[stark grove]

I hate why this game makes an upgrade to +25 with so little upgrade, it's just an excuse to mash my PS4 controller and buy a new one

[harsh wharf]

This is why you're an ape

[night lava]

bird sniping time

[stark grove]

Is she Rapunzel

[night lava]

ps4 🤣

brokey

[harsh wharf]

Mildly
Her hair is long and looks like the void

[stark grove]

Mine probably larger, it's way over 3f

[celest remnant]

1:rude 2:the ps5 had no games to begin with, I wouldn't dip into the launch price either

[main sinew]

how i feel going up to 80 int when im at like 76 lol. like why am i even bothering to hit 80. shoulda stopped at 60 and put in faith haha

[night lava]

who the hell is this simp

oh shoot

my fault didn’t know u was a mod 😭

[stark grove]

Vro PS4 controller ergonomics are way superior than ps5 and xobox, I hate Xbox controller I can't use claw play style

[lapis agate]

I'm having a blast with the magma blade

[main sinew]

nah we gonna let you cook!

[night lava]

almost got exterminated

[lapis agate]

First time using it

[steep moss]

[steep umbra]

Yeah it's super fun to use

[celest remnant]

I ain't about to use my position to win a non-rules related argument, key point, smelly console, smelly company

[main sinew]

unno why people say that magma blade is hard to get. i got 2 of them in like an hour

[celest remnant]

somehow still better than nintendo

[stark grove]

Forgive em, he has sinned enough, I am Melina

[harsh wharf]

Yea she's too short to have more than 3ft of hair lol
Grace #media-and-links with your vast mane sometime

[night lava]

js say u too broke to get a ps5 🤷‍♂️

[main sinew]

you cant just say nintendo's name. u are about to get sued

[celest remnant]

Steam out here doing absolutely nothing to win the console wars:

[glacial sun]

Bro pc users gonna get u for that

[main sinew]

why buy a ps5 when u can just buy a pc

[glacial sun]

See

[night lava]

wasn’t even talking about pc tho lol

[celest remnant]

Why buy a PC when you can buy a neural uplink straight to the web and get zipbombed in the brain by some 13 year old who thought it'd be funny

[night lava]

i got no hate towards it

every kid before getting minecraft for christmas

[celest remnant]

Your playstation is a computer just a less advanced one it's good to want to know how it works

[stray ocean]

steam wins by doing absolutely nothing as per usual

[lapis agate]

I'm playing faith strength and its a fun change over plowing everything with blasphemous blade

[steep moss]

hello jonathan

hope you are well mon

[night lava]

did i really offend yall pc gamers by saying get a playstation 😭

[harsh wharf]

Are you and the Mel who lives across the road from me the same people
This greatly concerns me

[night lava]

diabolical

[celest remnant]

no way a visit from jon

[stark grove]

Bro stop making fun of me, I still have 1030 1080 60hz 256gb

[stray ocean]

[celest remnant]

how are you my friend, hope you're well

[night lava]

256 gb

[steep moss]

he said

[glacial sun]

You lack foresight 🙂‍↕️

[night lava]

that’s how much storage my phone got 😭

[stray ocean]

How do i kill the bridge demon?

[stark grove]

I have elden ring installed in my micro SD card I have a SD car reader plugged

[celest remnant]

No look at my name lol

[glacial sun]

Thats ds1 bro

[celest remnant]

obv I'm gonna look at a 700$ price point and no games at launch and go "nuh uh"

[glacial sun]

Wrong game lil bro

[celest remnant]

and nothing on ps5 interests me at present because it's all coming to pc

[night lava]

well that’s mean 😢

[steep moss]

800$ gta 6

[glacial sun]

Im looking after you

[night lava]

have u by any chance played sekiro

[main sinew]

90% of steam's revenue is prolly from games people never played, but bought them cuz it was on sale lol

[celest remnant]

I have 100%ed sekiro including no hitting sword saint ishhin and I did so on STEAM

[steep moss]

s t e a m

[night lava]

don’t need a random dude on dc to look after me lol

[stark grove]

Proof

[night lava]

im good

[celest remnant]

I would have to go through and do it again and I have other priorities gaming wise these days

[main sinew]

steam doesnt charge you to play ur game monthly online. respect on that

[steep moss]

https://tenor.com/view/a-christmas-story-triple-dog-dare-dare-provoke-taunt-gif-3577156

[night lava]

i too have 100% the game, no hit isshin might be the most fun challenge i’ll do

[stray ocean]

join onebros we have cookies

[steep moss]

if steams so good, why haven’t they made a steam 2

[celest remnant]

this is still the highest selling point for it by far

[main sinew]

haha i love that meme about if usa is so good, why did they make usb

[steep moss]

steam sale #2

[celest remnant]

Isshin is fromsoftware challenge, nowadays I prefer games entirely centered around gambling where I can have an entire run ruined

[main sinew]

isnt steam box pc 2 though? or will they go with pc360

[stark grove]

Gambling

[velvet canopy]

play balatro

[steep moss]

cloverpit was cool

[lapis agate]

This is my first real elden ring run and I named my character D. So it was really lucky that D's armour set is so awesome

[celest remnant]

Yeah, fear and hunger turns every look into a bookshelf for supplies into a gamble

[stark grove]

Yes it has the power of laptop

[night lava]

one hiccup would mean hours of progress ruined tho lol

[steady moon]

the steel balls are running

[steep moss]

play this one

[celest remnant]

ah see you don't understand, "one hiccup" is still absolutely something you as a player can contradict

[main sinew]

i shoulda named my char Limp Biscut cuz I keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling

[celest remnant]

I can't contradict a failed coinflip when I go to search a bookshelf, a rat biting me during said search giving me an infected arm

and me never finding a bonesaw on the entire run to remove the arm, and dying of bacterial infection on the floor of a smelly, poo and blood smeared room

[lapis agate]

😂

[steep moss]

zigged when you should’ve zagged bro

[celest remnant]

Sometimes this is much more literal than you think

very funny when I entered the bear trap realm in funger 1

and lost my legs immediately

After 5 days of grinding Game of Thrones, we’re finally conquering the final season

It better be peak

[stark grove]

Gonna sleep I need my 8h daily sleep or I won't function as a human being

[steep moss]

steam 0.5

[covert marlin]

My jaw dropped

[celest remnant]

I came here to perform why are we killing people

[covert marlin]

Literally

That was one of the best plotwists I’ve seen

And Rob’s wife…

[night lava]

watching peak i see

drop it after s6

[covert marlin]

How

[night lava]

don’t let those last two seasons change ur opinion on it 😞

[covert marlin]

I just finished S7 and it was alright

[gloomy adder]

Is it bad that I first tried Mohg?

