miguel, i was hosted in ponta delgada !

[frozen gazelle]

@feral salmon I haven't been around Sao Miguel much, but I've been all over Sao Jorge and part of Pico

[feral salmon]

Lol I def wouldn't say no to that

[frozen gazelle]

All this food looks good, and I just finished eating xD

I'm lucky that I can get some good fish nearby, there's a Portuguese community up the street from me, and the fish market I go to gets all kinds of stuff fresh

[limpid yacht]

😩 😩

[steady verge]

Imagine if you hadn't eaten yet

[frozen gazelle]

xD Seriously, I'd be dying, especially since it's only 5:45am for me xD

[limpid yacht]

well, i went to see my dinner photos, and 90% of that, you will see the wine right next to food xD

[steady verge]

xDD

[feral salmon]

I'm trying to find one near me so I can make bacalhau 😂 I need some fish

[frozen gazelle]

No good Portuge has dinner without wine xD

[limpid yacht]

we are not drunk people, portuguese only have more thirst

[steady verge]

I don't really like wine myself but my uncle has a winery and he's like that in every meal xD

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, he's got tons of bacalhau

[limpid yacht]

we have 1000 ways to do "bácálau"

[frozen gazelle]

We usually get salmon, shrimp, scallops, or ahi

We haven't gotten bacalhau in probably a year

[limpid yacht]

you are fine with that tho @frozen gazelle

[feral salmon]

It's so expensive here! Gotta save it for special occasions

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, it can get pricy, especially for good quality fish

[limpid yacht]

yup... its sad because some years ago it was "poor's food"

[left sable]

A good meal with good red wine, always a blast

[frozen gazelle]

Yea :'3

Mackerel was too, wasn't it?

[steady verge]

I think bacalao is one of the less expensive fishes here but I wish salmon was cheaper, it's so expensive sometimes

[frozen gazelle]

I think my dad used to tell me he would go down to the pier and fish them up in the morning after dealing with the farm animals to catch dinner lol

[limpid yacht]

anyone mentioned shrimps?

[frozen gazelle]

Shrimp is good

[left sable]

Shrimps is love

[frozen gazelle]

Especially with the garlic butter wine sauce and the bread :3 with some favas

[limpid yacht]

i can't send more pictures xD i had one of some giants shrimps dinner from 1 week ago

[frozen gazelle]

Deliciousness, I can almost taste it from looking at it xD

[left sable]

Avocado with shrimps is good !

[steady verge]

Look, shrimps are nice and all but crab? CRAB

[feral salmon]

Really?? I don't think I've ever tried that, sounds good tho

[limpid yacht]

well, i wanted to show them before preparation, but discord bot don't let me show it because of "too explicit" wtf

[steady verge]

I think I've had it twice in my life and I want more

[frozen gazelle]

Oh god, crab is good too, yea

[steady verge]

Looooool

[frozen gazelle]

Alaskan king crab, so good

As long as it's fresh lol

[left sable]

Well we do it sometimes in my family

[limpid yacht]

i can stop if you want xD

[steady verge]

Please xD

[frozen gazelle]

Make everyone hungry so they remember to eat xD

[left sable]

I must say, even is shrimps are love, crab is so good, even better than shrimp maybe

[limpid yacht]

crab is amazing as well for sure

[feral salmon]

Do you eat it with rice??

[limpid yacht]

like this ?

king crab

[frozen gazelle]

Yes

[left sable]

It is more of an appetizer

[limpid yacht]

"lavagante" in portuguse

[feral salmon]

Like this?? Looks really good

Gonna have to make some shrimp soon lol

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, that's something I had a while back

[limpid yacht]

😳

[left sable]

something like this

[limpid yacht]

never tried in avocato, seems nice!

[steady verge]

Oh that looks so nice!!

(recipe acquired)

[feral salmon]

Omg the baby shrimp 🍤 I'll have to try it!

[left sable]

Image is from internet

But when i do it, shrimps are not raw, idk how to say that in english but i do shrimps "flambée au cognac"

[steady verge]

Sautéed?

Which is stir-fried if I'm not mistaken?

[frozen gazelle]

Flambee? If I remember right, yea, it's sautee at a high heat with alcohol to set it on fire. It's kind of like flash seering the meat, I think? I can't remember

[left sable]

yup the alcohol is set on fire

[foggy night]

Mann shrimp goes well with everything

[frozen gazelle]

It burns off excess alcohol, from what I'm reading

[left sable]

Yup, only the taste stays

[steady verge]

Yup

[frozen gazelle]

and the flames can cause caramalization, which holds in the flavor, yea

[limpid yacht]

i do it with brandy when doing pepper sauce with some good beef

[frozen gazelle]

God damn, no wonder that kitchen I worked in was hot. Those flames get up to over 500C

[left sable]

Yeah pretty dangerous too

[dull tiger]

Not gonna lie. I love how the off-topic channel is slowly becoming its own mini-community

[cerulean spade]

errand ran

[cerulean spade]

This entire community is great already

[frozen gazelle]

Lol, it's starting to seem like it

[hot bluff]

I think that's the way for all the channels

[dull tiger]

Big agree

[hot bluff]

Hope there's room for me?

[dull tiger]

I vibe with the off-topic channel lol

[cerulean spade]

ofcourse!

[hot bluff]

Yay!

[dull tiger]

Of course. Yes. Sending you party favors.

[hot bluff]

🎉🎉🎉

[dull tiger]

Gotta say though, curse y'all for talking about food earlier. Im HUNGRY now haha

[cerulean spade]

My ADD is also very happy here

[frozen gazelle]

Basement crew accepts all

[dull tiger]

Kalucion. Not that its my business

But have you slept since talking about FFXIV?

[frozen gazelle]

What, no

xD

[dull tiger]

Ahh. Youre easily becoming one of my favorites then. Hahaha

[frozen gazelle]

I'll probably go to sleep in a few hours

"Probably"

[dull tiger]

Sleep is for the weak

[tacit siren]

For those that care, BF6 reveal in 5 days 👀

[left sable]

Was about to say the same haha

[radiant wind]

YES

[frozen gazelle]

Battlefield?

