<2023-01-29T04:43:46.000Z> l33tkr3w: Oh neat this has instant messaging too 
<2023-01-29T04:47:57.000Z> l33tkr3w: Thanks again for the advice and the help
<2023-01-29T04:48:28.000Z> chudbere: Sure thing!
<2023-02-06T07:06:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey how's it going ?
<2023-02-06T07:33:49.000Z> chudbere: Doing okay
<2023-02-06T07:34:00.000Z> chudbere: This is Xerxes on kf right?
<2023-02-06T07:34:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah
<2023-02-06T07:34:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: Use different names for all the websites
<2023-02-06T07:34:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: Except here and Odysee, I used the same for these two
<2023-02-06T07:34:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: I guess
<2023-02-06T07:34:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: How's the duckling doing so far ?
<2023-02-06T07:35:43.000Z> chudbere: Was still alive earlier tonight, seemed to be doing okay. Not letting him have a water dish for more than a few minutes though 
<2023-02-06T07:35:54.000Z> chudbere: Don't want him to get all soaked and chilled
<2023-02-06T07:36:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah they're really fragile atm
<2023-02-06T07:36:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: Gotta keep an eye on them
<2023-02-06T07:36:11.000Z> chudbere: Baby ducks are cute but very good at finding ways to kill themselves
<2023-02-06T07:36:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: Had a similar situation where my mother found a small kitten a few years back
<2023-02-06T07:36:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: And we took her in
<2023-02-06T07:36:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: Couldn't keep her for long but we put it in the bath tub on a large furry carpet
<2023-02-06T07:36:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: And stayed with her constantly
<2023-02-06T07:37:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: Dog was being  jealous and aggressive so we basically locked him in the living room
<2023-02-06T07:37:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'd go check and play with the kitten while my mother stayed with him and vice versa
<2023-02-06T07:37:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: Found her a home eventually tho
<2023-02-06T07:37:36.000Z> l33tkr3w: She's big now
<2023-02-06T07:37:40.000Z> chudbere: Normally I'd like to keep this guy inside but I don't have room for a brooder tub in here anymore, so his tub is in the barn with heat lamps
<2023-02-06T07:38:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: Animals are too precious
<2023-02-06T07:39:17.000Z> chudbere: Absolutely 
<2023-02-06T07:39:46.000Z> chudbere: Hey, so question about KF. Isn't socking against the rules there?
<2023-02-06T07:40:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'd think it is
<2023-02-06T07:40:03.000Z> chudbere: How does this cowboy weirdo keep coming back over and over
<2023-02-06T07:40:05.000Z> l33tkr3w: But it seems to be rarely enforced
<2023-02-06T07:40:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: Idk
<2023-02-06T07:40:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've mostly lurked until this year tbh
<2023-02-06T07:40:30.000Z> chudbere: Same
<2023-02-06T07:41:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: So how'd you end up hosting this ?
<2023-02-06T07:45:34.000Z> chudbere: Had a fun idea, didn't know what the fuck I was getting into, 4 months later we somehow have 3k users 
<2023-02-06T07:45:38.000Z> chudbere: Lol
<2023-02-06T07:46:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've had an interest in setting up peer to peer communications with friends, but they're normie faggots that don't want to inconvenience themselves too much
<2023-02-06T07:47:55.000Z> chudbere: Make a fedi instance for you and them
<2023-02-06T07:48:57.000Z> chudbere: It's actually not too hard if you have a little Unix experience,  which I didn't really but I caught up okay. 
<2023-02-06T07:50:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: See, I don't think the fediverse works per se
<2023-02-06T07:51:03.000Z> l33tkr3w: You still have a central server so to speak
<2023-02-06T07:51:05.000Z> l33tkr3w: that can be taken down
<2023-02-06T07:51:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: The beauty of peer to peer is in that everyone's hosting it
<2023-02-06T07:51:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's a meritocratic method of having content
<2023-02-06T07:51:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: Good content gets hosted more than bad content
<2023-02-06T07:51:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: If that makes sense
<2023-02-06T07:52:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: But I've given up on the idea
<2023-02-06T07:52:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: Of getting anyone to switch
<2023-02-06T07:52:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: They're too entrenched
<2023-02-06T07:53:19.000Z> chudbere: I'd like to hear more about the idea bur I need to get to bed for now
<2023-02-06T07:53:31.000Z> chudbere: Talk tomorrow?
<2023-02-06T07:54:11.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sure
<2023-02-06T07:54:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: Goodnight
<2023-02-06T07:56:05.000Z> chudbere: Goodnight!
<2023-02-06T17:59:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: Heya, how's it going
<2023-02-06T18:05:05.000Z> chudbere: Hey how're you
<2023-02-06T18:17:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: Could be better
<2023-02-06T18:17:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: Could be worse
<2023-02-06T18:17:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: Called in sick at work
<2023-02-06T18:17:50.000Z> l33tkr3w: So it's pretty good
<2023-02-06T18:18:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: Just you know, crippling depression is kind of hampering my enjoyment of my free time anyway
<2023-02-06T18:51:46.000Z> chudbere: sorry I wasn't ignoring you, went out to bring ducky inside
<2023-02-06T18:51:54.000Z> chudbere: came back in, toddler had found the crayons
<2023-02-06T18:52:02.000Z> chudbere: drew on her little couch
<2023-02-06T18:52:14.000Z> chudbere: thank god for Oxy-Clean
<2023-02-06T19:30:01.000Z> chudbere: I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with depression right now, are you seeing anyone for it?
<2023-02-06T22:57:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: Not really, it wouldn't do me much good anyway, though.
<2023-02-06T22:58:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sorry went to sleep
<2023-02-06T23:42:26.000Z> chudbere: no worries, why do you think seeing anyone wouldn't do you good?
<2023-02-06T23:55:49.000Z> l33tkr3w: My condition is a direct consequence of issues that will haunt me for the rest of my life
<2023-02-06T23:56:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: Things you can't get over
<2023-02-06T23:56:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: Things that eat away at your very core as a human being and you will have nightmares about for the rest of your life
<2023-02-06T23:57:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've tried everything conceivable to get past familial abuse, but it just sticks to you
<2023-02-07T00:17:46.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sorry, don't mean for our talks here to turn into psychotherapy sessions
<2023-02-07T00:20:27.000Z> chudbere: hey i'm sorry I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you, 10 milion things going on rn
<2023-02-07T00:20:39.000Z> l33tkr3w: I figured
<2023-02-07T00:20:52.000Z> chudbere: making a fool of someone who is either EsoShaggy or KoP
<2023-02-07T00:21:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: Between keeping up with the Gunt's autism and his follower's autism
<2023-02-07T01:31:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: Anyway how was your day ?
<2023-02-07T01:44:44.000Z> chudbere: Pretty uneventful 
<2023-02-07T01:44:55.000Z> chudbere: Have a funny thread if you wanna see
<2023-02-07T01:45:02.000Z> chudbere: https://chudbuds.lol/@meticore@sneed.social/posts/ASPzruS3AKXHYIysxU
<2023-02-07T01:45:10.000Z> chudbere: Start at this post then go down
<2023-02-07T01:45:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've seen it already
<2023-02-07T01:45:27.000Z> chudbere: Ah okay
<2023-02-07T01:45:37.000Z> chudbere: He ran off, sad
<2023-02-07T01:45:43.000Z> chudbere: I was having fun
<2023-02-07T01:47:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: What's the duckling doing ?
<2023-02-07T01:47:17.000Z> chudbere: Gimme a min and I can take a pic
<2023-02-07T01:49:55.000Z> l33tkr3w: First one's the boy, second's the girl
<2023-02-07T01:50:45.000Z> chudbere: Sleeping in our smaller incubator 
<2023-02-07T01:51:00.000Z> chudbere: Aw, sweet doggos
<2023-02-07T01:51:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: awww she's adorable
<2023-02-07T01:52:37.000Z> chudbere: She got some cuddles earlier
<2023-02-07T01:53:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: Very cute
<2023-02-07T02:03:19.000Z> l33tkr3w: So what're you up to now ?
<2023-02-07T02:13:04.000Z> chudbere: Had to clean up some crayon our toddler just drew on her little child size couch
<2023-02-07T02:13:13.000Z> chudbere: Again.