[steep moss]

alright here’s the plan guys, your gonna go out and buy an xbox 360, buy left 4 dead 2, and we’re gonna queue up a game of versus

[covert marlin]

Tomorrow I’ll bench the final

[celest remnant]

how about we just do it one STEAM

[covert marlin]

Just six episodes

[celest remnant]

its RIGHT there

[steep moss]

[celest remnant]

microsoft can eat my shorts

[covert marlin]

Bill ain’t hungry for you flamingo shorts

[night lava]

what’s ur fav season

[covert marlin]

Oof

Uhm

S4 so far

[night lava]

i would agree lol

[covert marlin]

I didn’t look at any ratings, just heard that the ending is kinda ehhh

[night lava]

after 4 was when i think they ran out of source material or sum

[covert marlin]

S6 was also alright

[night lava]

martin takes so long to publish a book lol

[covert marlin]

Excited for tomorrow, let’s see who ends up on the throne

[torn lichen]

Season 5 was the best fr

[night lava]

[covert marlin]

Whoever spoilers will be sent to the gulag

[drowsy cedar]

Ask @hard rapids to help you he's great at l4d2

[nova matrix]

Gentlemen, Democracy manifest

[hard rapids]

Or you could just buy l4d2 on steam its like $1

[celest remnant]

@hard rapids can u help me do my taxes

[wooden bough]

hi

[celest remnant]

they said u were good at l4d2 surely that translates right

[hard rapids]

Sorry dude im all occupied

[celest remnant]

damn this is truly a pain

[hard rapids]

You can book me tho i charge $400 an hour and my next available spot is in may

[wooden bough]

guys what are your thoughts on overleveling on your first playthrough of the game. i overleveled to like lvl 500 with the help of my cousin. Now my friends call me losers for over leveling and not having the elden ring experience. But i still enjoyed the game and had lots of fun

[celest remnant]

ironically that's actually cheaper than the average personal accountant

[hard rapids]

No way theyre that much

[nova matrix]

You didnt miss much, overleveling mainly increases your versatility after you hit caps

[celest remnant]

oh dude massively because how often does someone actually call their accountant

it's the only way for personal ones to be profitable

[nova matrix]

And you can hit caps or close to by 125-150 which is where people settle at

[celest remnant]

the alternative is joining up with a firm

[steep moss]

ehhh kinda soils the first experience imo but as long as you had fun that’s what’s important, you can always challenge yourself to do it normally on a different save if you wish

[nova matrix]

What you missed out on is build theorizing which is fun and can be done better on second run anyway

[hard rapids]

id assume a personal accountant works for multiple people

[celest remnant]

Likely but this is still not a consistent enough paycheck ya feel?

[hard rapids]

i guess so

[celest remnant]

not consistent enough to be charging a miserable rate

i should say

[wooden bough]

na i like being over leveled im more confident and if i wasnt i wouldve quit the game a long time ago. and since i suck at souls and this is my first time playing thesetype of game i usually play fortnite and roblox. i woudve quit the game

[celest remnant]

attorneys are just as bad if not worse

[steep moss]

quitter mindset but you do you

[drowsy cedar]

Can I be your assistant

[celest remnant]

Speaking of assistants one of mine brought me a mushroom and elk stew she made

big pot, can't wait to have some tonight

(I often share game meat with my lab assistants and she was very grateful for the elk)

[wooden bough]

[nova matrix]

You seem like the type of person to keep a personal collection of carrion insects to pick the bones clean of the game you kill so you can sell the skeleton to collectors and museums

[twilit hedge]

2122113453

[celest remnant]

nah, i don't like bugs I'd just boil the meat off them and then bleach the bones for preservation to do that

[twilit hedge]

since when did bugs have bones

[drowsy cedar]

Baboon saying anything

[drowsy cedar]

Haven't you played hollow knight

[celest remnant]

the bones have meat, he said I'd nurture carrion insects to pick bones clean

[nova matrix]

This is a thing people actually do ya lol

It was on an episode of dirty jobs even

[twilit hedge]

how do i say this without angering the server

[celest remnant]

I am a chemist, that takes time why would I do that when I can use hot concentrated aueous sodium or potassium hydroxide to get it done much faster and cleaner

[twilit hedge]

hollow knight is mid in my opinion

[drowsy cedar]

You can say it however you want it's not like we care

[nova matrix]

Well the bugs are free

[drowsy cedar]

Good for you

[celest remnant]

These aren't free but they do a faster, better job, we can dry them in my oven to cut costs

[nova matrix]

I'm stuck on potassium hydroxide

And bananas

[celest remnant]

oh and if we really wanna go one step further

the final thing we can do to preserve them is coat them in quick drying resin polymer

forever displayed in glass

We could even do this with the fully assembled skeleton but that'd be a much more involved effort

[nova matrix]

Scrimshaw pipets

[still wren]

my bacon is so dry it turned into jerky

[wooden bough]

guys is the elden beast sword thing worth it if i have blood hounds fang+9

[twilit hedge]

too many complicated words for my small brain

[celest remnant]

Something, it'd be hard to both keep it assembled AND get it into a vat of resin is the main thing

[twilit hedge]

bloodhounds fang is op it carries u everywhere

[celest remnant]

Resin is a byproduct of trees and is used for everything from ashtrays to cups, when you seal something inside it if done correctly it creates an oxygen free enviroment

[twilit hedge]

turn it back into bacon

[celest remnant]

no oxygen=entropy cannot reach whatever is inside, it will not decay and rot

[wooden bough]

ik but im ng but i dont feel like getting sombr stones all over again

and i wanna do smth unique

[twilit hedge]

evil

[nova matrix]

Is that one hot dog that got put in resin on reddit ages ago still ok

[still wren]

crispy

[celest remnant]

Well no, just really good for museum pieces

[nova matrix]

It must be at least a decade since then

[twilit hedge]

[celest remnant]

I'm pretty sure somebody took the double cheeseburger from supersize me and resined it one sec

[elder isle]

guys I finally no hit malenia

[celest remnant]

not that one specifically but here's an example of what resin does to objects for those who were immediately interested

[nova matrix]

In theory we can immortalize the worlds cultural dishes for a heritage museum using resin

[inner gyro]

I’m just glad that we all have our own opinions.

[celest remnant]

You'll notice, it still looks edible

(not by much, it's mcdonalds, but that's wild preservation)

[main sinew]

think sweden has one that looks the same but just by itself. low moisture

some country kicked mcdonalds out and kept one for like 20 years. forget which though

[nova matrix]

Kicking them out but keeping a burger in resin is funny

[celest remnant]

Yep, exact reason resin is used to preserve things. Moisture is the enemy of stability in the structure of stuff, it invites rot and mold.

[wooden bough]

[main sinew]

was just to show how unhealthy it was? i forget tbh

[inner gyro]

You could leave that in a closet somewhere for like 30 years, and it would still be somewhat edible. Still look exactly how it was before.

[celest remnant]

Eh, not exactly, this prevents ANY outside interference from soiling the initially meh burger

no temperature, no moisture, no oxygen, if the resin is thick enough no kinetic wear and tear

(believe it or not even things that spend 90% of their life moving slowly can still wear down over time)

[main sinew]

was iceland

[celest remnant]

(A fun example of this concept is every CD I owned in the early 2000's, perfectly stored, still acquired scratches)

[inner gyro]

Windows can melt over time, right?

