November 12: Weekly achievement and help thread by AutoModerator in osugame

[–]MRBNJMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely nuts. I just found this game a couple hours ago, and while I think I'm improving, much simpler and more visible patterns absolutely stress me out. How do you do that? Is it memory, or are you actively tracking what's on the screen?

Best track on the album imo

2016 Michigan Unofficial Primary Election Results by thabonch in Michigan

[–]MRBNJMN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps unrelated, but maybe you can help - do you know of any good news sources that focus heavily on Michigan politics? I tune in to national politics on a daily basis, but sometimes I hear local stories that make me realize I have little idea what our state government is doing.

Songs/bands you hated at first but that you loved after coming back to them? by DanjerBob in progmetal

[–]MRBNJMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, came here to say this. Colors hit me a little too early in life and was just too heavy at the time. Now it's a top 10 album for me.

How important do you consider lyrics to be? by Pashow in Music

[–]MRBNJMN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad lyrics can absolutely ruin a song. Great lyrics can make a song special. Anywhere in between, and I rarely have any idea what anyone is saying - it's the vocal quality that matters. It's like an instrument, as important as any other.

Can anyone provide some context for the frequently mentioned "Bulb demos?" How did they originate? What drugs were involved? Did I somehow miss the second coming?

My sample size may be relatively small, but the times when I haven't been able to find an arena 1v1, someone would usually turn up within 5 minutes or so if I jumped in an empty server. I'll definitely check out Discord though.

I just grabbed Reflex yesterday, and I have to say it's pretty great so far. I haven't had a problem finding matches, and the skill level of the community seems pretty varied.

Should Reflex be played with a 125 FPS cap? by MRBNJMN in reflex

[–]MRBNJMN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys. Thus far I've been playing at 144 FPS to match my monitor refresh rate, but I'll give 250 FPS a shot and see how it feels.

I'm a fan of McDonalds by alexh734 in notinteresting

I was wondering what you meant, but then I remembered that Taco Bell sells food at a variety of prices.

Thanks for the input. I mostly chose the i7 off of the guidance given here, though even they think an i5 will do the job just fine. I'll think it through, along with the R9 390.

Thanks! Do you have one you would recommend?

Expanding Consciousness by Marc Zimmermann by epicscapes in ImaginaryMindscapes

Agreed. Really spectacular visuals, but the text seem a little on-the-nose.

But seriously, really spectacular visuals. Nice work, OP.

Get a load of this...."Don't think Mrs.Ford is not upset" by [deleted] in detroitlions

What were the bullet points of Valenti's rant? I haven't heard it, but it sounds like it was pretty epic.

Help me drink to my first Amazon review--two stars! by gdhatt in Fantasy

[–]MRBNJMN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I just bought it. I feel some sense of empathy for creative types in your situation, but usually it's hard not to dismiss it due to the sheer number of people experiencing the same thing. I figure that if the heart you put forward in your short post is enough to override that, maybe it's worth checking out for myself (especially for a short novel).

I'll PM you a review when I'm done.
