The worst part of feeling lonely is when you start considering the idea of putting a short skirt on and try to get a client on a street corner to pay for a night of kimochi.

Singapore Airlines considers piloting 'flights to nowhere' to boost business: report
>In the spirit of a traditional travel, each flight to nowhere would allegedly take about three hours. >The COVID-19 crisis has hit the travel industry hard, inspiring the flag-carrying airline of Singapore to allegedly ponder piloting “no destination” flights for domestic passengers
>Singapore Airlines is not the first airline to operate such “flights to nowhere”. Taipei-based EVA Air, operated a special “Hello Kitty”-themed flight to otherwise-grounded Taiwanese aviation enthusiasts on local Father’s Day last month. It featured a multi-course gourmet meal from three-Michelin-starred chef Motokazu Nakamura.

Well which do you prefer plenty of space, comfier seats or the tiny amount of space you have in modern airplanes
even if you havn't done the former, you cna easily go "huh i can actually move al ittle and the corridors are larger to walk in and they aren't packed to the brim with people" and so on

Eizouken is directed by Yuasa, the director of Ping Pong. It's an adaptation of a manga, though honestly the more of his stuff is an adaptation, the better.

>>874464 Most of the really important Fortran stuff used today was actually written between 30 and 40 years ago and this book is supposed to be good for learning Fortran. It was also very influential, this was what inspired all those illustrated/comic guides/textbooks to serious topics. >>874466 Physicists still use Fortran.
If your interest is in learning fortran for the sake of learning fortran I guess getting an old book that's good for learning it makes sense but surely you don't expect to get any mileage out of that information right? There'd be little meaning in learning it to do something productive

4k switch...
Anno
I feel they'd have to have a booster in the dock to make it be able to play 4K games. Maybe that's what Nintendo will do, release a Switch dock that lets it play higher resolutions.
I think that might help them dodge the new3DS issue and not force people to buy more if they don't need the extra power.
i wonder how nintendo managed to flub this usually they would give something like this a lot of attention and hard work
Anno
Maybe they got swamped by the Covid-19 issues and had to cut corners. I mean a 35th anniversary is still a weird anniversary to celebrate but it's still way less weird than a 36th year anniversary. If they didn't get it out now they probably wouldn't do anything until at least the 40th anniversary in five years.

Hot and seiso
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

If you're not addicted to a substance, but you drink or etc. in your free time and like any proper job, you don't show up to work drunk or high, they probably would be fine with that.

i don't really get it what's the improvement over the ps4
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
the games look almost the same!
Anno
>>874771 Probably because we're still only seeing games developed for PS4 standards. I dunno I also don't think you're gonna get much more than marginal visual improvements in consoles until some super-tech breakthrough happens. Consoles are just too difficult to cram the hardware for serious improvements into without the pricepoint going way to high even if they keep selling at a loss.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's a delayed release though. I'd assume Squeenix's longtime best friends status with Playstation still holds.
>>874775 Yeah, I think this is the real productivity drain of the pandemic rearing its head. The console manufacturers totally wanted some BIG games to be ready for this holiday release. But no one's able to seriously crunch on games right now. So we're only really getting stuff that was announced as dual-gen releases like Cyberpunk and AC.

