Balance patch soon?

Ive seen some silly stuff happen in HC

[left mantle]

Teleporting rare mob that also leaves dot chaos in it's wake with proximal on it.

Scarier than any map boss i've ever faced

But witch hunter is ballin

That desecration mod on my crossbow is actual fucking peak

[verbal lodge]

Watch out for the increased crits increased damage health map mods too

With the detonate dead mobs, youre getting one shot through alot

[left mantle]

They do not scare me.

[verbal lodge]

[left mantle]

I survive those

I assume every mob has an on-death effect

Because they all fucking do

Like whoever at GGG has the perverted obsession with on-death effects has gotta lay off the one-handed dev work

but tl;dr most map mods don't phase me, abyss rares do.

[verbal lodge]

Im sure chris Wilson's game won't follow the same design

If it comes out in the next 10 years

[carmine laurel]

Uno

[left mantle]

Y?

[carmine laurel]

I got to level 25 and the titan champion

and rolled right into his chaos orbs

its over

[left mantle]

You got decently far into act 2 though

that's huge

[carmine laurel]

worst part is I ran back to him to see if I would have died anyway

aside from that single attack, which I rolled into

he didnt damage me

legit if I had rolled left instead of right, I would still have the hc warrior

[left mantle]

IT happens

all it takes is a bad roll

[carmine laurel]

[verbal lodge]

GG

Hardcore?

[carmine laurel]

I did find a level 2 unique for a merc tho

[carmine laurel]

yeah

hc ssf

[verbal lodge]

Holy

[left mantle]

Don't spoil

[verbal lodge]

You got balls shiyon
Most hc gamers are on trade rn

Due to the new mechanic. Ssf takes aluminum balls

[left mantle]

Dude this stash tab sale CANNOT come quick enough

[carmine laurel]

the abyss makes it so exciting tho

[verbal lodge]

Bro CANNOT be playing endgame without stash tabs

[left mantle]

I am.

[carmine laurel]

like it randomly jumps the difficulty and forces you to keep aware

[left mantle]

I have almost maxed out all 4

[verbal lodge]

I guess its not as bad as poe 1

[carmine laurel]

granted I havent made it past level 25, so I have no idea how much worse its gonna get

but we go again

[verbal lodge]

But man
Youll run out of space soon enough

[left mantle]

But I need to get a map tab and a currency tab

[verbal lodge]

Just wait till the later acts

Youll have to learn to adapt

Atleast leveling should be easier now

With the gear and currency

[left mantle]

Honestly off rip abyss was a whole different monster

[carmine laurel]

at least the floor damage was nerfed

the difference is notable for me

[verbal lodge]

Those mobs may need to get a nerf too

[left mantle]

since they changed it so that slowly certain modifiers would get into the spawn pool instead of literally every mod being in the pool from the start

[verbal lodge]

Some of the mods on them are nutty

[carmine laurel]

the only ones I absolutely hate is that flying one with the machine gun ranged attack

[left mantle]

They have gotten nerfed for leveling but... that rare mob I mentioned earlier was NOT kosher

That was fucked up

[verbal lodge]

Its exactly how i died, damn abyss revives with those chaos projectiles, such bad game design, GGG only needs 20 more years to learn how to balance

[left mantle]

Honestly tune down on death effects and I am a hell of a lot happier

but i'm ranged

not melee

[verbal lodge]

Abyss rares > act bosses

[left mantle]

TRUE

REAL

ACTUALLY

Oh have I told you the bug with overrun by the abyss Krast?

It prevents ritual spawns even if it's on the node

[verbal lodge]

I haven't actually

Surely they'll crack down on that

[left mantle]

I'm assuming it's unintended yeah

[verbal lodge]

[broken mountain]

We dont know

Its the second time it happened

First time it was in a cornfield, now I have no idea

We had a polish company building in ukraine being burned to the ground aswell

[snow tree]

I saw picture of a house that got hit by one of them

No explosion, but there was damage to the roof

[verbal lodge]

Air raids?

Jeez

[upbeat verge]

yesterday at 12:51 package departed plzen amazon facility aalo

[snow tree]

Joint military training from Russia/Belarus called Zapad. The usual shit happens

They test how much they can probe our border and how we will respond

Though this time round they are extra cocky

[pure compass]

Annex Belarus NOWWWWWWWW

[real aspen]

Mfw there are chunks missing from my thumb

[pure compass]

and form Prussia like in those map painter games

[real aspen]

So my phone doesn't recognise my fingerprint

[pure compass]

You didn't lock yourself out did you?

[oak magnet]

lithuania has the same thing happen, a drone flew from belarus and was found by mushroom pickers, armed with explosives

[oak magnet]

we dont need prussia again

no

[pure compass]

The Greater Polish Lithuanian (Un)commonwealth

[upbeat verge]

soo uhh chat

I survived the encounter with girl yesterday

[real aspen]

No I have 3 other fingers registered

(and pin)

[pure compass]

...encounter?

[upbeat verge]

we watched cruella the movie from 2021
it was kind of okay not rly my type of movie but I enjoyed it , it wasn't overly shit.

[oak magnet]

[oak magnet]

AWWWW

[upbeat verge]

I invited her to my place and she took her sewing ring with her

[oak magnet]

[upbeat verge]

[oak magnet]

[pure compass]

...sewing ring?

