How far until we just hit wingdings level of absurd on spelling

[hot bluff]

Hopefully not TOO absurd

[young ridge]

I slowly open my mouth and there is only the distorted noise of a dialup modem.

[hot bluff]

Yea.

Hello

[hallow kayak]

My brother had a girl friend in high school named "blue"

[hallow kayak]

what like the colour?

[last kite]

Bruh

[hot bluff]

In her defence, her first name was actually "Marsha" which she hated so she chose to go by her middle name "blue"

[foggy night]

Her name was blue

[hot bluff]

Yes

[foggy night]

Ohh

Thats kinda unique

[hallow kayak]

[neat trench]

[hot bluff]

No idea.

[foggy night]

Her middle name was blue

[hallow kayak]

[foggy night]

As in the refills?

[hallow kayak]

[last kite]

[last kite]

[pastel wind]

Da ba dee da ba da

[young ridge]

[hallow kayak]

[pastel wind]

I checked no-one else had said it already, was disappointed it wasn't

[hallow kayak]

good things happen to those with patience

[pastel wind]

Haha, the urge was too great

Plus excited because work is over and it's weekend

final semester of the year sadly

[pastel wind]

Gotcha

[hallow kayak]

i hate uni

ngl

[neat trench]

i think we can all agree to that

[pastel wind]

I think I hated it at the time but wish I was back there!

Although I think that happens through education. In uni, still wish you were in secondary school etc...

[hallow kayak]

no not really no

[pastel wind]

What if you had your current knowledge, that'd be trippy

[young ridge]

My age is showing. Oh god. Oh geez.

[hallow kayak]

id probably be an even more messed up kid than i already was

[neat trench]

[hallow kayak]

[hallow kayak]

[limpid yacht]

LOL

[young ridge]

Congratulations on surviving the rotation for another year.

[hallow kayak]

so if we just stop the rotation we wouldnt grow older

i fixed aging for everyone

[limpid yacht]

I think that might cause the earth’s destruction and we’d all die but I’m not a scientist so idk

[hallow kayak]

i am a scientist and im not sure either

cos geology isnt a science

[upper marlin]

lol I got warned because this platform thinks that gifs are links. 🤦‍♀️

[young ridge]

Plops this here..
There's a beach event coming up in July for the WoW server I play on and I absolutely must bring my villain. Because she too deserves a beach day as a little treat.

[neat trench]

lmfao

[limpid yacht]

God I hope so lol

[radiant wind]

It's true, it's science

[hallow kayak]

[limpid yacht]

[young ridge]

It's true. I am 100% more sexy in this broiling hot weather while sweating profusely. Now that I'm 30.

[radiant wind]

I really love when villains show up in beach outfits tbh

[limpid yacht]

lmao

[hallow kayak]

yea cant wait for that beach filler episode

[neat trench]

[radiant wind]

Cause you're the shit?

[limpid yacht]

Absolutely

[hallow kayak]

wow

[young ridge]

She's a fun thing to write.

[feral salmon]

I mean if it was an abrupt stop yeah but maybe if it was a gradual stop we'd be ok 🤔 idk but natural processes would be messed up for sure

[limpid yacht]

interesting

[hallow kayak]

wait i remember that quote

female jhin is that you?

[feral salmon]

Damn close, I'm on the 2nd

[young ridge]

Oh god does Jhin's head come off too?

[hallow kayak]

[radiant wind]

Depends which meta were talking

[radiant wind]

[left sable]

Oh my condolences

[hallow kayak]

[left sable]

Hope you didn't forgot me :c

[young ridge]

Sometimes it just be like that

[hallow kayak]

skipping neckday

is a bad thing

[radiant wind]

No no you're the person that made me play the MMO by 2 people that feels really rough but charming

[left sable]

is it yours ?

[hallow kayak]

is palia hard?

[left sable]

Project gorgon ?

[radiant wind]

Yes yes, tried it for a bit

It is definitely a video game

[left sable]

Noice

[radiant wind]

that has been created

I'll give it that

[young ridge]

Listen she's just like this

[hallow kayak]

when you check out project gorgon and youre just confused about it

oh no the bad puns are coming out

[silent moat]

saw squirrel fight today

[hallow kayak]

what did he fight?

[radiant wind]

That's great though HAHA

[silent moat]

another squirrel

[hallow kayak]

man squirrelception

[left sable]

Yeah when you start Project gorgon you're really confused but after that, it's awesome

[radiant wind]

That's just like tuesdie here

[silent moat]

O_O

[hallow kayak]

dk bout that 33euros tho chief

[radiant wind]

It has a demo

[young ridge]

She's a delightful disaster that I wish I got to write more.

[feral salmon]

Lol I won't, I'm staying on the chu chu train

[radiant wind]

Excellent

[hallow kayak]

cant you write her more?...

well honestly you know how it is with demos

[radiant wind]

They help you inform a purchase decision?

[hallow kayak]

thats their intended use

[left sable]

Well yeah 33euros are a bit high but try the demo, you have a really good overview
Demo just throw you in the starting island, so you have the real start and game

[young ridge]

I'm buried in commission work at the moment or I would consider it.

[hallow kayak]

does it include the obnoxious tutorial that seem to come with every mmorpg?

[hallow kayak]

ah mannn suffering from success

[young ridge]

The only thing I'm succeeding in is keeping my head above water.

[left sable]

Eh tutorial ? what's that ? The tutorial is like 3 boxes then the game itself just let you do what you want

[hallow kayak]

interesting to say the least

[hallow kayak]

youll survive?