were square enix watching the final season of game of thrones when they made developed this game
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i mean really they should just delay stuff and be honest like "yeah the pandemic slowed everything down" and release when they have a reason to buy
Anno
That's what's happened with all the games hah hah. Like even Halo got delayed to next year. But still gotta get the consoles out in time for Christmas!
right? so why can't fuckin sony and microsoft do it haha
>>874781 who is gonna want the consoles for christmas if they aint got shit!!
rook
you might be underestimating the power of fanboys and ignorant parents
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah i know lots of people will still buy that shit lol but damn it's underwhelming
Anno
That's also probably why SONY and Microsoft are pushing the stuff like Gamepass and all the games you can play while being subscribed to PS+ They know by now there'll be a shortage of games to play on the consoles so they're pushing the subscription services to give people reasons to use their consoles until games start coming in.
i wonder if they're regretting the no /// lack of backwards compat for PS5 if they would let you play ps1-3 games then that would probably have a lot of pull for people that got into gaming later in their lives just fuckin give everyone metal gear solid again for christmas
Anno
The PS4/5 and PS1-3 are funadamentally incompatible systems though, due to an infrastructure change they did when they made the PS4. To play PS1-3 games on it, they'd effectively have to either provide an emulator you could run on the PS5 (probably not that hard honestly), or remaster the games to be compatible with the PS5, like what Microsoft did to enable backwards compatibility with original Xbox games on the Xbox One.
Yeah, I doubt an emulator is that hard. In fact, they already have one. There are PS3 games available on PS4 via the PS Now program. So they must have an emulator or something, right? It's just very few games and over the past few years they got rid of a lot of them.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Actually, they still have a shit ton of PS3 games available now that I look at it.
Anno
Honestly the thing that makes me the most pissy about next-gen consoles is that it's a HUNDRED DOLLARS to add a disc drive. A good disc drive costs like fifty dollars TOPS
I was gonna stay late at work to do some notes... But my stomach is hurtin real bad. I'm too hungry. I can't concentrate! Maybe I can stay late tomorrow to catch up.

rowling is apparently in a lot of trouble with her new book people are really starting to hate her even some of the actors from harry potter are comin out against her although some are defending her too
FormerRei@mobile
Are there backstabs in it? What about invasions?
Anno
In what might the best defense of her book, the villain character doesn't seem to actually be a trans character, and is more in line with the serial killer from Psycho. BUT BUT Considering her views on trans people and how aggressive she's been in butting heads with them. It's a really bad faith argument to say she didn't do this to at least somewhat villify people of non-cis identities.
FormerRei@mobile
Yeah I've heard he's cis and just dresses as a woman to disguise himself. Although she's still a terf lol
I still occasionally think about how she claimed she's not antisemitic for having a race of money-grubbing goblins that just happen to perfectly depict stereotypes against Jews that have been used for a long time by saying there's a (one) Jewish student at Hogwarts and his name is Goldstein or Goldberg or something
FormerRei@mobile
Astro Terf
FormerRei@mobile
If Rowling starts writing scifi I'll call her an astroterf.
Means it's gonna be like around 100 CAD after tax up here...
I think at the least CD Projekt RED is rejecting that MRSP and is sticking with the current one for Cyberpunk regardless of console though.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
yeah $70 for a standard edition game is just... unreasonable why
Anno
Probably because there's a presumed price creep. AAA titles were like 50 USD for PS3/360, then they started selling them at 60 USD for the PS4/XB1 So of course it's only normal that the next generation will sell at 70 USD Totally normal
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\

if we're getting pc DeS does that open hope for pc Bloodborne
FormerRei@mobile
It's fucking bullshit Bluray discs cost like $0.05