[oak magnet]

[upbeat verge]

[verbal lodge]

Ivan rizzing

[oak magnet]

I GOT REEVA NOODLES HERE

UKRAINE I GIVE MY SOUL TO YOUR NOODLES

[upbeat verge]

REEVA NOODLES
ALOOOOOOOOOOO

[oak magnet]

REEVAAAAA

[upbeat verge]

when we said our goodbyes I gave her a kiss on the cheek again @oak magnet

[oak magnet]

i remember when it was Rollton

[oak magnet]

aww

[slim magnet]

dude i want to draw

actively rotting

[oak magnet]

draw what

[upbeat verge]

then draw

[slim magnet]

fuck this shit

i have to finish an assignment for uni

[oak magnet]

i understand the will to do something but your brain is resisting

[oak magnet]

what do u study again?

[slim magnet]

software engineering

which i don't like one bit

but i'm in the last semester

[verbal lodge]

Classic art rut

[slim magnet]

but since i actually got in love with my tablet again the facade finally died out

[oak magnet]

ah

[slim magnet]

i actually shouldn't have gotten over trauma this early

[oak magnet]

did u choose that out of convenience or

like

[slim magnet]

got forced into it

[oak magnet]

i considered doing that until i realised i would hate life since i dont have a passion for computers at all

[slim magnet]

because little momo used to mod gzdoom since he was 12 years old

[oak magnet]

ah

[slim magnet]

i sort of considered it as a last resort

once

because yah i don't have a passion for computers at all

i loved modding games

as an art form

[oak magnet]

its same reason i didnt join the army

because i have no passion for mechanical engineering

i would hate myself

[slim magnet]

not blue collar programming for some bottom feeder firm

[oak magnet]

some things are better as hobbies tbh

[slim magnet]

yeah

you tell me

[oak magnet]

for me my passion will be modern history snd international relations

is

i just wish i had ambitions attached to that passion

[snow tree]

Diplomat

[oak magnet]

maybe

that or a UN job

or a job at a corp working in international relations

im gonna be doing statistics all year this year :/

[slim magnet]

like up to last semester i was steamrolling through uni

[real aspen]

Everything is better as a hobby

[slim magnet]

because for one it's fucking retarded easy and second there were external motivating factors

but like right now dude i don't want to know anything about it

i want to be myself

[snow tree]

Just 🐝 yoself

[oak magnet]

tbh i just need to be medicated

[slim magnet]

starve to fucking death but let me scribble on my tablet

[oak magnet]

and then i can do my best in uni

[slim magnet]

doodle on a piece of toilet paper if it comes to it eventually

i'll die drawing as a failed artist

[snow tree]

We should bring back the institution of the "funny little guy" in rich mans house

Frfr

[oak magnet]

better to die doing what you love

[slim magnet]

i don't want to """""""""""""succeed"""""""""""""""" as a blue collar loser that develops websites

or does some menial cybersecurity gigs

[left mantle]

I've finally managed to figure out the fucking deadly boss mansion shit

Holy shit is that not what I expected

[oak magnet]

if anything im just gonna try many jobs

i have qualifications to train as a paramedic

[real aspen]

But what if the process of turning art into means of financial gain ends up making you dislike art

[oak magnet]

and i have my mandatory service to do

[slim magnet]

it's not about that

i'm not about the money

like to be dead honest

i'm not a survivor

just earlier this year i dodged a ~100usd gig from a dude that wanted the simplest fucking script written for him (an*maly mod)

and i just gave him what he wanted before he got scammed by a greaselord that tells him that's too low of a pay

[sick trail]

Court artists should make a comeback

[oak magnet]

are they still a thing?

i thought they were

[snow tree]

That's what I'm sayin

[pure compass]

I think they still are in murrica

[snow tree]

We should kept doing that shizz

[oak magnet]

u got integrity

[slim magnet]

and integrity leads to financial ruin

such is life in the z*ne

[oak magnet]

yeah i saw the rendition of one court case

[oak magnet]

true

[sick trail]

They got court AIs now, making shitty "art"

[oak magnet]

WHAT

actually fucking hate AI

ruining everything

[slim magnet]

ali keeps teasing me with switchblades dude

and i can't even have them here

i've always wanted a switchblade

[sick trail]

Get a gravity knife instead /s

[pallid sapphire]

I have a huntsman fade

20€

Im allowed to own it since its "an art piece"

[snow tree]

Get switchblade, don't get caught having it

[sick trail]

Get a toy switchblade

[pallid sapphire]

Like everyone wants a fucking switchblade

Get a Katana

Thats legal

[slim magnet]

yeah funnily enough they are

[snow tree]

Get a swtichblade that is period correct and claim it as reconstruction piece

[slim magnet]

i have a ninjato and a machete

but i can't have a switchblade

like okay dude

[snow tree]

Even if it's for reconstruction?

Where the blade is dull?

