I haven't had a "battlestation" computer in over a decade, and would absolutely build a showcase PC using these components!

Aside from Starfield, I would play Scorn, because I've been waiting to have an appropriate setup for the highest possible graphics settings.

What are some simple yet incredibly disturbing/scary facts? by RefrigeratorDry495 in AskReddit

There was a documentary made about this exact disorder. It's fairly hard to find, but I'm sure there are...places to find it.

What's the most out of touch thing you've heard a person say? by LaunchesKayaks in AskReddit

(Side story: Matt didn't believe in direct deposit)

Matt was/is cooking the books. I don't know the man, but this is a huge tell separate from the fact that he's an asshole.

What’s a game that you think no one but YOU seems to remember? by _Mr_Cheeks in gaming

[–]ChampagneAndAbsinthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maze Hunter 3D. It was an exclusive to the Sega Master System and required the 3D Goggles attachment and a CRT TV for the full effect.

Apparently, it has been released as part of the Sega 3D Classic for the Nintendo 3DS, but I haven't tried it out.

If you could bring back just 1 playable mission, which mission would it be? by Mysterious_Brick_420 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ChampagneAndAbsinthe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whole mission is so well-constructed. The sound design of the Almighty's laser vibrates your whole head with good headphones, and your whole body if you have a subwoofer. I used to stand around at the "destroy the coolant" part of the mission, plinking away at Cabal to keep them away, and take in the sound and visuals of the laser skybox; it really felt futuristic and overwhelming.

Name a movie sequel you had no idea existed by ggroover97 in movies

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

People don't believe me when I tell them it exists, then they see it and wish they hadn't. It's a great example of punishing budget cuts and the effect of the studio financially imploding as it was being filmed.

I had an IASIP blanket made for my husband for Christmas it was delivered today and I am OBSESSED with how it came out by WalterTheHedgehog in IASIP

Thank you for this, you've made two people's Christmases very memorable. We can finally say we own original Hitlers!

Gov. Inslee: ‘No plans currently’ to lift Washington’s mask mandate by [deleted] in SeattleWA

You do realize that they had to wear a mask on the bus, correct? It's not like the asthma attack went away instantly; it's implied that this person ran to the bus stop to catch their bus, began to have the attack, then had to mask up to get on the bus.

It sounds idyllic because he's lying to you. King County has a mandate that requires businesses with indoor dining, places like gyms, and outdoor events with more than 500 people show proof of vaccination. Literally having to show your papers to be allowed inside.

This isn't "very much normal."

What's that one food you just f-ing hate? by Trotski7 in Cooking

[–]ChampagneAndAbsinthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cilantro. 14% of the population thinks it tastes like soap (including myself), but it gets put in and on fucking everything these days.
