chronic ass hearing loss

[thin bobcat]

As if the performance was rampant before, it was shit before as well but now it feels even fucking worse, before it was just shit when switching channels or something, now it's just generally shit

[hearty wyvern]

Imagine not losing your hearing to artillery rounds like us cool ppl

[hexed stag]

did you serve as artillery crew? holy shit

[real aspen]

i've been to goddamn country's leading audiologist and he got confused cause he doesnt remember encountering anything like my case

[hearty wyvern]

Get a better country expert

Honestly? Never, that shit would cost thousands a month to run lmao

Whenever Discord shuts down, you are all free, you can touch grass, socialise, eat dirt, have a bbq, meet your family, eat dirt

[real aspen]

[hearty wyvern]

Oh God they sell gorilla tag gift cards

[thin bobcat]

Don't get me wrong but you are far from the norm lmao

[real aspen]

I am not surprised in the slightest about that statement

[orchid lotus]

[real aspen]

but also

i've never eaten bbq

[hearty wyvern]

Real

[real aspen]

[hearty wyvern]

You haven't lived

[real aspen]

bbq is a fantasy

[thin bobcat]

so you've eaten dirt but not bbq

[real aspen]

quite a something yeah

[thin bobcat]

[hearty wyvern]

I want a new spawn figure but they don't have new ones stocked

[real aspen]

i've also eaten tree leaves and bark

[hexed stag]

bruh

[real aspen]

not the supposed-to-eat type

like just random tree

think it was birch

[orchid lotus]

[real aspen]

or whichever one has those eye shaped spots

[hearty wyvern]

Probably a birch

[thin bobcat]

you know, I think that's the kinda shit I would not use as a conversation starter

Just saying

[hearty wyvern]

They're all edible

[orchid lotus]

I think its very intriguing

I ate a fly once

[thin bobcat]

It's one way to not have any matches on Tinder

[oak magnet]

never had shashlik

or a grill

[thin bobcat]

You live in Slovakia

[orchid lotus]

bold of you to assume any of us is on tinder

[real aspen]

does that count as bbq

[hearty wyvern]

I dunno know why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die

[oak magnet]

well its grilled

[thin bobcat]

Fair enough

[orchid lotus]

you remember

[oak magnet]

isnt a bbq just a grill

[broken mountain]

Uhhh

[hearty wyvern]

No

[real aspen]

i've had shashlik over open fire

[broken mountain]

Is that a medical condition?

[real aspen]

not on grill

[broken mountain]

You were born with something?

[real aspen]

no i was simply curious

[thin bobcat]

Never ate bbq but ate leaves, bark and dirt

[oak magnet]

oh that sounds good

open fire

ive always had it on a grill

on coals

[orchid lotus]

yeah thats what I thought, isn't it just a get together to show who can put most meat on da grill?

[real aspen]

wood fire

[thin bobcat]

So you were curious about the usually considered inedible things but not about the beauty of bbq?

[broken mountain]

I mean I am a curious person and I never ate tree bark

[oak magnet]

man i can imagine how good that is

[quiet abyss]

dude im just asking mate chill

[oak magnet]

smokey flavours

mmmm

[quiet abyss]

you said today

[orchid lotus]

speaking of, I once snorted chalk

[quiet abyss]

its today

[broken mountain]

I didnt lick the door handle at winter aswell

[oak magnet]

why would anyone

[thin bobcat]

I am honestly just going to switch the bot to the release discord token and let the mods decide whenever they want to give it a go

[oak magnet]

do that

[orchid lotus]

did you know snorting chalk can induce a short fewer?

[hearty wyvern]

Maybe I should buy some 20 gauge and go shooting after I get back

[quiet abyss]

huh? XD

[oak magnet]

[quiet abyss]

idk what that means

[oak magnet]

[quiet abyss]

Discord Bots work like that, you have a token which is bound to a bot account, I have created 2 of those bots, one for testing and one for release

The release bot is on this server, the testing bot is not

When I switch out the tokens, it'll run on this server

and im curious about lot of things most would consider unusual or unhealthy to wonder about

[proven tundra]

[quiet abyss]

[quiet abyss]

lmaooo

[proven tundra]

I'm a redneck

[quiet abyss]

dont buy it there

[orchid lotus]

oooh, crossbow sounds fun, I once got to shoot a medival one

[real aspen]

ie im curious on what it's like to be depressed or have a trauma, or what's it like to freeze to death, things that you cant really safely and intentionally experience

[quiet abyss]

they dont have the good crossbows

[turbid shuttle]

Mother was Greek, Greek was one of my first languages along with English.

[oak magnet]

depression isnt fun

[quiet abyss]

you want one from a better place

[hearty wyvern]

[oak magnet]

oh damn didnt know that

[real aspen]

dont care, im curious

[orchid lotus]

a right, the fun restriction

[oak magnet]

well its hard, some brains are more susceptible to depression and such

[quiet abyss]

wait, whats the draw weight on the crossbow

[turbid shuttle]

Mother was Greek and Danish, born in Greece. Father was German and Italian, born in Germany.