[young ridge]

[radiant wind]

I'll take that as a conclusive "maybe"

[hallow kayak]

[severe plaza]

i would just like to vent a second for all the thumbnail and spoiler andys in youtube that ruined that khux ending for me, dammit

[young ridge]

My car (which was older than some of the people in this server) finally crapped out on me recently. I am now paying an extra $200 I don't have a month for a new(used) car to get back and forth to work. So it's a matter of uh, well, trying to keep freelance work going, so i can take MORE work.

[hallow kayak]

wow i havent seen anyhing yet and you just drop that stuff in here spoiling everything for me @severe plaza

[left sable]

Since the game only have skill and no classes, you need to experiment by yourself, and all the game is like that
Btw did I said that Death is a skill ? and you need to literally find new ways of killing you to lvl it up ?

[hallow kayak]

ill be jumping off the highest cliff im going to see

[young ridge]

oh there they go

[hallow kayak]

cars really do be like that tho, they always s hit out on you when you cant have them

[severe plaza]

oh damn yeah it’s ending 😂

[hallow kayak]

come here and face your penalty

well the last thing i was expecting from a mmorpg was an age of empires type launcher..

[elfin basin]

Alright I just woke up recently, what are we talking about today?

[radiant wind]

Many, many things

We went over pc builds, vaccines, food

Games too

Sometimes at least

[elfin basin]

lovely haha

[severe plaza]

and thumbnail andys

don’t forget those

[odd mirage]

The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things

[radiant wind]

Is that Seraphine?

[odd mirage]

Of ships and shoes and sealing wax, cabbages and kings

[radiant wind]

Also good morning, had a good nap?

[left sable]

Hi @elfin basin

[hallow kayak]

[elfin basin]

Hi haha

and no, I slept late due to the thunderstorm in my area keeping me up till like 5am

[hallow kayak]

thunderstorms are so peaceful how can you not sleep

[severe plaza]

Yeah she has a lot of art that looks nice so I always use one of them

don’t even play league myself lol

[radiant wind]

Very fair bestie!

[elfin basin]

Dont get me wrong, I find storms peaceful too, its just that this particular one was reeeeally loud

[radiant wind]

Ah damn, sorry to hear it

[hallow kayak]

the louder the better

go thunder

[elfin basin]

lmao

[radiant wind]

So what are you guys' Friday plans?

[elfin basin]

I havent decided yet

[old musk]

Eat, discord, sleep

[odd mirage]

Apartment hunting 😎

[hallow kayak]

probably drink

[zealous ginkgo]

Listening to bio mutant reviews

[radiant wind]

Sounds like a great time

[worthy spear]

I'll go with my friend to watch Italy's Football match and eathing something outside

[radiant wind]

Sounds like a less great time

[radiant wind]

Good luck!

[zealous ginkgo]

Haha

[radiant wind]

Sounds like an excellent idea

[odd mirage]

Thanks!

[radiant wind]

Going outside!?!?!?!?!??!

jk though, have fun!

[radiant wind]

Are you looking for a reason to buy it or not buy it?

[dull tiger]

MEAN

[zealous ginkgo]

I have no feelings about it really. But there’s the mouse thing so I am listening

[worthy spear]

these two friends of mine are vacinated and I already got the covid, so I'm fine since we are just us
and ty, hope you have a great friday night too!

[radiant wind]

I meant it more jokingly, if you can go outside safely, more power to you! And I will!

[radiant wind]

The mouse thing?

[hallow kayak]

ikr im filled with excellent ideas

[radiant wind]

Debatable but this one was

[hallow kayak]

you just havent heard all of my ideas

once you do youre sold

[worthy spear]

yeah i understood the fact you were joking, just wanted to explain. What are you up to do this evening

[radiant wind]

That is true, I'll make an excel sheet, categorize them by good and bad and see what the outcome is

[zealous ginkgo]

Mouse thing!

[radiant wind]

Drinking wine, eating snacks and playing games

[radiant wind]

MOUSE THING!?

[hallow kayak]

yea

[wintry totem]

Ahh, sounds like paradise 🌴

[zealous ginkgo]

Ahhh!! Mouse thing!!! I don’t know what it is!

[hallow kayak]

its a mouse

[worthy spear]

sounds good! Do you have a favourite wine?

[radiant wind]

It will be!

[radiant wind]

Not yet I'm very new to drinking wine, so atm I prefer sweeter whites, but I'm trying red as well and pair them with food

[worthy spear]

did you tried some italian wines?

[harsh pagoda]

@radiant wind wines tend to mellow the longer you let them be exposed to air, so if you invest in a good decanter that can help.

[radiant wind]

Not afaik, my parents love a good amount of them though

[radiant wind]

Taking notes

[left sable]

All wines are nice

[radiant wind]

I'm usually more of a whiskey/rum person so this is all kinda new to me, I don't like every taste yet either

[hallow kayak]

why try those things when you can have a good old beer

[elfin basin]

White Wine > Red Wine imo

[zealous ginkgo]

Cider only

[left sable]

Ah you're a man of culture as well

[elfin basin]

Sweet wines are the best

[radiant wind]

That is mostly what I'm drinking atm yes

[radiant wind]

I do like cider too

[radiant wind]

I just like a lot of different things, wines I just never got into yet!

