Hi

[celest remnant]

half of leagues champions are horrible chimeras of other champions

https://tenor.com/view/fma-nina-edward-gif-5031517

[nova matrix]

I think Amumu may also be in this boat

Pendragons crimes are unforgivable

[celest remnant]

"K-led?"

[grim flume]

trauma

[nova matrix]

Both Amumu and Ramus in dota would have been sick

[celest remnant]

@proper olive we don't discuss mods here

[acoustic horizon]

Fullmetal alchemist? I haven't seen it but heard it's good

[celest remnant]

#rules refer to rule14

[proper olive]

oh mb

[grim flume]

watch it

[celest remnant]

yes

[nova matrix]

Though I guess Amumu is just mummy tidehunter with skillshot grapple instead of gush

[proper olive]

mb yall

[celest remnant]

this is kind of a big spoiler so I will not elaborate on the gif unless you really want the context

[acoustic horizon]

I am uh currently busy with uh instagram reels I haven't finished that yet

[grim flume]

get of instagram reeelsssssss

[acoustic horizon]

No

[grim flume]

yes

[celest remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/big-dog-anime-licking-gif-4829316306613547147

Otherwise I'll leave this gif

[acoustic horizon]

No

[celest remnant]

and let you do the math

[grim flume]

yes.

[acoustic horizon]

No.

[grim flume]

yes

[celest remnant]

insta reels are there whenever and rarely contain real experiences

go watcfh full metal alchemist, start with brotherhood

(it is the more digestible version)

[acoustic horizon]

I refuse (In Rohan Kishibe)

[grim flume]

my brother scrolls on insta reels instead of tiktok, strange

tiktok is just better

[acoustic horizon]

Instagram has no filter

[grim flume]

yea i heard instagram has some weird stuff

[gusty vigil]

whats the best great rune for a blasphemous blade build?

[celest remnant]

insta and tiktok moderation is dogwater and possibly even actively malicious with their algorithim

pushin slop

[grim flume]

i feel like it pushes content destined to ragebait me cuz i spend so much time reading comments and watching videos that feel like straight ragebait

[acoustic horizon]

Fr

[celest remnant]

Probably time to set social media down for a minute until you regain the knowledge that NOTHING you ever see on it will effect you personally

[nova matrix]

It literally does yea

This is a thing social media is being sued for

Facebook just lost their first case iirc

Its them or twitter but I think its facebook

Theres over 200 more across the US alone

[celest remnant]

I can't lie I'd scream if facebook actually went down for one reason:All the pictures of my grandma and uncle are on it

[acoustic horizon]

Insta videos either have fairly normal comments or the most diabolical thing you have ever read and there is no inbetween

[celest remnant]

My moms page has essentially been leading up to her eventual death and it's likely the only thing that will serve as an easily visitable headstone

It goes down, those are just lost forever

[nova matrix]

I wouldnt expect it to go down anytime soon, facebook is still major money

[celest remnant]

(or I'd have to talk to my aunt and I'll die first.)

[acoustic horizon]

Why not save those photos on a hard drive?

[nova matrix]

These lawsuits are going to get paid out and the algorithm will be adjusted one way or another

[celest remnant]

Her page

not mine

[acoustic horizon]

Inspect element or something

[nova matrix]

Social media was still popular before these algorithms came into being

Myspace afaik had no trace of this

[inner gyro]

Damn, that fire incident that happened a couple days ago happened just 6 hours away from me.

[celest remnant]

they've been here forever homie even llm research is not new

[acoustic horizon]

6 hours by car?

[celest remnant]

it's only just now coming into light because of generative models

[nova matrix]

I mean more the ragebaiting the youths into terminal brainrot algorithms

[inner gyro]

Yeah, it happened in Ontario.

[celest remnant]

Ye, that's what I mean too

It's not hard to write an algorithim which subtly directs people to more inflammatory content

hold on I'll go do it right now

[vestal moth]

hi

[acoustic horizon]

A 6h drive from where I live you can be 2 countries away

6h away has basically nothing to do with me anymore

[nova matrix]

I tried digging up when facebook first used this specific sued over aspect of their algorithms only to get lost in the multitude of cases that popped into my search

Lads have been getting sued since 2009 for all sorts of things

[inner gyro]

Well, California is a huge state. Hell, it’s the most populated state in the U.S. Going from Crescent City all the way out to Holtville is about a 15 hour drive.

[acoustic horizon]

Y'all sense of scale is weird man

A 2 hour drive I would consider long

[nova matrix]

Welcome to America where literally nothing is close

[celest remnant]

boom, inflammatory algorithims reduced to a very simple mathematical explanation

[acoustic horizon]

Europe is pretty nice, anywhere that's not a neighboring country we fly there

[nova matrix]

Oh algorithms are just econometric equations maximizing for ragebait

[inner gyro]

Crescent City is such a beautiful place, man.

[nova matrix]

Thats funny

[celest remnant]

Yeah, literally it

[nova matrix]

I regret not studying econometrics but goddamn if it isnt intimidating when it goes to scale

[celest remnant]

that's all llms are too, at the end of the day it might feel like some intelligence is maliciously feeding you but even when a human wrench is in the works

it's all math

[opaque marsh]

is it true that there is a area in elden ring still not discovered

[nova matrix]

No

[inner gyro]

The thing is that when I played GTA V for the first time I already knew where most of the locations in the game were located in real life.