[hearty wyvern]

Depression is not fun

I'm not traumatized yet

Freezing to death is unpleasant

[oak magnet]

sometimes its random, sometimes its caused by a trigger/event

[thin bobcat]

Depression is like an addiction, you get in but you rarely get out easy, I, at the very least, would recommend not trying to get depressed

[quiet abyss]

answer the fuckin question mate

[oak magnet]

but mostly its just, being numb, a bit empty and not feeling as much in anything

in your hobbies, life, the future

[quiet abyss]

[real aspen]

how would i even get depressed

[turbid shuttle]

Thats actually a good way of putting it

[real aspen]

i barely feel anything

[oak magnet]

have one of your parents die maybe

[hearty wyvern]

Can't tell off box but it claims

370 fps with a 380 gram arrow

[real aspen]

done

[quiet abyss]

hmm

[real aspen]

felt nothing

[oak magnet]

oh

[real aspen]

unfortunately

[quiet abyss]

yeah im not sure, should have draw weight on there

[left mantle]

OH and a bunch of ships got rebalanced, there's now freelance jobs that can target a specfic person, pochven got a HUGE buff (I know someone who'd be mad about this), and autothysian lancers will not be in high sec anymore

[hearty wyvern]

It's got a red dot

[oak magnet]

maybe you already are depressed tbh, its not the same for everyone

[quiet abyss]

if its any less than like, 60, not really useful

i got a 90 i believe?

mightve been in the hundreds

no idea though, havent used it in ages

[hearty wyvern]

Found it 165lbs

[oak magnet]

for me its just, a persistent emptiness, lack of motivation or passion in things i do or used to do, energy drain, wierd sleep

[quiet abyss]

oh thats very nice actually

[oak magnet]

im never truely happy

at all

[real aspen]

i have no passion about anything

[oak magnet]

always on the brink

[real aspen]

but motivation is a lie

just do it

[quiet abyss]

im impressed by wally world rn

[hearty wyvern]

Can't tell the like draw distance

[quiet abyss]

they got functional crossbows

[oak magnet]

hmmm

[quiet abyss]

the big thing is the weight

[hearty wyvern]

I'll send a pic to your dms if interested

[quiet abyss]

sure

i can take a look

[oak magnet]

you should read the DSM entry on depression and maybe see a doctor if u wanna know for sure

[real aspen]

or, to flip it, i have passion for too much. so it kinda loses the effect

[turbid shuttle]

Only addiction I have is caffeine, cant function without a coffee in the morning

[zealous depot]

[oak magnet]

my addictions are mostly sugar, and ive been moderating

[real aspen]

eh it's unlikely

[oak magnet]

im not addicted to the other things i do, i just enjoy them alot

[real aspen]

im quite chipper

[oak magnet]

i said the same thing until i came to terms

[real aspen]

and find happiness in small things

and big things

[oak magnet]

its not that you cant feel happiness

but like

[hearty wyvern]

You can be depressed and happy

[real aspen]

guh

[oak magnet]

things are just, greyer

[real aspen]

all that

emotion thing is confusing

[oak magnet]

emotions are

[real aspen]

sometimes im glad to be a psycho

[oak magnet]

adhd gave me really bad emotional dysfunction

[real aspen]

not having to deal with all that

[turbid shuttle]

I used to have a pretty bad alcohol and nicotine about 10-15 years ago

[oak magnet]

really fun getting pissed at small things and disregard bigger issues

[turbid shuttle]

100% took a couple years off my life

[oak magnet]

but u quit nic right?

so your heart and lungs probably better, good you did it early

[turbid shuttle]

Quit both, for the most part. I sometimes drink on the weekends

[oak magnet]

are you like dexter

[turbid shuttle]

[oak magnet]

“oh im numb and dont feel shit” but you still kinda do

[real aspen]

define feeling

[oak magnet]

emotion, attachment

[real aspen]

it's more of conscious thought rather than instinct for me

[oak magnet]

varying degrees

[hearty wyvern]

Walmart is selling the pump master

[thin bobcat]

Depression can come from anything if you're susceptible enough, a girl you like / are together with getting her back blown out by a different dude, losing your pet of 10 years, whatever you are attached to being ripped out of your life can lead to depression

[oak magnet]

can also just, happen

human brains are a mess of wires

that fuck up

[real aspen]

i suppose i'd kill myself if i lost my sight

or my legs

or arms

[oak magnet]

im fine with losing a leg

[real aspen]

but that's about all i can think of off top of my head

yeah i dont think i want to lose any body parts

or functions

[oak magnet]

i never understood the whole drink away the pain thing

[real aspen]

that'd be bad

[thin bobcat]

But it can also have a different effect, instead of depression, you could end up having attachment problems

[oak magnet]

i just feel more when i drink

so i drink more pain

[thin bobcat]

Anything can lead to anything pretty much, depends on you honestly

[oak magnet]

can be genetic also

could just be born depressed

[real aspen]

especially with something like me

[olive coral]

cant you also get that shit from like seasons

[oak magnet]

ive been this way for as long as i remember

[hexed stag]

the 65%(?) ABV Whiskey

[oak magnet]

[thin bobcat]

I am not a psychiatrist, I could not tell you but maybe?

[olive coral]

[turbid shuttle]

[oak magnet]

its a thing afaik

[olive coral]

idk last winter i felt like shit for no reason

[oak magnet]

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/seasonal-affective-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20364651

[turbid shuttle]

But hey wind, thats whisky is the best tasting whisky I've had in a long ass time

[oak magnet]

it can depend yeah

i love winter and hate summer

too hot in summer

[hexed stag]

perhaps for a 'war' reason?

