thyme is pog, rosemary and thyme together with crushed peppercorns and kosher salt

[hallow kayak]

i dont like rosemary anymore

[dire ingot]

Like look at these

These look normal yeah?

[hallow kayak]

ive been traumatized by rosemary

[lilac trellis]

what why

[hallow kayak]

i had a gin

which was based on rosemary

[lilac trellis]

your blue cooked steak loves rosemary

[hallow kayak]

and it was the most disgusting thing ever

[dire ingot]

Those things, affectionately called "Meat on a stick" in English (at least where I'm from), are amazing

[hallow kayak]

and everytime when i taste rosemary i think back of that time

i barf

[static hazel]

You could have stopped at this, and I think I still would have felt sympathy for not liking rosemary anymore

[lilac trellis]

I present thee

[livid lotus]

Unpopular opinion: I hate blue steak and usually cook it at least 145+

[lilac trellis]

Not an unpopular opinion only thing thats down right uneducated is fully cooked steak or passed medium

[hallow kayak]

thank you that means a lot

[dire ingot]

I usually aim for medium rare

[hallow kayak]

we all try to hit something

but deep down

we rarely hit it

[lilac trellis]

[static hazel]

HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIIIIDE

[hallow kayak]

[dire ingot]

Though Konosuba's way better than the other new anime same author has out

[lilac trellis]

[static hazel]

Hahahah

[hallow kayak]

[lilac trellis]

[hallow kayak]

[hallow kayak]

[livid lotus]

WAIT, DID THEY CHANGE LINKS SO YOU CAN ADD GIFS NOW!?

[static hazel]

I was thinking of lady Gaga's dress

https://tenor.com/view/meat-slap-that-meat-salt-bae-gif-7897765

[dire ingot]

That was a close second

[unborn furnace]

take: steak isnt even that good

[static hazel]

Don't beat your meat in a public server

[hallow kayak]

you gotta show whos boss

by slapping your meat

and proclaiming superiority

[lilac trellis]

I just pee on them

[hallow kayak]

mark what is yours

pee on everything

[static hazel]

Chicken and fish is on average better than steak imo UNLESS it's super tender steak

[lilac trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/mcdonalds-chicken-nuggets-dip-dipping-mcnuggets-gif-16967596

[static hazel]

Oh man I had nuggies yesterday

[hallow kayak]

we dont do fastfood here

[unborn furnace]

fish is the superior form of meat

[static hazel]

I've missed nuggies

[hallow kayak]

i had the spicy nuggets

yesterday

[static hazel]

From where?

[hallow kayak]

mac

obviously

the only thing the mac can do right for a low price is chicken

[static hazel]

Uhhh

[dire ingot]

Spicy chicken is just the way its meant to be

[lilac trellis]

OOOOH OOOH!

[static hazel]

We don't have spicy nuggets from McDonald's here

[dire ingot]

You don't sit down and not eat spicy chicken

[hallow kayak]

you dont have spicy nuggets?

[static hazel]

No

[hallow kayak]

damm youre missing out

[dire ingot]

Don't have it here either so I get spicy chicken sandwich from Wendys or A&W

[hallow kayak]

[lilac trellis]

This is a robbery :gun:

Xyzzy*

[hallow kayak]

[unborn furnace]

[hallow kayak]

youll have to go to the ma

i fry my own chicken

but thats different

[lilac trellis]

and yesterday I had tuna

[hallow kayak]

man thats so over the top for a simple dinner

[lilac trellis]

I work as a chef so~ but that was during the shift anyway

[hallow kayak]

ohhhhhh like that

[static hazel]

If you work in a kitchen, you eat the failed ones lol

[hallow kayak]

well thats fair then

[lilac trellis]

As if id bother making that at home LOL

[hallow kayak]

HAHHAHA

no i thought you were making it at home

[unborn furnace]

ill be honest, ive never been too big a fan of tuna, but salmon is an S-tier food

[dire ingot]

Chefs follow in the footsteps of tech developers

[hallow kayak]

i was like tf this boy doing

[lilac trellis]

Smoked salmon oooft

[lilac trellis]

if i put that tuna in front of you I dare you to not devour it

[hallow kayak]

you guys dont get it

[dire ingot]

They might make super fancy stuff at work but come to home it's back to basics

[hallow kayak]

ill have to teach you guys real fish.

[lilac trellis]

every chef i know at home they get a takeaway LOL

[hallow kayak]

its all in the HERRING

[static hazel]

Chefs eat what you can't give costumers. Kinda like homeless dogs.

[unborn furnace]

ill admit, your tuna does look pretty damn good

[lilac trellis]

HERRING <3

[dire ingot]

Exactly lmao. Who wants to spend their day cooking only to come home and cook lol

[livid lotus]

The only real seafood is crawfish

[hallow kayak]

just an entire herring with onions

simple

[lilac trellis]

HERRING IS DELICIOUS WITH A BIT OF OIL OMFG X_X skinned and boneless and a nice polish/lithuanian beer OMFG

[static hazel]

Pickled and fermented herring

[hallow kayak]

boneless

[static hazel]

[hallow kayak]

we arent wusses

[static hazel]

Give me the surströmming

[lilac trellis]

oh cyka bl9t

[static hazel]

Sill!!!!

I love sill!!!!!

[lilac trellis]

you shut up you show off you never eaten that in your life!!

