[opal star]

[copper vapor]

wait but the only mod grok made for s2 was the reduce mutant health cheat, no?

[oblique belfry]

[copper vapor]

[rocky turtle]

but the main problem playing mods with S2 is

[sour rivet]

Gamba has ruined the lives of stalget players

[oblique belfry]

I think the AI bubble is gonna crash first

[cursive steeple]

Oh it already is

[green granite]

Of course he fucking works for Electronic Arts

[forest acorn]

[sick trail]

Didn't someone say GTA6 is $100 or did I dream that

[forest acorn]

its just been speculation

[green granite]

Guh

[blazing maple]

i mean if you just look at how much money nvidia stock is worth its the highest anything has ever been ever. It's being fueled into dead ends to the point even meta is laying off staff

it's gonna collapse soon

[cursive steeple]

I really hope Nvidia will crassh

[forest acorn]

people speculated that bl4 was gonna be 80$ since randy said "it could be 60, it could be 80, i dont make the price" and then it wasnt 80$

[cursive steeple]

and Nintendo has to crash soon

shit ass company

[vital venture]

Heh cat

[blazing maple]

I love being a normal person cause the only hope I have for the future is that everything else crashes and burns and I can scavenge through the scraps

[green granite]

Just like Activision, they wont crash cuz they know no matter how bad they become, people are still automatically buying it

[sour rivet]

girl thinks shes normal

[cursive steeple]

I seriously can't wait for another full-on crash in games

[little depot]

Unpopular opinion

Been on the internet so long everytime someone says that I get PTSD

[green granite]

PTSD from what?
The presence of Job Application Form?

[little depot]

Why?

[vital venture]

More so reading comments of dont bully me nagatoro and learning what type of stuff they made before

[green granite]

Why did you even go to those fandom

[vital venture]

Bored

[green granite]

You already know they are re-skinned my hero academia fandom

[vital venture]

Looking for some romance slop to read

Read too much shit

Should've just kept reading normal books ngl

[little depot]

You can tell at first glance tho

[vital venture]

Its specifically what they made in it

[oblique belfry]

@left mantle JG pantheon

[vital venture]

That im not describing

[left mantle]

tbh i forgot

[oblique belfry]

54k damage at the end

[left mantle]

[little depot]

Lots of mangakas started their careers drawing doujins for other popular works

[vital venture]

Yk what the theme for the doujin was?

[turbid shuttle]

Just got called the n word by a 6 year old on rust

[little depot]

Oh I recognize this artist as well

[sick trail]

Tool got Nanashi PTSD

[little depot]

She's pretty cool

Just very socially awkward

[green granite]

I dont even know if its he or she

[little depot]

She

[sick trail]

She's not weird enough, there's no physical characteristic to judge her by

[oblique belfry]

@sour rivet it finally happened

[vital venture]

Idrc that its doujin its more weird what doujin they made

[sour rivet]

oh my god

[little depot]

I've already seen these cuppy

Try harder

[green granite]

Uh

[oblique belfry]

@left mantle for fucks sake

[little depot]

Sighhh

I'm not even gonna say it

I'm gonna just stare at you

[sick trail]

Some openly state "There's no porn of this, so I'll make it myself"
power of an artist

[vital venture]

True enough

[quiet abyss]

can you do that now? or sleeping soon

[static axle]

you asked, here i am

[timber oxide]

Oh there he is

Hi Hate

[static axle]

https://tenor.com/view/pepo-hi-hello-pepe-nya-gif-18485937

[quiet abyss]

hello hate

thanks for the lotr games that you got me like 3 months ago

[static axle]

hola, and no im not buying you bf6

[quiet abyss]

wasnt gonna ask

[timber oxide]

[static axle]

[quiet abyss]

shut up pyr

[vital venture]

Immediately assumed wild

[quiet abyss]

i mean rightfully so

i admit that much

[vital venture]

I dont wanna know

[quiet abyss]

anyways, tell uno to add me on steam

i wanna play glorptide with him

[vital venture]

Fuck I need to get into that game again

[quiet abyss]

ive been unsuccessful in my attempts (hes asleep probably)

[quiet abyss]

join me

now

[static axle]

and yeah no rudeness, just overstressed and over worked so i didnt have motivation for the classic pyrson experience