[tacit siren]

Uh huh 🙌

[radiant wind]

Yes

[dull tiger]

Im assuming

I never got into battlefield

[frozen gazelle]

I've somewhat fallen out of love with it since 4 lol

[left sable]

didn't play BF since BF3

[feral salmon]

Isn't it like 6am for you?? 😭😭 Please take a nap

[frozen gazelle]

xD

[dull tiger]

Heck, haven't played a COD in qlmost 10 years. Battlefield seems to have a really excited base atm haha

[tacit siren]

Yeahh the whole world war 1 & 2 is overdone

[frozen gazelle]

Shush, I operate in off hours

[radiant wind]

Cause most of them since 4 have been kinda shit tbh

[dull tiger]

You operate on FFXIV hours.

[dull tiger]

Welp. Lol

[frozen gazelle]

Think of a normal sleep schedule, then switch AM and PM and that's what I function on

[tacit siren]

6 is set in the "near Future" so not quite the BF 2142 I wanted

[radiant wind]

I would welcome a BF2142 remake though

[frozen gazelle]

That would be pretty amazing

[radiant wind]

But near future is good enough for me, please just anything that isn't incomplete or shit

[dull tiger]

Oh! Without saying anything because I "can't"

Is anyone else playing... Temple Run (but not Temple Run) today? IYKYK

[radiant wind]

Literally give me the bare minimum I'll be happy

[frozen gazelle]

Wow, can't say as sault?

[tacit siren]

Nah

[dull tiger]

BOOO

[frozen gazelle]

bummer xD

[tacit siren]

I miss Titan bath salt

[rain sleet]

"Temple Run but not Temple Run"?

[dull tiger]

Yeah, I can't necessarily say what I'm taking about

But it is a game lol

[rain sleet]

Welp

[radiant wind]

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down

[frozen gazelle]

Loodle, I love your name xD

[dull tiger]

Basically, IYKYK. I figured a few in this community might know

[rain sleet]

Ah, thanks!

And I have no clue

[dull tiger]

Uhh-- Temple Run like game

[rain sleet]

I just joined and I'm not good with abbreviations

[dull tiger]

Thats as far as I can go with it haha.
A quick Google search would probably land you on the result

[tacit siren]

So I'm curious, where is everybody from? React with a flag 🇬🇧

[rain sleet]

'Merica

[dull tiger]

iykyk- If you know you know

MURICA

[frozen gazelle]

also merica lol

West coast, PST

[dull tiger]

CST

[radiant wind]

Dutch living in Germany

[dull tiger]

Yet im in Florida lol

[tacit siren]

It's it super late over there?

[rain sleet]

MST

It's morning now

[dull tiger]

Its 8:36 for me, 6:36am for PST

[frozen gazelle]

7:38 for you, right Lood?

[rain sleet]

Yee

[radiant wind]

Yeah it's 3:37 pm here, 20 more minutes of work and then the weekend starts

[limpid yacht]

2:37 pm for me

[verbal prairie]

Very off-topic. But yesterday midnight they opened vaccine registration for 16-30 here. And I already got my date in 5 days for my 1st shot

[frozen gazelle]

Nice, I'm getting my second shot in a few days

[radiant wind]

YES happy for you!

[verbal prairie]

Sadly my 2nd shot will be in like 1.5months but I'm so glad I can finally get it

I waited for so long

[rain sleet]

I got to wait a couple weeks for my next shot, but congrats!

[frozen gazelle]

Really? It's supposed to be a 28 day wait

@verbal prairie

[rain sleet]

1.5 months seems a bit long

[verbal prairie]

Hmmm let me check

[radiant wind]

depends on the manufacturer iirc

[feral salmon]

It can be longer than 28 days if needed but needs to be at least 28

I think

[radiant wind]

My parents had to wait 8 weeks

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, I didn't know that

[rain sleet]

I had mine last week and the next appointment was 3 weeks after

[verbal prairie]

6 weeks

yep

[feral salmon]

Also depends on the vax

[rain sleet]

That seems long, huh

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, 6 weeks is a while

[rain sleet]

Or does it depend on the country as well?

[feral salmon]

Well other countries have different vaccines so

[radiant wind]

Could also be, depending on stock

[frozen gazelle]

It might, but I'm not sure why it would be that different

[verbal prairie]

I think it can be just 4 weeks

but its up to 6 weeks

[normal perch]

depends on multiple things, country, actual vaccine, supply, etc.

[frozen gazelle]

I thought the ones that were mainly in distribution worldwide we Pfizer and Moderna for 2 shots

[rain sleet]

But wait. Mine's the pfizer too?

[normal perch]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. it's going to be different everywhere

[rain sleet]

The EU is really taking no chances, huh?

[frozen gazelle]

It's probably just how their hospitals/government is handling distribution

[verbal prairie]

Pfizer can be from 3 weeks to 6 weeks

[frozen gazelle]

Or, if you're in EU, I actually have no idea

[verbal prairie]

Oh yea central EU

🇨🇿

They probably want to vaccinate as many people with 1st dose

and give the 2nd at the latest

[rain sleet]

It's possible

[frozen gazelle]

first is supposed to be like 60% effectivness, if I remember right

it preps your body to be able to accept/combat the type of cell that the virus is, then the second shot teaches your immune system how to stop the virus

[verbal prairie]

The first U.S. multisite test-negative design vaccine effectiveness study among HCP found a single dose of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to be 82% effective against symptomatic COVID-19 and 2 doses to be 94% effective.

from CDC website

[frozen gazelle]

but yea, people where I live are having to get paid to take their vaccines lol

[verbal prairie]

seems crazy high. 82% after just one dose? and 94 after two

[frozen gazelle]

oh, it's 82% Damn, that's hella better than I thought

[rain sleet]

I mean, most vaccines only take one dose, so...

[verbal prairie]

Same wow

[limpid yacht]

Ive had both shots and both were Pfizer, I felt great after both (except a sore arm)

[frozen gazelle]

My shot gave me a nice fat migraine for a day and a half

[feral salmon]

J&J squad here

[frozen gazelle]

So I've got that to look forward to on the 6th too lol

[radiant wind]

I had J&J and it knocked me flat out cold for a week

lmao

[rain sleet]

Oh no

[frozen gazelle]

I got the Moderna one

[radiant wind]

But I seem to be the only person that has had that

[feral salmon]

Lol I had a fever and a headache for a day

[radiant wind]

I'm so jealous

[rain sleet]

My 1st only gave me a tender shoulder for a couple days, but apparently symptoms can be worse the second time, so I get to look forward to that

[feral salmon]

Sorry 😫 at least we only needed one shot!