[lilac turret]

💀

[celest remnant]

No, glass has too high a melting point, but they can be broken from enviromental interference

[main sinew]

unno someone been playing ur game while u were out of the house! haha my dark souls 2 is still picture perfect, as is my fear in loathing in las vegas dvd

[celest remnant]

(rain rotting the frame of the window because you didn't seal it for example)

[main sinew]

isnt that how windows are made?

heat sand = get windows

[celest remnant]

Ye, but you have to forcibly heat sand and blow it into glass

and it's high enough to make the sand molten

https://tenor.com/view/strangely-satisfying-glass-blowing-gif-21120095

As pretty as this is

one touch and you're getting a third degree burn

[main sinew]

wonder which is a higher temp. melting windows or sand haha

[celest remnant]

probably takes more to actually foster the initial creation of glass

[main sinew]

and not shatter from heat, but st8 up melt 🙂

[inner gyro]

I’m talking about from heat exposure. Or like warp over time.

[proud bronze]

Evening

[celest remnant]

Windows CAN melt from extreme heat exposure yeah if they somehow don't shatter first

[main sinew]

unno may harden more due to the process

[celest remnant]

when you heat glass rapidly it doesn't often melt, it typically explodes

this is why false eyes aren't put into crematoriums

they go off like cherry bombs

[main sinew]

yeah but if u smashed some glass in pieces and melted it. what temp do u think u would need

would it be higher than the temp needed for sand

ima google now!

[celest remnant]

It's an amorphous solid, it doesn't have a specific melting point instead what it does is it gradually becomes more workable

I haven't blown glass in awhile but 900 was when it became workable the last time I did

[main sinew]

Sand (silica/quartz) has a significantly higher melting point, typically around
1,700°C (
), compared to manufactured glass, which melts at a lower, more variable range of 1,400°C–1,500°C. Sand needs extreme heat to turn into glass, while glass is engineered to melt earlier for easier shaping

ah so i bet there is some types of glass made to have a higher melting point too

[celest remnant]

Yep, heat resistant glass such as the stuff used in aeronautics manufacturing

[main sinew]

that ai response though. but sounds about right

[celest remnant]

if a window shatters during rentry, the astronauts die

so, heat resistance is a vital thing

(Heat and a big metal tube violently shaking is probably hell on every part of the outside of a rocket)

[indigo umbra]

is it bad that i beat godskin duo before even fighting godskin noble

[celest remnant]

Thermal shock is a cool concept, essentially when you heat glass it is expanding unevenly

the cheaper the glass, the more violent the thermal shock

annealed glass just goes kaboom into shards

[kind quail]

Thermal socks are comfy

[celest remnant]

The PEAK of heat resistance in commerically bought stuff is borosilicate

it is a favorite of lab equipment because it can handle the thermal expansion coefficients other glassware can't

if I want to produce methanol, we need borosilicate because boiling something to produce alchohols older cousin in a non-heat resistant apparatus is how you end up with a lab fire

oh @nova matrix another thing about using chemistry to be efficient, you see all these cash for gold places using giant furnaces to melt gold yes?

Aqua Regia is a combination of hydrocloric and nitric acids and turns noble metals to mush

[outer gate]

Best is bullying me about my nose

[main sinew]

yeah imperfections can cause it to explode over time too

[celest remnant]

bully best about their best

[outer gate]

@teal geode you're best

[pearl bloom]

What’s better, Uchi or Naga?

[teal geode]

Im NOT bullying you

[outer gate]

On keen infusion they're almost identical, on anything else uchi tends to outdamage by a bit and requires less stats to wield

so efficiency-wise, uchi

but the difference isn't that big tbh

[outer gate]

[inner gyro]

Both

[south bison]

Someone wana help me kil radan

[outer sun]

I hate sleeping less.

[pearl bloom]

So the Uchi is just that good

[unique kernel]

Hi I just joined the server

[coarse blaze]

my condolences

[outer gate]

the AR difference on keen is literally <10, i'd argue the naga is better in that case because it just has a better heavy attack and more range for almost no real cost

[proud bronze]

Gah

[jagged widget]

@celest remnant I see what you mean when you talked about kcd2

He cannot spell his own name

[proud bronze]

Henry?

[outer gate]

i'm crashing out over wordle genuinely

[jagged widget]

H-E-N and uh, something

[proud bronze]

I mean he grew up a commoner, it wasn’t really normal for commoners in medieval times to actually learn how to write and read.

[jagged widget]

Yes that was the topic

[proud bronze]

He only recently probably started after he worked with Hans

[proud bronze]

I’m just saying, since i find it a neat detail

[jagged widget]

Of course, wish ya were there

[proud bronze]

They could have just made him already know how to spell in the second game but he’s still learning so ye

[proud bronze]

I’m trying not to die atm (i decided to do more sports and am now in agony)

[jagged widget]

He's decent
He can even fool a scribe!

[proud bronze]

I somehow thought i’d go swimming tomorrow

Then I remembered

[celest remnant]

Medieval Society was less focused on individualism, literacy was a privilege for the wealthy or the lucky

[proud bronze]

That might be a little bit of a challenge

[celest remnant]

Many people existed with purposes from birth

[proud bronze]

This is what I said just more sophisticated

[celest remnant]

Henry was intended to replace his father, hence the tutelage

not zeta well where the guy will literally pop in at any random moment (reminds me of me) but well

[proud bronze]

No….

Alrighty 👍
I never doubted anything, I never even thought about it

I have so many

[celest remnant]

oh actually I never finished explaining

[marsh cape]

my head hurts like crazy :(

[proud bronze]

SO MANY

[celest remnant]

I am a silly

[last crow]

something atomic related

[proud bronze]

Wator

Electrolytes help as well i think

[marsh cape]

ive had plenty of wator im just sick :(

[proud bronze]

Do you take vitamins?

[celest remnant]

After you've melted down the gold with your combination of acids, you're probably wondering "hey logic, how do I seperate gold from acid"

Sodium Metabisulfite

[proud bronze]

Awe poor fia

[marsh cape]

been hunkered up in my room all day to avoid giving my son whatever plague i have

[jagged widget]

I was thinking of water, but eehh sure that could work as well why not

[celest remnant]

You add it, and it changes the DENSITY of your liquid gold, causing it to form 99% pure gold sand

[proud bronze]

Definitely take vitamins, fruits, veggies, porridge. Hot milk with honey or hot lemon with honey

You can also just gobble up some pure honey

[jagged widget]

What do you get the gold from? Broken computers?

[proud bronze]

And layers layers layers, get sweating

[marsh cape]

ngl i cant stand honey i'll just drink as much water as an average ai data centre

[celest remnant]

(It's not so much the density as the atomic bonds it's changing buuuuuut easy analogy)

[proud bronze]

Hot lemon still helps

[celest remnant]

Antiques

[marsh cape]

yee, will do

[celest remnant]

that's the BEST place I've found gold

[proud bronze]

Just remove the honey if you don’t like it

[celest remnant]

Go to thrift stores

[marsh cape]

thank dain

[proud bronze]

And porridge

[celest remnant]

they are regular mines

[proud bronze]

With fruit

Believe me porridge is like the best thing

[jagged widget]

You get a profit from that?

