    I'll probably get crucified for this

    Haven't played TCP yet, but I watched a gameplay live stream the other day. I guess that GRP thingy you get is nearly identical to the telekinesis ability in Control. I think I got pretty far in that game two years ago but never finished it.

    WATMM has been incredibly resilient though if you think about it, considering it's still active for nearly a quarter-century.

    Hello

    ambermonk replied to End Quote's topic in General Banter

    Welcome. Yeah it's a neat place if you're into Warp legends like Ae, Aphex, and Squarepusher. And we still have the occasional dank meme ouer d'oeuvres.

    Gotta meet up with some people in an hour. Just got finished making my signature three-bean avocado salad. I guess it's a 400-year-old tradition now in the US, whose origins aren't exactly the wholesome story we've been taught growing up in grade school. Regardless, I feel obligated to participate once again to appease my elders. (BTW please don't let this fact discourage you from celebrating. Do what you gotta do.)

    Got my driver license renewed today but my new photo looks like shite. Looks like I have no neck, like a hairy nadsack or something.

    If it's your thing, go for it. But it ain't my thing. Already beat it once. Not going back. The attitude that it's a gameplay benchmark for all shooters today is a purely subjective one.

    Yeah I'm a bit wary of the direction Id are going since Doom Eternal. I thought DE was overrated personally. Story was disjointed and the whole thing just reeked of Marvel-esque hypermasculinity. Plus the platforming sections were just dumb. It's like they were trying to make a Dark Souls game with Mario mini-games on the side. And the combat itself is just unrealistic. Might as well be a bar fight simulator with one drunken asshole against the entire bar full of drunken assholes. And all of the drinks are infused with Red Bull. Doom 2016 on the other hand was near flawless, and I couldn't have asked for a better reboot at the time. Id Software made the mistake of trying to improve something that was already basically perfect and ended up fucking it up.

    I'm scheduled for a call session on Discord in a few minutes with someone I've never met in person and I'm nervous af.

    F.E.A.R. This game has held up quite well 17 years later. The dark urban environments, the near-future setting with a combination of modern and sci-fi guns, mech suits, tactical combat, Japanese horror elements, and the droning FM synth pads and bells in the soundtrack make me feel like this game was made for me. Plus I've yet to see any game that has pulled off the slo-mo mechanic as well as this one since.

    If social media has taught me anything from the advent of MySpace to today, I've learned that social media is bullshit. Eternal solitude is preferable to fake friendships.

    Kind of in the same boat. Been listening to NTS a lot more than either SIGN or PLUS since their release. SIGN kind of feels like Oversteps 2.0 to me - lighter and more melody focused, albeit with a bit more mechanical polish and foreboding tone. It also felt like a product of its time, like literally at the moment of release. I feel like it reflected the dark yet cautiously hopeful mood of the times, when the possibility of Orange Man getting re-elected was a real threat and COVID was in full swing, especially in the tracks si00 and psin AM.

    Been revisiting this album this week. Still holds up quite well I think, considering it's been nearly two decades already. I mean, this is still from a time before smartphones and social media began to dominate our lives. Pretty nuts if you listen to it and think about that.

    Damn. I've been hearing mixed reviews but I still bought it. Was gonna try it out tomorrow night maybe, but still playing Cultic (Chapter One).

    Intimidation and terror to assert one's "dominance" - Putin's MO. Wish there was a way to hack one of those drones and fly it up his ass. Speaking of which, respect to these police officers for taking one down in Kyiv

    Damn. They sound sussy for sure. Like a pack of ferals basically. Glad you were able to make it out with only a urinated tire for damage. I still have a FB account, which I seldom check anymore. And every time I do, it's only a reminder why I seldom check anymore. You're not missing anything.

    25th anniversary of me being an edgy hormonal teen vibing to RDJ's attempt at metal. Good times.