[quiet abyss]

[vital venture]

If ur willing to add my dumbass why not

[quiet abyss]

yeah gimme fatshart friend code

[timber oxide]

I can give you the lite experience next time

[static axle]

[quiet abyss]

are you new or experienced? i assume experienced, since you said "get back into it"

[static axle]

but are you aware of the best bug yet

[timber oxide]

What's the best bug

[vital venture]

Level 30 characters but thats really it since I never grouped in it

[static axle]

reloading while sliding or jumping will make you realoded mag have movement penalty

[vital venture]

Also reminding me I need to finish my one shot boss zealot

[quiet abyss]

ah ok, i have 3 level 30 classes

and i fucking hate ogryn

fuck ogryn

[static axle]

reading tuesday patch notes its so clear this is an ass game but i do like it still

[quiet abyss]

shit feels like a bathtub to play

[vital venture]

Playing as or using

[timber oxide]

Oh so that's why I sometimes felt slower

[vital venture]

I can see both cause he gets in the way of shots

[quiet abyss]

im not trying to use those ogryn weapons

hes fucking annoying

[static axle]

yeah and it also affects bullet spread and shit

[quiet abyss]

ah yes, let me flip out the handle

JUST USE THE HANDLE ALL THE TIME

YOU OAF

fucking hell

[oblique belfry]

@sour rivet this was the by far the worst fiddle game i've ever played

Oh hate's back

[vital venture]

Im assuming only playing then cause hes my other maxed

[oblique belfry]

hi hate

[vital venture]

I think

Been a fucking min

[quiet abyss]

i dont care what you play

[vital venture]

I dont actually remember

[left mantle]

check yo steam

[quiet abyss]

as long as its not some fuckass niche build thats good at one thing and thats it

[static axle]

also not confirmend but there might be a chance that scope magnification also plays a part in spread amount

[quiet abyss]

[static axle]

decided to come back cause pyrson asked for me

[oblique belfry]

neat

[vital venture]

One shot hammer zealot specced into aoe heal and stun cause im not a complete dumbass

[left mantle]

Still haven't confirmed if you can go over the visual limit for augments

Because I got an augment extra over the limit one game

[oblique belfry]

that's probably for chaos

if you mean the 5th augment

[left mantle]

I got king me and chaos

[quiet abyss]

one shot what...

[left mantle]

I mean 6.

[quiet abyss]

captains?

[oblique belfry]

[quiet abyss]

plague ogryns?

or like... mini bosses

[vital venture]

if its exists and im behind

[quiet abyss]

because if you mean the monstrosities thats fucked

[vital venture]

chunks

[quiet abyss]

ah behind

[vital venture]

it can one shot monstrosities

[quiet abyss]

that makes sense

thunder hammer backshot

[vital venture]

but I have to invis spec for that and im not a selfish prick

[quiet abyss]

thunderous backshots if you will

[quiet abyss]

yeah thats real

[vital venture]

indeed

[quiet abyss]

i mean when i play zealot with crucis, i can do 1/5th

with a charged attack

maybe a little less

no idea

but thats a total of like 6 hits

but either way, i usually run relic blade, thunder hammer is nice

but the relic is better

[vital venture]

I would have to try and explain the perks and such but tbh its been so long idr what most of them do

[quiet abyss]

its just that the relic is more generally useful

[vital venture]

But I also run relic blade recently

Fun as fuck

[quiet abyss]

it does it better

less boss damage tho

what mark?

mark ii or mark x

[vital venture]

It reset my perks

Give me a sec

[quiet abyss]

mark x is more fun, mark ii is more effort but fun

[quiet abyss]

yeah it did that once to me as vet

but i fixed it

[vital venture]

All fucking three builds fuck me

[quiet abyss]

[pure compass]

gems are truly outrageous

[oblique belfry]

[vital venture]

[vital venture]

mb should've prob pinged, sent

[quiet abyss]

foiled my plan

[vital venture]

real

[quiet abyss]

we gonna play heresy, because im trying out new weapons

and i dont have the hang of things as vet

[vital venture]

fair enough

[quiet abyss]

its been a long time since i played it

if i was playing zealot or arbites we would do damnation

[vital venture]