[proud bronze]

Also chicken noodle soup helps looots

[outer sun]

What are you feeling?

[proud bronze]

Can you tell i’m sick a lot?

[marsh cape]

i found a $50 pokemon card at a thrift store selling for like 5 bucks
was just free money

[proud bronze]

Also hot wet towel on the head if you get fever

[outer gate]

I didn't know you had a son

[outer sun]

Probably because you're clumsy

[outer gate]

epic lore drop

[proud bronze]

Well yes but i just get colds a lot

[celest remnant]

my local one has a dollar day where you spend a dollar and fill a sack, I can buy so much metalware and seperate the precious metals from them, melt them into bars, then cash them in at any point buying that type of metal

[marsh cape]

i have a daughter too :D

[proud bronze]

She has two kids!

[outer gate]

Even epicer lore drop

[marsh cape]

but i'm especially worried about my son because he is a little tiny baby man rn

Halfway to where I am at

Hello little tiny baby man

[outer sun]

Do you also not know i have two sons or lucky is forgetful !!

[proud bronze]

I remember when I said i don’t want more than two

[outer gate]

I have 30+ children (plushies) in my room

[celest remnant]

Another solid way to gather metal is trash pickup, if you have a truck you can get TONS of steel

[marsh cape]

lmaoo

[outer gate]

YOU HAVE KIDS TOO

I'm finally starting to feel a bit tired, unlike dain, even though we pretty much share timezones

[outer sun]

I need my glasses again.

[jagged widget]

Bye lads and ladies

[outer gate]

my new daughter arrived via AnPost today

[marsh cape]

why does she look like that

[outer sun]

Cuuute!

[outer gate]

a little bit angry

[proud bronze]

My first child is a tiger plushie i’ve had for like 30 years

He still looks great

Despite what baby Dain did to him

[celest remnant]

I dunno if I'd make that comparison, Sauron began life as a benevolent and beautiful god and was twisted to a hellish life of obsession by his most passionate creation

[marsh cape]

also given she was delivered through An Post i'm shocked she actually showed up

[proud bronze]

I meant like hair colour wise

[violet heath]

Hello everynyan

[celest remnant]

Also seriously you have to make sure your kid reads the books

[proud bronze]

And he keeps trying to speak like Sauron

[marsh cape]

it feels like half the time they'll deliver to a house on the opposite side of the county for the fun of it

[proud bronze]

My daughters are getting it read to at the moment

[celest remnant]

I love the films but one thing, one thing that makes me want to rip that little ape directors door down

is the freaking absolute lack of Sharkey

[proud bronze]

I will have them read it once they’re a little older

[celest remnant]

Homeless Saruman is the FUNNIEST THING EVER and it's also the main message of the book

The interaction between him and frodo shows exactly how much pride is ones downfall

[proud bronze]

I’ve had dhl deliver a pack to me once

[marsh cape]

i like sitting my kids at the piano and playing music for them. my daughter especially loves it

[proud bronze]

It landed in Poland

I still don’t know how

[marsh cape]

oh yeah ive had some horrific dhl experiences

[proud bronze]

But I had to call them and be like…hello yes…you delivered it to ANOTHER COUNTRY

[celest remnant]

If he'd simply accepted Frodos words for what they were, took his kindness to heart and went about his way he would've regained his light rather than being the muddy grey he was.

[outer sun]

Wrong location

[proud bronze]

WHAT were they doing in POLAND

[marsh cape]

i once had fedex tell me they delivered a package to mayo only for it to arrive at my house (in cork) 15 minutes later. not even the same province.

[proud bronze]

Yeh, Saruman fell so far i doubt it would have even helped him that much though

[wheat comet]

Dain likes sandwiches

[celest remnant]

but it was the right way out is my point, the scourging of the shire would've never happened

[proud bronze]

Yeah I agree

[celest remnant]

he could've began to reclaim his life, and perhaps even his wizarding mantle

[wheat comet]

Pastrami, pepperjack cheese, stone ground mustard, whole wheat bread, a bit of mayo, maybe even some pickle

[celest remnant]

Surely the Maia can accept that in his hubris and madness due to Sauron he made a mistake in attempting to BE every color

[main sinew]

add in some banana peppers and u golden

[wheat comet]

And we can all share

[main sinew]

throw some slices of pepperoni on it too!

[pearl bloom]

Top 5 best ashes of war based on my knowledge

5: Wild Strikes
4: Giant Hunt
3: Unsheathe
2: Royal Knights Resolve
1: Cragblade

[celest remnant]

Like, he was an asshole, yes, he was regularly racist, but the books main message is that even the most miserable of souls deserve a chance at redemption, why oh why Saruman could you not simply thank him for actually showing you kindness and go about your way

[wheat comet]

#1: Kick

[marsh cape]

5 wild strikes
4 cragblade
3 giant hunt
2 unsheathe
1 square off

stamp (upward cut) is also goated

[coarse blaze]

sudo sudo sudo sudo

[marsh cape]

i dont think that would do anything

[coarse blaze]

let me try

[celest remnant]

To clarify for people going "wtf is he going on about" here's the ENTIRE interactions conclusion from Sarumans side, for context, Frodo has offered him food, water, and a place to rest.

Saruman: Saruman: (Striking the flask from Frodo's hand) "Keep your pity! It is a poison to me. I would rather starve than eat your bread. And as for you, my little lord, you have grown, it seems. You have grown tall, and you are wise, and you have a great heart. But you will find that the shadow has fallen on your own garden while you were wandering. It will be a long time before the Shire is as it was when you left it."

[outer gate]

both of the stamps have some agregious recovery time so I usually don't use em

stamp sweep comes out lightning fast though so it's pretty cool

also neither list has endure smh

[coarse blaze]

just pulls up the help

[marsh cape]

upward cut can fling so many heavy enemies though

[outer gate]

Yeah, it's pretty nice but it kinda just does what giant-hunt does but not as strong

[marsh cape]

yeah because you're just running sudo with no command attached to it

[coarse blaze]

yeah

[wispy bison]

lunky

[coarse blaze]

btw I switched to niri

[outer gate]

I do LIKE both the stamp skills I just wish they were better

[marsh cape]

cool :D

[coarse blaze]

its pretty cool but idk how to rice it

[outer gate]

literally just faster recovery would be a godsend

[coarse blaze]

my kde rice was so pretty

[outer gate]

Irisy

[marsh cape]

im not a fan of the fancy window managers

i like using my mouse

[coarse blaze]

yeah thats fair

[marsh cape]

keyboard centric stuff isnt for me

[coarse blaze]

theres not too many binds for niri and you can still definitely use your mouse

[marsh cape]

besides my kde looks nice

[coarse blaze]

it does, if its still the same one you showed me

[marsh cape]

it is slightly different now

[coarse blaze]

gimme sees

[marsh cape]

because i switched from arch to fedora on my desktop i went with a more simple look

[coarse blaze]

fire

[marsh cape]

but its still nice

[chrome forge]

destroy all linux users

[coarse blaze]

i might try fedora mobile

[whole walrus]

check its wiki

its pretty easy

a bit annoying if you havent gotten used to managing these things from other tiling wm

[halcyon kernel]

Hi Fia

Hi Noni

[whole walrus]

hiya

[halcyon kernel]

Not much, waiting for a friend to get done eating, might play sum Resident Evil Code Veronica

[marsh cape]

hi fatigue

[coarse blaze]

yeah seems like its terminal slop but ill be excited to theme it like my plasma

[whole walrus]

get to nanoing or be better

[celest remnant]

@proud bronze I think by making Saruman a eugenicist and racist Tolkien was able to mirror the sort of scientific terminology weaponization real life fascism often uses and condense it into a single man and this is actually some of the most brilliant storytelling imaginable. After ALL of this, after the man literally "improving" species by breeding them, being racist to hobbits in his face more then once, and committing LITERAL warcrimes, Frodo offers this man a sandwich and a glass of water.

