I didn't call you out by name!

LOL

[radiant moon]

Leave my cat gif alone 😔

[mental heath]

It was me. Please laugh at me.

[drowsy adder]

im getting the flowers already

[radiant moon]

Who's the oldest dev here? as in working from the start of sn1 till now? (2013-)

[ornate plover]

there are a few who have been around since NS1 days

[radiant moon]

Damn

[drowsy adder]

they said sn1 not ns1

[waxen bone]

But working on ns1 would make someone an older dev, it's still in the spirit of the question, no?

[mental heath]

Absolutely ancient.

[drowsy adder]

i mean true but like 99% of people here dont even know ns so like
when they say oldest dev thats most definitely not what they mean

[ornate plover]

ns1 pre-dates sn1 so it still answers the question imo and if they don't know what ns1 is they might've assumed it was a typo and I meant sn1 anyway lol

[radiant moon]

Subnautica 2 is ns3..Maybe

Tiny pinch of salt

Grain of sand

[peak spruce]

Nah thats like saying Halowars 2 is Halo 6

[gritty mortar]

hey

[spiral igloo]

who?

[peak spruce]

I know Obraxis has

[ornate plover]

I can't name them all but obraxis, cory strader, and andi are 3

[radiant moon]

And ryan reynolds

[mental heath]

My favorite developer from Unknown Worlds. Ryan Reynolds.

[glad furnace]

Yeah dont act like we dont know about the cardboard cutout of ryan renolds that they keep in the office smh

[mental heath]

I wouldn't know. I haven't seen The Office.

[ornate plover]

it's pretty funny

[mental heath]

So I've heard.

[brazen sorrel]

Hey Unc 👋

[teal mountain]

I remember getting subnautica 2 years ago which i had wanted for 7 YEARS SO IM SO EXCITED FOR SUBNAUTICA 2

[mental heath]

Hello my nephew.

[brazen sorrel]

How goes the day stranger

[mental heath]

Cheese and rice

[midnight cobalt]

are there any windows installation experts I genuinely can't get my installer to install

[brazen sorrel]

solid

[teal mountain]

Am i the only finnish subnautica player?

[scarlet flame]

wouldn't be unlikely

[drowsy adder]

not an expert all things considered but wheres the problem im curious
like what doesnt work

[spiral igloo]

no it actually would be

it would be very unlikely

[ornate plover]

I know of a finnish subnautica player

[teal mountain]

cool

[ornate plover]

yeah they are pretty coo

[waxen bone]

I know a few also

[scarlet flame]

im just messing bro

[rocky field]

happy trans visibility day chat

[mental heath]

Unc Matt approves of this message.

[midnight cobalt]

it says that it can't find the correct drivers heck it ain't finding any drivers

ahhhh

how nice!

and I'm out of luck because I don't have a second pc nor access to one

[mental heath]

Get a driver's license and drive yourself.

[midnight cobalt]

well I think my pc might be toast because I don't have another pc where I could use rufus

like i'm looking at something else and then i see a discord notification but then there isn't a discord notification yk

it's not really hallucinating but ykwim

ghost pings probably

[acoustic orchid]

I don't do ghost pings BTW, I hate when people do that.

[versed spruce]

Hey subnauts

[lament dune]

hey trend, hru

[rapid osprey]

I’m a little confused is both sub 1-2 complete also do they got VR support

[proud veldt]

yes, subnautica 1 and bz are done. subnautica 2 isnt out yet

[pastel slate]

There is vr support in subnautica 1 and a mod to add motion controls

I think below zero has a vr mod I cant remember

[ornate plover]

Subnautica 2 is unlikely to have official VR support per #subnautica-2-info

[rocky field]

meh

[ornate plover]

bz doesn't have official VR support but there is a mod for it

[lament dune]

🙁

[pastel slate]

Yeah

With sub 2 being in ue i feel a vr mod will be sick presuming it isnt native

[lament dune]

is vr support hard? I imagine you only need 2 virtual cameras and that's it

[pastel slate]

Controls, scale, preformance, diffrent rendering (i think??)

And making that work in co op

[lament dune]

and I guess some scheduling for the gpu to not have lag, a buffer

[sour void]

Cool dudes list:

Corvids
Whales
Tentacloids
Elephants
Frogs and toads
Bats

[ornate plover]

I love corvids

[rocky field]

why no mantas

Oh damn. This is an upset.

Subnautica: roblox edition

[acoustic orchid]

Even if I haven't searched it, there is 100% some dumbo that made copy of subnautica in Roslop.

[sharp pier]

Depending on the engine it's not that hard to make the game have the most basic of VR functionality, but getting the game to work with VR in a way that actually feels complete and well built, especially full controller and movement physics support are all different matters entirely.

To bring it to a level that feels professional and worth actually putting out there that it's an experience adapted to VR officially is a ton of work.

Earlier in the VR days a lot of games tried to do more basic VR modes but companies and devs have since learned it's not something you want to only partially commit to and then have a bad VR experience

[silk trout]

Now where the hell are turtles

[radiant mulch]

under there

[hushed hull]

PREQUELS FIRST

@silk trout give me your opinion

[silk trout]

I like em! They definitely have their faulty wiring so to speak but I think they ended up being a gem after all

[wintry scarab]

Eh I think it’s better to watch in theatrical release order, that way you’ll better understand the plot presented in the prequels as well as the foreshadowing

[wheat falcon]

i love these things #memes-and-media message

[silk trout]

This is true yeah

[silk trout]

Like I really honestly couldn’t imagine the franchise without them

[hushed hull]

the first time i watched star wars i watched the movies in release order, but on every rewatch i have done prequels

[wintry scarab]

I’ll usually pick a trilogy then watch that in order, rather than binging the whole saga

[hushed hull]

theres just something about the prequels that make them hit different, i find them more of comfort movies

[silk trout]

I know it has been said a whole bunch to the point where it’s tiring to even say but The Last Jedi honest to god almost feels like a parody

[silk trout]

Alongside Rise of Skywalker as well

[hushed hull]

yeah i can see that

right now id rather watch spaceballs

[wintry scarab]

Rise of Skywalker is what cemented the sequel trilogy as a bad trilogy, if they’d stuck to one path from the beginning with consistent writers and directors it could have been great

[silk trout]

That’s ultimately what harmed it yeah. With each installment in the sequel trilogy they kept pivoting to smth else almost out of fear it seems like

[wintry scarab]

Like I rewatched The Force Awakens a couple months ago, and the whole time I was thinking “man this would have been so much better if 8 and 9 weren’t progressively worse and disconnected than the last one

[silk trout]

I genuinely think Snoke was supposed to be the overarching villain initially but they wanted to pivot towards Palpatine simply cause he was iconic

[drowsy adder]

isnt that confirmed

[silk trout]

It might very well be

[drowsy adder]

palpatine 100% wasnt planned in ep 8 i am sure of that

[glad furnace]

Honestly the best route wouldve been going the route that legends did and make the final villain The Son

But that would mean they cant milk the series

That is of course if you think anyone besides anakin could possibly handle the son

(Even then, anakin would barely be able to 1/100 times)

[deft timber]

Whole freaking trilogy was a disorganized mess

[silk trout]

Yup

[deft timber]

Abrams had a decent thing going and then they screwed it all up with the next film

I’m sure Rian did his best but he should NOT have changed everything

Yeah let’s kill off Snoke

What purpose did he even serve? Nothing

Everything got retconned

[silk trout]

Yeah nah like Force Awakens wasn’t bad. Hell it got people hyped back up again so it did its job

They just didn’t live up to expectations at ALL

Force Awakens def ain’t a favorite of mine but I couldn’t go as far as to say I hated it

[gilded drum]

Anything new chat?