<2023-02-07T02:13:18.000Z> chudbere: Second time today
<2023-02-07T02:13:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sounds like you have a little artist
<2023-02-07T02:13:50.000Z> chudbere: We are now initiating a living room wide hunt for any more crayons she has hidden lol
<2023-02-07T02:18:44.000Z> l33tkr3w: Makes sense, yeah
<2023-02-07T23:51:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey there
<2023-02-08T00:05:47.000Z> chudbere: sup
<2023-02-08T00:06:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: Trying to generate some crazy images
<2023-02-08T00:06:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: But the AI is cucking me out
<2023-02-08T00:06:42.000Z> chudbere: that requires quite a bit of GPU and memory doesn't it
<2023-02-08T00:06:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: Oh yeah
<2023-02-08T00:06:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: I can generate images
<2023-02-08T00:07:05.000Z> l33tkr3w: My GPU isn't the greatest nor is my RAM
<2023-02-08T00:07:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: But I can get it working
<2023-02-08T00:07:18.000Z> chudbere: my husband tried setting it up on his but his GPU is only 4GB VRAM so he couldn't make anything bigger than 320x320
<2023-02-08T00:07:29.000Z> chudbere: which isn't really anything useable for his purposes
<2023-02-08T00:07:45.000Z> chudbere: he was thinking of using Stable Diffusion to help generate backgrounds for his comic
<2023-02-08T00:07:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah 4GB vram is literally nothing for it
<2023-02-08T00:08:05.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm at literally at the minimum
<2023-02-08T00:08:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: with 8 GB of VRAM
<2023-02-08T00:08:11.000Z> chudbere: i built his PC last year when GPU prices were through the roof
<2023-02-08T00:08:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: I bought mine prebuilt for 770 dollars in August last year
<2023-02-08T00:08:28.000Z> chudbere: so we only got him like a GTX 1750 i think
<2023-02-08T00:08:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: What's the other specs
<2023-02-08T00:08:46.000Z> chudbere: prob will try to upgrade him to a 3090 or something soon
<2023-02-08T00:08:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: You might get away with using the CPU
<2023-02-08T00:09:22.000Z> chudbere: Ryzen 7 5800X
<2023-02-08T00:09:34.000Z> chudbere: 32GB DDR4
<2023-02-08T00:09:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: Oh wow
<2023-02-08T00:09:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: That GPU bottleneck yeah
<2023-02-08T00:10:13.000Z> chudbere: I wanted to put a 3070 in it initially, but couldn't find one at a good price last year
<2023-02-08T00:10:17.000Z> chudbere: settled
<2023-02-08T00:10:50.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've got 16 gigs of RAM, an i3-10100F and an AMD RX 6600 XT
<2023-02-08T00:11:03.000Z> chudbere: so yeah I'll prob get him a good card soon, then take the 1750 out of his and put it in mine
<2023-02-08T00:11:14.000Z> chudbere: I'm running a GTX 1060 lol
<2023-02-08T00:11:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: It may have been better to save on the CPU and RAM 
<2023-02-08T00:11:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: And get a better GPU
<2023-02-08T00:11:27.000Z> chudbere: he doesn't game
<2023-02-08T00:11:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ah
<2023-02-08T00:11:38.000Z> chudbere: really needed something that could handle multithreading well
<2023-02-08T00:11:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: Fair enough
<2023-02-08T00:11:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: To be honest I mostly stick to my childhood games from the late 90s and early 2000s 
<2023-02-08T00:11:57.000Z> chudbere: cause when he's working in photoshop, the files can get pretty massive with all the layers
<2023-02-08T00:12:18.000Z> l33tkr3w:  speaking of Photoshop
<2023-02-08T00:12:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: Fuck Adobe and their software subscription bullshit
<2023-02-08T00:12:45.000Z> chudbere: wait i'm sorry i got the specs on his wrong
<2023-02-08T00:12:51.000Z> chudbere: was looking at the wrong pcpartpicker list
<2023-02-08T00:13:04.000Z> chudbere: he's got a Ryzen 7 3800X and a GTX 1650
<2023-02-08T00:13:14.000Z> chudbere: and 32GB DDR4
<2023-02-08T00:13:26.000Z> chudbere: still a bottleneck but not as much as a 5800X lol
<2023-02-08T00:13:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: The CPU is still better than mine
<2023-02-08T00:13:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: I seethe :(
<2023-02-08T00:14:06.000Z> chudbere: the subscription isn't too bad if you are just paying for photoshop and nothing else
<2023-02-08T00:14:13.000Z> chudbere: I think it's around $10-15 a month
<2023-02-08T00:14:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: you got jewed on the graphics card btw
<2023-02-08T00:14:49.000Z> l33tkr3w: Apparently it's near equivalent to my old card
<2023-02-08T00:14:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: But was significantly more expensive
<2023-02-08T00:15:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: And I'm not talking just crisis price
<2023-02-08T00:15:47.000Z> chudbere: oh yeah, that 1650 was still a retarded price for what it was
<2023-02-08T00:16:06.000Z> chudbere: but it was still the best I wanted to get at the time
<2023-02-08T00:16:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: I had a 1050 TI
<2023-02-08T00:16:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: Which is a little bit under that
<2023-02-08T00:16:18.000Z> chudbere: I think I got it around $300
<2023-02-08T00:16:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: But was much cheaper 
<2023-02-08T00:17:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: I paid around 183$ 
<2023-02-08T00:17:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: For my 1050 TI 
<2023-02-08T00:17:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: Which had 4 gigs of VRAM
<2023-02-08T00:17:23.000Z> chudbere: nice
<2023-02-08T00:17:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: OOOOOF
<2023-02-08T00:17:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: They really ripped you off
<2023-02-08T00:17:40.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sorry
<2023-02-08T00:17:43.000Z> chudbere: yeah maybe I will try to get him a 3 or 4 series card before the end of this year
<2023-02-08T00:17:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: If he wants to fuck around with AI
<2023-02-08T00:17:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah
<2023-02-08T00:17:59.000Z> chudbere: throw the 1650 in my pc
<2023-02-08T00:18:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: Get him a Nvidia card
<2023-02-08T00:18:11.000Z> chudbere: until i can upgrade mine fully or build new probably
<2023-02-08T00:18:11.000Z> l33tkr3w: Cause it's a lot less of a headache
<2023-02-08T00:18:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: I do give you this warning tho
<2023-02-08T00:18:24.000Z> chudbere: yeah I only mess with nvidia cards
<2023-02-08T00:18:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: This technology comes with temptations
<2023-02-08T00:18:46.000Z> chudbere: what, like AI porn lol?
<2023-02-08T00:18:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: A man with this technology can have infinite waifus
<2023-02-08T00:19:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: Or yes porn
<2023-02-08T00:19:29.000Z> chudbere: well, i'm not too worried about that. my husband literally draws big tiddy anime girls for a living lol
<2023-02-08T00:19:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ah
<2023-02-08T00:19:40.000Z> l33tkr3w: So he's already in that
<2023-02-08T00:19:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah I got a drawing tablet to try to learn how to draw
<2023-02-08T00:20:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: I can't draw a straight line
<2023-02-08T00:20:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: And I'm too miserable to keep pushing myself
<2023-02-08T00:20:38.000Z> chudbere: the women are clothed in the comic lol, but he has a patreon where he does NSFW commissions of "pinup" style art 
<2023-02-08T00:21:02.000Z> chudbere: does the tablet have a display on it?
<2023-02-08T00:21:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: Nah
<2023-02-08T00:21:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's a beginner one
<2023-02-08T00:21:19.000Z> chudbere: those are a lot easier to get used to
<2023-02-08T00:21:26.000Z> chudbere: with the display
<2023-02-08T00:21:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: I had the good sense of mind to not throw money like an idiot on a maybe
<2023-02-08T00:21:33.000Z> chudbere: true
<2023-02-08T00:21:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: Cause those get expensive fast
<2023-02-08T00:21:58.000Z> chudbere: yeah they do
<2023-02-08T00:22:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: I only did the first day out of the workweek so far
<2023-02-08T00:22:25.000Z> chudbere: i gotta go finish making dinner and play with babies for a little while before i stream more harry potter tonight
<2023-02-08T00:22:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: called in sick
<2023-02-08T00:22:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sure
<2023-02-08T00:22:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: Take care
<2023-02-08T00:22:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: And have fun
<2023-02-08T00:22:40.000Z> chudbere: hope you get to feeling better soon
<2023-02-08T00:22:43.000Z> chudbere: ttyl 
<2023-02-08T23:14:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey
<2023-02-09T08:36:36.000Z> l33tkr3w: You're up late
<2023-02-09T08:36:44.000Z> l33tkr3w: Everything ok ?