[oak magnet]

and night doesnt come quick enough

[olive coral]

didnt have it for 2 years, why now

[thin bobcat]

I feel great during winter, love that season

[oak magnet]

winter is the bomb

[olive coral]

yeah i like winter

[hexed stag]

ok idk

[oak magnet]

when it gets dark at 3-4pm

my jam

[thin bobcat]

Summer is aight, don't like the fact that I need to take meds every morning and evening

But it's not as bad

[oak magnet]

hayfever?

[olive coral]

huh why?

[thin bobcat]

Yup

[olive coral]

allergies?

[oak magnet]

fucking HATE hayfever with all my heart

[olive coral]

fuck is hayfever

[oak magnet]

i get it really badly

[oak magnet]

pollen allergy

[olive coral]

sucks to be you

[oak magnet]

so when grass starts releasing pollen from may-july

its HELL

[olive coral]

never knew an allergy

so good

[oak magnet]

need a steroid spray, eyedrops and this specific allergy med to be semi fine

but never fully fucking fine

[thin bobcat]

I just take my pills and I am gucci

[oak magnet]

i tried all the pills, none worked

[thin bobcat]

Couldn't think of my life before Allegra

[oak magnet]

apart from fexofenadine hydrochloride

thats the only one that works, and its the most expensive

:(

fucking grass pollen can suck me

[thin bobcat]

I also tried some prescribed meds against my allergy but it didn't work as well as the over-the-counter one

But the recommended dosage is like 10mg a day, I take 40mg

[real aspen]

anyway to expand on 'it's a conscious thought and less of instinct' thing.
best way i can put it is, imagine, someone flipped me off, I recognize that as a rude gesture, and a response to a rude gesture is likely anger, so i have a choice to either be angry or not care

[hexed stag]

any sideffects?

[thin bobcat]

None

At least not that I could think of any

[oak magnet]

i wish the meds i used were the drowsy kind

[thin bobcat]

Maybe a dry nose

Like dry nostrils

[real aspen]

my most frequent feeling is mildly annoyed

[oak magnet]

the ones that work dont drowsy

but the ones that didnt work made me drowsy

[oak magnet]

so u do feel things

i think you should get that whole thing checked out professionally personally

[real aspen]

probably

[thin bobcat]

Yeah like cetirizine

[real aspen]

i did

[thin bobcat]

Shit did not work

[oak magnet]

yeah same

[thin bobcat]

Just makes you tired

[oak magnet]

but the sleep was nice

although with a lack of nose

[real aspen]

Therapist said I'm all good

[oak magnet]

i need to buy some as a sleep aid acc

[real aspen]

(because im damn good liar and actor)

[proven tundra]

That is a lot of changes

[oak magnet]

then thats ur fault lmao

[real aspen]

see

my idea is

[oak magnet]

literally is

[thin bobcat]

Funny enough, it literally never worked for anyone I know

[oak magnet]

also randomly getting a allergic reaction in the joinery

[thin bobcat]

That medication is literally just a sleeping aid if I had to guess, repackaged as some sort of allergy med

[oak magnet]

and it isnt every day

[oak magnet]

probably works for some

its wierd how some medications can do more than one thing,

like lamictal was used as a med for epilepsy

but it was found to help bipolar people as a mood stabiliser

like how

[real aspen]

It doesn't cause me any trouble in daily life and general existence, if anything it's better this way because I don't have to deal with associated stress and shit, so why "fix" it?

[oak magnet]

true

[proven tundra]

It's not tho
It's an anti histamine lol

[oak magnet]

a shitty one

[thin bobcat]

It's useless

That's what it is

[oak magnet]

OH BRO

[thin bobcat]

At least it's not expensive

[oak magnet]

allegra is the only med that works for me also

i found out thats the brand name for fexofenadine

[proven tundra]

It might not work well but it's not a sleeping aid disguised or anything nefarious

[thin bobcat]

Yeah, Bilastin

[oak magnet]

fexofenadine is my jam

but no sleepy side effect

but maybe thats good for when im at work

id rather not lose my fingers

also steroid spray was a lifesaver for me

[thin bobcat]

I am joking, as if that would ever get greenlit, they test medication before it ever reaches the market and those tests are not just "drop it in water and test it's acidity"

[oak magnet]

made my nose actually work

i still chronically have one nostril be useless

[thin bobcat]

Issue with Allegra is, it's not really cheap

A bit expensive

[oak magnet]

yep

[left mantle]

Open task manager
Chrome is using 15 gigs of RAM

[proven tundra]

Bilastine is the only thing that keeps my hives somewhat calm
I've tried every anti histamine/etc as well as some monoclonal antibodies etc

[thin bobcat]

But I can live with it, I don't mind paying 100€ per summer

[oak magnet]

ASDA (walmart owned supermarket in UK) has their own unbranded version now

£6 for a pack of 30

[thin bobcat]

Yeah, it's magical

I tried everything under the sun

[oak magnet]

sameeee

like

[thin bobcat]

Quite literally, ranging from prescribed to actual treatment

[oak magnet]

nothing NOTHING worked

until doctor prescribed it

and it worked

[proven tundra]

I pay $100 CAD a month for mine
I take two pills a day everyday

[oak magnet]

and then just had to buy it on my own

[oak magnet]

WHAAAT

[thin bobcat]

Well, it's like 40€ for 100 over here

[frail leaf]

💱 100 CAD (Canadian Dollar) :flag_ca: is equal to 53.37 GBP (British Pound Sterling) :flag_gb:

[thin bobcat]

I have like 20 x 100 packs

[proven tundra]

Dang

[oak magnet]

bruhhhh

its £6 for 30, so like £24 for 120

and its 100mg

i think

[proven tundra]

Bilastine? Or Allegra

[thin bobcat]

Allegra is Bilastine over here

[oak magnet]

whichever is fexofenadine hydrochloride

[thin bobcat]

20mg dagrees

Ah wait, I am not taking 40mg a day, I am taking 80mg

Damn

Fuck it, still works

[left mantle]

jfc you pay like 72?

