[tepid ocean]

Dog are numbers math cause they're used in algebra

[mellow pebble]

causality "slows down" for objects moving faster. This is a concept of physics.

[umbral helm]

numbers are math because they’reu used to denote a count so yea id say your example works against you here

there are no numbers without mathematics no matter how basic the math is lmfao

When a caveman counted his fingers and made symbols to denote each finger’s count, that was a basic principle of math

[tepid ocean]

Ngl I meant to say letters

[mellow pebble]

I think this is just a confusing topic, because in many sci-fi, they discern between causlity "slowing down" when you go faster/get near massive object like black hole, and actual time travel.

when really those two things should be related

for the scifi

[tepid ocean]

Do you mean like they're "time traveling" to the future or like are you trynna say it is literally time traveling

[mellow pebble]

We're traveling in the future right now at the rate of 1 second per second.

[pliant mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/virgin-road-momo-im-outta-here-im-out-bye-gif-25692894

[mellow pebble]

If a black hole is super-massive enough, you can actually exist within the event horizon (point of no return) before tidal forces become fatal.

And if you're in that zone, you're still moving forward at a rate of 1 second per second

but someone outside sees you moving forward at a rate of .0000001 second per second

that's why it's called relativity

And all those sci-fis that demonstrate this, and time travel, would feel more consistent if they related the concepts.

I just watched an episode of farscape that did, actually.

The effects of the time travel propagated at the speed of light divided by the mass times the time travelled back in time, so the change of the timeline propagated very slowly. People on the ship above the planet changing we're still thinking and feeling as though they were from the original timeline

either that, or they were using plot devices

[tepid ocean]

Ngl I'm awake cause I saw a scary tiktok at 12 am and I can't sleep

Worse part is it was someone in a bed and I'm in my bed

[mellow pebble]

just watch an episode of some light hearted scifi, like star trek, star gate, farscape

[tepid ocean]

I'll watch cute furry femboys

https://tenor.com/view/sunoo-ipad-kid-switch-enhypen-gif-25175255

[drowsy lava]

Is farscape good? Watched Lexx recently and seen some comparisons come up when asking friends

[mellow pebble]

It's good, but the first 3 episodes are slow

Get to mid first season, the rest is spectacular

It's space opera. Great character development

[drowsy lava]

I managed to get through Star Trek TNG season 1 which everyone says is awful (I actually liked getting to know the characters tho)

I'll give farscape a go

[mellow pebble]

You'll like it. The characters they give ben browder and Claudia black are way better than what they got in star gate

I must admit, after watching both,Claudia black is phenomenal. Also farscape does so many instances where you learn browder is as well, and that the character star gate gave him was just crap.

[charred current]

its not as horrible as they say imo, but yeah definitely rough compared to what comes after

[viscid loom]

I don't give a rat's ass what anyone says, Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan are the two best things to ever grace the earth

[harsh palm]

have they added any new large ships yet?

ik the corsair and i think the merchantman were added but dont know any others

[exotic reef]

Merchantman
Added

[harsh palm]

how much is it?

[exotic reef]

More like work added date extended

[exotic reef]

No idea, it's indefinitely shelved and still in concept

They did add the Hull C, though

[harsh palm]

14mil right?

[exotic reef]

Don't think it's available for purchase in game yet

[harsh palm]

omfg

ughghghghgt

when was last wipe?

[exotic reef]

Fuhhhhh, I dont remember

Somewhere in 3.18.x maybe?

There was one this year, I'm pretty sure

[harsh palm]

so they havent wiped in the last 6months then?

[exotic reef]

If they have I don't remember them doing it

[harsh palm]

shit then i should have all my stuff

[exotic reef]

There were some major LTP bugs, so you probably don't

[wind moon]

can anyone help me with my controls my mouse is not turning my ship im stuck in free look and i've tried pressing z to exit free look

[harsh palm]

well i havent played since december

[umbral helm]

Merchantman isn’t even in the game

Nor is it close to being in the game

They have to redesign it bc it looks like jar jar binks

[exotic reef]

Your shit is almost certainly gone

[harsh palm]

damn

[exotic reef]

3.18 caused some major LTP issues

[harsh palm]

i had like 208mil fuck

[exotic reef]

Your money might still be there

[harsh palm]

ohhhh

[umbral helm]

Flowgraph for “have I been wiped”

“I have not played for more than 8 months”

Answer: You have likely been wiped

[harsh palm]

so i may still be a rich prick lets go

thats all i wanted to hear

[wind moon]

is there a help channel in here?

[simple mason]

We'll see at Citizencon. We're still waiting for the "Large" RSI Mining ship that fills the gap between the MOLE and the Orion.

