Just received unofficial word that I've been selected for the new job I applied for last week. Sounds like it'll be more supply/logistics-oriented than my current job. And of course better pay.

Oh...so that's where it came from.

I'm too embarrassed to say how many hours I've put into the System Shock remake. I'm pleased with it overall, but it does have a tendency to get monotonous, particularly later in the game. And yeah, it does have a pretty dumb ending, especially that song that plays right before the credits roll. I guess the main replay value I've found with it is changing up the Hacker's weapons loadout. The Laser Rapier, Magnum 2100, & Skorpion SMG are my keepers every time. Shotty is good for mid-game and AR is decent for late game, but kind of mediocre overall. Hell, you could probably smite most baddies with just the not-Lightsaber and loads of Berserk patches, depending on your preferred strategy.

Just got done listening to the Hague gig. AE update your _STORE later this year pls. I'm hungry for more sets.

It's already been a month since I've seen Pt 2. I don't think I have much to add that hasn't already been said. But it definitely felt like things were heating up at this point in the Dune saga. I particularly liked the opening scene where the Harkonnen troops were patrolling the sands of Arrakis and they were getting picked off by Fremen snipers, followed by Chani taking out one of their thopters with Paul's assistance. And the fate of Vlad Harkonnen right after the arrival of the Emperor...I don't wanna spoil it outright, but I found it darkly amusing. Still gotta read the 650+ page Dune book I got for my birthday last year. I probably wouldn't have gotten the interest I have in it now, were it not for Denis Villeneuve.

ADACA on Zone Patrol rn. Campaign already completed. Pretty impressive overall for a one-person studio - definitely recommend to fans of Half-Life and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. Bought Dead Space 2 recently on sale for dirt cheap but haven't played yet. Only played the remake of the first game, which is still good. Although generally not into zombie games, Dying Light seems appealing lately. Might buy when it goes on sale. System Shock remake gets a patch update next week, with main focus on revamped final stage, plus option to play as female Hacker. Also still waiting for Fallout: London to drop on the 23rd.

Social Media's Effects On Our Minds & Lives
ambermonk replied to autopilot's topic in General Banter
This is more or less a soft announcement. Not worth starting a thread over I think. Anyway, I've been contemplating this for at least the past week or so, but...pretty sure this is going to be my last post, at least for a while. That is to say, I plan to start an indefinite internet hermitage/sabbatical tomorrow. No FB, no YT, no Reddit, no X...not even WATMM. Nothing that involves public online interaction of any kind. It's reached the point where today's internet mainstream is becoming mentally untenable for me. And I need to withdraw just to clear my mind. So it's down to basics - email, online banking & shopping, and news. And probably the occasional food recipe hunting. But that's it. That'll be the extent of my internet usage for the foreseeable future. May the Dank Memes continue...with or without me. But I shall return one day.- 627 replies

Autechre in Cyberpunk 2077 - Phantom Liberty DLC?!
ambermonk replied to jaderpansen's topic in Autechre
I haven't gotten far enough into Starfield yet to find out if you can visit binary star systems (like in No Man's Sky), but if so, Paralel Suns would be perfect.. -
Koyaanisqatsi is a recurring theme in the back of my mind - the only intrusive thought I consider welcome.

Never thought I'd own one, but I now have my first dakimakura.

Technically true...

The current Russian army has to be the most fucked up military in the history of the 21st Century.

TBH I never bothered much with secondary attack modes, as I never really found them useful. Except for maybe the Ripper.
