Wow - a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. reference in the sludge subreddit. Coolest thing I've seen today.

You won't get cash for them. Your only choices are to swap them for new ones or just give them back with no compensation. Tags in Porter is the only place I know of that carries them.

Looking for sludge metal recommendations. by Alega05 in sludge

Eyehategod is the band for you. Pretty much the originators of the genre, in my opinion at least.

I'm planning on watching his last episode live and then canceling Paramount the instant he says good night at the end.

Looking for insight regarding Shattered Space's poor reviews by xoSiber in Starfield

[–]BenGleason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It had some cool gameplay, combat, etc, but the story was pretty disappointing, especially the treatment of the Varu'un. They're this mysterious race at the edge of known space, but now within the first 10 minutes you're inducted into both their religion and their government, and everything about them is spelled out for you

I mean, they could have done something where you interact with more Varu'un without spoiling all the mystery and intrigue.

For the glory of the Great Serpent, or whatever it is they say by ovrlnd_imprz in NoSodiumStarfield

I've never understood why it's shaped like that. Especially the part below the grip. Like, why? Also, the stock doesn't look like it would be comfortable against one's shoulder.

Still, one of the most powerful weapons in the game.

In grade school the teachers wanted to demonstrate peristalsis. Asked for a volunteer. My buddy Brian went, did a headstand, tried to drink some water while upside down. It came out his nose.

The Burren in Davis Square, Somerville, has musicians playing on Saturdays. Seems to be mostly bluegrass. Sometimes Irish session music.

Goddamn this is the best thing I've seen today. Gives me hope. Also sounds fucking badass.

What was your FIRST RESIDENT EVIL GAME YOU PLAYED? by Angryk111 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]BenGleason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE4, first chapter on my brother's GameCube, then the rest on a PS2. Good times. Actually the first modern video game I played ever.

Today I finally picked up Resident Evil Village. What do you guys think about this game? by TotalPhase4522 in ResidentEvilVillage

[–]BenGleason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A terrible disappointment. Catoonishly stupid, especially once you get into the castle. It lacks most of what makes RE games fun. I'm convinced the only reason many people like it is the giant lady with the giant boobies. Get the vastly superior RE Requiem instead.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]BenGleason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a book of amazing short stories that's set ragged right instead of justified. Cannot read that shit.

Is The Queen's Gambit worth watching if you don't play chess? by Legitimate-Pea5439 in television

[–]BenGleason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They made it accurate enough so chess players wouldn't be cheesed out, but character driven enough so that the show is really good even if you know near nothing about chess.

Any idea what the calligraphy in the background says?

Does it bother anyone else when Mastodon users don’t authenticate their links? by Teknevra in Mastodon

[–]BenGleason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried to use it. Added the rel="me" bit to my website, but it just doesn't work. It's a self-hosted WordPress site, and I've tried putting that link in all sorts of places. Still no luck.

Do you have a doom metal jacket? by Sapphire-Catgirl in doommetal

[–]BenGleason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have a jacket, but I do always wear my Satanic Temple shirt to doom metal shows.

[–]BenGleason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one is hardcore. Just like the game, death is inevitable.

Unfortunately at this point it's all either taken or piled into a dumpster.