[lavish pier]

Can we kill Steve

[celest remnant]

If that isn't peak humility I don't know what is

[halcyon kernel]

Sure

Steve seems like a bum

[lavish pier]

Did you just start the game?

[halcyon kernel]

Yeah

[lavish pier]

LOL let me know what you think of steve when you finish

[proud bronze]

Yeah, it does mirror that really well

[halcyon kernel]

Ight

[proud bronze]

Frodo truly is…the best main character

[celest remnant]

I loved it man, he was still a wizard, but it stripped away the mystical justification for his acts

[umbral rose]

yooo idk what is thissss

[celest remnant]

there was no esoterica, he was a mage but also a scientist

[proud bronze]

It’s honestly a brutal move from tolkien, it shows that despite everything the guy was still not as perfect as he thought he was

[celest remnant]

Him trying to use the voice to intimidate them during the ruffians throw down and the hobbits basically going

"Yeah that doesn't work anymore pal"

[proud bronze]

Why does Club Mate taste like cigarettes smell and still taste so good?

[proud bronze]

I loved that moment honestly

[celest remnant]

Honestly though a mystical voice that makes everyone think I'm the most smartest boy in the room and makes anyone I contradict sound like a blathering idiot sounds like a dope superpower

[proud bronze]

[celest remnant]

Think about it, it's so simple. Avoid any possible pride towards hobbits and instead, run for president of middle earth

Once you're president, have the little scum suckers thrown into the dungeons of mordor for 3000 years with no second breakfast

[limber lagoon]

what game will showcase how nice my new pc is

[whole walrus]

fps chess

[marsh cape]

why would you say something so mean :(

i didnt know you were evil

[coarse blaze]

hes literally griffith

[celest remnant]

no

run benchmark tests instead

[limber lagoon]

no i want to play a game on it

[jagged widget]

Elden ring of course

(I failed my rest)

[limber lagoon]

i have played elden ring on it its very nice

[drifting parrot]

Hello guys, can someone help me? thanks!

[limber lagoon]

elden ring just kinda sucks optimization wise on pc

[marsh cape]

elden ring kinda sucks optimisation wise in general

[celest remnant]

games won't show off how good a modern pc is because most midrange pcs can run modern games, run furmark on your pc without your vram melting

[limber lagoon]

i have 16gb of vram

[celest remnant]

oh it'll cook you at 32gb of vram if your cooling is ass, it renders a high contrast torus with heaaaavy multisampling

[limber lagoon]

kinda wanna try like red dead maybe its time for another playthrough

i could prolly play at like high settings with above 60 fps

man that would be nice. ive only ever played it at 30 fps

[kind quail]

open 200 google tabs

[jagged widget]

@limber lagoon some games have a benchmark feature, like cyberpunk

[limber lagoon]

yeah i know about benchmarking and stuff i think i mis spoke

[celest remnant]

Just a scooch but even if you didn't it's an okay misconception

[limber lagoon]

i meaan like i want to enjoy a new game on it that will also like show

[celest remnant]

We often measure pc "quality" by if it can render a game we want to play

[limber lagoon]

yeah

[celest remnant]

the reality is this isn't a very good measure because peoples tastes are so different

[limber lagoon]

man i want to try crimson desert

but 90$ is crazy

[celest remnant]

I have friends who have bought 3k rigs

....to play league of legends

like bro what are you doing

[jagged widget]

How do you even spend that much

[celest remnant]

psychosis

[dim pawn]

buh

x253

[jagged widget]

You don't use a 5090 for gaming

[rustic socket]

Sekiro and lies of P ps5 are both on sale i can only buy one, which one do i buy 🤔

[celest remnant]

bah bah bah one exception

[jagged widget]

I preferred sekiro

[celest remnant]

a large amount of vr gaming and game design requires top of the line hardware to actually be even remotely comfortable

[rustic socket]

Sekiro it is then ✌️

[jagged widget]

Everything to climb out of bronze

[limber lagoon]

havent played either but def sekiro

[celest remnant]

dude I thought he might have a steam or something

[rustic socket]

Gracias

[celest remnant]

no, work stuff, music, league of legends

this is what his pc contained

I ask why

"I like league of legends"

[coarse blaze]

ive a friend who knows someone who uses 2 5090s in a gaming pc

if you know anything about computers you know why thats dumb

[jagged widget]

Does sir logickin not have steam

[celest remnant]

ah yes, I too like wasting power

[coarse blaze]

power and pcie lanes❤️‍🩹

[celest remnant]

no I do

my friend does not

[real storm]

city boiii city boi

[coarse blaze]

consumer board so only 28 lanes at MOST

[lavish pier]

Peak of legends

[celest remnant]

not for no 3k gaming pc

my current pc ain't no 3k

[jagged widget]

How many PCI lanes does a 5090 even use

[whole walrus]

it okay dlss 5

[coarse blaze]

16

[celest remnant]

and it's one I'd consider fine for gaming, I have a workstation with a 5090 but not required at all to game on

[jagged widget]

Sounds about right

[coarse blaze]

consumer boards get broken down like this

[jagged widget]

2 5090's for gaming though..

[coarse blaze]

1 doesnt get used

[jagged widget]

Is he still stuck in the SLI era

[celest remnant]

the real question is this:does nvidia even produce jumper tech anymore

bahahaha

[jagged widget]

And it will clog up the airflow

[celest remnant]

i was about to say last i remember is sli

[coarse blaze]

cpu gets at most 28 lanes
4 goes to the chipset
4 goes to the ssd slot/*slots
16 to top gpu slot
and if theres an extra 4 itll go to the pcie slots below *or share with extra ssd slots

[celest remnant]

it would let you jump two gpus together, wild

[coarse blaze]

sli was great but also not

[jagged widget]

Or I guess wifi

[coarse blaze]

since the tech still suffered from bandwidth limitation

[marsh cape]

i feel like sli was probably an aesthetic choice mostly for a lot of people with a lot of disposable income

[pearl bloom]

Bad lockout bingo squares:

Defeat 3 bosses that come directly before remembrance bosses

Obtain a +10 crystal sword

Obtain a +25 erdsteel dagger

Beat Malenia using only shields

Beat Mohg using only fire damage

Beat Radabeast without staggering them

[coarse blaze]

yeah a wifi card can take lanes but on board doesnt iirc

[celest remnant]

just weirdly unneccessary, I get the point, bind gpus to increase processing power, military literally did it with playstation 3's to build a targeting system but like, you're handing this to american consumers

they're going to look at that for about 10 seconds

[jagged widget]

Likely depends on the board

[coarse blaze]

it wasnt even worth doing because bandwidth and cost

[limber lagoon]

two 5090s?

