Good for you

But I didn't ask

[marsh cargo]

i hate the layout

[timber oxide]

Nor do I care what you do with your whale in your free time

[left mantle]

arccorp is the oldest landing zone now btw

[marsh cargo]

yep i can tell

[left mantle]

It hasn't been updated in a long ass time

[marsh cargo]

new design is
add 15 elevators and add the car dealership 3 steps away from the landing pad

[pallid sapphire]

Atm stranded,very sad story

[zealous depot]

[pallid sapphire]

Thats not funny

Its really sad

That one will die

[marsh cargo]

well

i cant read it

[pallid sapphire]

It stranded cause it rather dies on land than drown and die in the water

They actualy do that when they are weak and sick

They really dont wanna drown

[quiet abyss]

Cant make me sad, because i cant read

[pallid sapphire]

It only says stranded whale and where

[marsh cargo]

damn

poor whale

[proven tundra]

What's he smoking

[blazing maple]

they complained about being poor so they jacked the prices, yet still did collabs with people like the rock and loony tunes and paid out millions to ai slop custom world creators and then obliterated 1000 employees and scrabbed multiple game modes

genuinely outstanding

[left mantle]

I was unprepared for subtitles to work for NPC dialogue in SC, and yes each one has a name.

[quiet abyss]

Mobile games hate this kind of whale

[pallid sapphire]

[green granite]

This thing

[green granite]

I dont like using this exotic

I guess ppl do I never touched it

[zealous depot]

His ult now allows him to pass through people until he hits someone he can insta kill

[thick plover]

We need to kill you

[marsh cargo]

pull it out
shoot the boss twice
put it away

minimal story atm

basically you're there as a reunification force but your ship suffered catastrophic damage, so starting from near nothing while juggling multiple planets n factions with the penultimate enemy being Menace itself

atm there's no stakes in it

[thick plover]

I mean if they do the same thing as they did last game, which I hope they don't

there might be a "endgame threat"

in battle brothers its noble wars, a ork invasion and such

but I doubt they would do that for this game

the combat aspect is awesome

is the universe really infinite

would one reach a point where it wraps around or a no matter beyond this point area appears

that's sort of what the observable universe is really

nothing past this point please turn around

The observable universe is just that, what we can see. It definately goes on after that.

ye but like what's out there

Probably more of what we can see, until you reach that start of the universe eventually (if you could)

after shutting down Bluepoint Studio, I don't doubt Sony is simply allergic to money

[left mantle]

Also there would be a point where past it there is 0 matter, but the issue is you'd never ever really be able to reach that point as long as the universe keeps expanding.

[copper vapor]

depends on how fast it expands and whether it's physically possible to outpace it

I doubt it is but, who knows

if the universe expands like a fart cloud, maybe one day we can outrun it

play five minuts
don't like
never touch it again

[copper vapor]

do you build multiple bases like old X-COM/Phoenix Point or is it only one base like the Firaxis ones

[arctic flicker]

you get a space ship

[frank hearth]

like good god what did they do to drifter and victor

[left mantle]

But yeah, Hubble's law is a real thing but we don't measure the expansion as a speed but a rate.

[copper vapor]

so you only get to develop that one space ship? like the avenger in XCOM 2?

[arctic flicker]

yeah

[copper vapor]

hm.

well now I know my X-COM purist tard of a friend is gonna look at this game unfavorably

because in his opinion one of the "most complex and indepth" features of OG X-COM was the fact that you had to build and manage multiple bases

[arctic flicker]

anyone can manage multiple bases

[copper vapor]

✋ I can't

[arctic flicker]

bait the aliens into attacking then activate a nuke in a fake base

[copper vapor]

My first and only attempt at playing X-COM failed spectacularly

also wanted to ask how much sensor i need to detect everything?

i got this rn

[arctic flicker]

thank

then we could predict the future maybe

I wouldn't want to know everything possible, sounds dreadfully boring.

[oak magnet]

i agree

[untold spear]

he knows tho

[left mantle]

There's always more to learn.

[copper vapor]

knowing everything means you stop learning

[oak magnet]

but if you could know literally everything about everything, state of atoms, electrons etc

[copper vapor]

on the other hand you're practically god

[oak magnet]

then id reckon u could predict the future

[copper vapor]

I mean... not really

[untold spear]

this guy thinks there's a future

how silly

[copper vapor]

as far as 'predicting the future' goes, knowing everything means you know every possible outcome
but you don't know which possible outcome will happen before it happens

[left mantle]

^

Probability exists until the action is taken

[untold spear]

there's a possiblity that there is only one possible outcome for every choice

and everything else is just illusion

[left mantle]

Except there isnt.