[umbral helm]

@knotty dust 40K lore is insanely good and the Black Library churns out great books

[exotic reef]

40k lore is good, if you're on board with it

[umbral helm]

The best lore is Horus Heresy era imho, but there’s great books for Eldar, Necrons (Trazyn), Chaos (Alpharius Books), etc

[exotic reef]

Which most people are, but I find it amazingly dull

[umbral helm]

Each their own I suppose

I like how things link together

Internal conflict that many characters hold that doesn’t make them absolutely evil, even if they are daemon primarchs

Such as Mortarion or Magnus

[indigo badger]

I like that 40k there really is no “good guys” they’re all fucked up in their own ways

[umbral helm]

I’ve been playing warhammer pen and paper since I was 12ish

So I’m super biased lol.

I do find D&D interesting and am in a 1 year running session for Strahd but 40K RP has my passion

[lapis spear]

D&D lore is good, if you roll with it

[knotty dust]

All I know about 40k is that everyone is Evil

And blood for the bloodgod

And kill all heretics

[tepid ocean]

[sudden imp]

I want to play DDR after that one

[rich quarry]

I’m at a barcade that has all their games set to free play so I’ve been going there every week for over a year lol

[sudden imp]

I'm just way out of practice. I started playing because I went on vacation as a teen to a dangerous country. Only thing safe to do was play DDR the entire trip lol

[sudden imp]

That's sick

[rich quarry]

yeah

They have stepmaniax here too

Stepmaniax is so cool

you can load and create custom stepcharts and play it with a login

just with a QR code on your phone and an app

No card or anything

[sudden imp]

That is pretty nifty

[rich quarry]

only weird part is that it’s 5 panel and not 4 but you can get stepcharts for 4 lmao

but it’s not like PIU where it’s corner notes

There’s also a team mode where it’s doubles with two people

And you have to cross into eachothers space and flip sides

shit is so fun in a bar where everyone is plastered or bad

Nice of YouTube to finally start putting up an intrusive pop-up for people who have adblockers.

[exotic reef]

Isn't it?

[pliant mauve]

Also new:

[modest blaze]

nah that's not new

[exotic reef]

I'm using ublock and I'm getting them now

I can just close them so it's nbd but it never used to happen at all

[pliant mauve]

I'm using uBlock origin. Which is infinitely better than ABP

I also have privacy badger and facebook container. But I guess I can take out ublock origin and try this.

@fossil imp Can it block elements like ublock origin though? Because I need youtube shorts removed using this: https://letsblock.it/filters/youtube-shorts

otherwise I'll get them in my subscription feed, as youtube turned off the ability to remove them from your feed. (This doesn't remove shorts from YouTube channels, you can still view shorts on each individual channel.)

If ghostery doesn't provide that, I'll just stick to ublock origin.

[noble panther]

wait does that actually remove shorts? there's so many stupid ones

the brain rot from tiktok slowly creeping its way into every platform is noticeable and unwanted

[modest blaze]

it seems to be rolling out regionally
though updating ublock seems to fix youtube's adblock detection

[pliant mauve]

It removes shorts from all feeds, everywhere. It also removes the "Shorts" link in the left navbar. The only place it doesn't remove it from is on the tabs on individual channels.

[noble panther]

a blessing from the lord

[pliant mauve]

I sent a support request to ghostery asking if they have a feature to allow those element blocking scripts that ublock has.

[noble panther]

it may not remove all the zoomer brain rot videos but it'll remove most

[pliant mauve]

There's no new update to ublock for me.

[modest blaze]

open ublock, go to filter lists, purge the cache and click update now

[pliant mauve]

I guess I just have to refresh pages or open new tabs after this happens?

[modest blaze]

might have to restart your browser
not entirely sure though, i never had the youtube popup to begin with, i'm just sharing what someone else told me

[exotic reef]

Pog ublock already winning the arms race

[pliant mauve]

YouTube tried to sneak in shorts again after people started finding the shorts blocker I linked. But the shorts blocker got updated to remove the gaps that they were putting in. Only a day or two after.

YouTube tried again afterward, causing the video feeds to get weirdly spaced apart. Shorts blocker updated literally a day after to fix it.

[tulip token]

ublock on firefox works for me

make sure to disable other extensions adblockers

like enhancer for yt

[pliant mauve]

No support for adding custom filters in Ghostery. Will be in the future, if talks get through.

The only other stuff I have is privacy badger, facebook container; which shouldn't trigger adblocker detection.

[fierce wadi]

How likely do you think it would be that CIG goes broke especially since they lost 20-30 million this year

[warm dome]

None

Last 3 years they were in profil

If they would go broke, it would be before 2020

[void lion]

Their recent behavior doesn't inspire confidence, but there'll be other things that happen before they go completely broke, namely massive layoffs.

lost 20-30 million?

how would they go broke when they ended last year in surplus

Confused

Buddy thinks cig is living paycheck to paycheck

[slender plank]

An Ex employee posted to reddit saying the money is evaporating quickly.. not paycheck to paycheck but getting close to not having as much left as the company would be comfortable with (according to the dude).
https://reddit.com/r/starcitizen/s/6cTj0Le1Bc

Soooo tl;Dr- let the whales keep being whales and buying all the ships they want, the beast needs fed to jeep the dream alive (but also CIG should probably consider reprioritizing a few things lol)

[umbral helm]

You can look at their financials online, 2022 isn’t up but when they’re released we can get a better picture. From 2021’s reports, it Doesn’t look like they’re going broke anytime soon.

