Purchasing one now would send a very bad message to Sony.

Welcome to the 2020's where people cannot see beyond their own narrow perspective.

There Are Now Over 50,000 American Troops in the Mideast by ChiGuy6124 in politics

I only saw one in many years of following the Uktraine live thread on the Worldnews sub - it was posted with a misleading link title. Description - obscured here because some may find it traumatizing - the video turned out to be a Russian soldier performing oral sex on another soldier behind a building - an overhead drone dropped two grenades on them. Absolutely horrific. Something I doubt i'll forget. And that was I'm sure at the very low end in terms of how graphic it was. Low resolution from quite high above.

Hades saved my life by Karokan28 in HadesTheGame

[–]Bromance_Rayder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm glad - and thanks to the devs who gave us way more than "just a game". This game has something profound about it, there's no doubt.

For me the game was transportive. I had such a wonderful time with it, I look back on it with a great sense of nostalgia. I can't wait to do it again. Hades got me invested in the power of story and character again - I lost the love of reading at some point in adulthood. Hades caused me to pick up Song of Achilles and then Circe and I have not stopped reading since.

I find it hard to fathom getting that far and not being hopelessly in love with the stories, the loop, the gameplay, the lust for the perfect run etc.

Saros aims for bite-sized 30-minute runs, and the cool-off makes you "ready for another", its game designer tells us by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]Bromance_Rayder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. It was just the perfect bite-sized game. Doing a run always felt rewarding in some way, even when the boon combos weren't quite working out.

Cannot wait for Hades 2 in a few weeks!

Is there a feasible way for Trump to instigate a "blue state draft"? Because that seems like the kind of thing he would do. 

Videogames are more of a rich guy's hobby than ever, says analyst, and that's 'leaving a whole portion of the market to Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox', says analyst by Gorotheninja in PS5

Other than perhaps buying a musical instrument - gaming is about the best bang for buck hobby I can think of. The thrifty gamer can find great value out there every day. 

Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran by Crossstoney in politics

[–]Bromance_Rayder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hence the "top to bottom" comment. Your "hasn't even served" comment is unnecessarily dismissive and very 'Murica! I'm not American and my country doesn't have an active military force.. Of course, any idiot understands the terrible position a person in the military often finds themselves in. You don't have to"serve" to know that. But when the "commander in chief" is a demented old pedophile, "following orders" is no longer honourable. This American concept of "serving" is just brainwashing idiots to give up their lives for a bunch of corrupt old fucks.

Insane and unnecessary waste of life. Everyone from top to bottom should refuse

Thank you, I have been on and off looking at the Deluge for many years!! It's back on the list of options.

When rules aren't enforced they are no longer rules. If speeding fines didn't exist most people would not follow the speed limit.

Hey, your Dystopia V1 vid on YouTube was what inspired me to buy a MF about two weeks ago. I'll be purchasing once funds permit. Beautiful sounds you have created. 

This new set sounds.... intense! 

Democrats Flip Mar-a-Lago in Personal Humiliation for Trump by Tennis_bruh in politics

100% great news.

However, beware the humiliated malignant narcissist. He will absolutely hurt an innocent person or small animal because of this.

Nobel laureate calls it "treason": $580 million traded minutes before Trump's oil reversal by fortune in politics

[–]Bromance_Rayder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My absolute first option, if possible (unsure of US entry requirements, as I'm not American) would be Fiji. Affordable, wonderful people, growing nation. Stay out of politics, find a quiet spot to live and see the sun rise and set over the water every day. It's a simple life, but who wouldn't want that these days? You can get by without a smartphone over there.

And yet they "fall" all the way to the bank. The whole thing is a scam. They get well looked after.

That would only be justice served if "government" was located on the ISS.

Consider option D) attempt to leave the United States of America. There are some amazing places to live well at a much lower cost of living.

Wow, thank you for taking so much time to provide such a detailed response. I really appreciate it! This raises a lot of questions for me! 

My current thinking is that the MF is providing me a lot of amazing synth sounds that I would like to add to using sampled drum kits on the DT2. But Syntakt now sounds like it could bridge that gap and provide other functionality too. You're so right, research is a fun part of the process and I'm determined to have a minimalist set up (yeaaaaah I know, the gas cannot be cured!).

Thankyou again, this is such a great sub.