[frozen gazelle]

What's the research behind the J&J vaccine? I heard that it was better to get the Pfizer or Moderna ones for whatever reason

[radiant wind]

THAT"S very true

[rain sleet]

Not sure, tbh

[radiant wind]

Which is why I don't mind it as much, cause now in 2 weeks I'm having a good time

[radiant wind]

So if you wanna know why I'll have to take the fact sheet

[feral salmon]

Slightly less effective but still a super effective vaccine and good for people who have less access to vaccines

[frozen gazelle]

I heard some people got blood clots, but at such a minimal level it was kind of neglegable

[radiant wind]

Iirc that goes for any vaccine

[spiral terrace]

i had pfizer and both gave me a sore arm but the second shot also made me dizzy with a slight headache for a day

[rain sleet]

Oh, that sounds a bit annoying

[radiant wind]

This, it's 65% effective against symptoms, but it's 100% effective against needing to go to the hospital

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, it probably is, since what causes the clot is what the vaccine material is housed in, right? (the fluid containing the vaccine)

[radiant wind]

So higher chance of infection, but if you do it's more like a flu

And you won't have to go to the hospital

[rain sleet]

Was the blood clots due to allergies or something else?

[feral salmon]

I thought it was higher now? It seems pretty good comparably if you think about the new Covid strains and when/how the vaccines were tested

[radiant wind]

I mean that's what my info sheet says

I can screenshot it but it's in German

[frozen gazelle]

I'll ask my friend about it, poor guy was working on developing vaccines 60-80 hours a week when this all started

Oh yea, I need to get my vaccine info on my next visit. Thanks for reminding me lol

[radiant wind]

You should!

[dull tiger]

I was sort of lethargic when I got my second shot. But I was overall fine

[feral salmon]

Oh ok I don't have mine anymore, I got mine a few months ago now

[frozen gazelle]

They were supposed to give it to us on our first visit, but the place I went to said they weren't even supposed to start taking patients yet so they weren't completely set up lol

[dull tiger]

I thought the blood clot thing had to do with the people they poked-- then again I didnt look into it any more beyond when I heard it

[dull tiger]

Booo

[leaden violet]

I think the main advantage with the JnJ was that it was 1 shot instead of the 2 of pfizer or moderna

[radiant wind]

mostly yeah

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, that's what I heard too @leaden violet

[dull tiger]

Yeah, did anyone get JnJ? I got Moderna

[radiant wind]

Iirc the European CDC has halted vaccines a couple times to test and found that while there was a very minimal risk, it could happen, but it's less than taking the pill

And then it resumed

[rain sleet]

So probably allergies? Or some chronic desease, maybe

[radiant wind]

Yeah me and @feral salmon

[dull tiger]

How were yall after it?

Also I say y'all a lot. Please bear with me

(Just Florida Things )

[radiant wind]

It got me good for a couple days, but now I'm fine

[feral salmon]

I got it before the blood clotting stuff started popping up, I was sick for a day after with headache and fever

[frozen gazelle]

I saw that for the split second it was there, Pero xD

[dull tiger]

Im glad to hear you're both good.

Same haha

[radiant wind]

HAHA the bot got me

[frozen gazelle]

It got me a few times earlier too xD

[radiant wind]

It's fine I'll use different words then 😠

[dull tiger]

We should attack the bot. I say we kneecap it.

[radiant wind]

Watch out or it might take your kneecaps

[dull tiger]

....it has

[frozen gazelle]

Flood it with too many words

[dull tiger]

LOL.

[rain sleet]

There's a bot?

Is it censoring words?

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, it's just to keep the chat more family friendly lol

Yes, it is

[rain sleet]

I'm gonna say the F word

Pffft

[dull tiger]

Yeah, @rain sleet what's the name of the person people hire to kill people? Starts with an A

[rain sleet]

Butt men

[frozen gazelle]

buttbuttout

[rain sleet]

Yes

[dull tiger]

Perfect.

[rain sleet]

Now sing buttmen to the batman theme song

[summer peak]

Yeah, the bot is censoring some language to keep the chat appropriate, but regardless of what words are on there, please try to be friendly and respectful to everyone!

[frozen gazelle]

I mean, you can't even say a crime that involves the attacking of another

[dull tiger]

Butt pepper :(

[rain sleet]

Butt-ault

[left sable]

Butt-er

[frozen gazelle]

I think it's good for the type of community and market this discord is trying to go for, but it also comes with some fine tuning that needs to be done when relying on a bot xD

I heard that you couldn't even say mad earlier xD

[rain sleet]

True, true

[neat trench]

irl pvp

[rain sleet]

Reminds me of the time I was playing a game and I couldn't say the name of a fruit

[frozen gazelle]

and also, I say damn in the curse version of it plenty

[summer peak]

Definitely something we can look into as time goes on, always room for improvement

[dull tiger]

I wonder

Mississippi

[frozen gazelle]

so that's probably worth determining

[rain sleet]

Pp

[dull tiger]

Kansas

[radiant wind]

I mean I think it's fine to not allow swearwords to a certain extend

[dull tiger]

Arkansas

[radiant wind]

Nope

[rain sleet]

Pffft

I saw it for a split second

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, damn and hell are pretty common speak now

[dull tiger]

Massachusetts

_>

[radiant wind]

Die Niederlanden

[dull tiger]

<_<

[rain sleet]

Deutchland

[frozen gazelle]

so I wonder if it's just things beginning with a$$?

[radiant wind]

JAWOHL

[rain sleet]

Fruit test time

[frozen gazelle]

or if it's selected the words specifically lol

[rain sleet]

Grape

[dull tiger]

Assuming

O_o

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, so it's picked the words then

[radiant wind]

IT'S TIME FOR THE WEEKEND [redacted]

[dull tiger]

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

Hi I'll be your assessor today

[frozen gazelle]

Then again, "Hitman" and "Battery(crime)" probably aren't very family friendly topics xD

[dull tiger]

This will take some time to assemble

[summer peak]

Probably, however you shouldn't try circumventing the filter just to say it.