I mean I alr said it been a min so I kinda expected it lol

[quiet abyss]

fair point XD

im just gonna use ingame text chat now, easier than tabbing in/out

[static axle]

its him

[quiet abyss]

shit ass darktide servers

@vital venture dc'ed

like usual

fatshart servers dying as usual

[vital venture]

tbh I do a lot as well

retry or nah

[quiet abyss]

yeah

imma join

back

give it a min to unfuck itself

yeah its gonna 3013 until it refreshes

takes like 2-3 minutes

so in terms of time, its a one slipknot song long wait

strike team full

cancer

fucking hate these servers

[vital venture]

welp player went afk and other is ngl pretty bad

[quiet abyss]

only bad part of DT

[vital venture]

so doesnt matter

[quiet abyss]

yep, that happens

[vital venture]

I got fucked by a trapper

[quiet abyss]

yep

also happens

i find dogs to be more annoying

[vital venture]

one time I dont hear it coming rip

[quiet abyss]

but at least you can cross map them

unlike trappers

[vital venture]

I can just spam push dogs 90% of the time

[quiet abyss]

oh they do that sometimes

[quiet abyss]

i dont spam push, i just time it

dont wanna waste stam

[oblique belfry]

man

[quiet abyss]

need that for the horde, since unlike power sword, you actually utilize the push mechanic with the knife

[oblique belfry]

guess ill sleep now

[vital venture]

true

[quiet abyss]

ok lets do that again

[quiet abyss]

@hexed kernel you remember stabbing crushers to death with combat blade?

that shit is hilarious

ah yes, carapace armor, the closest anyone can get to astartes armor without astartes armor

[static axle]

now some sleep

[quiet abyss]

defeated by a fucking knife

[green granite]

Interesting

[thick kettle]

What's the braking distance on one of them?

I know it's pretty quick, but not school zone quick

[green granite]

Abram moves at like 45MPH max so

Its not a very fast vehicle

Around 4-7 second stop

School zone you moves at 20mph anyway so

Plenty of stop

[thick kettle]

yeah that's still nuts for a vehicle that weights, what, 55 tons with the TUSK kit?

Or am I thinking the SEP V3

Regardless, it's stupidly heavy

That's a pretty good stopping speed ngl

4-7 seconds ain't bad for "I am big" incarnate

[turbid shuttle]

We got fucking MELTED by the boss

[green granite]

I wonder how aerodynamic is abrams

[pure compass]

Dont they have like, extra cameras?

[green granite]

I think thats one of the variant has like a big camera post on turret

[thick kettle]

More then a jeep wrangler

I can tell you that much

Petition to the government to have an Abrams for CFD analysis

Power pack included please 🥺

[green granite]

I know a cow has more aerodynamic than a jeep

[thick kettle]

A cow sideways is more aerodynamic then a jeep

I used to have the CFD to prove it

But uh

[pure compass]

dont you just need a model lmao

[thick kettle]

Hard drive go WEEEEE

[thick kettle]

Shhhhhhh

Also 3d scanners exist

I can make it a model ;)

[pure compass]

idk if you need to describe the actual material of the tonk tho

What if it has ERA

[thick kettle]

Like the TUSK?

I haven't seen ERA on an Abrams in quite some time

They use mostly NERA

NERA works better against tandem warheads then ERA

[pure compass]

oh, bad for infantry too

[thick kettle]

NERA?

ERA is bad for infantry, NERA just

Exists

[pure compass]

the explosive armor yeah, derp

[pure compass]

isnt a lobster more aerodynamic than a jeep?

[thick kettle]

Lobsters are stupidly aerodynamic

They're more aerodynamic then many high performance cars even

[quiet abyss]

thats funny

[thick kettle]

points at CFD THE FUNNY NUMBERS MASON, LOOK AT THEM.

[quiet abyss]

fun fact back when the US was deployed in the middle east, somewhere over there, an abrams shot a motorbike with 2 enemies on it, with an MPAT tank shell

they couldnt find a single piece of the bike, or the people

[thick kettle]

Multi Purpose Anti Tank?

[quiet abyss]

they were all scattered or buried in sand

[thick kettle]

Isn't that APHE basically??