[spiral igloo]

hello chat

[glad furnace]

Force healing being a thing that jedi can do is so stupid. Makes anakin have even less reason to change sides.

[silk trout]

It’s also just such a cop out

[glad furnace]

Removes the consequences from basically anything

It only makes sense as a dark side power with insane consequences, it being a light side power with none sucks

[silk trout]

Dark side Force healing that causes the user of it to slowly deteriorate and rot when overused would actually be cool

As if you’re basically siphoning out your own life to heal someone else

[glad furnace]

Yes exactly, thats what force healing shouldve been. A dark pact. You break the rules of nature to heal, and it fights back.

[silk trout]

Like imagine if we saw Kylo Ren use it throughout the trilogy and then by the third movie he just looks tattered and withered as hell. Only thing keeping him going is his own rage

[glad furnace]

And it makes sense narratively, jedi being able to heal would be something that would happen quite a bit if it wasnt an absurdly rare ability (which id accept, honestly) but sith have no reason to do so, and the dark side of the force already slowly corrupts the body

[silk trout]

Yeah nah force healing should be rare either way or just smth that shouldn’t exist

[glad furnace]

Or, what wouldve made rey actually interesting, have her be a windu. She fights for the light with powers from the dark, including healing herself with the dark side, slowly corrupting her throughout the trilogy.

[deft timber]

Kylo ren was cool before he took off the helmet too but he just turned into an emo kid 🖤 the whole trilogy and tried to be like Vader who couldn’t even live up to the amount of stoicism he carried

[silk trout]

Purple lightsaber user as the main character 🙏

[glad furnace]

Exactly

And yk they could sell purple lightsabers because we know all they care about is merch

[silk trout]

To be honest though at the end of the day Finn was always more interesting to me than Rey ever was

[glad furnace]

And yk make the dark rey thing actually have some weight, they fight and fight throughout the trilogy and slowly come together, and she gets a purple saber

[silk trout]

Like how Luke went from Blue to Green as his experience in the force grew

[glad furnace]

Exactly, she’d go from fearing to embracing it, realizing it can be used to help people

[silk trout]

And also you know…maybe just NOT kill off Luke?

[glad furnace]

No no, he needs to die

[deft timber]

Can someone help out this guy in #below-zero-chat

[glad furnace]

Its a gojo problem yk, you introduce a powerful mentor character that could reasonably beat just about anyone, the third act needs to start with their death, sealing, or incapacitation. Luke needs to be way stronger than he was in the sequel trilogy, though he was in fact pretty strong there. Then you have his death be actually good

[silk trout]

I should probably reiterate: Don't have him die like that

I'd rather him die trying to help Rey

Have Rey blame herself for his death because he jumped in the fight to save HER from death

Have that weigh on her in the third film

[glad furnace]

Have her lose a duel and then as ren goes for the killing blow he shoves her out of the way

[silk trout]

Exactly

[fiery spruce]

chat how do i explain adhd paralysis to a neurotypical 80 year old woman

[polar kelp]

what is adhd paralysis

i don't think i've ever heard that phrase or experienced it and i have adhd

[indigo cave]

like you're a pincushion full of water and the pins are things you have to do and taking out a pin opens the wound so you just sit there and avoid the tasks

if you mean the thing I think

[rocky field]

this is such an incredible description

[indigo cave]

thank you i said it in therapy yesterday

[spiral igloo]

hello chat

[indigo cave]

you'll never guess what fun feeling I have right now

I am gonna put on a coffee

[rocky field]

so basically adhd paralysis is when you're incredibly overwhelmed and it involves an inability to start tasks and being unable make decisions or regulate your emotions

[inner tinsel]

This happened to me during French class, it sucks

[indigo cave]

also happy TDOV yall
👁️ 👁️

[rocky field]

and my grandma said "why is this just now becoming a problem when it's never come up in the past" when it actually has but it just hasn't been this intense for years

[indigo cave]

ough real

[rocky field]

idk grandma your guess is as good as mine

[spiral igloo]

what's that

[rocky field]

sigh

[rocky field]

trans day of visibility i think

trans day of making the same jokes and puns about looking at people

[rocky field]

lol

[winter spear]

can anyone with some PC building experience help?

[junior tusk]

Use glue as thermal paste
It is more efficient

[winter spear]

i really wasn't joking

[junior tusk]

But i was

[winter spear]

i really need some advice

[indigo cave]

what's up?

[slow berry]

As in selecting components or actually building the thing once you have all of the components?

[winter spear]

yeah selecting the parts

[slow berry]

How much would you wanna spend on it ?

[winter spear]

from $700 to around 1k

[slow berry]

Whats in your current PC ? If you have one anyway

[winter spear]

i use a laptop. and its spec sheet is embarrassing really

[slow berry]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
Theres this really usefull site

[winter spear]

is this build actually decent for 1080p gaming? including esports and AAA titles? Ryzen 5 7600X3D, paired with either a 3060 TI or a 4060, 16 GB DDR5

[winter spear]

thanks man

[indigo cave]

more than decent, but good luck finding ram in-budget

[winter spear]

is the 3060Ti better than the 4060?

[slow berry]

The CPU is great. The RAM is good enough, but the 2 GPUs of choice dont have much life left in them

[winter spear]

what GPUs would you recommend?

[indigo cave]

they're both fine, especially for 1080p

[slow berry]

Something with atleast 12GB of VRAM
Though i most recomend either a RX 9060 XT 16GB or 5060 TI 16GB

[winter spear]

but the 3060 TI has 16 GB, no?

[slow berry]

It doesnt
The 4060 and 3060 TI only have 8GB

[slow berry]

That 16GB was refferring to the RAM

Which is diferent and cant be easily/directly accessed by the GPU

[winter spear]

got it, so the CPU and RAM are fine, it's just the GPU that's the issue?

[slow berry]

I dont have any confidence in 8GB GPUs
Especially after my experience with one just last year

[slow berry]

Yeah

[winter spear]

and you strongly recommend at least 12 GB VRAM?

[slow berry]

Yes

[indigo cave]

AMD 9060 XT might be really nice if it's in your budget

[winter spear]

where can I find used deals?

[indigo cave]

depends on what price you're looking at for the older nvidia cards

[indigo cave]

for the 9060 XT, unlikely. it's new. but you can probably get used deals for 7700/7800XT or similar 6000 series cards

[slow berry]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb.c4293
This site also lets you easily check out the specs of GPUs and gives you a rough estimate of their performance

[winter spear]

how much of my budget should I dedicate to the GPU

[slow berry]

Id say roughly 50%
But only if you can fit a decent CPU (R5 5600 atleast), motherboard, RAM (16GB atleast) into the other half

[slow berry]

I also dont recommend those older AMD cards as they dont have very good feature support and are really terrible at ray tracing

[junior tusk]

Not sure if ddr5 is worth buying atm

[indigo cave]

that only matters if you want ray tracing

I didn't, so I got a 7800XT

had it for over a year now and I'm quite satisfied

[slow berry]

Raw RT perf ? Sure
But the feature stuff ? Nah, thing is you are forced to use an upscaler in almost all games these days and if you dont use one you will also get really poor visual quality (even if you try to run native resolution)
And RX 6000/7000 doesnt have any good upscalers available

You can only use FSR 3.1, TSR or XeSS
All are really bad in terms of quality IMO

[fair raft]

Hi chat! 🩷

[winter spear]

what's a cheap, good mATX case?