[hallow kayak]

no no

[livid lotus]

You all are making me want to order seafood

[lilac trellis]

That see food diet

[wooden pond]

I'd love to move to a different country but I'm stuck for the time being since I have no degree

[dire ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-gif-4928619

[hallow kayak]

ITS THE RAW HERRING

[wooden pond]

[hallow kayak]

OBVIOUSLY

[unborn furnace]

good. seafood is the best food

[hallow kayak]

get a degree and move on easy fix

[lilac trellis]

anyone ever had raw herring with jalapeno mayo? Omg X_x

[static hazel]

Bro you wanna go, I eat that shit every holiday, it's delicious and traditional and it goes well with the boiled pigs feet and the herring potato gratin

[wooden pond]

isn't it pickled

[livid lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nooo-luke-skywalker-starwars-gif-5054968

[lilac trellis]

your breath must smell of a literal hobo asshole :X

[midnight grove]

We moved to Norway from the Netherlands, because my parents wanted to have a farm with lots of animals and lots of space

[lilac trellis]

no offense XDD

[hallow kayak]

well its not really raw

[wooden pond]

I'm 24, means I have to spend 4 years on a degree. thinking about just doing an IT bootcamp and winging it

[hallow kayak]

but pickled neither

[static hazel]

I absolutely brush my teeth, please

Christ

[lilac trellis]

Pickled onions T_T pog pls

[dire ingot]

Honestly I'd endorse that (to a degree). Post secondary education for the tech industry is woefully lacking

[hallow kayak]

or you get an online degree or a bacherlor that only takes two years

[dire ingot]

^ Also an idea

[static hazel]

It's pickled, raw herring. Some use salted but that's dumb

[wooden pond]

bachelor that only takes two years? Not sure if that exists here in eurooe

[hallow kayak]

they exist in full extent

[lilac trellis]

Tech Industry education is the worst thing you can go do degree in, most of them are so out of date, if you wanna learn techie stuff to be hired you gotta do it through interwebs #fax

[hallow kayak]

did you just diss my entire existence?

[wooden pond]

online degree i wouldn't get gov support and I'd have to work next to it

[dire ingot]

Yeah it's awful, I'm in for computer science and it sucks ass. But at least I'll have a better chance at getting a job or something maybe

[static hazel]

Are you a salted herring?

[lilac trellis]

royal herring <3

[hallow kayak]

im atleast 50% soused dutch herring

[hallow kayak]

theres still the 2 year bachelors 😦

[wooden pond]

I'm thinking about doing a 42 network program. I've heard interesting stuff about it cause it basically makes you learn without teachers and it's free

[lilac trellis]

Im struggling to contain my saliva ffs

[static hazel]

You're dutch?
Poofertjes!

[wooden pond]

idk if that exists here?

[hallow kayak]

OMG POFFERTJES

[wooden pond]

wait you're Dutch too?

[hallow kayak]

ITS SINGLE O

DOUBLE F

[dire ingot]

Alright

[static hazel]

Close your mouth and breath from your nose, it might help

[wooden pond]

where can I get a 2 Yr IT degree in the Netherlands

Lmao

[lilac trellis]

get pluralsight, and trust me, you go through all the tutorials? you will be the most hireable person on planet

[dire ingot]

Hypothesis time for the windmill lovers then

How many of y'all are over 6 feet?

[lilac trellis]

5'9 fuck you :(

[dire ingot]

Any and all Dutch people I know are 6 feet or above

[static hazel]

You smell like hagelslag

[wooden pond]

I know how to oopd program java at least that's something

[hallow kayak]

@wooden pond umm try LOI or maybe

[dire ingot]

I even know the freaks that are like 6'7

[wooden pond]

I'm 5'3

[hallow kayak]

i dont even eat hagelslag 😦

[wooden pond]

LOI I still have to pay for myself, no student finance

[lilac trellis]

yah but you is a wamen :x

[wooden pond]

Even women are tall here

Wydm

[dire ingot]

Yeah lmao

Like everyone there is huge for no reason lol

[lilac trellis]

Oh my god, are you Tyrion X_x

[static hazel]

Imagine being short and also using imperial measurements as a European

[dire ingot]

Though the few cases of short people I've heard of, they end up like actually short

[hallow kayak]

im 6'2

[static hazel]

188 cm

[wooden pond]

I just used imperial cause others were...

[hallow kayak]

[lilac trellis]

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/faggots-onion-gravy I had this with my family for lunch

[hallow kayak]

well we were kinda forced into using imperial units

[dire ingot]

Imperial is more common internationally for measurement of height and weight

[static hazel]

#maketheamericansgoogle

[hallow kayak]

since people online dont really know anything else

mainly because of ignorant americans

[dire ingot]

Metric is still better though

[wooden pond]

delicious

[hallow kayak]

oh yea obviously

metric above anything else

[wooden pond]

but yah idk what to do with my life. I failed this first year of college 😂

[left sable]

Metric is better

[dire ingot]

I just love seeing countries mix and match on the weirdest levels lol

[hallow kayak]

HAHA SAME HERE

[static hazel]

Metric is superior and more internationally used, just ignore the Americans and say it metric. They can learn too lol

[lilac trellis]

What's that in AMERICAN!?

[hallow kayak]

yea

[dire ingot]

UK is always the example, make fun of Americans when you drive in MPH on the wrong side of the road lmao

[wooden pond]

yay corona depression ig

[static hazel]

Lololol

[lilac trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/wnyx-news-radio-andy-matthew-brock-measurement-gif-17863273

[hallow kayak]

im not suffering from depression and im not really failing gradewise just everything else is falling apart

man americans are really something else

[static hazel]

UK is americas slightly cognitively challenged dad

[wooden pond]

my Dean is like "dw just focus on yourself" thankfully

[dire ingot]

Corona just messing with everyone tbh

[hallow kayak]

not really

[hallow kayak]

we get a second year for free

cos of corona

[dire ingot]

Lmao no kidding, NA looks up to them because they're the closest country lol

[wooden pond]

I am haha everything is falling apart and I haven't followed classes in a while, kinda isolated myself :(

I'd have to redo the first year of this degree so that's why I am doubting if I want to continue

[dire ingot]

That's entirely understandable given the situation

[hallow kayak]

i mean you can hardly blame yourself for the situation youre in right now

[dire ingot]

Just very crude and showing how Universities and the like have been behaving regarding this kind of stuff

[lilac trellis]

sorry can't hear you all the way there from my first world country >: (

[dire ingot]

Like they've already seen students struggle with showing up to class when it was in person and there wasn't a global pandemic

[hallow kayak]

a lot of people will pass to the second grade even if they have failing grades because of the covid

[wooden pond]

yeah true

[dire ingot]

What did they think would happen to mental health and the like when it's even more isolated and more stress is placed on the student

[static hazel]

You're not allowed here anyway, exit with brexit luv

[lilac trellis]

USA has it worse, they let black people in just for the sake of it and deny entry to Asians. So.

