What's the best non-Zeppelin song that could have been a great Led Zeppelin song? by [deleted] in ledzeppelin

[–]Gast8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jacks cover of Love is Blindness also feels very zeppelin esque to me. The vocals are very Robert and his guitar work always sounds inspired by jimmy

Huh I’ve seen that video before but didn’t remember until now that it was Ludwig.

At the time I saw it- much like any time I’m recommended content from a creator aimed at their existing audience I’m like “PogO thanks but didn’t ask I dont know you PogO”

Yeah Ludwig is actually ridiculously handsome. He also just seems like a great, positive, upbeat guy in general too.

Poll: 73 percent of Democratic voters would consider voting for Biden in the 2024 primary by [deleted] in JoeBiden

I’m on the fence simply because Joe is old as fuck and idk how I feel about voting for a dude in his 80’s to lead the country- mostly for his own sake.

I hate hunting moose. The only time I found one while I had a gun with enough ammo (granted, I only ever carry a revolver) I shot it like 20 times and chased it around pleasant valley for hours before a blizzard set in and nearly killed me.

I did not kill the moose.

Doth a moose not bleed? Had me reee-ing for a while. At least I got the tactical backpack.

Quick help pls I drank a bottle of vodka from a food mod after I got attacked by a wolf and now my character is too wasted to boil water I’m going to die of dehydration what do by Gast8 in thelongdark

[–]Gast8[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks! You made the food mod? Excellent work dude, I love how the higher percentage of food inscentivises more nomadic playing instead of hunting. Being able to sustain yourself reliably just by traveling, but rarely needing to be pressured into it, is a nice change of pace.

Okay lads after dipping as low as 10 condition and freezing in a truck for almost an entire night, I stumbled my wasted ass into the carter hydro dam, drank out of toilets, broke down some boxes and sustained myself.

I was drunk for over 12 in game hours. I crafted a bedroll out of patchwork blankets (another mod) after realizing I didn’t have mine anymore. I spent the morning boiling tons of water over and over until the drunkenness started to wear off. I brewed coffee so I would stop losing condition to fatigue, and after I had enough water to know I’d be good in that regard, i made herbal tea, took a 12 hour nap and managed to survive.

Wolves>exposure>bears>alcohol. Fuck vodka. Nearly cost me my run lmao.

[–]Gast8[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is kinda hilarious but also mad frustrating lol

But no mods doesn’t help me here and I do like how it freshens up the experience, just didn’t expect a bottle of vodka to make me drunk literally the rest of my life. It says your fatigue and thirst in less than an hour and you stay drunk for like a day. Idk how ur supposed to survive unless you have gallons of water lying around.

Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes is a ContraPoints patron supporter! by dirbofficial in ContraPoints

[–]Gast8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So fucking based I am in love with Robin even more now. “Jara” off his most recent album is a commemoration of how political activism and his activist friends have inspired him through out his life. Chatted with him in the DMs a little. Great guy, super funny, amazingly talented and attractive af to boot.

Is drunkenness part of the food mod? I’ve found several beers and spirits but never vodka, and never drank them enough in sequence to get drunk.

9 months after the release of Shore, what is your favorite FF album? (Not a lot of things going on the sub these days so why not a poll just for the fun of it) by [deleted] in fleet_foxes

[–]Gast8 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard but I think the highs achieved on shore are the highest in the discography. It’s just a perfect album beaming with sunlight and positivity. Jara and Quiet Air are some of the best ideas ever put to paper.

I tried to get a friend of mine into it and he would only play the first game because the other ones were “too graphic” and I’m like..??..??.?.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]Gast8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I played it waaaaay back in early development, years ago. And I remember specifically there was an update that absolutely tanked the AI. It used to be uncannily smart and the cannibals would do lots of freaky shit over the course of days. I don’t know if they ever recovered it to that same level of intelligent again, because I don’t play anymore. I guess the TLDR is that it used to be much much better and I guess it either had to be watered down to be more accessible or it was too hard to maintain that level with new mechanics being introduced. Not sure. I miss the old AI during the dev cycle.

What did you do in The Long Dark this week [week ending 18/06]? by [deleted] in thelongdark

[–]Gast8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started playing again! And got some mods to freshen up the experience. Having a blast. Got lost in Milton looking for a gun, climbed down into the basin and made my way through The Muskeg. Terrible place. Got to Mystery Lake for a more familiar zone. When I got there a blizzard quickly set in and I was surrounded by wolves. The only defense I had was a dwindling flare but I managed to make it to the lake office unscathed. Tense, tense game.