[dense grove]

can someone drop me the weapon i want, is there a way of that?

[acoustic horizon]

Trading channels

[celest remnant]

the uh, irl map of gta v settings inspiration and the inspirations map do NOT translate

unless you mean you caught the references

in which case, fair enough

[dense grove]

#trading ?

[acoustic horizon]

#how-to-access-trade-channels

[inner gyro]

I’m mainly talking about the references.

[nova matrix]

Gta 5 map amuses the hell out of me

Is it actually a thing to have such a vast desert on an island?

[inner gyro]

I apologize for the misinterpretation.

[celest remnant]

Sorry I didn't mean to treat you like you're stupid it's just weird to assume people don't mean literally

[nova matrix]

Has AnyAustin investigated this?

[celest remnant]

sometimes, they do, and it's quite scary

[acoustic horizon]

Doesn't gran canaria have a desert?

[torn lichen]

I like mgsv map just wish there was more actual big buildings

[fresh heron]

Gta V is hell theory

[timid echo]

yeah lmao

[nova matrix]

Quick google says it has sand dunes at least

[celest remnant]

bros thinking they're going to navigate an actual city because they've played gta

[torn lichen]

GTA online lobbies are actually purgatory for the worst criminals ever

[acoustic horizon]

Look up pictures they seem pretty big

[grim flume]

do you guys think gta VI will be too realistic

[acoustic horizon]

Ive haven't been there yet so idk

[torn lichen]

Rockstar always nails their stuff

I think it’ll be a great game

[celest remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-cat-cat-cat-on-throne-kitten-cute-kitten-gif-5387306049527952074

my energy

[timid echo]

I remember seeing a tiktok about that , some people are delusional

[torn lichen]

I’m more excited for mgs4 and pw anyhow

mgs4 escapes the wrath of the ps3 after almost 2 decades

[nova matrix]

I'm going to navigate an actual city because I have a gps at all times

[winged obsidian]

kept you waiting huh

[timid echo]

44 quid for it

[acoustic horizon]

As someone who doesn't play gta seeing it flop would be the funniest thing I will have ever witnessed

[worn wigeon]

that cat has way more aura

[torn lichen]

Worth

[celest remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-kazuma-kiryu-pissed-off-gif-14586175

You're right

[winged obsidian]

even if GTA 6 is garbage it's still gonna sell well

[timid echo]

which mgs came out on the psp?

[celest remnant]

peace walker

[timid echo]

ah

[celest remnant]

PUH POW I STILL GOT IT

[winged obsidian]

great game

[inner gyro]

Plus, even the people who don’t reside in California can still tell what the landmarks and references in the game are based on when they first play the game. I mean, the most obvious would be the huge Vinewood Sign located near the Vinewood Hills.

[celest remnant]

you also had portable ops as well

[timid echo]

is Sacramento in Cali

[celest remnant]

but peace walker was the better psp game

[fresh heron]

You ever saw a garbage that cost 3 billion dollars?

[winged obsidian]

wasn't mgs1 on psp

[celest remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/nof-vjp9cw-c-peace-walker-mgs-metal-gear-solid-pw-gif-25811161

[nova matrix]

Yea

[winged obsidian]

yes

[celest remnant]

probably or emulated on it

[acoustic horizon]

I mean it could get a cyberpunk launch tho pretty unlikely

[winged obsidian]

nah I remember they had a bunch of classic ps1 stuff on psp

like the resident evils

[timid echo]

wbt max payne ?

[winged obsidian]

was it? that's pretty cool if it was

[inner gyro]

Is this a genuine question you’re asking?

[dark pawn]

Fahhhhhh

[winged obsidian]

psp was just the ps1 machine

[timid echo]

I'm not from the US

[winged obsidian]

the rpg classic

[fresh heron]

They tried to build that game with an engine that was based on witcher 3, that’s why cyberpunk still feel a bit janky

[winged obsidian]

it is yeah it's the capital

[timid echo]

of Cali?

[celest remnant]

people going "they mapped and emulated a fruitflys brain on hardware we MUST be living in a simulation" when I tell them that fruitflys only have 130'000 neurons

[winged obsidian]

yes

[celest remnant]

and that the gap between us, and them is about 86 billion more

[acoustic horizon]

Fromsoft using the same engine since forever

[inner gyro]

Yes, it’s the capital of California.

[languid merlin]

Who would’ve thought, a PW and PO port coming to all consoles

[winged obsidian]

Cali has like 3 sports teams per sport too

[languid merlin]

Buddha truly is kind

[timid echo]

i watched a movie and it's set in it , movie is called Lady Bird it's pretty good

[inner gyro]

Nah, we have four NBA teams.

[timid echo]

Siddhartha

[fresh heron]

I’m not sure that it makes sense to compare them

[acoustic horizon]

Yeah

Anyways gn chat

[timid echo]

didn't capcom make their own engine ? from re8 onwards

[acoustic horizon]

No idea

[inner gyro]

Well, technically three because both the Lakers and Clippers share the same arena.

[acoustic horizon]

Dunno what capcom does i only have an old zelda game made by them

[celest remnant]

resident evil

https://tenor.com/view/nemesis-nemesis-chase-inferno-nemesis-resident-evil-3-gif-10413199730590829649

[languid merlin]

The guy from dbd!

[timid echo]

what happened to that one resident evil multiplayer game thingy lol

[crystal gate]

don't they make pac-man and stuff?