[oak magnet]

in the UK fexofenadine is 120mg per pill

crazy

[left mantle]

For bilastine?

[proven tundra]

Fexofenadine is Allegra

Bilastine is Blexten

Just so we're clear lol

[proven tundra]

Wtf

[oak magnet]

OH

[thin bobcat]

We ain't clear my friend, it is Bilastine over here

https://www.allegra.com/de-de/produkte/allegra-allergietabletten

[oak magnet]

ah i see the confusion

we dont have bilastine in UK

but have fexofenadine under allegra

[thin bobcat]

Tf, why not

[oak magnet]

idk

we just dont

[thin bobcat]

Shit is magical

[proven tundra]

Might be prescription only

[thin bobcat]

It literally helped me from day 1 of taking it

[oak magnet]

i think its sold under the name clarityn

[proven tundra]

It is here

[thin bobcat]

Literally, took it, day 1, fixed the next

Never had a singular issue since then

[proven tundra]

Claritin is loratidine

Got my antihistamines mixed up

[vital venture]

Whats going on

[oak magnet]

yeah bilastine is just NOT sold here

at all

cant find info about it anywhere

just not a thing in the UK market it seems

[left mantle]

Still that's some insane ass pricing

[proven tundra]

Ilaxten is the brand name in the UK

[thin bobcat]

It definitely is, the prices are retarded for Allergy meds

[proven tundra]

I take two pills a day, two thirty packs a month

[thin bobcat]

But if they help, I will not complain and just pay

Straight up

[left mantle]

I'm just saying because 30 tablets of fexofenadine are like 8 over here.

[proven tundra]

I used to take a monoclonal antibody once a month that was $1500/dose

I'll take the $100

[oak magnet]

havent seen that ANYWHERE

yeah just not here

[thin bobcat]

I tried those treatments as well, I don't know if it was that one but I did have like 6 treatment sessions and it was not better

[oak magnet]

markets i guess

[thin bobcat]

I paid myself stupid for nothing

[oak magnet]

apparently u can get a shot and not get hayfever

for months

i need that next year or something

[thin bobcat]

That's what they tried with me, it literally did not function, probably has a success chance for some but it did not work for me

[proven tundra]

It says UK (Northern Ireland) in the medication pamphlet lol
You might be right

[thin bobcat]

It was just expensive

That's about it

[proven tundra]

It worked to make the hives stay down
I still have a rash that never goes away
Which is the same as the pills

So 100 > 1500 in this case

[thin bobcat]

I mean, I just get 3 different symptoms:

• My nose starts to run
• I have to sneeze
• My eyes are dry and itch

[proven tundra]

[oak magnet]

:(

[oak magnet]

yeah

[thin bobcat]

Sometimes I do have some joint pain but only when I am in some field with a ton of flowers around me or pollen literally collecting on the streets

[oak magnet]

when my hayfever acts up, i full on have NO nose usage at all

sneezing and eyes itching

[proven tundra]

I have chronic idiopathic uticaria
Auto immune disorder that started when I was 39 lol

[oak magnet]

sleeping without the use of your nose

mann

[proven tundra]

Hives and rashes that appear at random all over my body

[thin bobcat]

But with Allegra (Bilastin), that literally just doesn't happen anymore, I can put an entire Dandelion up my nose and I am fine

[proven tundra]

[oak magnet]

snorting pollen

[thin bobcat]

Damn, that must really suck, I knew that some people reacted differently and some even have their throat close, I am very happy with what symptoms I get

[proven tundra]

The upside of taking twice the recommended daily dose of bilastine
I never get normal allergy symptoms

[oak magnet]

i need to get some allergy meds with me at all times

randomly having allergy like attacks

nose blocks, sneezing and eyes itchin

[proven tundra]

I'm not allergic to anything
My body just decided it hated me one day when I had an eye randomly swell shut
And then unlimited hives that aren't a reaction to anything

[oak magnet]

:(

[vital venture]

Reminding me how shit I take care of myself, allergy to pollen while asthmatic is shit but I just tend to power through it

[oak magnet]

human body is a meas

and the brain is a mess of wires

[thin bobcat]

Ah, yeah that's even fucking worse

[oak magnet]

trip over a wire and all of a sudden ur depressed

gg

[proven tundra]

I've been on Prednisone
Every antihistamine under the sun in MASSIVE doses
Stuff that's only supposed to be for lung issues etc
Injections

[thin bobcat]

But I still do remember the times when there was nothing on the market but Cetirizine, literally no allergy meds outside of it back then, it was pure hell

[proven tundra]

Best we can do is keep it to a light rash

[thin bobcat]

Well, that at least sounds better than nothing

Even though I don't think I could resist scratching myself in that area

[proven tundra]

Yep

Well it's my entire body at random lol
It could be my arms one day

It could be my torso or ass another

Also it burns if you touch it

Wearing clothes some days is torture

I just try not to scratch in front of clients

Brb gonna dunk myself in hot water

[thin bobcat]

[zealous depot]

Wet rat

[marsh cargo]

Manual breathing

[proven tundra]

Mosquito bite level

[thin bobcat]

Ah fuck no

[proven tundra]

But it also burns like fire if you scratch it

Soooooooo

[thin bobcat]

Yeah probably for the best if you don't continue talking about it if it makes you more aware of it

[oak magnet]

real, being nude in my room is a standard

like

no point for clothes in ur own domain

[oak magnet]

scars or what

[thin bobcat]

Alright, I still have windows, I can't just run around letting it hang like that

[proven tundra]

Gonna eat chocolate and pretend it doesn't itch

[oak magnet]

full body windows?

