i hope rin is sleeping
Speaking from personal experience 5 or 6 am is around the hard limit where you just kinda pass out without caffeine or something else to keep you up
oh true, it's so interesting, for me: i'm really hot 😏 people take off their gloves in winter to hold hands with me. but around 5/6 am i start shivering and get cold
My body temp runs hot basically 24/7 😉
This is problematic considering I live in a desert
my condolences 🤝
my body is the same way dude, i feel your pain
I feel bad for wanting to know everything about stuff I'm passionate about.
omg, i want to die, that workout almost killed me .. i am in so much pain now and sooo tired and i had to bike back for work ... i just want to be home ... :cries::
When i got sorted in Harry Potter i got Hufflepuff
unlucky ;)
you didn't to have to tell us shrew, we all knew
hey i am hufflepuff too!
you workout to?
Yeah! My boyfriend started a month ago.
And i
I also ride my bike 3 miles everyday on top of the workout at the gym.
oh nice! i workout too! its fun but i kinda wana stop lol
ive been workingout for like 8 years
Ahh fun fun
Ah, Cilantro, one of the lesser-known Spice Girls.
The other half is a athlete he is a long distance runner
And a health nut
And a month ago he wanted to work out together soooo I agreed against my will and here we are lol
well thats good because health is a big thing honestly
sorry guys, this is off topic too and i don't wanna delay posting it 🙏 🙇♀️ @sleek skiff
Weight goal is 165-170. I am tall for a girl and don't have a small frame
oh nice! yeah im at like 185lbs to 190lbs but i go back and forth
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh God it's screaming
Lol
goals are really important to have when workingout so thats an awesome goal
i love this @storm stratus 🥺
My calves and ass are in so much pain today. Today was leg day. God help me.
I am at work right now and I sit at a desk and I just wanna get up and walk
hehe panda goblin was tooo good, i dropped everything (ù w ú)
dont push yourself to hard, workingout is recovery and work, both are equally important
Yeah. My bf and I work at the same place different departments and he came by and I told him where it all hurts so he is gonna help me stretch my legs to help tonight
So hopefully this evening I am feeling better
okay stretching is a big thing aswell
Yea
your bf got a good mentality, nice
Sitting at this desk sucks. The rest of the library is gone like anemic advisors and other dpt left for the evening but noooooo the circulation desk stays open til 6pm
He does!!
btw, could literally anyone share this? i kinda want to see if we can make it real lol

The advantages of working in library's
yasssss
Finding really good health books and cookbooks lol
boookssss
cookbooks are fun lol
im a chef
We have a nursing program at this school so lots of good stuffs in here

Awesome.

like national Godspeed Day or national something about redheads day
still awesome

90s here
I am 7.5k above sea lvl
I am in the damn Rockies
So 90s is so messed up lol
Southern Colorado should not be this hot already lol
lol i get that
its ridiculous...
@whole plumehave you thought maybe your the reason colorado is hot?
lol
Fall classes start aug 24th and I am taking 18 credits all on campus walking and biking all day is gonna kill me eith this heat
sorry wanted to use that one
@wicked garnet AH! I knew I recognized your avi! That's Grotti! https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/559834974484693122/598286428258172929/5ca9a721a049c073e152b5c3c29f21da.png
what ya studying?
oh nice!
And then I got sick and can't stay up with the demand of a kitchen
So I decided to go back to school for a new field
cook and anthropologist?
Yeah lol
well if you get busy for a few days youll be fine lol
Now I am just sitting at my desk jamming to senses fail. I am almost done for the day
Yeah I love that art!! Their goblins are so adorable! 
oh it could be worse lol i could add to it
.....
Yeah, it turns out I had posted that pic in the discord I got my food pic from xD
lol nice
also, check this out! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EP3k5CuW4AQILti?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
just found it
No way!! Small world haha, the art is really well done!
OMG I LOVE HER
goblin lover i take it?