[fair raft]

Woooooah there's some fancy tech-y talk going on here

[fiery ermine]

Guys what muisc should I bang on the school radio speakers as april fools joke? (I got access to it)

[fair raft]

The axolotl song, or your pfp song

[indigo cave]

big disagree

[winter spear]

does the case have a big impact?

[indigo cave]

it can affect thermal performance, but most are just fine

[slow berry]

No
All it needs to do is have good enough airflow

And to fit your components

[winter spear]

can you recommend a mATX one?

[slow berry]

Truth is i havent built a PC in a very long time

Okay well uhh 3 years actually

Idk much in terms of the current market really

[indigo cave]

the current market is ram go boom

I last built last year, and before that was 2022/3 (for my partner)

[slow berry]

Well i know about the RAMpocalypse

But cases, motherboards, PSUs nah

I also dunno how CPU value stacks up these days

[winter spear]

what's RAM timing? and does it have a big impact?

[fair raft]

I like putting stickers on my laptop :D

sorry I just have no clue what you all are talking about haha

[indigo cave]

ram timing is a measure of how quickly (measured in cycles) the ram can respond to requests. it does matter (smaller is generally better) but it's a tradeoff of price to performance

[winter spear]

me too, lol
i also have no clue what I'm talking about

[winter spear]

it should't matter a lot, right?

[junior tusk]

Should i get plague inc

[steady tangle]

Hello guys

[radiant mulch]

yessirrr (if you liuke the game and have money to spare ofc)

[junior tusk]

No i dont like the game i Just wanted to have it in my steam library as deco

Also gta IV ending is mid imo

[radiant mulch]

... what

[junior tusk]

Was kinda planning to waste the Money yk

Just let it collect dust ykwim

[radiant mulch]

starving children in africa:

[junior tusk]

Well no because im giving the money to plague inc devs

[winter spear]

@slow berry @indigo cave sorry for tagging but what PSU do I get?

[indigo cave]

something that doesn't explode (avoid gigabyte)

did you select your case already?

[slow berry]

Should be 600W
Other than that idk

[indigo cave]

600W or higher*

[glad furnace]

Apparently its actually projected to go down

[indigo cave]

it fell a little recently but I do not have hope

[glad furnace]

Because google did something that super heavily increased efficiency and cost

[acoustic orchid]

Unfortunately, and now recently oil prices are sky rocketing.

[glad furnace]

For ai
Not that i like ai but efficiency going up because its gonna go down

[junior tusk]

Might be related to sora ai being shut down

[glad furnace]

Thats also lowering it because openai didnt buy like 30b dollars of nonexistent ram they said they were gonna buy

[acoustic orchid]

NGL, I am not against AI. But this isn't the way to do it. IMO they should've made better special ram for AI.

[sour void]

Imagine if Morrowind was real and you could have a pet scrib or a pet mudcrab, and handfeed them little morsels of lettuce and cheese.

[winter spear]

would the Ryzen 5 7500 F pair well with the 9060 XT?

[indigo cave]

oof that is a significant cut from your earlier plan

[winter spear]

yeah I couldn't find the 7600X3D

[winter spear]

but is really all that worse?

[indigo cave]

hmm well same cores but lower clocks and you lose the big cache

what's the price difference for you?

7600 maybe 7600X might be ok

[winter spear]

you know what? I found these exact 2

As far as I'm concerned, Krafton are a bunch of nerds, the devs are a bunch of badasses, and theyre the only ones I'm listening to

Anything Krafton says can be written onto toilet paper and used appropriately

[rocky field]

1.21.1 is pretty nice imo

[wheat falcon]

[rocky field]

good balance of recent additions and updated mods but then again i havent tested many other versions

[inland shuttle]

Good evening my dear, I come with good news, I've got a month off work to try and sort out my health :3

I hope you're well and doing fine

[fair raft]

I'm glad you've got a month off to take care of yourself! Don't go do anything crazy though, no work doesn't mean going to climb a mountain or joining a paintballing league or finding Atlantis or whatever

[fair raft]

Just studying, as always :( how are you doing, besides the good news?

[inland shuttle]

It's mostly, try to not drink as much, lmao

[inland shuttle]

Well, pretty good, kinda disappointed by the quality of the world cup, but also I've been playing a lot of pirates online, so, keeping me happy. I am a little worried I just won't slow down drinking but, hey ho, just gotta try my best.

and yourself dear?

[junior tusk]

Ive been reading books of old

am kinda busy rn

[inland shuttle]

memes aside, pizza hud is mid af imo
I'm more of a papa johns guy
and like a guilty pleasure of mine is going to a local like 2 pizzas for £8 place, like the greasiest almost 3 times the amount of cheese and sauce that it should have type of pizzas lmao

[junior tusk]

I just get frozen pizza and heat it up in the oven

[mental heath]

Hot take? Little Ceasers is amazing.

[placid aspen]

hello chat

[mental heath]

Probably even better than a lot of other pizza chains.

[inland shuttle]

also idc what anyone says, I know theres some logic behind it, but dominoes sides are too damn expensive

[mental heath]

Oh agreed.

[inland shuttle]

like 5 chicken strips is like half the cost of a large pizza, its lunacy

madness even

[fair raft]

Hottest take... I really don't like pizza :( I hate grease, and the cheese has a very weird texture to me

[versed spruce]

Is this really a hot take? A lot of people I know love it

[mental heath]

The grease is the best part!

I'd drink that straight out of a cup if I could.

[fair raft]

I think I would actually cry

The ONLY good part about pizza to me is the crust, just because it's basically fluffy bread

[half socket]

I don't like it when my pizza is drowning in grease

[silk trout]

There’s uh….actually like 7-8 if we’re just talking mainline

Is Halo 3: ODST considered a mainline title?

I’m not sure

[inland shuttle]

I consider it mainline, its my favourite of the series, and it has the best model for the smg

[inland shuttle]

For me its like "drunk food" if you catch my drift
Like if you gave me a crate of carling and the two unhealthiest takeout pizzas in the world, to me thats a good night

Otherwise I typically like a thin base cheese and tomato, with a side of rocket salad, and a glass of elderflower presse

[fair raft]

I know there are really good pizza places in the city, when you come visit I gueeeeeeeeeess we can go get some, and try to find whatever a rocket salad is

[inland shuttle]

I guess I should just call it rocket lettuce, its hardly an actual salad
But that'd be wonderful. Then we can eat whatever food your favourite is next :3

[fair raft]

I'm dragging you to the Reading Terminal Market, they have sooooo many yummy sweets there!!

And actual food too I guess, but TREATS

[inland shuttle]

I do like treats. Could never turn down a chocolate brownie for desert whenever ive been out

Honestly I'm surprised I'm as skinny as I am

Also, I've just gotta say it, bare in mind I love veggie burgers and I used to be a pure vegetarian.
Broccoli on pizza is a crime against humanity.

[versed spruce]

Who the hell

[inland shuttle]

Dude I have seen and had it multiple times.

[fair raft]

I like steamed broccoli on pizza (if I have to eat pizza), but I don't like it when it's cooked with the pizza if that makes sense?

[inland shuttle]

Nah that makes sense, I guess the clash of different textures could feel weird

I dont mind sweetcorn on pizza tbh

but I've had a lot of "vegetarian" pizzas around friends and family, and frankly I think, just have a plain pizza

[junior tusk]

Are you still a vegetarian

[inland shuttle]

No, unless its a necessity, I only eat meat I know comes from farmers I know, and the butchers I know are supplied from them

I just dont like the unethical treatment of animals, factory farming and all that. I don't have any problem with eating meat.