[languid merlin]

Pretty sure Bandai does

[crystal gate]

oh ye

oops

[fresh heron]

Gonna go and watch a serbian film with a friend, prob the worst idea ever

[timid echo]

watch eyes wide shut with em

[fresh heron]

Eyes wide shut is like nothing compared to that film

[timid echo]

it's better tho

[inner gyro]

Don’t forget that they make quite possibly the greatest fighting game series ever made.

[fresh heron]

Yeah

[timid echo]

marvel Vs capcom ! good one

[winged obsidian]

Jill gets jump scared, hits the griddy and dies

[timid echo]

nah I'm playing

[celest remnant]

marvel vs capcom is aight but it's slowly shifted in quality

best fighting game rn is easily still strive in the mainstream market

then you got melty blood for the more obscure stuff or mugen

https://tenor.com/view/melty-blood-neko-arc-ciel-actress-again-gif-3625153899458762319

[timid echo]

recently there is that invincible Vs game

I tried the demo it's okay ig

[celest remnant]

I sense it may be a cashgrab overall

but yeah i saw that

[timid echo]

I think it has autocombo

[celest remnant]

ewww

I hate assist systems for anyone but the disabled, practice the combo damn it

honestly the vast majority of disabled folks will likely still kick my ass in most fighting games WITHOUT assists

[timid echo]

the only fighting game I was good at was injustice 2 lol

[winged obsidian]

dbfz Auto combo running the game for years

ui Goku with a built in mix

[celest remnant]

I feel like if your game is trying to be accessible instead of assist systems, build a tutorial that actually teaches the player to read the damned combo list and practice them when they want to learn new ones

Adding an assist system that isn't togglable is like going "I don't trust you to have thumbs"

[winged obsidian]

honestly, yeah fighting games not having tutorials/bad tutorials is usually why they're hard to learn

I had to look up what a "meaty" and "frame" were, when I was first learning

i do love any game, fighters included, that let's me turn off motion blur and screen shake though

[opaque marsh]

is 35 min 2 magma blades good

[nova matrix]

Perchance

[patent fable]

1% drop chance, yes

[stone meteor]

Guys i love anchovies on pizza

[gray wraith]

ts is so elden ring accurate bro i feel u

[crystal gate]

beautiful

[hexed knoll]

I love being 40 levels over for a boss it makes it actually fun

[torn lichen]

Wonderful

[stone meteor]

I know it’s so amazing

[royal basin]

I made my Minecraft look really nice but with poor performance

[celest remnant]

https://youtube.com/shorts/9sKpsD0KAEk?si=q4n2Cavx21Yh7l2U this is the most accurate summary of polnareffs existence in part 3 i think i've ever seen

[royal basin]

Sodium is trying so hard to carry but it ain’t working

[faint jay]

Wsp guys, just wanna know how to get two bayle's heart without starting an ng+

[torn lichen]

That’s the neat part

You don’t

[celest remnant]

you start ng+

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[torn lichen]

Both of the spells are trash anyways iirc

[wind sandal]

Me core

[torn lichen]

Stupidly high arcane requirements for mediocre preformance

[royal basin]

Oh my gosh

[faint jay]

Bro doesn't know

[torn lichen]

I guess not

is there some secret to making bayles flame tyranny super overpowered

[royal basin]

Stupid autocorrect but anyways my Minecraft lowkey looks SO GOOD

[outer gate]

the secret is using your imagination

[torn lichen]

Yeah because it sucks booty buns in game

[dawn sable]

You cannot. That item cannot be dropped

[outer gate]

It's useable, but not great yeah

[celest remnant]

can i substitute imagination for large amounts of laboratory grade brown acid

[faint jay]

Dw btw stats are useless without incantations and talismans and these make the difference

[outer gate]

Likely !

[faint jay]

At least i can just rush to the dlc

[wispy bison]

its just bugged i think rn, it cant hit multiple targets

[torn lichen]

Well

are they ever gonna fix it

I thought the last patch of Elden Ring was like last year or something

[nova matrix]

The Nanny is a very amusing show

[celest remnant]

All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

[nova matrix]

Starvation does that

[winged obsidian]

well humans are social creatures

[dawn sable]

We'll get a patch for Tarnished Edition, but whether it will bring balance changes/bug fixes is still unknown

[celest remnant]

When is the poopster patch coming

and what will the features be

[nova matrix]

Also according to the chimpanzees upper respiratory disease will do that

[dawn sable]

I get updated pretty frequently unfortunately

The new features are random

[celest remnant]

Will you emote at elderly women

if not im going with the robot

[dawn sable]

That was added in 1.0

[celest remnant]

damn okay sold

i still can't believe police had to be called because a robot opted to essentially hit the griddy nearby after following her home

and it turned out to have just wandered off from a local enrichment center lololol

[icy sorrel]

What?

[celest remnant]

yeah, a learning center humanoid bot decided it was just going to have a stroll

it encountered an old woman, emoted at her and wouldn't leave

so, she called the cops

[icy sorrel]

lol

[nova matrix]

Why are they putting robots in learning centers

Is this a typo for books

[molten solar]

Is there like a video of this somewhere bc that hilarious

[celest remnant]

the bot in question

same bot being escorted away by chinese police

[nova matrix]

I have the unreserved need to hit that thing with a crowbar

[celest remnant]

(he was just took back to his learning center)

[nova matrix]

I understand philadelphia now

[celest remnant]

happened in Macau, that should be enought o go off if there is a video for u 2 find

[winged obsidian]

destroy the machines

[dawn sable]

Oh my god bro

[celest remnant]

yeah exceptionally funny but also like

why was he outside

what was the llms intent

[outer gate]

they done arrested Chappie 💔

[potent brook]

Hello!