[zealous depot]

Let's talk about other things

Uhhh
Satisfactory
Uhhhh
Corporate standards
Uhhhh
Autism

[vital venture]

Hives

[oak magnet]

ah

[zealous depot]

building

[proven tundra]

SATISFACTORY

[oak magnet]

sorry to hear

[proven tundra]

pog

[oak magnet]

hives sound bad

[thin bobcat]

Like, I have some glass doors which are full sized

[oak magnet]

uhhhh

[oak magnet]

oh thats valid

i dont live alone rn nor will i in my student house

[thin bobcat]

And then just windows that go to upper torso level but the issue is, I have stairs and the torso levelled windows become a different kinda level when I go up or down them

[proven tundra]

[oak magnet]

but the room is fully mine so thats good

no roomates

housemates though

7 people in one house im bound to hate one

i really hope i dont

[zealous depot]

Do you get your daily coffee before starting the factoring

[thin bobcat]

And my neighbours have nothing better to do than trying to figure out what the neighbourhood is up to

So yeah, probably not the best decision to go all out

[proven tundra]

I had to get blood work this morning
And then played Valheim after lunch
Haven't touched construction yet

[oak magnet]

validddd

[zealous depot]

[proven tundra]

[oak magnet]

my room is my room though always

clothes optional

[proven tundra]

I just started phase 3 so gotta tear down the factory and build it up again

[oak magnet]

started sleeping naked 4 years ago

never stopped

[quiet abyss]

me when room mates

hate it

[oak magnet]

in same room?

[quiet abyss]

no naked sleep for me

[oak magnet]

i cant have that at all

[thin bobcat]

I do have blinds and I do also have like fully closing shutters

[quiet abyss]

no, but theyre the kind that just look in your room to see if youre asleep

[thin bobcat]

So I could be in complete darkness

[oak magnet]

what if i bring someone over and the roommate just, is there

[quiet abyss]

didnt say they were good room mates

[thin bobcat]

But like, I like daylight

[oak magnet]

no locks on the doors?

[thin bobcat]

So that ain't an option either

[proven tundra]

My kids have been my roommate for the last 23+ years
Dang freeloaders

[quiet abyss]

nope, landlord's a cunt

[oak magnet]

fair

[zealous depot]

Speaking of that

I know what i need to do in factorio when I go back

[oak magnet]

tf

[quiet abyss]

might just slap one on later

to spite them

[oak magnet]

just do something wild so they never peek again

[quiet abyss]

even if he doesnt like it, he can fuck off

[oak magnet]

like fuck off who would do that

[proven tundra]

[zealous depot]

[quiet abyss]

at worst he makes me take off the lock, at best, he just accepts it

[oak magnet]

give them a reason to ALWAYS knock

[quiet abyss]

[oak magnet]

traumatise them

[quiet abyss]

i tried, theyve either seen too much, or just dont care

[oak magnet]

fucking asshats

[quiet abyss]

mhm

[oak magnet]

id actually throw shit at them

if i caught them peeking

[quiet abyss]

might just like wedge the door

[thin bobcat]

So you don't have a lock on your door?

[quiet abyss]

jam shit in there

gonna make an aluminum brick to shove under my door

cant open it without breaking it

[oak magnet]

a wedge would work unless someone pushes it

[quiet abyss]

too bad you cant break it

[oak magnet]

like hard

you should throw shit at people who peek in

like fucking hell

[quiet abyss]

no, i plan to have it rest on the wall

so they have to break drywall

or the door

[oak magnet]

america moment

[quiet abyss]

canada too

[oak magnet]

walls made of punchable paper

[proven tundra]

They live in Canada lol

[oak magnet]

oh damn

[quiet abyss]

the inside walls are always drywall with wood

[oak magnet]

NA momenr

[quiet abyss]

the outside walls are often brick

[oak magnet]

europe is mostly just bricks and concrete

[quiet abyss]

so you cant run through the walls like juggernaut, unless you like breaking bones

[oak magnet]

can you punch them though

[quiet abyss]

the inside walls, you got wood framing everywhere

good fucking luck

[quiet abyss]

BRICKS??

fuck no

[oak magnet]

drywall

[quiet abyss]

i mean yeah, thats because its drywall

[hearty wyvern]

At least 72° "heatwave "doesn't kill ppl in their homes

[oak magnet]

nor does it insulate in winter

[hearty wyvern]

It does tho

[thin bobcat]

Ima be real, I am chilling whenever it's hot or cold outside

[oak magnet]

UK summers are notoriously humid

[thin bobcat]

And I live in Germany, we have really fucking thick walls

It's the default here

[hearty wyvern]

They are very much not as bad as alot of us places

[oak magnet]

i really hope my student house has thicker walls

[proven tundra]

