Valve loses their appeal in Australian federal court, must pay $3 Million Dollars in penalties for misleading customers on their rights to refund purchases.
Is Bright hollywood trying to approach racism and police violence, but in the end justifying racism or something? Cause that is what I'm just assuming by the trailer
Kirara 🕎
everyone is racist against orcs because they sided with the dark lord 2000 years ago and the lapd gets it's first orc cop and everyone is racist towards him but the racism pretty much gets completely ignored after the first half of the movie the second half is will smith and the orc running away from evil elves (jews) trying to get a magic wand so they can resurrect the dark lord
no it's bourgeois because only like 1 in a million humans can use magic wands and tons of the filthy jews/elves that are rich and run the world can use them
sk
Yeah but what do they use them for generally?
Kirara 🕎

>>371863 man i remember watching season one way back in the day and I'm like "has anyone seen this shit it's really weird" and everyone had never heard of it, and those that did thought it was terribad and then i never thought about it again until i heard season 3 had just came out a year or so ago and it's fucking huge
Kirara 🕎
oh i watched that show you rec'd season 1 at least peaky blinders
Anno
oh nice did you enjoy it it's pretty gritty aesthetics with all the dust and grainy cinematography but man cilian murphy is so sexy

beginning and end were really engaging but the middle was a little dry but the setting and production value was amazing good actors, good cinematography ill probably check out s2 pretty soon

oh man i forgot about that that's barely scratching the surface woop enjoy the rabbit hole
Anno
wait yeah it was season one cuz they gotta get the horse
Yeah, it looks like Lucina will be in this tempest too. I'm guessing the 40% units will be Lucina, Freddy, Nowi, and Chrom. Which is kinda odd but whatever. It works!
Well, Christmas Tharja is pretty good. I'll consider rolling for her. We'll see what them aps are like and how hard that tempest will be to grind, I guess.
>>371889 I did 99999 on a 20% unit in one of the tempests, but it was a good bit more work. That tempest had decent maps too. Some of them have maps that require attention or your units iwll get themselves killed. That one where Julia was the last boss was a good example, it had several maps in it that autobattle was just terrible at. I would have hated to do tha t one on 20%.
Yeah, true. Leveling armored units sucks so I hope I don't need to get one of those Christmas units. >>371890 Aren't you a bit old to develop astigmatism?
>>371892 is it an age thing? maybe it's just intraocular pressure or something but i'm getting split vision on my right eye like just a little afterimage of whatever i'm looking at offset by a bit
>>371909 The way I do it, is stick tanky units in the choke points in the bottom left where you start. I take their weapons away from them. And then let Jakob kill everything with the assistance of a dancer.
FormerRei@mobile
This fucking couch sucks. I bet the secretary will bitch if I put up my legs without touching any of tthe furniture with my feet.
>>371910 I used to do that. Now I just put one person in and throw it on auto and let it do everything for me. I put in an Amelia with her weakest weapon and skills disabled to help make sure Jakob doesn't get stuck like that again and he's getting like 70% of the SP from the map per run so that's good enough for me.
FormerRei@mobile
Fuck If I'd known id be stuck at a doctor's office I would've just taken the bus home.
>>371915 Obviously it doesn't work for everyone, but.
I've been doing it with Nowi throughout the week. Nowi, Ninian, and Azura; Ninian and Azura without weapons. They usually die by the end but it speeds things up a bit. Can't do that with Jakob, though, or they'll help Amelia kill stuff before Jakob can or kill things themselves if I give them weapons.
For Tharja, people are recommending blade tome, but I can't help but think owl would be better for Arena if you're using an armor team there. Because blade can't be upgraded, and you can get an additional 5 to Tharja's BST with the owl tome upgrades.
>>371971 Yeah. I dunno which is worse. Living in a society slowly deteriorating into a Police state or having to spend Christmas writing a 2500 word essay about it