But I'm not gonna stand here and say I've never gotten some nuggets from McDonalds after a few drinks

Ain't a hypocrite about it. And also, couldn't care less if someone doesn't do the same thing, good and bad in a persons heart isn't split by liking a burger lmao

Gotta say though, veggie burgers are just damn tasty to me

[stray blaze]

There's nothing ethical about raising people in a cage to murder them for an unnecessary snack even if the cage is large enough to be a pasture tbh

[inland shuttle]

I mean it is logical, its efficient, smaller space required, also means lower energy costs, plus you can make an automated system for them to be fed by a machine, so don't have to hire people to take care of them. You could even make the case, more product, means cheaper food, which means less hungry people, which is good (even though there's cheaper options than chicken wings).

What worries me is that, how we treat them, says more about us than we like to admit.
We're supposed to be humanity, just and fair. If we treat other living things like slaves, maybe we havent changed that much in the past hundreds of years.

But above all, it's just kind.

[stray blaze]

More product doesn't mean cheaper food. More food goes into feeding them than is returned by murdering them and harvesting their flesh. We could feed far more people on plant-based diets

[inland shuttle]

Oh its a complete farce of an argument. Like given the context of how much food waste we produce, its complete bs.
Especially because supermarkets, instead of donating leftover food, slash its packaging before throwing it out, so the homeless cant eat it.

[versed spruce]

This is out of my expertise unfortunately

[fair raft]

Bluh, every time I think about the meat industry in general, it reminds me of how awful of a species humanity is :( what makes us any more ‘deserving’ of basic natural rights than animals? What makes us better? And how can we justify killing so many animals just to eat food we like more, when we absolutely could sustain ourselves on a plant-based diet?

[stray blaze]

It's the dairy and egg industry too

[inland shuttle]

I mean the sad thing is, I could maybe be okay if some humanitarian organization built a factory farm in a starving country.
But its all in the bloody richest countries on earth .-.

[stray blaze]

All 3 overlap and all 3 are horrific. Frankly a case could be made that dairy is even worse

[stray blaze]

Gotta love the industry just turning into a race to be as cheap and profitable as possible or you'll be run out of business by the others, thus making it impossible to really even set up those farms in starving countries while concurrently making the situation worse and worse exponentially for the people being raised and murdered in the system ;-;

[inland shuttle]

quick aside: my favourite burger/pizza topping is diced red pepper

[stray blaze]

I have to go with mushroom tbh

Never tried red pepper on either

[inland shuttle]

Well I specified humanitarian, I shouldve also said if it was run by humanitarians

like if it was to be used to supply soup kitchens and stuff

[stray blaze]

Damn

Lemme retype rq

I still feel like it would be much harder to get like, "stock" and all the stuff that's gonna be needed to run that cause they won't be profitable enough or whatever given it's such a viscous industry but idk really

[inland shuttle]

well being humanitarians, presumably (if it was possible), from donation and government aid

and also, the profits from suing the <censored> out of Nestle for trying to "own the water" .-.

[stray blaze]

hopefully;-;

Though regardless plant farms are uhhh better ✨, less death and torture and all that

[inland shuttle]

like idk if you remember that but the actual CEO of nestle said they own the water, and its not a human right
and then backpeddled HARD lmao

[stray blaze]

hopefully;-;

Though regardless plant farms are uhhh better ✨, less death and all that

[inland shuttle]

I suppose, I mean I like to garden, which I've always found weird how its seen as like "girly". Like first of all, its dirty work, second youre using tools, and third you're providing food for yourself/family.

[stray blaze]

Garden = home = woman or something

It can be pretty girly or pretty manly depending on the aesthetic you bring imo

[inland shuttle]

I suppose some people plant flowers and some people plant potatoes

[stray blaze]

That and like, just the vibe and all. Girly vibes and such

[inland shuttle]

I mean the funny part to me is if someone calls it girly to me and I'm there like, you do remember I'm a former karate instructor and can put you on your but right .-.

[versed spruce]

I plant flowers to eat and potatoes to make my garden look pretty

[inland shuttle]

.-. well someone, not saying who, might be utterly insane

Think about it this way, every potato you grow, is ammunition for a co2 fed potato cannon

which when you think about it, is just a riot shotgun firing bean bag rounds

protect your community, grow potato

[stray blaze]

Marx approved

[inland shuttle]

Actually crap, gotta admit something, there is one animal product I eat even though I'm 99% isnt ethically sourced
heinz chicken soup

[stray blaze]

Heinz?

[inland shuttle]

its a brand

[stray blaze]

Aren't they like

Ketchup?

[inland shuttle]

yeah but they also make soup and stuff

[stray blaze]

oh............

[lavish citrus]

heinz does lots of things

[stray blaze]

I typed like 5 different responses to this but all I can really say is "oh". This is really large news to me

[inland shuttle]

#memes-and-media message
I guess I am a hypocrite but frankly, considering how much I support animal welfare, damn god does it lift my spirits on a cold or bad day

[stray blaze]

Oh my

[lavish citrus]

lots of companies do odd things

a code inspection at a kodak plant found weapons grade uranium in their basement

that was a few years ago tho

[stray blaze]

Well this is how I learn Heinz is Kraft Heinz and actually a massive conglomerate. My life is shattered

[inland shuttle]

yeah you know general electric, the guys who make washing machines and stuff?
They also make the m134 minigun for the US's military helicopters...

[lavish citrus]

and the gau 8

ge does a ton of cool stuff

the ge 90 is one of the largest turbofans ever made

[stray blaze]

GE are based though. Heinz are supposed to just be the ketchup

[lavish citrus]

they built a nuclear jet engine once too

[inland shuttle]

Yeah and its funny cause I guess when you think about it, a washing machine spins and cleans things
The m134 minigun... Spins and cleans things .-.

[stray blaze]

Cleans up all of its friendly troops is what it does

[lavish citrus]

has bro been watching russianbadger?

[inland shuttle]

nah I learnt about it from a different thing lemme find it

[inland shuttle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbB-6LMF788&pp=ygUJZ3VuIHJhbnRz

watched this years ago

the guys bloody hillarious and a vet

[lavish citrus]

based

[inland shuttle]

plus the footage is of them playing fallout new vegas, one of my favourite games of all time

[lavish citrus]

also based

[stray blaze]

I wanna play new vegas

[lavish citrus]

eat your bagels first

[stray blaze]

I bought it from the steam sale for very cheap but i'm scared to play it cause i've never played any other fallout and I don't know if it's good to start with that

[stray blaze]

Bagel is my fursona's name, that would be traumatizing 😭

[lavish citrus]

oh hell nah

[inland shuttle]

my dude, unironically you wont get like maybe 2% of the references, its basically a standalone game
and starting from fallout 3 when bethesda got the ip, the lore is basically new, compared to the originals

[haughty ember]

Does UW own the game now? I saw that the publisher no longer says Krafton on it ( thankfully ).

[lavish citrus]

no they never have

the ip belongs to krafton

they just have control over release

[inland shuttle]

Nah theyre still the publishers, I think its just, "they wont have influence on the games development"

[stray blaze]

I see. Do you think it would run well on a non-gaming laptop?

[haughty ember]

Damn it

[inland shuttle]

if its a modern laptop thats in fine condition, yeah

[stray blaze]

Yippee!

[inland shuttle]

frankly the thing basically could run on a potato

[stray blaze]

Poor GLaDOS

[lavish citrus]

beat me to it

[inland shuttle]

doesnt mean its not gonna be buggy though! just to warn you. The engine bethesda made is just naturally buggy af

[stray blaze]

Bugging in a charming or annoying way?