[elfin basin]

A nice moscato beats beer any day

[zealous ginkgo]

Mud water > beer

[left sable]

It depends, if you drink wine when eating, white is not the best trough all the meal

[hallow kayak]

wow you guys 😦

[elfin basin]

yeah imo beer tastes like piss, but im not gunna hate on others for enjoying it

[harsh pagoda]

I like all of it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[elfin basin]

if youre going to get drunk, drink something that tastes good

its why the best alchoholic beverages are always cocktails

[hallow kayak]

thats why you start off strong

and go back to cut on the costs

you wont taste beer after 12 shots anyway

[left sable]

Every one have their personal tastes, and that is nice

[radiant wind]

This is also the boat I'm currently in

[feral salmon]

Have you tried any rosés

[hallow kayak]

ive tried red wines but thats just not for me

[radiant wind]

Yes I have, I don't have a clue what their names were

[elfin basin]

yeah, a lot of red wines tend to be dry and im also not a fan, Xy

[hallow kayak]

it really do be like that

[radiant wind]

Our new flat I will buy a proper cocktail set and make those too

[elfin basin]

my favorite budget cocktail is rum and sprite

[zealous ginkgo]

Flat. You’re not US. jammy roo red is good

[hallow kayak]

43 and cola is the budget thing to go for

[zealous ginkgo]

What is 43?

[harsh pagoda]

When I played sea of thieves I was inspired to make an upscale grog from rum and limeade

[hallow kayak]

licor 43

[elfin basin]

I love game-inspired cocktails

oftentimes I find that fan cocktails can be super creative

[harsh pagoda]

It was actually quite nice, the premade limeade from the store was very sweet already but I guess no more than soda.

[hallow kayak]

ohh how did you make it?

i sometimes load up SoT so having a nice drink on the side wont ever hurt

[harsh pagoda]

4:1 Limeade to Dark Rum over ice

[hallow kayak]

Ohh any specific type of dark rum?

[harsh pagoda]

Something Caribbean to get that authenticity, I used Goslings Black Seal. But get whatever is your favorite!

[hallow kayak]

Dont really have much in terms of favourites

They all get me tipsy in the end

[opal sage]

Grapefruit juice, lime juice, cardamom, and gin = my fave gaming 🍸

[strong meteor]

wtf

y'all talking grog over here

this server i swear

8 different subcultures already

[hallow kayak]

we're going to have an interracial war soon enough

[gilded delta]

Oh my

[radiant wind]

Don't forget the billion factions

[hallow kayak]

we gotta proclaim superiority as this subculture

[strong meteor]

I helped with that

[strong meteor]

Xcsue u

[radiant wind]

Thank you for your effort

[strong meteor]

You are very welcome

[hallow kayak]

i wish i could play palia ngl

[hallow kayak]

its all for the best of this server

[radiant wind]

Same, just sipping alcohol and cooking

[hallow kayak]

well i dont have access yet

idk if i ever wil

to the alpha or whatever it is in

[summer pelican]

One day we will all have access

[hallow kayak]

yes one day

but that is not this day

[left sable]

Some talk on general-chat, but the best ones talk in on off-topic

[radiant wind]

I mean this one I can keep up with

So that helps a lot

[dark heart]

now we have chuu VS chappa and general VS offtopic

[left sable]

Yup huge plus

[hallow kayak]

if you talk in the other chat youre going to get overrun by messages anyway

[radiant wind]

Yes

[hallow kayak]

so whatever you say there barely holds any value xd

[vivid kestrel]

oh are people talking about alcohol here

my french DNA is reacting

[left sable]

And idk, this channel is so chill it's nice

[hallow kayak]

its time then

[hallow kayak]

[hallow kayak]

[radiant wind]

Damn almost 23 and already a boomer

[hallow kayak]

i was gonna post a youtube link

but ill probably get warned for it

[vivid kestrel]

welp, i'm 23 so i guess i'm an extra-boomer

[radiant wind]

I'm 24 so I'm ultra boomer

[hallow kayak]

super boomers

[vivid kestrel]

tho i'll say this community is surprisingly pretty mature, not a lot of kids here it'd seem

which i can get behind (no, not get behind the kids you monsters)

[radiant wind]

They're also surprsingly nice

[vivid kestrel]

hey, i'm nice, are you nice ?

[radiant wind]

hi nice, I'm dad

[hallow kayak]

[left sable]

Yeah, and easy to talk with,

[hallow kayak]

hi dad im saruman

[radiant wind]

DW I have that effect on people

[hallow kayak]

[vivid kestrel]

the effect of fatherhood ?

[hallow kayak]

[ashen mountain]

[radiant wind]

I suppose that's a way of looking at it

[hallow kayak]

[left sable]

Oh the pic just sent, only 10 minutes later, thanks discord

[ashen mountain]

@radiant wind Sup lad

[hallow kayak]

[vivid kestrel]

[left sable]

My internet is pretty good, but discord had a stroke

[vivid kestrel]

just imagine living in the center of paris and still having better phone coverage and internet in the middle of nowhere haha not me nonononono

[hallow kayak]

everytime theres a possibility to avoid paris

im taking it

[summer pelican]

A HAH

[left sable]

This is why i'm glad i'm not living in Paris

[unreal knoll]

I visited General, apparently links can be sent since the bot is under maintanance

[hallow kayak]

[summer pelican]

I’m 26, what level of boomer have I surpassed

[radiant wind]

Galaxy boomer

[hallow kayak]

[left sable]

[hallow kayak]

YOU LIED

[hallow kayak]

french?

[vivid kestrel]

we are legion

[hallow kayak]

oh no theyre already going to form a union!

STOP THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

[left sable]

Baguette for the win

[hallow kayak]

[flint escarp]

We are all ! We are baguette !

[left sable]

\o/

[radiant wind]

hon hon

[hallow kayak]

in order to balance things out we gotta gather the cheeselands

[hot bluff]

So how many factions is it now?

[radiant wind]

3 billion

[hot bluff]

Carrots, Chuu, Chappy, Corn...

