hi, it looks like I missed some politics

@RadvylfPrograms I mean now you've given me a challenge, time to name Klein 1.0.0 "Pneumothorax Percolating Pickled Pachyderm"

(with a combining accent mark so the "P" in "Pneumothorax" is pronounced and not silent)

@Ginger "some" is quite an understatement :p

lyxal

> zero to gain from your organs being donated

~~how do you know~~

nothing a few under-the-table black market deals can't fix :p

Radvylf Programs

I hear you can get special apple-flavored spray for your organs. Doctors can't touch the stuff, but it doesn't harm the recipients of the organs

It also promotes the harvest-your-own model, which is better for consumer freedom

Well y'all will be happy to know I have moved on and found a different mousepad

It's not a gaming mousepad, just a non-G logitech one, but logitech's not a bad company, it doesn't look ugly, and it seems to have moderately high build quality

Maybe I can acquire a mousepad company when I get older

I will need to own a tech company anyway, to get my dream of a spinning platter M.2 HDD off the ground

"Performance unlike anything available today"
"Technology never before seen"
"Shocking reliability and price-per-capacity"

I'm pretty sure you could get possibly tens of gigabytes onto a 2280 form factor. Hundreds if you had the R&D budget and experience of someone like Toshiba, who seem to be the top small-HDD-innovators, but I wouldn't have that

Since the stick is long and thin, you'd want a bunch of platters side by side, I calculate 2-4 since you'd want a DRAM or flash cache which would take up some space too

Each of those mini-platters would be the smallest in the world that are commerically available though, so some serious innovation would be needed

Probably a DRAM cache, flash would kind of be cheating

Since a flash chip the size of one of the mini-platter-assemblies would almost certainly hold more than it

Well anyway, good night, I hope no ghosts visit you and show you how horrible some random 11th century capitalist was

i think i just heard the discord connected to voice channel sound in some music i'm listening to and it just made me think
imagine if someone used the se chat ping in music
what would the odds be that someone actually recognizes it

emanresu A

Radvylf made that chat ping synthesiser

Unrelated String

oh shit i totally forgot about that

and also where to find it :P

emanresu A

Me too

Unrelated String

(also for anyone wondering this is where i heard the discord connect)

Ginger

12:42

hey @lyxal

guess what game I just started playing

lyxal

oneshot

Ginger

and you got it in one

I don't know how :p

lyxal

well

two things: 1) I've watched a full playthrough

and 2) you're not the first niko pfp I've seen

Ginger

there's also okie

but they don't show up very often

lyxal

@Ginger that's who I was referring to

Ginger

12:44

I'm going to leave Niko as my PFP until I finish the game and/or get tired of it

besides I think the foka suits them rather well :b

for reference it's an edited version of this image:

which might be close enough even without editing, but I feel like I needed to make the point clear

so have you actually played oneshot?

lyxal

nope

but I watched markiplier play it

Ginger

I also watched a playthrough like a year ago and loved it, so I was waiting until I forgot most of it to play myself

trust me: it's best experienced w/o spoilers

lyxal

yeah, the steam page said something like that

Ginger

also why'd you change your PFP? you're a shell of your former self!

RIMSHOT

lyxal

well you see it's for the festive season

it's Christmas themed

figured I start 3 days early

Ginger

12:50

oh riiiight

eh, I can just give niko a santa hat q:

lyxal

Never Gonna Give You Up by Frank Sinatra

►

it hurts

badly

I hate it

Ginger

> NOTHING BUT THE BEST

lyxal

it's the lyrics of Never Gonna Give You Up to the tune of Fly Me to The Moon

and it's so wrong

in a confusing mashup sort of way

speaking of which

Confushan - The Prophecy Begins | hmnis.

►

all sorts of goofy mashups there

Ginger

@lyxal hey yea this is awful and I hate it

although the photoshopped Frank Astley might be even worse

lyxal

ever wondered what Troublemaker by Olly Murs x Money Game, Pt. 2 by Ren x Fancy by Iggy Azalea ever sounded like?

Ginger

12:57

no, because I have never heard any of those songs

lyxal

@Ginger there's a chance you have without realising it

Ginger

would you happen to have any idea what "OneShot: Aftermath" is? I think it's a fan game but I'm not 100% sure

lyxal

I don't

My knowledge of fan games is mostly deltarune and clone hero

Ginger

> deltarune
> fan game

Nov 24 at 6:31, by Unrelated String

🤔

lyxal

You think fan games are 🤔 worthy for deltarune?

B*tch, there's a whole fan-made route story thing based purely on a dream someone had

Ginger

13:10

oh, I thought you were referring to deltarune as being a fan game (because Clone Hero is a fan game right?)

~~also how could you call someone with this cute of a PFP "B*tch"~~

lyxal

@Ginger clone hero is a fan game, I just happen to prefer calling it CH over GH

Ginger

and therein lies the source of my confusion: you put a game with fan games and a game that is a fan game together in one sentence without any disambiguation and my 16 braincells defaulted to assuming they were the same thing

@lyxal wait what the hell

I didn't read the last part of that message

how