[pallid sapphire]

Yeah thats the funny laws that apply even in germany

Can have a machete and a sharp katana and carry it

But not a piss blade little chengis is threatening you with

[pure compass]

I guess everyone knows you're armed with the katana

[snow tree]

Can't really conceal carry that shit

[pure compass]

which is sorta the way concealed carry laws work in some places in murrica

[pallid sapphire]

Im even armed with my pocket knife that nobody can see

[pure compass]

"bigger gun ok"

[pallid sapphire]

And thats also allowed

[pure compass]

"smaller gun too hidden" 🐒

[snow tree]

My kitchen butter knife is perfectly capable of hurting

I can carry it

[halcyon sail]

gordon freeman after 5 minutes of waking up

[real aspen]

Get a quality fixed blade

[slim magnet]

not as cool

and usually too big

[broken mountain]

Something bad is about to happen

[real aspen]

Brother there are fixed blades smaller than foldings

[broken mountain]

I am expecting the worst

[real aspen]

And they're great

[slim magnet]

thing is at the end of the day anything that isn't a kitchen knife or a swiss army knife is illegal here

[pure compass]

ah yes, the fire extinguisher reactive armor

[slim magnet]

i just can't have them

only shit like a practice butterfly

[real aspen]

Can't have shit in Britain

Still thought I got my mora at a hardware store

They're considered tools apparently

Even though you can't carry them

[slim magnet]

dude the assignment is super lightweight but i just can't do it

there's spritiual shit at play preventing me from acting

[halcyon sail]

what even is it about

[slim magnet]

in short it's related to business intelligence analysis

[halcyon sail]

of course it is

[slim magnet]

like gahdaym if i didn't inadvertedly murder my motivation to continue with the uni gig i'd power through it in like 2 hours

[halcyon sail]

thats why you cant do it

[slim magnet]

nah dude

it's just reading

[halcyon sail]

why is my keyboard heavier than my actual living breathing 2 year old cat

i cant type for shit

[snow tree]

Use the forbidden technique momster

[slim magnet]

yeah i already asked gpt to do it for me

i'm that out of it

[snow tree]

Good

[slim magnet]

it's the first time i've resorted to this in the entire course of uni

lmfao

[snow tree]

That's what it's best used for

[slim magnet]

like i'm sure it sounds like a weird flex and something hard to believe in this day and age

[halcyon sail]

last time i used chatgpt it was for some weird shit

[verbal lodge]

If that's your first time
Then youre already better than my entire peer group

[halcyon sail]

like i think i asked it to write an essay but in sailor sea shanty type writing

and the essay wasnt even for anything

meaningless 3 am actions

[slim magnet]

gpt for funny meaningless shit is a vibe

[hexed kernel]

wait is that you on this emoji

holy shit

[slim magnet]

like i'm mega against using it for anything serious because of the oh so pretentious thing about the death of academia

which i do believe in

[halcyon sail]

it looks like the new lex luthor

[slim magnet]

but i'm so beyond done with this dog ass career that i want to just get rid of the dead weight

by any means necessary

and never look back

[halcyon sail]

ong my whole friend group be shitting on gpt

[snow tree]

I use it to help me with excel formulas

[halcyon sail]

whats excel

[green granite]

wth is this

[left mantle]

That's gotta be bait

[slim magnet]

a mod for san andreas that displays the weapons you have in the loadout on cj's body

[hexed kernel]

"grok told me this" "chatgpt told me that" well my court wizard Acrhibal Firebrand told me that you are plotting against me

[slim magnet]

it's goofy and cool

[snow tree]

Don't google it, it's pain and suffering of todays world

John Excel hopefully rots in hell for this

[left mantle]

First deadly map boss done

[halcyon sail]

im joking im not that young to not know of it

i wish i was though

[left mantle]

Even if you're young

You'll likely know it

[halcyon sail]

chinko brinko

[left mantle]

It's still heavily used along with google sheets

[halcyon sail]

and that along with the fact im literally in IT

[snow tree]

Poor you

[left mantle]

"Yeah, I've played EVE before"

[halcyon sail]

my whole work is based on Excel...

[slim magnet]

wow

adventure awaits i guess

[snow tree]

Mine is too...

Sometimes it's disguised as databases

[halcyon sail]

it always is

[left mantle]

Every project I do has at least 7 excel files

[snow tree]

"Hehe trust us, it's this neat little site for data!"

you fell for it award

[left mantle]

Just to keep track of shit

[snow tree]

[halcyon sail]

i love wehn i think i finally get to do something aside from excel but its actually just another excel project in disguise

anyways

[carmine laurel]

my friend in france just sent me like 2 months of food

[halcyon sail]

[upbeat verge]

[oak magnet]

french people are nice sometimes

[halcyon sail]

[oak magnet]

[upbeat verge]

[carmine laurel]

this legit covers most of my food costs for the rest of the year

[snow tree]

ivan has interaction with female
what did she mean by that chat

[upbeat verge]

usually pokemon fans love to shove it down your throat

[carmine laurel]

so I'm just processing that

[snow tree]

I mean yes, it's september

[slim magnet]

brother i would exit on the spot

[upbeat verge]

[green granite]

Ah

[green granite]

Nvm

[upbeat verge]

[frail leaf]

@severe storm (chovyandthewolf) has been muted for 8 hours for reason: annoying shitposter continues

[halcyon sail]

do you have a chance to be in one?

[slim magnet]

no way i thought i was looking into a mirror

[slim magnet]

yeah

[green granite]

What did he post

[halcyon sail]

eh different people different reasons

[slim magnet]

""""""catfished""""""" a friend into falling in love with me earlier this year just through charm

[supple lotus]

does it matter?