yeah i dont think the cost of the bluray disk is where the price of the game comes from
the rumor was that they were releasing bloodborne remastered for PS5 and that it would also release on PC according to those "leaks" it was already nearing completion and being playtested
in other words since it wasn't announced today, it's pretty clear those rumors aren't true one of the biggest games of the last 5 years getting remastered for your console with no games isn't something you hold back especially if it's already done
Anno
The Maze Rumour
PANrela
bloodborne 2 but this time it's a switch exclusive
That's gonna create some problems. Though at the least the Series S is entirely digital, so they can probably prevent people from buying games that won't work on it. Still, means you're gonna have to choose if you want the budget console and get exactly what you're paying for -- a budget console.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
it'll probably lead to a lot of resentment though especially if they don't make it very clear that series s can't play some games
Anno
I'd bet Microsoft will push for any exclusives to be compatible with both options though. Or provide different versions if the compatibility is too impossible. It'll only be stuff like DMC that's third-party that they won't be able to force a less intensive version of.
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
what a mess good thing my switch library is future proof what's that im getting some news now-
Anno
NIntendo's said in the past they intend to support the Switch for the extent of its lifespan. They got burned a bit with the stuff around the new3DS so I think they'd probably play it safer with any midlife crisises for the Switch.
... How does that kind of mistake even happen Like there had to be some incoming information that wires got crossed on to make the mistake. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING SONYYYY
Anno
Kinda funny that both the PS4 and PS5 are going to be releasing on few notable reasons to get it right off the bat. And one of the main driving reasons for both is a FromSoft game.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh ina is really excited about the new final fantasy
The devs are the people behind Dishonored and their Austin studio made Prey which was a -fantastic- game in my books. So I'm definitely fine with getting another game from them, especially if they do some timeloop shit too. Plus this second trailer seemed to be hinting that you'll be rewarded for executing creative tricks like messing with that one guy's invention to get him and the other target in close proximity with each other. Dishonored and Prey both had "we give you multiple solutions to the problems you encounter" and it looks like they're keeping that up for Deathloop too.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Haven't played Prey, but the Dishonored games are pretty great, so I'll be watching the updates on this one
Anno
Prey was really good, would recommend. It's got some weird alien stuff to it too, kinda like a less grotesque alien horror and more just weird horror.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>While the game does allow the player to use stealth and related abilities as in Dishonored to move quietly, Deathloop does not allow for non-lethal takedowns of non-player characters, as Arkane recognized the choice of killing or subduing enemies had weighed down players in Dishonored. weighed down players?
Anno
Likely something along the lines of how if you were going for a non-lethal takedown and fucked up, you'd have to either checkpoint reset or run away and wait for the environment to reset itself so you could return to trying a non-lethal takedown. I can definitely remember frustrating stages in Dishonored 2 where I fucked my stealth up and since I was trying to be pacifist I was REALLY disadvantaging myself when I had to start running away from like a dozen cops.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
hmm yeah >The game features a multiplayer aspect in which the player can alternatively take the role of Julianna, an agent tasked to protect the time loop and take out Colt. When the player takes this role, they will enter a random player's game and may interfere with their play. this sounds pretty fun
Anno
As long as they make sure it's not the same Julianna hunting you each loop. I bet there's gonna be some people that are really good at the game that will basically make the Colt player's life miserable if they can just keep picking off the same Colt. Though I guess if the Colt player gets frustrated they could just go offline. But that's not really a "good" solution to the problem.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Yeah, it'll probably be a new Julianna every time you kill her. Or when the loop resets.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>The Julianne character has a similar range of abilities, many of these closer to the Prey abilities such as being able to mimic any character in the game, including Colt, and thus interfere through activities such as drawing the player away from the real target with her mimicry or by posing as a duplicate Colt in front of one of the targets to cause confusion that way.[1] oh man this has potential for some seriously mean stuff
Anno
I wonder how robust their enemy AI will be for handling stuff like that. It sounds like they want it to be smart enough to be "confused" when there's two Colts it's seeing.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
>While current artificial intelligence (AI) in video games can lead to believable behavior, AI tends to lack surprising actions. This led to bringing in second online player to control Julianne as to randomly affect the player's game, itself something Arkane had explored in their unreleased title The Crossing.[1] hmm
Anno
At the least I'm assuming if you're not interested in the multiplayer aspect you can just play the game as a single-player. It would be pretty disappointing if it was a multiplayer only experience.