[pearl bloom]

Thoughts?

[celest remnant]

Literal poweruse only feature lolololol

[limber lagoon]

are we deadahh

[coarse blaze]

probs, id have to look

[jagged widget]

Very unbalanced

[limber lagoon]

what could any person POSSIBLY need two 5090s for

[marsh cape]

you're right theyre bad

[coarse blaze]

but yeah 2 5090s for gaming does nothing bc you cant run the game off both and pcie lanes will just kill most of the performance anyway

[jagged widget]

Simulate the entirety of planet earth

[pearl bloom]

Which one is the worst?

[marsh cape]

having two 5090s will just make you look like you loathe money

[limber lagoon]

what are good pve shooters

[celest remnant]

regular people doing it would probably not even offset the wattage and either A:it wouldn't turn on or B:they'd overcompensate and melt both their boards, the boards that carried sli as a feature did not have the strongest of capacitors nor great thermal protection

[jagged widget]

My existence alone takes up one entire CUDA core

[jagged widget]

Cyberpunk

[marsh cape]

helldivers 2 and ultrakill are both peak

[celest remnant]

OH cool thing to teach the machinery illiterate folks here, if you've ever seen the word capacitor in a video game and went "wot"

[jagged widget]

Redstone comparator

[celest remnant]

these essentially function as batteries in modern day electronics and control the flow of energy through a device (I think this is a decent way of explaining it), they can serve so many different functions but they're GREAT for power management, if they can survive the actual thermal exchange

[coarse blaze]

they're not only great but they are a lot of the reason most devices can even turn on

[whole walrus]

battery

[coarse blaze]

which is implied but still

[whole walrus]

ram ram ram

[celest remnant]

I SAY battery

but there's a cool distinction I should make

[marsh cape]

oh btw i do have good news

[pearl bloom]

Which one is the worst?

[celest remnant]

batteries store energy chemically, capacitors do so kinetically

think of it like a spring being compressed

[marsh cape]

after my maternity leave ends i might be able to leave my current job and go back into audio engineering stuff

[coarse blaze]

goated

[celest remnant]

I feel like we would've found SOME other form of power but yeah, they're amazing in function, amazing in aesthetics

I like the look of a circuit board

at least they're zipped together

Hello

[marsh cape]

you never wanna see the back of my pc then

it might just kill you

[marsh cape]

hello!

[digital wren]

Been playing this game while I'm 30 hours in :D

I decided to join

[coarse blaze]

my back cover was forced on its so bad

[coarse blaze]

my condolences

[marsh cape]

same lmao

[coarse blaze]

my inside looks garbage too since I built this like an idiot but it works so I'm ok

[celest remnant]

Oh funny thing, I use an old atx board ripped from an aurora r7 and the first time I ever upgraded this thing, the PSU has a very funny unique jumper, instead of 1 line, this jumper also has to be connected

[marsh cape]

i will warn you, this channel never talks about elden ring. if you need help with stuff i'd point you towards #community-help

[wispy bison]

meow meow meow

[celest remnant]

I overlooked this and sent back THREE POWER SUPPLIES

[digital wren]

Oh I'm sorry

[celest remnant]

yes

[wispy bison]

what do i ask psy to buy me

[marsh cape]

[celest remnant]

again with this dance, lemme open my steam

[wispy bison]

i slept on it, and i didnt come up with what i want bought

[celest remnant]

'

I don't choose videogames they fall into my lap, so my taste is incredibly diverse as a result

having access to disposable income means I buy things on a whim, no partner means I can do this, and there's no one to ever be upset at me about it

[halcyon kernel]

Logic have you heard of Signalis?

[celest remnant]

heard and finished

[halcyon kernel]

Do you by chance know about Alone in the Dark?

[celest remnant]

@proud bronze note the numbers in the top right corner

[celest remnant]

know and completed the entire series other than the latest

modern ones are horse piss

I've thought about eventually playing the first one

[crude nest]

hello guys

whats this server about

It's alright

[wispy bison]

[celest remnant]

We are the official Bandai Namco™ server for the video game Elden Ring as well as the spinoff Elden Ring:Nightreign

[tidal basin]

Lords of the Fallen backwards is Farts of the Lauren 🤣 🤣 🤣

[celest remnant]

We also have a section for the DLC

I'm Lauren btw (the femboy)

Im logic btw (the alt account)

[autumn osprey]

Is the giant crusher any good

[coarse blaze]

idk

[autumn osprey]

Good to know

[coarse blaze]

no problem

[jagged widget]

I feel like weapons are either useable or barely worth using

Giant crusher can definitely crush, with the downside of being giant

[real storm]

13 dollars short to buy the dlc

[outer gate]

ye

Very heavy though so you'd likely require great-jar's arsenal as one of your talismans to be able to use it efficiently

[tidal yacht]

is vigor 40 soft cap or nah?

[outer gate]

Strength focused setups are usually quite stat efficient anyways due to the 1.5× bonus when two-handing though so it works out fine

[outer gate]

40 is the first softcap, then 60

[celest remnant]

first softcap

[tidal yacht]

damnn

[celest remnant]

question, and if you answer, and need it, I'll teach you, do you know what a softcap actually is

[outer gate]

Usually you wanna get to 40 asap, then you have some wiggle room for other comfort stats.
eventually, you do wanna start pushing for 60

[celest remnant]

i wanna know because I'm interested in the percentage of players that actually understand the mechanics of softcaps

[real storm]

anything i should know abt before buying the dlc

[tired lily]

.

[coarse blaze]

thanks dot for sending a dot

[whole walrus]

noni

[autumn cobalt]

I finally defeated rykard,give me prime consort radahn

[tidal yacht]

i mean i dont know it all like that i just like thought it was thing that basically makes you have to level up to a certain level for any difference

[tidal yacht]

i have 50 but i was curious

[outer gate]

if you enjoyed the base game you'll likely enjoy the dlc, if you didn't enjoy the former that much, there isn't much new in the latter that will change that

have 60 vigor, a fully upgraded weapon, explore and collect scadutree fragments when you get there, have fun

[celest remnant]

Nope, it's inflation

this is the best way to explain it

[tidal yacht]

damn

[celest remnant]

After a certain point, you spend the same, but it's worth less

you get less ROI (Return on investment)

[outer gate]

If 50 works for you then you can stick with it, but the HP returns from levelling to 60 are still good

[whole walrus]

dude just say diminishing returns

[proud bronze]

Holy heck

[whole walrus]

[celest remnant]

this is an mmo term

[surreal jungle]

the only thing I don't like about consort radahn is the lore
like why is the main villain of the DLC some kind of gay minor twink?

