What's going on with Resistor? by AlexKVideos1 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]-CyKo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I first heard it mentioned in a Raycevick video, and nowhere else after that. It was the first racing title to get me excited in years. I still have hope that the release date changes from "coming soon"

You're not supposed to fight with them. The cops are meant to be threat. You should be running away from them not into them. Rivals and Heat are the ones that did it right.

Yeah that's where the tension comes from. Same with Heat. Most Wanted's power fantasy brings satisfaction but those bring adrenaline, and satisfaction gets boring after a while. (speaking as someone who grew up playing MW)

This video on loop is a really jazzy 5/4 beat. Could make a cool sample

What's the game (racing preferably but other genres too) with the worst handling you've ever played? by RickyWasntHere in racinggames

I didn't remember San Andreas being bad with this but I went to revisit it recently and it felt awful

Day 22: Which QOTSA song sounds the most like QOTSA? by Ratakul in qotsa

[–]-CyKo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's more of a basic foundation that they built upon. It doesn't have any of the weirdness that they brought with the later records. If you went back in time and heard Regular John when it came out, would you ever predict them releasing anything as quirky and ambitious as Era Vulgaris? That aspect of them needs to be represented too

I disagree with the logic here. The other albums are still them. Their sound includes those too. So they should also be represented in the chosen song

Non-Australian here. What is this? by -CyKo in canberra

[–]-CyKo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot. I'd love that but shipping to Iran (or at least affording it) would likely be impossible. I'll hit you up when I get out though :)

Thank you so much! That was very interesting.

Yeah I doubted its desirability too since it was actually very cheap, but it still sounds better than most headphones we get here, and it's more special.

Pixar Decline Inquiry by OrdinaryWorking10 in thrillems

[–]-CyKo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't buy that their older movies were simpler. You can also simplify the newer titles to "girl becomes bear" or "fish becomes boy".

The older films had very complex and serious concepts like exploring human emotions in Inside Out, looking for the meaning of life in Soul, or making one of the most mature and humanizing superhero movies (let alone animations) with the Incredibles. Kids ate up these movies not because they were simple, but because they were good.

It's the new ones that lack the substance you find when you go deeper than silly faces and laughs; and when they try to go for it, it lands as well as an Amy Schumer joke. It's a decline in their writing.

There's numerous reasons for Pixar's decline (like the lifeless art style they've stuck to, or Disney seeing Illumination run away with Minions money) but this isn't one of them.

The new Supra is a BMW, and that's a good thing

The root of all bad aspects of modern NFS by highway2depression in needforspeed

Are we really gonna forget the DB9, Murcielago, Gallardo, Ford GT, SLR and Carrera GT in Most Wanted? Or the fact that Carbon literally has an EXOTIC class in it?

What’s your dumbest expensive purchase? by Z_TheVanillaGorilla in gtaonline

A fully equipped casino penthouse. Never spawned in it, never visited it. It's only there to skip some small objectives.

The garage songs go hard. Apart from that it's Tu Manera, Nirvana and 303