[green granite]

I just wanna kno

[upbeat verge]

like I start talking for 10 seconds and she takes the word back and cuts me off

[slim magnet]

killed the friendship because i didn't want to escalate

[green granite]

[slim magnet]

and bro felt betrayed

fuck off

[upbeat verge]

so I just keep my mouth shut and let her yap

[carmine laurel]

i used to pray for days like these

[pallid raft]

death by too hot

[green granite]

To think about it

[upbeat verge]

gj dumbass

[green granite]

I have yet to interact w a girl for a while now

Damn

What have I become

[upbeat verge]

hes watching the chat while hes muted punching air right now

[slim magnet]

like i even talked it out with him

reached amicable terms

[green granite]

@sour rivet I

[upbeat verge]

@green granite alo

[green granite]

Look laugh if you might

[supple lotus]

he's gonna break his noodle-arms on the air resistance

[green granite]

Im just ass 😔

[upbeat verge]

📠

[halcyon sail]

holy shit...

hey

[pallid raft]

so the dude just liked you and made himself believe you were into it and trying to lead him on and then when you said 'no wtf' he broke down and crode

[halcyon sail]

do you guys know where to get a new good keyboard bruh?

[slim magnet]

kinda yeah

[green granite]

BestBuy

[halcyon sail]

mine has so much input lag

[supple lotus]

depends on "good" and "budget"

[halcyon sail]

plus heavy ass keyboard and kets

[pallid raft]

i bought a wooting but honestly you can find a better one for cheaper

[halcyon sail]

i just want it to work

[green granite]

I need to buy keycap remover tool

[supple lotus]

then buy literally any other than what you have

i dont deal with normal boards, so cant give advice on this segment

[pallid raft]

you can buy like a razer huntsman mini for like less than 50, i saw one in a supermarket once

if you just want something that works

[pallid raft]

do you make your own keyboard

[green granite]

Tbh

[supple lotus]

i built and own 15 customs, ye

[green granite]

I tend to use like 20 dollar keyboard and found nothing wrong w it

[pallid raft]

swag

[green granite]

I am using an MSI keyboard just because it came with the CPU

[pallid raft]

nothing wrong with a basic keyboard, they work

[supple lotus]

ye

[halcyon sail]

ive been building pcs since i was 7 but dont know basic knowledge of peripherals bruh

[oak magnet]

YAPPIN IS GOOD

for a great friendship/relationship, gotta be able to yap and be yapped upon

[supple lotus]

if you want something without thrills but works, maybe look at keychron - there you at least also get options for switches etc

[slim magnet]

it really often is one sided

[thin bobcat]

means you don't need to carry the conversation, not much to complain about if I were you

[green granite]

Man I crush on a girl but she is a continent away

Ughhh

[thin bobcat]

Could get pretty fucking annoying in a relationship tho

[slim magnet]

like yeah i agree with what blood says but it still can be super one sided

[halcyon sail]

just make like short responses to stuff and stay quiet mostly

[slim magnet]

as in only she can over speak

[pallid raft]

the humble act of kidnapping

[supple lotus]

i feel that, but it can work out

[halcyon sail]

even if its one sided gotta make her feel she talkin to a huma

[thin bobcat]

In which direction

[slim magnet]

the moment you start to open up it's all

uh huh

yeah

[green granite]

Gotta make it the most expensive meeting every by paying 700 dollars to fly to that country to visit her

[slim magnet]

hm

[halcyon sail]

surprise adoption

[green granite]

Pacific Ocean away

[thin bobcat]

Damn

[oak magnet]

i do like it more when people text/yap first

because its always been me as the person to start anything

like

[supple lotus]

i think i spent 10k or more to keep a long distance relationship alive with visits

[oak magnet]

10k

i understand somewhat but also

DAMN

[green granite]

Idk how to get radio distance relationship works

[pallid raft]

if you love em you love em

[supple lotus]

5 years, 2 travels per year

[pallid raft]

you make the money motivated so you can go and see them

its not a waste if youre in love

[green granite]

Also im more like brainrot dude so I wonder how can I be interested with a lady

I cant go to her and skibidi toilet

[supple lotus]

flights are expensive man

[green granite]

I dont mind the flying since I can get cheap tickets from ticket hunting

Im more of a guy who cant sit 17 hours

In a cramp air bus

[thin bobcat]

You'll quickly learn the experience of how it feels to get blocked by another party if you start yapping up a storm with some shit like "skibidi toilet"

[pallid raft]

oh hi its so nice to finally meet you!
yeah its pretty skibidi

and thats how i quickly found my visit cut short

[oak magnet]

was it good?

the relations

[green granite]

Also vietnamese girls tend to be weird

[supple lotus]

i mean, we're now married and i migrated her to my place

[oak magnet]

i mean thats just a maturity thing

[pallid raft]

it works if you just fckin go for it

[green granite]

I had tried to hang out w a lot of girls of my nationality around me and the conversation always boil down weirdly

[oak magnet]

NOICE

[pallid raft]

its why i dont judge ppl for being long distance, ppl say it never works but all i ever really hear are the success stories

[thin bobcat]

That is the norm

[oak magnet]

there are no girls of my nationality

[green granite]

Like say I like computer, games, 3D modeling and that stuff like 80% of girls of my nationality would not even know wth I am talking

[oak magnet]

because there is a grand total of 3.8 million of us around the planet

[supple lotus]

its hard. it takes a lot of patience, commitment and will

[oak magnet]

sheer fucking will

[green granite]

I get to know a girl who is into my hobby and stuff but she lives in

I COME FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER

[supple lotus]

i had an easy logical approach

[halcyon sail]

genuinely dont know how to talk to people my nationatolity

[supple lotus]

"you're fucking old, grandpa - use what you can"

[green granite]

I used to be able to

[halcyon sail]

i dont know how to spell...