[outer gate]

beyond 60 you get a lot less HP per level, hence why it doesn't become worth it anymore

[celest remnant]

do u know how many people talk mess on mmos i don't even assume people like them anymore

[tidal yacht]

oh wow

[pearl bloom]

How bad is the crystal sword?

[outer gate]

I feel like that's a very shallow way to describe miquella

[celest remnant]

miquella isn't a minor, they were stuck in a childs body, a gross concept yes but they shed it by the end of the dlc

[outer gate]

It's functional and clears content without too much issue, albeit it is also outclassed

[celest remnant]

as for why they're a villain, it's not really villainy as much as it is pragmatism

[surreal jungle]

miquella is gay because he made radahn his consort
minor because his body is that of one
twink because well, look at him

[outer gate]

It works fine, it just doesn't offer anything that something else can't just do better

use it if you like having a blue crystal sword

[celest remnant]

miquella is an ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS villain in the likes of Lucifer from Devilman:Crybaby, just not as brutal with his methods and more of a stringpuller instead

Actually, yes, that's a fantastic comparison

Miquella is essentially a flip of Lucifer, both used manipulation of the available masses in an attempt to achieve dominion and goals while learning very human traits far too late for it to be any good

the difference being Lucifer was HYPERVIOLENT about it when the end drew near

[surreal jungle]

also like
why is radahn a (word I cannot say here)?

[celest remnant]

you should be fine to say Radahn

[forest timber]

what is DRL i’ve seen some streamers doing it recently

[celest remnant]

OH wait I misread

[narrow orbit]

How are we supposed to know which word you mean?

[pearl bloom]

So not bad, just no reason to use it

[outer gate]

He's a highly calculated empyrean cursed with eternal nascency that was willing to abandon every part of his own self to finally bloom into something bigger in order to reach the world he strived for

that's kinda just a surface view, but it's a lot more than "gay minor twink"

[outer gate]

pretty much yeah

[surreal jungle]

they made radahn love miquella, a minor

[celest remnant]

Oh, no

[pearl bloom]

Other than a mix of moronery and liking the way it looks

[tidal yacht]

i think miquella is using his charm no? or whatever he has

[outer sun]

Hello everyone

[narrow orbit]

Well he gets to be a lord, he gets to be like his 2 biggest idols

[outer gate]

nearly all "bad" weapons fall under that category

they aren't actually bad, they just get outclassed in one or all aspects. When looked at in a vaccuum they clear content fine

[tidal yacht]

helloo

[narrow orbit]

Nah Radahn did that with no charm

[pearl bloom]

I just like the way the crystal sword looks

[tidal yacht]

oh

[outer gate]

it's pretty fancy yeah

[autumn parcel]

is it poossible to get eldwen ring for free

[narrow orbit]

No

[celest remnant]

Radahn isn't the Radahn you kill in the field of battle the Consort is essentially a golem ressurected from the bioengineered corpse of mohg and the screaming, fragmented soul of Radahn ripped to the shadow realm

[outer sun]

Why play weapons? Play with fists.

[outer gate]

It has some nice base AR to make up for the shoddy scaling, spinning slash isn't the worst skill to be stuck with either. use it if you like it !

[narrow orbit]

The souls perfectly intact and fine

It's still Radahn in there

Radahn's mind, Radahn's will

Not fragmented

[celest remnant]

I like to imagine if it weren't for the glamor he'd be rather upset about lacking eternal rest, but you're like 98% likely right

[narrow orbit]

Radahn doesn't want eternal rest

That's what Freyja's quest clarifies

Unlike what Jerren believed, Radahn lived for war

Endless war

[celest remnant]

i should probably get some coffee lololol

this was supposed to be fractured

woops

brain frying

frustrated

there we go

[outer sun]

Woah woah logic. Language !

[still wren]

ough god i hate gin all of them taste disgusting

[celest remnant]

CPU had a little skip lololol

[still wren]

tastes like perfume water

[outer sun]

Perfume drinker?!

[coarse blaze]

NO mod talk

[celest remnant]

@pliant arrow we don't discuss that here

ugh

[pliant arrow]

Oh, I’m sorry

[still wren]

so extremely gross

[celest remnant]

that ugh wasn't you btw esca that person that popped up was a bot

[outer gate]

ACHOO

[celest remnant]

yeah just in our rules, 14 if you need more info #rules

[outer gate]

custard creams...

[pliant arrow]

Alright, I appreciate it

[outer gate]

I bought a big huge packet of them in Lidl a couple days ago and i've been munching on them like a fat little house rat every day

[celest remnant]

daaaamn that's a buttery looking cookie

[outer gate]

they're so good

[celest remnant]

My Großmutter made butter cookies that looked very similar, she used a copper cutter for the artsy patterns

and a little stamp

[outer gate]

My bunica makes really good cakes

[celest remnant]

If I had a profession that involved food I would be very fat

[real storm]

what are the blue worm things in loading screens i cant find them anywhere

[outer gate]

it's actually a miracle that i'm skinny

I love food so much

[outer gate]

They're in the dlc !

[celest remnant]

Same, I figured out that my rice cooker can easily do jammy hard boiled eggs

the translation to this means I can do korean spa eggs or ramen eggs

RAPIDLY

[outer gate]

the new loading screens were added when the dlc dropped but you don't have to own it to see em

whenever I have eggs I usually just fry one in a mini pan and put it on a sandwich

[celest remnant]

If you have a multi function rice cooker

[outer gate]

although I did make some good low-heat scrambled eggs with butter once to go with my chicken

[celest remnant]

7 minutes in a steamer basket, pull your eggs out

run them under cold water or give them an ice bath

[outer gate]

I unfortunately lack a multi-function rice cooker, I don't really eat rice all that much

[celest remnant]

if it's cold water give it about 5 minutes

then, pop the eggs in a bath of soy sauce, ginger, green onion, and chili paste

let that marinate overnight, my gosh man

[outer gate]

The last time I made rice I just boiled it one day, put it in the fridge and fried it with some egg and seasonings the next day

[celest remnant]

You could STILL do this but i have no idea of stovetop timings lol

[outer gate]

it was okay

[celest remnant]

I rarely do boiled eggs because this requires standing over them

so finding this out was wild

[outer gate]

A rice cooker would be nice but I really just don't eat rice enough to make it worthwhile

[coarse blaze]

this chat turned into mod chat

[outer gate]

I have an air-fryer so I can make home cut fries with potatos

Get a multifunction you silly boi

[outer gate]

What else do you cook in it !

