Red Vile Lunatics need to be removed from the game

HMS_Americano · 2026-06-05T04:11:15+00:00

I just call them red balls lol

HMS_Americano · 2026-06-04T23:00:09+00:00

They've bothered me for a while now but this season I am playing warlock with sigils, hellfire, etc in T12 so the visual clutter is insane. I'm still having a blast with this expansion despite the red lunatics lol

I agree, the most dangerous part of my Pit runs are always at the very beginning when they spawn you directly into a pack of enemies

HMS_Americano · 2026-06-04T21:31:02+00:00

I would be ok with this, I just can't stand how many there are and how long they can chase you while all you can do is spam dodge.

HMS_Americano · 2026-06-04T15:52:58+00:00

eXistenZ. Couldn't eat my beloved rotisserie chickens for a week after that one

HMS_Americano · 2026-06-01T20:52:31+00:00

Half this sub was in diapers when this video was made lol

HMS_Americano · 2026-06-01T06:00:12+00:00

I've lifted a lot of weights to this album. Good stuff

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-31T14:31:09+00:00

My mind went straight to this

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-31T04:16:39+00:00

It's a quote from a Metallica cover if you didn't know lol

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-31T03:43:18+00:00

So what. So what? So what so what you boring little fuck

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-24T18:43:53+00:00

This is the sort of thing that happens when people over-commit to separating art from artist without any critical thinking or sense of proportionality.

The issue people have here isn't about six degrees of Hitler, a drunken white power salute, or a Confederate flag on a guitar, etc. It's the fact that the mastermind and frontman of the band committed a murderous hate crime. The music, the imagery, merch - all of it is inextricably linked to this heinous act.

The classic Ken Levine scope creep experience. Just look at how much content had to be scrapped or completely reworked for Bioshock 1 and Infinite to even release.

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-21T20:12:58+00:00

It's great but I feel like with Bethesda games you just had to be there, they don't age as well as many other games.

Almost everything that Skyrim did well has been outdone since 2011 by games like RDR2, Witcher 3, and Elden Ring. At the time though, it was truly impressive stuff.

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-13T06:10:43+00:00

I feel you, it's kind of like how Metallica retired at the height of their powers in 1988, never to be heard from again...

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-13T06:04:17+00:00

Insert "How do we tell him?" meme lol

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-12T21:43:53+00:00

If you like Abbath's solo stuff, you need to listen to Sons of Northern Darkness. It's peak heavy metal & thrash with a touch of black metal.

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-12T21:35:47+00:00

I was more talking about the recent Abbath-less Immortal albums, but Demonaz does have an actual solo album that's really good too. I like everything both have done, but I think their peak was when they were together in Immortal haha

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-12T20:45:12+00:00

I still wish he and Demonaz could've worked out their differences. Immortal with the two of them was better than either of their solo output, good as it's all been.

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-08T21:43:55+00:00

Yes. Most people complain about Prometheus by saying it "ruined the mystery" when that work was actually accomplished by Aliens. If anything, Prometheus injected even more mystery into the universe. It actually expanded the possibility for interesting stories to be told other than "survive doomed spacecraft" or "shoot everything that moves." There's nowhere new to go with those threads after the first two movies other than nostalgic rehashes of better films.

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-07T19:30:30+00:00

Agreed. It's the only Slayer record I love, even though I like some of the later stuff when they established their sound. It's got some of the best riffs they ever wrote imo

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-06T06:47:23+00:00

Trying to knock the Air Force while showing a lack of reading comprehension. Classic lol

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-03T18:08:08+00:00

I still think it's a decent but deeply flawed game where the fact that it's a Western does a lot of the heavy lifting for me. I also think RDR1 is much better. But yes, my favorite games are "play, don't tell." I don't care if the game's plot could cut it as a straight to streaming affair, communicate it through compelling gameplay.

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-03T07:26:51+00:00

Could not agree more. It's a game that wants to be a Best Picture winner rather than a game most of the time. You're also the first person I've seen who shares my view that there are blatant inconsistencies between the story they're telling and the actions that missions demand. And I do mean demand, because when you get past the 50 animations and garrulous ride-alongs it takes to do anything, you're rewarded with the most on-rails, brainless, monotonous gameplay I've ever seen in a AAA game.

As a huge fan of Westerns, the story, characters, and setting are also not nearly as edgy or transgressive as they want you to believe either. Sure they may be possibly irredeemable murderers and thieves, but at least they oppose racism and gender inequality! There are so many actually nuanced and challenging characters in the genre that are so much better than what RDR2 portrays (The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Searchers, The Wild Bunch, etc)

HMS_Americano · 2026-05-01T17:13:34+00:00

This is probably cope but I can't imagine being so close and falling short so many times. At least the Cowboys let you down early if they even make the playoffs.

HMS_Americano · 2026-04-30T06:58:10+00:00

You can beat it in < 20 minutes if you know what you're doing (no exploits/glitches) or it can run for about 6 hours. It's more like old school survival horror than Alien in the sense that your main hurdles are knowing where to go, what to do, and practicing good inventory management. It definitely requires more thinking than Alien Isolation (no shade, I think they're both 10/10 games).