<2023-02-09T15:57:18.000Z> chudbere: Oh yeah just babies were up
<2023-02-09T15:57:35.000Z> chudbere: Went back to sleep right after that
<2023-02-09T22:31:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: What's up
<2023-02-09T22:47:24.000Z> chudbere: hey not much just got kids from school
<2023-02-09T22:47:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ah cool, always seem to forget I'm like 8-10 hours ahead of you guys
<2023-02-09T22:48:21.000Z> chudbere: I hate to tell you this, but Sadge the duckling passed overnight. 
<2023-02-09T22:48:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: :(
<2023-02-09T22:48:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: That's fucking terrible
<2023-02-09T22:48:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: I hope she didn't suffer too much at least
<2023-02-09T22:48:58.000Z> chudbere: not sure why, she was eating and drinking and seemed active enough
<2023-02-09T22:49:19.000Z> chudbere: it happens sometimes, we'll have a duckling pass 3 or 4 days after hatching with no clear indication of why
<2023-02-09T22:50:06.000Z> chudbere: Generally when it happens they just go to sleep and don't wake up
<2023-02-09T22:50:43.000Z> chudbere: And yeah, she was fine in the brooder last night, but had already passed when we were getting kids up for school at 6am
<2023-02-09T22:51:15.000Z> chudbere: So now we have another loner duckling, her buddy that hatched the other night
<2023-02-09T22:51:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: Must've hurt the poor soul too
<2023-02-09T22:52:21.000Z> chudbere: we have another 3 or 4 eggs due to hatch in the next several days
<2023-02-09T22:52:29.000Z> chudbere: so hopefully she'll get some more buddies soon
<2023-02-09T23:00:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm gonna go walk the dog
<2023-02-09T23:00:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: brb
<2023-02-09T23:00:42.000Z> chudbere: okay, I gotta go get some dinner started, I'll be in and out here
<2023-02-09T23:00:44.000Z> chudbere: have a nice walk
<2023-02-09T23:14:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: thanks
<2023-02-09T23:14:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm back now
<2023-02-10T00:33:29.000Z> chudbere: cool, just got done organizing toys and rearranging the living room
<2023-02-10T01:19:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: Doing lots of work, eh ?
<2023-02-10T01:33:18.000Z> chudbere: yeah, our youngest is getting close to walking
<2023-02-10T01:33:41.000Z> chudbere: so we wanted to change things around so she and the 2 year old can go back and forth from the living room down to their room freely
<2023-02-10T01:34:08.000Z> chudbere: then we only need one baby gate to block off the kitchen
<2023-02-10T02:03:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: yup
<2023-02-10T02:04:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: makes sense
<2023-02-10T02:16:44.000Z> chudbere: the babies like it so far
<2023-02-10T02:16:58.000Z> chudbere: they keep going back and forth from the living room to their room
<2023-02-10T02:17:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: They're cruising 
<2023-02-10T02:18:12.000Z> chudbere: the 10 month old is walking along the hallway holding the wall
<2023-02-10T02:18:24.000Z> chudbere: she's gonna be doing it on her own soon
<2023-02-10T02:21:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: My baby cousin stood up at his baby shower
<2023-02-10T02:21:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: And started walking
<2023-02-10T02:26:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: My grandmother got scared 
<2023-02-10T02:26:19.000Z> l33tkr3w: When she saw him get up
<2023-02-10T02:26:58.000Z> chudbere: scared? lol how old was he?
<2023-02-10T02:37:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: Very very young
<2023-02-10T02:37:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: like
<2023-02-10T02:37:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: 1 or 2 months
<2023-02-10T02:37:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: baby showers in orthodox christianity are basically done ASAP
<2023-02-10T02:39:11.000Z> chudbere: That's crazy he walked so early, they can't even hold their heads steady yet at that age
<2023-02-10T02:40:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah he takes after his father
<2023-02-10T02:40:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: a giant of a man
<2023-02-10T03:19:51.000Z> chudbere: Is Ralph still streaming?
<2023-02-10T03:20:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: idk
<2023-02-10T03:20:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: I don't watch that shit
<2023-02-10T03:20:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: Last two times I tried I felt myself getting retarded
<2023-02-10T03:56:24.000Z> chudbere: Lol I guess he did a copyright strike on CringeMommas channel
<2023-02-10T04:46:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: So what're you up to now
<2023-02-10T04:57:58.000Z> chudbere: wrote up a little post about Amanda and Ralph's finances
<2023-02-10T06:27:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: Gotcha
<2023-02-11T03:14:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey Claire
<2023-02-11T03:14:06.000Z> l33tkr3w: Can you answer quickly ?
<2023-02-11T03:18:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: nvm I wound up telling you on the chat
<2023-02-11T03:40:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: I was thinking a bit
<2023-02-11T03:40:31.000Z> chudbere: hey sorry
<2023-02-11T03:40:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: No worries
<2023-02-11T03:40:44.000Z> chudbere: just sat at my computer, I don't always get chat notifications on my phone
<2023-02-11T03:40:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hope the family and the animals are ok
<2023-02-11T03:40:46.000Z> chudbere: what's up
<2023-02-11T03:41:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: Was thinking of an idea that might sound completely retarded
<2023-02-11T03:41:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: A fictional version of the Killstream
<2023-02-11T03:41:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: With someone called Ithan Alf
<2023-02-11T03:41:57.000Z> l33tkr3w: Basically ragepigging at fictional characters
<2023-02-11T03:41:59.000Z> chudbere: yeah we were talking about an AI version last night lol
<2023-02-11T03:42:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah I was there for that
<2023-02-11T03:42:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: You couldn't use the ragepig's voice though
<2023-02-11T03:42:19.000Z> l33tkr3w: He'd sue for sure
<2023-02-11T03:42:36.000Z> chudbere: it's fair use
<2023-02-11T03:42:45.000Z> chudbere: MC Jarbo uses his voice for songs
<2023-02-11T03:42:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: If you train an AI to copy his voice ?