>>372022 Those types of displays are usually caused by missiles and rockets fired at night. The rocket gets up there so high that the trail is illuminated by the sun, even though it's night on the ground.
>>372026 It only happens a little past dusk. It happens when the sun is shining up in the atmosphere but not on the ground.
Kirara 🕎
they're saying it's a spaceX rocket but i've seen thousands of rocket launches and i know what they look like and that doesn't look like any rocket i've ever seen
Kirara 🕎
>>372025 i've seen rocket launches at all different times including a little past dusk
>>372027 You wouldn't see it though. You live on the Atlantic. They fire rockets over the Atlantic, away from the direction that the sun sets. On the west coast, the fire rockets over the Pacific, towards the sun.
have you guys seriously never seen those before? they're using them to defume the air because of the fires they do it in colorado all the time lol idk just makin shit up
>>372030 I don't think that's quite right. Even firing them over the Atlantic, I should be able to see that effect. After all, people in Arizona and people in LA can see it at the same time right now. If you can see it from LA and Arizona at the same time, I'd be able to see it from Florida. Moreover, the effect started three minutes after launch, so I'd definitely be able to see it.
>>372039 The window is way smaller on your side though, because the rockets travel around the curvature of the Earth away from the sun on your side. That's totally what's going on in that video, you can even see the rocket tip at the start of it.
Look at the triangle at the tip of the thing. There's even an obvious rocket trail on the end of it.
>>>372039 (You) The window is way smaller on your side though, because the rockets travel around the curvature of the Earth away from the sun on your side. oops
>>>>372039 (You) The window is way smaller on your side though, because the rockets travel around the curvature of the Earth away from the sun on your side. i'm going to kill myself
>The window is way smaller on your side though, because the rockets travel around the curvature of the Earth away from the sun on your side.
>>372049 You're right, I don't think that parts makes sense. I don't think you'd see it on the Atlantic side at all. This is what people are seeing. The rocket is launched in the dark but it flies up to the light.
>>372058 It's still going away from the sun even in the morning though. Oh, I guess the argument would be that the sun lights it up beyond the horizon. hm, I wonder if you would be able to see it.
I would say that the difference is probably because the rocket flying west is chasing the sun, but the rocket flying east is flying toward the sun. I bet the window of opportunity for something like this to happen is way wider when going west.
Something like this happened like three months ago or something with some military rockets. I don't think it's too uncommon, but normies freak out the second something unexpected happens.
Also this is bit odd thing to ponder, but is it weird of me as a younger brother to side with Cooler against Frieza in DBZ, with him being the older bro? He is a lot cooler and well is just more dominating character