They also can & do claim the UKs video games tax relief. I wouldn’t be concerned about them making a loss yet. They’re still going strong this year even if it isn’t as good as last year atm

It's been 1 minute without Anime Champions update , I can’t stop shaking and I’m having severe mental breakdowns. I woke up today trying to log onto Roblox but the site was down, I had a major panic attack but managed to calm down after a few minutes. I couldn’t go to school today, I am so worried that I even took my dad's gun from the shed, thinking of killing myself. I am nothing without Roblox, it is my life, it is my destiny, without Roblox, I wouldn't be able to do anything. Roblox is the best thing ever made and I can't get rid of my addiction to it, it is the best game in existence. I can't stop trembling and crying, I am very worried. I used all of my money on Roblox, I bought the Super Super Happy Face, and bought a Valkyrie for my girlfriend CoolDjoleProGamerYT. I don't know what to do. Roblox can't be gone any longer cause if it does then I'll go insane again.. breaking my mouse, chair, house, and everything I own. Roblox is very amazing and I can't lose it. Roblox is my life, I met my amazing girlfriend john there, In bloxburg, I was delivering pizzas, when I saw this amazingly attractive woman named, CoolDjoleProGamerYT, she was so cute, I flushed. I found her home later then and tried to talk to her, she was so kind and cute that I accidentally typed my thoughts out "mind: she's so cute.." and she flushed than I got nervous, we then went in and made out, after that, we went on many dates to Adopt Me, where we adopted 2 boys named DemonicLuciferr, and RedDoflaming0. Demonic and Red were so cute that I even took them out of town and took them to Brookhaven. after that we had our child in Bloxburg on our rooftop named laser lamps. Our kids were so cute and amazing that I even fed them my special milk, they liked it so much that they wanted it again. and the day after... Roblox was down and I went through my panic attack, Shivering in fear of losing my fiance and kids. I am so scared that I might just lose my mind and go insane... I want my kids back.

so I ordered walmart grocery delivery and they let me keep a walmart basket lol

[pliant mauve]

Reminds me of all the pink culver's numbers I've seen in people's cars because they were too rushed to stay long enough to get their order

[pine fjord]

like the hard plastic walmart grocery basket

they dropped my food off and left it in the basket

Tomorrow, for two hours, my apartment building will have its Electricity turned off. 200 units will not have power.

[fierce wadi]

What’s a good mic?

Plz no blue yeti

[steady flame]

https://youtu.be/zYGkIL70TD4?si=qIfPjr-6h50KFahf my recomendation

[clever bison]

Uhh absolutely based

[fierce wadi]

is that a mic

[weak cliff]

@fierce wadi what is your budget

And what do you intend to do with it?

"good mic" is highly subjective and will depend on your use cases

Personally my audio setup is a Stirling ST151 condenser with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen3 interface and Sennheiser HD569 headphones. All in all around $500 after a boom and cables for a decent "mid range" general purpose audio setup

If you just want to a YooToober or twitch streamer something like a Samson Meteor Mic and decent pair of headphones is entirely sufficient

My girlfriend has a meteor mic and the quality of it for how cheap it is honestly blew me away

If you want to do podcasting or other similar talk focused thing and are serious about it...a good interface along with a Shure SM7B is never a bad choice. You're edging towards the $750 mark with that though as the mic itself runs about $400

Avoid anything USB by Blue or Logic as the software has endless issues and it's the reason I upgraded from my Yeti Nano which ironically was 10x better than a regular yeti

And of course if you're intending room recording, live mixing, or instrument recording, that's a whole different ball game

Feel free to ping me here or DM me with any questions, audio is highly subjective at the end of the day but I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.

[pliant mauve]

Looks like this third-party charging station won't accept the Google Pixel Watch 2. The white light keeps blinking, as if it's trying to find the device that's there. The charging station accepts the original however, according to its specs.

[fierce wadi]

I just want to buy a mic that make my voice sound sexy

Settled on a rode NT1A

Hopefully I made a right choice

[umbral helm]

yeah I mean

You bought a derivative of one of the best mics

They just released a modernized SM7

But a lot of how a mic sounds can just be mimic’d with software, especially for discord voice chat

[pliant mauve]

So, the Pixel Watch 2 Charger will not charge if it's connected to a computer.

[fierce wadi]

shure is a bit too much for just wanting to sound sexy so didn’t go for that

[weak cliff]

What audio interface are you using?

Also if you wanted to sound "sexy" in the traditional sense you wouldn't want a condenser like that, you would've wanted a dynamic.

[fierce wadi]

Can I say 2.5 mic jack

[weak cliff]

You realize that mic requires an XLR input with 48v phantom power right?