We have goblin in our names lol
Love that space goblin so much!! And yes haha, big time goblin enthusiast, I play them in any game I can
RIP City of Steam goblins
dont watch goblin slayer then... oof
yeah its dark
I jokingly refer to it as anti-goblin propaganda haha
i couldnt take it
Honestly it's really positive for goblins, treats us as cunning and devious, which we are :3 and accurately shows we're community-focused
Most works aren't as blatant about those things
I watched the anime, haven't gotten to read the Manga yet
The writing of that series is really good
thankfully tho, if ever we need to balance it, there's Re:Monster or Level 100 Goblin :3
well that is true which im blatant aswell so i get that, it was to much for my heart to handle
I haven't played it yet tho it's been in my library for forever, I have yet to get a gaming PC for it
I had a PC in the past could play games like that, but then the battery messed up ):
the laptops I have now get hot too fast
im a huge wimp when it comes to things that pull my heart stings. the wrong way or the right way
Nooo
sorry to hear about your PC
I was really into bittersweet stuff when I was younger so that steeled me, MV
thanks 🙂
i am a hearty guy punkin lol
I'm hoping Palia will be fine on my laptop
makes sense rez
my laptop can do a lot, it's just the cooling it's not good at is all
hi
Palia seems like it will run well on all systems hopefully, I am still hoping to at least have the ability to be short haha
my artist for my game is messeging me brb
I don't need to be super short, I sometimes RP being half-drow or something, but still, over 5 feet is a nono every time
(my char usually has mocha skin)
i tend to be like i am irl
My only pet peeve for size is when games think goblins are as short as gnomes. We're at least as tall as dwarves.
lolol
And hobgoblins are taller and sometimes can be as tall as humans (only sometimes)
you were a dm ?
im like kirito from sao because i tend to live in my games
Also everyone gets hobgoblin evolution wrong. We don't become orcs or ogres. We become bugbears if evolution is a thing. Orc and ogre evolutions are possible but "special" evolutions depending on the work. Bugbears are natural goblinoids.
lmao
everyone laughs at me but its true honestly
i like playing mil sim games because i can run and jump like i used to
i injured my back so cant really run or jump
never thought i would be jealous of watching someone jump irl
yeah
when i have the ability
if you dont mind me asking
it kinda went off the deep end after that
but now i got a beast so i play new stuff
i played runescape and that was my last one
i havent played anything mmo wise for like 10 years
ff?
yeah i would of died at my desk
that bad huh?
i was hr 160 or something stupid on mh tri
thats insane
not mentiong ark
lol
lol spelling
meh its all good
i played the official server took 24 hrs to tame 1 dino
oh wow
was one of the big bastards but still thats so stupid
i play a bit but not like its life
i had like 5k hours in runescape before i left
how old are you?
25
yeah i played rs from 14 to 16 but i kinda lostt touch with mmos
i fell for a girl on rs and got my heart broken and yeah long story short no closure
didnt pick em up after
yeah i hear ya bro
lmao dont trust girls that play
nah bro
we play games and feelings
not to fall for a girl in rs
even though i loved it
your bad for what-
i was 16 soooooooooooooo
i still am 🙃
i thought you were a dude ragging on girl gamers
so my bad
not like i coulda done anything
no you cant see into the future
you cant? weird
i astral travel but same timeline
lol you love to play with peoples words dont you?@mellow vapor
possibly.
so you sell flowers or beans?
flowers
or is it just a front?
my nickname is bean/beans/beanie

so what did you play bean?
like games?
mmo wise
does smash bros have an mmo?
sea of theives as well
they have the tournaments
i dont think genshin really counts
touche
i mostly play single player things tbh
genshin is more arpg
or ones that have optional co-op
nice so your spreading your gamer fingers to try other stuff
better then i could do lol
but animal crossing, harvest moon, stardew valley, legend of zelda, smash bros, sea of thieves, mario kart lol
genshin is big mobile gacha
yeahh but its fun
yeah i noticed
do you play?
i played genshin for a bit
i stopped cause mihoyo making bad choices and because i more or less like one char to rule them all
not 4
im okay with leveling char to use them but they are kinda lacking as far as things go alone but in a team theyre OP
when did you stop? cause theres some characters that are really good on thier own
like hu tao, xiao, ganyu
childe too
uhhhh like right before childe
my internet sucks to so coop kinda sucks for me
i love coop
working together to kill stuff is awesome!
if only my internet didnt suck balls
ah rip
ikr?
now im mobile gaming like mad lol
turn based strat is perfect for me
so is idle every now and then

military or fantasy ?
fantasy
nah a gun user

I am better now
ok good ^^ you know people would like to watch sometimes, jkjk
oof to far
Good Morning. 😴
Its fine ite just try to keep it clean lol
sorry hun >.< and no im not trying anything
🥱
just how people greet a friend in the south
.. By watching them bathe...?
nonono
Well oukidouki. I'm not the right person to judge, Finnish Sauna culture is something wild too. 🤷♀️
saying hun is more of a friendly term, in the south alot of people say hun
Hun reminds me when I go to the Waffle House
its a friendly greeting unless you go like hon or honey
Isn't it a term that elderly friendly aunts use? 😂😂
hon or honey approach dating level
Or so it seems in books ect.