It is physically. literally. empirically impossible to get more work done today
My mom apparently ran into some girl I went to elementary school with today and she wanted to catch up with me. But my mom didn't get her contact information? so she's probably making stuff up I don't remember the person at all and she only gave me a first name
>>372143 That's true, but if I really did know this person, it wouldn't hurt to catch up with them. I obviously wouldn't be interested in anything more than catching up.
>>372150 not to be contrarian but what's the value in this it's something i simply can't relate to ever wanting to do personally if i were to catch up with someone, i'd probably enjoy the activity itself, but it'd be so disruptive to my balance that i'd feel uncomfortable it's kind of intense and intimidating to meet people i haven't seen in forever
Everyone always thought I was going to end up being a dead-end loser when I was young because I was violent and got bad grades because of my ADHD being treated poorly.
So I like to see people from back then and shove my successes in their faces and be smug and shit.
Anno
>you can shove your successes in my feces any time kirara-kun
I guess you could say doing it would be a form of self-care. Because it'd power up my ego.
Anno
>>372154 i'm not big on ego but i think i can understand that i'd probably rather prove my worth to people i feel abandoned me in pursuit of redemption than those that never cared for pride, the latter of which i'm indefinitely blanketing because i dont know it but different foundations for different folks i guess
She must be fake, though. I doubt this person is real. I only have a vague feeling that someone with her name existed, and I feel like it'd be a little weird for someone from that long ago to recognize my mother who doesn't look like she did back then at all. And my mom couldn't have possibly recognized her after like 14 years. It's kind of a ridiculous situation. I don't think it's real.
>>372164 I don't know. Don't you think it seems very unlikely? How could it have possible come to pass that either of them recognized each other? Even if that happened, it'd be weird for someone I don't remember to remember me well enough to want to catch up with me.
Maria
>Kirara goes to meet her >it's his mum in a wig with a fake accent
>>372167 Well, it's certainly strange. Old people don't look that different from like 10 years ago, so maybe she recognized your mom and approached her.
What motive would your mom have for making something like that up?
It must have been like 13-19 years, somewhere there. I don't know what grades I knew this person in.
And even if I did know this person, and she wanted to meet up with me, and they really did meet, my mom was excited to text me about seeing this person and telling me she wanted to catch up. Yet she didn't get the girl's contact information? Isn't that suspicious?
My mom told me where she apparently works and was like "you can go find her" That's so suspicious.
I'm sure there is, but there's no reason to assume that you or I would be able to figure it out. This is my mom, after all. She's a compulsive liar and spins tall tales and exaggerates stuff all the time.
Plus she doesn't like my girlfriend, so maybe she's trying to mess with that. And >>372183 is likely, too.
Anno
the motive and goal is to fuck with you
Anno
>Pays a prostitute to pretend to be someone from your elementary school to try and seduce you away from your girlfriend It's like poetry. Really shitty poetry.

idk what that tri-rail is "rifle is fine" is just a slavaboo meme if my gun had a side-rail on it I would absolutely use a side-rail mount because it's much cheaper and kind of better but alas, it is not so easy, esp with a milled receiver i'm between the dog-leg and a gas tube cover rail but the dog-leg seems well worth the price difference heat and all

>>372297 >>372286 what's the actual difference between normal and premium
>>372298 it depends on the gun sometimes the premium ammo is HEAT rounds on a tank that only has HE and AP available HEAT are like AP (Armor Piercing) rounds that still explode when they penetrate (HE is High Explosive, which explode on contact, penetration or not) usually the penetration value is worse than an AP so you have to hit weaker, flatter spots, but the damage payoff can be very good in game terms it means that critical hits can be more critical sometimes the premium ammo is just a bigger HE round than the normal one and these ones are just direct upgrades but those are not common sometimes it's special AP ammo that pierces better but deflects more easily it's all really different depending on the tank and the gun there's a few more round types i didn't even mention

I've had people unexpectedly grab my chest before and it's really uncomfortable. I don't know why but it just feels so violated in a sort of vague way.
I'd be kind of upset about it.
unlimited bangarang
i mean like, i wouldn't really care and to be honest it's whatever if it doesn't get brought up i'm thinking it was just an awkward and bad attempt at a playful joke or something i just don't get it is all there didn't seem to be any kind of reason and she kinda squeezed too
A lot of unsuccessful flirting ends up as bad attempts at playful jokes.

Both my parents didn't get grey hairs until their late-forties. Though my mother didn't get any until her mid-fifties a couple years back. So I'm probably good for another few decades before I have to worry about any of that.

By that point I could probably just bioscience my way into having a healthy head of hair anyway.
All my siblings were born with some kind of blonde hair. My brother's was almost naturally platinum blonde when he was really young. Mine has been pretty much the same dark brown since I was born, but apparently right when I was born I had frosted tips.