[radiant wind]

At lesat

Every fruit & veggie

countries

[vivid kestrel]

welp the number of factions is : number of nations x number of vegetables

[radiant wind]

fruit&veggies + countries

the French

[vivid kestrel]

oyo

[hallow kayak]

even people with the same type of freckles is another faction

[vivid kestrel]

same idea

[radiant wind]

Two braincells working in union

[left sable]

Baguette is a veggie

[vivid kestrel]

mine should take notes

[radiant wind]

That's why I put "the French" as a separate faction

[hallow kayak]

i dont think the french could stay united for very long tho

you should atleast haev two different french

[radiant wind]

North French and South French

[vivid kestrel]

yeah the french community in video games is usually super toxic

[radiant wind]

And then Normandy splits off

again

[hallow kayak]

the revolutionary french

and the other

[left sable]

Yep that's why i never say i'm french

[vivid kestrel]

oh we already have : do you know what a "chocolatine" is ?

[hallow kayak]

no i dont know what type of french that is

[flint escarp]

It's depends of the game I think

[hallow kayak]

are those people able to drive normally?

[radiant wind]

it sounds like small chocolate

Oh I get it now

[vivid kestrel]

basically in france there are two factions : those who call a certain pastry a "pain au chocolat" and those who call the exact same pastry a "chocolatine"

[hallow kayak]

[vivid kestrel]

and it's basically been an ongoing feud between south-western france and the rest for dozens of year, i kid you not

light hearted feud, but still

[flint escarp]

Chocolatine is a lie 🤥

[left sable]

Team Pain au chocolat

[hallow kayak]

could you not fall apart for one second

French: SCREAMING

[vivid kestrel]

Team Chocolatine

[radiant wind]

Team Chocolate Croissant

[vivid kestrel]

f*ck

[hallow kayak]

team both?

[radiant wind]

With this simple trick not only do the french now hate each other, but me too

[left sable]

sad

[radiant wind]

It's like Germans and Berliner

Dutch with Friet/Patat

[vivid kestrel]

I'm from Bordeaux and proud to say chocolatine

[left sable]

I'm from Troyes and proud to say Pain au chocolat !

[hallow kayak]

there is only one right way

and that is friet

the other ways are a scam

[radiant wind]

Pain of chocolate let's go

[vivid kestrel]

Listen, I firmly believe everyone should be proud of their opinions and hold on tight to them

[hallow kayak]

chocolate is pain

[vivid kestrel]

As long as you know yours is wrong ❤️

[left sable]

Fichtre

[radiant wind]

I raise you patat/friet/frieten, to introduce the Flemish into this

[vivid kestrel]

Sacrebleu

[hallow kayak]

flemish doesnt exist

just like fries

[radiant wind]

Aardappel stokjes

[hallow kayak]

i can support that one

[radiant wind]

So a couple thousand factions yeah, at the VERY least

[hallow kayak]

and theyre all inferior to my faction

[vivid kestrel]

alright ttyl boiz and grills i'm gonna go eat

[hallow kayak]

but its 10pm

[radiant wind]

Bone apple teeth!

[hallow kayak]

i just barfed a little bit cos of that sentence

[vivid kestrel]

yes and i'm hungry

[hallow kayak]

goodluck

[frail badge]

brooklyn 99 is so funny

[hallow kayak]

is there a new season?

[frail badge]

I have just recently started watching it, I don't know

[hallow kayak]

man had to bring my hopes up

[limpid yacht]

I wonder if I could trade my console for a new gpu

[hallow kayak]

you

might just be able to

depends on the console

[dire ingot]

If a gtx 770 counts as new then maybe

[limpid yacht]

I got an xbox series x bc i couldn't get a gpu

but i still want a gpu.

[dire ingot]

Honestly I'd hold onto that thing

Best you'd get out of it is cash probably, or you might get lucky and get a used mining GPU

[left sable]

I'm glad I didn't wait the 3xxx series and just bought a 2070 super one month before

[dire ingot]

Yeah, a really solid idea. I've got a 1070 but won't be letting go of it for along while now

[limpid yacht]

I had an old RX 480 and the MSRP brand new in 2016 was 220 USD.

[hallow kayak]

ive got a 1070 aswell

[dire ingot]

Rather than blow more than it's worth on upgrading gpu I've been futureproofing/upgrading everything else

[limpid yacht]

I sold it on ebat a week ago

ebay*

[hallow kayak]

things still racing after 2 years

[limpid yacht]

for 245

I set it up as bid and set it for 180 and let people bid

[dire ingot]

gpu/silicon market is just a mess atm

[vivid kestrel]

ok so i'm back

[hallow kayak]

welcome back

[limpid yacht]

it's unfortunate

[vivid kestrel]

and quick question

[dire ingot]

But within 5 or so years is gonna change up hopefully

[hallow kayak]

im going to go into the silicon branch

itll be going up again at the end of the year

dont worry bout that people be catching up

[vivid kestrel]

what in the F*CK happened in #💭│discord-server-thoughts while i was gone

[dire ingot]

A lot of companies are moving towards their own silicon production lines and countries are even putting forward to build new facilities for things like TSMC

[hallow kayak]

FUN HAPPENED!

[limpid yacht]

This is going to sounf flippin stupid but I'm hoping apple starts making gpu's that beat both intel, nvidia and AMD (Though, I have an nvidia gpu, but I love amd)

[hallow kayak]

apple never is going to beat anyone

[limpid yacht]

sound*

[dire ingot]

Whether the scalper and mainstream gpu market stay strained is a different story though as online content and the like becomes more popular and normal in daily life

[hallow kayak]

theyre already using off-brand samsung parts

[vivid kestrel]

can we talk about it or is it has-been already ? xD

[hallow kayak]

the best they can do is use someone elses parts and just put an apple sticker on it

[dire ingot]

Only thing Apple has going for it is the fact that it's software runs on such a narrow line of products

[hallow kayak]

it has been already but you can read back

[limpid yacht]

Their ARM cpu's are starting to beat intel though and its only the first beta iteration of it.