[quiet abyss]

yes, they direct impacted a dirtbike

basically

[thick kettle]

Jesus Christ

[quiet abyss]

the bike was attempting to tail a military vehicle

[thick kettle]

I can imagine they got turned to vapor

[quiet abyss]

and the abrams gunner decided the .50 was too little for them

so he used a 120mm tank shell

[vital venture]

I can imagine reporting that

[thick kettle]

Probably hit the wrong button on the FCS 🤣

[quiet abyss]

no no, it was intentional

[vital venture]

"sir I wasnt confident the 50 would hit"

[thick kettle]

WHAT?

[quiet abyss]

he had 100% intent to obliterate the 2 of the fuckers

[thick kettle]

🤣

[quiet abyss]

but he was confident the 120mm would??

im pretty sure they have a lower velocity

than a .50

[thick kettle]

The 120mm has a much further effective rante

[vital venture]

who knows what type of bs they made up for it

[quiet abyss]

so i think it would be even harder to hit

[thick kettle]

Especially with FCS

[quiet abyss]

no i think they just didnt tell him

why would you

[vital venture]

honestly wouldnt doubt it lol

[quiet abyss]

they wouldnt notice a MPAT missing

theyre all over the fucking place

[thick kettle]

MPAT is basically phased out atp

[quiet abyss]

yeah its kinda dead

since we have specialized rounds now

[thick kettle]

Even though they're bringing another form of it back again

I forget what they're calling it now 🙄

[quiet abyss]

but the thing is, it was only around because it was a tank deployed years ago

it was around 20 years ago iirc

so it was still somewhat common

[thick kettle]

Ah, yeah gotcha

[quiet abyss]

yeah theyre being replaced by AMPs

but MPAT is still in widespread use

for now

[thick kettle]

Is it?

I've never seen one in a Ready rack before ngl

[vital venture]

anyways it was fun but im like 90% sure if I open my window im gonna see hail or some bs outside and I rather not test my 12 year old piece of shit surge protector

[thick kettle]

It's always canister and APFSDS

[quiet abyss]

at least officially its in use

doesnt mean its actually being used

just means its available

[thick kettle]

Canister rounds 🤤

[quiet abyss]

doesnt mean they choose it for tank crews

BIG FUCKOFF SHOTGUN

basically

[thick kettle]

Yeg

Yeh*

"JOHNSON, REMOVE THAT WALL"

"On the way!"

clunk

Wall gone

[quiet abyss]

plot twist, wall is bunker wall

wall is still there

[thick kettle]

Fawk

[quiet abyss]

@vital venture you left you fucker, i went to respond then responded to the whole lobby

[vital venture]

[thick kettle]

I listen to a fuckton of shit, but I am a tool enjoyer

[vital venture]

Once again tho 13 hours and I can play more if a dip shit doesnt ask to play BF 6

[thick kettle]

Excluding extratone

Fuck that shit

Toddler vs "Fuck off"

[quiet abyss]

try reading rules before posting

!topic

[solid sundial]

@quiet abyss

NO STALKER, NO MEMES, NO POLITICS

General chat to talk about anything (except Stalker, we already have a whole server for that).
If you need to ask a question about GAMMA, ask in #newbies-chat.
Stalcraft is fine, the setting of the game is Stalker but the game itself is not Stalker.

NO STALKER, NO MEMES, NO POLITICS

General chat to talk about anything (except Stalker, we already have a whole server for that).
If you need to ask a question about GAMMA, ask in #newbies-chat.
Stalcraft is fine, the setting of the game is Stalker but the game itself is not Stalker.

Man I heard some batshit numbers come out of microsoft

For what they expect from xbox

...30%

How in the fuck do they expect that?

[pallid sapphire]

Yeah 30% win margin is fucking crazy

Greedy bastards

[left mantle]

And it's permanently kneecapped the xbox side of their business

[spare sparrow]

they wanted %30 profits ? thats not too outrageous

[left mantle]

It is.

Not even sony hits that shit

Even in its best years

[spare sparrow]

what about jewtendo

[left mantle]

Same thing

30% is you have to be absolutely fucking KILLING IT

[thin bobcat]

Aren't consoles just like Printers? Usually you take a loss on the console, just to make profit from the game sales and the % cut you get?