[hallow kayak]

its not only the students but the teachers are suffering from it aswell

[wooden pond]

i can't stand not in person classes. Doesn't give me the same amount of responsibility feeling

[dire ingot]

I totally get that

Super easy thing to struggle with since you're so disconnected from the style of learning you've done for your entire life

[hallow kayak]

asians actually had the majority from uni's and america was afraid theyd take over the entire system

[lilac trellis]

wait wha? I dont understand what that means

[hallow kayak]

well the majority of people going to and graduating from a uni were asians

[static hazel]

The US is a shit show, can we at least agree on that?

[dire ingot]

Didn't know anyone disputed it

[hallow kayak]

and they were getting a ton of top positions in the systems of the USA

[dire ingot]

But also while we're at it don't forget about Canada at this rate

[lilac trellis]

yah and?

[hallow kayak]

so they had to control them in order to stop america from going chinese

[dire ingot]

Not much better up there either

[lilac trellis]

that's racism :')

[hallow kayak]

you dont have to tell me you gotta tell america 🙂

[static hazel]

I know like 3 Americans who will and can dispute it by loudly announcing they own guns and I don't and therefore they win lol

[dire ingot]

Lmao

[unborn furnace]

sinophobia huh

[lilac trellis]

thats why Asian students are suing them to supreme court

[hallow kayak]

youre always missing out on deadlines aswell xD

[dire ingot]

Very true

There's just zero sense that what you're experience is actually school

[lilac trellis]

Dont try to debate guns, I am Russian living in UK and I can tell you that guns being legal should be a thing everywhere

[hallow kayak]

well goodluck trying to sue the american system...

[wooden pond]

We had business lectures of online class of 250 ppl it was fking horrendous 😂

[hallow kayak]

HAHAHHA

[dire ingot]

Oh God

[hallow kayak]

THOSE TEAMS MEETINGS WITH 400 PEOPLE

[wooden pond]

Not even one smaller group lesson to ask questions

[dire ingot]

Yeah that's another thing I've missed out on but totally understand

First year lectures online would be an absolute nightmare

[hallow kayak]

man i really want the colleges back

[dire ingot]

Like so bad that they shouldn't even be a thing at that point

[hallow kayak]

honestly its absolutely the shittiest thing ever

[wooden pond]

And my school is prob gonna continue it after the summer

[hallow kayak]

the teachers dont understand shit

[dire ingot]

They definitely don't lmao

[wooden pond]

Especially cause IT study has been treated like a fking joke

[hallow kayak]

srsly? we're all going back to classrooms

[dire ingot]

They get paid the same for less work while pushing more responsibility onto the student

[hallow kayak]

i think IT study is a bit of a joke in that sense

[wooden pond]

We have been the last to get on location classes back basically

[lilac trellis]

What's fascinating is the fact that you can see the flaws in education system in gaming. People who play competitive video games show their competence in learning so hard especially in games like League of Legends, schools need more emphasis on teaching how to learn more than anything

[dire ingot]

I'm slated for all online classes still for both my fall and winter semester

[hallow kayak]

im not

its already certain we're going back to the classroom starting fall

[dire ingot]

I mean if they did that they wouldn't be able to suppress history or the population now would they?

[static hazel]

It's so nice to not go to school anymore

[wooden pond]

they want to prioritise studies that "actually need" irl classes

[hallow kayak]

in that sense IT-studies you can really do on your own

[static hazel]

Hearing this shit show from the sidelines is like watching traffic accidents on LiveLeak

[lilac trellis]

Are we all here pretty much slavic/nordic lol?

[hallow kayak]

no

[wooden pond]

I am just a person that profits of meeting teachers offline more

[dire ingot]

Nope, NA home grown

[static hazel]

Dutch mainly it seem actually

[wooden pond]

Dutch is neither slavic or nordic >:(

[lilac trellis]

Dutch are pretty much nordic xD

[hallow kayak]

stfu your ass we aint

[static hazel]

Dutch people are not Nordic

[lilac trellis]

AH PLEASE~~~~

[static hazel]

No

[hallow kayak]

[dire ingot]

Yeah I'd agree that they aren't

[wooden pond]

We are germanic

[hallow kayak]

some people might even consider latin

[lilac trellis]

I thought you were a polak wtf? whats all this polish food from!?

[static hazel]

Dutchies are too far down. We barely want Denmark because they're mainlanders.

[hallow kayak]

from the polish immigrants.

[dire ingot]

Mom's side is largely Polish lmao

[hallow kayak]

somehow

[dire ingot]

Lmao fair enough

[hallow kayak]

every east block person

[wooden pond]

I love pierogi

[hallow kayak]

ends up in the netherlands

[dire ingot]

We do always pull out the Polish beer and food at family get togethers

[hallow kayak]

we got our own beer

[loud linden]

hello people!

[hallow kayak]

and its the best beer

[dire ingot]

And even once upon a time would sing happy birthday in Polish and English lol

[hallow kayak]

you cant fight us

hey hey

[wooden pond]

I did family tree research I'm one of the most Dutch persons out there lmao

[static hazel]

Hello

[dire ingot]

Lmao damn

[hallow kayak]

i dont even have to research it

i know im not

[static hazel]

Dad is German, mom is swedish, I live in norway

[hallow kayak]

tho ive got a faint line of royality running through my blood

[dire ingot]

Got Stroopwafel running through your veins instead of blood cells huh lol

[hallow kayak]

[wooden pond]

There's a few greatgreatgreatgrandparents that are German but that's it

[loud linden]

are those places close to each other?

[hallow kayak]

my grandpa is po-....

[novel arch]

Nope.... just shy of the Border. xD ...Great grandparents are from East Prussia...