[green granite]

But living in US for like a decade now

[thin bobcat]

ah hell nah

[green granite]

It feels impossible

[thin bobcat]

No matter where you live

A flight to Australia is fucking expensive

[green granite]

Lemme see

[halcyon sail]

and aussies scuk either way

[slim magnet]

it's the money sink

[thin bobcat]

The last time I checked, just for fun, it was like 1.2K or some shit

[halcyon sail]

im joking no offense to aussies

[green granite]

Not too bad

[thin bobcat]

I mean, granted, I didn't check for a date in the future, I wanted to check for a realistic one within a realistic timeframe

[green granite]

If I fly february rn ticket from LAX to Sydney is 500 ish

[thin bobcat]

But still

[green granite]

Which is not too bad

A week of work

[thin bobcat]

Yeah that sounds a lot better

[pallid raft]

i mean youve got a few options there, find some new hobbies and stuff you can talk about, tell them about your music tastes, tell them about film taste, and just be yourself cuz you dont want to be in a relationship where you cant do that

theres always something you can talk to someone about, even if its not your main interest

[green granite]

I mean rn I picked up a thing or two from working in Customer Service

[pallid raft]

i started a new job recently and i still make conversation with like a 40 year old man over simple stuff like that

[thin bobcat]

And that is not an excuse, I can barely find a dude that knows what I am talking about, even less a woman

[green granite]

Its a nice skill for socializing

[supple lotus]

also dont fear that something might not be good or perfect - nothing is and there's always things to work on, change and talk

[slim magnet]

nobody i've been with has had a semblance of interest on shit i'm into

[supple lotus]

if you expect perfection, just lay down and die already

[green granite]

Also another thing

[supple lotus]

[green granite]

How do you effectively approach a person

[slim magnet]

talk to them

fuck kinda question is that

[thin bobcat]

You walk up to them and start a conversation

[supple lotus]

saying Hi is a good start

[thin bobcat]

I mean

[slim magnet]

yeah

[supple lotus]

[slim magnet]

like ???

[thin bobcat]

What do you want to hear

[green granite]

Its a fucked question

[pallid raft]

usually i walk toward them to approach them

[green granite]

But you wont believe I fumbled that even

[pallid raft]

after that you can just stare at them if you want

wont end well though

[thin bobcat]

There ain't no manual with some sleeper agent activation phrase that makes her hopelessly fall in love

[green granite]

Oh jeez, I guess that's where I was wrong

I always teleported toward a person

(They cant fathom what did I just do

[pallid raft]

dont walk up to a girl and say anything retarded too

[supple lotus]

telefrag the cute girl at the bar

valid

[pallid raft]

[slim magnet]

hardcore vibes

[real aspen]

what if you have obscure interests and also dont know what interests people your age usually have

[slim magnet]

telefrag the girl and then hit the pelvic thrust dance emote

[thin bobcat]

How are supposed to interpret it any other way, from our point of view, you could run up to people like a golden retriever and scream for them to wait for all we know

[pallid raft]

talk to people and ask about their interests

[real aspen]

easier said than done

most people dont know sign language

[green granite]

I guess I cant just show up to a girl and told her about United States Military's AR15 5.56x45mm NATO Service Assault Rifle weapon system

[pallid raft]

oh are you deaf?

[real aspen]

mostly

[pallid raft]

in that case its quite rough yeah

[thin bobcat]

You can't fumble by just giving a simple friendly gesture like "hello, how was your day", if she expects you to open a conversation with a triple backflip each time, you will burn out quickly anyways

[broken mountain]

Oh what the fuck

There were other drones in the morning???

[green granite]

Soundtrack it is currently a relationship counseling session

[pallid raft]

is there like groups or anything you can go to? around here theres a couple like organised groups people with conditions and stuff can go to find others like them

[thin bobcat]

anonymous gamblers, why?

[green granite]

I mean there are in my school

[thin bobcat]

:)

[broken mountain]

Just be straight forward, dont sneak up with flowers

[pallid raft]

i prefer Alcoholics Anonymous until they started telling me to believe in da lord

[green granite]

I am actually in a table top game group but I hadnt came by for the last 7 months because of my conflicting work schedule

[thin bobcat]

I just made a bet with a dude that I could open the bible on page 1003 perfectly

[hexed stag]

Greetings, chat!

