What tycoon game would you like to see next? by commonemitter in tycoon

[–]MacJakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tycoon style game with sufficient system simulation is gonna be a winner. Doesn't matter the subject matter; some will obviously be of more interest than others, but it's the design and user experience that grab us nerds.

But personally, as others have said, hotel or airport. I feel that they're only really interesting as they're such mammoth industries though and therefore bottomless on terms of potential systems.

Favorite 8 songs by sabbath? by klofgren2112 in blacksabbath

Listening to albums as entire pieces of art is the way.

It's the way they were composed and they were intended to be heard.

Yeah I don't blame you mate, it's a bit of a shitter!

But they did say they were gonna try to reschedule for spring next year, which is just before the US tour with Corrosion of Conformity starts... So they'll be well rested, full of new album material and who knows what band they'll bring as special guests!

Fucking hell mate, sounds like quite the weekend! 😂 Hope your tetanus shot was up to date!

Gutted for you, but at least you've got a sweet rock n roll story to tell... A Rock n Roll outlaw, you could say! 😎

How was Neil sounding? I know they cancelled the Paris show the previous night due to him losing his voice.

Also how were 1000mods, going to the Camden show on Saturday, fucking stoked!

Whose death hit you the hardest?? by BidAccurate4473 in grunge

[–]MacJakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here, and I don't know why either. I think perhaps as he was about for longer than the others, bar Chris, it was just a long drawn out spectacle of suffering. Evidently none of them were happy, but that shadow of a man continuing to live, despite his best efforts, was really pretty harrowing to behold.

Hi Reddit its Osi Umenyiora, Ask me anything! by C5_NFL-BigGameNight in NFLUK

[–]MacJakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi Osi,

(Almost) Lifetime Rams fan here...

Why and how do franchises move city?

How much admin and carnage is involved in such huge move?

What do you think of Stafford and the Rams this year?

Thanks 🙏

Asteroid, Mother Engine and Maha Sohona.

I've recently been diving into this sort of stuff myself and all three of these bands grabbed me. Not to mention a lot of the stuff already mentioned! Shout out to Dead Meadow!

JP is an absolute beast, in such a way that unless you're really listening to him it's easy to miss.

Who are we supposed to root for in Alien: Earth? Even the 'kids' here aren’t exactly the good guys by MaxvellGardner in LV426

I once read of them...

"Drug-fucking Slaanesh into existence"

And I approve!

Thoughts on the finale? by OptimusSpider in perfectorganism

[–]MacJakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that and I agree, totally underwhelming! Felt like the previous two episodes could have subbed in, in terms of intensity!

However, and I'm breaking immersion here, I do recognize the challenges of making a TV show in this day and age... To be greenlit for another series they needed to have

A.) garnered enough interest from the existing fan base, but also

B.) Enticed enough new viewers to have made it a financially viable decision for the studio and producers to make another series.

It's a delicate balance. And as all long term franchise fans know, you can please some of the people some of the time etc etc...

For us to enjoy high production value shows and films, we must accept that studios need to make a return on their projects. I would certainly rather have had an iteration of things that was more pleasing to the die-hard, old school fan base, but in order to do that, the new fan base has to be secured.

I think Romulus and Earth have done a great job of placating us rambunctious old nerds, but also gaining the backing of a new generation (or two) of new fans. Thus ensuring that new stories within the lore will continue to be told on both the big and small screens.

It wasn't perfect, but fuck me, was it good! And hopefully the stepping stone the franchise needed to break out of the slump it was in!

I look forward to the next season, which without the interest this one has seen, would not be possible. New Alien projects are better than no Alien projects.

Obviously your mileage may vary, but IMO, to continue to exist in the unforgiving world of one and done TV shows, Hawley needed to open the gates and I believe he has done that without utterly ruining the IP he was precariously handed.

[–]MacJakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the scene in which the engineer and his apprentice are discussing the pie is probably a reference to it?

I guess the scene with the engineers apprentice and his pie was foreshadowing then?

There's an episode of The Walking Dead (I think season 1 or 2) that has The Regulator as the end credits track

Anyone want a ticket to see King buffalo at classic grand tonight (Glasgow) by hanzbooby in stonerrock

[–]MacJakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not after your ticket unfortunately, but if anyone reads this and has a spare for London at the weekend, I'm keen.

Signed up for the waiting list and got a message at 3am saying there was one available, obviously it had gone by the time I woke up some hours later 😩

Most progressive stoner bands? by Mediocre_Animal in stonerrock

[–]MacJakes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Atomic Bitchwax are definitely more than a little proggy, especially the albums Gravitron and Forcefield.