<2023-02-11T03:42:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: It might not quite be the same
<2023-02-11T03:43:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's a very legally grey area 
<2023-02-11T03:43:11.000Z> chudbere: yeah there's a whole thread of AI voice clips of ethan, it definitely can be done
<2023-02-11T03:43:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: Well yeah I know
<2023-02-11T03:43:20.000Z> l33tkr3w: But I mean
<2023-02-11T03:43:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: The legislature doesn't exist to cover fair use if you use someone's voice
<2023-02-11T03:43:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: to make memes/parodies of them
<2023-02-11T03:43:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: By creating an AI clone of it
<2023-02-11T03:43:46.000Z> l33tkr3w: You know
<2023-02-11T03:43:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: As opposed to splicing existing clips
<2023-02-11T03:44:02.000Z> chudbere: i don't think it has been tested in court, but I imagine that it will be very similar to existing laws about art that uses someone's likeness
<2023-02-11T03:44:07.000Z> chudbere: and the precedent there is
<2023-02-11T03:44:38.000Z> chudbere: the artist can do whatever the fuck they want with someone's likeness, unless the subject has established a specific trademark to protect their likeness
<2023-02-11T03:45:21.000Z> chudbere: which would be very hard for someone to get 
<2023-02-11T03:45:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: Then there's also the issue of having to paypig those bastards at elevenlabs for it
<2023-02-11T03:45:59.000Z> chudbere: might just be easier to get someone who can do a passable impression to read whatever script you want to write
<2023-02-11T03:46:14.000Z> chudbere: Randbot's ralph impression is decent
<2023-02-11T03:47:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: Well no I meant more
<2023-02-11T03:47:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: For the other characters
<2023-02-11T03:47:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: I was going to have videogame characters
<2023-02-11T03:47:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: With their voices
<2023-02-11T03:47:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: Interact with the ragepig
<2023-02-11T03:47:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: I suppose that would actually land me in legal trouble if someone wanted to sue, though
<2023-02-11T03:48:16.000Z> chudbere: yeah you would need to be careful about using licensed IPs
<2023-02-11T03:48:23.000Z> chudbere: they can and will go after you for it
<2023-02-11T03:48:36.000Z> chudbere: just look at that old dragonball parody channel 
<2023-02-11T03:49:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: Team Four Star was bullshitting 
<2023-02-11T03:49:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: They didn't stop because of copyright
<2023-02-11T03:49:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: Because they still took the characters and IP and are using it
<2023-02-11T03:49:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: There's a lot of drama behind it
<2023-02-11T03:51:53.000Z> chudbere: yeah but Toei are assholes
<2023-02-11T03:52:24.000Z> chudbere: i had them send takedown notices for perler bead pixel art I made of dbz characters on etsy
<2023-02-11T03:52:53.000Z> chudbere: original designs based on the characters, not straight rips of their art
<2023-02-11T03:55:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: The japs are super autistic about it
<2023-02-11T04:01:08.000Z> chudbere: baby awake g2g
<2023-02-11T04:01:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: take care
<2023-02-11T04:01:21.000Z> chudbere: you should work on a script for your idea
<2023-02-11T04:12:02.000Z> chudbere: Okay back lol, she has a blanket fort and is happy
<2023-02-11T05:06:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: I had to duck out
<2023-02-11T05:06:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: Too disgusting 
<2023-02-11T05:14:11.000Z> chudbere: oh i got preoccupied doing other stuff
<2023-02-11T05:14:25.000Z> chudbere: probably don't want to know lol
<2023-02-11T05:14:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: They started fucking sperging about animal genitals
<2023-02-11T05:14:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: Fucking subhumans
<2023-02-11T05:15:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: ANywya
<2023-02-11T05:15:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: Anyway *
<2023-02-11T05:15:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: I wound up going back to the old AI api that I was using
<2023-02-11T05:15:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: It works a lot better 
<2023-02-11T05:16:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: Pretty nice results too 
<2023-02-11T05:16:19.000Z> chudbere: isn't killing your computer?
<2023-02-11T05:16:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: That was when I tried four images
<2023-02-11T05:16:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: at the same time
<2023-02-11T05:16:39.000Z> chudbere: her face reminds me of avril levigne for some reason
<2023-02-11T05:17:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: You ever played Overwatch ?
<2023-02-11T05:17:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's meant to be Mercy but with like goth makeup 
<2023-02-11T05:18:08.000Z> chudbere: i haven't played OW but I know who mercy is
<2023-02-11T05:18:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: your husband probably did pinup art of her for some commision lol
<2023-02-11T05:18:52.000Z> chudbere: he's done art of her, it wasn't a pinup though
<2023-02-11T05:18:59.000Z> chudbere: i'll see if i can find it
<2023-02-11T05:19:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm gonna try to do Max Payne as a mobster
<2023-02-11T05:19:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: Holy shit Max Payne as a mobster looks pretty fucking psychotic
<2023-02-11T05:21:36.000Z> chudbere: that looks really good
<2023-02-11T05:23:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yup, it's pretty crazy
<2023-02-11T05:24:38.000Z> chudbere: can't find the original file right now, had to grab this off his merch site
<2023-02-11T05:25:57.000Z> l33tkr3w: PC froze
<2023-02-11T05:26:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: AgainFlew close to the sun again
<2023-02-11T05:26:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: tried 704x704
<2023-02-11T05:26:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: gonna take a bit to unfuck
<2023-02-11T05:26:55.000Z> chudbere: uh oh
<2023-02-11T05:27:20.000Z> l33tkr3w: I se it to 50 steps
<2023-02-11T05:27:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: it's about 22 seconds per step
<2023-02-11T05:27:45.000Z> chudbere: lol rip computer
<2023-02-11T05:28:39.000Z> l33tkr3w: I need to know my limits
<2023-02-11T05:31:19.000Z> l33tkr3w: Still a lot less painful tbh
<2023-02-11T05:31:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: Than the one I was previously using
<2023-02-11T05:31:46.000Z> chudbere: that's good
<2023-02-11T05:32:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: If You want I can try to generate a prompt for you once it comes back to life
<2023-02-11T05:32:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: to 512x512 though
<2023-02-11T05:33:31.000Z> chudbere: hmm okay, how about Jill Valentine from resident evil
<2023-02-11T05:39:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: ok my image failed to generate
<2023-02-11T05:39:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm gonna try to generate mine at 512x512
<2023-02-11T05:39:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: But in the meantime
<2023-02-11T05:39:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: What else should the prompt have
<2023-02-11T05:39:36.000Z> l33tkr3w: Just her ?
<2023-02-11T05:40:21.000Z> chudbere: ummmm idk i've never played with these sorts of things before so I don't know what the prompts should be
<2023-02-11T05:40:53.000Z> chudbere: jill valentine, blue police uniform, blue beret, holding a rocket launcher lol
<2023-02-11T05:41:50.000Z> l33tkr3w: Holy shit
<2023-02-11T05:42:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: I first wrote Max Payne as a fascist dictator
<2023-02-11T05:42:18.000Z> chudbere: it does clothes really well
<2023-02-11T05:42:24.000Z> chudbere: the shadowed eyes are spooky
<2023-02-11T05:47:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: Uhhhh
<2023-02-11T05:47:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: Not quite
<2023-02-11T05:48:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: It kind of and kind of didn't get the uniform right
<2023-02-11T05:48:20.000Z> l33tkr3w: One of the eyes is fucked
<2023-02-11T05:48:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: and that's no rocket launcher
<2023-02-11T05:50:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ehhhh ?
<2023-02-11T05:52:18.000Z> chudbere: Can it do it from a picture input?
<2023-02-11T05:52:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: Technically yes, practically
<2023-02-11T05:52:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: I haven't gotten that to work yet
<2023-02-11T05:54:51.000Z> chudbere: Ah okay nvm
<2023-02-11T05:54:55.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah
<2023-02-11T05:54:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: That ain't happening yet
<2023-02-11T05:56:18.000Z> chudbere: No worries
<2023-02-11T05:56:27.000Z> chudbere: I should try to sleep anyway
<2023-02-11T05:56:39.000Z> chudbere: Thanks for giving it a shot
<2023-02-12T06:28:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey Claire
<2023-02-12T06:28:44.000Z> l33tkr3w: You up ?
<2023-02-12T06:50:49.000Z> chudbere: yeah
<2023-02-12T06:50:51.000Z> chudbere: whats up
<2023-02-12T07:03:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: I have image to image set up
<2023-02-12T07:03:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: And inpainting
<2023-02-12T07:04:06.000Z> l33tkr3w: You know this guy, right ?
<2023-02-12T07:04:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: Do you really know him, though ? 
<2023-02-12T07:06:09.000Z> chudbere: wait who is the first guy 
<2023-02-12T07:06:15.000Z> chudbere: i feel bad i don't know that meme
<2023-02-12T07:06:20.000Z> chudbere: the second one is Kuz or whatever
<2023-02-12T07:06:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: no
<2023-02-12T07:06:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's not
<2023-02-12T07:06:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's the same guy
<2023-02-12T07:06:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: As a soviet commissar 
<2023-02-12T07:06:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: https://youtu.be/ULeDlxa3gyc
<2023-02-12T07:07:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: Watch this
<2023-02-12T07:07:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: and you'll get it
<2023-02-12T07:10:16.000Z> chudbere: lol i have never seen that before
<2023-02-12T07:11:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: let me do something for Jill
<2023-02-12T07:19:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: I kind of fucked up
<2023-02-12T07:19:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: The image is too tall
<2023-02-12T07:19:39.000Z> l33tkr3w: And the height isn't large enough
<2023-02-12T07:19:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: so the head and feet got cut off
<2023-02-12T07:21:01.000Z> chudbere: lol well the uniform looks nice!
<2023-02-12T07:21:19.000Z> l33tkr3w: The uniform is from the image
<2023-02-12T07:21:20.000Z> l33tkr3w: unchanged
<2023-02-12T07:21:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: Inpainting is basically where you highlight parts from an existing image
<2023-02-12T07:21:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: And you write the text prompts to replace what you highlighted
<2023-02-12T07:21:46.000Z> l33tkr3w: IN this case I took your Jill image and placed her on the beaches of Normandy
<2023-02-12T07:21:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: It was mant to be WW2 but I guess the AI didn't quite get it properly
<2023-02-12T07:24:37.000Z> chudbere: ohhh i was wondering what the beach was
<2023-02-12T07:24:39.000Z> chudbere: neat!