[pallid raft]

and did you

[green granite]

Image perm is not back

[broken mountain]

Hi

[slim magnet]

we wanted to join the anime club in uni fully as a joke with my friend group but couldn't push it that far

[thin bobcat]

Let's switch topics alright

[pallid raft]

hahaha

[broken mountain]

How much did you bet

[thin bobcat]

I am just kidding

[halcyon sail]

gun nuts wehn not everybody is into their niche totally underrated pick of the century

[pallid raft]

my friend going to uni is trying to make a 'retro games club' and said to me 'yeah i cant wait to talk about skyrim'

[halcyon sail]

not that im anyy different

[hexed stag]

So Cup is Aussie?

[thin bobcat]

Nah, Californian

[broken mountain]

I used to do bets on football matches

[hexed stag]

oh

[halcyon sail]

skyrim is retro.......?

[broken mountain]

But then I lacked people to bet with

[pallid raft]

insane

then i asked what consoles he counts as retro

[hexed stag]

his crush is Australian

[pallid raft]

he said up to ps3

i said what the fuck

[broken mountain]

PS3 is retro??

[pallid raft]

retro for me is like ps1 LATEST

[halcyon sail]

i would consider half life 1 or DOOM 1 retro bro

[slim magnet]

the ps3 is almost 20 years old by now

[halcyon sail]

WHAT

oh wait youre right

[thin bobcat]

Alright, let's switch topics again

[pallid raft]

yeah its old but its like id hardly call it a retro games console

[slim magnet]

i do consider the original deus ex a retro game by now

[thin bobcat]

I am 22 and you make me feel like my childhood is one eternity ago already

[hexed stag]

I have never used or had a game console

[pallid raft]

i went into a shop and bought a nintendo wii yesterday

[hexed stag]

PC only

[hexed stag]

L

[thin bobcat]

Then you missed out honestly, the Nintendo DS, Playstation 2 - 3 and Wii were just absolute bangers

[halcyon sail]

my dad taught me emulation on my pc

[pallid raft]

im going to sonic and the black knight once i... purchase the games disc

[green granite]

Oi mate

[pallid raft]

fk you mean L you aint never motion controlled like i have pal

[green granite]

I am the worst of the US

Not the worst of the world

[thin bobcat]

Shut it cunt, you ain't a spider slinger

[slim magnet]

i would buy a ps2 again

[halcyon sail]

just to play ninja gaiden or god of war

[slim magnet]

my ps3 can run ps2 games but i want the hardware

san andreas too

and a lot of other games

the ps2 had an insane library

[pallid raft]

i bought a ps2 for 50

[thin bobcat]

Still funny how cunt is literally just the default preset for anyone you don't know the name of in Australian English / slang but in the US / UK it's some extremely bad profanity

[green granite]

I know, those people are truly the Wurst

Dah duhh

[slim magnet]

gran turismo 4

the original pes

[pallid raft]

im in UK and cunt is very common, i wouldnt say its extremely bad

[real aspen]

TLDR; complicated

less TLDR; can hear about fine, but struggle to understand sounds, especially complex sounds like speech. most people sound like they're speaking alien language. Though some are comprehensible enough, and usually older people are the most comprehensible, and younger the least.

Not to mention I grew up around people much older than me, and most of my close relations are with older people, even in school and college i was closer friends with teachers than classmates.

So you can imagine chatting up with people around my age is like navigating a maze blind, deaf, and without legs (blind because it's more difficult read their possible character from appearances and demeanour due to lack of development)

[green granite]

Cunt means Friend in aussie

[thin bobcat]

I mean, I heard that it's frowned upon, at least it's considered an insult over there

[pallid raft]

yeah thats rough, id like to help but i think id just be preaching

[halcyon sail]

so your literature is just kinda iffy

[thin bobcat]

Same for the US

[hexed stag]

Meh, I feel like PC has had plenty games.

[halcyon sail]

and youre like autistic when it comes to navigating conversations

[pallid raft]

its an insult yeah but 90 percent of the time its used as banter and stuff

it depends where in UK you are

[real aspen]

im fine with naviating

[pallid raft]

here its fine, you get called a cunt all the time

[real aspen]

assuming i can hear what the other party says

[pallid raft]

everyones a cunt

[pallid raft]

well yea but it doesnt have xenoblade chronicles so is it really worth it

nah

im selling my entire setup

who wants a 7800xt

[halcyon sail]

san andreas, prince of persia, first Halo game, call of duty 1, and a lot more

[pallid raft]

only 4 dolar

[supple lotus]

cunt is endearing

[halcyon sail]

me

[supple lotus]

dogcunt however

[real aspen]

i just call people stupid

because stupid and retarded are the same in my language

[pallid raft]

oh hey binding of isaac actually added item descriptions to the game unmodded

[slim magnet]

chilean has "weon" which is profanity, but it's for "friend" all the way to "retard"

and everything in between

it depends on the intonation and the sentence

[slender jay]

hi, a really stupid question from a partially new player. IS the Anomaly & Gamma folders portable? can i yoink them to fresh win install (reinstalling windows) and be able to play normally with the same save files?

[real aspen]

wrong channel but yes you can

[supple lotus]

wrong chat my man

[slim magnet]

his ass is NOT a newbie he's NOT gonna participate in newbies chat

[real aspen]

newbie chat is bad

[pallid raft]

im not a newbie.. im an offtopic..