[nova matrix]

Reminds me of an article I read recently that asserted china and the US were on equal levels of AI advancement but in two different fields. US is the brains with the chips and China is the bodies with these robots

[dawn sable]

Pretend I 🎠 reacted you

[nova matrix]

I assume this is because the bodies cannot survive philadelphia

[outer gate]

are you not allowed to anymore

[celest remnant]

MMMMMMMM probably not quite on the spot, anthropic has some insane chassis currently used via teleoperation

[dawn sable]

I had some issues and left cuz I was uh going to delete my account

[celest remnant]

poopster when they realize I've given them image perms again

[outer gate]

I would have missed you

[dawn sable]

Thanks!!!

[edgy parcel]

anyone know any of those guys that just drop boat loads of runes. i’ve alr beat the game on +7 and now i want to feel the power of max level

[celest remnant]

We need to build a teleoperated chassis that can handle a sudden, massive shift in weight

intense factory tool

[dawn sable]

I honestly would've missed you too

[celest remnant]

"power"

[outer gate]

Flattering

[edgy parcel]

need my revenge now 😡

[celest remnant]

max level is a waste man it's only useful because it allows you to switch builds without respeccing

[outer gate]

[celest remnant]

softcaps are a thing

[edgy parcel]

exactly what i fancy

[celest remnant]

the more you spend in a stat, the less you get after points

[celest remnant]

there's WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL over 25 opportunities to respect per run

respec*

[outer gate]

you don't even need to be max level to have an efficient everything build, it's around rl400ish

[hollow flare]

i’ve been playing for a long time but i never understood what keen or quality does

[edgy parcel]

ive plat er twice chill

i know how it all works

just cba ti grind to max level

[hollow flare]

will anyone care to explain

[celest remnant]

So don't go to max level, you're asking for an amount of runes that only a hacker will present you

[edgy parcel]

🤷‍♀️

[celest remnant]

?rule14

[fathom spoke]

Rule 14

Requesting or offering trades/gifts/sales of items or runes is not permitted outside of the channel. If you were not aware of this, please review Rule 14 in #rules and check the #faq.

[outer gate]

Keen makes your weapon scale with dex highly, quality makes it scale with both strength and dex moderately

[hollow flare]

ohh thank you i’m seeing the attribute scaling now it’s all making sense

[celest remnant]

Outside of specific circumstances quality is mostly useless

[outer gate]

Yeahh it only becomes useful when you're well overlevelled, and still manages to be outclassed by heavy/keen on certain weapons lol

[celest remnant]

I seem to remember a good vacuum blade build that utilized quality scaling

but like, that's about it

OH wait no the uh

[outer gate]

Heavy swordlance and keen guardian's swordspear namely will outperform their quality counterparts even on 80/80

[celest remnant]

dragonborn halberd uses quality

and that weapon overall is just lovely

[outer gate]

Yeah a few sombers want quality, but most lean into one

dragon halberd prefers strength, bloodhound's prefers dex etc

[celest remnant]

fs where's our ice lightning specific area in sote huh

HUUUUUUUUUUH

[proud bronze]

Artemis 2 is landing today

[languid merlin]

aww too fast

[outer gate]

Only real true quality weapon would be like, the dragon hunter great katana, gets an equal low scaling in both

[hazy sand]

Hello

[outer gate]

hallo

[proud bronze]

Hi

[celest remnant]

I'm gonna land YOU buddy! Land you in hot water!

[hazy sand]

How y’all

[celest remnant]

Also you sticking with us dain?

[proud bronze]

Please don’t

[languid merlin]

hot water is just regular water for me.

[proud bronze]

Well not really but Maymay didn’t remove my role 😭

[celest remnant]

lince has to be boiled like a lobster to bathe confirmed

[crystal willow]

Hiiii

[languid merlin]

I wouldn’t mind tasting like a lobster 😮‍💨

[proud bronze]

I kept getting pings during my appointment and was wondering why

[languid merlin]

though I’d much prefer crawfish

[celest remnant]

the call of the ring

[outer gate]

I wonder if the towels are done washing

[languid merlin]

Yoo hoo

[proud bronze]

My poor doctor

[celest remnant]

(the ring of idiots here pinging you ofc)

[proud bronze]

Well it was the mod ping so what can ya do

[celest remnant]

before anyone goes "that's mean logic" remember I am one of you idiots

[languid merlin]

I know right

[proud bronze]

I definitely just hate going to the doctors though

They never have good news

I mean no, they do have them

[languid merlin]

all they talk about is health and whatever

booorriiing

[proud bronze]

Yes, very

I want a cartoon playing during that

[languid merlin]

damn right

gimme some daredevil

[proud bronze]

I just want lord of the rings and stuff

[languid merlin]

still have never watched lotr nor the Hobbit

[proud bronze]

Give me joy and happiness

[proud bronze]

Read the books

[languid merlin]

I’ll probably read them then watch the extended

[proud bronze]

Yes

[languid merlin]

yep

[faint jay]

Best 5hours of content

[languid merlin]

hmmm Kung Fu Panda takes the top

But I’ll keep a open mind for a possible second place

[faint jay]

Not above lotr let's be honest

[proud bronze]

I watched the first one and then stopped

[languid merlin]

might be the biggest mistake of one’s life

[brave knot]

Just got Elden ring in the big 2026

[languid merlin]

I’ll have to see when I watch

[languid merlin]

Mid game, get a refund

[inner gyro]

Over LOTR? I’m not gonna lie I couldn’t really get into Kung Fu Panda.