<2023-02-12T07:27:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: Final picture
<2023-02-12T07:27:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: I put her in a cheerleader's outfit because of course I did
<2023-02-12T07:27:49.000Z> l33tkr3w: if you compare them side by side
<2023-02-12T07:27:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: you can see the element I left in
<2023-02-12T07:28:27.000Z> chudbere: that's hilarious lol
<2023-02-12T07:28:33.000Z> chudbere: Jill as a cheerleader
<2023-02-12T07:28:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: You can tell the modifier respects the original body proportions 
<2023-02-12T07:29:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: and tries to blend in the elements I didn't highlight 
<2023-02-12T07:30:03.000Z> chudbere: yeah that's really neat how smart the AI is
<2023-02-12T20:14:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: sup Claire
<2023-02-12T21:27:00.000Z> chudbere: Not much
<2023-02-12T21:27:13.000Z> chudbere: Just got home and put away groceries 
<2023-02-12T21:28:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: halfway through my shift here, almost
<2023-02-12T21:28:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: can't wait to escape
<2023-02-12T21:30:01.000Z> chudbere: You a sports fan? Watching the superbowl tonight?
<2023-02-12T21:39:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: Nah
<2023-02-12T21:39:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: I just really hate my job
<2023-02-12T21:40:55.000Z> l33tkr3w: I work customer support for Verizon you see
<2023-02-12T21:46:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: that does however explain why things are suddenly so quiet here
<2023-02-12T21:46:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: thank god
<2023-02-12T21:52:10.000Z> chudbere: Customer support can really suck 
<2023-02-12T21:52:28.000Z> chudbere: Hopefully you have an easy rest of your shift 
<2023-02-12T22:02:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: it's pretty nice atm
<2023-02-12T22:02:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: 5-6 minutes between calls
<2023-02-12T22:02:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: get to rest my soul
<2023-02-12T22:03:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: buy anything yum ?
<2023-02-12T22:37:00.000Z> chudbere: bought a lot of stuff 
<2023-02-12T22:37:05.000Z> chudbere: $500+ lol
<2023-02-12T22:37:13.000Z> chudbere: 6 kids eat a lot
<2023-02-12T22:41:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: Don't I know it
<2023-02-12T22:41:05.000Z> l33tkr3w: I have two hairy four legged ones
<2023-02-12T22:41:11.000Z> l33tkr3w: They eat more in one meal than I do in one day
<2023-02-14T05:29:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey
<2023-02-14T05:29:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: How're you doing ?
<2023-02-14T05:29:33.000Z> chudbere: crazy night
<2023-02-14T05:30:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: oh ?
<2023-02-14T05:30:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: Jewsh is a faggot and banned me from the chat
<2023-02-14T05:30:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: So I haven't been keeping up
<2023-02-14T05:34:46.000Z> chudbere: ralph tried to sign up for chudbuds to talk to jim
<2023-02-14T05:34:54.000Z> chudbere: he kept fucking up the captcha and couldn't figure it out
<2023-02-14T05:34:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: OH my god
<2023-02-14T05:34:57.000Z> l33tkr3w: He still wants his internet daddy
<2023-02-14T05:34:59.000Z> chudbere: and then
<2023-02-14T05:35:07.000Z> chudbere: HE TYPED HIS PASSWORD ON STREAM IN CLEARTEXT
<2023-02-14T05:35:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: Lmao
<2023-02-14T05:35:22.000Z> chudbere: and now people are getting into all his accounts
<2023-02-14T05:36:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: Good
<2023-02-14T05:36:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: He deserves worse than that
<2023-02-14T05:37:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: How's the family and the pets ?
<2023-02-14T05:40:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: https://youtu.be/3OV4VaNW4FU
<2023-02-14T05:40:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: also this is funny
<2023-02-14T05:47:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: https://youtu.be/3OV4VaNW4FU
<2023-02-14T05:47:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: watch this
<2023-02-14T05:47:49.000Z> chudbere: will try to in a bit, things are a bit hectic right now
<2023-02-14T05:52:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: everyone posting Ralph's dox or something ?
<2023-02-14T05:52:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: Or things at home are hectic
<2023-02-14T05:54:06.000Z> chudbere: ralph stuff
<2023-02-14T06:12:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: rofl
<2023-02-14T06:12:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: Is he pressing charges against Kinogay
<2023-02-14T06:14:14.000Z> chudbere: he doesn't even seem to know cog did it
<2023-02-14T07:01:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: probably uses the same password
<2023-02-14T07:01:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: everywhere
<2023-02-14T07:22:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: This AI stuff gives some really weird results sometimes
<2023-02-14T14:16:55.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey Claire
<2023-02-14T14:16:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: How's it going
<2023-02-14T14:17:51.000Z> chudbere: Okay, got woken up too early
<2023-02-14T14:18:10.000Z> chudbere: Messing around on phone trying to go back to sleep
<2023-02-14T14:18:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ah, lol
<2023-02-14T14:18:20.000Z> chudbere: Its Not working very well
<2023-02-14T14:18:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: Kids or pets ?
<2023-02-14T14:18:41.000Z> chudbere: Both
<2023-02-14T14:19:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah I feel you
<2023-02-14T14:19:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yesterday I didn't sleep cause i had to go buy groceries and also didn't want to kick my dogs off my bed
<2023-02-14T14:19:36.000Z> l33tkr3w: So I had to ask my boss to shift around my free days
<2023-02-14T14:19:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: I was supposed to have a three day weekend after this workweek
<2023-02-14T14:19:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: But whatever
<2023-02-14T14:20:08.000Z> chudbere: Nice that he was able to move things
<2023-02-14T14:20:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: She can sometimes be a bitch, but she
<2023-02-14T14:20:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: She's been also good in other areas
<2023-02-14T14:22:33.000Z> chudbere: That's good
<2023-02-14T14:23:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: I just want to get out of the corporate field
<2023-02-14T14:23:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: I don't want to live a life of luxury, just make enough money to live a decent life
<2023-02-14T14:23:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's fucking killing my mind and soul
<2023-02-14T14:24:03.000Z> l33tkr3w: Everyone I know that works this job drinks heavily
<2023-02-14T14:24:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: Or is into some other shit
<2023-02-14T14:24:11.000Z> l33tkr3w: To cope with it
<2023-02-14T14:24:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: Before they get burnt out completely 
<2023-02-14T14:32:52.000Z> chudbere: Yeah I did call center work in college
<2023-02-14T14:32:56.000Z> chudbere: It's rough
<2023-02-14T14:33:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: I wanted to get into writing but I'm mired in this fucking shitty depression and this obsessive perfectionism all stemning from years of abuse
<2023-02-14T14:34:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: Nothing I do or make is ever good enough in my mind
<2023-02-14T14:34:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: And I know it's stupid and wrong to think like that
<2023-02-14T14:34:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: Considering the level of trash that's out there and even making it big
<2023-02-14T14:35:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: I think most of us can do better, but we fail because we don't want to put things out there
<2023-02-14T14:35:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: I don't want to call it shame, more like a filter I guess ?
<2023-02-14T14:39:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: You get what I mean
<2023-02-14T14:39:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's a quality filter
<2023-02-14T14:39:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: And I think most people think too harshly of the things they make
<2023-02-14T14:39:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: Which means that people that don't have this "shame" or "filter" get to put the trash out there
<2023-02-14T14:45:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sorry I didn't mean to ramble
<2023-02-14T14:46:10.000Z> chudbere: Hey you're fine just multitasking, was making breakfast 
<2023-02-14T14:46:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ah
<2023-02-14T14:46:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm about to go make myself something to eat too
<2023-02-14T14:46:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: Let me know what you think when you can
<2023-02-14T14:46:48.000Z> chudbere: You should make a profile on fiverr for writing
<2023-02-14T14:47:15.000Z> chudbere: Try to ease into it, do a word rate of like 5 cents a word to get some business 
<2023-02-14T14:47:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: My idea more was to make like an anthology collection online
<2023-02-14T14:47:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: That grows bigger and bigger
<2023-02-14T14:48:03.000Z> l33tkr3w: Set in the same universe, but stories from different perspectives and times
<2023-02-14T14:50:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: that way I can force myself through it
<2023-02-14T14:51:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: I can't lose motivation in the whole thing because I'm keeping it constantly different
<2023-02-14T14:51:28.000Z> chudbere: Try nanowrimo
<2023-02-14T14:51:41.000Z> chudbere: It's a challenge to write 50k words
<2023-02-14T14:52:07.000Z> chudbere: Focus on quantity over quality, don't edit as you go just write 
<2023-02-14T15:18:06.000Z> l33tkr3w: How's the family btw ?