[copper vapor]

I mean

[untold spear]

well, materially only one choice will be made

so technically only one choice exists

the rest doesn't

No.

WHAT IS THIS ZOOMER ASS SCREEN

WHAT'S GOING ON

[green granite]

I hate that it took me a bit to realize its Payday 2 due to

Eye vomit

[left mantle]

Saying they're any less real because they didn't materialize misses the point of the choice. If you're reading the future for all intents and purposes you will not know which locks in.

[zealous depot]

Oh shit he's right

Its payday

And its rhe good payday

[quiet abyss]

wheres my hello

[zealous depot]

Sup bitch

[untold spear]

it doesn't really

[quiet abyss]

good enough

[untold spear]

those two things can coexist

[quiet abyss]

tbh, i dont think payday 2 is 2k hour material

idk how people play it that long

[untold spear]

farm infamy

[marsh cargo]

or you know

actually liking the game

[quiet abyss]

but that shit is so boorring

i liked payday 2 and i couldnt even drop 200 hours

[untold spear]

i jsut say it because i have seen people do it

[left mantle]

Either way, even if you "predict" the future its pointless because you either know every choice or none at all.

[untold spear]

and i too did it for a bit

[quiet abyss]

idk i only did infamy like 2

then i was like, welp, this game has been fun

and theres no way im EVER 100%ing it

fuck that

anyone who does that is clinically insane

I bought it to play with a friend, got 34 hours out of it

[quiet abyss]

only issue is like 30% are paid

which is ok and all

but it sucks

[noble basin]

or brainless mode gunning everything down is always chill imo

[restive bear]

Pd2 is good. I just wish you didn't have to make very specific builds to make the most fun out of PD2

[left mantle]

You do?

[quiet abyss]

i dont remember that

[left mantle]

Crazy I never encountered this issue

[quiet abyss]

i remember being a-ok with my shitty crook build on mayhem

[noble basin]

u dont

[quiet abyss]

or death wish too

sometimes

also, crook slaps

a fun build

[noble basin]

best diff

[thick plover]

Blood west devs, why is he cheeked up

[restive bear]

I wanted to go for a simple build that can take on all difficulties but it just doesn't do it good enough

[quiet abyss]

crook is so cool, because its like a dodge build but not nearly as flimsy if you get unlucky on dodge

[untold spear]

maybe in death sentence

[quiet abyss]

[left mantle]

Not even in death sentence

[untold spear]

maybe ur just that good

[quiet abyss]

its got a good dodge stat and good armor, so crook is just good

[untold spear]

[quiet abyss]

nah ds and dsod definitely require good builds, not super specialized

but good

[left mantle]

Never had a time where I went "I have to play it this specific way" outside of stealth required missions

[green granite]

If you 100% PD2 you don't need to get a job

[quiet abyss]

cant be some wach shit

[restive bear]

And like, I have to use someone's guide to make a build DSOD capable

[green granite]

You however need to check into psych ward

[quiet abyss]

yeah, you need to get a psych ward

[restive bear]

Which I guess means it's good for all difficulties

[green granite]

I love how we said the same thing

[quiet abyss]

guides are retarded

just make one

[quiet abyss]

yeah lmao

[untold spear]

the original friendslop

[restive bear]

I'm also retarded

[quiet abyss]

just unretard

and make one

i make all my builds on darktide yet theyre havoc 40 viable

hardest diff

but its useable and good

its just some shit i slapped together

[noble basin]

you end up making them urself quite easily after a while

[quiet abyss]

not even after a while

[restive bear]

I don't really build good unless I can make sure it does everything good in one place and without being good at one specific thing

[quiet abyss]

just read the tooltip, decide if its worth

and pick it

payday 2 does a decent job explaining things

[noble basin]

after reading and understanding skills ig

[quiet abyss]

unlike some games

[restive bear]

Like I am very jack-of-all trades minded

[noble basin]

cause skill description aint the best

[restive bear]

I don't like min-maxxing my shi

[quiet abyss]

its better than some of darktides

like darktide doesnt even tell you what RENDING IS

[left mantle]

Some?

You mean most.