[left mantle]

And that ain't something any gaming company has reasonably hit in awhile

[quiet yew]

oh hey, a console debate

[thin bobcat]

Heard something like that some time ago

[quiet yew]

yeah basically

I love people who actually think consoles are more performance for money

[spare sparrow]

xboxes and pses always sold on loss, dunno about nintendo

[spare sparrow]

technically, that sentence is true

[thin bobcat]

I mean, they are a great way to enter the gaming industry as an individual, just not necessarily perfect for people that buy a game every few days

Then the sales on PC can be a lot better

[pallid sapphire]

Consoles are consistent performance,cheaper than a good gsming pc but thsts it

[quiet yew]

for like the first three months of usage

[pallid sapphire]

Prices for games are overall fucked now

[thin bobcat]

Yeah but console players are fucked way harder

[left mantle]

But 30% is an absolutely insane ask of a company

[thin bobcat]

There is barely a sale on there lmao

[quiet yew]

then you get fucked in the ass by subscriptions and higher game prices

[spare sparrow]

i wonder whats valves profit

[left mantle]

Actually insane.

[spare sparrow]

says %40

[left mantle]

Yes

40% is insane

[pallid sapphire]

They just nuked 3 billion with a single Cs2 update

[left mantle]

Walmart is on like a 3% profit magin IIRC

[thin bobcat]

I mean, I somewhat get it, they have to design the PCB, licenses for the chips, the minimum order quantity for the chips of AMD etc.

[left mantle]

I don't.

[thin bobcat]

They have a ton of up-front charges and risks for shit that could very easily be a flop

[left mantle]

It's an insane ask

[spare sparrow]

yeah, even volkswagen does %5

[left mantle]

Made by someone that's not looked at the actual math

[thin bobcat]

Then the custom operating system, game development infrastructure

[left mantle]

It's just an insane statement to even hear

[broken mountain]

Console players are fucked overall

[spare sparrow]

ok then i get it

[broken mountain]

Paying for a subscription to have multiplayer

[spare sparrow]

those percentages seem small to me cuz we have massive inflation here

my minds skewed

[broken mountain]

Games exclusive for either xbox or playstation

[thin bobcat]

It's definitely not cheap

[broken mountain]

absolutely no fucking games for the ps5

[thin bobcat]

Or well, not low

[left mantle]

Well for these companies 3% can be several mil

[thin bobcat]

But I kinda get it but let's be fair, I don't use an xbox

lmao

[spare sparrow]

me i never had a console

[thin bobcat]

So even if I get it, it doesn't impact me

[quiet yew]

me neither

it's completely pointless for me

[spare sparrow]

grew up poor and shit, only had a 8bit atari type thing in my childhood

later when i had money, always pc

[quiet yew]

consoles are just worse PCs if you have any amount of technical/IT knowledge

[pallid sapphire]

I have like 20 cause their more chill to play on couch than on pc

[thin bobcat]

I mean, I get the pricing, you can get an alright-ish or even good computer for 500 - 700€ but then again, it comes with the baggage of not just having the operating system hold your hand

On PlayStation or Xbox, it's very hard to fuck something up

On PC on the other hand, one wrong executable and your OS is fried lmao

[quiet yew]

like I said, IF you have the knowledge

[thin bobcat]

Yeah but I am just arguing for consoles

I don't use them but I get why someone would prefer it

[quiet yew]

maaaaybe if you're buying for a literal child

[carmine laurel]

You're being biased

[spare sparrow]

well consoles cant do shit either

[pallid sapphire]

Mah Shiny boi

[quiet yew]

but then I'd rather just teach my kid some IT knowledge

[carmine laurel]

look at how many people cant install gamma

[spare sparrow]

mute the games sound and play your favorite albums in the back in winamp ?

[carmine laurel]

and its a straightforward 10 step thing

[spare sparrow]

checkmate

[thin bobcat]

I mean, look, if you have a dude that only spends the weekend playing shit and when he comes off his shift, just wants to play a couple of rounds and not care about anything else, then a console is perfect

[carmine laurel]

[thin bobcat]

Turn on, start game and you're finished

[carmine laurel]

nothing beats consoles for "Turn on, pick game, play"

[quiet yew]

as a person living in the 21st century, you WILL use a computer

might as well get good at it

[thin bobcat]

I mean, many people that interact with computers because of work for example just get one from the company

Which is locked

And tracked

And some people strike a difference between a computer and a console, maybe they don't want to be on a computer and at a desk when they come home

Just pick up a controller in their living room

[quiet yew]

you can connect a PC to your TV too

[spare sparrow]

i dont even have a tv, but thats me

[quiet yew]

you don't have to sit in a chair

[carmine laurel]

ok do you have yours connected?