<2023-02-14T15:20:57.000Z> chudbere: Doing good, babies are waking up though so I g2g
<2023-02-14T15:23:36.000Z> chudbere: Ttyl!
<2023-02-14T15:23:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: Good luck
<2023-02-14T15:23:46.000Z> l33tkr3w: take care
<2023-02-15T09:34:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hope you're nowhere near Ohio
<2023-02-15T09:35:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: Retards turned into Chernobyl 
<2023-02-15T18:14:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: ERverything ok there ?
<2023-02-15T18:24:08.000Z> chudbere: hey yes just very busy today
<2023-02-15T18:24:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: Alright
<2023-02-15T18:24:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: Just wanted to make sure
<2023-02-15T18:24:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: That whole Ohio thing is fucking insane
<2023-02-15T18:24:41.000Z> chudbere: yeah no worries, just have a ton to do around the house today
<2023-02-15T18:24:48.000Z> chudbere: and no we're not near ohio
<2023-02-15T18:25:03.000Z> l33tkr3w: New microphone should arrive tomorrow btw
<2023-02-15T18:25:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: Since my headphone one is acting up
<2023-02-15T18:25:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: I figured I might as well just grab a separate mic
<2023-02-15T20:41:36.000Z> chudbere: oh do you use these for your job?
<2023-02-15T22:01:40.000Z> l33tkr3w: nah
<2023-02-15T22:01:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: Well
<2023-02-15T22:01:49.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah but I'm talking about my personal headphones
<2023-02-15T22:01:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: Not the work ones
<2023-02-15T22:02:01.000Z> chudbere: ah okay
<2023-02-15T22:02:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: also I have the proverbial sword of damocles hanging above my head
<2023-02-15T22:02:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: Cause I don't meet their gay targets
<2023-02-15T22:02:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: Fuck this job
<2023-02-15T22:03:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: How's everything going btw ?
<2023-02-16T00:34:57.000Z> chudbere: good, working on an OP for the Ralph leaks
<2023-02-16T00:36:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: I got off work
<2023-02-16T00:36:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: Trying to relax now
<2023-02-16T03:32:33.000Z> chudbere: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/guntgate-the-feb-2023-ralphaleaks.150637/
<2023-02-16T05:28:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey 
<2023-02-16T05:28:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm awake now
<2023-02-16T05:29:20.000Z> chudbere: yo

<2023-02-16T05:48:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: I still can't believe how he fucking did that
<2023-02-16T05:52:50.000Z> chudbere: it's incredible
<2023-02-16T06:05:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: Either way I'm staying away from the thread, I don't want to see the memphis micro
<2023-02-16T06:06:33.000Z> chudbere: there's no dick pics in the thread
<2023-02-16T06:06:49.000Z> chudbere: at least not in the OP or any replies so far
<2023-02-16T06:07:08.000Z> chudbere: I mentioned the dick pic that was shared on twitter but I don't show it in the thread just linked to it
<2023-02-16T06:07:44.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ah
<2023-02-16T06:08:23.000Z> chudbere: g2g take care of a baby who isn't sleeping
<2023-02-16T06:08:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: Take care

<2023-02-17T17:23:24.000Z> chudbere: taking care of kiddos, about to go work on a script for tonight's stream
<2023-02-18T07:17:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: How'd it go ?
<2023-02-18T13:58:52.000Z> chudbere: really well i think
<2023-02-18T14:32:53.000Z> l33tkr3w: That's cool
<2023-02-18T14:33:55.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm about to hit you with nostalgia
<2023-02-18T16:58:58.000Z> chudbere: i can hear the music in my head
<2023-02-19T00:06:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: How're you ?
<2023-02-19T02:45:49.000Z> chudbere: hey, about to go live again
<2023-02-19T07:18:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: I assume it went well
<2023-02-19T12:02:52.000Z> chudbere: hey yes it was a lot of fun
<2023-02-19T12:02:57.000Z> chudbere: hope you're well
<2023-02-19T13:16:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm alright
<2023-02-19T15:34:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: what're you up to ?
<2023-02-19T17:22:33.000Z> chudbere: baby woke up super early but luckily wanted to go back to sleep an hour later so I slept too
<2023-02-19T17:22:38.000Z> chudbere: just got back up
<2023-02-19T17:22:52.000Z> chudbere: about to take one of the kids to a friend's house
<2023-02-19T19:11:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: AH
<2023-02-20T00:16:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ah rather
<2023-02-20T00:16:28.000Z> chudbere: lol
<2023-02-20T00:16:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: I feel like shit
<2023-02-20T00:21:50.000Z> chudbere: sick?
<2023-02-20T00:22:03.000Z> l33tkr3w: That's pretty much a constant with me
<2023-02-20T00:22:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: Constant agonizing pain from bones and joints, fucked up heart
<2023-02-20T00:22:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: Depression 
<2023-02-20T00:22:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: Some days are much worse than others though
<2023-02-20T00:24:42.000Z> chudbere: I'm sorry man, I hope things get better for you
<2023-02-20T00:25:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: Doubtful but thanks
<2023-02-20T00:25:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: I just need to force myself into finding an alternative to this job
<2023-02-20T00:25:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: so i can eke out a living
<2023-02-20T00:25:31.000Z> chudbere: I have to leave to go pick up my son from his friend's house, I will talk to you soon
<2023-02-20T00:25:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: Take care
<2023-02-20T00:25:46.000Z> chudbere: you should, find another job that you will enjoy more
<2023-02-20T00:25:53.000Z> chudbere: or at the very least, hate less
<2023-02-20T08:00:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: I see an autism storm started
<2023-02-20T08:00:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: While I was asleep
<2023-02-20T13:57:02.000Z> chudbere: Yeah I missed it all too
<2023-02-20T21:48:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: How's it going
<2023-02-20T22:13:01.000Z> chudbere: Pretty good, running kids around to practices etc
<2023-02-20T22:53:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: ah
<2023-02-20T22:53:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've got one hour until I finish my shift
<2023-02-20T22:53:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: Can't wait to fucking end
<2023-02-20T22:54:45.000Z> chudbere: freedom will soon be yours!
<2023-02-20T22:55:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: I want the eternal sleep
<2023-02-20T22:55:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: No gun sadly
<2023-02-21T08:33:50.000Z> l33tkr3w: Almost a full hour overtime
<2023-02-21T08:33:57.000Z> l33tkr3w: Trapped in a shitty call
<2023-02-21T08:34:03.000Z> l33tkr3w: At least it was over and I got some sleep finally
<2023-02-21T14:38:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: How're you doing ?