Is the oriignal doushio dev here?
FormerRei@mobile
No
FormerRei@mobile
yes For the record though, te current version of meguca is not forked from doushio, it was completely rewritten from scratch in go instead of js.
Even less of a reason to get a PS5! Makes sense though if the Miles game is basically a standalone DLC running on the same engine as the first Spider-Man game.
That's some real cyberpunk shit Who needs synthetic drugs when you can have synthetic highs

i am going to be the killjoy and say it's probably not a totally legit thing trance-like states are pretty well observed and are only possible in extremely specific situations
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
even if you had electrodes in your brain ??
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
oh i missed that part lol yeah with electrodes in the brain you can even literally shut off someone's consciousness
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
one please
Anno
I have one brain cell and I am not afraid to use it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_chocolate I didn't know this ruby chocolate was a relatively recent invention. It tastes so much like red velvet that I thought it was just where that flavour was derived from. Still this is some tasty chocolate.

step 1. "yeah i'm just gonna wing it, measuring everclear for this drink" step 2. "oh fuck" step 3. "oh FUCK"
lel spent 20 minutes looking at a live broadcast of a hiking trail to see if my pop popped up in it amusingly found him at the exact time he sent a picture of the spot with him clearly in "taking a picture" pose
Where are the anime girls doing the high level pvm content, hmm? these guys are all just wandering lost around lumbridge talking to the chat
It's almost as if they've figured out that the game is a hotbed of lonely losers and a potentially lucrative market instead of playing for the merits of the game itself
>>875094 I was only in the room for about 30 seconds before Nope-ing out but some guy was asking in the chat which world she was on presumably to find her and give her items
a thing that happened today >mailslot goes flap >wussit? >"notice: we will be coming to fix damage caused during changing of balcony/terrace doors" >uuh... wat? >eyes windows and lack of terrace >if I have a terrace i didn't know about, why do i not have a door leading to it >wait maybe they fucked up something major and there is damage on the walls? >inspection time, inside nope, outside nope >call construction boss "fug this" >"wrong appartment, ignore" >kay
>>875114 Oh wow. that is amazing haha! >>875116 That is the best advert. Everywhere should do this. Did you go to the vietnamese restaurant! >>875117 Yep!
Oh wow I didn't realize it was a direct rendition of an actual screenshot >>875115 I didn't, but if I go there again I might pop my head in It's like, next to the job I was interviewing for, but I'm on the waiting list so basically I'm in if one of the new employees drop out or something Which might happen, but I'm still annoyed cause it seemed to go so well
I'm already like, locked in as the one they're gonna call if one of the people who actually got it are like, bad at it or something The interview went super well, or at least seemed to as far as I could tell
Heck yeah, I hope they do call you If you haven't heard from them for a while call them after a while and inquire about it, don't let business forget about. >>875122 Yeah! sometimes business just forget or are badly organised. I don't think any business i've called to get an update have ever taken it badly, it is actually something a lot of people do but for a lot of me including me it is nerve wracking or it feels like being too pushy or anxiety causing.
I'll give it like, a few weeks, then I'm calling to hear how it's looking, yeah I think when it comes to this kinda job, there's a very high bar for what's like "too aggressive" when it comes to calling them again
Yeah I don't like calling just to see, even though it's dumb cause the worst I can get is a "no", and then I'll never have to interact with them again anyway
I work in a fuckin' grocery store now and we get 30 minutes of break time per day When I worked a factory job tho, breaks were... frequent and long Motherfuckers would sit outside in the smokeshed and go through 2-3 cigarettes over the course of a break, and we had those breaks like... every hour-half an hour Paid, too, cause it wasn't like a BREAK break, but a "the machine is doing its thing and we just have to wait now" break
Electromagnetic Kannagi
Working at a bank I'd get a break at very limited opportunities it'd be all monitored and you'd have to have a timer for going to the bathroom and anything. it was horrible. I left that job and got a lot at a warehouse doing dataentry and was fairly good. it was a reasonable break time and we could have time to do things including going for a cig.
Uni is just haphazard, I'll usually get early and have a cig with everyone that smokes in the class but people kept mooching cigs off me.