[brave knot]

So where’s this great filter thing

[outer gate]

[languid merlin]

to each their own of course

[brave knot]

Looks familiar

[languid merlin]

but the soundtrack alone makes it a top 10

The dialogue, character dynamics, development, and overall atmosphere and plot

All divine, especially the choreography

[mortal thorn]

amazing pfp

[cold falcon]

:guh:

[mortal thorn]

guh

[brave knot]

Thx

It’s my idol

[celest remnant]

@proud bronze Would you say Gandalfs biggest strength in the conflict between the Istari was quite literally treating the people Saruman viewed as "small" properly? He chose to walk middle earth as a guest and a friend rather than a conquerer which defied the Maya creedo.

[mortal thorn]

yeah he’s lowkey my idol too

[celest remnant]

Because of this, he always has a place to lay his head, willing comrades for anything he needs.

[wispy bison]

hi logic

[celest remnant]

waddup iris

[brave knot]

I chose the prisoner class cause it looked funny

[nova matrix]

Good choice

[brave knot]

But also lore for my character

[wispy bison]

i look like anya mouthwashing

[trim juniper]

Is that my boy brownie

[flint halo]

I've been currently getting back into reading, got a lot of book series to get through

[trim juniper]

Oh... nope

[nova matrix]

I dont like animals wearing clothes

Fish are ok though

[shrewd vigil]

Hi guys, I'm new to elden ring and have been really struggling with the fire giant phase 2, is it possible for someone to help?

[earnest portal]

Hi low everyone

[proud bronze]

Pretty much yeah

[royal scaffold]

Morgott is ao annoying; probably my fault for not playing the game in 6 months tho

[hot panther]

SARUMAN... The stinki

[bright depot]

I dont know if i buy elden ring or no someone can say me if it worth is price

[crude wing]

Where do I ask for a drop

[hot panther]

SARUMAN! The ugly

[wispy bison]

#playstation-co-op

[plush bear]

well they were literaly sent to guide the people of middle earth and only gandalf followed his orders and was not sidetracks. saruman was suposed to be the political leader but was charmed by the one ring, radagast was suposed to help the bond between man and beast but was sidetracked by his love of animals and isolated himself. both blue wizards went missing in the east (suposedly dead)

[cold holly]

Is the dlc hard be honest with me

[wispy bison]

@celest remnant my hair is dry now and i look like lesbian griffith

on my villain era

[meager forum]

is the dlc worth it

[mortal thorn]

i gotta play the dlc one day

[meager forum]

i wish we knew more about the blue wizards

[dawn sable]

What??? Are you leaving??

[proud bronze]

I’m leaving the mod team due to health reasons yeah

[dawn sable]

Oh god

[wispy bison]

the reasons is the poison i put in the mod water supply

[dawn sable]

I hope you're alright :((

[proud bronze]

I’m not leaving the server or anything

[proud bronze]

I’m okay, kind of. Doctors said it’s nothing that won’t improve so ye

[dawn sable]

That's great news, man

I hope you get better soon ❤️‍🩹

[proud bronze]

Thats very evil and my wife will be very angry

[proud bronze]

I hope so too. Sucks being sick. But i’m happy I can even still be home and stuff. Just not allowed to do anything that could induce stress

(They don’t have to know about Monster Hunter)

[dawn sable]

That's okay, MH isn't that stressful anyways...

As long as you don’t fight Fatalis or something…

[sacred stratus]

Tips for astel the natural born?

[meager forum]

astel looks cool asf

[mortal thorn]

that’s a good tip

I don’t think thats a tip

💀

[proud bronze]

But it is true

[meager forum]

ik but still😭

[sacred stratus]

Im just gonna use chatgpt man

[proud bronze]

Nuh uh

Go to #community-help

They didn’t answer

[proud bronze]

Chatgpt is just bad lmao

[dawn sable]

White Fatalis on MH4U was so cool though...

Deathgrips is bad anyway

Just listen to machine girl instead

Deathgrips feels like something a hipster would say they like but doesn't actually like

Did yall know you cant access don or any of the everdarks if you dont have gamepass

I don't even have NR

[winged obsidian]

i love them but don't like maybe 85% of their stuff so

it's an acquired taste

Why cant I play them solo if I dont have access to online play

[wheat comet]

yeah, only old people seem to like it

[kind quail]

I feel like thats different
Cause if you like black licorice I think you might just be weird

[hoary jay]

[winged obsidian]

tastes are weird

[wheat comet]

Cause it tastes terrible

[kind quail]

Old people dont have taste buds anymore

[wheat comet]

Exactly

My grandma adds 2 inches of pepper like snow and says it tastes fine

[kind quail]

Zamn

[hoary jay]

If you smoke ur taste buds are rip

[wheat comet]

When you think about it, smoking is cooking your insides

[celest remnant]

Not true, you need to smoke for an extended period to actually kill your sense of taste and it's not really about the buds, those are fine

[kind quail]

Dont smoke, kids

[celest remnant]

The real problem is the raspatory issues that smoking brings

What is taste linked to?

