Official Microsoft controllers were absolute peak with the Xbox 360…

…but modern Microsoft Xbox controllers have absolute dogshit build quality. Just the worst, constantly breaking for no reason. I’m just done with Xbox controllers because old DualShock 4’s are cheap and quality.

For a minute, I thought this was Geto Boys - Still

Die motherfuckers, die motherfuckers, still

I got a killer up inside of me

I can’t talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary

We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine

And the machine is bleeding to death

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues

This kind of goes for all the Mountain Goats songs about The Alpha Couple.

Soon:

Who hides in a Pineapple from the FCC?

EDIT:

Most wholesome outcome.

…and once again, warnings stating “DO NOT BUILD THE TORMENT NEXUS” go ignored.

Another series worthy of discussion!

You know, you bring up a really good point, honestly.

My friend had a similar complaint about Baldurs Gate III.

“Why so much body horror and gore? When I was growing up and playing DnD, we were never exploring that kind of stuff. DnD can be so much more than just body horror and gore.” Not verbatim, but you get the idea.

As much as I love BG3, I don’t actually disagree with his sentiment at all.

There should be an opportunity for people to play similar style of games that aren’t so gory or depressing or both. Not every stealth game needs to be cyberpunk and depressing.

Or any area of your body where there’s a lot of blood vessels near the surface of your skin.

I like standing in a cool shower and letting the cool water run over the front and back of my neck.

Wet T-shirt and sitting in front of a fan.

We naturally cool our bodies by sweating.

You can sort of hack that process by getting a t-shirt wet, putting it on, and allowing the moving air to help speed up the evaporation process.

WARNING: NOT FOR USE IN HIGH HUMIDTY.

Adding more water to an already hot and humid situation risks a Wet Bulb.

System Shock 2 is begging for a remake with actually functioning netcode for multiplayer way more than the original.

Bioshock would eventually iterate on this, but the RPG systems of System Shock 2 are so, so deep, and I always appreciated that you could still get attacked by enemies while trying to hack machines. It made doing things like hacking feel very dangerous. Bioshock literally pauses time for you it’s so weak by comparison.

Top-tier writeup. The original will always hold a special place in my heart but Mankind Divided was an excellent modern interpretation of similar systems of gameplay.

I never asked for this.

Everyone needs a Gary in their life.

I’m happy to be the Gary for my less technically inclined friends. Their lack of knowledge would get me kicked off private trackers if I invited them so they could curate their own collections, so it’s just easier to be the guy who makes it easy for them.

Be like Gary, sharing is caring.

This is fantasy, who cares. Lots of non-US-born people have been suggested and a bunch of fictional people got suggested, so whatever, you know?

I’d take Ali G Inda(White)house.

Like… which scene groups or individuals?

Don’t really have a particular favorite, although Subsplease is pretty snappy for anime if you want it as-it-releases.

Otherwise, for groups focused on US/UK/European media, whatever’s got the quality range I’m seeking and preferably a season pack all from the same group/same quality.