Jesus christ Even my current job doesn't actually monitor our break time, even though the system for checking in and stuff does have that as a feature, boss just doesn't feel like using it And bathroom breaks aren't counted
If I end up actually getting this job I might even just quit smoking and swap to snus entirely Fucks up your gums tho But it's just a fucking stream of nicotine, without the need to leave your seat or anything
I tried it as a goof at work, figured I might as well see what this shit is, and I was fucking WIRED Though, that rush usually stops existing after you've been doing it for a while But it owned
It's also nearly an hour's drive from where I live, which honestly just gives me an excuse to drive and listen to music Though I'd probably end up moving But I don't wanna live in that fcking city, it sucks so much, Lillehammer is like, at a 45 degree angle THe whole fucking city is angled It fucking blows to drive in, there's streets that LOOK like they're pedestrian-only, it's hell >>875135 Oh right, doesn't it interfere with the grill pills?
I just smoke as a cope for anxiety although technically I shouldn't smoke on my medication. I did think gum or whatever
>>875134 It doesn;t interfere so much as it increases risk of blod clots not that smoking doesn't already do a lot to increase risks. >>875134 45 degree angle city sounds kinda interesting tho, I live in a hill area where it is constantly going up and down steep hills to get to my departments or anywhere really. It is actually pretty good exercise. one of the hills here is even called cardiac hill for how steep it is.
S C
I bought a pack of nicotine gum like, a few months back Only ever took 3 of the like... 50? in the pack
I actually haven't walked to the store more than once since I got a car, and I only walked then cause I was like, half-way to wasted I needed cigs, and snacks, but I couldn't drive It's not actually far tho
I haven't learnt how to drive so I have to walk or bus but since the pandemic I've been Hikkomori modo. I've barely gone out just basically to get food.
And just today my local area has gone into lockdown again because cases are rising so there now curfews again.
The thing i miss most about commuting to work was getting on a train every morning early and late at night on the way home. it was kinda peaceful watching the scenery go by and all the lights of cities at night from the train.
S C
Oh yeah, I actually really like late shifts cause I get to drive at night It's both like, extremely aesthetic and there's nobody else on the road so you can fucking give it
Electromagnetic Kannagi
Yeah I love night time landscapes. they are such a pleasing aesthetic to me. I've been getting up pretty early and going out late into fields doing nerd amateur satellite and radio stuff lately and it is fun watching the landscape changes as it goes from darkness to light or light to darkness
I might end up keeping this spotify subscription just for the song radio thing "Hey music program, I like this track, give me more similar to it" is a feature you kinda need to pay someone with an AI to get, anyway
Well, you could probably manage to make it happen via some sorta peer 2 peer, free software of some kind >>875145 Yeah but only shuffle and also ads I'd rather just dump my music in a folder if the alternative is ads
Nintendo did a fifteen minute partner Direct today. And then immediately afterwards did ANOTHER fifteen minute Direct to elaborate further on the new Monster Hunter game coming to Switch. They're really expecting it to be big. I mean they should expect it to be big in Japan; Monster Hunter games literally drive console sales over there. But to do the same for the English audience means they're probably hoping the World buzz is gonna push more people to pick up the Switch game.
Electromagnetic Kannagi
Oh do they have the directs up on youtube?
Anno
Yeah they stream them live and then put the archive up. I think they ran a few hours earlier today.
Anno
I mean I guess "stream them live" is a misnomer since it's all pre-recorded just aired live.
Electromagnetic Kannagi
ah yeah found them!
Anno
Oh right I totally could've just linked it. Whoops.
>>875159 It sure isn't a hard fight but for some reason I just always find it such a satisfying hunt to go on. Makes for a great early-game intro hunt to the feel of the game.
rook
it was my go-to when I wanted to try weapons and styles I wasn't familiar with in generations the deviant version was actually pretty dangerous too
Anno
It was also great since for GU they brought back the Portable 3rd stage it frequents so you got the boppin' battle music for that stage instead of the kinda dull generic Fanged Beast battle music. >>>/watch?v=u3fF0PMvoO8
this morning this delusional client told me he gives girls his number telepathically but they never call him so i said "maybe they want you to do it the old fashioned way" and he goes "with a pendulum?"
Anno