[inland shuttle]

and I dont mean like, breaks the game buggy, more like... Oh, that person just walked through a wall, buggy

[inland shuttle]

99% its funny

[stray blaze]

Peak

[inland shuttle]

1% its annoying, but its mostly like. Oh, I shot that man and his body flew into the sky... Goodbye space person .-.

The story and writing is peak though

[lavish citrus]

spaaaace

[inland shuttle]

god dammit we're overloading on portal references

i cant keep up

[lavish citrus]

just like the reactor

[stray blaze]

Reactors tbh

[inland shuttle]

Oh my god, I'm remembering just how much I loved Wheatley

[lavish citrus]

the part where i kill you!

[inland shuttle]

Also just to clarify, Fallout 1/2, if youre not above the age of 35 at this point. Theyre not fun games.

[stray blaze]

They're not?

[inland shuttle]

Like I love them cause I'm a nerd. But theyre unironically very frustrating

[boreal snow]

H

[lavish citrus]

....mor onic?

[lavish citrus]

I

[inland shuttle]

Imagine a DnD game, but the game master sets a timer, and if you dont finish the story, youve gotta do it all over again. That's fallout 1.

[stray blaze]

Which games are good then?

[inland shuttle]

Honestly if youre gonna play 1 or 2, I'd recommend keeping their wiki's open

[stray blaze]

I kinda feel like I have to play 1 and 2 tbh. Like i've never played fallout or known too too much (intentionally) about it but it still managed to become really important to me, so it feels important that I experience it all when I eventually can

[inland shuttle]

3 is good
new vegas is 3 but with better writing
4 is goofier, worse writing (like much worse), but it has the best combat BY FAR

best of the old games is 2

1, you can play if you want, but i would follow a guide

playing 1 is like trying to finish minecraft if youve never heard of it before, like trying to figure out crafting recipes and what coal is used for, without knowing what youre doing its just frustrating

cause in 1, the entire time, youre literally on a timer, and if that timer hits 0, game over

[stray blaze]

So like 3 NV 4 would be the best order experience?

[inland shuttle]

I'll put it this way too.
If you don't know where you're going. You are practically guaranteed to lose. Because the timer runs out.

[inland shuttle]

I'd say so. If I could do it, id do 3, nv, then either 2 or 4, but probably 4 then 2

[stray blaze]

What's even like.. being timed? Radiation sickness or something?

[inland shuttle]

So this isnt a spoiler cause its literally the opening of the game. But, your vault's water chip has broken, and they only have the reserve water storage left, youre sent out to find a replacement water chip. You have x amount of days, if that day hits 0, automatic game over.

Plus, you dont have map marker icons, so you basically just run around, and youre basically gonna lose on time

It's a game meant for old old pc's, it doesnt have the storage to be anything other than what's basically a roguelike

[stray blaze]

What the hell is a water chip?

[inland shuttle]

I'd say this though, the best part of 3/nv/4, are the DLC's. Imo the best are:
In 3 you have point lookout, in NV you have Old World Blues, in 4 you have Far Harbor

[inland shuttle]

It's a electrical device that can just make water, or idk it recycles water

Either way they die without it

[stray blaze]

Contrived plot device be like

[lavish citrus]

this is the sn server

[inland shuttle]

It's like science fiction, everythings contrived lol

[lavish citrus]

bro cannot be talking 😭

[stray blaze]

that's uhm different

[inland shuttle]

In fallout 4's far harbor dlc the main enemies are a bunch of angry fish people

See, its clearly related

[rocky field]

i've dug myself into such a deep hole

[lavish citrus]

lol

poorly timed 😭

[stray blaze]

See they always say you dig a hole but it's like.. just flood it and swim out idk

[rocky field]

comedic timing at its finest i suppose

[rocky field]

if i flood it i'll drown

[stray blaze]

Hold your breath

[rocky field]

theres like no easy way to get out

[rocky field]

eventually i'll run out of air too

okay bit of context

[stray blaze]

Flood is slowly so you'll just be carried out as you float

it*

[inland shuttle]

I did find it funny when I started lifesaver training and it was a requirement we swam with clothes on

lemme tell ya, pick the wrong shirt and it gets heavy

[lavish citrus]

swimming in shoes is weird af

[stray blaze]

I mean if you fall into water with clothes on the shoes should just be ditched before you do anything anyway

[inland shuttle]

depends which stroke youre swimming in, breaststroke isnt bad in shoes

[stray blaze]

Was messing with my septum jewlery and ow

Bad decision

[lavish citrus]

trend died

[stray blaze]

But like that assumes you're level headed enough to be picking the right strokes and stuff, and it's probably easier to remember to just ditch shoes when panicking after falling in than it is to remember to do breaststroke and all unless you're familiar with strokes enough

[boreal snow]

In Australia we have like 20 fish that will kill yiu if you step on them and we still don’t wear shoes while swimming, it’s a good idea to though, if you step on a stonefish you’re gone

Idk why we don’t it’s really quite stupid

[lavish citrus]

you're australian tho

[boreal snow]

Yah

[lavish citrus]

that's completely different

[boreal snow]

Australia is like British Florida

[lavish citrus]

exactly

[soft jackal]

There's a free PS5 on my local marketplace, today on april 1

[boreal snow]

You’re going to go meet up with them and they’ll take your organs

[lavish citrus]

offer him a ps-5

[soft jackal]

Do I need organs?

[boreal snow]

If it’s on fb you’re gonna go grab it and they’ll knock u out and take ur liver

[stray blaze]

It depends... like to play on the PS5? Yes

[inland shuttle]

I mean, I am though, like I'm a trained lifeguard (kinda, only did 70% of the training lmao), came first in my secondary school in the front crawl race
Besides youre not gonna instantly sink, and your body is gonna want you to get to the surface asap, so once you do you gasp for air, and look for the closest thing to hold onto or place to get out of. I mean hell, theres a reason we're taught to kick drowning people away if they dont calm down, cause we're gonna be the thing to hold onto

You get em to lay on their back whilst you have two fingers under their chin, and you kinda do a breaststroke but with just the one arm and at like a 45 degree angle (forgot the name)

then when you em to the side, you just keep them there and wait for help, or until they catch their breath

[stray blaze]

I mean yeahhh but like i'm saying if one kinda falls in randomly with clothes the shoes and jackets gotta go frfr

Funny story about the latter half of your message though. My sperm donor was a kampfschwimmer and has said multiple times that during his service he would swim up to drowning people to rescue them and if they started trying to grab on he would just smack them very hard in the head hard enough they go limp and then he swims them over to shore. Dunno how true that is but it's what he's talked about proudly in the past lol

[inland shuttle]

I mean I doubt it, from someone whos hit a lot of people in the head, that seems like complete bs, like complete

thats not really how it works

but i wouldnt be surprised if he didnt kick the hell out of them

thatd make sense

[lavish citrus]

bro would have to have one heck of a slap for that to work

[stray blaze]

I mean he was presumably very good with it given the line of work

[lavish citrus]

snort

[lavish citrus]

pair the first line of this with that sentence you just sent

second line ig

[stray blaze]

He does certainly also exaggerate to try to sound cool but he's a very large man

[inland shuttle]

Literally fought before, if you knock someone out and theyre unconscious for the time itd take to swim to shore whilst hauling another person. Yeah, theyre dead.