[quiet abyss]

which is like the most CRUCIAL STAT

[noble basin]

yeah but also the vanilla hud is missing some n

[quiet abyss]

true

[quiet abyss]

i think it was sufficient

unless youre a nerd

now darktide is missing a LOT of hud, and a LOT of explanations

[restive bear]

Cuz I think to enjoy a game to the fullest, I have to think hard to make a build that can engage with all content no matter the difficulty

[quiet abyss]

pd2 has most of it good

[quiet abyss]

but thats not even true

you can run so much goofy shit, up to death wish dif

and its fine

[left mantle]

More games need to pull a card out of POE2's playbook

[quiet abyss]

ok death wish might be a little high for super silly things, but usually anything flies on mayhem

[restive bear]

Yeah but think of shit that needs to synergize to even survive DSOD

[quiet abyss]

yeah but your issue is playing dsod

[restive bear]

Like people using stealth+dodge

[quiet abyss]

dsod isnt fun

its boring

its just focusslop

[noble basin]

you have like 20 build slots you dont need to use only one for everything lol

[quiet abyss]

you have to actually try

ds normal is ok

[left mantle]

If it gives a keyword, that shit is underlined and you can hold alt to get the tooltip up and mouse over that keyword and it tells you EXACTLY what that shit does

[quiet abyss]

or at least have an ingame guide

[left mantle]

And you can pin each one if a keyword references another keyword

[quiet abyss]

AHEM

FUCKING HANDBOOK

darktide could use one

but NO

lets just not

[restive bear]

If it weren't for thr game having shitton of achievements and my completionist ass triggering to make me do max difficulty to feel a little sense of accomplishment, I might've just stayed in like difficulty 1 of whatever it was called in PD2

[quiet abyss]

leave it to darktide youtubers, dataminers and goobers

[quiet abyss]

dude not dif 1

that shit was a snooze

overkill+

nothing less

[noble basin]

dodge can suck and is not that fun of a playstyle imho

[restive bear]

Like every heist has achievements for every difficulty and there's nothing more satisfying getting all difficulty achievements for a heist in one sitting

[quiet abyss]

yeah, thats why crook

crook slaps

its a dodge tank

[noble basin]

but it can help in higher diff but i honestly never go full dodge

[quiet abyss]

you get good armor, so youre not flimsy as fuck

but you can also dodge shit

often

like i said, like 30-40 dodge

thats really good for someone wearing heavy ballistic

[noble basin]

almost any other perk derk is better than the dodge one

[quiet abyss]

im not sure how close 30-40 is, but thats because its been like a year

since i played

but its something over 20 iirc

its good

[left mantle]

Like gimme this shit, this is enough for me

[restive bear]

I use Copycat as my main build but it doesn't really do well in high diff

[zealous depot]

Poe2 taking over again

[restive bear]

Idk I stopped playing Pd2 to care about what's wrong with it

[left mantle]

What's onslaught?>What's Skill Speed?>What are attacks?>What is physical damage?

[restive bear]

All I know Copycat is a general purpose build

Or deck rather

[left mantle]

It's because poe1 doesn't do this either.

Because it's old as shit

[quiet abyss]

true!

[quiet abyss]

mfw i tried playing fo1, no guide lmao

i just pieced it together

[noble basin]

more health coded id say

[restive bear]

Other game I play with builds stuff is Warframe but knowing the nature of that game, you can still not even put so much effort in a build and you can still engage in end game content lol

[green granite]

https://tenor.com/view/arknights-arknights-endfield-tangtang-laughing-endfield-gif-5642023641123831227

[restive bear]

Like without even knowing the ins and out of the game

[left mantle]

Like there is a lot of good QOL in poe2, and that right there is one of them.

[noble basin]

headshots heal and below 50% health gives immunity but it seems a bit of a weak perk derk

[noble basin]

wf builds

[thick plover]

FOUND ER

[left mantle]

If someone wants to engage deeper into buildcrafting in poe2, they don't explicitly need to go to an external site to know what keyword means what. Now item affixes is an entirely different story

[proven tundra]

You found the Elden Ring?

[thick plover]

got a shotgun from her

this game fucking rocks

Now go play deadlock

You must

The matchmaking needs a victim

[thick plover]

maybe going guns blazing is a horrid idea

[zealous depot]

But

Its funni

[left mantle]

unrelated, should you want it i'll let you fly the mk 2 aurora if they include it in a game package tomorrow @marsh cargo to you too

[zealous depot]

You usually arent on by the time I get home if I remember right

[left mantle]

I mean when do you get home

11?