<2023-02-21T14:39:36.000Z> chudbere: Okay, woke up way too early
<2023-02-21T14:40:01.000Z> chudbere: Baby is teething 
<2023-02-21T14:40:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: ah yeah it's a nightmare when that's happening
<2023-02-21T14:40:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: I helped with my baby cousin when he was a toddler 
<2023-02-21T14:44:05.000Z> chudbere: Yeah she's waking up a lot
<2023-02-21T16:43:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: More bitching about targets from this shitty job
<2023-02-21T16:43:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: Why are these fucking cocksuckers putting a sales target on us
<2023-02-21T16:43:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: We're customer support ffs
<2023-02-21T17:15:58.000Z> chudbere: Go get a new job 
<2023-02-21T17:16:30.000Z> l33tkr3w: Last time I tried that
<2023-02-21T17:16:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: I spent three years searching and jobless
<2023-02-21T17:16:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: I went from one call center job
<2023-02-21T17:16:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: to another
<2023-02-21T17:17:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: Between my fucked up heart and this shitty economy, call center jobs are all that's available
<2023-02-21T17:29:28.000Z> chudbere: Idk where you are but jobs are plentiful here since covid ended. They are desperate for employees. You can walk into Taco Bell and get hired at $14 an hour here
<2023-02-21T17:42:32.000Z> l33tkr3w: I got hired last year in march
<2023-02-21T17:42:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: And the lockdowns weren't as pervasive past 2020 here
<2023-02-21T17:46:20.000Z> l33tkr3w: I just don't know what to do anymore
<2023-02-21T17:46:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: Every day I go to sleep hoping that I just won't wake up anymore
<2023-02-21T17:46:39.000Z> chudbere: Have you tried looking lately 
<2023-02-21T17:46:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: yeah
<2023-02-21T17:47:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: I see some of the same jobs I applied for and was refused
<2023-02-21T17:47:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: Still open
<2023-02-21T17:47:20.000Z> l33tkr3w: They can just afford to not give a shit
<2023-02-21T17:47:25.000Z> chudbere: So apply again
<2023-02-21T17:47:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: That or they get some kind of government benefit
<2023-02-21T17:47:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: As long as it looks like they're hiring
<2023-02-21T17:47:44.000Z> l33tkr3w: I have
<2023-02-21T17:47:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: In some of those places
<2023-02-21T17:53:33.000Z> chudbere: I'm sorry but don't know really what other advice I can give you, tbh. You hate your job, you're suicidal and depressed, you need to get a new job and go to a therapist. You should start with the therapy. I hope this doesn't come off as rude or mean, but I am not a counselor and while I feel bad for what you are going through, I cannot help you through it. 
<2023-02-21T17:53:53.000Z> l33tkr3w:  No, no I get that
<2023-02-21T17:53:57.000Z> l33tkr3w: I didn't mean to turn it into that
<2023-02-21T17:54:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sorry
<2023-02-21T17:54:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: Generally I'm better at keeping composure
<2023-02-21T17:55:06.000Z> l33tkr3w: I was thinking of getting some stuff written, I have a few ideas I want to develop
<2023-02-21T17:55:40.000Z> chudbere: It's okay but there's been a lot of what I call "trauma dumping" you have been doing with the talk of not wanting to wake up, it being good you don't own a gun etc
<2023-02-21T17:55:54.000Z> chudbere: And that's really not fair to me
<2023-02-21T17:56:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: I apologize
<2023-02-21T17:56:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: I genuinely didn't mean to
<2023-02-21T17:57:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: Sorry
<2023-02-21T17:57:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: I didn't mean to get into this shit
<2023-02-21T17:57:31.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'll just shut the fuck up about it
<2023-02-21T17:59:13.000Z> chudbere: It's okay I just can't highly suggest more that it would do you a world of good to see a therapist
<2023-02-21T17:59:27.000Z> chudbere: And whatever reasons you have for not going to one are not good enough 
<2023-02-21T18:01:28.000Z> chudbere: I am not mad at you in any way, I just have some experience with a friend who was going through the same stuff and never wanted to take any advice about how to improve her life, so I can't do that again 
<2023-02-21T18:01:48.000Z> chudbere: I'm happy to talk with you about other stuff though 
<2023-02-21T18:03:06.000Z> l33tkr3w: I get it, though the last thing I want to say on the subject is that I am genuinely trying to find an alternative.  CHanging the subject though, I have a few things I want to put on paper, different fictional settings
<2023-02-21T18:03:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: I even have a map of sorts made for one of them
<2023-02-21T18:19:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: do you wanna hear about that ?
<2023-02-21T18:34:02.000Z> chudbere: Sure!
<2023-02-21T18:42:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: It's a sci-fi setting set in the far future, Earth got fucked up and humanity scattered across the stars using sleeper ships
<2023-02-21T18:42:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: Thousands of years later, Earth's history has become myth and legend
<2023-02-21T18:42:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: So you have all these strange cultures and political systems
<2023-02-21T18:42:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: That spring up based on their perception of that poorly understood past
<2023-02-21T18:46:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: There's multiple universes in this setting but there's three main ones
<2023-02-21T18:47:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: One acts as a hub with randoml portals opening to different universes and timelines
<2023-02-21T18:47:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: One's a fantasy world with magic
<2023-02-21T18:47:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: and one's the sci fi universe
<2023-02-21T18:47:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: the hub connects all the universes between each other
<2023-02-21T18:47:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: with the portals
<2023-02-21T18:47:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: but it's constantly shifting and changing
<2023-02-21T18:54:15.000Z> chudbere: Sounds neat and very complicated 
<2023-02-21T18:54:46.000Z> l33tkr3w: The idea of it is rather than having a long winded story
<2023-02-21T18:55:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: I can rather have it serve as a greater setting
<2023-02-21T18:55:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: ANd I can write short stories in it
<2023-02-21T18:55:26.000Z> l33tkr3w: With different genres and perspectives
<2023-02-21T18:55:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: All set in the same universe without breaking the lore of it
<2023-02-21T18:56:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: So you could have a goofy story about a comedy troupe
<2023-02-21T18:56:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: Or a noir story about trying to catch a serial killer
<2023-02-21T18:56:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: Or maybe a war story
<2023-02-21T18:57:05.000Z> chudbere: That could work, have you written anything yet?
<2023-02-21T18:57:20.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've made the map and I have ideas percolating 
<2023-02-21T18:57:25.000Z> l33tkr3w: This all came off the top of my head a while back
<2023-02-21T18:57:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: And I wrote it down
<2023-02-21T18:57:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: So I don't forget
<2023-02-21T18:59:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've been trying to bring myself to develop it
<2023-02-21T18:59:11.000Z> l33tkr3w: But you know what is getting in the way
<2023-02-21T18:59:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: ANd I'm trying to force myself
<2023-02-21T19:00:44.000Z> chudbere: Don't get bogged down in the world building aspect of it
<2023-02-21T19:00:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: But that's actually
<2023-02-21T19:00:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: What got me passionate about it
<2023-02-21T19:01:15.000Z> l33tkr3w: The whole idea sprang because I want to do world building
<2023-02-21T19:01:22.000Z> chudbere: Yes but you can world build forever, that isn't a story
<2023-02-21T19:01:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: And the short story format lets me do that
<2023-02-21T19:01:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: Without bogging down the reader
<2023-02-21T19:01:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: But I can
<2023-02-21T19:01:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: Through the different stories
<2023-02-21T19:01:36.000Z> l33tkr3w: Different things get revealed
<2023-02-21T19:01:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: About the world 
<2023-02-21T19:01:51.000Z> chudbere: Okay my point is have you done any of those stories yet
<2023-02-21T19:02:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: Not yet, but it's not the world building that's been bogging me down
<2023-02-21T19:02:38.000Z> chudbere: Decide on one story, and when you get home from work sit down and write it
<2023-02-21T19:02:46.000Z> chudbere: Commit to 500 words a day
<2023-02-21T19:02:57.000Z> chudbere: Do no self edit as you go along
<2023-02-21T19:03:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: I can do more than that
<2023-02-21T19:03:02.000Z> chudbere: Just write
<2023-02-21T19:03:19.000Z> l33tkr3w: The main issue is this instilled notion that nothing that will be made will be good enough
<2023-02-21T19:03:22.000Z> l33tkr3w: A notion I need to remove from my mind
<2023-02-21T19:03:25.000Z> chudbere: I used to be a writer, stick with 500 to 1000
<2023-02-21T19:03:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: Because I have seen the trash that makes it out there
<2023-02-21T19:03:32.000Z> chudbere: You will burn out
<2023-02-21T19:03:42.000Z> chudbere: Editing can come later
<2023-02-21T19:04:03.000Z> chudbere: Your goal right now is simply to build a habit of writing 
<2023-02-21T19:04:29.000Z> chudbere: 500 to 1000 words a day, write and don't edit. 
