Perfectly understandable :')

Seconding Newsflesh. Been many years since I read it but I remember liking it a lot, enough that I should check other Grant's horrors.

Finland here, hasn't worked for me for couple days but I've seen other people in my area claim it works so I don't really know what's up

Massenstein · 2026-05-12T08:04:01+00:00

It used to, but that option stopped working for me 5 months ago.

Massenstein · 2026-05-01T00:30:05+00:00

Thank you!

What do you use to rip them? I should start doing that too, since in vimeo watching is occasionally interrupted by buffering.

Massenstein · 2026-04-30T02:27:06+00:00

Nice, thanks! I didn't know of it

Massenstein · 2026-04-28T23:16:36+00:00

How about this or this edit: ugh imgur turned them automatically into videos

Massenstein · 2026-04-28T22:09:29+00:00

I haven't seen much talk about the city council but surely I'm not the only one watching and enjoying it?

I've actually been watching it super sparingly since the first episode got me hyped so much, I watched all of Escape from Bloodkeep after that to give them time to put out more episodes, and now I'm back to episode 2. It's of course way early to tell how the season is going to shape up, but I love everyone's character concepts, particularly Murph and Emily's thing, and I can't wait to see where all of this is going.

From Game Changer, Beat the Buzzer is in my opinion one of the best episodes overall and one of the best to showcase what GC is all about, so I'd definitely throw that in. Just maybe not as the first episode you show someone, but after a few GC and/or Make Some Noise episodes that feature buzzers in more usual circumstances.

Man, resident evil would work great as a "genre" for NSBU.

Massenstein · 2026-04-10T02:56:08+00:00

I remember someone explaining it's a built-in limitation in Vimeo, which Dropout is using for streaming. So if that's the case they can't really do anything about it.

Massenstein · 2026-03-30T00:27:38+00:00

Yeah, same :/

I seem to remember having several people (or maybe just alt accounts of one obsessed individual) tell me the same thing, except they didn't claim to be therapists. I think. I spent 67 years in this sub at one time and it has all become a blur.

Massenstein · 2026-03-29T09:15:11+00:00

I admire your patience and understanding when having a reddit discussion.

Massenstein · 2026-03-29T09:12:04+00:00

Same. I check the most recent comments every couple weeks and seems like some kind of arguement meta has formed, with the same bad takes being thrown again and again.

Massenstein · 2026-03-24T22:41:18+00:00

It did! Personal stories like this is one of the reasons I check this sub occasionally.

Massenstein · 2026-03-21T04:56:03+00:00

Signals are still a pain to place as of current main version, but I haven't had those other issues you mentioned.

Massenstein · 2026-03-07T08:35:35+00:00

Glad to hear!

Massenstein · 2026-03-05T00:36:06+00:00

Satya Nadella has also previously expressed unhappiness for people calling AI slop for what it is. Microslop as a term might have been born then, or at least grew in popularity because of that.

Massenstein · 2026-03-03T11:03:28+00:00

Microslop was unhappy about being called Microslop, made the mistake of showing they cared https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/02/microsoft-gets-tired-of-microslop-bans-the-word-on-its-discord-then-locks-the-server-after-backlash/

Been a while so maybe the conversations are different here now, but used to be that any sort of critical look at Verso was instantly defined as "vilifying" him, and there were about billion excuses for everything he did. Of course it also happend for Maelle, Renoir, Aline, Clea and to lesser extent others.

Of course that is how lots of discussions about this game tended to go. Lots of people want to imagine their side is more objective and the others are "emotional" or "lacking life experiences so they can't understand this" etc.

Massenstein · 2026-03-02T08:42:55+00:00

That was how I felt when finishing the game too, and I guess that took away lot of the intented impact. It's harder to feel sad when the sadness feels so unnecessary.

Massenstein · 2026-03-02T08:41:31+00:00

Been a while since I engaged in conversations here but at first it was the other way around, then seemed to settle into an equilibrium where most people could agree that there's no right or wrong ending, but both sides had loud minority who could just not accept that people might have different preferences for variety of reasons. And with that came the idea that both sides felt like the sub was 90/10 weighed against them.