[stray blaze]

I don't think he ever said they were out the whole time as much as it made them stop to be fair

My memory of his wording is fuzzy

He's also the guy who loved to brag about how when alarms would sound for drills he'd run down the hall and everyone knew to get out of his way or he'd just run them down and stuff so he's like... really in love with making himself sound "cool"

[inland shuttle]

Eh, know the type

I mean it's weird to me cause those type of guys tend to accuse me of doing exactly that

the insecurity is just, weird

half the stories I have to tell is just me doing "cool" stuff, thats actually just me being like, dude I have several character flaws .-.

but yeah if someones drowning its always better to like throw a rope than get in grabbing range, and if you have to, just approach them with your leg out in front ready to push them back

people do crazy things when theyre freaking out

[stray blaze]

Oh he also loves to brag about how he was the medic and one time they were fast roping onto a vessel and halfway down they turned their lights off so he misjudged the drop and hurt his legs and the other men were sooo mad that they just went ham on the guys and stuff cause nobody hurts the medic. He's a very interesting character...

[inland shuttle]

Sounds like an ahole

No offense

[stray blaze]

Oh he's far worse than that

Horrible narcissist who I truly wish the worst but he does tell funny stories

He's also got more tame ones like passing an American vessel and all of the crew would like huddled to the side of the ship holding out their beer while the Americans were scowling cause their ships are dry

Tame as in more believable

[inland shuttle]

I mean I'll brag about fighting all day but only like, competition fighting. If you hit someone unconsensually like come on man

[inland shuttle]

The guy must have quite the imagination

[stray blaze]

Oh he also loves to talk about how his ship was in this Egyptian strait or something and there were these strict no photography signs everyone and everybody was just taking photos anyway cause the guns on the ship outweighed the whole military in the area or something like that so they don't need to follow the rules

Sorry i'm like suddenly remembering all the random stuff he said

Wildest stories

[lavish citrus]

brother what

that's like... not even a little bit how that works

[inland shuttle]

yeah it just doesnt add up

[stray blaze]

The logic is just "what are they gonna do?" ig

[inland shuttle]

at least with my stories, especially the really screwed up ones, you can kinda tell theyre true

[stray blaze]

He never really talked about his really screwed up ones though from the one I have heard, the screwed up stuff sounds very believable. It's mainly about his time as a volunteer firefighter though. I guess he just likes to make up sillier ones? Idk, regardless it's funny

[inland shuttle]

Well theres no harm in finding entertainment in fiction

but I do think theres harm in passing off fiction, about serious topics, as reality

[stray blaze]

Eh I mean at least he never advertises stuff like punching drowning people as advice

omg this reminded me

[inland shuttle]

like I cant tell you know many lads ive known who thinks they can "win" in a knife fight, cause some stupid story they heard, or some movie they saw
in a knife fight, 100% of the time, youre both getting cut
In a knife fight, the only way you "win", is by booking it away as fast as you bloody can

[stray blaze]

One time in Scouts I was uh being forced to co-run some medical teaching station thing and this other guy was asking the kids what we should do for heatstroke. He explained the best thing is to submerge them in a body of water if possible to cool them off

I combated that and argued that's just begging for shock to which he agreed before explaining we want to put people in shock as it's easier to treat

The kids then decided he was more trustworthy, ignored my pushing against that, and took his word as gospel and I haven't forgotten that

[lavish citrus]

nobody wins in a knife fight

only difference is one dies on the road and the other dies in the hospital

[stray blaze]

Unless you're Paul Hogan

[stray blaze]

Being in the hospital is a win at least compared to what would've happened in the past where you'd just both die from infection imo

[lavish citrus]

no you still die

[stray blaze]

You've more of a chance not to

[lavish citrus]

edited for clarity

[stray blaze]

Compared to doubling in rapier at least

[stray blaze]

I cannot type tonight

[lavish citrus]

crippled either way

[stray blaze]

That's uhm

[lavish citrus]

it's stupid easy to do a ton of tendon damage

[stray blaze]

Hurtful terminology to use

[lavish citrus]

?

[stray blaze]

Saying you'd end up disabled or whatnot is more appropriate

Cripple is a slur

[lavish citrus]

when used to refer to someone yes

"a crippling mistake" less so

[stray blaze]

Well a crippling mistake is different terminology from saying you'd like end up crippled or some sentence like that

[lavish citrus]

ehhh... debatable but oky

[inland shuttle]

now in fairness, every single time we make a new word to refer to people who're mentally or physically disabled, 10 years later it's been made into a slur, and we change it again

its all kinda pointless

[stray blaze]

I think that tracks with people learning more about disability and the harms of disregarding or belittling it and stuff

But disabled isn't a harmful word like things that were used dehumanizingly before are

[inland shuttle]

Okay that's just the english language being completely dumb, there are so many examples, like for instance
If I got fired for getting caught putting soccer shoes in the back of my car
That could be, "I got booted for putting boots in my boot"

like its a really dumb language sometimes lmao

[stray blaze]

I would say the difference is that when you make a crippling mistake at work when you like.. I dunno, filed something wrong, that's not referring to disability

[inland shuttle]

I think its more of a culture thing, like over here we don't call actual disabled people the r word, but we do call each other it when we act dumb. I dont think I've ever actually seen a disabled person get offended over it.

[inland shuttle]

Well a crippling mistake is a literal term, the mistake you made crippled you or something else. It's not directed at a person.

Really the problem is only with people referring to someone with the verb, "cripple"

[stray blaze]

To say something crippled you in that it gave you a disability would be a slur but to say it crippled your defense or something is not using it as a slur basically

[lavish citrus]

people take such issue with the straight truth now it's kinda annoying

like i get it but brother what

i don't mean to offend or anything but am i wrong?

[stray blaze]

The problem is the word and the weight it carries. Cripple and disabled person refer to the same truth, the problem is not the truth as much as it is the use of a harmful word (if i'm understanding your message right)

[inland shuttle]

You are aware, it can be a literal medical diagnosis, right?
I guess if its casually said in a casual setting, but at least over here, its to refer specifically to the disability of not being able to walk, instead of a general just "disability"

[stray blaze]

That's a problematic diagnosis name, then

[lavish citrus]

breh

[stray blaze]

Somebody who can't walk is a non-ambulatory wheelchair user or just a person with a physical disability making walking impossible

[supple karma]

Hello.

[indigo cave]

Hi, how are we on this topic again?

[stray blaze]

Not being able to walk isn't a single disability anyway. Tons of things can cause that

[stray blaze]

Something about knives? Don't quite remember honestly

[lavish citrus]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stray blaze]

Ello

[inland shuttle]

That's why crippled, only refers to not being able to walk, due to physical injury?

[supple karma]

Oh hey I’m disabled too.

[lavish citrus]

you'd end up crippled at least in a knife fight was the inital meaning

[glad furnace]

This chat has severe adhd (i dont even know what the topic is)

[stray blaze]

That's really a bad word to use though. Like it is a slur and one should instead say things like, assuming they're in a wheelchair, that they're a wheelchair user or non-ambulatory wheelchair user. Or like again just a disabled person without the ability to walk due to physical injury. Wheelchair user or non-ambulatory are probably the shortest ways to say that for brevity. But in general that's an offensive word to disabled folks

[stray blaze]

Real

[supple karma]

Gosh this is reminding me I need to invest in mobility aids lol.

[sterile heron]

I think the topic is anything and everything not subnautica

[stray blaze]

Omg real. They need to be cheaper fr

[supple karma]

Yeah the Walgreens brand wheelchair is $100.

[indigo cave]

I will say, I've never heard this particular word referred to as a slur. We had an incident just yesterday where someone got real mad that we filter a different word referring to those with cerebral palsy, and made a couple alts about it. If you would like to bring up the possibility that it should be discouraged officially, please DM our community manager, Donya. She'll get back to you at some point.