[zealous depot]

11:10 pm CST

[left mantle]

oh then sometimes i'm on

[zealous depot]

[left mantle]

depends when my first meeting the next day is

"How early do I gotta wake up to lock in"

[zealous depot]

Gonna get done with my job just to jump into my next job 'mining'

[left mantle]

Man I love the musical swell in the aurora vid after the reveal

[zealous depot]

I just remembered I haven't even played the engineering update yet

[left mantle]

Pedro a real one

[zealous depot]

I'm not gonna have some fun learning

[left mantle]

eh, it's not gonna be as painful a learning process as you think

[marsh cargo]

[left mantle]

As long as you don't do the minmax shit people were doing before you'll have a slow burn introduction

[zealous depot]

Gonna crash the aurora just to watch uno's hope fade away

[left mantle]

What can I say, modern RSI is peak

[left mantle]

I'll just file a claim

But I'll melt my syulen game package for the aurora. It's always been rough because the syulen is like...just more than most recent starters have been

So no golem or salvation purchase in sight for a nice 1 seater

[marsh cargo]

i really want to like the syulen but
its the syulen

[left mantle]

I love it

It's just the C1 really does what I'd need from it.

And I want something a bit more...traditional to fly around

I just want to do some low flying in a nice starter and the aurora mk2 looks to fill that niche and also as a bunker runner

[marsh cargo]

whats the expedite going to look like ?

[left mantle]

Dunno yet

It wasn't in the RC1 files

And RC2 hasn't shipped yet

But it's a starter so don't expect it to be too long

Like even the nomad is only a 1:19

Longest starter expedite is 1:30

So I expect the expedite to be about 1:05 to 1:15

[last fern]

I said i wouldn’t spend no more money on the steam sale

technically this counts

not on steam

but god damn I am now in a financial situation due to IL-2 Sturmovik but I’m having too much fun

[rocky turtle]

[proven kelp]

In light of recent events

[rocky turtle]

[untold spear]

are endings bad or do people just dislike endings

i'm not sure if someone ever said " the ending is so good "

[proven kelp]

Part 1 ending was excellent

Part 2 uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh

[untold spear]

aot = bad ending

mha = bad ending

got = bad ending

[proven kelp]

Part 1 would break the shit ending curse that most shounen anime experience

linus torvalds

https://klipy.com/gifs/oh-the-misery-enemy-1

[untold spear]

at least he could've said something controversial like

" computer should be only used for professional purposes "

but nah

[copper vapor]

how would he say that when he mentioned he's a gamer

ofc the guy who helped invent computers as a way to make a person's life easier and better doesn't like how things are nowadays

that's only to be expected

go ask terry davis if you want controversial opinions for the sake of being controversial and nothing else

it's merely requesting reinforcements

soon you'll have turbo sora

[sand canopy]

All these realistic looking ai videos

[marsh cargo]

1# source of fake videos made with AI

[sand canopy]

All of them were due to Sora

[untold spear]

now on your nvidia graphics card!

[copper vapor]

was an app to generate AI videos

[hexed stag]

ohh

right

[untold spear]

not only that

[marsh cargo]

https://klipy.com/gifs/shrek-ai

[untold spear]

it was actually market as being good at it

[sand canopy]

They cannot physically sustain themselves

And this is proving it

[untold spear]

though that's a given at this point

[sand canopy]

No matter how good they will be, there is no physical way for them to be profitable

It will always be a money drain

[marsh cargo]

so is youtube
or twitch
or xbox

[sand canopy]

Not only that, but the better the videos get, the MORE money they will be draining

[untold spear]

dunno about that

[marsh cargo]

twitch has not made a profit in over 6 years

youtube is just a drain for google

same as xbox for microslop

the epic game store has also not made a profit since it opened

[untold spear]

yet they're still running

curious

[marsh cargo]

because there are companies out there with money to burn

EGS is 100% funded by fornite

[hexed stag]

they probly just retired it similarly to how Epstein was retired bc they have something better now (Palantir)

[left mantle]

The issue is that the company that owns sora, doesn't make any money to burn with its main products

[untold spear]

so are you saying that certain companies have agendas that go beyond making money?