[real aspen]

cant blame him

[supple lotus]

kinda true

[thin bobcat]

I mean, even then, this is one of the very few channels in which stalker isn't the main topic

He could've chosen any other channel lmao

[slender jay]

aight mb, didnt see a newbie chat, but thanks

[real aspen]

i dont think novices have that many choices

[supple lotus]

you good

[thin bobcat]

And would've probably had more success

[orchid lotus]

g'morning

[thin bobcat]

Enough to not immediately select the very channel that is called "general-offtopic"

[pallid raft]

stalker chat gets one message every 3 years and newbie chat is an unending torrent of 'hlep instal broken' 'which gun good' 'aremoure?'

[slim magnet]

and the endless sea of idiots spitting misinfo and treating it as fact, which is then perpetuated as they have a high discord rank

[supple lotus]

how often do I have to move the same idiot out of install support VCs before they realise what the issue is

[slim magnet]

it's an unfit to help echo chamber

[supple lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/you-dense-you-dense-motherfucker-motherflocker-you-dense-motherflocker-gif-17518444

[hearty wyvern]

Love echo chambers

[thin bobcat]

That's another wild thing, they use the installation support channels as some sort of private channel

Absolutely retarded

[slim magnet]

granted it's not as bad as invictus chat

[pallid raft]

i saw someone delete their full shaders folder rather than shader cache once

that was funny

[supple lotus]

yeah, the usual braindead shit

[snow tree]

"But it said to delete them!!!2312"

[pallid raft]

some dude got !tools and said 'please dont tell me to use commands, i dont want to cheat ingame'

[real aspen]

i'd say nobody can be that stupid

[orchid lotus]

hilarious

[real aspen]

but i've seen that stupid irl

[thin bobcat]

Spend a few hours reading the support channel

[pallid raft]

then i told him no its a chart to answer your question, read it it tells you about the tools

then he asks

[real aspen]

i spent a year being a IT support

[thin bobcat]

And then try to come back with the same opinion

[real aspen]

that's enough

[pallid raft]

where do i send !tools

brother... its there

[thin bobcat]

That's a joke compared to what we already received

The most simple instructions, literally mapped out, step by step, to the very extraction of a zip file and they still fail

[real aspen]

worst part is

[slim magnet]

yeah literally the only part where it can go bad is if the installer itself freaks out

[real aspen]

they apparently cant think by themselves

[slim magnet]

which can just happen

but other than that there's some hardcore leaps in judgement to fail at the install process

[pallid raft]

join gamma server
what is this turtle telling me about a newcomer role

start yapping and saying 'wow the imserhsoon this is the best sgalger'
no i havent played SoC, is that a mod?
what is the miracle machine? is that in mo2?
guys how to get new graphics, i saw a youtube video from 3 years ago

[real aspen]

[supple lotus]

example #1

[real aspen]

[snow tree]

[slim magnet]

oh dude i remember that guy

lmfaooooooo

[real aspen]

i have no words

[thin bobcat]

They literally skip steps

[orchid lotus]

ain't no way

[thin bobcat]

Because they thought they weren't required

[orchid lotus]

bro can see sound

[supple lotus]

nah he was serious

[slim magnet]

nah dude was completely serious

[pallid raft]

♦️ NONE OF THESE STEPS ARE OPTIONAL, ALL ARE HARD REQUIREMENTS, DON'T SKIP THEM.

[hexed stag]

a person I know has a colleague who's very bad with computers and tech. and boy, their phonecalls get quite intense

[thin bobcat]

And they skip the most random ass steps as well

Just generally, very wild to watch sometimes

[pallid raft]

i saw someone once who had installed anomaly and gamma in the exact same folder

like they just smooshed it together

it was disgusting

[thin bobcat]

You saw it once, the helpers see it on a daily

[pallid raft]

i feel bad for helpers

pay the helpers

[thin bobcat]

[supple lotus]

we do, with crippling depression

[real aspen]

[thin bobcat]

No one gets a payment on here, it's all made for the love of the game

[real aspen]

surely it's love and not hatred and spite

[thin bobcat]

I was pinged at least 60 times while developing a free discord bot, which I would not have had to do

[slim magnet]

return to fastle molfenstein

[pallid raft]

the worst part was i asked them if they just hate organisation and then they started yappin about how it was actually organised better

[thin bobcat]

"Why would I organise it? I have Mod Organizer, even the 2nd version, it should do it automatically"

[real aspen]

putting different stuff together is the exact opposite of organization

[carmine laurel]

[supple lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/ic0niclisa-bphaters-gif-18567201

organising

"looks fine to me"

sleep is starting to hit

and i made next to zero progress

and this shit is due in 10 hours

[hazy niche]

Hey was gonna ask if anyone here that has programming knowledge? I've been playing zero Sievert and there are 2 mods I would love to get working together but I have no clue where to even begin

[slim magnet]

perform a tracheotomy on me

[supple lotus]

never modded Zero Sievert

[slim magnet]

with a pinky finger

[hazy niche]

It's apparently close to c++ according to its wiki

[supple lotus]

Do they have their own discord that might be more knowledgabe?

not sure if you find someone with that particular knowledge here

[hazy niche]

I will investigate that, I just thought that this discord has all kinds of experts 😆

[supple lotus]

i mean, true

its just very specific

not saying you cant ask or find someone, but I'd assume theres more logical places

oh good - after a month of delay I finally get my last Module for the rack today

polyphonic supersaw

[latent hazel]

Asmongold?