[dull tiger]

I feel very assured

[frozen gazelle]

xD

[summer peak]

How dare you

[frozen gazelle]

Sam's on the verge of feeling the bonk stick

[dull tiger]

Asswaging

Wow.

[rain sleet]

I mean, most auto filters aren't great sometimes.

[dull tiger]

Im gonna write an assay

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, that's generally a given

[rain sleet]

About donkeys

[dull tiger]

Assam

[radiant wind]

@summer peak could you change it instead of removing the sentence, it would say [redacted], I think that's way funnier

[dull tiger]

Im going to assign this assumption to you

[summer peak]

Unfortunately we couldn't do that, that would require a bot being able to edit a message, which it cant do.

[dull tiger]

ASSLIKE

[rain sleet]

Like those comedy sketches where half the words are bleeped out

[frozen gazelle]

Redacted would be a funny way for the bot to censor messages

[dull tiger]

Wow.

[stoic quarry]

can't edit other peoples messages indeed

[radiant wind]

F

[rain sleet]

You @#%$#%@$#

[radiant wind]

You [redacted]

[frozen gazelle]

To be fair though, this is helping with figuring out what needs to get fixed with the bot

[rain sleet]

@%#$#%@%#$#@

[summer peak]

OMG U

[radiant wind]

And then have TTS

[dull tiger]

AssSIZEd

[stoic quarry]

hi kalan

[dull tiger]

Woops.

Spelt that wrong

Assized

[frozen gazelle]

Asinine?

[summer peak]

Okay Sam I think you've stretched the usage haha

[frozen gazelle]

Some good additions for the bot here lol

[radiant wind]

Just bonk Sam I think that might help

[dull tiger]

Assertable assertion @summer peak

LOL NOW WAIT

[rain sleet]

That just sounds like you are using a rear end as a size reference

[dull tiger]

I was wanting to stress test it

[stoic quarry]

there isn't really a need for that, just wait until things get situated lol

[frozen gazelle]

We can tell what type of feature Sam is attracted to with all this, at least :3

[dull tiger]

Oops

[summer peak]

Believe me we'll improve it as time goes on!

[radiant wind]

I believe you!

[dull tiger]

I believe in you guys! I was having fun haha

[rain sleet]

Pfft

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, of course. This is all still very early on, right? Makes sense that it's all still getting figured out

[summer peak]

I understand you were playing in jest, just make sure to keep it appropriate.

[dull tiger]

^^

[left sable]

Is the bot work only for english or all languages ?

[radiant wind]

I will go to the store now to grab some snacks and stuff, cya!

[dull tiger]

Of course. 😇

[rain sleet]

Good question

[frozen gazelle]

At least it's all being figured out in good fun rather than with an actual issue being caused

[radiant wind]

I will test this when I'm back /j

[summer peak]

Mostly english afaik

[limpid yacht]

😮

[frozen gazelle]

English is the most widely spoken language, isn't it?

[loud meadow]

Ooh, are we trying to see what breaks the autobot?

[limpid yacht]

Yes, English is the current lingua franca.

[radiant wind]

In this discord I would assume so

[frozen gazelle]

and trying to figure out everything that could be a potential curse across so many languages is quite a heavy task

[summer peak]

We'll take things as they come

[dull tiger]

I've already ruined it for everyone haha

I listed every word I could think of that began a certain way haha

My English teacher would be proud of me

[manic egret]

hearty applause

[loud meadow]

But we can still try right? (I say all this in good fun.)

[dull tiger]

@loud meadow did that because a certain word that began that way was blocked

[stoic quarry]

I think the best course of action would be to not deliberately trying that out and only go that route if you're asked by a mod to test something out, sometimes other users can/will just join it in and it becomes chaos

[summer peak]

I would honestly advise you don't try to break the autobot.

[rain sleet]

I think it's worse when the sensors try to include a bunch of curse words from other languages and abbreviations to the point that tandom words get sensored

[loud meadow]

Oh darn.

[radiant wind]

Welcome back!

[summer peak]

If we need to test stuff out, we will let you guys know and you can have your fun, but just make sure to follow our rules and enjoy the community!

[manic egret]

Thanks! I'm only moderately dead from the heat ^^;

[frozen gazelle]

@summer peak This might be worth bringing up with the rest of the mod/dev team, but it might be good to say something about trying to keep things mostly in english until/if you set up other language channels

[dull tiger]

Im counting on you

[rain sleet]

Because you know what curse words aren't allowed, but who knows if the game is gonna suddenly hate you said apple.

[frozen gazelle]

It would help keep things more easy to moderate

[dull tiger]

Banned

[summer peak]

Definitely something I plan to address with them today.

[stoic quarry]

the growing pains of a server tbh, just give it some time to be ironed out

[radiant wind]

Especially one that grows as fast as this one

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, definitely. At least everyone seems to be mature about it and wants to see it grow and flourish lol

Rare in mmo communities, it seems

[rain sleet]

Well, considering the type of game it's planning to be, there at least shouldn't be people cursing each out in the voice channel over losing a match

[dull tiger]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HER PUMPKIN IS BIGGER?!

[rain sleet]

Pfffft

[frozen gazelle]

I'm sure there will still be that, considering how competitive people can make anything

[indigo scaffold]

insertcurseword Those were MY carrots!

[soft dust]

Yo anyone playing WoW TBC Classic

[frozen gazelle]

but hopefully not as common as something like WoW, or XIV, or anywhere that competitiveness is part of the game

[dull tiger]

@frozen gazelle how competitive does endgame get?

For ffxic

[rain sleet]

I mean, hopefully the competition will be like a battle of skill, like who can have the largest plot of tomatos

[dull tiger]

Ffziv

._.

[frozen gazelle]

For XIV? It depends on what server/data center

[left sable]

LoL intensifies

[dull tiger]

Gotcha. Rocking Behemoth atm

[frozen gazelle]

@left sable How dare you speak the forbidden tongue

[dull tiger]

My tomatoes are juicier, idc if you have more

[left sable]

My apologies sir

[soft dust]

How's the erp like there

[frozen gazelle]

@dull tiger Behemoth and Primal should be okay, there's some toxicity, especially from Ultros, but overall it should be okay

[rain sleet]

Who will be the tomato king?
And for everyone else, they can wonder why you have dedicated your life to a vegetable

[frozen gazelle]

Lol Sans

[keen furnace]

Unless you're going for world first races, raiding is very much done at your own groups pace. Difficulty and challenge wise its very fun.