[vivid kestrel]

oh i did

[dire ingot]

The thing is though Apple has everything in house for that sort of stuff

[hallow kayak]

because intel is going downhill like its going bankrupt anytime soon

[dire ingot]

They make their own silicon and architecture and OS and everything

[hallow kayak]

its amazing

[vivid kestrel]

I have points that i agree with on both sides, which makes me an asshole in the eyes of everyone invoolved i guess xD

[limpid yacht]

I hope intel starts going downhill more, honestly. them and NVidia

[limpid yacht]

I hate the market cap that exists so much

[dire ingot]

They have way more control over what happens on the system and can make performance gains in areas no one else can since they support so many more devices and systems

[limpid yacht]

along with scalpers and botters for gpus

[left sable]

I think NVIDIA will stay godtier for a long time

[hallow kayak]

anyone buying apple products is supporting an unhealthy consumer good environment

[limpid yacht]

AMD is catching up, bit by bit.

[hallow kayak]

AMD is already high up

[dire ingot]

Honestly Nvidia ain't even all that godtier anymore

[hallow kayak]

but i think AMD would be better off focusing on CPU's

[limpid yacht]

Me, who traded a minecraft account for an M1 Macbook Pro:

[dire ingot]

Though doesn't make a difference anyways when you can't buy a gpu 😢

[hallow kayak]

that is srsly always the case you cant hide from it. i just shut up whenever those things pop up

i dont agree with anything

[sick hound]

that looks awesome 😮

[hallow kayak]

hahaah wtf a minecraft account xD

[dark heart]

bro I cried over the first one

[limpid yacht]

It was worth it.

[fresh portal]

cute

[sick hound]

what is happening to the human on the first one though

[left sable]

Nvidia have a lot of technologies that give them a lot of performance, but yeah AMD is catching up but it is not for today

[dark heart]

I saw the second one printed on a notebook so I went and found the artist

[torpid sequoia]

I enjoy these. Thank you for sharing. Your time spent, is greatly appreciated.

[vivid kestrel]

same

[dire ingot]

Also kinda important to realize the breadth that AMD tackles tech with

[reef spade]

Hamper demon?

[autumn sequoia]

cat and sheep

[dire ingot]

They don't just do gpus

[reef spade]

I do like those prints though

[pine ingot]

It is so typical.
My PC decided to say night night a year ago, and now that I finally saved up enough money for a new one with some pieces already here, there is no proper graphics card to find anywhere. 😕

[dark heart]

@sick hound the artist draws about dissociation, depression, etc. i think the grey ghost character represents something like that

[dire ingot]

AMD does CPUs alongside them and develops largely open source software for public use

[dark heart]

the first one is called "one day at a time"

[dire ingot]

Compared to the closed circuit that Nvidia develops on and uses

[sick hound]

does the artist have a twitter? i love to follow great artists

[vivid kestrel]

if being on twitter for 5 minutes taught me anything, it's that it's always better for my health and patience to not get involved xD

[left sable]

AMD Ryzen are so good

[dire ingot]

Also that's some really awesome art @dark heart !

[hallow kayak]

ahaaha you should avoid social meida

i cant stand those people

[dark heart]

@sick hound her name is felicia Chiao and she had an insta idk about a twitter

[limpid yacht]

Ryzen is bae. I'm using a 3700x rn

[hallow kayak]

fcking influencers are the worst

[hallow kayak]

3700x gang

[dense slate]

Serta mattress.. xD

[limpid yacht]

But A cpu means shit when you don't have a gpu that can live up to it.

[dark heart]

https://instagram.com/feliciachiao?utm_medium=copy_link

[limpid yacht]

buying gpu, 1 dollar.

[left sable]

same here r7 3700x

[hallow kayak]

hahaha my system is getting bottlenecked like no tomorrow

but i have no regrets

[sick hound]

awesome! ty

[dire ingot]

I'm cheap and had my old 4690k die on me like a month before 5000 series was released 😢 so I settled for a 3600

[autumn sequoia]

I'm just chilling with my 3700X and 1080Ti, good enough you know

[limpid yacht]

what gpu you got?

[vivid kestrel]

the blue checkmarks on twitter mmmmhhhhmmmm feels good

[limpid yacht]

I'll trade you 5 pennies and a can of soda for that gpu

[autumn sequoia]

Never ⚔️

[limpid yacht]

I hate twitter so much. weirdo checkmark people

[left sable]

It's awesome 😮

[limpid yacht]

rock paper scissors, winner gets it for 4 pennies.

[dire ingot]

Honestly twitter is one of the least crappy social medias imo

[hallow kayak]

man i had to fcking chance my 8350fx XD

i still loved that thing tho

[dire ingot]

I feel that

[radiant wind]

Gonna get me a nice 5800x to pair with my 3080 in a couple weeks 👀

[dire ingot]

My 4690k carried my computer for like 5 or 6 years

[hallow kayak]

man those fx series heated up

[limpid yacht]

damn you rich af, spending 10 grand on those

[dire ingot]

Lmao no kidding

[hallow kayak]

ive never been an intel fan

and never am going to be

[radiant wind]

I actually got lucky and got a 3080 around msrp

[dire ingot]

Intel was just where it was at for the longest time

Same with AMD now

[hallow kayak]

im glad AMD got mainstream

[dire ingot]

Just how it goes, as a business though I definitely prefer AMD's practices

[hallow kayak]

the hard work paid off

[limpid yacht]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/025/543/eca.jpg

lucky you doe 😦

[radiant wind]

Mine wasn't when I got it

[limpid yacht]

lmao

[radiant wind]

I was on a forum where they have trackers set up for that kind of stuff

[hallow kayak]

ive been waiting for a 3xxx but i cant seem to get around being bothered with that stuff

[radiant wind]

And got super lucky

[dire ingot]

Lmao even still you gotta have god tier luck to grab one

[limpid yacht]

https://puu.sh/HMj5C/33fda1cd2a.png

[radiant wind]

100% very happy, came from a 1060 3GB

[limpid yacht]

I watch this all day

and can't seem to be lucky enough to grab one.