[kind quail]

Your nervous system

[hoary jay]

Well I've smoked over half of my life does that count?

[kind quail]

The haptic feedback system

[celest remnant]

Smell. It's the thing and a major part of how our brain even formulates what a food "might" taste like.

[kind quail]

I do that
But its usually because its already in my mouth

[celest remnant]

Me too, so it's better to get the science

[kind quail]

I had a really yummy sandwhich 5 minutes ago

[wheat comet]

Why smoke, that's bad for you

[kind quail]

Fake cigs for the fashion

[celest remnant]

Same reason we commit vice, it's good for you in ways but bad for you in others

[hoary jay]

Death is also bad for you but it'll happen anyway

[kind quail]

I cant stand the smell of cigs or weed so I have a natural repellent

[celest remnant]

smoking can lower your cortisol, keeps you focused thanks to the nicotine

[kind quail]

Low cortisol 👀

[wheat comet]

A very nihilistic view

[celest remnant]

lower, it won't keep your levels low it's better as an emergency thing

You been working in a kitchen for 9 hours straight?

slip out back, have a smoke, at that point, you deserve it

[hoary jay]

Im a bit on the special end, I dont even know what that means

[kind quail]

Do thats why they all smoke

[kind quail]

Boo hoo everything sucks and everything stupid
Basically

[wheat comet]

It's the belief that nothing matters so it shouldn't matter or something like that I'm not a philosopher

[celest remnant]

Yep. Lowers your coritsol and sharpens your focus, helps you remain calm

[true rover]

How do yall focus more after smoking
Last time i smoked i got sick and my head started feeling like a drum

[celest remnant]

You wanna smoke or drink? Do it in moderation, know when to set it down.

[languid merlin]

anything in regulation is completely safe. Listen to your local lince.

[kind quail]

Treat them like someone with a PhD in organic chemistry

[wheat comet]

Ah yes, my favorite belief system, moderation

[celest remnant]

This is the normal experience, while your brain is getting the chemical you aren't used to the hot air you're breathing in.

You need practice.

[kind quail]

I just lock in

[faint jay]

I've never met a smoker smoking with moderation though

[true rover]

Oh

[kind quail]

Name 5 moderators

[celest remnant]

It gets easier with time but this is also when actually practicing moderation is harder, and becomes more about discipline.

[hoary jay]

Smokers are mostly addicts even know most of them wont admit it

[wheat comet]

Logic Matt Dain uhm

[true rover]

Maybe ill try again when im 18 but that experience wasnt as fun or cool as i expected

[celest remnant]

I do, I keep it to a schedule and a consumed amount of marijuana in a day, this keeps me out of pain, but coherent and capable of working.

[languid merlin]

Most addicts won’t admit it

[wheat comet]

I didn't know there were that many

[celest remnant]

This is a poor assumption, medical marijuana users are common man

be better

[hoary jay]

Im an addict over half my life playing games and smoking and loving every second 😂

[celest remnant]

Cool, you know a few people out of a WILDLY larger population

[languid merlin]

I thought he was Opal

[faint jay]

I mean , since how many years or months did u start

[celest remnant]

likely not even enough of a sample size to consider the amount you know a poll

[celest remnant]

I am 31

[kind quail]

Might as well ask for days hours minutes and seconds

[languid merlin]

What times and places

[kind quail]

Is it a controlled or biased sample🤔

[languid merlin]

oooh and also what flavor!

[hoary jay]

More common than you think where im from but ok bud

[kind quail]

You from cigtopia

[true rover]

Dont forget the air direction

[wheat comet]

Addiction is everywhere and doesn't necessarily have to be tied to a substance

[languid merlin]

If only I had snakes cigar v#pe

[velvet canopy]

isnt this all a personal choice T_T

[celest remnant]

Do you know 500'000 people and are you capable of polling enough of them? Also how many will actually admit they're addicts for a poll to begin with? Generalization is the tool of the uninformed.

Yes, thank you sinn.

[kind quail]

Am I a personal choice

[languid merlin]

No

[wheat comet]

Always in the end

[hoary jay]

Mr know it all of the sudden blowing my high

[kind quail]

Hes called Logic for a reason

[faint jay]

8 years of smoking without any health problem ? That's a high level of self control ig that's why you're on an elden ring serv

[languid merlin]

I like making grammatical errors on mobile, it makes me look like a dunce

[velvet canopy]

judging others for doing something you dont choose to do is not a good trait

[celest remnant]

I'm on an elden ring server because I've had a love affair with fromsoftware games since kingsfield despite the jank

[kind quail]

Whos the affair with

saying smoking is bad is something that we all know, but everything is bad for you, even too much water can kill you lol

[true rover]

The entire team

[languid merlin]

I’ve come to believe that attacking the elderly is probably bad.

[wheat comet]

The line between right and wrong is drawn by perception

[velvet canopy]

in these circumstances absolutely

[celest remnant]

Medicine itself is unironically a balancing act of "How much of this can I put into my body before it stops being a solution and becomes a problem."