It's not right now the biggest problem But it's only gonna get worse and worse And the price going up keeps it going, because there's more money to be made using more power >>372465 Not nearly as quickly Dude it's using a country's worth of power now, it's like 5 years old
Anno
And energy production will also improve with efficiency as time goes on.
And this is also assuming that the aggressive trend of cryptocurriencies is going to continue for an extended period of time. Which I doubt.
>>372465 Well yeah if it pops then it's not a problem
But this can't go on
Anno
I don't even mean in terms of an outright pop and collapse. I just don't believe that the pace of expansion as it is right now is indicative of a long-term trend.
Anno
>>372466 Cryptocurrency mining is a very power intensive operation.
Well the problem is that the expansion isn't just "more people doing the thing" If that was the case, it would slow down and just become, you know, one more thing that's killing our homerock
But it's not The increase in power consumption is hardcoded, the system STOPS if it doesn't continue
>The skyrocketing value of Bitcoin is leading to soaring energy consumption. According to one widely cited website that tracks the subject, the Bitcoin network is consuming power at an annual rate of 32TWh—about as much as Denmark. By the site's calculations, each Bitcoin transaction consumes 250kWh, enough to power homes for nine days.
Yeah, it's using a lot
Anno
The key factor here is that literally anyone with the money to invest in a device for Bitcoin mining can participate. Hell, even a n average PC can participate, though to do so would be incredibly ineffective. So it's not like this is some activity reserved for a very select fraction of the human race and nationhoods, or something that requires the resources of a complex institution such as a government.
Maria
The practical concern is that this is electricity that could be used for practical things like running cars, factories, or whatever and instead it's being used to produce currency Which wouldn't be so bad if C02 didn't exist I think if bitcoin miners had to pay for their own emissions it wouldn't be so much of a problem
Anno
Or just not being generated and avoiding incoming stress.
This isn't really what we were focusing in on; I think everyone here can agree that -if- cryptocurrency mining is as power intensive as the studies claim, that's not a good thing.
Anno
>>372474 The logistical implementation of that is beyond impossible. There's no reasonable means of tracking who is mining cryptocurrency without infringing into privacy.
>>372474 It'd just jack up the price of bitcoins and tighten in the portion of humanity financially capable of doing it It'd go from a thing on the side to corporate shit
Which i'm not saying makes it worse, because I don't care WHO is doing it But it's not a solution
Maria
>>372477 The point is that it'd force people to compensate for their own emissions
>>372480 The power is simply the cost of electricity. The extra money they pay on the emissions would go towards things like government investment in clean energy and carbon offsetting
Anno
And what he's saying is the effect of that would reduce the people who can mine cryptocurrency. As the necessary costs for something increase, the tendency for the production of that thing to be the domain of corporate production also increases.
>>372478 But they already DO that They pay for the power
It's already not free PAYING for emissions doesn't DO something
sk 🖤
Like what, are we gonna fucking bribe the ozon layer?
sk 🖤
I'd rather it just be illegal tbh It's just digital gold with no real purpose anymore
Anno
But ultimately, I ask again. What is a logical implementation for the determining of who is mining cryptocurrency.
Maria
>>372483 Now that's where it's difficult Since it'd be easy to disguise Increadibly If you wanted to go really extreme you could implement a tax on ALL carbon emissions Australia did that I think. I can't remeber if Tony repealed it before it was put in place though so I dunno how well it worked out
Anno
It's beyond difficult, it's impossible under current legal considerations.

Force ISPs to stop anything dealing with the blockchain, I dunno
Anno
I mean I guess that would be possible in countries without net neutrality. But I don't think that's a better world to live in, honestly.
I really don't see why the state couldn't both force net neutrality AND give a list of specific things that aren't allowed It's not a violation of net neutrality to tell ISPs to block child porn or something, that's ridiculous
The FCC passed its vote to repeal the regulations that created it. This now has to go through some of the chambers of legislation that I'm not going to accurately remember because I'm not American, who could potentially shoot it down. Something like fifteen or so states are also suing the FCC or someone over this as well, which will bog down and complicate the procedure, but I think this doesn't inherently stop the repealing if it survives the legislative gauntlet.
And ultimately states that are interested in keeping net neutrality are already likely plotting workarounds which would force ISPs in the state to adhere to a semblance of net neutrality.
AND on top of that, this is only net neutrality in America. If it really heads to a worse-case scenario, what might be interesting is seeing if industry that benefits from net neutrality ends up fleeing the country for better waters (like north to Canada, which at about the time the FCC was voting on the repeal, further reinforced net neutrality).