[marsh cargo]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader

[hexed stag]

obviously

money is only a tool

[untold spear]

so it's not unprofitable?

yo'ure giving me mixed signals

[marsh cargo]

ok tldr in zoomer terms

[copper vapor]

they run it at a loss because they make money from other things

[marsh cargo]

EGS is willing to burn money if it means taking a crack at steam

[copper vapor]

aka Epic giving away free games and suing apple and whatever

because they got fornite making money for them

so they can do their crazy shit

[marsh cargo]

the strategy is super long term

sell REALLY cheap ppl will become regualrs

like how TEMU took exploded

[thin bobcat]

A loss leader only works if you have something worthwhile at your company to sustain the loss leader but that's the issue with OpenAI, the entire infrastructure is basically one big loss leader

[marsh cargo]

yeah thats the difference here

they had nothing else

EGS has fornite

[left mantle]

OpenAI makes no actual money

[marsh cargo]

xbox has microsoft
twitch has google

[left mantle]

And it just lost a major investor

[untold spear]

a loss leader with a lot of 401ks attached to it

[copper vapor]

google owns twitch? I thought that was amazon

[thin bobcat]

And what makes it even worse, they're not anchored, they do not have a backbone, they are literally just "The AI Company making ChatGPT", that is their entire thing.

Gemini has Google,
Grok / xAI has Twitter, SpaceX and Tesla
Anthropics somehow has a bunch of retards licking the foundation to make sure it's stable

[marsh cargo]

its also in hand that OpenAi is mostly in for the research
and doing development is generally just a money sink

[left mantle]

youtube is google is what i assume sparta meant

[marsh cargo]

Amazon
mb

[copper vapor]

[thin bobcat]

Ah yeah, Meta with llama

[hexed stag]

I suspect that all the AI business that's availableto the public is a global/globalist R&D project for creating some kind of a unified super AI that everything could plug into

[copper vapor]

menstrual runoff bullets

[copper vapor]

AM

[hexed stag]

not to mention other strings attached

[hexed stag]

?

[untold spear]

don't think it makes much sense

if you want something to be smart, you are not giving it to the public

you are locking it with geniuses

this is particularlu problematic considering that you left it to the internet

so 80%-90% of it's info is porn

[hexed stag]

how much of its power and abilies you give out to whom is a different matter

[thin bobcat]

If I had to guess, AI Companies are just vehicles to drive up the valuation of the infrastructure companies like Oracle, Nvidia, Microslop and so on, shilling each investor round until it eventually goes public, they sell their shares and eventually the entire thing crumbles but they now have inflated valuations through contracts that the AI Companies can't really carry and made a big buck because the AI Companies are now public, they can now get rid of their shares in the first round

[copper vapor]

porn and memes

[untold spear]

mostly porn

[copper vapor]

it would also be hilarious if they actually managed to create an AGI and it went "uh no y'all's current business model is not good for society so you need to stop"

[thin bobcat]

We're actively feeding the AI Models synthetic data because they ran out of human produced and clean data to train on, we're just going to get more and more retarded AI models now instead of AGI lmao

[untold spear]

don't step on snek i guess

[thick plover]

The fact chatgpt now hallucinates almost 50% of the time is quite funny

[left mantle]

I think it's insanely hilarious that fucking dumbass mcgee over at NVIDIA even remotely thought we were close to AGI

[thick plover]

Micron is trying to boost companies with self driving cars into being mainstream

Cause theyre gonna need like 300 GB of dram for them to work properly

Which mean money

[thin bobcat]

Micron is probably the one that will have the worst time of them all, they left the consumer market entirely, thinking this cycle of AI funding is indefinite lmao

[untold spear]

oh nein

[thick plover]

kill everyone

[untold spear]

please don't do this

[thick plover]

They apparently peaked profits

The higher ups dont care

[thin bobcat]

Sure they did because we're in the middle of still expanding the AI training operations

[copper vapor]

for now

[thick plover]

Oh also epic games laid off 1000 people

[thin bobcat]

Once that slows down even by 10%, their profits will reflect that

[left mantle]

It's already starting to fray at the edges

[thin bobcat]

Even Nvidia wasn't retarded enough to leave the consumer market entirely

[thick plover]

Idk

[thin bobcat]

And that should mean something

[thick plover]

I think openAI might go public

[hexed stag]

I think it's bigger than that. The rise of electronic computing was to solve problems that were already getting too complex and severe (or thinking about it got too tiresome), because the human brain can't get bigger due to anatomical reasons and we haven't found a way to make it more complex. Therefore humanity started to build a brain outside the body

[thick plover]

Thats why they took down sora

Cause it isnt profitable

[copper vapor]

do you think EVGA stopped making GPUs a few years ago because they saw this coming?