👌 This chat might be a good place for this kind of info when I start to write again. 🤔
ive ran into alot of southerners
sup boss
Yeah I try. I'm not a native English speaker so it's a slow prosess.
It's fun thou. And gets more easy now that I'm here and use English daily.
HM?
you know what it means to wear your heart on your sleeve?
To be too sensitive? Like that you get Hurt too easy
yeah basically
to sum it up
it kinda means also that youre "easy" to get but that doesnt mean youre "easy" to persuade
Just testing out my English or is there deeper meaning? 😂
i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, always have
dont wear your heart that way
more often then not you end up being hurt by little things
when the big things come your way itll hurt you way more then it should
It's totally fine to be sensitive. I'm an over thinking person with anxiety. So I kinda get it.
be careful what ya ask for, you might just get it
go get it lol
Working on it.
Oh what a bliss. ☕☕☕
Aaand kids are fighting again. Maybe I should take this cup to veranda. 😅
Just ask.
are you married?
Yeah for allmost 10 years allready.
I'm the odd aunty that has no needs to be shy. 🤷♀️
lol youre straight forward
Yeah maybe even too much in person. So I find it odd when people try to keep over polite.
i get that
i have those moments lol
im just more blunt
lol
so when im straight forward run lol
Nah No need. I'll just tell you to fuck off if it's needed. 🤔
Not much of a stand up comedian. I tell most of my jokes sitting down. A sit-down comedian
lol im not even a comedian
I am back. What is up
i like you already xD
I was just trying to lighten the conversation a little
😘
Hi hi.
So Dad jokes it is.
ill call wee and punkin hun since its fun lol
Well I'm a real treat allright.
Yes I make many dry jokes when I'm out in the summer time
I'm what now?
Got any jokes about cats and trampolins?
Somewhat delicious, but bad for health in too large amounts. 😂
lol xD
Well I knew a person who had a phobia of trampolines. Everytime they saw one it made them jump.
My cat seems more fun. But it's not a joke.
what did the egg say to the boiling water?
i cant get hard i just got laid
lol welcome
?
you dont get it?
No I guess I dont 
Well attleast the egg got it. 🤷♀️
lol wheres a egg come from?
🐔
Umm hard question most reptiles, fish and birds
🐓
whats past tense of lay
Layed or laid in traditional context
whats a woman and a man do in bed when they love eachother very much
Cuddle

Sexed?

Morning
Music from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity (Nintendo 3DS)
Also known as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth (ポケモン不思議のダンジョン マグナゲートと∞迷宮) in Japan.
Music was composed and arranged by Ryoma Nakamura, Keisuke Ito and Yasuhiro Kawagoe.
Ragged Mountain
Bumpy Mountain (でこぼこ山)
Information about game:
Genre: Roguelik...
Sad. Not much imagination going on in that bed.
chicken laid an egg
Morning music uwu
🤔
dw shrew you are not missing much lol
HEeyyyy. How are you?
Thanks for the music though
wee just tell him ffs
Oh No. I'll just make this even more complicated for you to handle.
They were explaining a joke I didnt understand
Seems like we have a new fiend!
Huh?
chicken lays a egg but a man and woman got laid=egg got laid
get it?
not helping!
this is like watching a camel trying to pass through a needle's eye
And the point really is that fresh eggs are tricky to boil hard. They like to stay half cooked.
right?!
see, that helped
Even i get it <w<
I'd like to try scotch eggs
no duh lol
Clever boi.

6/21/2021 Brian: HAPPY NATIONAL SOMETHING ABOUT REDHEADS DAY!!!!!
Blow it up on twitter, facebook, streams, youtube comments, i wana see if it can happen lol

Nah it's ok. I'm super maried and old.
standards, i like it well said
jjust warning lol it does happen
idk how
it just does
🤷♀️ A tiny bit of friendly flirting keeps you going.
ugh maybe i should try to write for a while
brb
what genre?
ughhhh lets say werewolf related for now.
yes those are important
oh I failed lmao gotta take it again
Oh rip. Gl next time
lmao yup
What part did you have issues with?