[dull tiger]

Everyone knows a good tomato > a lot of tomatoes

[pseudo furnace]

in the roles channel what is he/they or she/they

[dull tiger]

Thank you everyone. And @soft dust im unsure because I JUST started

Hit lvl 41 yesterday

[frozen gazelle]

Some groups can get pretty competitive within their own rights though, even not going for world first @keen furnace

I have to say, though, the PVP community of XIV are some of the nicest people

In my experience*

[pseudo furnace]

and are the bottom 2 a joke???

ze/zir

german?

[rain sleet]

I mean, thinking on it, people got competitive with Animal Crossing of all things, so I guess it just depends

[keen furnace]

Oh yeah for sure, it very much varies group to group. My static definitely doesn't get the fastest clears, but when we down fights we're all about beating eachother on parses hahaha, its great fun

[summer peak]

FFXIV pvp? What's that? lol

[plush spindle]

Anyone here interested in Blockchain games? I'm building community for a space VRMMORTS game called Star Atlas.

[stoic quarry]

the real comp game yes

[frozen gazelle]

No, those are what some people identify as for stuff like non-binary @pseudo furnace

[frozen gazelle]

That's exactly why they're so nice xD Because it's so smol

[dull tiger]

I will hate whoever figures out how to cheat in this game

[rain sleet]

What will they cheat to get?

[frozen gazelle]

I loved getting good parses back when I raided xD

[rain sleet]

"All the fruit will be mine! Mhahahaha"

[stoic quarry]

I'm just trying to get through the msq in xiv, and honestly i dont understand it at all lol

[frozen gazelle]

I think my best moment was getting a 99th on Exdoor during stormblood without food or pots on Samurai :'3

[frosty vigil]

Man I love XIV PvP

[dull tiger]

Unsure lol.
I just hope the competitive scene on this game isn't that intense

[dull tiger]

Shh.. same

[stoic quarry]

there are names and people

[frosty vigil]

....now I wanna play, do my weeklies since I’ve missed the last two weeks due to injury

[dull tiger]

I mean I sort of get it, but I hear it gets better

[stoic quarry]

anything else? idk about that

[rain sleet]

Well, an inspiration is the Sims and Animal crossing, so hopefully most of the community will be partially around making really nice builds

[frozen gazelle]

I want to try making Moriya Shrine from Touhou :'3

[rain sleet]

The building community in the Sims is really nice and chill

[stoic quarry]

same but it's funny how confused everyone just is about arr story and is just like shrug it's a thing

[frozen gazelle]

ARR was kind of weak, but it's the beginning of the journey, so it makes sense to be a weaker aspect of the story. It only really started picking up in like 2.3-2.4

And then the finale of ARR had me on edge until HW came out

[rain sleet]

Ah yes, the best game, HomeWork

[frozen gazelle]

xD

Hot Wok

[rain sleet]

Mmm, Wok

That reminds me that I should eat

I'll be back

[frozen gazelle]

Have Loodle Doodle Noodles

[rain sleet]

I should change my nickname to Noodle

[unborn plover]

Anybody here from Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario, Canada? I am moving there soon and would like to meet some people around

[rain sleet]

I'm from Colorado, USA

A bit far from there

[frozen gazelle]

Lol

[unborn plover]

Just a little @rain sleet ! haha
Nice to meet you

[rain sleet]

You as well! Hopefully you find some fun people there

[unborn plover]

I hope I will! 😄

[stoic quarry]

I collected crystals, I did a thing and something happened. almost done with seventh umbral era quests. it just took me a long time to actually continue playing

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, that's all the beginning. It starts to pick up when you begin forming a new kind of mini Grand Company

[stoic quarry]

ooo exciting

[frozen gazelle]

Then dealing with Midgardsormr was also really interesting, and that persists into Heavensward

[stoic quarry]

[frozen gazelle]

Heavensward is a really great, kind of self contained story

[stoic quarry]

I got all expansions, I just am bad at actually playing games

[frozen gazelle]

Stormblood had good moments, but I feel like Heavensward was better as a whole, but then Shadowbringers was by far the best of the expansions

If you follow the story, Shadowbringers will make you really think and give you some feels

Parts in Heavensward will, as well

Some great subversion of expectations and twists in HW

[stoic quarry]

have to be honest I didn't do many non msq quests, besides dragoon since I apparently chose that as class at the start. I don't feel like leveling another one already

[frozen gazelle]

Leveling up another class will be easier, up to the highest level job you have, at least

but yea, most of the side quests are fairly negligible, aside from the job quests, some of the quests to unlock dungeons, and Hildebrand

[left sable]

Since some of you play MMOs, did you tried Project: Gorgon ?

[rain sleet]

Ah, I haven't heard of that one

What's it like?

[left sable]

Well it's a little MMOs, created by two peole, you don't have classes, just skills to up, so you can be pretty much what you what, lot of good humor, some effects are permanent, like you can become a spider or even a cow. But graphics are well, they are quite bad but, oh boi the game is fun, and the community is really nice

It is an Early access but get updates really often and really stable

[rain sleet]

Sounds fun! I'll have to check it out sometime

[left sable]

The game is available on steam, it a buy to play but you can try it

[frozen gazelle]

I wish more mmos would adopt either a skill oriented leveling system or job switching systems like XIV and PSO2 :'3

I never end up being able to stick with one job/class character

[forest depot]

Here's my first message on this Discord:

The bottom drawer of my freezer is dedicated for ice cream cones. There are three flavors: strawberry, caramel and chocolate. They all have identical wrappings. So I always have a fun little taste lottery when I take one cone. But for the past four times my die has landed on caramel. I have no idea if there are more still, I was almost sure I'm out of caramel but here I am again, eating a caramel cone.

[summer peak]

Can I have this bottom drawer of your freezer?

[forest depot]

Take a dip, friend

I'm starting to think it's anomalous in nature. It turns all other flavors into caramel...