[supple lotus]

REJOICE

[carmine laurel]

[left mantle]

Oh good the lyming alt is gone

[uneven sapphire]

gm

[obsidian sun]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[uneven sapphire]

still no images but lyming is banned

[obsidian sun]

woke up to a shitty discord update now my easy bait generator is gone

[left mantle]

what got them muted in the first place?

[uneven sapphire]

[left mantle]

This time I mean

[slim magnet]

watch as a new account appears later today

that is created on this day

[left mantle]

That lives in the same region

[slim magnet]

and will say that he does not know who lyming or chovy are

[left mantle]

And has the same speech patterns

[slim magnet]

yeah

[uneven sapphire]

he is so bad at trying to hide who he is

[obsidian sun]

make him say guys
if he says guy with no s we know it's him

[snow tree]

RIPBOZO

[slim magnet]

salad time

[slim magnet]

grandma sent me some packed salad

it's just unseasoned chopped assorted veggies

[uneven sapphire]

nice

[slim magnet]

but it just hits different

[snow tree]

Chopped veg is nice

[uneven sapphire]

im just having a simple steak sandwich with ketchup

[obsidian sun]

Chopped vag is nice

[slim magnet]

i can't eat bread without having a mental breakdown

i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight i will not rant about weight

[obsidian sun]

im here for a good time not a long time

[uneven sapphire]

easy as that

[slim magnet]

yeah i mean

[uneven sapphire]

thats why i drink 2 daily energy drinks

[slim magnet]

i gotta die from something

[real aspen]

have you tried just not eating bread

[obsidian sun]

i can't live without bread

[slim magnet]

i just developed the craziest self image issues over a really short period of time

[uneven sapphire]

or just make sourdough

[obsidian sun]

99% of foods here are eaten with bread

[slim magnet]

sometimes it's the only thing there is to eat

eating healthy is expensive as fuck

[uneven sapphire]

not really?

[real aspen]

depends on what you consider healthy

[uneven sapphire]

chicken is one of the cheapest foods

[real aspen]

and bread isnt even inherently unhealthy

[slim magnet]

depends on the type of bread

[uneven sapphire]

sourdough for life

[hexed stag]

it is in the US due to how many weird chemicals they put in it and on the grain etc

[real aspen]

american bread isnt bread

it's

uhh

something

[uneven sapphire]

cake

[real aspen]

i love sourdough bread crust

fucking

eating rocks

it feels like

[snow tree]

Bred is good tho

[real aspen]

specifically that thick 'seam' part

[uneven sapphire]

one thing i envy from the US

the gallon sized drinks

[left mantle]

Hell yeah brother

[uneven sapphire]

[snow tree]

Why would you need a gallon

[uneven sapphire]

why not

i dont have to go as many times

[left mantle]

Because i'm clearly a fat fuck

I'm american so I must be fat

[onyx vigil]

So now I just found out that my dog may die due to cancer

[left mantle]

It's in the constitution somewhere

[onyx vigil]

and now I am just depressed

[snow tree]

Biggest they sell here outside of water is like 2L

[uneven sapphire]

[snow tree]

You can find juice boxes that are 5L

[onyx vigil]

Thanks mate appreciate it

[snow tree]

But I'd rather have the smaller one and have it more "fresh"

Thank use gallon sized one

[uneven sapphire]

hope he can beat it

[snow tree]

Give em a big hug

[uneven sapphire]

poor pup

[onyx vigil]

Sadly from what I heard it’s unbeatable but I guess I can hope

[uneven sapphire]

[onyx vigil]

Thanks again really appreciate it

[supple lotus]

not gonna do much i suppose, but my condolences

fuck

[slim magnet]

give the dude the best possible time that's fucking hard

[hexed kernel]

another day another failed job interview

[uneven sapphire]

[broken mountain]

youll get them next time

I will see soon, if the job change will be successful

[slim magnet]

tough shit come back when you have at least 15 years of experience in what you're applying for

[supple lotus]

for an entry level job

[broken mountain]

To be an intern, you need 15 years of experience

2025 job market experience

[hexed kernel]

i've been saying this to myself for a year already

||||

[oak magnet]

entry level job

year experience preferred/required

[slim magnet]

i have only one friend that didn't get a job purely through nepo

and he spent like 2 years job hunting

without success

[supple lotus]

if you dont take any shit job, it can be depressing af

[uneven sapphire]

🤔

[supple lotus]

hence why i worked construction for a while - that always has spots for helping out

[latent hazel]

Construction is hard but honest

Just gotta decide what tires you out the most

People or physical activity

If its people, to the construction site u go

[pallid raft]

took me around 6 months to get an interview, luckily managed to get a job

but the pay is ass and the hours are worse

[slim magnet]

funniest thing about the guy is that the first stable gig he got was in a "kinesiologist agency" thing where he was assigned his own grandmother through coincidence

[broken mountain]

Good thing that I didnt need experience for my job lmao

[latent hazel]

Gym worker?

[slim magnet]

nah

basically pimping out home delivery kinesiology sessions

[hexed kernel]

i want a night job with zero or minimum human interaction