[hallow kayak]

nvm

[wooden pond]

Lmao right that's why I donate it every 4 months :)

[hallow kayak]

we gotta pump up those blood sugars from people we donate blood to

[wooden pond]

They gotta use my blood for further stroopwafel production

[hallow kayak]

stroopwafels are life

[static hazel]

Ghengis khan doesn't count

[hallow kayak]

no

[static hazel]

Semi

[hallow kayak]

i dont count that as royalty XD

[wooden pond]

My haplogroup is connected to Marie antoinette but that's all I got going for me

[hallow kayak]

i wouldnt know

my grandma just knows shes short of from blue blood

and thats all im interested in

[wooden pond]

At some point in time we shared the same ancestors but can also be like 1000 years ago

[hallow kayak]

we all are from ghengis khan

[wooden pond]

Oh cool

I recommend doing family history research it's fun

[hallow kayak]

no

i dont enjoy needles.

[static hazel]

I'm from a long line of substance abuse and bad life choices.

It's almost impressive once you start checking the family records

[hallow kayak]

or spitting in a cup.

[wooden pond]

You don't need needles haha

You can just do research without dna tests

[dire ingot]

While it might not be a direct line to Royalty, a relative on my Mom's side was a bastard of one of princes of England, can't remember which though

[hallow kayak]

its hard doing research with stuff you dont know

[wooden pond]

It depends on how old you are

[hallow kayak]

A BASTARD YOU SAY

[dire ingot]

Yeah lmao

[static hazel]

Bastard children uwu

[dire ingot]

In the same branch my grandfather claims we're related to Sir Francis Drake somehow

[wooden pond]

Here in the Netherlands records get released after a certain time

[hallow kayak]

THE SNOWS ARE RUNNING ABOUT AGAIN

[wooden pond]

And most of it is online nowadaus

[dire ingot]

Don't know if I trust that one though, but he's been spot on about a lot of stuff in family history recently

[hallow kayak]

i wouldnt even know the last name of my grandmae

not even gonna lie

[dire ingot]

Nah my family's nuts about history

We've got records of stuff going well back into the 1800s

[wooden pond]

You can start with the birth records of your parents

[dire ingot]

Even got photos and stuff

[unborn furnace]

Imagine not being fairly closely related to a royals of some sort

[dire ingot]

Right? Couldn't be me

[hallow kayak]

xcuse me

birth records of my parents

that seems like a whole hassle

[wooden pond]

Yes those state the names of their parents

You can just get those online nowadays

[unborn furnace]

my claim to fame is that my great great great great uncle was an emperor, although he was self-declared and died 4 years later

[midnight grove]

I moved from the netherlands to Norway please send me deep fried snacks im dying over here 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[wooden pond]

Like technology has become very efficient I did "research" but most of it has already been compiled by other people in public family trees

[dire ingot]

Lmao quite the story to tell

[hallow kayak]

no

you traitor

[static hazel]

My maternal grandfather made the decision to research us back to the 1750's, which is the oldest surviving record.
Not a single one of us have been married if not for making someone pregnant and having to

[wooden pond]

I just had to connect the dots to myself

[hallow kayak]

where would that be? make my search easier

[static hazel]

How are you enjoying the Grandiosa?

[wooden pond]

myheritage.com is what I use

[midnight grove]

😂😂😂

[wooden pond]

I used the trial but they basically access all records online from other websites too

[midnight grove]

They are wel alright for the price i guess

[wooden pond]

It's like a big database compiled

[midnight grove]

Prefer bigone

[wooden pond]

And you can access all data about everyone except for living ppl of course and +50 years after death

[hallow kayak]

ill see

what comes up

when i fill in the info

[wooden pond]

If you ever need any more advice just dm me

[hallow kayak]

oh yea its already going badly

[static hazel]

I like the coop brand ones, everything else is too damn expensive.
Like the chocolate here costs like two arms and a leg

[wooden pond]

I understand you're against dna testing but it's also fun to connect to people who have similar parts dna and there's some people out there who make this their hobby and will help you figure out stuff too

[dire ingot]

Yeah just be careful of some of the companies you go with lmao

[midnight grove]

Big facts right there, i could buy a whole store in any other country with the amount i spend on normal groceries 😭

[hallow kayak]

thats blowing it way out of proportion

damn

people actually getting hyped about this

[hallow kayak]

inflation goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[dire ingot]

We all have high hopes for your heritage. It's alright if it's a little lackluster, we'll just be disappointed is all

[hallow kayak]

ahahhahaha

okay okay

now im basically being pushed into doing this

damn peer pressure

[wooden pond]

Yeah definitely. But EU data laws are very good. I also connected to a dude who basically is helping me figure out some German connections I might have in a specific region. They don't access your raw data. They just help figure out the paper family tree connection

[dire ingot]

Fair enough, I'm used to the NA standard of privacy and security

[dire ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-darkside-star-wars-evil-innerme-gif-13048146

[wooden pond]

And if you're afraid about people figuring out who your greatgreatgreatgrandparents are then you shouldn't worry cause all of the info is in public records

[dire ingot]

That's also true lol

[wooden pond]

100 years after your birth everything gets released, at least here in the Netherlands

[hallow kayak]

who was polish?

someone was pollish over here

[dire ingot]

👋 I'm part Polish

[hallow kayak]

how do i spell waddick?

waddik?

[dire ingot]

Without context I'm not sure what you're trying to ask how to spell lol

[midnight grove]

Waddiç

[hallow kayak]

i really dont care much about that they can have as much info as they want

[dire ingot]

My Polish isn't that polished lol

[hallow kayak]

HAHAHHAA

[wooden pond]

which Richard are you referring to

[dire ingot]

Mostly English and French, but been learning Japanese for the shits

[hallow kayak]

RICHARD!?