[kind quail]

Well im pretty sure right and left are pretty obvious 🤔

[faint jay]

My love for fromsoftware is the only toxic love i tolerate

[velvet canopy]

i have relatives that have smoked longer than i have been alive and they live happy decent lives

do what you want as long as you arent overdoing it

[languid merlin]

quite true

[wheat comet]

^

A lil bit of dying is okay gng

[true rover]

If fromsoftware was a love partner theyd be the most abusing partner ever

[celest remnant]

My genetics are also quite good, this isn't just flex my mom has been worrying about my blood pressure so I let her take it

125/74 AFTER an espresso

[wheat comet]

I wouldn't say abusive

[kind quail]

Lets see Paul Allen's blood pressure

[celest remnant]

she is like 1/10th my size and is only 25 points better than me+hadn't drank coffee

I hope fromsoftware is a tall abusing malenia irl

[wheat comet]

5'3?

[celest remnant]

I am 6'1 bud my mom is absolutely tiny

she stands like, 4'9

[languid merlin]

Yeah logic is 5’3

[winged obsidian]

my mom is like one inch shorter than me

[languid merlin]

According to my reconnaissance

[faint jay]

Remember the tarnished wasn't allowed to touch the elden ring yet he did

[winged obsidian]

5'11 she is

very large genetics

I get that, I stopped and opened a pastebin just to show @nova matrix how search alogrithims can be used to direct people to inflammatory content

If you can pull off a man bun, I’ll be impressed

[nova matrix]

Is there an algorithm for directing people into my techies mines in dota 2

[true rover]

Ill be impressed with my self if i managed to do it

[languid merlin]

Isn’t dota the original moba?

[celest remnant]

You could probably make one I'm sure

[nova matrix]

I have done nothing but ragebait people with funny traps for days now

[languid merlin]

Lemme check

[nova matrix]

Really this is just a heatmap of walking paths lol

Its only on my mind because I'm spamming techies so much

[kind quail]

Is Dota like Leroy jenkins

[nova matrix]

It can be

I usually endeavor to be leroy

[celest remnant]

The craziest part is how simple this equation actually is and yet how damaging its effects can actually be on a users search experience

w1 * C is just weight times comments, that's enough to solve the rest, if the score from this algorithim exceeds a threshold you are shown the content

[winged obsidian]

ragebait keeps people engaged

[faint jay]

Uh that's too much computer language for me to understand the best thing i did was downloading a pokemon randomizer

[pseudo goblet]

How can I get to the lake of rot quickly if I haven’t started rannis questline

[nova matrix]

You dont

[languid merlin]

That’s a very good viet cong impression

[pseudo goblet]

I see

[winged obsidian]

hence the increasing prevalence of ragebait bots

[nova matrix]

I am indeed in the trees

[celest remnant]

all the "w" variables are weights, and the numbered variables are factors to consider when showing people inflammatory content on a platform like youtube

[wheat comet]

enraged*

[languid merlin]

Silly communist

[winged obsidian]

both

[nova matrix]

Almost

[celest remnant]

If we do w1 * C and assume C=32 because 32 comments were left on a video, that would leave the weights value (starting at 0) at a whopping 32

[nova matrix]

Theres one before it but dota is the first real moba people played

[languid merlin]

Ah, thanks for the info

[nova matrix]

The oldest of the lot still alive by far

[celest remnant]

This is also why viewbotting is bannable on many streaming platforms

you influence the weights of the algorithim with enough of it, leading to an unfair advantage

[faint jay]

Interesting but my alogrithim on YouTube is absolute ahh

[celest remnant]

Probably, while these functions as a "judge" on what content to show you it doesn't actually quality control the content itself

[nova matrix]

Make a new account

[celest remnant]

so, if you've seen a piece of slop, your algorithim is probably tainted

^

OR

get off that one for a month

generally weights will shift back to 0 without user input

[wheat comet]

If only it were so easy...

Wait nevermind I misread

[celest remnant]

Depends on the platform but it IS kinda that easy for youtube

google lets you roll new accounts like it's nothing

[celest remnant]

switch accounts for a bit, then switch back after a month or so

[faint jay]

Or just let's use search bar

[celest remnant]

also true yeah but if you don't wanna be fed slop in shorts or something

that's how you reset it

[kind quail]

Is YouTube algorithm for switching your thumbnail to see how many clicks you get really just that simple? Calculating viewer watch times based on the diff thumbnails
Or Is it more complex

[faint jay]

Ty man

[wheat comet]

Discord doesn't consider "Nevermind" a word anymore

[celest remnant]

it's that simple believe it or not, when you linger on a video you are immediately effecting the weight of content like that

(for your account, it takes a HUGE amount of actual influence to alter existing overall weights, which goes back to the viewbotting problem)

[kind quail]

Fascinating

What social media app has the most evil Algorithm

[celest remnant]

My vote is for tiktok because they both allow ccp accounts to shovel propaganda and slop, and generally have no guardrails

[alpine cipher]

How much does it affect the algorithm if you click on a video but only watch it for 2 seconds? Does yt consider that a full watch time?

[urban delta]

i don’t think so

[celest remnant]

Nah, it's not even a blip on the radar unless you just regularly click off content like that

[ornate dew]

i'd be much more concerned with US propaganda these days

[celest remnant]

concern should be with propaganda at all

[ornate dew]

thanks oracle

[languid merlin]

Don’t even wanna think about Somalian propaganda

[celest remnant]

yellow journalism stinky truth best

waiter waiter NO more infotainment please thank you

Why is it yellow

[kind quail]

Can any propaganda truly be nonbiased

[alpine cipher]

Hmm I see. I’m worried that I’ll accidentally click on ai slop and youtube suddenly think thats all I wanna see

[celest remnant]

It was a term coined for "infotainment"

less truth, more fun

[languid merlin]

Over expressed

[urban delta]

it’s inherently biased

[wheat comet]

Why are you guys feeding me real info

[celest remnant]

because real info is awesome

[kind quail]

Exactly

[languid merlin]

I’ll balance it out with the fact that unicorns are fake

[celest remnant]

imagine if we all just got our news from ai slop

[wheat comet]

[wheat comet]

You're right...