[dire ingot]

Damn, one hell of an upgrade

[limpid yacht]

1060 6gb here.

[dire ingot]

When I first built my system as a broke high school kid I was on the 4690k with a 2gb 960 lol

[hallow kayak]

you wouldnt really need a new one tho

[dire ingot]

Was pushing my luck trying to play The Witcher 3 without blowing my computer up back then lol

[radiant wind]

Well the forum sent you a message as soon as it detected stock, and it's Germany, so I assume it isn't AS crowded as the USA

[hallow kayak]

man i even had fcking issues with league

after a while

shit hit the fan

[radiant wind]

Just clean the fan then 5head

[limpid yacht]

nah trust me you're lucky. there's way more bots in the EU than in US. but thats just consoles. unsure about gpu but guessing its similar

[limpid yacht]

if it makes you feel better, the first gpu I had, I got off ebay for 30 dollars bc it said broken. it was a GTX 660 SC

and it worked.

[hallow kayak]

Ha never.

[radiant wind]

100% I just got super lucky

[limpid yacht]

no clue why the seller said it was broke af.

gpu worked no issues at all.

Almost fried that thing working it on "Rust", a game.

[hallow kayak]

i wouldnt even know the first GPU ive had

[loud linden]

my first was a 960! hah

[hallow kayak]

probably a cheap one

since my entire pc was about 500 euros xd

[dire ingot]

Man I loved playing rust when I first got it

[hallow kayak]

people enjoying rust..?

[dire ingot]

Bought the game when it first came out, before I even had my own computer

Was playing at like 10fps on the family iMac back in 2011 or whatever

[radiant wind]

Holy shit

I remember playing Halo 2 on my dad's pc in idk when and completed it with a solid 7 fps

[static hazel]

I wanna play rust for uh
Interesting interactions :)

[dire ingot]

Those were the days lol

You could play a slideshow and still enjoy it

[hallow kayak]

everytime i think back on those days i cant seem to remember how horrible the fps's actually were

[torpid sequoia]

I consider you all my great friends

[dire ingot]

Glad to know Uncle, would love to catch up over some tea sometime

[radiant wind]

Thank you Uncle Iroh

[hallow kayak]

[torpid sequoia]

Nothing would make me more happy

[hallow kayak]

good will be to you uncle iroh

[torpid sequoia]

Thank you for your kind words.

[sage seal]

Korra > ATLA

[dire ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/kebab-keenan-thompson-idk-about-gif-13262791

Korra definitely has its moments but I find myself at odds with Korra herself at times

Though I won't refute the fact that I definitely have rose colored glasses for ATLA

[radiant wind]

tbh I do too, it was great when I watched it 4 months ago

[hallow kayak]

how could you say something so controversial yet so brave

[frail badge]

[dire ingot]

I also think Korra gets a bad rap purely on the fact that it's a "new generation" rather than continuation

[sage seal]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fire-lighting-up-firing-greOmHC43URsH18mvW

[radiant wind]

Well the war is about to break loose so I'll just relocate to bed

[hallow kayak]

korra in any way or shape is inferior towards ATLA

[dire ingot]

I would have loved to see older Aang and stuff but I won't say no to more avatar content regardless, plus Korra took us down a different route than ATLA

[sage seal]

But Korras journey is a lot more complex than Aangs

I prefer Aang as a character

[dire ingot]

I'd agree sort of, they took personal struggles on rather than exterior for her mostly

[hallow kayak]

i never actually felt like korra was the avatar

[dire ingot]

I'd also agree on that, I found at times that it felt like Korra got a power boost or the hang of her abilities exactly when she needed to and not a second earlier

[hallow kayak]

more like a special kid

wow

[dire ingot]

Also true but that's in part to her treatment by the people around her

[sage seal]

but Legend of Korra is a much more introspective look on all that power and responsibility

[dire ingot]

Did anyone really doubt this?

[hallow kayak]

korra hardly met any time of character development

[dire ingot]

Yeah, I think the interior struggles and introspection of Korra was the best part of her character

[sage seal]

ATLA is pretty much lol fun avatar training montage

[limpid yacht]

I wasn't a huge korra fan tbh

[dire ingot]

I just think what we saw on the outside heavily downplayed those aspects and made them less significant

[limpid yacht]

I didn't really care for the adult aspect of them doing their dumb adult arguments.

[radiant wind]

I haven't seen LoK, but wasn't she basically spoiled, got Deus Ex Machnica'd a couple times and then just reluctantly learned the skills necessary?

[static hazel]

ATLA was funny
Korra felt more serious to me

[hallow kayak]

she was

[dire ingot]

Aang's also a lot "younger" than Korra and naive as to how everything works. It's a difference in personalities and purpose that makes it feel like that

[limpid yacht]

oh said curse word

[hallow kayak]

aang literally had to do everything on his own

while korra just got hand fed every road along the way

[limpid yacht]

tl;dr whiny spoiled girl got lucky due to godly powers.

[feral salmon]

Korra storyline is all over the place bc I don't think they ever knew for sure they would get more seasons but watching it after all that drama was fun

[dire ingot]

Yeah it certainly feels like that with how each of the seasons happened

[limpid yacht]

it was so bad they moved it from tv show to online only halfway thru

[feral salmon]

I think they did their best given the situation imo

[limpid yacht]

last airbender was probably always and forever going to be the best.