[static hazel]

I will only learn Japanese to not need subtitles when I watch anime

[dire ingot]

Lmao fair enough but it's a cool language

[wooden pond]

Japanese spoken in anime is wayyyy different than real life Japanese

[dire ingot]

Very pretty compared to other ones imo

[dire ingot]

100% is lmao

[hallow kayak]

i just watch vtubers

[dire ingot]

They know they have to accommodate the lowest common denominator, so it's a decent starting point

[wooden pond]

Fair

If I'd have the money I'd get a motion tracking rig and stream

Time to get a jobbb

[dire ingot]

Best way to pick up on Japanese if you're interested in anime imo is to listen in to the "radios" for your favorite show

[hallow kayak]

how expensive can that even be

[dire ingot]

A lot of people upload the audio with subs on Youtube

[hallow kayak]

tbf ive picked up most stuff from anime as to were i can somewhat understand what vtubers are saying

[unborn furnace]

chinese is impossible to learn and I will NOT be taking counter points

[hallow kayak]

and ive studied a bit myself

[dire ingot]

Also for Japanese jokes and stuff Dogen is absolutely the best way to go

The man is peak comedy for a foreign man in Japan

Also, James May doing a documentary on Japan? Really good!

[hallow kayak]

DOGEN-SAN

[wooden pond]

Just facial recognition + maybe a vr w extra trackers or like a kinect. About 300 to 2k prob

[dire ingot]

Hell yea! Another fan!

[hallow kayak]

[dire ingot]

Some of his jokes are so damn funny lmao

[wooden pond]

You can do it for cheaper I bet

[dire ingot]

Just wish he would upload more often 😢

[hallow kayak]

i mean how is there a 1700 euros difference?

[midnight grove]

中文很簡單

[wooden pond]

Cause vr with extra body trackers is more precise

[dire ingot]

Lmao Chinese ain't that simple

[wooden pond]

and i haven't even include cost of avatar which may be 300 to a few k depending on license and amount of movement

[dire ingot]

If it had a standardized alphabet like other languages it would be easier, but knowing that many kanji is a high asking price

[wooden pond]

Like Korean?

[dire ingot]

Japanese you can cheat a little because you can write in Hiragana and Katakana, but there's zero shortcuts for Chinese

[midnight grove]

中文超級簡單，你所要做的就是使用鍵盤上的翻譯器！

[static hazel]

Man
I wanna get body trackers
I have a VR headset and I play vrchat, but I can't justify being able to kick my feet at people for 700€

[hallow kayak]

i just wanna get a vr headset

[wooden pond]

Haha

[hallow kayak]

😦

[dire ingot]

Lmao I had a feeling there was a joke at play here with how quick you were

[static hazel]

I have an index lol

It's so nice

[wooden pond]

I don't have a vr

I want one maybe

[static hazel]

They're very cool

[midnight grove]

VR games overall are still a bit janky

[hallow kayak]

You could have gone with 23andme

[hallow kayak]

if we're going to do this we're going to do it well

[wooden pond]

But that's alright too

[midnight grove]

I would get a vr for beatsaber, so i can excersize while having fun lol

[hallow kayak]

[static hazel]

Well fun to hang with y'all but I've taken my meds and it's time to go unconscious.
See you tomorrow at 16:00 @Xyzzy#0007

ringfit would do the same for 10times less the price

[wooden pond]

I'm trying to add @static hazel

[cloud lodge]

I see this is going well

[hallow kayak]

oh woaw

[dire ingot]

Friends are apparently hard to make

[hallow kayak]

are you going to cheat on me already?

[wooden pond]

Lmaooo

[real citrus]

Yo who all is kissin' while we fishin'

[wooden pond]

🤣

[real citrus]

[dire ingot]

I'm kissing anyone I see bro, pandemic got me acting up

[hallow kayak]

[wooden pond]

Yeah for me ig

[static hazel]

[hallow kayak]

[real citrus]

@dire ingot yo folded bread got me actin' up. This 'demic

[hallow kayak]

when you just fold

and it just melts away

[real citrus]

[midnight grove]

Love this animation

[wooden pond]

genuine question how do you guys get motivated to clean because it's my least favorite thing to do but im living like a hobo

[midnight grove]

Music

[dire ingot]

That's a good question, I'm a neat freak so I can't really answer that. The despair of looking at a slight mess is enough for me

[midnight grove]

Music helps me clean, motivation hard to say

[real citrus]

@wooden pond First I stand up and then start cleaning.

At least to me over half the battle is physically starting the work

[hallow kayak]

we dont

[real citrus]

Technically I'm working

[hallow kayak]

you work as a cleaner?

[real citrus]

Nah Apple Maps

[hallow kayak]

[wooden pond]

lmao right wish it was that easy but I understand

[jaunty jackal]

Well I hate dirt.. That's all the motivation I need 😆

I see dirt.. I ignore it for a bit because I'm too lazy.. Then I see it again or more and then it irritates me and it must be cleaned :p

[crystal wasp]

@flat lake good point! 🎲

[jaunty jackal]

Also, I live clean, therefore I don't easily make the place dirty

[flat lake]

its much slower here, lol

[real citrus]

technically a cleaner

[dire ingot]

Yeah it's like a smaller, slower general chat lol

[midnight grove]

Just invite people over, and im sure you will start cleaning 😂

[flat lake]

so, from my other friends, shadowrun is the ultimate for sci fi and cyberpunk

[gloomy solar]

[real citrus]

No u

[flat lake]

they have some free pdfs to get started, and I know Roll20 has games to find

[real citrus]

Just play Dark Heresy instead

[midnight grove]

Welcome to general 2.0

[hallow kayak]

even if i invite friends over iknow they wont come anyway cos theyre as bad as i am in those things

so i still wouldnt

[flat lake]

I like GURPS because it pretty much allows for everything from fantasy to hero to sci fi

[real citrus]

I feel that, I help people from themselves lmao

[hallow kayak]

hahahhah ikr

its basically just that

if they do come by im screwed but i believe in my friends

[crystal wasp]

Yeah I've tried Shadowrun 3rd, 4th and 5th but none of them suited my group very well. I've never played GURPS but maybe I'll check out some streams or something

[hallow kayak]

that they wont

[real citrus]

I was like "BRO please don't play Valheim, you'll play for two months and realize no one else is playing from our group after a couple weeks and then get pissed off"

[dire ingot]

This is why I'm lowkey glad I didn't jump on Valheim

Everyone I knew that bought it has already stopped playing basically

[real citrus]

It's Pandemic Hype games, Susus Amogus and that Obstacle Course game, Valheim etc.