Just get a heat pump and decent insulation
I don't care what it's doing outside the inside is always 18c

[oak magnet]

i so not need to hear the conversations of my housemates again

[oak magnet]

well fucking obviously US has arizona

and the valley of death

[hearty wyvern]

Arizona is not humid

[oak magnet]

hottest fucking place on earth

[thin bobcat]

I got an A/C as well because I always hated sweating in my home when I was younger

Best investment I could've made

[oak magnet]

but it melts shit when its hot

[hearty wyvern]

Arizona is dryer than your mom

[hearty wyvern]

That's not humid

[oak magnet]

she dead so u kinda right

[hearty wyvern]

It's a dry heat there

[oak magnet]

im talking heat not humidity

[hearty wyvern]

You couldn't have picked a worse place to compare humidity

[oak magnet]

was tryna compare heat temp soz

[proven tundra]

Ye we had fans for summer and wood stoves for winter
I didn't mind spending extra for constant climate control in my own home

[quiet abyss]

i mean shit works

it does insulate

[hearty wyvern]

I was pointing out your humidity claim

[quiet abyss]

but yeah anyways

the drywall is backed by solid wood

so its relatively durable

[oak magnet]

it does get quite humid, not saying its worst on earth but like

[quiet abyss]

until you punch it, since thats force in a small point

[thin bobcat]

I had a fan as well but the downside of a fan is, you're alright when directly in it's proximity but once you leave, it just gets worse lmao

[oak magnet]

summer in UK is wayyy worse at the same temp than summer in lithuania

[quiet abyss]

but a door? yeah its hard to break through with a door

[hearty wyvern]

Depends

[thin bobcat]

So an A/C is just way more comfortable

[oak magnet]

but lithuanians have air conditioning and actual heating

[proven tundra]

Agreed

[oak magnet]

UK doesnt

at all

ACs arent a big thing in UK, only richer people buy em

and heating is hit or miss

[proven tundra]

Heat pump with full house ducting does AC in the summer and switches to heat in the winter

[oak magnet]

fans suck

[thin bobcat]

And I don't really need to bother with house flies, they just kinda don't go inside, maybe because of the temperature, maybe because I don't leave stuff laying around, whatever the reason may be, I am happy with that as well

[oak magnet]

just ends up circulating the shit air

[proven tundra]

No open windows no flies same here

Unless I leave the door open too long

[oak magnet]

man

[thin bobcat]

I mean, I have fly screens on every window I leave open, for example my bathroom, whenever I shower, I leave the window open to let the humidity escape

[oak magnet]

i hate living with students sometimes

[thin bobcat]

But they don't even go inside when I have the screen open a bit

[oak magnet]

we had a maggot situation because a dumbass left a bag with a bit of food near a window in the heat summer

[proven tundra]

[proven tundra]

[oak magnet]

me and someone else (not the person who did it) had to exterminate

[hearty wyvern]

Open a window put fan in it

[thin bobcat]

That's why I could never live together with anyone that's not as clean as I am

That shit is absolutely disgusting

[oak magnet]

took us a bit for us to find out boiling water kills them quick

we used bleach and salt before that

god

never again

if i ever see a maggot again im straight up burning the house idc

[hearty wyvern]

We're currently doing this to take advantage of cooler nights and save on electric bill

[proven tundra]

The kitchen window by the sink has a fly screen
But the rest are huge ahh windows and I kind hate how they look

[thick plover]

@timid hollow Dismas developped skilled gambler after I completed the tutorial just now
But he always spawns with known cheat so how did he get good at gambling

[oak magnet]

fly screen on a kitchen window is smart as fuck acc

[thin bobcat]

I do have on there as well but I don't just have screens, I have ones you can also open

[hearty wyvern]

Are screens not normal in Europe

[proven tundra]

Can open it up if I'm grilling in the kitchen so the smoke alarms don't blast

[thin bobcat]

They have some aluminium frame

[hearty wyvern]

Europe is such a weird country

[oak magnet]

they are very much

[proven tundra]

I'm in Canada

[oak magnet]

just not as much in UK tbh

in lithuania its a necessity

[hearty wyvern]

Also weird country

[oak magnet]

because mosquitos

[proven tundra]

Correct

[oak magnet]

are very annoying

[proven tundra]

[oak magnet]

hey to me USA is wierd, its all subjective

[hearty wyvern]

Yeah every openable window in my house is screened

[hearty wyvern]

Nah USA is on top

[oak magnet]

if i was in the USA id have to pay for ADHD diagnosis and meds or insurance would

in uk its all free

[thin bobcat]

Did you even ever apologise for insulting his dead mother like that?

[hearty wyvern]

Even the people who hate it here won't leave

[thin bobcat]

I didn't catch any of that but I read the messages

[oak magnet]

i would say its top in many things

[proven tundra]

*are too poor to leave

[hearty wyvern]

Just enlist bam free healthcare

[oak magnet]

would rather fall onto concrete than serve the USA

[hearty wyvern]

That's what I did

[proven tundra]

Fell into concrete?

[hearty wyvern]

You can do both

In fact I've regularly had to

[oak magnet]

im just gonna wait until i have to do my mandatory military service for lithuania

which is around 2 years from now

[hearty wyvern]

Ew mandatory military service

[oak magnet]

idc they gonna teach me shit and whatever

[thin bobcat]

Did he ever apologise to you after you stated that your mother is dead when he made a joke about her or?

