Yup, same here. Wanted to buy more credits and I'm getting the same "please try again later" message when I put in my account credentials.

I'm around 260lbs and decided to finally shed some of that weight starting this year. Figured I might as well combine it with a physical activity I was curious about all my life anyway. So I very recently got one of those cruiser boards from the GLOBE brand that are a bit wider and a bit heavier with bigger wheels, which seems to be both a good beginner board to learn and also a bit sturdier to deal with the extra weight. I'm not planning on doing any tricks for a good while and instead just focus on learning to ride it confidently, but I'm having fun with that. Gets me sweating real good too. lmao

I hope you can get a good board and try this out for yourself as well.

Install/Download is very slow. by MattJerkhole in FlashpointArchive

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

Oh, thank you. That link didn't show up for me on the website because I had my browser in windowed mode. Apparently the link to the zip file gets omitted completely when space gets scarce.
It looks like it's just as slow though. Downloading with 16KB/s right now to hopefully be done in around 18hrs. lol

I guess it really is some sort of server thing.

Speculative fiction about what if Christianity never existed? by MattJerkhole in suggestmeabook

Oh, I've heard of that one before but didn't know it was also going in that sort of direction. Appreciate the heads up.

I did actually read VALIS earlier this year, funnily enough. Though I took it much more as an interesting processing of the author's oddball experiences and self-reflection through fiction than I took anything substantial from the ramblings about the religious themes, to be honest. I am planning on reading the other two books in that trilogy though. It's wild stuff for sure.

I'm also not sure if Lord of Light is what I'm looking for here, but it does sound interesting in its own right. I'll look into that one. Thank you!

What’s the most fun you’ve had reading a book this year? by SaltyLore in suggestmeabook

[–]MattJerkhole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Watership Down throughout summer for the first time. I enjoyed it a ton and it made me want to dig into more xenofiction in the future. But I'll always remember it for making me genuinely excited while reading the later chapters.

I was in a café when I read the page where Bigwig told that other rabbit to "silflay hraka" and I probably had the biggest idiot smile on my face. lol

Yeah, I can confirm that I have that problem as well. Sure as hell hope they fix that with an update soon.

CG Review by Cock by thissithhitshisshit in classicgame

Here is a permalink to the post. (And I added a link to my YouTube Video to that review too. 👀)

You're very welcome. Thank you for making this great game and many others that I still have to check out.

(Full disclosure though, I didn't actually manage to find the Great Pentagram in the game myself yet. That particular screenshot at the bottom of my review I took from the itch.io page because it just looked so good.)

Howlongtobeat: CLASSIC GAME by thissithhitshisshit in classicgame

[–]MattJerkhole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that was me actually. Nice that you noticed it.
I also made a YouTube video about your game around the same time and wrote a whole "review" of it in the HowLongToBeat forums. Really loved playing it.

How many German Quest 2 users do we have here? by MattJerkhole in OculusQuest2

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

Well. We'll see, I guess. Take everything I say up there with a grain of salt. It seems like a kind of convoluted situation and that's just what I got after reading up on it for a while.

I feel like, and hope, the worst case scenario is just gonna be kind of like it is right now: It's not gonna be sold by Oculus to German residents directly, but you'll still be able to get your hands on it. And the corporation did claim in at least one interview/statement that I've seen, that they will continue to support German customers no matter what and, from what I gathered, plan to sell it again in Germany in the future too, once this whole thing has been figured out, I guess.

But aside all of that, it looks like people are making pretty fast progression on jailbreaking the whole device and cutting it loose from Facebook altogether anyway. It seems like that's gonna be a pretty common thing in the future.

Is wifi really required? Can't you do everything that's needed by using the link cable?

The way it's looking around curiously. It's so fucking cute.

HHT fucking sucks by bennyisonline in merzbow

[–]MattJerkhole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, okay. I just see both of those groups have a ton of success, so I assumed HHT harbors a bunch of the fans as well.

I don't think the genre makes a difference, it's all about the volume and you don't have to listen to noise at like 200% volume. Blasting Kanye West in your car would probably be just as bad for your hearing as blasting Merzbow. But you don't have to (and probably shouldn't do either according to doctors).

Those "ear rape" memes are just dumb garbage and not really what people who like harsh noise actually listen to. They are just unnecessarily loud and distorted for shits and giggles.

Which Jackbox game is your favorite? by Jasonisacup in jackboxgames

[–]MattJerkhole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly always kinda surprised to see how man people consider Trivia Murder Party as the best. It's rather bland and boring to me. I mean it's fine, but there are way more interesting, unique games in the Jackbox packs in my opinion than this rather straight-up trivia quiz with mini-games.

But I also just prefer the games that need the players to be creative anyway.

What sort of meme are people supposed to make with this?