I'm surprised they are allowing driving tests. I am still waiting until restrictions are lifted
I guess if you're in NZ or taiwan or something like that, it's all good tho
Everything is pretty much open here 
I'm gonna get vaccinated on 29th day.
nice hope it goes well
I just hope that most things go back to normal during this year.. I'd like to study normally.
yeah I feel bad for the students and teachers. they got stuck between a rock and a hard place
and most places are still charging full tuition for the modified curriculum. basically a scam lol
yeah my sister is a teacher and it's been so hard..
well i took the test in an area i wasnt familiar with like at all
and the lines were all faded there
so i mistook the middle passing lane for the lane divider
oh damn. bad luck.
and instead of making my keft turn from there i did it from the straight on lane and that was instant disqualification
because for some reason, thats super dangerous i guess?? its really not
but annoyingly now i have to wait 2 weeks to retake it
which is at a different center this time,
depends how the road is set up, but that's unfortunate that road markings were not clear
but i start a small gig that same day, so i h av e to pass it then which means im gonna get familiar with everything around there for the next 2 weeks
yeah - i was driving around there for a little before i started and i literally said to my dad "the road markings are really faded"
well if there was a car on your left you would have crashed,
I do think though that driving tests are kind of useless. licenses are being given out like candies
this is true, except for the fact that I checked everywhere around me and slowed down to make sure i didnt hit anything
they need to re-test elderly people more often
cause idk if you can imagine this but it genuinely looked like the side i was on had one lane, and the other side had 2 lanes
the lines were that faded that i thought it was the center divider
but what can ya do
ill probably never do that ever again because of this at least
yeah that's really bad luck.
luckily i know the area im tkaing the next test in is downtown in my city, so im used to it more, and its fairly like, well-kept i guess?
city council is down there so they spend a lot of money
so the marking will be visible
this
time
i hope
and hopefully an area where there is those upwards signs too
what ever they are called in english
Finnish
what is it? i can always translate it
i should also mention that the place that does the drivers test here are super super weird about multiple things - like my friend took the test can got points off for something that isnt in the drivers handbook or in any laws
ohhhhhh yeah
i hope there are those
i think we call them signposts?
its johto-opaste in finnish. So there is no straight translate. 😫
yeah I don't think they have a particular name, something like overhead lane signs lol
but those definitely help, and you usually see those before a traffic light/intersection
so there werent much of anything really
oh it wasnt even in one of those
do you know when youre in like a more residential area, and there are those lanes in the middle that are yellow lined, the outside is a solid yellow and the inside line is a dashed yellow? and you go into those to turn
yes and that lane is usually like a shared one for turning only
yeah , thats the one
now imagine the yellow lines are so faded that it looks like the normal yellow dashed line that separates the 2 sides of the road
rip
Ok so.. I have a huge writers block going on and I need help.
Is there anyone here who is familiar with werewolf genre?
Glad Palia is inclusive.
I'm not familiar with the genre but I am a furry
Is that helpful
Also are the werewolves hot that's important
👀
sorry i cant actually help
duh totally hot werewolves. Maybe. IDK.
I meant more in terms of race/ethnicity too
😂😂
its winter down in the southern hemisphere
Anyone got a "get rich quick" scheme for $3000. Totally didn't find a car I fell in love with and am $3000 short 
sometimes babysitting pays a lot
or you might find studies near you that pay
but do werewolves sweat
nope! theyre like dogs and cats who cant sweat, thats why they pant tho
the panting increases the amount of oxygen that they get in their system, and eventually cools them down
good thing to note tho is that the ears are a pretty good tell of how their temperature is, and if theyre really hot, their ears will be too
^ its also one of the easier ways to cool them down, by gently putting cold water ont he ears
adding some hot ears to the story - all done. hot werewolf.
Hmm.. I just sell mtg cards 😆
Thats wacky. Do you just buy packs and sell the cards you get? Wouldn't that be gambling?
Nah. I have a lot of old cards that exploded in price.
And I don't play much anymore. I sold some cards to pay off the 6k I owed on my car still 
Oh so its finite
Haha, yeah it is.
I don't have anything collected 
Rip. I'm not sure how to get 3k fast 🥺
Me either man, that's why I had to ask the public. Maybe one of them have words of wisdom
cute goat
Hejo fellas
ughhh so hottttt
But I really did write for a while. Yay.
if anyone wants something comfy to watch, I recently binged what's there of Way of the Househusband on Netflix
it's about an ex-yakuza member who's now an extremely dedicated househusband
idk why i felt the need to recommend it but it made me happy
It's a nice manga too
Oh I think I saw that, is that the live-action?
