  • What are some hugely important music albums?

    Jump

  • Colors by BTBAM is probably the single most impressive prog metal album of this century. It really felt like the world stopped for that album, took it's time to digest it in full, then started over with a renewed sense of creativity.

    Periphery 1. Commercialized the sound of Skith and Meshuggah and popularized Djent as a genre.

    Exoplanet by The Contortionist dropped the same summer as Periphery 1 and it marked a clear line of Deathcore to Djent. Djent took over in full swing for about 3 years. Traditional Deathcore chased the trend or fell behind.

  • What song/band did you not expect to like - but ended up loving?

    Jump

  • Underoath. I was balls deep into deathcore and death metal when Underoath had their run. They were pretty lame at first. The whiny vocals didn't do it for me at all which is crazy considering I usually like singing vocals. Then I saw them live and was blown away.

    I had the opposite effect with Trivium. This was during their Shogun cycle. Saw them live for the first time and they were horrible. No bass, thin ineligible guitars. Matt missed notes left and right. The Crusade didn't click at all and Shogun had a couple good songs. I came to the conclusion they peaked at Ascendancy and stopped caring from that point on.

  • What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger?

    Jump

  • Walks. Like just for sunshine and air. It used to be I was out on a bike from sun up till sun down. You'd see the old people just walking and enjoying life and think damn, I'll never be that lame. Well here I am. No bike. Just my legs. They weren't lame. I was a dumb teenager. Walks are awesome.

  • Are you a 'do the good part first' or 'save the best part for last' sort of person?

    Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Space Engineers. I've never fought a running game as much as this one. Autosaving causes the game to hang for 10 seconds and it saves every 5 minutes. For a game made in 2013 I had to lower all the settings to medium and off to get a decent framerate. The first playthrough I barely got anywhere in nearly 20 hours of play. The learning curve is pretty high. I felt like Dr. Malcolm tapping on the screen yelling 'there is 'space in this game right?'

    All that being said I still enjoy it. The learning curve tapers off pretty quickly after the first playthrough. Now it's about learning how to build ships and experimenting with different part combinations. It's a clunky mess of a game, but I am enjoying it.

    That being said I also picked up Avorion as a comparison game. I also wish listed Empyrion to complete the voxel space epic trilogy. All this to find a game better than No Man's Sky and X4.

  • One distro for the next five years?

    Jump

  • Arch. Been 13 years on it. Aur and Wiki are the best resources any Linux distro have.

  • Which game have you been most patient for?

    Jump

  • Missing out on one of the best video games ever made out of fear of the backlog is ridiculous. Play it.

  • YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows

    Jump

  • Great, now I can't wait to E.Honda the shit out of someone's back.

  • How does the weather affect your mood?

    Jump

  • Quick winter days depress the hell out of me. I need a baseline of 12 hours of sunlight.

    Snow and rain. Love it. Takes all the pressure off of doing anything.

    Long hot summer days also depress the fuck out of me but I can mitigate that a billion different ways.

    Fall days are my comfort zone. I usually feel my best around September through November. The temp goes down. I can still wear shorts but it's also not mind numbingly hot. My birthday and the holidays fall in that period. Usually the middle of December when it's cold and dark by 4 my mood goes down.

    Foggy days make me want to carry a machete around and hunt monsters in an abandoned town.

  • How do YOU personally determine if someone is a good or bad person?

    Jump

  • Oh I totally get it. But when the pattern persists, it may take another's intervention to correct the behavior. That's opening up a whole new can of worms.

  • Is your life better or worse than your parents (I mean specifically your parents, not your parent's generation)? (Specify country)

    Jump

  • Worse (USA)

    At the age I am now(34) my parents had 3 kids and and a house. My mother was able to support us all on her salary alone. Dad worked as well and we were able to do whatever we wanted until they got divorced.

    I'm upto my nose in school debt, unemployed, and living at home with mother. So are my brothers though they work. One had a baby. The other is a recovering drug addict with severe mental problems. We've traumatized each other in brutal violent ways. That's a life I never want to bring other people into. Kids are out of the question until I move out. I just hope I'm not 40 and too late for that. Or worse dead.

  • How do YOU personally determine if someone is a good or bad person?

    Jump

  • If a person operates as if nothing is unconditional and they expect something in return or else you are deemed worthless, they're a fucking cunt.

    If a person continually makes a situation about themselves even when it's 100% not, that's a red flag.

    If they whine and complain to get what they want or have others do for them, they're a bad person.

    Jump

  • After XII for me. I liked 13 a bit but it did lose the magic of everything before it. Nothing in the 14-16 range is good. It's all just meh to me. Both MMOs are a non-starter. I just can't with that genre. 15 and 16 are Final Fantasy in name only. If they were called anything else I might buy it, but they're so far from what made FF interesting to me. They continue the Game Of Thrones royalty slop that Japan keeps pushing. Overwritten, over acted, overly long yet slow as molasses games. Wannabe Shakespeare levels of droning dialog don't do it for me. This is more a 16 criticism than 15. What's the least interesting aspect of Final Fantasy? Actually being Fantasy in genre. XII is the exception to that.

  • Yeah I hopped off this one too. It would be fun if there was more to do but how many times am I supposed to do the same loop before I can upgrade to a marginally different ship?

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

    Jump

  • Yup, me too.

  • This is a black and white view on backlogs. Yes you can just not buy a game when you're not ready to play it. That's not usually how it always plays out. Yes I do buy games while they're on sale and have been out for 5+ years. I buy games with the intention to play them. That doesn't mean right away as soon as I buy it.

    Most games I buy I fire up at least once. For the rare handful of games that I bought and never tried it's not a big deal because I only paid a few bucks for these games. If it doesn't click right away but I want to keep trying it goes on the back burner. If it doesn't click at all, I refund it. If it's a game I started and liked but fell off of for something else it goes in the backlog. Sometimes I just want a game in my collection. I know I won't play it right now but if I have the means to buy it, I'm gonna get it so it's in my collection and I don't have to worry about it later. That's a more rare situation and most games like that will sit in my Wishlist for years, but it does happen.

    Sometimes games do go away. Command & Conquer wasn't on Steam for years and then all of a sudden the whole collection showed up. Same as Dino Crisis in the last couple days. I used to have physical copies of the games but they got lost to time, be it giving them away to friends who wanted to play them, or losing them in moves, or selling them. Some of my backlog is older generation games that have been freed from their console shackles. They just announced MGS4 for PS5 and PC. I last played that game almost 15 years ago on PS3. I would love to play it again in the future. Even if I wait for a sale, I know I want it in my collection.

    Games don't always get cheaper as they get older either. Most Japanese games stay above $35 these days when not on sale. Even classics that are multiple generations old at this point. If I think a game is worth it at full price, I will pay full price.

    Lastly my Wishlist isn't just a catch all for games I want to play in the future. If that was the case there would be thousands of games on it. It's a little bit more curated than that. It's mainly for smaller games I do wait for because they're in early access. Most big AAA games on my Wishlist are waiting for sales. The majority isn't released or I'm waiting for reviews to see the quality on. Yes there are games I'm interested in but are not 100% sure I would play. That's why I cull the list every few months or so.