[thin bobcat]

Yeah, with 15 hoops to jump through to make it work, some games have no controller support

[quiet yew]

no, because I prefer the desk

[thin bobcat]

And you will always need a keyboard if you want a password

Or interact with steam

[left mantle]

You're coming at this from the wrong perspective

[carmine laurel]

look theres a reason there are still more people playing consoles than pc

and its simply cause the average person wants it to be easy

not to have to learn to make it easy

[thin bobcat]

Keyboard and mouse if you don't want to press Tab 50 times to get on the button you want to click

[carmine laurel]

its for entertainment

[left mantle]

Convenience will always win

Always.

That's the reason shit becomes a staple

[thin bobcat]

Or learn why his computer suddenly started bluescreening

Or care about viruses

[carmine laurel]

trueeeee

[spare sparrow]

tell me, can consoles do kb&m nowadays ?

[quiet yew]

That convenience is slowly starting to vain though
It's never been easier to build/maintain a PC and consoles are shooting themselves in the feet with their subscription price gouging

[thin bobcat]

Somewhat, not officially but through some means and a few hoops, yes

[vital venture]

PS5 is convenient, only reason I use a PC is cause of games I can only play on PC

[thin bobcat]

You usually need an external device tho

[left mantle]

You'd be massively surprised.

[spare sparrow]

so lets say you can kbm in a ps5 play bf6 and destroy people ?

[quiet yew]

really depends on the game I think

[left mantle]

Consoles are still massively easier for the average person.

[carmine laurel]

your entire starting point already shows the difference.

"It's never been easier to build/maintain a pc"

Ok cool but all I have to do with my console is take it out a box and plug it in and it runs at 100%

[quiet yew]

not saying they aren't
just saying that it's not as massive of an advantage it was 20 years ago

[left mantle]

This is one of those situations where when you look from an external view the difference is still staggering for a lot of people.

[quiet yew]

Ok cool but all I have to do with my console is take it out a box and plug it in and it runs at 100%
you can buy a pre-built

[carmine laurel]

which is still more complex than a console

[quiet yew]

barely

[carmine laurel]

cause you need to worry about specs

[thin bobcat]

I have never preferred consoles and I probably will never do so but I am not going to deny the reason that they exist and are more convenient for the average dude

Not everyone wants to build a computer, not everyone wants to troubleshoot, not everyone wants to handle the security of their operating system

[left mantle]

specs, installs, and software updates

[carmine laurel]

literally "can I run bf6 on my ps5?" = yes

Can this prebuilt run it maxed out? = idk I need to ask someone

[thin bobcat]

And not everyone wants to bother with minimum hardware requirements

[supple lotus]

Good morning offtopic

[vital venture]

The point of it barely mattering for little doesnt really work well when u have thousands of little things to worry about

[carmine laurel]

remove your years of using a pc from the topic and ask yourself which of the two would be easier if you actually just wanted to get something to play one game

[spare sparrow]

i see the convenience point

[quiet yew]

Yeah I agree with that

[carmine laurel]

[thin bobcat]

Good morning

[spare sparrow]

but i am too far gone in the pc capabilities of multitasking/modding etc, i can never do consoles

[left mantle]

This is literally a sentence reason why I think SC isn't for new people. The amount of tiny things people who play it for ages do really compounds and drastically alters how fun or convienent interacting with it is

[thin bobcat]

Definitely, I am not saying consoles have the upper hand in literally anything other than convenience but that is a extremely strong factor

[spare sparrow]

i dont even play games on my phone, but millions do nowadays apparently

[carmine laurel]

and for like 90% of the gaming market, simplicity is what sells anything

[thin bobcat]

There are people that would rather spend 100€ more monthly on a subscription because the UI is easier to navigate

[vital venture]

For someone to achieve getting a pc from a family that doesnt know what they are doing u basically gotta be old enough to earn ur own income cause not many families are gonna buy stuff like that for u when they research and see everything they worry about

[left mantle]

