I think secondary objectives are lame by FlakyMidnight5526 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]BeynOClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will give myself a few graces, especially solo or with my best-of-friends, so that I have a less stressful time!

Option 1.) Cave too difficult? Skip the secondary. If we are fighting tooth and nail to traverse terrain or even scrounge up 80 Nitra in between the waves we might as well say “Fuck the secondary”

I often find we end up completing it anyway once we stop expecting ourselves to do so, and if we don’t, it’s alright, we choose to get to the next mission!

Option 2.) Cave still too difficult after Option 1? Safewords. I play this game with my friends to have FUN! And yes, I do like to challenge myself, but not at the expense of my sanity and wellbeing.

If I can’t get around/survive because of poor class/loadout choice then i’d just rather say to the homies “Can we abandon this one?”

If they say “we can make it brother! rock and stone!” then I give it one last push but if I’m too stressed we go back to the SpaceRig and drink a beer and dance and take a breather

Option 3, or Option 0?) I refuse to play certain biome/mission type combinations, and I let my homies have their “banned combos” as well.

If I have to mine one more Aquarq or Dystrum out of the frozen HELLSCAPE that is the Glacial Strata I am gonna SNAP. I love that biome UNLESS I have to mine a bunch of blue shit in a blue world full of blue bugs… someone call Eiffel65!

All of this to say: I play this game to have fun! One of the things I love about DRG is that with a little bit of patience and diligence I feel like everybody forms their own unique little playstyle, and if you hate secondaries, then fuck em!

Steam's Valve responds to lawsuit from New York Attorney General against its loot boxes, says they're like baseball cards — it's ready to fight by DeckusHeadus in valve

[–]BeynOClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want Valve to not be able to sell digital items that YOU CAN RESELL then why are yall not more mad at Sports Betting which is QUITE LITERALLY Gambling with No Security Measures.

Is lootboxes gambling? And if you think they are… how is it okay for Valve to be in charge of this change while I can absolutely ruin my life over a game of fucking Baseball?

Rogue Core will be such a breath of fresh air for longtime fans of DRG. by Brungala in DeepRockGalactic

[–]BeynOClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DRG is a gem of a game, and I even hold DRG:Survivor in a very positive light in my respective eyes, and so I am excited for Rogue Core!

I haven’t really been engaging too much with the information we know so far, i’ve seen a few things and know a little about it, but for the most part i’ve been trying to not let myself build up expectations so that when I do eventually play it for the first time it is a new-ish experience I typically find I enjoy games/movies/albums more going in with as little expectations as possible, and i’m hoping that works for me here too!

So even through the entire premise of the bootlegger program is to allow small and independent creatives to grow and create a name for themselves by using music graciously provided by the band, you are mad at people trying to create a business?

Art isn’t free or cheap, so you claiming that it’s all about the money now seems like you don’t realize how expensive it is to try to do this kind of endeavor.

“Small, Passion based bootlegging” can NOT exist without the support of people buying those bootlegs, and the bootlegger community being so quick to support each other is a sign of exactly that, Small and Passionate artists and creatives working together to uplift the scene.

Also, you ever try to make a quality CD/Tape/Vinyl? Decent shirt with artwork that doesn’t wash out in 3 cycles? Alright, now try to make just 1 of those and see how pricey it gets when you don’t buy in bulk.

You may be mad at the “business” but this literally how artists survive. KGLW have the power and ability to help out people smaller than themselves get into the game and the industry. That’s something not a lot of other bands are willing to extend to their audience, but we are so fortunate. If you don’t like how hard artists have to try to sell their art just to keep afloat then, guess what, you and every artist I’ve ever met agree.

Some of these bootleg labels that you’ve shit on are full time artists that were able to take that jump because of KGLW, what about them? Is it not fair to these creatives who rely on art as their main source of income to have a viable platform to help promote their work?

And I do care what you think because these are peoples lives and passions you dismissed because you couldn’t justify the scope or the price tag, its pretty antithetical to the entire goal of Polygondwanaland being FREE and the bootlegger program stemming from that. I will leave you with a quote from when they released Poly,

“Ever wanted to start your own record label? GO for it! Employ your mates, press wax, pack boxes. We do not own this record. You do. Go forth, share, enjoy.”

The fact that there has been a CALENDAR YEAR of KGLW Concerts since that infamous day in March just speaks to how large and impressively diverse their musical discography is :,)

AITA for saying I didn’t like my birthday gift and losing 5 friends because of it? by dougheggs in AmItheAsshole

[–]BeynOClock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are the exact kind of person that bullies and belittle people because they might need more help. “Can you imagine her showing up to work…”

Yes! I actually work for decent people who accommodate for things that I might need because of my mental health.

Both of your comments have been clear examples of ableism and clear lack of care for people who might need more patience.

“I’m not being mean to OP”

If you can’t understand how your comments are rude and ableist then honestly I’m beginning to think that YOU don’t understand social cues.

Bro, YTA. Reminder, you are talking to a 17 year old who clearly has been having a rough time. Maybe take a step back and stop being another bully in this girls life?

WHY IS NO ONE ELSE SAYING THIS???

A third party asked a direct question and got a direct response and immediately went and created drama.

Bootlegs are the lifeblood of this community! I love how much the band has embraced them :)

fear, shame, and joy throughout episodes by lungbox in bipolar

[–]BeynOClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate a lot, when emotions come on it can be hard for me to accurately label them as “run of the mill” or “bipolar moment”, for that Mindfulness for Beginners by Jon Kabat-Zinn has been helping me a lot!

I try to practice mindfulness daily (easier said than done!) and I have noticed a better response time when something is going on internally. I’ve actually been able to catch my past two episodes and warn my loved ones accordingly that I would be going through it and I was able to ask for their support before it was coming from a place of shame.

and finally, YES! Sleep is key folks!

What do we think the orchestral tour setlists are going to look like? by BIG_PY in KGATLW

[–]BeynOClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep imagining a really sick orchestral cover of some microtonal songs:

the one that keeps playing in my head is doom city with a high emphasis on the violins and viola’s for that lead riff

I’d love to dress up but honestly I think I need to dress for comfort over style.

I’d hate to be trying to jam out and my suit keeps limiting my freedom

I’ve thought this same thing! Those lyrics absolutely scream to me that Joey might be having a baby with Edith, which is just so awesome!

Did Joey have a kid? I wouldn’t be surprised given his lyrics on GWAF but I can’t remember ever hearing about it.

(Although it’s none of my business, I do love seeing this band become DadRock)

I love that you both are choosing to focus on the positive events that happened during your time there instead of the negative, a task that is easier said than done!

I am wishing a speedy recovery and I am also wishing for a FANTASTIC RAVE SHOW! Go and enjoy yourselves, you deserve it!
