good news all around me (also how long has this place been on 4000 followers for?)

Nice. what parts are you using?

nothing high end lol
just some more low end-mid range stuff
i dont want much
just better than my laptop

Get one with an actual graphics card
My cousin had the mistake of buying one without it

i think im getting an rtx 5040 or smth

Noice👍

nice, (one of the rare times i look at the tags)
im still goin to beusing a laptop for what seems like awhile.

oh my
thats a lot of time when you add it up

i checked how long i had on ss14 and it was 86 hrs (one overnight) (left my computer on overnight)

i have 231 hours played in my most played steam game.

that game being?

Worldbox

what do *you* do in worldbox. bc last time i played (i was 12ish) i just bombed everything

i make worlds
spawn some people
let them build up
put them through hell
they survive somehow
repeat from step 3 (step 2 if necessary)

i prefer more hands on civ creation. like polytopia.

polytopia?

'the battle of polytopia' is a civlike where everything is dumbed down, thus allowing for more competitive scene and a elo system. only one recourse, a plethora of troops all given stats that are "easily" understood. my freind hates it bc im good at it.

ooh interesting
is it free?

ftp but in app purchases required to play online. still fun tho.

oh
i mean they gotta make money somehow

midjiwan.
i love saying that.
midjiwan.
but yeah. need to make money to host the servers.

what does midjiwan mean?

the game devs for polytopia

oh
right

yeah, i like playing polaris. freeze water and sled spam.

mm, frozen water.

i <3 froz wawa

water is molten ice

ice is a rock. water is a form of lava.

therefore if you have a castle with a water moat then you can say that you are defended by a moat of lava

MUA HA HA *lightning crackles*

sure would scare away the rapscallions

rapping stallions?

no
rapscallions
mischief makers

rapping stallion rapscallion?
mutilation?
extorsation?

rapscallion stallion

rapstallion scallion.

i have come to think of your life as at least 35% ss14

like my waking hours? (6%)
or my mental capasity? (full of breach rn)

yeah waking hours

you might be thinking of my freiend. 600hrs in the past 3 months (since june)

WHAT
THE
ADDICTION

:P
we arnt metally ok

600 hours is more than a week of non stop playing

me: *slides the 20000 hours i listened to music from june to august under the rug, 80% likely being TØP*
yep,yuh huh,yeah,thats a bad thing,nods

DUDE
20000 HOURS
I HAVE NEVER SPENT THAT LONG ON SOMETHING

tbh, i listen while doing school work. and while getting ready to sleep,and whie walking to and from school. and somtimes while i game.
we will find out how much i have listened in november :D

nz school system sounds cursed

foregn stuff always feel that way. but i feel like it ligns up relitivly well.

true
i bet you would think half the stuff over here is bonkers

like?

hmm
i once saw a drunk guy at the zoo trying to fight a wallaby next to a bunch of kids on a school excursion

eh. anything else?

tbh nothing comes to mind
if you look it up on youtube or smth you can find a ton of lists for shit like this

i have been numbed to "weird" after i joined this stream,sooooo...

lmao same

also ss14. ss14 did it too.

no
at the end of this year i will be year 10
2 years after that i will be year 12

huh? at the end of the year??
im y13 *next* year
and you end at y12?

look dude im not good with years
i am in year 9
by 2028 i will be year 12

yeah,that checks out, but you end at y12?

yes
then you can go to universities

dang, we end at y13. (like i said before.)

damn
we just go:
Primary school: Grade prep/0 - Year 6
High school: Year 7-12
Any education onwards is usually university or med school and shit

age 3/4 kindie
5 start school @ y0/y1
go to y6 then intermediate
y7&8
y9 to 13 is HS
you can leave hs at age 16 (y11 generally)
i didnt do y1 because homeschooling

we have like
age 3-5 kinder
age 6 start school at y0
age 12 finish primary
age 13 start high school at year 7
age 18 finish year 12
age 19 start university
the ages are on average in some cases people of younger/older age canget boosted up/sent down while determining when to start school

in nz if you are born after term 1 then you take y0. otherwise you go straight to y1. makes sence why yall go to y12 now.

fair
laptops arent nessicarily bad
pcs are just better
but both are better than go***mn ipads

mm, yeah. my brother has a pc. and i feel like that would be a hassle to move out with or without.

true
but its not like people move out often

if he is going to go to college (uni) elsewhere then its going to be hard to move out. (he is like, 4 ish years out )

yeah i can imagine

i should probibly start thinking about what i would bring...

i still got a couple years lol

ive got, like one and a bit.

i got 2 after this year

...
do your HS's end at y11?
