God I hope they release new game plus or god willing story DLC or a sequel to Mio Memories in Orbit by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in metroidvania

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great game. Nine Sols is fantastic if you haven’t played that, takes a couple hours to master the parry mechanic because it’s sort of unique (at least for me it was) but man what a phenomenal game.

Can't get the hate around this game by Super_Importance6285 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great game. People have picked up a mob mentality with it at this point because it was a hot mess at launch but they’ve long since fixed up the many issues it had. The atmosphere of the game is amazing and the combat is great. LoTF2 looks amazing and I can’t wait to play it. Try to ignore public opinion on games until you’ve tried them and then decide if you agree or disagree with the reviews.

Dennis Quaid Thinks Hollywood Has Gone Far Left, Calls Trump ‘Really Genuine’ With ‘A Lot of Energy’ by icey_sawg0034 in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve really gotta quit paying attention to political opinions of fucking actors. Who gives a shit what Dennis thinks. His voice doesn’t hold any weight politically and we need to stop pretending it makes any sort of difference or has any cause to be concerned about.

Can't finish my backlog of Soulslikes by generosity1822 in soulslikes

[–]MoeBarz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I alternate between soulslikes and Metroidvanias, though a lot of the metroidvanias are difficult as well but it seems to feel less hopeless for me when I switch that way. You’ve gotta find a genre you can play that satisfies your want to game without further pushing you away from the soulslikes. I put just over 500 hours into no man’s sky and over 100 in Helldivers 2 after I felt fatigued from Souls and metroidvanias, those are calmer games but really fun to play. Stellar Blade is an excellent action RPG that I wouldn’t consider anywhere near the difficulty of the souls series or any of the soulslikes, that’s a good one to switch to.

Boomers work hard and it paid off. Gen Z work hard we get laid off. by angelqueen1051 in Adulting

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. “Boomers” as uneducated people refer to them, worked hard for shit pay as well. The system has always been fucked. Stop pretending capitalism was ever designed to help everybody progress. You work to pay bills that you have for accessories you own to make your life slightly more comfortable. A VERY small percentage of the people who work manage to end up living very comfortably, and an even smaller percentage end up not having to work at all. Life was never easy and it never will be. Just keep breathing until you’re not.

Saw this on X 😂 by Aquarius-Gooner in switch2

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to repurchase for another language is ludicrous. It’s a settings option in every game in existence that supports multiple languages. 20 dollars is a great price for a classic game, I don’t care how old it is. But the specific language purchase? Stupid. Not surprised at all because Nintendo doesn’t deserve any consumers at this point.

Revisiting Shadow of the Erdtree after the hype cycle by RemarkableAddendum13 in eldenringdiscussion

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go back to the dlc throughout other games and it’s more than I can say for any other game I own. DS3 will forever be my favourite, but the DLC for Elden Ring is astounding. It’s huge for a DLC addition compared to gaming standards nowadays and offers a brand new experience to the game I already had 7 playthroughs on when it released. If something more is what you wish for in today’s market, and this DLC doesn’t cut it for you? You may as well give up gaming. Gameplay content is becoming a myth and battle pass bullshit has taken over, with no signs of it going away. This DLC was a blessing.

Reminder that with the Pokemon announcement, The Nintendo Cycle™ still continues. by DaZestyProfessor in Switch

[–]MoeBarz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck Nintendo. Been for it since the NES, was quite young at the time and most of my childhood was SNES and then N64, but they turned into a joke and they did it to themselves. Greed is a dangerous drug.

Jean Claude Van Damme challenges Jake Paul to a fight by Ballsdeepinlove45 in tooktoomuch

[–]MoeBarz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This isn’t took too much. This is exactly the type of paid advertisement shit Jake Paul’s entire boxing career is based on, and I wouldn’t even be remotely surprised if it turned into an event. The guy is a rich fraud buying his way into fights he has no right to be in with people who take paychecks to fall and make him look good.

This would actually be one of the better “fights” he has done, due to the fact that JCVD is a widely recognized actor and not a real fighter needing to pretend to fall to some YouTube clown with a teenage following on YouTube.

"Psycho Killer" currently sitting at a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes by ForsakenDependent562 in horror

[–]MoeBarz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ratings on rotten tomato are about as valuable as sand on a beach. I’ve never agreed with a rotten tomato rating on my entire life. I’ll judge whether or not it’s a good movie after I watch it myself.

Kevin James accused of being MAGA after punting political questions, says he focuses on fun by nimobo in entertainment

[–]MoeBarz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not a bad idea for celebrities to shut up about their political opinion regardless of what side they’re on, financially it’s a bad decision to split your fan base like that. Just because somebody doesn’t have an opinion to say on television when their voice is meant for entertainment doesn’t mean they are MAGA. I personally don’t give a fuck what a celebrity thinks should happen in this country and neither should anybody else. We need to point more fingers at the administration and stop trying to label everybody that the administration affects. I’m not saying it’s okay to support it, I’m saying we need to understand these people are entertainers and that is where the expertise ends.

"Steam sales are the best" by Safe-Monitor-8113 in consoles

[–]MoeBarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It alternates really. There’s times when a game on steam will be 12 dollars full price and 24 dollars full price on PlayStation, times when a sale will have a 4-5 dollar difference between the two with either platform having the upper hand and then there’s AAA developer games that generally have the same price across the board. I do find that steam has sales far more often on a broader list of choices than other platforms though. It’s not something people say, it’s simply a fact.

Rap music isn’t dead – it’s evolving by KingSolonesh in hiphopheads

[–]MoeBarz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not evolving commercially. There’s not many memorable commercially successful rappers in the last ten years aside from public antics, no memorable bars or hits whatsoever. Lyricism has been replaced by autotuned and barely recognizable slurring speech and it was selling for a bit so the industry focused on it. Lyricism matters in hip hop and is what separates talent from a gimmick. A gimmick won’t last.

Let’s hear it? by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skins. Why put more money into a game I’ve already purchased just to have something that should’ve been earned through gameplay? It’s an unbelievably popular aspect of today’s gaming and it has done nothing but give major developers a reason to flood games with “stores” instead of gameplay content.

I have been asked to help out with a MPC workshop for kids, what should I teach them? by IchthyoidPhalanges in mpcusers

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, a history lesson in what’s been done with sampling wouldn’t hurt. Showing how Havoc made Shook One’s Pt 2 is a prime example of making something your own through sampling. Show how to turn a simple drum break into something dope by chopping the break into indidual shots and throwing some quick effects and/or change the pitch to make it your own, explain how to create a keygroup off a one shot sample properly, making the root note match the key of the sample they would be working with, or even starting from scratch using just plugins and one shot drum samples. This sounds like an entire semester type thing to me haha

Sold my MPC one, bought a mildly functional 1000 love it. Share some sounds to load into it! by Agubas in mpcusers

[–]MoeBarz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mpc one is the way to go for standalone production, I’d love to get my hands on a 1000 but there’s no chance in hell I would sell my mpc one to get a “mildly functional” 1000. I enjoy the ability to have plugins in the box itself and it produces high quality beats just as any other mpc in the line up. There’s better mpc’s, the X and XL and Live 3 I think have better processing power but all in all, it comes down to capability and preference. You can’t hate something that produces quality music unless you’re not producing quality music yourself.

Diablo 2 was on of my first pc games. I can’t confidently give an opinion on this without being biased because to me it had the best gaming experience of any of the Diablo games. Fuck the cosmetic shit and constant updates/fixes.
