Also you can still work it’s not going to pull you out of living your life. I got all four removed last week and after 3 hours I could stand up and all that just fine. @BlackTortoise

i knew this guy once, worst case of gingivitis i'd ever smelt

the anethestic they use called twilight lasts like 4 hours at most for most people

Mine put me out for an hour

and your going to like that stuff

If it’s more serious you might need to get longer

Just make sure you get a cab

cab? is this the 50's?

Yeah okay yeah ride your bike wall a bit buzzed on anesthetics

or get a lyft

Also my office gave me the option of a mask rather than the needle drop

But I had the needle drop when I was out anyway

Okay good

I need this taken care of before it breaks my jaw or something

Yes

Worst case scenario after it is you just need to eat soft foods like creamy soups and icecream. And they might give you a list of foods that are safe or google them. Also no cigarettes for so many days

Always go to the dentist

getting to like this kombucha. Tastes like a fruit based beer only without my beloved alcohol

i've heard it tastes like shit, so i never tried it

Well alcohol tastes like shit anyway

pfft

It’s called piss for a reason

it tastes like beer. at least this brand does

what brando?

Only reasoning I can understand bars is peer pressure

bars nothin, i'm sitting next to 3 bottles of scotch

almost done with one

health-ade

That sounds suspiciously healthy

Why tf do baby teeth exist?

All the better to eat babies with

And why do wisdom teeth exist?

@taekahn think of beer brewed from pomengranates, that is the taste

God looked at us as kids and thought well they need something to cry about

that sounds good

But the incentive made me get them out quick

I was full of holes before middle school

Hot

Lets watch people in pain together.

yuck

i saw tim's video on the leftists kidnapped

This is normal in eastern europe

im glad tim doesn't have his head far up his own ass like most leftists in america seem to have

What is the chinese term? Bie Zua or something? White Leftists?

Baizuo?

something like that

I know tim is a very busy guy, but as a libertarin right trump supporter he is the type of guy i would hang around with

"Be polite, professional and have a plan to kill everyone you meet today."

Or perhaps the better one I live by is "Never start a fight, but always be on the look out for one and be ready to end it."

His story about men being held at gun point on their stomach while their female friends get gangraped. this shit is normal outside of western europe!

I am proud of myself

Road to one month

Well Western Europe and FIVEEYE

UK, Canada, Australia, New Zeeland and United State

give it time and they will import it though

@Rouqen did You watch more db

Goku is about to get serious

I think I finally figured out why I like one piece but cannot like dragon Ball

It's because almost every new challenge in dragon Ball is the same as in other similar anime

Like yu yu hakusho or My hero academia

But along with those tropes, it doesn't have unique characters or actual mystery like in the other two

And the animation isn't anything special so it doesn't attract me either

I think there were about 3 characters in dragon Ball I've ever cared about, Vegeta, Gohan, and Broly

Lol

The villains are the most interesting part of the series for me, yet few have any stories I haven't seen before with better characters, writing, and animation

@Abel why is Broly interesting

He is literally just a stronger Saiyan

He is the least interesting to me imo

I honestly don't know

Ah

But referring to the villains, dragon Ball isn't the only thing that replicates these tropes

Even things like power rangers do it

What tropes

Villain who absorbs energy

Villain who predicts moves

Villain who is insanely fast that you can't see him

Villain who steals power

Villain who shape shifts

And so on

To be fair though, buu turned out to be really fun as a character

So six or so different tropes

And frieza was interesting

I thought Buu was the most recycled villain

They already had someone who could regenerate

Yes, but he was entertaining

I disagree

I'm taking personal opinion man, you're entirely free to do that

Buu was childish and powerful

That is fine

But he regenerated easier than Cell

And he had forms like Frieza

Even Cell had forms but it was based on who he absorbed

Buu did too but only after his evil form

Anyway I am not in total disagreement but I personally liked Frieza and Cell over Buu

Plus lets get into the cynical side of things

as in why they chose villains for the franchise

Frieza's first form seemed interesting but people thought it was weird he was so short. But that is sorta why he seemed so haunting

then the producers said "maybe Frieza should have a second form"

so he basically turned into King Cold before King Cold was reveiled

a big version of Frieza

but wait it would make more sense if Piccolo was wished back and actually did something against the second form, right

so he does

Then he goes third form

The third form is basically Freiza as the alien from alien

Gohan goes apeshit and beats him up at least for a moment

Frieza goes final form, Goku comes back and beats him up a bit and it it seemingly over

His final form is basically his first form but more streamlined

less ridiculous, but still perplexing due to his short height

geez

All of this was decided based on marketing

Just like Cell

i leave for twenty mins and the spaghetti is everywhere

Cell had three forms just because the producers said "he looks too gross" for his first form

then Toriyama makes a second form and they say "he looks too dumb"

so he makes a third and final form that looks more human

sorry i am a dragon ball fag

just seems a lack of originality lately from japan creators doesn't it? both in anime and games

like the industry is in a slump but afraid to take risks creatively

isn't that kind of true about most entertainment industries these days?