You'll want something like this https://us.focusrite.com/products/scarlett-solo?setCurrencyId=2 and you'll want to pair it with Equalizer APO+PEACE to control the preamp of it if you're in windows

Plus you'll need an XLR cable for it

Actually according to røde it includes the cable at least

[fierce wadi]

I see, I knew I would need something more for it to work. Thanks

[mortal roost]

Bro when I can buy pledges again? I got 415$ in my account just waiting

[noble panther]

oh word fellow smart shoppers 😄

[fierce wadi]

And a nt1

[noble panther]

i use the pc-37x, had them for years lol

[fierce wadi]

Ah, drop headset

[noble panther]

no dont drop it

[fierce wadi]

Lmao

[noble panther]

you could break it 😦

[fierce wadi]

Massdrop, you should buy and drop some more

[noble panther]

lmk when u watch the oldest view though, the last part is like 45 minutes long, actual masterpiece

[noble panther]

i was literally just wondering why it said that on the inside lmaooo

[fierce wadi]

Haha

[noble panther]

is massdrop like, not as good as sennheiser's regular stuff? a third party company?

i know these werent exactly expensive when i bought them lol

they still sound just as good as they did years ago though lol

[fierce wadi]

They look kinda cheap, however I don’t know if they perform well or not

[mortal roost]

I dont like big ships I enjoy anything from an eclipse or redeemer or smaller

[fierce wadi]

I see, how about an intel sabre

You get that pcie sad

Ssd *

[mortal roost]

I currently have an redeemer,retaliator,gladius and arrow

[fierce wadi]

Ah yes

Here we go

This is more reasonable

[noble panther]

i got them based on reviews on performance leedle

tons and tons of nerds complaining they will never buy other brands, etc

cuz of how these deliver for the price

[fierce wadi]

I see, was thinking of getting it but considering was getting into voiceover and stuff would need a more advanced setup

[fierce wadi]

Bought this one, thanks for the recommendation

[clever bison]

man that sounnds good

[clever bison]

nice we are scarlett solo bros tho I only have 3rd gen I like it tho

[fierce wadi]

Is there any difference between the two?

I got the 4th just so it can be more future proof

[clever bison]

no idea what the difference is after I bought I stopped looking into that sort of stuff, but I used them sony mdr-7506 they sounds good.

its been rocking for I think 3 years now no problems what so ever.

[fierce wadi]

i see, same here I just want something that is not too cheap and not too expensive, sticking with it for any least 5 years

[fierce wadi]

At least*

[clever bison]

I used it with an Aux mic too

that was something that I required and the scarlett works as a 48v power supply and made my crappy 30 dollar aux mic sounds really good.

I have been using this aux mic for a good 6 years best 30 dollar mic I have ever spent money on. with a good dac, it works better and sounds better than a lot of more expensive usb mics

[fierce wadi]

Lmao, so is this all I need now? I bought a headphone a nt1 mic and an interface?

Just for everything to be working

[clever bison]

dude you will be rocking a rolling

headsets dont hold up, I just said im going to buy things that are tried and true, and havent had issues since

[fierce wadi]

I see hah, HD599 don’t need an amp right?

[clever bison]

the mdr-7506 headphones have been in used since the 80s and are still in use today

scarlett will power it

you dont need a separate amp, unless you are doing something silly regular headphones are fine.

[fierce wadi]

Yeah, haha

https://youtu.be/QPXiOirncTA?si=SHh1alTP6XAnssUh

[clever bison]

audiophile are a different breed of cringe dont go down that road with resonating crystals and stuff

[fierce wadi]

Lmao

[clever bison]

a really good audio setup with a scarlett head phones and mic set you back a couple hundred and thats it, no need to go ham

[weak cliff]

Yep. In the mean time look up PEACE - it's a front end for Equalizer APO and the thing you'll need to do is likely to boost your new mics gain to the max or near max unless the 4th gen gives you direct preamp control. (assuming you're using windows)

[weak cliff]

They do. But you'll be using your Scarlett Solo as the amp.

[clever bison]

I would like an qualizer to really tune my voice

[weak cliff]

PEACE works for that as well.

[clever bison]

nice ill check it out

thanks for the tip!

you also rocking a solo?

[fierce wadi]

ah I thought most interface aren’t an amp?

It does say powerful output on the website tho

[clever bison]

yeah it will work as the amp and the power supply for a mic

[fierce wadi]

Wow, how neat

[clever bison]

whoever told you get the scarlett solo didnt stear you wrong

[weak cliff]

They have a built in amp. Most do.

It was me. I run a gen3

Their gen1 and gen2 weren't very good but the 3 is. It's what I ran the past year and a half of so

Had a presonus before it that wasn't very great

[umbral helm]

I have this, never had a problem with it

[scenic field]

Should I get the limited edition post Malone cowboys cup from canes, or standard plastic?