[frozen gazelle]

It's a 33% chance, every pull. That's how gacha works, right? :3

[forest depot]

xd

[radiant wind]

Depends on if you want a 1-5 star caramel cone

[left sable]

Project: Gorgon was the first skill oriented mmo i played and I must admit, it is so refreshing !

[summer peak]

After 90 pulls with no 5 star you are guarunteed 5 star caramel

Apparently i cant spell.

[frozen gazelle]

a 5 star cone might be too good. You eat it, only to have your taste buds ascend to a higher plain of existence, then all other food you eat tastes awful by comparison

[forest depot]

So it works perfectly as gacha?

[unborn plover]

This reminds me of Fantasy Life on Nintendo DS

[forest depot]

always chasing that 5 star high

[frozen gazelle]

Lol

SSR Caramel get

[rain sleet]

Also depends on if you want Caramel again after eating them 4 times in a row

[unborn plover]

Talking about Project Gordon, not the cone stuff, of course lol

[radiant wind]

Glad you cleared that up

[forest depot]

I mean caramel is great and I accept the outcome. I'll admit I was secretly hoping for a strawberry this time around

[rain sleet]

Maybe the 5 star is the Chocolate or Strawberry

[frozen gazelle]

I generally like the idea behind them, but a lot of the execution ends up not going so well, from what I experienced :'3 Or doesn't age well

[radiant wind]

I'll give it a look

[frozen gazelle]

Is there a free trial for it, or no? @left sable

[radiant wind]

Yes it has a demo

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, nice. I'll try it out too then

[radiant wind]

Praise be the demo gods

[frozen gazelle]

So underappreciated

but so valued

[radiant wind]

I advocate for every game having demo's

Yes I could literally buy any game I might like but I'd rather not do that and buy games I have tested and like, and then spend the rest on ice cream

Preferably caramel

[frozen gazelle]

Part of why so many don't anymore is because people would play the demos, realize they didn't want the game, and not buy it lol

I think I've bought more games from playing the demos than not, though

[radiant wind]

Yep, that's why I'm happy Steam has some refund thing, but some games have a tutorial stage that takes about half the 2 hour limit

And even then you don't know if you like endgame

[radiant wind]

Same, I bought MH rise because of it, I'm now 160 hours in whoops

[frozen gazelle]

xD

Ah yes, the monster slaying gacha

Every monster is a loot box with the potential for the parts you need to make that next weapon/armor

[radiant wind]

I think that's Dauntless tbh

[frozen gazelle]

Ah, yea, I guess that fits better since it's a f2p model

[radiant wind]

compared to World, Rise is a lot better, thank god

HOWEVER

There's new stuff that's pure gacha, but at least I don't have to pay real money for it and there's ingame exploits to get them faster?

I would still like to see it all gone though, tbh

[unreal knoll]

That was a good nap, time to vibe again

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, the charm system?

[radiant wind]

The talismans yes yes

[radiant wind]

Hello viber

[frozen gazelle]

That's the classic way xD

Welcome to the good old days of MH :3

[radiant wind]

I mean I have only played MH Freedom Unite, Rise, then went to World, hated it, then went back to Rise lmao

[unreal knoll]

Need to use pc to get access to the secret vibe content

[frozen gazelle]

The best way to deal with the charms is to build a set that doesn't rely on it at all, then get a charm that works well with your set

Yea, if you could save your data to a removable drive, then people would have already figured out how to mod your charms

[vernal stream]

Oh, fellow hunters! (^-^)7

[radiant wind]

Oh 100%, but thank god talismans don't really make the build reliable, more so add to it

I'm looking for a 3-1-1 Attack lvl 3 boost talisman to finish it

: ^)

[radiant wind]

HELLO!

[frozen gazelle]

Wew, good luck finding that one xD

[radiant wind]

It's one of the rarest but it's fine, it would take me damage from 95 to 100 if we speak in percentages

[vernal stream]

Imagine getting an attack boost charm with slots... lol

[frozen gazelle]

I got lucky and got a 3s Crit Eye 3 Wall Run 2 tali as one of my first big pulls

[radiant wind]

couldn't be me

[radiant wind]

This flex

[frozen gazelle]

xD

xD

[radiant wind]

Tbf I have a wirebug level 3 talisman that is great for my gun build

[frozen gazelle]

I used it mostly until I started getting other ones, but I'd like either Pierce/normal shot talis at level 2 with a 3 slot, or a 3-3 tali

Bow life is hard when you can only work with 4 armor pieces :'3

[radiant wind]

Yeah that'd be amazing, but I only use pierce ammo, never have run out so far

[foggy night]

Yo

[radiant wind]

WHAT

[frozen gazelle]

o/

[radiant wind]

I can't say hörn

[radiant wind]

Wassup crispy corn

[foggy night]

Wassup

[radiant wind]

I guess you're right @frozen gazelle

[foggy night]

Heard of the corn faction?

[frozen gazelle]

In what regard

[radiant wind]

I have not but I saw a lot of corn in the chat at some point

[frozen gazelle]

On the topic of corn and monster hunter

[radiant wind]

YES

HAHAHAHA

I love the goofy designs

[frozen gazelle]

Speartuna xD

[radiant wind]

YES

[frozen gazelle]

I'm surprised you can't say h0rn though

[radiant wind]

I kinda get it but also don't since it's kind of a normal word

[frozen gazelle]

but too close with one letter lol

doot doot

[radiant wind]

Also what about the parasol

[foggy night]

Yall like farming or fishing or hunting?

[radiant wind]

I like cooking

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, which weapon is that? I don't recognize it

[foggy night]

Ooo

U see i have a guild atm

[radiant wind]

Dragonslayer parasol, great sword iirc

[unreal knoll]

Corn gang!?

[foggy night]

Oh no

[left sable]

Oh some mh rise player ?

[frozen gazelle]

Ah, switch axe? That would be cool. I like the oragami SA in Rise lol

[foggy night]

Chapaa how big is your guild now

[radiant wind]

Yes I'm sorry I've completely derailed off topic again

[frozen gazelle]

Oh edit, great sword lol

[foggy night]

We dont wnna clash if possible

[vernal stream]

It’s a great sword

[foggy night]

As long as we get our land

[radiant wind]

Yeah I just looked it up

[foggy night]

And profit

[unreal knoll]

[left sable]

MH Rise is nice imo !