the end of last year saw a huge slump for most tech/entertainment companies

but especailly the triumvirate of evil

well, the entertainment industry in my country is far to infected with trump derrangement syndrome and are foaming at the mouth with progressive cancer

not so much afraid but woke and going broke

i get the feeling that some of has to do with move away from older/traditional forms of media

the younger the cohort/demographic, the less influenced they are established media

so companies are losing their marbles trying to secure established IPs whilst also watering them down to appeal to a newer broader audience

and not just domestically

places like china are for the time being a huge untapped market

i think that is what is partly behind the rush to get out as many star wars movies as possible

well that's just one example

stuff like diablo immortal just seems like one last wringing of the nearly bloodless cashcow's corpse of it's last few remaining drops of blood though

that's a good example actually

the diablo mobile game was a reskin of a mobile/casual rpg developed for/in china

they just wanted to trot it out as it was something already to go

it's lazy

but i can see why they did it

the bigger problem is the useless hacks in PR/community management

they call gamers entitled and what not

but they're one of the last groups that are invested in their hobby/past time

what can be entitled with wanting the best value for your purchase?

exactly

your already buying a game that isn't even made a lot now (pre order) and that changes to add ever more ways to nickle and dime you (patches) as it's sold back to you in slices (DLC)

pretty much

over a decade back they were practically throwing a free section of the game at you hoping you'd buy it

now it's pre orders, on disc DLC, day one DLC, loot boxes ...

and I'd bet they track their players and sell that data as well

plus in game ads of course

it's even worse than that

you know how always online DRM is a shitty practise?

what if i told you they're planning on having streaming only play

you will never even have the files on your computer

it won't be to long until they hijack your pc to run a cryptominer, wait for it

don't give them ideas

lol

play some CoD and your CPU+gpu stay at 100% because they are using your 'idle' power to run a cryptominer. That will likely be what is next

i mean, streaming the games is nice... but I know the assholes will shit over the players.

what is to stop some kind of free open source gaming platform thing?

like an engine and what not?

since streaming is hardware agnostic and I can run anything on even the shittiest phone then

comparing a 2-3k upgrade for a new pc vs 10-15 for a gaming streaming service. It would benefit me to get the streaming service

and long before that difference is made up the pc I would buy would be not just obsolete but likely either dead or dying

but they will fuck it up

they always do

where there's a will

there's a mistake

been using the ge force now service on my shield while the beta is free and it's been decent for me

the service gives me a virtual client with 15gb of video ram alone, so it can run literally anything

but can it run crysis?

(couldn't resist)

i might be a bit odd then

i'd prefer to play a game with inferior graphics/performance

for better gameplay

oh it's not that. Just that my current pc will die, that is going to happen. At that point I have to decide, to get a new one or just pay the streaming

balanced, well designed, all that

that is what they are banking on i know, that we have to decide to give them a monthly fee or buy a new pc when the time comes

what if parts could be refurbed?

or would that be antithetical to the computer design philosophy?

a rtx costs what... like a grand?

and ya, I tend to be a fps whore. More so in competitive shooters

well that's understandable

is a rental/streaming service going to be advantegeous in the long run?

what is to stop the company from price scalping and all that?

throttling people's service to push them to upgrade

or even worse, cutting off the service due to ToS violations?

it may be cheaper upfront but you lose access to your library as soon as that lapses and the value depends on what you get, how much it costs per month and what the cost to building your own system is

and they already do that with digital games. Blizzard is banning people from their library's for 'mean' words said on twitch

are people avoiding blizzard as a result?

blizzard is getting gutted by activision... who is playing the part of buffalo bill in silence of the lambs

blizzard is busy putting the lotion on it's skin...

lol

so when blizzard goes under, what happens to all those digital libraries?

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

activision gets them

or rather already has them but now controls them entirely

that way activision's lizard people ceos can wear some human skin to pretend to be one of us

are we going to see another games crash like back in the 70s 80s?

No

darn

probably a LOT of media will die off soon. Twitter and facebook are pouring gasoline on themselves while already on fire, marvel and idw are in a race to see who fails first, news media is a dumpster fire filled with smaller dumpster fires filled with used diapers, print media is basically dead and is in zombie mode as they are reanimated by propagandists looking for that last little bit of dancing from their marionette, television and movies are sjw graveyards, and gaming is just ewwwwww. Plus the less said about music today the better

being slowly dominated by casual mobile games?

Gaming is perfect 👌

for soccer moms and empty nesters?

the music industry was created undead

its very existence killed off the gigging scene for the most part

musicans' pay has been frozen since the 1970s

i can understand why a lot of my professors were open commies

can't sympathise though

we'll hit a point that they start using AI to replace humans in media though, to make it cheaper to shovel us that shit

fuck

how are you all

the neglected

the abstract geniuses of your local area

*sniff*

I'm gonna go on VR

might be back in a bit

take care

Fuck Marvel and DC. Companies like Alterna will take over pretty soon

Marvel is mostly dependent on toys, TV and movies right now anyway

without stan lee marvel is doomed so I think they will win their bet with IDW on who can fail first

while poor little dc is following hard along with image on the race to fall to rock bottom and hit face first

if all your friends are jumping off a bridge would you do that also?..... media leaders: YES!

tbh if all my friends were jumping off the same bridge at the same time

it would probably be for a good reason

Lol