Did he assume "old-fashioned" telepathy to be hypnosis or something
worse do you remember Urara? it's one of the pendulums they used for fortune telling in that anime that would point in the direction they were supposed to go
Anno
Well I remember the divination tool yeah. But I don't really see how it's supposed to impart phone numbers unto unsuspecting girls.
>>875166 Yeah, I have no idea. I think he misunderstood, maybe. He seemed to think I meant meeting girls. He said he met his first "match" using his pendulum.
I don't think my 4:00 client is gonna show up, but I don't want to start working on paperwork yet because it's still possible... But then I won't be able to do paperwork in that time until like 4:15 in case they just show up late... Mou!
Naisu! I've got some rice and some curry from Tuesday
i haven't played it, I've heard it's actually not that good But Ina is fun to watch and she has relaxing vibes so it's a good way to end a day
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
im gonna try and run an Among Us sesh tonight with some ex coworkers idk if this will be any good or a shitshow do i need anything special besides the game and a discord
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
i don't think so i don't know if you even need discord technically
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
ina was so happy that she started crying on stream such a good girl
It's almost as if people want the security of having a disc drive. Though it also doubles as a BD player so it does mean you don't have to spend money on one of those if you get a disc drive version.
Ultimately though this is why it's so annoying that the disc drive version is a hundred dollars more. They could make it probably any extra amount of money over the digital version and the people would still overwhelmingly choose the disc drive one.
Guess it just goes to show how much hardware has yet to improve. >>875208 Well yeah, but that's what Crysis has always done. They deliberately set the upper limit for the games as impossible to graphically sustain as possible. Which is why even modern benchmarks still use Crysis games as demonstration tools.
It's not as big a deal as it sounds because you can just play the game on settings a normal FPS would employ and you'll probably get decently-good frames while playing. The point of being ludicrous like this is to give benchmarkers something to play with.
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
actually reading the article, it's because they do unlimited draw distance and no pop up assets, no LoD changes it's literally just designed to be unrunable at highest settings lol wtf
Samu /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
lol the "destroy my rig" setting
Kirara 🍄 /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
apparently the setting is called "can it run crysis mode"
Anno
Yeah, I remember hearing about it a while back. The devs have been upfront about it being a reference to the meme.
>>875220 Yes I know I was clarifying 40k because "love can bloom" is a relatively well known (within the 40k community) fanfiction inspired by that quite *quote
I do not know this warhammer forty thousand please elaborate
FormerRei@mobile
>>875223 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not because I've swen you genuinely not know things that people (whether in general or within the circles we run in) would be expected to know. *seen
FormerRei@mobile
>"In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, there is only war." Set in the seemingly never-ending year 999 of the 41st Millennium, Humanity, now united under the Imperium of Man, will go to any ends to protect itself from an endless tide of enemies, including the onslaught of time itself
tl;dr there are a bunch of factions fighting for control of the galaxy and they're all horrible in different ways Except for the Necrons in earlier editions because they did nothing wrong.
>>875227 They have some redeeming qualities At least the imperium of man, tau, eldar, orks and I guess the Necrons have redeeming qualities.
FormerRei@mobile
But it's very grimdark. Although you might not know what that means because the word literally comes from "in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium there is only war".
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Surely it's not some sort of overly edgy setting where there are cults that use catapulted infants as paint to plaster their sinister religious symbols onto the houses of the innocent
FormerRei@mobile
>>875231 I'm only 99% sure it doesn't have that. But the entire point of the edginess was that around the time it was made there was nothing like it
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Wait are you telling me that PK exaggerated the cults of the 40k universe at me oh no that's not good
FormerRei@mobile
>>875233 I would ask him. Also in the future I will just call you a dumbass instead of giving you the benefit of the doubt and explaining something to you.
