i type way too much about video games and sometimes music

  • Also don't brush your gums too hard, I did that a bit when I didn't know better, and my gums receded slightly. Turns out those things don't come back. Make sure you brush that area though!

  • Plus, if you preserve your hearing you'll be able to hear all the high dog whistle frequencies that everybody else won't be able to, and you'll feel just a tiny bit superior for no good reason.

  • What a sign of the times. Being subscribed to a fucking printer

  • Plus how can you hold "borrowing a charger" against a phone company? If you don't have a charger on hand that's your fault.

  • I have had two Harley Benton bass guitars, a 5 string fretless, and a 5 string PJ combo, and they both shit the bed and ceased to work in under a year of light usage, both times it was cheap electronics (the pickups).

    That being said I have many friends with Harley Benton instruments and amps and they all work fine still, I just got unlucky. Of course, cheap parts are cheap parts and will be more liable to fail than better ones. It is still a lot better than it used to be.

  • Bonus points: funny and they use their own material and don't rely on regurgitated internet memes or jokes

  • That's director M. Night Shyamalan, who directed the live action avatar film with the dubious reputation. What a good sport

  • Oh shit, this dropped finally, I'm going to try it out after work today!

  • I wanted to like this, but I just don't understand how they already made better pirate games in the AC series and then pooped out a dedicated multiplayer pirate game that lacks dismounting your ship dynamically and other players can't walk onto your ship with you.

  • 2006 was a neat game with some particularly cool bits, but 2017 is one of my favorite games of all time and pound for pound is a superior game due to 2017 being a spiritual successor to System Shock 2.

    Very different games though, I don't honestly think they should be compared directly, it was already a weird choice for Prey 2017 to receive the franchise name.

  • That's good to know! I am a bit tied to my true account, I'm at some ungodly multiple hundreds of levels and have challenge hunted more than I do in most games, but if I can still play all the maps and freelancer mode etc. with server emulation down the line that would be absolutely amazing.

  • It's slowed down now, and either way you can feel free to run missions at any difficulty you're comfortable with to get equipment for viable builds.

  • True, it's a curse that the hitman reboot trilogy is one of my favorite "games" of all time. Simply nothing can match it for me, not even the older titles in the same franchise. And it's always online. If they don't offer a contingency plan for end of life down the line my favorite experience will eventually disappear.

  • Novelty is a natural part of human experience. The only way we can exist is if things are not as incredibly mind bending as the first time you see them.

    We perceive reality from the moment we open our eyes upon being born. By the time you comprehend what reality is, it's old hat. This happens to everything, from the first time you see a good movie, to the first time you drive a car on the freeway, eventually everything that we do repeatedly loses its novelty so that the human mind isn't constantly blown by all the crazy shit going on.

  • I mean, Ubisoft has been publishing the series for at least 14 years. It's pretty solidly theirs. They'd have to willingly give it up.

  • If you work around forklifts, never trust the driver. Ideally they're being safe and watching out for you, but don't gamble on it. They're heavier than a car and can very easily kill you or at the least break your foot and it will be an arduous healing process.

  • I like psychologically interesting movies, though my favorites aren't necessarily all like that. Some big ones for me:

    Spirited Away - Miyazaki film about a girl who stops off at an abandoned amusement park while driving to a new house with her parents, who eat food meant for spirits and become pigs. She is unable to escape and ends up in the spirit world, enslaved by a witch who controls a spirit bathhouse as the protagonist attempts to rescue her parents and escape

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - a man and woman break up in a very lightly sci fi world where it's possible to erase people's memories, and they choose to erase each other and inevitably the man regrets it as it's happening in his mind

    Perfect Blue - animated Japanese film about an Idol who tries to escape Idol life by becoming an actress, which is an incredibly difficult and stressful process as she deals with a stalker and the film/TV industry at the same time. As the movie continues she becomes so stressed and tired that the lines between reality and the films she's in begin to blur together and she starts to lose grip on reality.

    21 and 22 Jump Street - FUCK they're just well written and well executed comedy.

  • Oh no, you're correct there, it's just sort of a shame that they took an otherwise pretty level tweet and then made the headline sound like he was being dismissive

  • I mean, the article is just 70% quoting the guy's tweet, it's barely an article.