[hallow kayak]

i think if they painted it a little bit different

[static hazel]

Ok
Avatar is good
But did anyone else watch Steven universe? I never seem to meet people who have

[dire ingot]

I don't disagree at all, just wish it could have been more cohesive

[hallow kayak]

and didnt do it in a sense of a succession of ATLA

it wouldve been a much better serie

[spark bridge]

i did

[radiant wind]

My partner has watched and kinda started hating it at the end iirc

[limpid yacht]

I think bc they made it more... emotional and didn't blend it well enough with timing with the action.

emotional good, but timing important

[dire ingot]

On the same note as Steven Universe, what about Gravity Falls?

[limpid yacht]

or like it wasn't just emotional, it was a lot of dramatics.

[radiant wind]

yes

[spark bridge]

hi

:D

[feral salmon]

The real winner is Shera

[static hazel]

I liked the series. I think at some point it became a bit over the top with Steven, his character just didn't have good development

[radiant wind]

also true

[spark bridge]

true

[spark bridge]

i agree

[static hazel]

I liked gravity falls, need to watch shera

[radiant wind]

I didn't really want to watch shera but then my partner did and I joined in after 2 episodes and binged the entire thing

[hallow kayak]

never watched either of them

[radiant wind]

Gravity falls really is great imo

[static hazel]

Oh oh
Over the garden wall!

It's by far my fav shorter cartoon series

[spark bridge]

here

[static hazel]

I have unironically watched it 16 times

[spark bridge]

really?

woow

[static hazel]

I make people binge it with me

[hallow kayak]

so when are we binging then?

[static hazel]

I have no life, what timezone you in buddy?

[radiant wind]

Palia discord binge session

[hallow kayak]

CET

[static hazel]

Eyyy same

[hallow kayak]

[dire ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-gabriel-dropout-lazy-tired-gif-12165915

[static hazel]

So what are you doing uhh tomorrow day/evening? Like 16:00? I'll do this. Don't test me lol

[hallow kayak]

what are you...?

dont test you?

[radiant wind]

they're going to roundhouse kick you

[hallow kayak]

never have been before

might be fun

[static hazel]

Oh dear no
I just don't wanna be stood up lol

[dire ingot]

Friendship version of "what are you going to do, kiss me?"

[radiant wind]

new experiences

[radiant wind]

That's not the friendship version?

[static hazel]

If someone wants to binge series with me, I'm dead serious at all times

[dire ingot]

What series are up for binge?

[hallow kayak]

wow youre taking this way more serious

[static hazel]

Do you not kiss your friends?

[hallow kayak]

yes

well

no

you kiss your family

[radiant wind]

Friends are chosen family tho

[left sable]

Only series I watch atm are Crunchyroll's anime

[hallow kayak]

i

what

[dire ingot]

Only if they're vaccinated

[hallow kayak]

so if youre not friends with your family are they family?

[static hazel]

Over the garden wall was the idea, since that's only like 140 min or something

[dire ingot]

Fair

[radiant wind]

Then you're the end of the bloodline

[hallow kayak]

@static hazel im free tomorrow 16:00

[dire ingot]

Missing out on a lot of gems then!

[static hazel]

[hallow kayak]

just the way id like it to be

[static hazel]

Does this discord even have a voice chat?

[radiant wind]

It does not

[static hazel]

Ah heck

That makes it harder

[hallow kayak]

wait no voice?

[radiant wind]

Just add each other as friends

and then get in a call

[hallow kayak]

what kind of weird ass discord server is this

[spark bridge]

idk

[left sable]

Yeah 2021 is a good year tbh, and I can't wait october

[radiant wind]

Well imagine having to host a 10k people cause they wanna play

[hallow kayak]

yes i want to play

am i going to play

no im not cos im not in the closed

[radiant wind]

You're not a closed alpha, more like a closed beta

[worthy lynx]

Just make another server for those who want to go voc

[static hazel]

I mean you wouldn't host all on the same vc, you can put max per vc. Also a lot of people are way too awkward for that

[hallow kayak]

ahhahah

man when youre in a server with 500 people and only 3 dare coming into VC

and if people come they mute themselves

meanwhile everyone with online class be like 😐

[worthy lynx]

True x)

[static hazel]

Lol
This was the Risk of Rain 2 server

5000 ppl
No one in vc

[hallow kayak]

F in the chat

[static hazel]

If they were in vc, it was in the game lobby vc's and everyone would just kinda be quiet in there

[worthy lynx]

Men, that's sad x)

[hallow kayak]

well risk of rain is a game youd play with your friends and just stay in a discord to catch up on metapicks/updates

and not much in the sense of making buddies in that server xd

[static hazel]

The ror2 server was just frog memes and one dude named crescendo that was too angry to die

[hallow kayak]

never die crescendo

[static hazel]

Idk if you've played ror2

But making it to level 100 with monsoon and no artifacts is a damn feat

[hallow kayak]

none

not a single hour

like not even a minute.

[static hazel]

You're missing out, it's a very good game

Even alone it's fun

[hallow kayak]

im not missing out on anything

im not going to play such a game alone

[left sable]

never played risk of rain

[static hazel]

"Such a game"

[hallow kayak]

what you mean with such a game xD

[static hazel]

You make it sound like I suggested hunny pop

[unborn furnace]

ah yes, a modern classic

[static hazel]

Ah yes, the best game to come out on steam.

[hallow kayak]

ive played huniepop

and im not ashamed of it

it was one of the best match-them type of game ive played in a while.

