Say what you will about Apple, I gave them a couple hundred bucks almost fourteen years ago and I can just use their video editing suite as much as I want and they give me every updates on the reg.

I missed this game when it first came out, but my child heard a lot about it at school so we got it for him and I saw it was co-op so I was like, “cool, a game we could play together.” Holy shit do I not understand this game at all. I beat all of base Elden Ring solo, no on-line help, but I die within the first ten minutes of being in this game. I’m guessing it’s just something you have to be properly wired for or something and I am decidedly not.
I’ve had this song in my head all day despite not having heard it in forever. Wild to see it posted on here now. Great track.
This whole soundtrack rules. That Filter + Crystal Method track is arguably my favorite from both those bands.
Overall, wouldn’t trade my home gym for much. But I do miss the community you get from going to a public gym. I met so many people I otherwise would never have met. Like a dance professor that had the same lifting schedule as me or the time USMNT player Ben Olsen brought some academy players in on a random day. I don’t miss feeling rushed on equipment, or the commute to and from the gym, or being lectured for “dropping” weights when I do Pendlay Rows, but I do miss the community.
I played last year after a pretty big gap (not 15 years, but close) and honestly it does not hit the same at all. Was thankful, it was pretty easy to put down compared to Vanilla and Burning Crusade. Just seems so streamlined now, I feel like I’m on a conveyor belt of various line fills up.
Really have liked Alice Longyu Gao since I heard of her through that track she had Oli Sykes on. Wish she leaned into that screamy, heavy stuff a little more, but most of what she does is enjoyable regardless.
I really enjoyed the game circa 2014 or so. The game. The player base has individuals that are as toxic as reputation gives. But the matches were actually fairly slow paced and movement creep hadn’t gotten incredible yet. Something very strategic about how the phases of the game went. The heroes were deep enough that you could become good with them on a level that impressed, but not so much so that you couldn’t rotate between good “counters” to opponent’s choices. I actually enjoyed how long the matches were. I usually only played when 2+ friends were also playing to mitigate the toxicity, but I had a blast doing it.
At the more entry levels of filmmaking, nothing separates the wheat from the chaff faster than sound. Not only is it very underrated by a lot of budding, amateur filmmakers, but it’s so easy to get wrong and so difficult to get right. A lot like finding a drummer for a fledgling band, finding a good sound designer is super hard to find, but so important.
I am happy that, for the most part, the computer handles the Pathfinder crunch, but I agree it is a bit much. I even have GM’d Shadowrun tables for like a decade now and find Pathfinder to be too much crunch haha
Oh, wow. I knew WotR and Kingmaker were very buggy too, but I didn’t realize the turn based mode was a mod! Wild. Especially since Rogue Trader only really has turn based.
I hear you on that. I haven’t had a crashing bug that stopped me completely, but I’ve never had a game crash as much as Rogue Trader does. But, in some way I almost appreciate that because it stops me from playing a bit. It’s the type of game I could really get sucked into and the crash pulls me out and lets me to other things with my ‘me’ time of the day. But maybe it just shouldn’t crash and I should have more self discipline haha
Definitely have to turn on fast animations for combat in RT because so many character’s turns are just recasting buffs. Also I do miss the “real time” combat setting from Wrath when you knew you could just bulldoze something and didn’t want to have to do a full turn based thing.
I would entirely agree with this if I wasn’t playing Rogue Trader right now, and I think Owlcat have outdone themselves. I am enjoying RT more than even Wrath of the Righteous, which was already one of the best CRPGs I have played.
Owlcat’s follow-up, Rogue Trader, does have co-op. It’s Warhammer rather than Pathfinder, so your mileage may vary on how that different setting hits you. But it has a lot of the same great writing.
I also really disliked the crusade mechanic and was happy in Rogue Trader it was just the slightly annoying ship battles as the mini-game of choice. Not nearly as frustrating and a time sink and feels more connected to your character, since it’s your character’s ship, than just sending some troops around while your party does the real shit.
Wrath of the Righteous was one of the best CRPGs I’ve ever played. Would recommend that. I’m playing Owlcat’s followup right now: Rogue Trader, and loving it even more actually, but will save final verdict for when I finish it.
Just re-watched Metropolis and I love it a lot more than I did back then. Fantastic film with only a little bit of dated 3d animation, but the 2D stuff is gorgeous and definitely captures the feel of an earlier style.
Man, OK. This makes me feel a little better haha