<2023-02-21T19:04:49.000Z> chudbere: 1000 words a day for 50 days, you have a novella
<2023-02-21T19:07:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: See, the concept I came up with
<2023-02-21T19:07:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: Will actually help against burnout
<2023-02-21T19:07:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: Because of the shorter story format
<2023-02-21T19:07:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: I can change what I'm writing about
<2023-02-21T19:08:06.000Z> l33tkr3w: To keep myself motivated
<2023-02-21T19:08:18.000Z> l33tkr3w: Rather than falling into the trappings of a specific genre and then getting tired of it
<2023-02-21T19:08:40.000Z> l33tkr3w: So I am going to do 500-1000 words a day
<2023-02-21T19:09:01.000Z> l33tkr3w: But I'm giving myself the creative berth to do whatever while still having it make sense in the grander setting
<2023-02-21T19:09:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: If that makes sense
<2023-02-21T19:10:36.000Z> chudbere: Sure, as long as you are writing every day in a way that tells a story from start to finish
<2023-02-21T19:18:35.000Z> l33tkr3w:  That is the intent, yes
<2023-02-22T00:18:05.000Z> l33tkr3w: Life feels better
<2023-02-22T00:18:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: Good day at work
<2023-02-22T00:18:14.000Z> l33tkr3w: Ate a nice pizza
<2023-02-22T00:18:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: What're you up to
<2023-02-22T00:22:27.000Z> chudbere: eating dinner too
<2023-02-22T00:22:40.000Z> l33tkr3w: ah bon apetite 
<2023-02-23T01:45:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: wtf is going on
<2023-02-23T01:45:44.000Z> l33tkr3w: also hey
<2023-02-23T01:48:32.000Z> chudbere: Lol what do you mean 
<2023-02-23T01:49:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: see a lot of autistic shit flinging 
<2023-02-23T01:53:06.000Z> l33tkr3w: anyway
<2023-02-23T01:53:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: Heard one of your mods got his password hacked
<2023-02-23T01:53:22.000Z> chudbere: Oh yeah lots of sperging tonight
<2023-02-23T01:53:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hope they didn't too much damage to your stuff
<2023-02-23T01:53:31.000Z> chudbere: Yeah Sui
<2023-02-23T01:53:50.000Z> chudbere: No not at all, they only were in his account for 5 minutes
<2023-02-23T01:54:01.000Z> chudbere: They didn't have access to backend stuff 
<2023-02-23T01:54:05.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm trying to recover, was feeling like shit so I called in sick, threw up like a motherfucker and now I'm trying to wind down from that
<2023-02-23T01:54:16.000Z> l33tkr3w: good that they didn't get to do much
<2023-02-23T01:54:24.000Z> chudbere: Just deactivated me and bearbutthole, and changed Sui's display name
<2023-02-23T01:56:23.000Z> l33tkr3w: gotcha
<2023-02-23T01:59:38.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm trying to air out the apartment now
<2023-02-23T01:59:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: hoping it'll help with the nausea
<2023-02-23T02:10:01.000Z> chudbere: I'm sorry you're sick
<2023-02-23T02:10:03.000Z> chudbere: Hopefully the air helps
<2023-02-23T02:10:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: Did I show you my babies
<2023-02-23T02:13:15.000Z> chudbere: No, you have dogs right?
<2023-02-23T02:13:56.000Z> l33tkr3w: Yeah
<2023-02-23T02:13:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: A boy and a girl
<2023-02-23T02:14:45.000Z> chudbere: I bet they are very sweet
<2023-02-23T02:15:29.000Z> l33tkr3w: This is the boy
<2023-02-23T02:15:47.000Z> l33tkr3w: and this is the girl 
<2023-02-23T02:16:27.000Z> l33tkr3w: they're both adopted off the strets
<2023-02-23T02:16:28.000Z> l33tkr3w: Streets *
<2023-02-23T02:16:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: The boy we found as a pup
<2023-02-23T02:16:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: The girl my mother took care of outside for a while
<2023-02-23T02:16:45.000Z> l33tkr3w: Before we convinced her to come in
<2023-02-23T02:16:51.000Z> l33tkr3w: It was hard getting the boy to accept her
<2023-02-23T02:17:04.000Z> l33tkr3w: And she had no trust in me for a while
<2023-02-23T02:17:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: But we made it work in the end
<2023-02-23T02:17:19.000Z> l33tkr3w: Now he actually defends her when it looks like she might be in danger
<2023-02-23T02:17:34.000Z> l33tkr3w: And she won't stop licking me
<2023-02-23T02:17:41.000Z> l33tkr3w: and asking for pets
<2023-02-23T02:17:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: and belly rubs
<2023-02-23T02:19:54.000Z> l33tkr3w: they're my two shining stars in an ocean of darkness
<2023-02-23T03:10:06.000Z> chudbere: they are very cute dogs
<2023-02-23T03:10:14.000Z> chudbere: sorry i got busy with babies
<2023-02-23T22:09:40.000Z> l33tkr3w: Wassup
<2023-02-24T03:37:58.000Z> chudbere: hey

<2023-02-24T03:44:17.000Z> chudbere: yeah, pain in the ass
<2023-02-24T18:47:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: yeah I'm gonna start my shift in an hour here
<2023-02-24T18:47:17.000Z> l33tkr3w: But I'll be done for the week after tomorrow 
<2023-02-24T20:01:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: Corporate training bs
<2023-02-26T19:16:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: What's up Claire
<2023-02-26T19:50:06.000Z> chudbere: yo
<2023-02-26T19:50:10.000Z> chudbere: howd your training go
<2023-02-26T19:50:42.000Z> l33tkr3w: It was just me listening to bs by myself
<2023-02-26T19:50:50.000Z> l33tkr3w: I suppose it was a good excuse to burn some time on the clock
<2023-02-26T20:02:59.000Z> chudbere: yeah better than dealing with customers
<2023-02-26T20:14:00.000Z> l33tkr3w: either way
<2023-02-26T20:14:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: three day weekend
<2023-02-26T20:14:03.000Z> l33tkr3w: wooooo
<2023-02-26T20:24:09.000Z> l33tkr3w: what're you up to
<2023-02-26T20:24:56.000Z> chudbere: about to play a little minecraft with my daughter
<2023-02-26T20:26:44.000Z> l33tkr3w: ah
<2023-02-26T20:26:48.000Z> l33tkr3w: have fun
<2023-02-26T20:37:34.000Z> chudbere: thanks!
<2023-03-01T17:38:59.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey how's it going
<2023-03-01T20:37:17.000Z> chudbere: doing okay
<2023-03-01T20:37:21.000Z> chudbere: hbu?
<2023-03-01T22:17:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: Work
<2023-03-01T22:18:12.000Z> l33tkr3w: Just helped a paramedic get the forced buyout on the apple shitwatch she never got cancelled
<2023-03-01T22:18:21.000Z> l33tkr3w: As in she never received the watch even though she ordered it
<2023-03-01T22:18:24.000Z> l33tkr3w: But still got charged for it
<2023-03-01T22:18:59.000Z> chudbere: that's good you were able to help
<2023-03-01T22:19:37.000Z> l33tkr3w: I've made flags for the factions in my setting btw
<2023-03-01T22:20:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: I'm focusing on the worldbuilding atm
<2023-03-01T22:20:21.000Z> chudbere: cool
<2023-03-01T22:20:33.000Z> l33tkr3w: The plan is that I've given myself a lot of leeway when it comes to in-universe writing
<2023-03-01T22:20:43.000Z> l33tkr3w: But I want to avoid retconning
<2023-03-01T22:20:46.000Z> l33tkr3w: And that kind of shit
<2023-03-01T22:20:58.000Z> l33tkr3w: I want to rigidly build the world and work within those limitations
<2023-03-01T22:21:36.000Z> l33tkr3w: both to try and flex my writing muscles and to avoid the trappins of really bad writing
<2023-03-01T22:22:08.000Z> l33tkr3w: The perception of events should be fluid, not the events themselves
<2023-03-01T22:22:13.000Z> l33tkr3w: If that makes sense
<2023-03-01T22:24:07.000Z> l33tkr3w: I even have a wiki I'm working on
<2023-03-01T22:24:10.000Z> l33tkr3w: For my own usage
<2023-03-02T01:08:35.000Z> l33tkr3w: Shift finished uneventfully
<2023-03-03T19:16:49.000Z> l33tkr3w: hey Claire
<2023-03-03T19:16:50.000Z> l33tkr3w: How're you
<2023-03-05T07:02:52.000Z> l33tkr3w: Hey you doing ok ?
<2023-03-05T07:03:02.000Z> l33tkr3w: Saw the post about you guys being sick