[static hazel]

Hunny pop players anonymous lololol

[left sable]

huniepop2 is nice too

[hallow kayak]

ive played that aswell

and i liked that one less

huniepop 1 actually felt like you had accomplished something cos that game was genuinely a struggle at some points

but huniepop2 was just a joke and an empty shell compared to its former glory

[static hazel]

I appreciate how seriously you took that game

[hallow kayak]

if im going to spend my bucks on it im going to form a proper opinion about the game

now i cant change much about games that already have left beta/wont be updated

and i dont want to be in a discord with people from... huniepop...

its the best i can do

[left sable]

well huniepop was fun to play but not at a serious state yeah

[normal crescent]

Dang you've been active here all day Alpha?

[hallow kayak]

i get that its not a game you can take serious but ive played it for different reasons?

[left sable]

Well yeah, pretty rare, i'm pretty much the guy who never talk and just read, but idk, wanted to talk today !

[hallow kayak]

im known to have that effect

[left sable]

eh, played it just to see why the game was played but a lot of people

how dare you make me want donuts

[dire ingot]

They very much are

[urban wharf]

pls share with the class

[dire ingot]

From a small local bakery

[dire ingot]

I would but the fam already devoured them

[hallow kayak]

we're all in desperate need of your donuts

[dire ingot]

I have more pictures of more donuts, but pictures aren't edible sadly

[normal crescent]

Lovely! 😄 @left sable

[urban wharf]

[dire ingot]

I'll save some for you next year

[hallow kayak]

you didnt save any

[urban wharf]

Youre a real homie big appreciate

[static hazel]

Donut posting!

[dire ingot]

Oh hell yeah those are some pretty donuts

[livid lotus]

Just devour the fam and you'll get the donuts indirectly

[urban wharf]

omg yall are gonna make me have to get donuts

[dire ingot]

Those the kinds of ones you'd see at a wedding or something fancy

[hallow kayak]

i like sugars

[urban wharf]

you right

[hallow kayak]

i dont like humans

[livid lotus]

Can't tell if anti-canibal or depresso espresso

[static hazel]

Or next to the local highschool, and then you smack down 3 of them in one go as you sit by the ocean lololol

[hallow kayak]

thats the secret

[static hazel]

Xyzzy (my phone wants to call you fuzzy) hates humans, both in tase and company. Agreeable

[dire ingot]

Very true Shark

Reminds of when I was in high school a hot dog place popped up next to it

Was supposed to be some fancy hipster thing but flopped cause students wanted greasy and cheap hot dogs lmao

[hallow kayak]

what wot what is this type of thing

[dire ingot]

Was a really odd bespoke style hot dog place

[hallow kayak]

i dont mind company... just when they start getting annoying

[dire ingot]

Like bragging about locally sourced stuff and putting really weird toppings on

[inner rain]

Did someone already asked if this game will be for PS5/XSX?

[hallow kayak]

no

[static hazel]

We had one of those down the road a while ago, idk why you'd go for fancy sausage when eating at a normal restaurant costs about as much?

[hallow kayak]

and those need to go into the suggestions

[dire ingot]

The plain hotdogs weren't bad at all but their selection was awful lmao, they had some huge ice cream sandwiches though so that was cool

[hallow kayak]

man they dont understand their market at all

[dire ingot]

Yeah was a little silly to have it next to a Tims and think you'd get anything out of it

[static hazel]

Ok but if we're gonna talk food

[hallow kayak]

i normally go to germany

and buy sausage there

cos nobody can beat the germans

[static hazel]

Spanish tapas are literally the best thing ever if made proper

[livid lotus]

I mean

[dire ingot]

German sausages always slap no 🧢

Polish too for that matter

[livid lotus]

There's a joke in there somewhere

[static hazel]

I am born in Germany, but I can't stomach most sausage? It's super weird

[hallow kayak]

[livid lotus]

I'll need some allies to find it tho

[hallow kayak]

man you cant be like that

[static hazel]

squint

[dire ingot]

Have a local Polish deli (part Polish) and love Kielbasa

[hallow kayak]

we have this amazing butcher who imports polish sausages

[dire ingot]

Always so good heated up on rye bread

Polish stuff just so good man

[hallow kayak]

with a thick mayo

[dire ingot]

Oh hell yeah

[hallow kayak]

like a really THICC

mayo

[dire ingot]

Mayo should always be thick

Get that runny stuff out my face

[lilac trellis]

Rye Polish bread + chefs kiss

[hallow kayak]

i prefer the runny stuff on my fries

[dire ingot]

Absolutely

[static hazel]

But ... Mayo shouldn't be able to stand on its own :(

[dire ingot]

Okay yeah I get that reason

[hallow kayak]

idek what that is

ive never seen that

is that cheese?

[static hazel]

Smetana is like
Advanced sour cream

[lilac trellis]

I know...I know you havent your tastebuds wouldnt handle it. its like... thick double cream but its just polish version and its delicious af

Sour cream but like....magnified

[hallow kayak]

xcuseme?

[lilac trellis]

you have to go to Polish store, im sure you can find some

[hallow kayak]

course ive gone to a polish store numerous times

never did that stand out or anything..

[lilac trellis]

you can eat it in spoons

[static hazel]

I mean
You can get it in normal stores here? And I'm in Norway?

[hallow kayak]

[lilac trellis]

You put that stuff on this, and you just wanna die from food coma

Im drooling now. god help me

Slavic food looks like peasant village food but my god it tastes so good Q_Q

[hallow kayak]

well its made by peasants

[livid lotus]

I just want a good burger, man

[dire ingot]

It definitely does look like that lmao

[lilac trellis]

well i mean....wasnt everything? XD

[static hazel]

That's just ravioli, ain't it

[hallow kayak]

well yea sort of i guess

[lilac trellis]