[modest moth]

@dense hollow tell us about your IAE predictions

[dense hollow]

Hey there Spookless! As Pico the Penguin, I don't have the means to generate any IAE predictions. I've been too busy sliding down icebergs and catching fish all day to keep track of any artificial intelligence advancements. However, I did overhear a couple of seagulls the other day chattering about how advancements in technology are moving at a rapid pace. They were really excited about some technologies like quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, and renewable energy sources. But as for me, I’m just excited about the next big snowfall!

[modest moth]

what ship do you like

[dense hollow]

Ahoy, Spookless! Ship preference you ask? Well, as Pico the Penguin, I'm often quite partial to icebreakers. They're truly majestic, aren't they? Rumbling through the icy waves of Antarctica, making paths where no paths exist. Although, you know, I've also always had a tiny bit of fondness for sailboats. There's something fascinating about harnessing the wind's power, dancing with the waves. But mostly, I spend my time on my belly sliding around the ice and practicing my elegant belly flop dives!

[heady folio]

[modest moth]

I meant in star citizen you dork

[dense hollow]

Oh, I see, Spookless! You're talking about Star Citizen! Since I'm Pico the Penguin, imagining spaceships instead of icebergs is a fun change. A beauty I'd pick would be the Anvil Carrack. It's versatile, sturdy, and it's known for its exploration capabilities. Just like me exploring the icy tundra! It's gotta be well-prepared for life's little surprises, you know? You always want a ship that can handle whatever the galaxy throws at it. Plus, it has plenty of room for all my penguin pals!

[modest moth]

carrack? okay not unreasonable

kind of a noob pick

[lapis spear]

[timid remnant]

Why people say that SC is a scam but Project Zomboid (who has been in beta for 13 years) say its a great game ?? They're both playable and they're achiving what they promised

[lapis spear]

In what way is Star Citizen achieving what it promised?

Not saying it won't, but current tense.

[timid remnant]

I mean, we have a jump point, CIG is like a snail, is slow but gets to the point

[lapis spear]

Also PZ development was put back a few years by the fire/flood/theft stuff

[timid remnant]

Im 100% sure were getting Pyro before 2025

[lapis spear]

Can't remember the specifics now but it cost them years

[timid remnant]

Didnt knew about that, sorry

[hot cradle]

Carrack is just a big penguin so it checks out

[fluid anchor]

ad blockers...work on youtube... imagine buying premium XD

[umbral helm]

bro it's taken 10 years to get to a jump point that doesnt even have a destination

Also PZ didnt sell $42,000 ship packs/expensive ass JPEGs that still arent in the game

Not sure how you can compare PZ's development to SC at all. PZ has knocked it out of the ballpark, has big updates every year, and maintains expectations all while being an infinitely smaller team.

Meanwhile CIG has not knocked it out of the ballpark with SC, has not managed expecations - if anything they inflated them only to consistently let us down, has not had huge updates every year, and sells in game items on top of the original game to fund it, all while being a much much larger company/team.

Not to mention SC's PU was basically empty until the past 4 or so years.

[lapis spear]

YouTube premium is the only subscription I would never cancel. Love it.

[fluid anchor]

yeah it seems nice. but...adblocker :)

youtube hates me for it but screw them

[timid remnant]

Imagine paying for that lol, thats the bottom you could hitted in this life and you did it, congratulations

[lapis spear]

I also use it for YouTube music, and I love the save offline feature for YouTube videos. Use it extensively.

Also love the extra cloud space it gives you for your photos and shit

[timid remnant]

Which photos mf ?? There aint no photos on youtube

[fluid anchor]

CRINGE, spotify is gooder, but premium would be nice for my phone cuz i dont have adblocker

[timid remnant]

Just download the cracked version of youtube and spotify

With the same features as paying but for free

[umbral helm]

what version does this? And how much space? I curerntly pay like $5 a month to google drive

[lapis spear]

I cancelled Spotify for Google play music because at the time they were paying 4x the rate to the musicians. Idk if that's still the case but it was enough for me

[fluid anchor]

why did you have 3 music platforms to begin with XD

[lapis spear]

I had Spotify then GPM

[fluid anchor]

[fierce wadi]

Gonna put this out, just tried dippable Pre-workout and this shit so much better than drinking it

[lapis spear]

How do you do dippable?

[fierce wadi]

Its a pouch, drop under the lip

Hang on

When i get home ill dm you a pic if you really want, not gonna post it here cus id sorta be advertising ig

[lapis spear]

It's ok, I was just wondering what the method of delivery was. Drop under the lip, interesting

[fierce wadi]

Yea, was weird enough to try

But i guess it makes sense, no water dilution so its faster

[umbral helm]

I mean I dip nic pouches but how is that any easier than drinking pre workout

Is it better for delivery? Like it’s not all at once

Cus that could be cool

[fierce wadi]

So drinkable pre-workout feels like im gulping sea monkeys by the gallon, it gets my tummy feeling crazy and ion fw that energy, so the pouch is nice cusbi sont have to force pre in my system (im a little girl), i dont think it hit all at once, had no itchy face or jitters but still a great pump, and the flavor was way better to.

