  • Man cards

    Jump

  • Lorde and RTJ are both great. If you enjoyed Lorde but were afraid to admit it, that'd be the only thing revoking your man card.

  • What are the best reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?

    Jump

  • I use Mint for my streaming laptop and it works fine - great, even.

    My main PC is still on Windows because from what I understand FL Studio needs WINE to run, and I could never get WINE to work on the streaming laptop. That plus 10 years of files and shit that I don't know if they will work or whatever if I did switch over. Pretty sure most or all of my Steam games would work fine, it's just too many unknowns for everything else. I'd be happy to be proven wrong but it's too big of a hassle for now.

  • What's an album with a completely unique sound

    Jump

  • Gorguts - Obscura

    Death metal band takes death metal and flips it on its head. I forget the exact phrasing from an interview with the frontman Luc Lemay, but he said they wanted to make their instruments speak in a new way. It's highly experimental and maybe tough to digest even for death metal fans, but it's undeniably unique and brilliant.

    What do y'all think is up with Trump glazing Mamdani?

    Jump

  • They sang songs with lyrics about New York together and that was that.

    Other, less-likely factors:

    New York loves Mamdani. Trump loves New York.

    Trump wants to align himself with winners, and Mamdani is a winner.

    Mamdani explained to him how doing what is good for New Yorkers would result in a boom for businesses and the economy.

    He feels comradery over the ragebait questions from the press.

    The writing is on the wall with a low approval rating and the Epstein Files. He sees his loss of support and party circling like hyenas. He's desperate and/or willing to try something different to save face. Maybe he becomes a Democrat. He never admitted to supporting Project 2025 and friends, and would betray them to serve himself. He doesn't give a shit as long as he stays in power. Woke Trump 2026.

  • Wrist breaker 2000

  • Frequency illusion going hard. This is my second time hearing the term "wrist breaker". The first time was earlier today.

  • Games that I finished this year so far. Probably the best year of gaming for me since 2007

  • Thanks, I love it

  • Did you make this chart yourself from scratch or is there some kind of tracking tool to help?

  • What's an album with a completely unique sound

    Jump

  • Ulver's "Nattens Madrigal". Bees in a tin can.

    Hilarious and accurate. And that one acoustic passage that makes you think "hey maybe there will be more like this".

  • Unlike most people, I get my information from a vetted, trusted source.

    Jump

  • Multiple fountain drinks weren't enough so he called in the can of root beer for backup

  • 3rd-person shooters optimized for controllers?

    Jump

  • I'm also a PC gamer who prefers using a controller. No doubt a mouse is better for aiming, I just find a controller more comfortable and easier to relax with while playing, especially after working a desk job all day.

    You should check out Remnant 2 and Risk of Rain 2.

  • The second coming of Christ is an alien plan?

    Jump

  • I cast Occam's Razor on your theory.

    There doesn't need to be a grand plan to explain what's going on. Besides, if people actually followed what Jesus taught we'd be at least a little better off. We can hardly work together for a greater good let alone stick to some alien plan.

    My theory is this ball of idiots is bumbling around and doing idiot things against its better judgement. Smart enough to have made it this far, but dumb enough to fuck it up.

  • The albums that teach us how to grow up

    Jump

  • The 3EB and Leonard Cohen albums are quite deep lyrically. I was young when I got into those and didn't have the life experience to truly relate, but as time passed and I grew up, it's almost like they predicted the future. More like they talked about relatable experiences I would eventually have that would make sense later on. I appreciate them even more now as an adult for that reason.

    The Gorguts one was present in a tough time in life. Maybe it could have been any other artist, but it happened to be this one that gave me strength in that moment. Specifically the high energy of that music was exactly what I needed to vibe with.

  • [Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and which "easy boss" took you an embarrassingly long time to beat?

    Jump

  • Abyss Watchers. These days I can backstab them all day, but first playthrough they served well as a skill check.

    Twin Princes, too. Besides the teleport on top of your head, it's an extremely fair fight. If you respect their moves they practically can't hurt you. They were very tough the first couple playthroughs though.

  • What is your favorite Metroidvania?

    Jump

  • Pretty spot on video.

    I just ordered the plushy because it's on sale and I love Chewnic so much. I love the fox.

  • The albums that teach us how to grow up

    Jump

  • Third Eye Blind - Self-titled

    Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen

    Deftones - White Pony

    Tool - Aenima

    Gorguts - Considered Dead & The Erosion of Sanity (dual album re-release)

    There could be a lot more, but these ones in particular all stand out from key moments or periods of growing up.

  • Bloodthief

    I followed the dev logs on Youtube and learned a few Godot tricks from them. Got this on day one to support the dev and indie scene and just started playing. It's a blast. Fast paced hack and slash parkour action. It feels extremely satisfying to clear a room of enemies as you whip around.
