  1. I’m way into the Great British Baking Show (also known as the Great British Bake Off).

    I’ve watched the first 4 seasons (with Paul Mary, Sue and Mel) that are up on Netflix and I’m completely hooked. However, I’m thoroughly confused by what the actual airing order of the seasons is. I know that Netflix doesn’t have the first original three seasons so season 1 in America is season 4 in the U.K., or so I think. The problem is that I can’t google any information about the show because all of the search results end up being loaded with spoilers about who wins.

    I’m very curious to know if the post-Mary-Berry seasons are worth watching. I have a gut feeling they won’t be as good. Also, did Mary, Sue and Mel go on to another show or are they done?

    Bake!

     

    Sue and Mel present or host all kinds of things on UK TV, Mary has her own professional baking career and I think judges on some other cooking competition show now.

    It's only aired on Channel 4 for one season last year and currently airing season 2. It's alright, Sandi and Noel are fun presenters. Prue has absolutely no presence though, and the Paul Hollywood handshake has lost all value with how often he does it. Just the same light-hearted watching really.

  2.  

     

    someone shot at this big streamer guy's house in the middle of a stream

     

     

    the fuck

     

    DrDisRespect is a pretty wholesome dude why the fuck would you shoot at his house, people are messed up

     

     

    didn't this nibba cheat on his wife and make a big deal streaming about it? and then he just goes back to business as usual eventually. I don't see anything wholesome.

     

    I should declare upfront I have zero respect for streamers so maybe don't take my opinions as a rule here. also I don't really want people - yes, even streamers, even the really annoying ones - to get shot or have their houses shot at.

     

     

    I don't keep up with all streamer drama so haven't heard about that, that is fucked up though, for the most part I only hear about him being pretty down to earth and cool with fans tho

     

    But yeah shooting at homes is uh obviously insane

  3. Do I need to be extremely stoned to listen to cumtown or something? I have tried the odd current episode in the past but wasn't too into it, maybe I should try their much earlier stuff?

     

    And yeah The Dollop is pretty great.

    Tried Trashfuture, each of the host's Twitter TL is pretty great but just not feeling it as a podcast.

  4.  

    Reactivated my WoW account after about ten years like some sort of colossal dumbass

     

     

    Have a god life, man. It was nice knowing you.

     

    just going to merge into my desk and computer like The Master in Fallout for the most efficient grinding

     

    tbf they have trimmed a LOT of fat since I last played... you still gotta pay a ludicrous amount for fast flying mount skill though, don't really see the point

     

    there's also a mount that costs 5mil gold to buy in the new expansion if you're looking to completely melt your brain (I remember feeling plush paying for a 20k mount back in WotLK)

  5.  

    I’ll be headed to Gamescom in a week to show off the game I’ve been working on for about a year. Pretty excited about this.

     

    Good luck! By all accounts Gamescom is a bloodbath on the public-attending side of things, hope that doesn't spill over for yourself.

     

    lol what do you mean by this? I've never been, but I'm imagining hordes of neckbeards and scrawny nerds clamouring over each other to play the Next Big Thing.

     

    Anyhow sounds super cool Squee, good luck!

  6. Anyway, I spent the holidays among medieval cities, castles, ruins etc and couldn't get Age Of (the track, not the album) out of my head. 60mn of harpischord is what I want

     

    It's an absolute ear worm and I love it. myriad.industries is cool too, like you fed a whole archive of harpsichord music to a machine learning algorithm.

  7. Any WATMM'ers want to recommend some good story-driven sci-fi/futuristic/alternative history FPS's to me?  There's a lot I haven't played, f knows where to start.

     

    FPS I've finished in the last year & enjoyed include Wolf 2, both Wolf 1's, Prey, Fallout 4, Doom, Unreal (the original - but finally finished it), Deus Ex: MD and HR, Borderlands 2. 

     

    FPS's I started and didn't finish: Watch Dogs 2 (super irritated by characters/story so far), Bioshock Infinite (seemed decent but I probably should finish Bioshock 1 and play Bioshock 2 first).

     

    Mass Effect is a p cool space opera RPG. A bit janky by today's standard but the story and writing are pretty solid, and a fleshed out universe/lore if that's your bag. Probably only worth playing the first two.

  8. Right that's what I meant, I was sure it was still a thing but I fully accept I'm old and extremely out of touch, especially with hip hop/grime. Kinda why I thought after Black Snow we'd be getting a deconstructed hip hop thing.

     

    But yeah weird phlegmy coughs are gonna put a lot of people off

  9. I don't always get Boyce, but I do like We'll Take It vid. Sort of like an algorithmic approximation of human fear and spectacle. There were a bunch of clips in the Myriad show that did just look like slow close ups of weird messed up 3d models though, didn't do much for me. Like Toys 2 just had some guy in a chair in a field? I don't get it.

     

    But yeah love both vids, The Station is really claustrophobic and apocalyptic. Grey goo hell realm.