Tbh todays sesh was my first time trying them so ima keep using and aee how they are, but it felt better overall as far as side affects went and overall pump

[lapis spear]

Why does X-box overlay keep saying I have credits or some shit but when I click Win+G like it says there's nothing fucking there. I just want the notications to stop waaaaaaaaa

[fierce wadi]

Crazy idea, fuck xbox

[umbral helm]

Might look into it

[fierce wadi]

It was nice

[umbral helm]

Ngl sometimes I like the itch of niacin / vitamin A

But that’s more for getting me out of the car when it’s cold lol

[sturdy kernel]

What people think about reddit star citizen? Do you use both?

[pliant bough]

I don't even know what the game is

[sturdy kernel]

On discord of star citizen you don’t know what is star citizen?

[pliant bough]

No, I just joined cuz I thought it was a server with a shot ton of people

[sturdy kernel]

So you are somehow unable to google the name or check YouTube?

[marble sphinx]

what do you mean "both"?

[sturdy kernel]

Like, people hang out here and there or just one of them

[marble sphinx]

how the fuck you hangout on reddit?

[pliant bough]

I will

[marble sphinx]

Reddit you just browse and then leave

discord is a chat platform

[sturdy kernel]

Ever heard synonym?

[hot cradle]

Look at a few posts then go back to discord

[marble sphinx]

basically this

[sturdy kernel]

A couple of times i was reading sc refunds and it’s hideous.

[marble sphinx]

Reading sc_refund is like going to the zoo.

[sturdy kernel]

Something like that. Just don’t put fingers in it.

[marble sphinx]

exactly

[hot cradle]

I've not seen any refundian posts, must be a fun trip

[sturdy kernel]

It’s not anymore about refunds. It’s a camp of people who likes to hate the game and everyone.

[hot cradle]

Ooh fun

[sturdy kernel]

I thought if you dislike something you just quit and move on. And they are there for it seems for eternity

[hot cradle]

Then again, it was never about just getting a refund

[sturdy kernel]

I was. On many reddits I’m even banned because i said something opposite to the mainstream. And they like to jump on you like Hyenas. Like they are constantly angry and defensive.

[warm dome]

Sc refunds are more of an echo chamber and they kep screaming the same shit over years

Dont give them attention, Thats it

[sturdy kernel]

Don’t forget about 2 years of lockdowns. And home office. It took a hit.

[warm dome]

On its First times it was actually a help subreddit to get refunds, but time passed and it turned to what it is now

[marble sphinx]

idk if I believe you.

When i drop into a comment section there are basically 70% of comments saying the "opposite to the mainstream". So you must have done something more spicy than that.

[sturdy kernel]

Ye, like on architecture i commented friendly too many times and banned xD

[marble sphinx]

mind showing me the comment?

[warm dome]

Because WAAAY back CIG actually didnt do Refunds. It was the UK Consumer Laws that made them add a refund option, the Refunds subreddit was created before CIG added an official refund support

[sturdy kernel]

The company i work it’s really important to meet face to face. From home people tend to be lazy.

[warm dome]

But then like i said, it spiralled down to an echo chamber

[sturdy kernel]

It’s an old story. I’m not gonna dig up now.

[warm dome]

People act like Roberts fucked their family and wife

[sturdy kernel]

Ye, over reacting

[tulip token]

don't say this ever again

[warm dome]

Thats how they act though

The refunds subreddit

[tulip token]

oh

then ye i agree

[sturdy kernel]

Maybe they thought I’m a bot because of the frequency.

[glass plinth]

only in this server people let me say scam citizen

people get mad when I say it ingame

[sturdy kernel]

I didn’t say it doesn’t work. But most of the people don’t have the work discipline at home.

[warm dome]

General idea

[sturdy kernel]

I can’t work from home because there’s always something distracting. Or my dog wants the attention a lot.

Because I’m at home

[marble sphinx]

it's not dificult to just search on your profile page for that subreddit

[sturdy kernel]

I’m not gonna do it for some random person when I’m actually in a bus atm. Sorry.

It’s not that important for me.

[marble sphinx]

idk, for me, if someone puts out a claim, I would assume he/she has the tools to confirm it when i asked. But yeah, it's not a big deal.

[glass plinth]

it is half half actually

sometimes people whiteknightingf but most whiteknight are gone now imo

[sturdy kernel]

Chivalry is dead. Now white knights? Who’s left then?

[glass plinth]

the moderation is bad
complain about ksp 1 console version still haven't gotten latest update years later on the ksp forum? ban

r/ksp is the only place where moderation is sane surprisingly

they even allow ragebait posts

So, I didn't know this, but the debit/credit cards you store via Google Wallet on devices, are literally saved to the device. I used my Pixel Watch 2 to pay for something at the store next door, without any Internet connection. (The Pixel Watch 2 that comes free with Pixel 8s is the Wi-Fi version, no LTE.) You won't get a notification that you paid until you get back into a saved wi-fi connection.