There's a lot of heart to the game. The combat gameplay is a lot of fun too; each major encounter is a totally different experience from the next so it never really feels like you're looping on the same activity for too long.
>>372506 Yeah I really liked how the dummy ghost had the player use its own attacks against it NL is playing pacifist mode Which seems to be the 'intended' way, but maybe violent route is equally interesting
Anno
In terms of ease of access, the "intended" way would be Pacifist -> True Pacifist -> Genocide But you'd also have be a fair bit of a heartless sob for to go and kill everything after saving everything previously.
Also it does a thing where after you finish it, the second playthrough the flower at the start pokes at you for restarting the game and starting the suffering all over again, right? >>372511 I thought it would just be another RPG
>>372510 oh I thought you were gonna say something like "the fanbase made it look bad"
Anno
>>372510 On my first playthrough I killed Flowey at the end of it all because it was all his fault things went horrible. So at the start of the second playthrough he wasn't there at all.
>>372512 I did avoid it for a while because of the fanbase But I don't have that sorta mindset much anymore
Anno
The rabid fanbase is exhausting, in all fairness. There's let's players that just outright refuse to play the game because the fans swarm at the slightest opportunity they see to get the player to play Undertale and flood them with demands and requests to play it.
All fanbases are like that Well, fanbases for novel things
Maria
Some fanbases are worse than others Some fanbases are more chill than others But really letting a fanbase impact your private enjoyment of something is stupid
>>372519 You could probably try isolate certain elements Like I bet games with waifu appeal get more dedicated fanbases because people literally fall in love with those characters
There isn't really any rhyme or reason for why one fanbase becomes rabid and horde-like. Any method you can think of to determine it will have plenty of exceptions. What happens is simply a collection of the right things at the right time in the right place.
>>372517 I'm not only talking about dedication though. I mean this fervent obsession with bringing the word of their Lord and Saviour. [Insert whatever piece of media or object they obsess over here] to everyone and everything that dares give them half an ear or a moment's attention.
>>372519 This is a very good question. I think if you're really into something you want to share it with more people. If a piece of work has lots of twists then I think a fanbase would want to see new streamers and stuff watch/play it so they can see their first time reactions.
Anno
I don't necessarily agree that wanting to share a passion is a component of being really into something. A mandatory one, at least. And I take particular issue with the extended concept of how much you want to spread the focus of your passion correlating with how passionate you are.
Anno
dunder tale was a cool rpg
Anno
killing everybody was kind of boring compared to the other routes though wish there was more varied enemies or less grinding involved i don't think its even really worth the effort for 2 fun bosses
Anno
I'm pretty self-convinced having the genocide route being easy and straightforward was an intentional design.
Anno
i just think it was probably done last and a vestigial attachment to an already finished game
Anno
I can't agree. I know people might say >>372524 this might be giving him too much credit or making too much out of a video game, but I feel it follows with the trend of the game generally trying to be more than just a game, and that >>372525 this is giving too little credit.
Anno
if it's intentionally a slog or not i would have preferred more enemy and boss variety
Anno
I've been chewing through the Primitive Technology YouTube channel tonight. A lot of the stuff he does is actually pretty neat and kind of gets me interested. But at the same time I hate getting dirty and muddy and that's sort of a requisite of the hobby. And I don't live in a part of the world where enduring the elements is the most enjoyable.
It'd be interesting if more games, instead of these like, branching story paths and stuff in response to player choices, mucked with the gameplay itself Be more aggressive, and enemies respond by either refusing to let you flee, using stronger attacks, traveling in groups Stuff like this Small stuff that isn't the story itself changing
Anno
Some of those things do kind of show up in some form or fashion.
