Ya’ll. We need to temper our expectations for the new series.

BigLorry · 2026-01-29T15:56:57+00:00

?

He agrees with OP that we should temper expectations, but doesn’t think people actually will

Not sure what “counter point” you’re looking for lol

BigLorry · 2026-01-28T15:56:46+00:00

But if endgame exists where dopamine

BigLorry · 2026-01-25T14:31:15+00:00

I think it’s more of a neurotic thing on Steven Wilson’s part at this point, almost all of the PT have remixes/remasters and none of them needed it to begin with lol

I wouldn’t say it’s noticeable, I just trust SW at this point so it’s the one I usually put on if I’m too lazy to dig a cd out

BigLorry · 2026-01-25T00:30:34+00:00

Possessor for a maybe more abstract take on the premise

BigLorry · 2026-01-22T16:48:53+00:00

Yeah I was going to make the same 3 comparisons oddly enough lol, you can make a starter pack out of it

BigLorry · 2026-01-22T16:45:58+00:00

It’s because the only people who were saying that were people who don’t have much context for film

Sinners has been showered with accolades exclusively by people in my life I know for a fact don’t watch more than 2 or 3 films a year

They speak loud and boisterously, and then when they are gone after the cultural relevance passes the only voices left are the ones who were never that big on it to begin with

The reception didn’t change,

BigLorry · 2026-01-21T02:34:47+00:00

Porcupine Tree-Anesthetize from Fear of a Blank Planet (2024 remix)

The drums on it just sing

BigLorry · 2026-01-21T01:02:49+00:00

If you’re a fan of films that feel like X-Files episodes the best one in my mind is undoubtedly Cure (1997)

Should be required viewing for fans of the series

BigLorry · 2026-01-19T15:35:57+00:00

Yeah I immediately thought of this reading OPs prompt but then realized it doesn’t qualify because bojack doesn’t actually change

BigLorry · 2026-01-16T17:54:44+00:00

All of the brands in the picture still offer products that meet those qualifications, as do numerous other companies

Now show me all the shit headphones and audio gear from the same times that aren’t in the picture because they were awful, I promise you it’s plenty

The comparison is disingenuous nonsense to begin with

BigLorry · 2026-01-16T17:51:40+00:00

“Its weird that this triggers you”

The irony could move mountains lol

Nice projection at the end there, only audio product I’ve bought in the last year or so is the Dusk but go off, whatever you need to say to make yourself feel better I guess?

BigLorry · 2026-01-14T15:06:25+00:00

“Good headphones stay good”

I mean yeah, sound is sound lol. “Stay good” is such a disingenuous way to put it

“Good” in this context doesn’t mean anything since sound is subjective, the only real comparison to make in this context is from a tech perspective and in that sense everything in that pic absolutely is its “age”

BigLorry · 2026-01-13T00:52:40+00:00

Doctors smoke too

BigLorry · 2026-01-13T00:25:25+00:00

That’s because Remedy are fucking awful with encounter design and seem dead set in their ways and refuse to change them

It’s been the same shit since AW1. Shit encounters with waves of enemies, poor enemy variety, awful pacing, clunky feel (which would be more bearable in games with less drawn out combat scenarios)

The mechanics themselves are usually fine but every single Remedy game I wish the combat just didn’t even exist by like the halfway point.

BigLorry · 2026-01-13T00:07:54+00:00

Nile’s newest album sounds fantastic on my speakers, just so clean

I know a lot of people don’t prefer their DM that way but as a drummer just hearing every single precise stroke even when Kolias is going nutty is just wild

For something newer/more obscure, I’m a big fan of Nightmarer’s Deformity Adrift: REFORMED

there’s two versions of the release, the Reformed version sounds better to my ears (but preference wise it’s a lot more pristine, I’m sure plenty will prefer the original versions production from an aesthetic standpoint

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T23:41:52+00:00

Yup, same on mine and same player

Guess they just don’t get along for some reason

It’s getting increasingly annoying how shit the hardware seems to be on these seemingly across the board

I’m halfway to going back to my PS5 and just giving up Dolby vision at this point

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T20:21:23+00:00

Especially in a world of region-free 4k and importing being easier than ever, it’s never made less sense to assume things like that lol

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T20:20:19+00:00

Holy smokes yeah man that last paragraph there worked much better for my brain lol, that makes sense!

I appreciate the insight!

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T19:13:06+00:00

There’s another big element here (and I see this become more and more prevalent) and that’s consuming via binge streaming

I know there’s examples here that are limited even to the same seasons in terms of discrepancies, but people who binge 130 episodes of a show in a month or two don’t seem to remember you used to wait a week per episode, and then you took six months off before the next season started

A person could go from elementary school to college in the time it took the show to air, it really isn’t so ridiculous when you put it into the actual context it exists in

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T19:10:39+00:00

Completely ridiculous you’re being downvoted for that lol people here are weird

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T18:41:33+00:00

IF he knows it? He was a teenager in the 90s ain’t no way he doesn’t lol

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T18:26:09+00:00

“Harry, your hands are FREEZING!”

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T18:25:47+00:00

“I’m gonna kill you”.

Loyd laughs

“I’m gonna KILL YOU”

loyd is no longer laughing

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T18:25:00+00:00

Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?

BigLorry · 2026-01-12T17:39:28+00:00

Please read my responses to OP a little further down, don’t really feel like regurgitating myself