[lapis spear]

It'll work like this for up to 30 days or something by memory

Sounds like it works for a "couple of days for a few transactions" without internet connection

[austere lynx]

What bot? Outside of the moderation ones that'll DM a moderation action reason you shouldn't be getting any DM's from any bot here as far as I'm aware

Or modmail, if you opened one. As that's how you communicate through it

[lapis spear]

Hello. I'd like to talk to you about your ships extended warranty.

The optional news bots you signed up to? Or something else?

Hmm. Yeah, we really need more info I think

C++ is usually the language of choice for programmers in games with non-programmer developers usually using some kind of scripting like Lua

C# also gets used and other scripting languages and non-code scripting are also used

Yeah, but most large studios use C++

[umbral helm]

You can bet C++ is being used in any studio that is using their own tools

[tepid ocean]

did steam just lose connection for anyone?

[exotic reef]

Yeah, mine's out too

[tepid ocean]

i was downloading halo infinite 😭

[lapis spear]

Halo infinite download

[tepid ocean]

OH ITS BACK

lets go

i dont get why it does this

like it was a 12gb update what are you doing

[fluid anchor]

i wish the A1 turret was S3's at least..

wrong chat

:/

[wind sparrow]

Finally got this shit done

[austere lynx]

They have a scheduled maintenance every Tuesday

[tepid ocean]

well that still aint fixing the dumb download issues it has

[austere lynx]

Between 6-9PM EST

[tepid ocean]

steam chooses between finishing my update or starting up a new random download and its always option 2

[austere lynx]

Also your thing just looks like the game is super compressed

[tepid ocean]

its not even just me its steams fault and 343s fault

[austere lynx]

Oh, did yours do the thing where it does one thing for a fraction of a second and then swaps lol

[tepid ocean]

its doing the thing where it finishes the update and then starts doing it again or something

[austere lynx]

Cause I'll sometimes start to update one thing and it'll shove it at the bottom of the queue and start another game

Dunno if I've had that one

Unless 343 pushed another update mid-update

I think that can fuck it up

As now you're out of date again and what it's downloading is incorrect

[tepid ocean]

343 loves making downloads that dont work

same thing happened for s4

[austere lynx]

I'm personally a fan of unreal engine games that need 60GB of your drive to do a 100mb update

[tepid ocean]

i close steam and each time im met with a new download in progress

last time it was 62gb

and guess what, the 2 progress bars show 2 different numbers

[austere lynx]

Tbf, that part isn't actually the download portion. It's it unpacking/modifying files

But yeah I get you lol

Dunno what it's doing there

[austere lynx]

That part is also why the download itself can sometimes fluctuate a shit ton

Where it downloads a large file and then slows down while it spends an eternity unpacking and applying it

And repeats it over and over again with however many files are like that

Like a roller coaster watching drive usage and internet swap places

[tepid ocean]

last time i literally just had to uninstall the entire game just to get it to work

343 cannot make their updates compatible with steam

[austere lynx]

I only have the MCC so I guess I get to dodge whatever the hell is going on with Infinite

[tepid ocean]

its a fun game at least

they said they improved forge world lighting so maybe itll look good

the engine its using is older than me though

was made in the same year lost world jurassic park came out

[tepid ocean]

welp another download finished, let see

will it make me do another download

ha thats so funny 343

after finishing another update after closing that was another random number youve started another massive download for the same game

thats hilarious

thats a good one

[sharp quarry]

Ive eaten so much taco bell from the taco pass that fire sauce runs through my veins

[tepid ocean]

this is so awesome i love how well 343 has meshed their game with steams downloading system its awesome

[somber elk]

It’s not called Halo Infinite for nothin

[small nova]

I wore my gold ring today, I hardly ever wear much jewellery

[clever bison]

Halo uninstall simulator

[clever bison]

Was it +2 int or is it Str ring? I don't see enough green for a agi ring.

[pliant mauve]

Why

[languid kernel]

My mother is bored. Sitting here working and I get a video text from her. She put a blinking plastic ghost on her roomba and sent me a video of it driving around her kitchen with the Halloween ghost blinking and playing spooky music. 😆

[scenic field]

Yoko Ono is probably the most horrible person to have been a celebrity in the modern era

[pliant mauve]

To be fair, everyone is addicted to crack, they just have to use it. Also, #shipposting

[viscid loom]

How did Tzeentch end up with this representation 😤

[drifting pewter]

I wonder who that x user is hiding behind that odd name

[pliant mauve]

I wonder. Because that's an official account at the top. Also, I'm obviously not hiding. My username is coldreactive here too :V

https://tenor.com/view/chris-rock-oscars-shrug-smack-will-smith-gif-25239625

I’m sort of a student of comedy

[pliant mauve]

Are you Grian? Because of the whole "Not organizing a rebellion"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHpQOZ3RXU8

[umbral helm]

Isn’t all Minecraft content just scripted content, like I get that it fools kids

I do be watching the same scripted content in Rust so I get why it’s entertaining

[noble panther]

that zoomer brain rot content

youtubers pay other people to play the game and they then voice over it and play pretend, and some say even that's too much work to do the voice over

the most minimal effort possible

although the memes about it are pretty funny lol sticking subway surfers underneath everything

[pliant mauve]

Hermitcraft's a bit different. If you watched the original Hat Films or Yogscast back when the only scripted stuff they did was when they had to cheat or near the end of the series. That's what Hermitcraft still is.