[jaunty jackal]

I liked Valheim too! Played it quite some, but became boring playing alone :(

[dire ingot]

Yeah, there were a bunch of games that got attention because of the pandemic

[midnight grove]

Has anyone played wizard101 👀

[flat lake]

Remember that before the internet, and before Amazon, you had to go down to a hole in the wall store and basically take whatever they had in stock

[dire ingot]

Also cause there was a bit of a drought of actual good long term games

[real citrus]

@midnight grove "Are you a boy or are you a girl?"

[crystal wasp]

Yeah there's so much choice now... it's kind of unfathomable

[real citrus]

Toxic advertising

[midnight grove]

Im a guy 😅

[limpid yacht]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeKDvkKP/

Send this to that person

[frozen gazelle]

Oh links are postable now?

[limpid yacht]

Yh

[jaunty jackal]

True that. Then again, when I was younger I just kept playing the same game over again

[real citrus]

@midnight grove Ah I was just making fun of the pop-up advertisements for the game

[frozen gazelle]

Nice, that should make things a little easier lol

[dire ingot]

True enough

[midnight grove]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[limpid yacht]

Yh I had a bunch of vids to show eris lmao

[frozen gazelle]

Lol

[midnight grove]

Loved wiz101 growing up 😂

[dire ingot]

Who's your pfp, they seem super familiar but can't come up with from where

[frozen gazelle]

Meta

or, famous numbers lol

[winged spindle]

🎉

[dire ingot]

Oh.

I see it now

[limpid yacht]

Haha

[dire ingot]

Not really proud of recognizing, but at the same time it's a bit unavoidable

[frozen gazelle]

Hey wait, this isn't the basement anymore, what the heck

[midnight grove]

O.o

[odd mirage]

wrecks up the place

[limpid yacht]

Wait what

[frozen gazelle]

@winged spindle How dare you bring me up from the basement. xD

[frozen gazelle]

#💬│off-topic-chat was called the basement by some people because we were at the bottom of the discord xD

[dire ingot]

Lmao

[limpid yacht]

Ahh

[dire ingot]

This just where all the cool kids come to talk

[frozen gazelle]

Just over streams, but that's a locked channel

[midnight grove]

So we are all being kept in the basement 😯

[frozen gazelle]

Not anymore, the palia meme channel is the basement now

[hallow kayak]

I wish this channel wouldve been called the basement

[balmy swallow]

👀

[frozen gazelle]

xD Basement chat, full of degeneracy

[dire ingot]

Petition to get a channel named "the-basement"?

[hallow kayak]

Yes.

Do it

We need it now

[jaunty jackal]

Yes

[flat lake]

Sorry, got tagged in general and had to help out someone. But, back to D&D

[dire ingot]

Wonder if any staff is watching right now and could make it 👀

[frozen gazelle]

I mean, Eris seems to frequent off topic xD

[jaunty jackal]

Tag them

[dire ingot]

Which Eris does Eris like the most?

[odd mirage]

Off topic is nice because it's quieter >.>

I like general but zipzipzip

[hallow kayak]

A basement eris

[stone pasture]

@snow bough who's your favorite nordic god?

[hallow kayak]

[limpid yacht]

Eris is just eris

[wooden pond]

ok thanks yall inspired me and I put away my clean laundry I had sitting for days ❤️

[flat lake]

Basement would be confusing to non-english-as-a-first-language, and it also has connotations of 'adult content' so probably won't happen here

[snow bough]

You f-

[wooden pond]

reminds me I need to buy summer clothes cause I don't have any

[snow bough]

Ur moma

[dire ingot]

Noice

[wooden pond]

[jaunty jackal]

First step 👍

[limpid yacht]

Shit bro

[wooden pond]

more reasons to get a job

[hallow kayak]

Why would you need summer clothing if youre never going out?

[midnight grove]

Very proud

[dire ingot]

There's always the struggle of putting clean laundry away before doing laundry again

[limpid yacht]

I'm in pre school I can't get a job

😔

[hallow kayak]

Just dont wear any clothing so yoi barely have to wash anything

[wooden pond]

ow ur a literal child

[hallow kayak]

[frozen gazelle]

Excuses xD

[viscid drum]

I have my clean clothes chair. I fold em up, toss them on the chair, wear the work clothes, and then wash it all again on the weekend.

[midnight grove]

Facts

[hallow kayak]

Preschool?

[dire ingot]

Yeah being a nudist is actually helpful to the environment

[midnight grove]

Sell lemonade

[hallow kayak]

How old is that?

[limpid yacht]

Bro I'm in Yr 8

[wooden pond]

[hallow kayak]

Well

[wooden pond]

how old are you?

[limpid yacht]

Compared to everyone I'm a toddler

[hallow kayak]

I dont wanna be that guy....

[winged spindle]

[jaunty jackal]

Hahaha yep! I struggle with that 😆

[limpid yacht]

[dire ingot]

Oooh Eris is here

Eris, who's your favorite Eris

[limpid yacht]

Ture

True

[hallow kayak]

The basement still hangs

[limpid yacht]

Stupid keyboard

[dire ingot]

[limpid yacht]

Uter

[wooden pond]

well you can always pick up programming and profit off your knowledge in a few years

[jaunty jackal]

"I need to wash clothes.. All my clean clothes basket from pervious washings are full and I'm too lazy to put those away. I guess I'm not washing then"

[winged spindle]

Teru

[limpid yacht]

Indeed

[frozen gazelle]

I wouldn't worry about it, this type of game community is wide reaching. Just be careful of who you interact with and you're good

[limpid yacht]

Yh I know

I have the protection of the chuu

[wooden pond]

i honestly don't use baskets I use those canvas shopping bags ahahaha

🤣

[dire ingot]

Yeah that's true, careful who you hang around with. Don't want to get stuck with a bunch of 20 something no lifers like us here

[hallow kayak]

youd think theredb predators here?