[thick plover]

Yes

[thin bobcat]

Therefore we created a technology that is getting more stupid as you train it on more information that could or could not come from itself?

[thick plover]

Many people are already onto that

And pretty sure there was a ex evga employee or something along those lines that said it too

[thin bobcat]

You're giving those companies way too much credit

[marsh cargo]

nah it ended because nvidia are too much profit cutting

[left mantle]

Pretty much sounded like NVIDIA made the whole fucking process for them worth nothing.

[thick plover]

Thats chatgpt doe

[left mantle]

That's a lot of the GenAI

[thin bobcat]

That's all of them, they all share the same exact technology

[thick plover]

Apparently claud or whatever its name is, is way better

[thin bobcat]

Well, if you filter your dataset properly, the result will be better but the main issue is that we're running out of human created information and training an AI model on it's own output can lead to heavier hallucination

[thick plover]

I mean surely there will be one company that accounts for this

[hexed stag]

I mean you could say that the very first cars were quite dumb...
Whatever their methods are, they are still trying to improve it

[thin bobcat]

Not a good example because nothing really changed about cars

[thick plover]

They are going backwards now

Subscriptions for bullshit in car

[left mantle]

Cars went forwards, not progressively backwards.

[thin bobcat]

Sure, they have gotten more comfortable, more efficient, faster but fundamentally, nothing changed

[hexed stag]

The AIs are pretty dreamful and imaginative in how they work (produce results), which I find interesting

[left mantle]

Now it's going backwards

[thick plover]

You need to pay 99.99 a month for it go go forward

Sorry

[left mantle]

It took literal century for it to go backwards for cars

AI hasn't even left infancy and it's going backwards

[thin bobcat]

Technically, it's just a median with whatever highest confidence and some temperature value that acts as a randomisation allowance

You can do cool stuff with it

Definitely but that's not how it's used for the most part

[marsh cargo]

i need this meme but in reverse

[quiet abyss]

@marsh cargo who the fuck is this clown

[marsh cargo]

as if i would know

[quiet abyss]

bad crop babyy

aanyways, why does kruber yell about taal? who the hell is that

and for what purpose is he yelling about him

[marsh cargo]

taal is a god

[quiet abyss]

ok and?

[marsh cargo]

kruber is a follower of taal

[quiet abyss]

whats special about him?

does he reach high things for kruber or smth

who is he

what is his purpose

[marsh cargo]

god of nature and animals

[quiet abyss]

ok, so what does that have to do with war and killing

[marsh cargo]

violence ofc

[quiet abyss]

also is that why kerillian kinda likes kruber?

[left mantle]

nature is always at war

[marsh cargo]

^

[quiet abyss]

ok but answer that question

[copper vapor]

[quiet abyss]

also i remember smth about kruber having a special bond with taal or smth

[marsh cargo]

no thats because
1 hes actually nice to talk to
2 secretly a bretonian

[quiet abyss]

idk i was just reading a chat from 2 nerds

[quiet abyss]

but i feel like nature god patronage would make him more likeable

because wood elves like trees or smth

[marsh cargo]

kinda just because kerilia is a wood elf that doesnt mean they like ALL nature

they like this ONE forest they live in

everything else can fuck off

[quiet abyss]

i mean she yaps about morning rain, so nature

surely

[marsh cargo]

yeah

in her forest

that one particual forest

[quiet abyss]

new headcanon is thats partially why she tolerates him more

[quiet abyss]

good to know that HUMAN farm in the middle of nowhere is in HER forest

yeah i dont see no fuckin trees dawg

like 4

[marsh cargo]

taal doesnt mean forest either

taal is a human god to begin with

[quiet abyss]

nature counts forests

[marsh cargo]

yeah but its like

nature

animals

HUNTING

[quiet abyss]

nature = plant/animal

flora and fauna

aka, tree

aka, forest

[marsh cargo]

thats litterally his second class

a hunter

[quiet abyss]

mhm and its sadly mid D:

anyways, tree = nature, taal = nature, elf likes nature, therefore natural predisposition to tolerate kruber a lil more

[marsh cargo]

you are simplifying too much