No, it's basically just a colored and voiceacted version of the manga
the actual animation is pretty minimal but i think that makes it funnier. not hard to tell whats going on either
Oh okay I'll check that out

Sad that we have no drama cats
are they all silly forever kittens?
hey good morning everyone, hope your day goes well!
Nah they just are the easy going type.
Thou one of them likes to go jumping on the trampolin
awww
Ugh. Why am I awake.
to check your mail to see if you've got an alpha key in there 😉
Are they allready a thing that happen?
don't think so
I guess they will announce that right?
Maybe. 🤷♀️
they will most definitely announce it! once they start sending them out if i remember correctly
They really have to announce it since there wasn't an email confirmation upon signup. If they don't announce it upon sending the keys out, then that's a potential security issue allowing spammers to send phishing emails out every now and then
Im awake! Crap lol
good morning
getting my vaccine shot tomorrow, hope I will live to see Palia release xD
Nice! I'm getting my second shot tonight ❤️
Cool...!
Gonna melt of. Byeeeee cruel world.
Lol
I don't think the vaccines have been rolled out to where I am yet. There's not a lot of demand, since we're one of the few covid-free places...
New Zealand?
good morning, quack!
Honk
Western Australia, actually
A quack? Me? I'll have you know I found that medical license fair and square.
Just recovering from my second shot this weekend. :D excited I can be a little more free about wearing PPE outside lol
Only downside is it's baking outside right now here in Washington state
@unique spear asked for dad jokes so... Just wanted to let you all know that living in Switzerland has a lot of advantages. For one, the flag is a big plus.
Guys, guess who I saw yesterday? Everyone I looked at. Every single on of em.
my dad once sat us down and wanted us to think of jokes. we were really little still. at the end of the day what i came up with was "why do giraffes have such long necks?"
"so it can fit all those spots on its fur." 🤏 😎
lol nice
i dont understand the last one am i being dumb (probably)
because if the giraffe has short neck, all its spots will be just dots LOL
oh fiadudfuhasdhuiashiud
tfw a duck explains a dad joke
What an wonderfull day.
I am trying to convince myself to do some actual work
I have 8 Jiras on me.... feelsbadman
Ach the Finnish wordbook took over once again.
yeah... kinda wanna play games 😄
You mean ditch your family?
No diss probably
basically, this article made me question if Gen 5 would be worth a watch
im part of the other 50% in the comment section
yall i love emi evans and yoko taro so much
Yoko Taro is the composer and Emi Evans is the vocalist for NieR and NieR: Automata
and NieR Replicant Ver.1.22 which is a remaster of the original NieR
aaah, never playwd nier
its one of those Depression Games
Yeah, when you hear the words "diversity and inclusion" that's normally corporate speak for "ethnic/politics appropriation with terrible writing". But so far all actual material has suggested it's not that, so we'll see. 🙂
I just really wanted them to make more EQG stuff ):
If companies really wanted to have diversity in shows, they'd bring Juniper Lee back q.q
Or W.I.T.C.H., my fav magical girls show.
@carmine valve tbh, it is THAT, but ive been thinking about what the plot would look like. because the world already has pretty inclusive ideals like being able to marry same sex and changelings are probably a good representstion of being transgender, though id rather not assume. but the fact that its "make the world a better place for ponies" sounda SUPER supremacist to me
like griffons are already financially broke
changelings are vassals to equestria, same for the crystal empirs
what more "activism" does equestria really need?
well, yeah, but what they ended up doing was just destroying Twilight's progress so everyone's divided again, and the show is bringing everyone together... same plot as Gen 4 basically, except Gen 5 starts out with everyone being more divided
thats incredibly stupid
yeah, kinda, but the way they've presented it in the teasers so far isn't bad
i just hope they actually pull it off
i dont like the idea of division for the sake of division, as long as there is a clear reason for it. ill be on board
Supposedly Equestria losing its magic either contributed to it, or resulted from it, we don't know, but the lack of magic made it worse.
makes sense
and that means everyone's magic. so supposedly pegasi can still fly and walk on clouds?, but not control the weather I think
and earth ponies don't have their connection with earth, i'm assuming
no idea how this would affect changelings
lets talk again once im home, missed my bus and walking atm 
oh! well, be safe and have a nice walk! ^-^
These workouts are gonna kill me.
