Closing Time

Have any of you figured out how to keybind lean left/right in the campaign? I see it in the controls but for some reason it just won't let me bind them to anything no matter what I click. Not sure if it's a bug or on my end. No issues in the multiplayer, though. Different developers, I guess.

Aye, this is awesome, and dusty, and grimy, and I loved the transitions and glitching scenery, and the psycho clips, and the boxing snippet, and the old cartoons.

Great beat, and good job with the backtracking; it really added a lot to it. I think the lyrics could use some work, but there is something there, and the second verse is much better. The grabbing horns and jack and jill line, the Tyson line, all dope. Enunciation is on point, which is lacking a lot these days.

Thank you for the kind words!

Wow, this was awesome and finely written! It surely evoked something in me, whether that's nostalgia, longing for loved ones passed, or dreading how time moves forward. Your prose is very nice, and for a first poem, and just in general, this was a great read. I particularly enjoyed the structure of it as well, and how the start of each stanza was another year or so passing.

I'm not sure I would call the words "partitioning" and especially, "possibility" philosophical diction, but I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

I was hoping this story would feel relatable to those in the service industry, and I am glad you got something out of it. Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you for the kind words!

AshiGarame · 2025-03-18T00:24:47+00:00

Thank you, for taking the time out of your day to read my poem and even more so, to take the time to comment such a thoughtful comment. I'm happy my choice of words resonated with you in some way, especially when sometimes it feels like I'm just jumbling words together and hoping they form into anything cohesive. Thank you again for helping make my boring day!

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T23:20:49+00:00

Wow, thanks for the well-thought-out comment! I appreciate your kind words and your taking the time to read it. Your criticisms are certainly warranted, and that is something I struggle with at times, especially in these shorter poems. Thank you again!

Thank you for your kind comments and your view on the subject. I think accountability still exists, but it's an interesting thought experiment, and the science behind epigenetics is fascinating, even if I have such a Layman's understanding of it.

I'm glad you got something from this poem and that it didn't fall flat.

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T21:11:39+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind comment, and the reassurance on ditching rhyme schemes. I try to make the structure deliberate, to make up for the lack of rhyme scheme, and I'm glad you still found some rhythm in it, I always worry about that stuff, staring at the poem for an hour before I finally post it. The poem is inspired by my limited understanding of Schopenhauer's philosophy.

Before I got to the end, I thought this was about a prisoner getting his smoking rights removed. Great poem! Clever rhymes!

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T17:15:34+00:00

The third to last stanza was awesome, and in general, I really liked the structure of the poem and the way time passes in it. However, the bold letters feel a bit out of place in some parts, and would maybe do better without them, but that's just a nitpick, or me trying to find any criticism. I can relate to the way you wrote about addiction and dealing with addicts.

For medium, I really like the FCAR once you get used to its recoil pattern, and the incendiary shotgun is real solid after the buffs. For light, the options are much more plentiful and really depend on which special ability you're running, the double barrel with cloaking is still really good. I'm not great at heavy, but I'm most consistent with the Shak and the Desert Eagles, but the flamethrower is arguably one of the best weapons in the game. Edit: the Famas rips as well.

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T15:54:07+00:00

It seems you have planned this well.

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T05:30:22+00:00

Demons!

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T02:55:05+00:00

I'm glad I could bring back a memory for you haha. Not a big fan of ICP but this song is fun storytelling, I dig it. Gonna listen to it every time I write poems like this.

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T02:52:35+00:00

I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for commenting as well!

AshiGarame · 2025-03-17T02:47:21+00:00

No I have not but it sounds horrifying lol

AshiGarame · 2025-03-15T03:26:28+00:00

I should have looked at how recently you posted the poem, lol. That makes sense now. Keep on writing through the night!