Any market really

KISS

[spare sparrow]

was having a coffee the other day, this young fella was playing something league looking on his phone

[thin bobcat]

Simplicity and ease of use will always be the strongest factor in any equation

[carmine laurel]

and dont forget that many people who do prefer to play on consoles dont have 300+ game libraries

they have like 10-20 games max, and dont get hit by AAA pricing each new release

dude is sitting down with cod party play for months

that sub isnt competing with each new game release

[left mantle]

There's a reason a lot of times if you're getting taught by people with experience in a design field that "Keep It Simple Stupid" is the prevailing theme

IF you make something overly complex it also becomes overly burdensome to teach people how to operate it

[vital venture]

Space king moment

[thin bobcat]

Some people do though, some people have a really big and bloated library on their console, maybe not 300 titles but 50 or 60, which is already quite a lot for a console, many people just prefer plug and play over having to learn new stuff

[carmine laurel]

for real

The guys I know with really big console libraries tend to have a lot of sport and racing games anyway

[vital venture]

God not even mentioning how many updates u gotta do for pc if u kept it waiting long enough

[supple lotus]

ok the day got a litl better, the cute colleague made bananabread

[spare sparrow]

apparently, pressing "source" button on remote and changing sources is too hard for general people at my workplace

[carmine laurel]

[spare sparrow]

and all these people have smart tvs at their homes

[thin bobcat]

And the fact that literal official windows updates can fuck your installation

[supple lotus]

[vital venture]

Suddenly waiting over an hour when u wanted to do a quick 30 min session on a game really fucks the vibe

[carmine laurel]

me when I get a steam update for a game thats been dead for 5 years and its a security hole update for unity

[left mantle]

Not surprising.

[vital venture]

They've seen some crazy shit from their perspective

My family wasn't that well off either, my brother initially wanted to be an aviation mechanic, working on planes but instead became a gas and water service technician to help out here and there

[vital venture]

True my mother used to own a pc company

Now she has no idea what the fuck im talking about

i mean even we have seen crazy shit

[left mantle]

And it's just gonna steadily get crazier in different ways

[spare sparrow]

i first saw a cell phone in 1997

and now theres ai and all

[vital venture]

I would say if I was born a bit earlier and maybe for all of us that we could consider VR wild shit

[left mantle]

Machine Learning*

Lets be clear

Actual AI isn't a thing yet

[vital venture]

Oh fuck AI is a good point even if I fucking hate it

[spare sparrow]

well ok thats right

[blazing jackal]

Tech is modern magic, for most the volume of info they dont give a fuck is too great, but they need quasiknowledge about how it works, so its magic. Like electrons running in wires.

[spare sparrow]

im just using the name

however fake it is

[supple lotus]

on one hand its developing very fast, one the other I'd like to see at least one big, major breakthrough still before i am too old

implants and cybernetics exist already, if you consider pacemakers and shunts and all

[left mantle]

I just want ITER to actually have first plasma fucking covid set it back too much

[thin bobcat]

It feels like we have already reached somewhat of a cap on the LLM's, I could be very wrong, I don't have literally any info on any of the development going on behind the scenes but it seems like they are now jumping in other niches

[supple lotus]

true, but nothing to the sort of what would be considered - fun

[supple lotus]

i had this epiphany about AI

When I was a kid, a Photo of something was proof of something's existence. undeniably proven.
These days you gotta teach kids that NOTHING is real without the capability to proof it or check it against possible AI generation. Scary thought and so weird

[vital venture]

Prob would need to fix the cheater issue entirely before people think about using those

[thin bobcat]

Which will never happen lmao

[spare sparrow]

this isnt an epiphany, this is fact

[thin bobcat]

It only got more rampant if anything

[supple lotus]

still a realisation, and it has to be a fact to be realised this strongly

[vital venture]

Kinda funny how its a repeat of our generation's dont trust people u find online their persona's could be fake but prob reaching

[spare sparrow]

btw, some of those latest sora 2 videos, i cant tell if real or fake

[vital venture]

Thinking about that they still go over that a lot I wonder

[supple lotus]

"dont meet with people from online and dont drive with strangers"

now we book strangers through the internet to drive us somewhere

[vital venture]

Eh prob

A sad fact to deal with is that the next generation is prob just gonna accept ai into their daily lives