However, I'd prefer if this was the last message about this topic. I would like to keep the peace.

But why

[versed spruce]

For the purposes one would need a pastry

[stray blaze]

I'll pay you 1 trillion credits for a pastry

[inland shuttle]

Oooh which ones though?
wait is a sausage roll a pastry?

[stray blaze]

Anything's a pastry if you put your mind to it

We should get the ability to make our own submarines I would be spending my whole time building one

Like the corvettes in NMS but with submarines in Subnautica

[rocky field]

i think i just wrote the most heartbreaking piece of writing i've ever written

[rocky field]

australia

[foggy night]

If subnautica was procedurally generated and had far and deep oceans then yeah that'd be cool fr

But map too small to bother wid dat

[foggy night]

Gimmie

[rocky field]

are you sure

it's focused on a very heavy topic

[foggy night]

I am sure

I appreciate torturing my mind with heartbreaking content

[rocky field]

allllright then

[rocky field]

sent

[foggy night]

Preciate it

[rocky field]

np

and thank you for being the first to read it lol

anyways good night fellow breathers i may return in the morrow

[gilded drum]

Fair

[runic prawn]

guys what if this was added in subnautica 2

[gilded drum]

a swear word?!

[runic prawn]

its from 11 years ago

[gilded drum]

I know, but still. A rare sight

[runic prawn]

before big brother started watching this server 😔

ah yes, monolith

[acoustic orchid]

But she isn't Australian, no?

[acoustic orchid]

Since when was family friendly rule added?

[runic prawn]

2020

wait when did krafton aquire unknown worlds again? like 2021 or smth?

[runic prawn]

may i introduce you to the concept of general chats

[topaz lake]

off the walls, even off the topic

[runic prawn]

guess what channel this is

[topaz lake]

🤯

[drowsy adder]

a lot were allowed before 2024

[inland shuttle]

Meow

That was cat racism for, I think orange cats are stupid

… I just realised I think mine is still under my bed

No, we’re all good!

[peak spruce]

I need to be careful when mentioning a specific Shotgun

[topaz lake]

calico?

[peak spruce]

The one used in Halflife

Dont say it without connecting the -12

Or at all idk if it counts as avoiding automod even though its something completely different

[topaz lake]

how did you figure this out

what made you bring up said shotgun (also used in jurassic park I think)

[drowsy adder]

what does that even mean
the word i mean

[topaz lake]

don't know and don't trust urban dictionary

[peak spruce]

I dont exactly know actually

[peak spruce]

I got automodded recently When I was talking about it

[drowsy adder]

uncalled for slander

[inland shuttle]

I miss the old Jurassic park tycoon games

The newer ones kinda suck

Well, they’re underwhelming

I have decided to cheat at poker in a video game so that I can win at video game
I apparently still have the mind of a child .-.

[raven wing]

Just saw The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

It was peak. Solid 8/10 in my books. It was just really really good.

Star Fox was actually the peakest peak ever no notes he was perfect, they did him so much justice.

And [Redacted] looks awesome. Can't wait to see ||her|| in the next Movie.

[drowsy adder]

Solid 4/5 or 8/10
chai tea

[raven wing]

Idk why I spoilered star fox be was in the trailers

[raven wing]

I just realised, I'll change it

[inland shuttle]

I’m starting to think a thought

The scariest giant creature, would be a Leviathan Seagull

Think about it

To them… we’re just someone’s fish and chips… and we’re the chips ;-;

Just be walking about and boom, snatch, seagull noises, your friend is gone

Truly it is an apocalyptic scenario

[lyric orbit]

A flying Leviathan would be absolutely crazy

[spiral igloo]

jurassic park builder?

[inland shuttle]

Was the dinosaur dlc of zoo tycoon

Annnnd I’m officially a boomer

[boreal snow]

sorry only English here

@crude vault is there no international channel?

[runic prawn]

there is no cause uhh idk man

[boreal snow]

There should be one

We must campaign for #international-general

[gilded jasper]

No, we do not have any non-English channels as it's impossible for us to moderate it as we do not have mods that speak every language. Officially, the server is English only.

[boreal snow]

That makes sense lowkey

[gilded jasper]

You can see all all that here https://discord.com/channels/85342800492634112/695291318683041793

[crude vault]

No. We can't moderate other languages. We'd need a much much larger mod team covering every language we allowed 24/7

Oh sorry aryon didn't see your response from the tag

[boreal snow]

Lmao

[alpine light]

Hi

[acoustic orchid]

this is international channel lol

Via, there are people from other nations.

[acoustic orchid]

A bit off topic but...

Why isn't blood kelp bigger?

[peak spruce]

Technically thats on topic

[runic prawn]

[inland shuttle]

Meow meow, meow, meow…

Take that, mods! Fight the power!

[runic prawn]

[inland shuttle]

Wait why would blood kelp be bigger? Isn’t planted kelp and blood kelp the same size

[boreal snow]

Bro no you said the wrong syllable and said a slur

[inland shuttle]

The slur was on purpose!
Meow!

[boreal snow]

MEOW meow meow

[inland shuttle]

Do not talk about my mother that way 😠

[peak spruce]

I get offended when I watch people do Pushups

[boreal snow]

MeeeOW

[inland shuttle]

… okay, I feel like I’m gonna need some more context here

[peak spruce]

[gilded jasper]

What was I pinged for now?

[peak spruce]

[runic prawn]

"A bit off topic but...

Why isn't blood kelp bigger?"
probably

(didnt ping)

[junior tusk]

.

[ornate plover]

please don't ping the devs, you can disable the ping when replying with the @ on the right, or shift-clicking reply

[acoustic orchid]

fair enough.

[distant horizon]

no april fools is the april fool

[ornate plover]

aryon didn't work on sn1 either

[ornate plover]

that's my kind of april fools

[acoustic orchid]

bru. Then who did (won't ping, but I wanna know the devs who develop sn1 so I can ask them later)

[acoustic orchid]

You didn't place any april fools joke yet.

[ornate plover]

I don't know who the level designer was that made the biome size decision for sn1

[acoustic orchid]

I can understand cat language. SO I can partially. (cuz I have kitties)

[acoustic orchid]

Complicated.

[harsh rain]

happy april fools day i guess?

[boreal snow]

Artyom?

[boreal snow]

Sn2 releases tmrw!

[ornate plover]

nah artyom joined the team as a level designer for sn2

[acoustic orchid]

they just announce that Krafton won the lawsuit and now is delaying subnautica 2 for a full decade.

[boreal snow]

Full decade? Was confirmed to be atleast 25 years

Cause Anthony in prison now, remember?

[acoustic orchid]

GTA VI is going to still be in development by then BTW

[boreal snow]

So they have to delay it for the duration of his sentence

[acoustic orchid]

And Ted is being forced to pay a fine of 500 million credits

[boreal snow]

500 trillion

[acoustic orchid]

He now has outstanding dept of 1 quadrillion credits

[boreal snow]

ruh roh

[acoustic orchid]

Also subnautica 1 is announced to have a remix.

Which is just going to be a map peppered with geysers that can 1 shot your cyclops.

[ornate plover]

good I hate the cyclops

[runic prawn]

same tbh

its just
eh ig?

[ornate plover]

yup

[boreal snow]

Yeah and the score is to be written by the surviving members of Nirvana

[acoustic orchid]

IRL subs are like... 5 times the reaper or larger.

Or at least war subs are.

[runic prawn]

250 meters is insane but ok

[acoustic orchid]

Carriers are larger.