[radiant wind]

I don't know a lot of MH Rise weapons, I just know rampage and valstrax

[unreal knoll]

Peace was never an option

[radiant wind]

My ingame time agrees! I've spend way too much time on it!

[foggy night]

Ima give u one more cjawnce

We split land

Or we fight

[frozen gazelle]

Valstrax coming to rise was such a welcome surprise to me xD

Valstrax coming to rise was such a welcome surprise to me xD

The theme, too

So good

[radiant wind]

I was happy they added something, cause I have missed a lot of the MH games

So anything is new to me, really

[unreal knoll]

We follow colonel cornelius cornwall and give up the heretical thoughts of Cabbages and Potatoes

[frozen gazelle]

If you can, I'd recommend picking up Generations Ultimate

[left sable]

Your weapon ?

[unreal knoll]

Maybe then common ground can be found

[radiant wind]

IG/LBG and now learning Hunting H0rn

[frozen gazelle]

It uses the old system, so that's a bit of a challenge, but god are there so many monsters

[foggy night]

Oh hes part of our guild actually

We are allied with the tatoes now

So..

[unreal knoll]

[radiant wind]

What platform is this on?

[unreal knoll]

He wouldnt

[frozen gazelle]

Switch

[left sable]

IG is fun !

[foggy night]

Ah a traitor

[unreal knoll]

This is outrageous, allying yourself with veggies that grow lower than you is just unheard of

[frozen gazelle]

Mizu and Glavenus are in Gen U (They originated from Gen as part of the fated 4, the main monsters)

[radiant wind]

It is! I'm just not very good at it lmao

[radiant wind]

Glavenus is also in world right, and mizu in rise?

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, another thing that was unique about Gen and Gen U is there are hunting styles

[radiant wind]

I mean I am not opposed to buying it, I'm just not done with Rise yet, as in there's a bunch of stuff I still wanna do

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, Glav is World, with the sword tail, and Mizu is the bubble fox in Rise

Yea, it's just an idea for if you want to pass some time. You can likely find it for cheap used, since Rise is out now

[foggy night]

U are against us then

U want war

Then we will give it to you

[radiant wind]

Meh, it's nintendo after all

[frozen gazelle]

Hey, no war in the basement, take it upstairs xD

[summer pelican]

Morning y’all

[radiant wind]

I'll give it a look if I get bored with Rise tho!

[radiant wind]

Good afternoon

[frozen gazelle]

Good morning lol

[summer pelican]

Did you sleep?

[frozen gazelle]

Of course not xD

You're the second person to ask, I think

[summer pelican]

LOL

[frozen gazelle]

I'm getting tired finally, though, so soon I will

[summer pelican]

You should probably plan on that soon

[radiant wind]

It's what you deserve, get some good rest!

[frozen gazelle]

Lol, I was planning on about 9 pst, which is in about 40 minutes

[livid lotus]

Morning o/

[radiant wind]

Moin Sherlock!

[frozen gazelle]

Morning o/

[summer pelican]

Howdy

[frozen gazelle]

but yea, I need to stay awake, at least till 9. I have to make sure I'm awake enough for an appointment coming up in a couple weeks

[livid lotus]

Set that sleep schedule! Do it!

Also hope it goes well!

[frozen gazelle]

Thanks, I hope so too. I'll be really upset if it doesn't :'3 Have to change my legal name so I can register in the government systems for certain things. Who knew having a space in your name would make every state and federal website deny you for anything

(and that it would cost 400$ to change :'3)

[livid lotus]

I feel that. The wife and I looked at name changes after getting married and went "NOPE"

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, seriously. Even hyphenated names get messed up, it seems

My name is going from 5 names, 2 first, 2 middle, 1 last, to 2 names, 1 first and 1 last

My name is going from 5 names, 2 first, 2 middle, 1 last, to 2 names, 1 first and 1 last

[summer pelican]

Golly that’s a lot of names

[frozen gazelle]

Portugese xD

Well, French first name

but it fits with the rest of it

[unreal knoll]

Vibing!

[radiant wind]

I got KFC chips

[radiant wind]

Hope it goes well!!

[frozen gazelle]

I hope so too

[limpid yacht]

What games is everyone playing right now? Looking for something new to play

[pulsar canopy]

Wow that seems extremely odd. Seems to reflect poorly on the systems being designed to not accommodate people who live outside the "norm" of 2-3 names.

I dunno, just seems like something that could've been overcome over a decade ago

[livid lotus]

Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG by Square Enix, Final Fantasy XIV? I hear it has a free trial including the first major expansion, Heavensward.

[frozen gazelle]

@pulsar canopy But this is the US government we're talking about, when have they been known to be competent about things? xD

[pulsar canopy]

This is very true
System's probably from the 70s or 80s too and is written in some nearly-dead Programming language that 5 people in the country know

[hot bluff]

-returns with breakfasts-

[radiant wind]

That sounds like every bureacratic instance I've used tbh

[radiant wind]

Bone app the teeth!

[hot bluff]

haha

[pulsar canopy]

Bone apple teeth

[livid lotus]

Bo-nan the Lit

[radiant wind]

Ticket monkey bop

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, I mean, have you heard about the cyber attacks on the gas and meat distribution infrastructors over the past couple months? How is some of our most important resources managed by something so easy to break into and lock others out of?

[pulsar canopy]

Yeah you're not wrong lol

Speaking as someone who currently works for a software vendor for a lot of local governments, it's a mixture of "it works, why would we replace it" and "our workers are used to the software we have already, soooo"

[frozen gazelle]

When the water lines get hit, that's when we're all super screwed lol

[pulsar canopy]

Well the gas line attack was actually a private company believe it or not haha

[unreal knoll]

Meanwhile sitting around here, man wish we had actual problems

[radiant wind]

Honestly that's such a weak excuse too, what about UX

[pulsar canopy]

It's all black screen with green text for most of these people still

Old school text interfaces

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, I guess that's true, but what it bodes for what's to come is not good

[pulsar canopy]

A lot of them just Telnet into them and do their work

[radiant wind]

Didn't file your tax returns? back to the matrix with you

[frozen gazelle]

I think the DMV still uses a dos based system, doesn't it?