[celest remnant]

it is a:Rice Cooker, Steamer Slow Cooker, Cake Baker

Yes, you can make CAKE in a RICE COOKER

I caremilize onions EN MASSE in mine using the saute function

[outer gate]

My diet is pretty small I don't think i'd need so steam or slow cook anything lol

I have pans for grilling and air fryer for air frying and an oven for pizza so i'm pretty set

[celest remnant]

So imagine this small diet, if instead of the effort you currently put in, you could put a pair of chicken thighs rubbed with bullion and seasoning, a little braising liquid, put all of this on before you leave for work

[outer gate]

grilled chicken and eggs 😋

[celest remnant]

come home, take it out, throw it in the oven skin side up for 15 minutes

[surreal jungle]

radahn phase 2 is pretty difficult

[outer gate]

I mean, nothing I really cook takes much effort at all

I also don't work so I have time to cook for 10-15 mins

[atomic tapir]

Have you tried working

[outer gate]

I've tried education but I had to keep dropping out

[celest remnant]

I adore my slow cooker because of this, it improved the quality of life for me severely because I can always ensure I come home to a hot and well prepared meal

[outer gate]

I did apply for a sales assistant job today though wish me luck gang

8 hours a week

[celest remnant]

(When I was drifting from lousiana to here, I often ate frozen meals and sandwiches as I had no clue what places were "good")

[outer gate]

I'd honestly be scared of letting something cook whilst i'm away

but yeah it sounds pretty handy

[celest remnant]

this is tried and tested technology that has been around since the 1930's and is safer than ever

most modern ones have a tip shutoff similar to space heaters

(or, they just flat out break if they feature heavy glass lids)

How do I know this? I own cats

[still wren]

olive garden should let people have all you can eat olives

[coarse blaze]

true.

[celest remnant]

I dunno, it would be fitting but I like the breadsticks

[real storm]

olives u can eat

[celest remnant]

they're so good

[real storm]

all u can eat (olive edition)

[celest remnant]

junk italian good but good

[still wren]

olives taste so good

[alpine cipher]

Its a crime that they don't. Bread sticks? Nahhh, lemme have some of those olives you have on the salad

[surreal jungle]

pcr phase 2 is pretty difficult
bro like becomes an anime god

[coarse blaze]

mid boss

[celest remnant]

damn shut up im getting hungry again

[still wren]

ive never been to olive garden

i feel like the breadsticks are just there to fill u up

[arctic stirrup]

this should be a crime

[coarse blaze]

yeah pretty much

[alpine cipher]

Yeah pretty much

[celest remnant]

they are, its why they give you so many

[coarse blaze]

holy twin😭

[celest remnant]

you also get free soup or salad with your meal

[still wren]

😭

[winged obsidian]

olives are an S tier fruit

[alpine cipher]

Shared brain cell!!!

[winged obsidian]

they do so much, culinarily

[celest remnant]

the soups REALLY good

[alpine cipher]

Hard agree but now I'm craving olives

[still wren]

i find it hard to justify $20 for soup ngl

😭

[celest remnant]

I dunno, it's just americas take on italian food

[winged obsidian]

Mediterranean type beat

[coarse blaze]

ugh 203 out of 409 mods this is taking forever

[celest remnant]

and imo it tries its best to not be too much

[coarse blaze]

mc modpacks are so peak

[winged obsidian]

olives were made in America?

you learn something new every day

[celest remnant]

naw, I mean the food they serve

[winged obsidian]

I mean the food itself comrade

[celest remnant]

like, it's AMERICAN italian

[winged obsidian]

Olive garden is vile imo but that's just my opinion

[celest remnant]

it is italian food prepared by americans

[winged obsidian]

well to be fair there's a lot of overlap between the two communities

[celest remnant]

in the same way that if I were go to hokaido, I can find a joint that will fix me an "american" burger and the japanese apparently think that is a 92 OUNCE PATTY smothered in cheese

[winged obsidian]

well.....

[celest remnant]

no like, we go big on our regular food

[winged obsidian]

I mean if you saw how my uncle prepares his burgers then

[celest remnant]

but this is just monstorous for the value

[lament cairn]

12th playthrough game is still so fun

[winged obsidian]

not that crazy, I mean it is crazy but you know

[still wren]

i always find it so corny watching japanese cooking vids or restaurants making the most basic american food while their kitchen looks like it has a michelin star

and they serve it like they are serving the president

😭

[native tree]

Shuwa

[winged obsidian]

Americans have the culinary monstrosity industry in the palm of our hands tbf

[celest remnant]

this was how a popular japanese burger chain celebrated the american election

look at those things those are CRAZY

[winged obsidian]

that's a jr deluxe in Mississippi

[still wren]

so real

[celest remnant]

Yes, that's definently true the south does outdo everyone in portion size

[winged obsidian]

still got that 'nasty patty' unappetizing look to it though

[celest remnant]

my uncle would eat an entire alligator tail

[winged obsidian]

you say that like alligator isn't delicious

wait, in one sitting?

[still wren]

idk those burgers do look pretty good

[celest remnant]

no no you're right but that's a ton of meat

yes

[alpine cipher]

Well is it?

[winged obsidian]

Jesus that's too much

[winged obsidian]

yeah kinda tastes like chicken

[celest remnant]

this is why he died

[winged obsidian]

Americans eat like we got free healthcare

[celest remnant]

too much fried and roast alligator

[alpine cipher]

Oh

[celest remnant]

it's like chicken, but fattier

[winged obsidian]

I've had bear before

[celest remnant]

fantastic meat

[celest remnant]

too much iron for me

[winged obsidian]

it's like, a tougher pork

[winged obsidian]

yeah I really had to grind through it

[alpine cipher]

Pretty sure a decent chunk of americans would prefer having free refills over free healthcare

[winged obsidian]

unironically true tbh

if you've ever seen a black household prepare kool aid it's something else

half the bag of sugar for 2 gallons

[celest remnant]

god thinking on it I wonder what the body fat percentage in an alligators tail is

how much gristle was that man eating

[winged obsidian]

alligators are pretty energy efficient creatures so I think it may be decently high?

i mean they are ambush predators

[celest remnant]

huh, not nearly as much as I'd expect for storing fat in their tails

apparently about 4grams per 3.5 ounce serving

[winged obsidian]

their tails are like rudders so I guess that makes sense

[celest remnant]

Yeah I'd never thought about it till now, this weeks weird

I checked my grandmas court records on a whim yesterday, no idea why

[winged obsidian]

dark family secrets?

[celest remnant]

Crazy story:she sued Sears (large goods distributor) for 21'000$ over a 2000$ refrigerator to make a point.

[winged obsidian]

based grandma

[fast minnow]

If the round table says begin journey 4 how many times have i beaten the game?

[celest remnant]

She lost, but it was very baller

oh this was back in 1971 btw

[winged obsidian]

mine is just infidelity

boring

[celest remnant]

21'000$ is a MINT today

[winged obsidian]

6 figures at least

[celest remnant]

if she'd won her life would've been so dramatically different but it was never going to happen

[winged obsidian]

Sears isn't even around anymore is it

[celest remnant]

they are, still branded sears

their original name was sears and roebuck or something like that

[coarse blaze]

[winged obsidian]

last time I saw a Sears store was like, ten years ago

[celest remnant]

almost doxxed myself lololo

[winged obsidian]

Oklahoma City?

[celest remnant]

ye, vpn endpoint

[winged obsidian]

oh ok

[celest remnant]

i took the initial screenshot and was like

one finger print from posting it

[winged obsidian]

yeah I remember the catalogues they used to have

[celest remnant]