[limpid yacht]

I'm the mascot for the royal chu family

[limpid yacht]

Damn

[hallow kayak]

did you have to put it like that....

[frozen gazelle]

Also, holy crap, 16k users online? that's so much more from when I went to sleep earlier xD

[dire ingot]

Maybe not but I thought it was funny lol

[limpid yacht]

Yep it's insane how quick this is growing

[dire ingot]

Yeah it's exploded overnight, very popular which is great to see

[midnight grove]

Im a 20 something no lifer 😔

[limpid yacht]

And it's also insane that my dad is on the discord server lmao

[hallow kayak]

every article went online about this game

[limpid yacht]

Oof I'm a 13 Yr old no lifer

[hallow kayak]

so everyone rapidly joined for a chance for the mmorpg

you cant be 13 and a nolifer

[limpid yacht]

Yup

[hallow kayak]

its basically impossible

[dire ingot]

13 year olds have to have some form of a life lol

Like you got friends and school and stuff yeah?

[frozen gazelle]

Man, the dev team and the investor(s) are probably looking at the discord growth and feeling pretty good about it xD

[hallow kayak]

THEY STILL HAVE CHOICE AND AN ENTIRE LIFETIME OF DECISIONS

[limpid yacht]

True

[dire ingot]

Definitely, but also probably overwhelmed

[hallow kayak]

[limpid yacht]

Calm down shy guy

[hallow kayak]

they hired in the discord moderating staff for that reason

[hallow kayak]

wwoooowaaaaaoooo

[frozen gazelle]

@dire ingot Yea, potentially, but that can also turn into more motivation with the right mindset

[dire ingot]

Also very true

I'd believe they've got the resources to handle the explosion in popularity, will just take a bit to catch up

[hallow kayak]

they game is already setting off for a close alpha with this much support theyre going to finish it quickly

just imagine if this game is going to flop

[dire ingot]

Lmao

That's one way to think about it

[odd mirage]

Can just wait and see

[frozen gazelle]

God, that would be devastating for the future of MMO's

[hallow kayak]

thats the only thing we can do

if this game isnt going to do well i fear the amazon's mmorpg aswell

[odd mirage]

MMOs are already a notoriously difficult market, but I like the lane this game is in, because it's not a lane with a lot of ocmpetition

[dire ingot]

Didn't amazon's already get canned?

[midnight grove]

Even if the game flops we still have the community and friends we made along the way!

[hallow kayak]

i thought that was only the LOTRO remake?

[frozen gazelle]

Amazon's MMO is getting flak for their monetization model early on

[odd mirage]

It's hard to stand out when everyone is being the same game and cannibalizing each other for players, as the overall player base gradually dwindles to other games

[dire ingot]

Might have been, can't remember too well

[hallow kayak]

hardly any mmorpgs came out lately

[limpid yacht]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeKywhsw/

[dire ingot]

Was interested in Amazon's MMO but haven't paid attention to it lately

[limpid yacht]

Umm

[odd mirage]

There was a big rush for a bit after everyone wanted to emulate WoW

[hallow kayak]

its been pushed back for a while

[odd mirage]

and thought it was just an easy cash cow moo

[limpid yacht]

Tw disturbing shit

[frozen gazelle]

@odd mirage Yea, unfortunately. That's why I think this will do well though, since it's very much outside of the norm for MMO's

[odd mirage]

Yeah. It caters all in on casual, and to a gamer base that isn't really already playing MMOs which is a great market to target IMO

[hallow kayak]

its going to get released on 31st of august @dire ingot

[chrome echo]

um

[frozen gazelle]

Considering how big the casual gaming market is, yea

[dire ingot]

Oh damn, guess I'll have to pay a bit more attention lol

[odd mirage]

There's a lot of MMO players who kind of just hop between the big ones as they patch/expansion

[hallow kayak]

ahahhaha

you really should

new world is going to be something

[midnight grove]

Yes?

[dire ingot]

Yeah it seemed really interesting

That and Ashes of Creation or whatever

[hallow kayak]

i played a bit of the beta

during that time it was really lacking

i hope theyve changed the things which were addressed during the beta

[odd mirage]

Part of why the Wii was so popular when it came out was kind of a curve ball. They thought they'd modernize gaming and people would rush for a more interactive system, and gamers by and large didn't like the wii. But non-gamers thought the wii was fantastic and they made huge inroads there

[hallow kayak]

i liked the wii

the controls were clunky af

[dire ingot]

Wii was a fun console growing up

[odd mirage]

so I like the "We're not going to take the MMO market" and more the "We're just going to make a game and use things learned from MMOs and other games and see where we go"

[dire ingot]

Gamecube was still the OG though

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, that's something that's really great about Nintendo. They aren't ever afraid to try innovating something

[hallow kayak]

gamecube was the shit

nintendo has enough money to not care about shit

[frozen gazelle]

Oh, we can swear now too? xD

[dire ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/hulk-hogan-nodding-nod-yes-yup-gif-13973219

[real citrus]

I love how this game is catering to the Millennial fantasy of true home ownership 🙂

[odd mirage]

Nintendo is very big into innovation, they feel it's part of their legacy

[hallow kayak]

nintendo really cant do anything bad anymore

[midnight grove]

Gamecube 😍

[frozen gazelle]

Sadly enough, I was on track to do that, before I got injured :'3

[neat trench]

I have been raised by nintendo, the only non Nintendo console I had was a ps2

[hallow kayak]

theyve got so much support theyre pretty much a monopoly at this point

injured?