[pulsar canopy]

It's not really DOS, but yeah DMV definitely is still a text interface in most places

I can speak to primarily Virginia and Florida

[livid lotus]

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the DMV uses an interface from the 80s

[pulsar canopy]

They do

They just add data for new cars

That's p much it

[livid lotus]

Dollar General uses software from the 70s at best.

[pulsar canopy]

Yeah... Explains why they can afford to prop one up every 500 ft

[frozen gazelle]

California is all the same system, I'm pretty sure. Green text, black background, everything runs slow as hell

[pulsar canopy]

Yeah sounds about right

[radiant wind]

I don't even wanna guess what Germany still uses lmao

Well tbf, they use paper

[pulsar canopy]

None of these places really ever bothered to move on.

Sucks for the newer generations that got used to half-decent UX, but for the older generation that spent from the 80s to now working in those interfaces, they're the exact reason it's still in use

[radiant wind]

Analog DOS if you will

[pulsar canopy]

Because they would protest against change lol

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, I guess I should ask, does anyone happen to know what the song is in this? I can't remember or find it anywhere

[livid lotus]

Side note: why do good fountain pens have to cost multiple-hundreds of dollars ;-;

[radiant wind]

Otherwise they'd be bad fountain pens

[pulsar canopy]

M A R Iマリくん Nanidato (ナニダト) - SUPER RISER! (Remake)

[frozen gazelle]

Thank you Sanic

[pulsar canopy]

Sure lol

[unreal knoll]

That is very cool friday song

[livid lotus]

Hey, my sub-$50 pens have been good >:[

[radiant wind]

Oh, well then it's capitalism

[pulsar canopy]

I wish I was cool but I used a thing on my phone against my headphones

I wish I was cool but I used a thing on my phone against my headphones

But I'll take the credit

[livid lotus]

Fair

[frozen gazelle]

xD it works better than what I've got

Which was just searching "Future Funk" on youtube and praying I found it

[pulsar canopy]

Lol

Yeah it's really easy when you have the audio at least

What really sucks is when you only have snippets in your brain

Then it gets hard

[livid lotus]

Aren't some of the identifiers able to identify it based on humming?

[pulsar canopy]

You get stuff like this once it's just a brain worm

[frozen gazelle]

xD I've been that person, without posting to find it

[frozen gazelle]

Another good friday song is Ride on Time by Tatsuro Yamashita

[unreal knoll]

Needs a some meme on it, alone it aint doing it for me :(

[frozen gazelle]

Fair enough

[livid lotus]

When the Rain Sparkles in September

Pretty good mashup of anime and 70s stuff

[unreal knoll]

It needs to be meme

[livid lotus]

Aight

headin' to soundcloud, one sec

There's Tipsy Treasure Town, which is a nice go-to for me

If you want pure memes: Sockstar

[unreal knoll]

I mean more of a visual kind of meme, like animal vibing or something

[livid lotus]

Damn you no gif links rule

[frozen gazelle]

Telephone Awoo?

[frozen gazelle]

Is that enough visual for you? lol

[unreal knoll]

no links block, it isnt properly in the rules yet last that i checked

[frozen gazelle]

That pupper is having a good time lol

[frozen gazelle]

Alright, time to sleep for me

[tiny sleet]

Good night c:

[frozen gazelle]

I'll catch you guys later

[winter harness]

[radiant wind]

Sleep well!

[pulsar canopy]

Whew, late night I guess.

Nighty night :)

wonders if the devs are secretly toiling away in there.

[naive onyx]

I bet they have pebbles

[quasi saddle]

lol

[frail badge]

Hello y'all, is anyone here into PCs, specs and stuff? I kinda need help building one...

[hallow kayak]

ohboy building a pc during this time

[frail badge]

What about it?

[limpid yacht]

i am, but good luck getting a gpu

[hallow kayak]

everything is overpriced

[unreal knoll]

Its just getting good GPU now is kinda pricey

[hallow kayak]

dont bother atm

[limpid yacht]

wanna get an rtx 3090? that'll be 3500 dollars

[hallow kayak]

kinda pricey? man those things are costing the same as a new kidney

[amber zealot]

beside gpu there might not be that much of a problem

[unreal knoll]

I reckon the blackmarket kidney price is in 100 thousands

[hallow kayak]

you kinda need a gpu to run a pc

[radiant wind]

Secondhand gpu's are starting to crash atm tho

at least here

[hallow kayak]

theyve been run through the dirt mining crypto

they wouldnt last 2months

[radiant wind]

Not all of them

[limpid yacht]

says you. I just sold an rx 480 for 245 dollars

Msrp brand new: 220 usd

and mine was cheaper than others

[radiant wind]

I got a gtx 970 for 90 bucks, it's still doable, just need some luck

[hallow kayak]

[frail badge]

Nah haha, I don't need a new one, my PC doesn't have to be the best...

[radiant wind]

[frail badge]

[radiant wind]

[frail badge]

[radiant wind]

I think LGA 1200 + Ryzen will be a bit rough

[frail badge]

[hallow kayak]

even a kid knows it

[unreal knoll]

the video provided might be decent start point

[frail badge]

This is an awesome community 🥺

[limpid yacht]

Damn this game mode is addictive

[unreal knoll]

the video provided is year old and considering how things went side ways with the "Demand"

[hallow kayak]

youre going to run out of space real quick

[unreal knoll]

might be good idea to seek alternatives on the side too

256 SSD is good for the Operating system and couple games

and 500GB hdd is enough for misc files

albeit slow

[hallow kayak]

my 500gb ssd is nearly filled already

and my hdd

well

kinda ruined that one on my own

[unreal knoll]

are you unable to delete things :D

[hallow kayak]

the problem is

[hallow kayak]

most of it are from games

[heavy fractal]

runs

[young ridge]

I return to the server basement that is off-topic.

Hello. I bring snacks.

[left sable]

[molten stone]

[radiant wind]

Welcome back!

[young ridge]

[radiant wind]

How the snacks be?

[hallow kayak]

kinda disappointing

[young ridge]

I never said I was sharing.

[young ridge]

They are crunchy and good.

[hallow kayak]

a what a cruel fate

😢

[hot bluff]

So odd question for my D&D game: Can someone help be butcher the spelling of "Helsing" to something sounding archaic?