[oak magnet]

and ill be in lithuania for 9 months

[oak magnet]

nah

[hearty wyvern]

Yeah but ew mandatory military service in a non draft time is just weird

[left mantle]

Going skeet shooting in a second

[thin bobcat]

[proven tundra]

You don't like mandatory military service
But you're fine with voluntary military service to secure healthcare?

[oak magnet]

lithuania uhhhh

kinda afraid

of a neighbour

[hearty wyvern]

Fair enough

[oak magnet]

so its valid

but lithuania has a robust public healthcare system anyway

[hearty wyvern]

That's nice

[marsh cargo]

Latvia ofc

[oak magnet]

so you dont need to sell your soul to the state for healthcare, just gotta pay taxes

[hearty wyvern]

Truly for how much I love USA there's things that need to change at least a lil

[oak magnet]

i hate them because i dont understand them

[marsh cargo]

[oak magnet]

(i dont i love my brothers and sisters)

[hearty wyvern]

Like drinking and driving

Make it legal again

[oak magnet]

nah its the polish

i think they will take vilnius again

so we must be ready

[left mantle]

Fuck why did you have to mention them

[thin bobcat]

Tempted to mute the dude but I will just settle for a warning

[oak magnet]

because lithuania has a border with them

[hearty wyvern]

Oh hey I'm going there in February

[proven tundra]

[left mantle]

Now im gonna see comments about how someone mentioned them

[oak magnet]

i love poland and polish foods

[oak magnet]

rahhhhhhh

[vital venture]

Who? What tf did I miss I was gone for 5 mins

[oak magnet]

[thin bobcat]

@hearty wyvern made a comparison to laika's mother whenever they had a discussion about Air Humidity, issue being that he insulted a dead relative without apologising, just continued arguing

[oak magnet]

nah the insult was before the revelation of the deceased mother

[marsh cargo]

Very old

[green granite]

@marsh cargo

[oak magnet]

even then tbh

like

[green granite]

how do you World of Tank

[proven tundra]

It's not fun without my old clan

[oak magnet]

you dont be a radio operator

[hearty wyvern]

I wouldn't have made joke if I knew the family member had passed I have dmed him an apology

[oak magnet]

idk how it all works i dont play games

[marsh cargo]

You pew pew tonks

[slim magnet]

air humidity is like the easy edition of dead air

I did not know that but I wanted to make sure that you apologised, I may insult you and others but going after relatives, then ignoring the fact that they're dead aside without apologising, even if you didn't know prior, is unacceptable

gotta love old computers

[slim magnet]

never played past patch like 1.3

[oak magnet]

my 2021 gaming laptop can BARELY handle it

[oak magnet]

[vital venture]

There are some pretty good optimization mods

[slim magnet]

it's an loq 15

[oak magnet]

still waiting for more features and optimisation

like fucking binoculars

[hearty wyvern]

I'm waiting on actual a life

[slim magnet]

that shit is not old

[oak magnet]

ill stop speaking on it

[slim magnet]

nor weak

[oak magnet]

oh

I would check nexus optimization mods out some of them are peak but back to offtopic

[oak magnet]

and cant do stalger?

fuuuuck

[slim magnet]

[oak magnet]

they aint

[hearty wyvern]

I'm running the shit on a handheld

[oak magnet]

540p and 30fps

:(

[vital venture]

Sucks laptop versions of 4060 is even shittier then the normal 4060

[marsh cargo]

A grille 15 bounced
twice from my t44

[hearty wyvern]

900p 50-60 fps

[oak magnet]

i would buy a steam deck, if i had anything i really cared to play and carry around on it

i got spurrs, that jingle jangle jingle

jingle jangleee

[hearty wyvern]

I got it for goofy ass drills that involve doing nothing at all for a few days

Well not a deck

[vital venture]

If u would decide to I would wait cause while just speculation the steam deck 2 is believed to be somewhat soon

[hearty wyvern]

What settings are you playing on?

[slim magnet]

lowest

[oak magnet]

man i hate the fact this one t shirt i want with Big L on it costs fucking 55 dollars

[hearty wyvern]

Steam has said they won't be releasing a deck 2

[oak magnet]

oh nice

[vital venture]

They change their mind all the time

[oak magnet]

cant wait to be back in a army environment

cadets was a taste of it

the marching, drilling

the bollocking for failure

and guns

[vital venture]

But if does end up happening could make the og cheaper

[oak magnet]

yos

[hearty wyvern]

They want a reasonable jump in tech before a new one

Same thing they do with a lot of games

[oak magnet]

lithuania uses the g36

will be interesting

[slim magnet]

i have never cared about handheld gaming

[hearty wyvern]

Lucky

[slim magnet]

like what's the point

[oak magnet]

last time i shot a gun similar was the L98A2

[marsh cargo]

Wait so

[oak magnet]

just a cadet version of the L85

[hearty wyvern]

I'm not always able to bring my chunky laptop around

[oak magnet]

with the nintendo 3ds it made sense

with steam deck? nahhh i wouldnt wanna play on the bus or whatever

like

[marsh cargo]

Momo ran sdalger 2
Worse than me

With a 3060

[hearty wyvern]

But rog ally fits nice

[slim magnet]

like are you the type of people to piss in a corner just because you won't wait to get home

[hearty wyvern]

How is that related bru

[hexed stag]

"everything bad" type shi

[oak magnet]

if im really drunk, maybe

because the needing to piss feeling when drunk is too powerful

[vital venture]