Not if you kill 'em first.
And it looks like you're killing it.
that pickup line would work on me ngl
Lol
hello! hoping that everybody is having an alright afternoon :) 
Hi friend, hope you're doing well as well
for @lost trout and @blissful pivot , as well as anyone else who wants it: this is my Scribblehub profile, where I upload my works.
A friend showed me the site for its author-friendly UI in managing releases of chapters.
Noted :D
you can put a chapter on hold as long as you like and then schedule a release at a specific date and time.
I primarily write trans-MC-centric fiction
Looks better than ao3, may switch to here
but I hope to branch out one day
personally I think my first story, Frogtastic Fridays, was a bit of a mess, but...
60 dedicated "ping me for new chapters" readers,
6000 views,
apparently people liked it?
I just did my best to not get too lost in my own head while writing it lol...
struggled towards the end.
kinda off topic but do you prefer the pronouns you listed there over xe/xem?
aye aye
no, I need to update that, but thank you for asking
I'll fix that
I used shi/hir for a period of about six months while still entering into whether or not I felt "nonbinary enough"
This happens to me rather often, if it's not perfect I always feel like people won't like it but it's actually not the case
Keep creating friend!
I felt like, if I used pronouns that you can argue are pronounced the same as she/her
people won't mind that I use neopronouns
and then I started drifting towards wanting something more....me.
I'm still debating if i like first person or third person
and I realized I was being silly.
that feeling I know well
I enjoy the first person perspective a whole lot
I'm struggling to maintain staying outside of Jay's head for A Case of the Mondays
and to stay present-tense as well
I keep wanting to go inside
and explain more
but it's easier as an author if I can explain other characters' expressions and sometimes thoughts too.
especially things hte MC can't see.
so strict first-person view isn't always good for my style lol
My tense use is a whole mess, especially when you're writing about dreams/flashbacks with introspection
uuugh yeah
I have a friend who just has her immersion broken easily
so I'm struggling to keep Mondays readable for her.
she's one of the people who got me back into writing
so I care about keeping my stories available to her.
That's sweet of you, I'll definitely check out that website though. It seems great for new writers
owo there do be a plush apparently too for this concoction, just a weird and wonky thing to come across but fun idea
@limpid yacht because, i'd rather have everything on one launcher/ store than to go to another store just to play a few games that i have on that store's library
its like the netflix, hulu, amazon thing
Not everything is that serious, there are more things to worry in life than having to open a second store to play a game
its a pain to have all of these accounts just to watch one show from each of them
It's the mentality of the PC crowd, we don't do exclusives unless the store is by the people that actually developed the game. Ubisoft, EA, etc we tolerate. EGS we do not.
Then there was the thing with Fortnite and Apple, too.
Fortnite stealing things from content creators without acknowledging them, like the bone dance.
Just various stuff really.
i have netflix, amazon, disney plus, binge, stan……
Cast you're really paying for all of those? You must be rich ffs
^^^
im one of the people that like the idea of a CENTRAL library to watch all of what those services provide
idk pay for cable to get hundreds of channels for cheaper than what you're paying for like, what, 6?
^ this
I only suffer Netflix at this point
But each platform has different exclusives for their shows
yeah and that's a problem
i do t see that as a proble. at all
i thoroughly enjoy it
you want to watch a show thats only available in europe, but you live in america
imagine not having animelab and having all anime on netflix it@would be a mess
do you
with common sense
want to travel to europe, just to watch one show?
mind you, this is an extreme exageration
On my smart TV everything is already right next to each other so it’s all there for me
but would you travel to another CONTINENT just to watch an exclusive show that is not currently airing in your side of the world
Right now consumers are in a fight against exclusivity contracts. So when there's an industry that essentially does not have exclusives beyond things actually created/developed by the studio that owns that store, and then some wannabe (EGS) comes in and wants to start exclusivity for literally everything, that's a no-no.
The whole TV ezclusive thing, it’s very cheap @ $10/ month
per channel
i pay $60 max a month for a range of stuff
times that per service
and your library is limited by your country
a lot of people cant afford that
and i’m a casual bartender i make $40 an hour
i think america wage is the problem here
we have a minimum wage of like $21 to begin with for someone fresh out of school
youre looking at the problem the wrong way
but even with exclusivity that’s why it sounds weird
you're payinf $60 for 6 channels, that don't even give you all of their shows, when you could pay $60 for 600 channels of cable, that don't even give you all of their shows. tell me when this is starting to dawn on you.
