Legit question: how is that different conceptually to the random individuals all running Prime95? Could that not also be referred to as a cloud supercomputer?

Fair warning, Battle of Mice can be tough to listen to. Song 6 of “A day of Nights”, titled “At the base of the giants throat” has 911 call audio from 7:00 ish to the end of the song.

Rheia is so fucking good. It’s a perfect example of music driven by emotion and backed up by incredible execution of the music itself. Glad to see that other people dig it. As for Deafheaven, I loved it when I first heard of it and listened to it all the time, but it’s become one of those bands that I can’t listen to anymore because of the association to that point in my life, which was not great to put lightly. I remember it being an incredible band, but it’s been close to 10 years since I’ve listened to it, so I can’t say whether I’d think it’s good today. Maybe I wouldn’t like it today if I was just hearing it the first time.

Edit: my favorite Battle of Mice song, Sleep and Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k74EB4XVp0

Check out Battle of Mice, Deafheaven, and Oathbreaker if you haven’t. They lean pretty heavily on the depressing side of metal, but they have some killer vibes.

Could check out High on Fire if you haven’t.

Saw them open for Mastodon in 2009 (I think). Fucking excellent on stage.

More specifically, the only source the article even gives is a link to a reddit post with a screenshot of the tweet, of which doesn’t have a direct link to the tweet. This is half assed journalism at best, considering they even quoted the original screenshot wrong.

Edit: lol they couldn’t even get the person’s name straight. It changed from Robert Stevenson to Anderson after the email portion. Why’s this article even here?

I do not like to add AI.

I would not like it here or there.

I would not like it anywhere.

I would not add it in a handbag.

I would not, could not, in a car.

Not to a baby, not to a helmet.

Not in my house, Not on a mouse.

I do not like to add AI.

I do not now, nor ever will I.

Do you hear me Microsoft?

Take your AI and fuck off.

Dudes with long hair can get a real vibe. Francesco Paoli (Fleshgod Apocalypse) also nails it I think:

And in usual fashion, here’s a very cool song and music video. Sugar (youtube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmq3iyW02b8

First heard of Fleshgod when I saw The Black Dahlia Murder live. Nobody knew who they were, so they just walked up on stage, yelled “We are from the Italy!” and then went straight into playing. Such a great show.

I also thought Alexi was hot, but I’ve never heard anyone else say that until now.

Also Tosin Abasi (founder of Animals as Leaders), but I’d be shocked if anyone said he isn’t attractive.

Edit: some pics and tunes.

Yeah I have no clue on that honestly. I feel like I see that kind of thing happen on Reddit and here frequently enough, and my experience has not been seeing people get banned about it.

Because I was also curious. In short, I think it’s essentially saying shit that calls out advertising bullshit in an overt way while using the format that advertisers do.

Kinda like the magic glasses in the old movie “they live” but more colorful. Image for context:

Yeah the Steam refund 2 hour thing is just the no questions asked guaranteed refund window. You can absolutely request a refund outside of that window and they’ll be quite reasonable in most cases.

That’d be pretty funny if that was the case, because Craftopia (Pocketpair’s first game, released before Legends Arceus was announced) also did the monster collection mechanic in the exact same way as Palworld.

I’ll happily settle for any amount more physical buttons. It sucks to listen to music using my phone because I can’t skip, replay or pause songs without using the touch screen.

Hell yeah, sounds great. I haven’t played frostpunk (also on my wishlist), but I can’t really go wrong with city builders, and I love the theme. I appreciate the info!

Honestly sounds awesome. I’ve found that I love top down city builders (shout out to timberborn) and I really like the theme and setting of Against the storm. Love me some grim vibes in games. Thanks for the info!

Oh wow, I thought there was combat.

What are the RTS elements if not combat? Is it more “macro” level stuff like resource collection/ building/ tech?

I’ll definitely pick it up if that’s more what it’s about. I love RTS formats, but going back to starcraft style micro is way too much for me nowadays.

I dig city builders regardless though, and the roguelike aspect seems neat.

Against the storm has been on my radar for ages. How is it, and how’s the replayability?

Having a pull out cup holder seems insane to me, my personal rule is no drinks near my pc at all.

That said, I have a drawer in place of my cd drive that holds all my small peripherals (thumb drives, usb to sd card adapter, stuff like that) and it’s great.

It’s also a way to essentially say, “hey if we release paid dlc, you can’t call it a mod and release it for free”.