[limpid yacht]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeKy4Qo6/

Nooo

[real citrus]

How about no more Nintendo and more Nintencake

[dire ingot]

Yeah didn't you hear? They got shot in the knee

[frozen gazelle]

Nintendo? I mean, they mostly cater to a casual market, so there isn't much competition aside from mobile gaming, in that regard

[odd mirage]

Nintendo has done and does do bad things, but they take swing and when they swing out, it doesn't really matter since it's offset by other things they have going on

[limpid yacht]

@winged spindle

This is sad

[odd mirage]

So they might miss on a big console release, but then handhelds is blowing up

[neat trench]

smash ultimate fan here suffering from garbage netcode ;-;

[odd mirage]

or have a global pandemic right at the time when New Horizons was releasing

[frozen gazelle]

Hurt my back, can't stand/walk for longer than a few minutes at a time without a lot of pain

[dire ingot]

Lmao Nintendo's network stuff is awful

[winged spindle]

oh nooo

[limpid yacht]

How did you do that

[winged spindle]

oh noooooo

[hallow kayak]

ohh im sorry to hear that hope youre going to feel better soon 😦

[midnight grove]

Excuses

[limpid yacht]

The way it crawls at the ground as well

[neat trench]

nah the netcode for nintendo games is atrocious

[limpid yacht]

😢

[frozen gazelle]

The netcode should get better, MHR introduced new netcode that's supposedly going to be worked into their other online stuff

[wooden pond]

Anyway I'm off to bed have a good night everyone :)

[hallow kayak]

ive never suffered that much from horrible netcode

[frail badge]

[midnight grove]

How do you deal with your situation on a daily basis?

[frozen gazelle]

I fell out of a ceiling at work and folded backwards in half :'3 Lucky that I didn't get paralyzed

[hallow kayak]

nightnight

[dire ingot]

See ya Rana!

[dire ingot]

Oh damn, that's one hell of an injury

[unborn furnace]

this is why i love housing customisation in games, cause i know ill probably never own a house of my own, let alone one i like

[limpid yacht]

How tf did you fall through a ceiling. Glad your okay tho

[hallow kayak]

oef big yikes

[midnight grove]

Gn rana!

[dire ingot]

Don't have any stories like that, just have some stupid ones from me and my family

[frozen gazelle]

I mean, I'm mostly in bed every day, so I'm the embodiment of a NEET xD

[hallow kayak]

F in the chat

[dire ingot]

Not by choice though

[frozen gazelle]

but it's alright

[real citrus]

Neat 🙂

[dire ingot]

There's a bit of a difference, you're enjoying the NEET lifestyle without being an actual one

[midnight grove]

Bed ❤

[frozen gazelle]

Well, it'll be alright once I can get on disability :'3

[dire ingot]

You live in the states?

[real citrus]

I mean, ever since the Fire Covid attacked, I've been NEET

[frozen gazelle]

fighting with the government for 4 years now about it, but because I have a space in my name, they're all whacked about it

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, I do

[hallow kayak]

why do you have a space then

[real citrus]

@frozen gazelleYO same tho

[dire ingot]

I figured, just keep fighting! They'll give up at some point and give you what you deserve

[frozen gazelle]

I'm getting it changed in a couple weeks so I don't have one anymore xD

[midnight grove]

Feel bad forcountries that dont have free healthcare

[dire ingot]

It sucks that you have to in the first place but can't change much about that sadly

[hallow kayak]

that still doesnt explain the space

man i tried to get my birthday changed

but apparently thats illegal

[midnight grove]

Lol

[neat trench]

we take free healthcare for granted

and it should be the norm

[frozen gazelle]

Government websites don't allow you to enter your name using non-alphanumeric characters

[neat trench]

idk how the US hasn't caught up

[hallow kayak]

wait so people with dashes cant use a dash?

[frozen gazelle]

Yea, in some cases

[dire ingot]

To put it bluntly, Capitalism

[hallow kayak]

how does that system even survive...??

[frozen gazelle]

Most names aren't like that, and it's an old system that hasn't been updated in decades

[midnight grove]

How can you even type your full name without spaces

[hallow kayak]

different space to fill in your name

obviously

[frozen gazelle]

It's sectioned off for First and Last name

So instead of Full Name: Kalucion Miatsume; it's First Name: Kalucion; Last Name: Miatsume

[neat trench]

is it a regional thing or is it a standard system for the entire country?

[frozen gazelle]

Standard

[real citrus]

Sounds regional to me, from being in the States

[hallow kayak]

the usa truly is a shit hole

[unborn furnace]

wait so what are you meant to do if your name has a dash

[frozen gazelle]

I think for a dash, at least at a federal level, it might be different

[midnight grove]

Elon Musk's kid is crying now

[neat trench]

die i guess :/

[frozen gazelle]

but for a space, it isn't

[dire ingot]

It is, but this is also the fault of an aging tech infrastructure in the states

Like have you every heard of Cobol?

[unborn furnace]

guess ill die :/

[hallow kayak]

in a vague history

somewhere

yea

[dire ingot]

Yeah

These dinosaur languages that people were too afraid to touch prop up a lot of infrastructure on stuff

[frozen gazelle]

In CA, my first name ends up getting split, so the second part of it is added to my middle name

[dire ingot]

It's because of that things like this still stick around

[real citrus]

idk I have a french last name with a space and haven't had an issue.

[hallow kayak]

its like the same for your tvs isnt it?

[real citrus]

also in CA

[frozen gazelle]

and whenever there's anything that both fed and state level has to interact with me, it gets whacked

[hallow kayak]

like how you people have 29,97fps on your tvs?

[dire ingot]

Too cheap to update, and too few people versed well enough to fix code

[neat trench]

have you tried seeking medical attention outside of the US?

[frozen gazelle]

Because on my paperwork, my name has a space in it in the federal system, but I just can't put in my name with a space on any of their websites for whatever reason

[real citrus]

I mean, usually they use different forms of ID to confirm identity.

[hallow kayak]

isnt throwing over the entire system and building a new one way more cost efficient than having to deal with this problem for about 300million americans?

[frozen gazelle]

So, luckily enough, being in CA, since all my documents are messed up the same way regarding my name, it doesn't cause that much issue. And CA has programs for health insurance that are unpaid

[midnight grove]

Have you tried calling them about it?

[dire ingot]

You'd think

[hallow kayak]

thank god for the european union

[frozen gazelle]