@carmine valve lets not change the subject to money
it's greed
lets stick with WHY exclusivity is a problem
i swear everyone and their mum has all their stuff here
because cast doesnt seem to get it
and you have to realize that exclusivity is also one of the reasons people moved away from consoles
i mean if i ran my own company with my own studio i’d make my shows and art exclusive too
Cast that's not the problem here
exclusivity is anti-consumer
EGS is making exclusivity contracts for games it did NOT develop
But how are they getting those contracts in the first place
but dumping a load of money at the studios that produce said games
^ this
well there we go
money runs the world
studios accept the money and epic games make it ezclusive cus they paid for it
youre looking at it at a different angle than us
yeah i’m a raging capitalist
it also made games it said would not be exclusive, got steam pages for them with videos and everything, then made the games exclusive to EGS. They essentially used Steam for publicity but didn't publish on it.
exclusivity in and of it self is anti-consumer
^ this
yknow what studios should do? make sure that their products go to a wider range of audience
I support consumerism, not capitalism
how do you get said products to as much consumers as possible?
send it to as many publishers or stores as possible
I have no problem with capitalism as long as it runs on consumerism
but why should it go to everyone
exclusivity restricts CONSUMER access to said products
^ this
because people want to buy product
which actually also hurts sales
if people dont know that it exists
which means it hurts capital
how can people buy said product?
hm i see
Exclusivity contracts are "out the door" money makers. In the long run the company makes less money due to it, but they get early sponsorship to sell it in the first place.
EGS is restricting people from PURCHASING something that they would gladly buy from STEAM or GOG or whatever platform they are using, XBOX store or PS store, because they want to keep it for themselves
^ this
if steam was to shut down
like sure, money runs the world and EGS and studio are happy
we would lose all our games
steam will never shut down
since we don’t own it
but people would still be less upset at EGS if the service it provided was anywhere near what Steam does.
we'd be all on another platform
it uses exclusivity as a way to make up for people not using its service due to lack of service quality
^^^
why would ANYONE pick EGS over steam
other than to play fortnite?
well, epic games executives thought of a brilliant idea, BUY EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS to games
forcing steam, GOG and others to PULL games from their stores
and that's how they really messed up because unlike console players, PC gamers don't take that
look at it from the perspective, not america or anyone in a first world country
people cannot afford to buy both
yep that too
i see it makes sense now
and people in america, 40$ an hour, but they still have to pay a ridiculous amount of rent just to get by
and steam actually tries to be fair with its prices for different countries, which is why trying to use another country IP to get a game cheaper is against the rules
No no i’m in australia
i know
America is effed
you said america off handedly, so i picked it specifically as an example
but thats our TED talk on why EGS sucks
of course, we mean places like columbia or something
but australia may have clouded my judgement because i grew up here with a bunch of different platforms on n literally anything, tv, sports tv, games,
and maybe greece? is greece still bad financially?
yeah in the us we pick one, maybe two
so we hold strong to our devices
there are people that only play modded GBA. seriously, no joke.
what’s gba
gameboy advance
hhahaah that’s sick
modded means they upgraded it
yeah
and the SFX boost, like... literally sounds like IMAX speakers
well i get the issue now with egs and other countries/people, because it is unfair for a lot to have to decide on two different things if it’s unaffordable and that stuff used to be console thing only
omg imax speakers on game boy 😂
yeah it's LOUD
steam had all the eggs and kept asking top dollar , sooner or later someone would come up with the idea of breaking that stream by offering different prices
do you really think hackers pay for everything?
that's such a tired argument
you do realize you can just pay to have a game on the steam page, but purchase the game from a different site and steam hosts it for free right?
then they take 15 percent
no they don't
you can pay steam for the game page and to let people download it from them, but have people buy the game on your own site so steam doesn't take a cut from the sales
im sure thats why the creators of that factorio type game went to eg
no you don't understand
you can have people buy the game on YOUR OWN SITE
and not ANY store
and steam can still host the downloads and not take a cut
the reason people don't do that is because of the other services steam offers game creators/publishers, which egs doesn't offer
With the right (passionate) community Steam is not necessary. But let's see; not decided.
your own site doesnt have the same traffic though
you can legit just link your site on the steam page
you are nobody steam is a known store