Steam deck is weird cause steam has a offline mode, but its also steam

[oak magnet]

like actually

[hearty wyvern]

I got a handheld because I'm out and about for days on end and like to do my things

[oak magnet]

maybe id play CP2077, but even then like

[hearty wyvern]

How is that weird 🧐

[oak magnet]

would i really want to

[hearty wyvern]

Yeah

[oak magnet]

games always better on a larger screen

[slim magnet]

yah it ran bad

[hearty wyvern]

It's solid on deck

[vital venture]

Playing steam in offline mode is the weirdest feeling in the world when my internet goes out

[hexed stag]

meanwhile mfs in UK piss on the floor while sitting at a bar in pub

[slim magnet]

with ini tweaks i managed to get playable framerates

[oak magnet]

plus keyboard better

[slim magnet]

but still

[oak magnet]

do they?

[hearty wyvern]

Ah fair

[marsh cargo]

I mean I do have 32gb ram

[oak magnet]

never seen that happen

[slim magnet]

base product borderline unplayable

[hexed stag]

I've heard

[oak magnet]

then again i go to cocktail bars and rarely go pubs

pubs are for the old men

[slim magnet]

and it's a crying shame because the game is fantastic

[proven tundra]

I have no interest in handheld consoles tbh
But you'll pry my laptop from my cold dead hands

[oak magnet]

same

[vital venture]

Only use for steam deck ngl would be ig playing single player indie games? Maybe stuff like intravenous 2?

[oak magnet]

my laptop is my baby

im gonna give it 32gb ram someday

[hearty wyvern]

Fantastic is a stretch...

[marsh cargo]

Honestly that sucks

[oak magnet]

for extra boost

[oak magnet]

its subjective

[hearty wyvern]

My laptop has 64gb ran :3

[oak magnet]

as a stalger game, it is one albeit was missing many classic features

[slim magnet]

people overhate the shit out of st*lker 2 because of one small "rugpull" like gsc didn't do that before

[oak magnet]

but aside from that it really just is a continuation made with a completely different design/concept team

[slim magnet]

three fucking times

[hearty wyvern]

Headshot sound effect makes me cry

[oak magnet]

i mean S*c was delayed from 2001 to 2007

so like

[proven tundra]

I'll wait for a couple of years for ram to be cheap enough to get 64 for a not ridiculous price in my next laptop

[oak magnet]

crazy style

[proven tundra]

Need more than 8gb vram too of course

[oak magnet]

might just buy used ram again

[hearty wyvern]

I hate because it's just not finished feeling
If they finish it up and add those normal features of every other game I'll play it

[hexed stag]

At least it was good (for the time)

[oak magnet]

yeah i was 4 in 2007

[slim magnet]

yeah i mean

[oak magnet]

so i dont remember its release sadly

[marsh cargo]

I wonder
What features do you think it's missing?

[vital venture]

I feel like 90% of the hate is from agwomaly and that spiraled people to hate on it more like hive mind mentality

[slim magnet]

it was undercooked

[oak magnet]

binoculars, night vision

[slim magnet]

it defo needed another year in the oven

[hearty wyvern]

A-life is not real yet

[oak magnet]

enemy ai that wasnt jank

[slim magnet]

like for fuck's sake they just now added master difficulty

[hearty wyvern]

Exactly
It's got good bones and whatnot just let it finish up before I enjoy

[oak magnet]

alife was barely anything special, but still

[vital venture]

Tbf how they spawned in was

[marsh cargo]

Ok so nothing critically important

[hearty wyvern]

It's literally my favorite feature

[oak magnet]

“oh look they fight when you dont see them” wow so cool

[hearty wyvern]

L take

[oak magnet]

a feature u didnt see or interact with

and most of the time forgot the names of npcs u see and encounter again somehow

[hearty wyvern]

Oh cool this bandit groups taken a few more points of interest further building on the immersion

[slim magnet]

mayhaps get alundaio on the case to make alife an actual thing

[solid cargo]

Often I hear about how "buggy" it is, but is it even that bad?

[slim magnet]

like he did for coc

[solid cargo]

Just wanna know before the day I play it myself.

[slim magnet]

since it wasn't there in the original trilogy

[vital venture]

I only hear complaints about optimization which is fair but nexus mods has stuff that can like 2x or 3x the fps

[oak magnet]

gonna try that soon when they update again

[hearty wyvern]

And the guns are a bit goofy to use
Why's bullet drop so overtuned

[slim magnet]

not at all

everyone just yells "no alife!!!!!" and that's it

[hearty wyvern]

It's as buggy as any stalker

[slim magnet]

when, again, the original games didn't have it

[oak magnet]

i just didnt like npcs walking in a straight line and shooting, no taking cover or anything

and also slow ass reactions

[marsh cargo]

Biggest bug I had in S2 was some cutscenes had no sound

[hearty wyvern]

This has been improved

[hexed stag]

They shoulda made X-Ray 2 or Y-Ray or whatever. Fuck the graphics

[hearty wyvern]

Based
Ue5 is garbage

[slim magnet]

it was on xray 2.0 back in 2011

but then gsc went under

[vital venture]

There was also the fact to make any money u had to hunt arties cause side quests gave jack shit, and repair costs but they slowly changing that I hear

[oak magnet]

not sure the team could make their own engine

since they kinda didnt do shit after coc for a while

[vital venture]

While UE5 is shit in some ways the Xray engine could be worse but I think they should've chose something else tbh