[kind quail]

Oh wait

[celest remnant]

nobody would know what to believe

[languid merlin]

Then we can all agree on information! Yaaaayyy!

[kind quail]

We do

It isnt that its scary but i was so gullible and stupid id think that this would happen to me

[celest remnant]

you're talking about a size we don't have the physical capacity for yet

but it's theoretically possible yeah

[languid merlin]

ok, thanks

[true rover]

Its possible but the second its opened whatever device is used would just pop cuz it cant handle it or am i wrong

Not pop more like shut down or something

[celest remnant]

RN to put it into perspective, even with our best physical storage options you'd need a facility the size of several large data centers to house a storage system that large. An exabyte is about the equivalent of every word ever spoken by humanity, and we have to store it in the same place we store a large hadron collider.

[celest remnant]

wrong, it's not currently in existence and the framework would be very expensive to even ATTEMPT to get a data storage operation that large running

[true rover]

So basically it would take a decade or so of constant day and night working to have a chance of it existing

[languid merlin]

Very interesting

[celest remnant]

Yes, but we'll also just likely naturally get there.

We didn't think that quantum data transfer was a thing 50 years ago

and then we found extra space in freaking existing cable lines just being unused

[true rover]

Oh i didnt know that till now lol

[celest remnant]

Oh I've been following the development of quantum computing for awhile

[true rover]

Nice

[celest remnant]

microsoft already has the first quantum powered CPU

[true rover]

I saw that

Its insane

[celest remnant]

It's surprisingly compact but the real problem is the temp it has to be kept at

that's what prevents it from being pushed to commercialization

[true rover]

Ye i heard its in a cold box 24/7 just for it not to get destroyed

[celest remnant]

quantum states fall apart if they aren't kept in a state of stasis via extreme cold

[languid merlin]

below freezing?

[celest remnant]

So cold it is damaging to the touch

[languid merlin]

wow.

[celest remnant]

think dry ice on steroids

[languid merlin]

So pretty damn cold

[true rover]

Basically at a mount everest level of freezing

[languid merlin]

how do we even produce such temperature?

[celest remnant]

oh that's easy man, we've been able to hit temp extremes for decades

creamtoriums reach 3000 degrees on their own

(this is the bare minimum to consume flesh and bone)

[languid merlin]

I meant more on the cold side

[celest remnant]

Extremely powerful refrigeration+compact, enclosed airlocks.

colder space=temp drops much faster

smaller space rather

[languid merlin]

ah, so creating a vacuum? Or am I completely wrong

an area void of heat

[true rover]

Basically imagine a locker that stores meat but 10x the power

[languid merlin]

in theory

[celest remnant]

nah, just abusing thermodynamics, but we have created a break in the gravitational forces of an area many times before

[celest remnant]

Decent analogy yeah

Hadron colliders exist to smash particles together at the speed of light (or 99.99999999% of it)

this can produce many things, we've even made gold

[true rover]

Still surprised microsoft is the one to create it

[celest remnant]

(very, minute, particles of it but, insane)

[true rover]

I never thought it would be them

[languid merlin]

oh definitely

I’ve heard of the topic but never dove into it

[celest remnant]

We've also discovered the nature of black holes thanks to hadron colliders

they are forces of gravity so dense that they begin to effect the passage of time

This is known as time dilation. You often hear people speak of spaghettification when they talk about black holes but they usually fail to elaborate.

If you were to fall into a black hole, and drift towards its event horizon (the center) to your perception, you may never reach it

[languid merlin]

That’d probably suck

[celest remnant]

The gravitational forces will slowly rip you apart as you do.

this is the "spaghetti" they're referring to

as you do, your perception of time slows to a crawl

[true rover]

Btw other than this topic i also discovered that scientists capture atoms like irl atoms not a picture

Which is crazy to me

[celest remnant]

so, it's essentially the worst torture you could ever experience

[languid merlin]

the pun wasn’t even intended

thats crazy

[celest remnant]

oh yeah, we've been capturing atoms since before I was alive

[true rover]

Thats wild tbh

[languid merlin]

Woah, 1870’s…

[true rover]

Nah thats way too early in 1870s logic wasnt even a seed

[celest remnant]

That's how our hadron collider we were talking about works

[true rover]

Probably the 1660s

[languid merlin]

No I’m just calling him old

[celest remnant]

you capture atoms and smash them together at barely .1% off from the speed of light

[true rover]

Ye i know

[languid merlin]

you too

[coral viper]

pluh

[true rover]

Fuh u mean me too im younger than both u and logic

[true rover]

Isnt smashing an atom results in a big boom

Like atomic level

[languid merlin]

Age is a concept made by Italy

[celest remnant]

This is when MANY atoms suffer being pushed to criticality in an enclosed space

[true rover]

Oh im guessing they fixed that problem

[celest remnant]

(when you close them up, they get excited, and begin to crash together)

[true rover]

Lmao

[celest remnant]

nah, hadron colliders still give off radiation