[foggy night]

Make it 1km for good measure

And let AI control it

Surely everything will go well

[acoustic orchid]

They also announced that cyclops will be the only starting vehicle and there will be larger subs.

[runic prawn]

okay but the cyclops aint a carrier

[acoustic orchid]

Fair enough.

[runic prawn]

nah, Let ai make the design of it and its concept, surely the investors will be happy

[acoustic orchid]

They also announced that you will have at max 100 days to beat the game before ||kharaa|| kills you.

[acoustic orchid]

Also make sure for AI to remake reaper.

[foggy night]

20$ a month production cost, 2 billion $ damage repair

[runic prawn]

yes because that will be incredibly profitable! (trust fr)

[foggy night]

We're so cooked

[acoustic orchid]

And surely gamers won't quit the game.

[foggy night]

We are so so cooked

[acoustic orchid]

It's april 1st dawg.

The only day where we can spread misinformation and lies in this server.

[foggy night]

I should have said AI will save us

Sorry

[peak spruce]

Chat I need a Letter

[foggy night]

H

[peak spruce]

Alrigt

[foggy night]

Stands for Homing missile

[acoustic orchid]

F

[peak spruce]

I’m only doing one letter

[foggy night]

What fo

[peak spruce]

For now at least

You’ll figure it out

[foggy night]

Okeh

[runic prawn]

bros apppeasing to the investors fr

[foggy night]

The investors should put all their money in my new AI girlfriend gambling app

A promising startup project

Anyways, I cant make April fools jokes, because I spread misinformation for work

[harsh rain]

i can't belive i started this XD

[junior tusk]

started what

[harsh rain]

april fools day jokes just by saying "happy april fools day i guess?"

[ornate plover]

gonna be non-stop "subnautica 2 releases today" pranks today

[peak spruce]

For sure

[foggy night]

Uninspiring

Uninspired

Uninstalling discord

[acoustic orchid]

Ima go outside to touch grass. Toodles

[peak spruce]

Can barely call tem pranks toug

[foggy night]

Ign already started early

Now everyone is convinced the game comes out in may

When even an official release date could be delayed later on

[runic prawn]

yipeee

[runic prawn]

true fr fr fr

[junior tusk]

...wheres the april fools part

[boreal snow]

Earth being the only known planet to host life is crazy.

It’s just so weird to me how there’s this crazy expansive universe and we’re cool enough to have the only planet with animals and stuff

[drowsy adder]

well on an galactic scale our fov is really small

[boreal snow]

We like a baby grain of sand cut in half

[drowsy adder]

fov as in how far a planet can be that we can still analyze enough to determine life

[boreal snow]

Oh yeah true

[drowsy adder]

like there cant be that many planets we could detect life on if there was

[boreal snow]

I don’t think any planets but ours have terrestrial or aquatic life

Bacteria and evidence of microscopic organisms, could do

[drowsy adder]

plus this also explains why aliens havent contacted us realistically

[boreal snow]

But living or past animals like a deer or fish doesn’t seem logical to me

[drowsy adder]

even if they have technology anywhere near ours, im p sure the farthest messages we've sent out were like radiowaves from the 1930s or something

so if theyre over 100 ly from us that literally hasnt reached them

[junior tusk]

that isnt true.
when i was outside out in a field i saw a weird flying object in the sky and the suddenly a green beam shot out of the bottom and something got sucked into it
after that it just disappeared

also a alien called zygon called me

[inland shuttle]

As today is the day of pranks and mischief. I have decided to start a new subnautica run, in which I will spawn in with a Avtomat Kalashnikova 7.62x39mm AK47.

For the ultimate funny

[runic prawn]

#memes-and-media

[peak spruce]

I prefer te M4A1 loaded with 5.56x45mm

Less penetration but it’s ligter and gets the job done

[inland shuttle]

NATO ammunition is harder to come by

[peak spruce]

And it’s more accurate

[peak spruce]

Not really

[inland shuttle]

Well maybe if you’re an American national, I’m a pirate however

[peak spruce]

Plenty of NATO and Non NATO countries use 5.56

[inland shuttle]

But it’s often purchased legally

[peak spruce]

Civilians can Purcase many ammo types legally

[polar kelp]

5.45x39 might be more common since AK-style rifles are much more prevalent if we’re talking from an availability perspective

[peak spruce]

No 5.45x39 is rare as ell

If you live outside of Russia

[boreal snow]

This is a scary chat to come back to as someone who lives in a country with no guns, these numbers and symbols are confusing and daunting.

[inland shuttle]

I’m from the UK
My main ammo is 0.36 musket balls

[inland shuttle]

I have 1200 hours in CSGO… I have connections

[runic prawn]

true btw

[peak spruce]

Fun fact Antique firearms aren’t actually considered Firearms By te GCA, and you don’t need a license to purcase tem

[vital patrol]

In canada consumer grade flamethrowers are legal to own as they're not classified as firearms

[inland shuttle]

I own a musket unironically lmao
99% sure it’s deactivated

[peak spruce]

Easy to reactivate

[drowsy adder]

theres no way i can buy like a lemat or a musket

[runic prawn]

[inland shuttle]

I mean if I was gonna hurt someone I’d use my bokken :3
But I have no ill will towards anyone
I am tryna be a better person ^,^

[peak spruce]

According to te GCA you don’t need a background ceck or license, Probably need to be of a certain age toug I don’t remember

[runic prawn]

how tho, They are literally firearms dawg 😭

[dawn juniper]

5.56 literally has better penetration than 7.62x39

[peak spruce]

No it doesn’t

[dawn juniper]

yes it does

[peak spruce]

If you’re using a 5.56 FMJ and a 7.62 Hollow point it does

But 7.62 generally has more penetration than 5.56

[dawn juniper]

you are mistaking 7.62x39 for 7.52x51 dumb-dumb

[peak spruce]

I am not

[ornate plover]

please be respectful

[peak spruce]

A 5.56 is intended for more fragmentation than a 7.62

[ornate plover]

does it not depend on what you're hitting? I don't think either will penetrate a plasteel ingot

[peak spruce]

It always depends, but rounds with more fragmentation Have less penetration

[drowsy adder]

subnautica reference

[peak spruce]

A 7.62 is more likely to Pass through a target while the most damage is the exit wound while 5.56 is less likely to penetrate while doing more damage by creating a larger wound cavity

Also I’m stopping with the H thing because it’s confusing

[ornate plover]

what about M

[peak spruce]

I can’t waste time figuring that out when someone thinks 5.56 has more penetration than 7.62

[inland shuttle]

Two words… kitty cannon!
Kittens are the most powerful round known to man

[peak spruce]

Also To answer the Other thing, Standard 7.62 and 7.62 NATO both have better penetration

[inland shuttle]

One loose thread, one small gap, one empty toilet roll tube!
And you’re done

[peak spruce]

Idk why I’m still on about this, they stopped talking like 6 minutes ago

[acoustic orchid]

By being obvious, I can hide something less obvious.

And that is that I actually went outside.

[rocky field]

mannnn today is gonna suck

not because of the date but other reasons

[ornate plover]

yeah the whole internet is the worst today

[rocky field]

not just that

[polar kelp]

I'm so incredibly disappointed

No new landfall game this year :(((((((

[junior tusk]

whats up senttrender

[rocky field]

since i've grown so insanely attached and dependent on my boyfriend, we're trying to find ways to make me less clingy because it's incredibly unhealthy for the both of us. he came up with the idea of we wont talk today until after he gets out of rehearsal in about... 13 hours. that's 13 hours of no texting or calling at all, when i'm so used to the constant talking and being on call with him

[rocky field]

thats not even the right name what

[junior tusk]