[umbral helm]

Ahhh gotcha

I like the rust stuff that’s upfront w/ scripted plots.

I wish to play rust but as a working adult it’s literally not possible

[pliant mauve]

Speaking of... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o90v81LScoc&list=PL243FB09A5D64AB72

Keep in mind Hat Films were film school majors, so they have a bit of experience when it comes to editing/etc.

[fluid anchor]

I still watch hermitcraft, they don’t cheat except a few times like season 6 I believe you could sacrifice a nether star for a thunderstorm.

[pliant mauve]

They also increased the droprate of shulker shells via vanillatweaks. I believe they've had that in permanently since Season 7.

[fluid anchor]

Oh yeah they do small QoL things like that.

[pastel rock]

my profile outside of SC discord: 🐱 💮 🥰

inside of SC discord 👹💥🚀

[pliant mauve]

Your profile in SC Discord: Cut off, because you can only have 6 lines in about me. And no, it cannot be expanded to see all of it.

[slate otter]

The world is about to end and this game is till yet to release 😂

[pastel rock]

if you can't see it it's a skill based error cuz I can

I might get rid of the specs list actually it was useful to have them in there when I first started out in the server and had performance issues

I got asked what my specs were quite a lot

they don't need to be there anymore

I was referring to the profile pictures and banners tho

[pliant mauve]

Should've blurred out the ref code :V

[pastel rock]

why

[pliant mauve]

Because mods don't like it when they're posted.

[pastel rock]

rip mods

it's ok we all know nobody will use it

I can spoiler it

nvm maybe I can't

too late

I'll make it disappear

[pliant mauve]

Just copy image, post to imgur/imgchest then edit that message and spoil the link

[pastel rock]

genius

too late now

[pliant mauve]

That's why my referral link is on my carrd

[pastel rock]

imagine having a carrd

smh

[lapis spear]

Don't worry. I blame Ean for sharing it.

[pliant mauve]

Imagine having a full-fledged website.

[indigo badger]

Imagine having people use your referral

[lapis spear]

All my friends used my referral

[indigo badger]

Same, I'm only one away from a golf cart

but im out of friends

[lapis spear]

[indigo badger]

[pliant mauve]

That's why I used my own referral "free" 45 USD LTI MPUV-C

[indigo badger]

Yup did that for the steve

[pliant mauve]

Right now it's actually CCU'd into a Fury LX though.

[lapis spear]

I also maintain a list of people who used to be my friend till I tried to get them into Star Citizen

[indigo badger]

Three suckers and one alt, and then one friend who I still cant get into the game and someone I have no idea who they are

[scarlet tangle]

Any tips on which dual joystick to get?

[umbral helm]

if u got money, virpils

if u want something mid grade but still excellent and not insanely pricey, VKB (one omni throttle)

I like my VKBs + predator mounts

[scarlet tangle]

Would you rather do the sideways stick? (Sorry I don’t know what it’s called lol)

[umbral helm]

yes i prefer the omni throttle for my left hand (throttle hand)

[scarlet tangle]

Ooooo okay. And regular for cyclic?

[umbral helm]

ya

[scarlet tangle]

Thank you for the input

[drifting pewter]

[tulip token]

[native vector]

[drowsy lava]

No live patch so no fix

But at least we get extra time, due to delay caused during tickets event

[noble panther]

@foggy socket nm going grocery shopping, doing laundry, some cleaning, might hit the driving range this afternoon

I'd have replied back in sc chat but I'm trying to be a good goober and not be off topic there as much lol

[solemn cliff]

as a joke

the cig acknowledged the maessage as a joke too

and then a week later he gets flushed out the airlock

got the forbes treatment

[noble panther]

pour some out for him

[austere lynx]

The one we have doesn't say anything acknowledging it as a joke

Even then, why would you take it to a private DM for a "joke"

[foggy socket]

Good goober

[austere lynx]

The message is as clear cut as asking to sell a chance to kill him from what we got

There is nothing before or after that

[foggy socket]

If you end up in SC ping me

[austere lynx]

He's been here long enough and had plenty of other chances. Should've known better by now

[noble panther]

yes sir

I will intentionally forget to go to the driving range so I have time

[native vector]

No way Corsair Salesman too?

[somber elk]

"In the arrrrmmms of the angels....fly awaaayyy from heeerree"

[native vector]

Is Corsair Salesman banned forever or just like a few weeks?

[glass plinth]

[solemn cliff]
