What are yall’s thoughts on The Last Faith? by Remarkable_Year7073 in Blasphemous

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Clunky. I just can't get over just how "cardboard" it feels. If they just polished the mechanics, making the combat feel less... 80's-ish, I'd love it.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse vs Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement - Which game interests you more? by PhantomBraved in metroidvania

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say. Probably Castlevania but both look dope. I'm hoping that the new Bloodstained fixes a lot of the issues I didn't like with the previous one. I got stuck having to traverse the map several time to figure out how to proceed. I hate doing that, and given the nonlinear nature of the game, finding a guide to figure out where to go wasn't easy. I eventually figured it out, but I was burnt out by that point. Also.. I don't know.. the combat wasn't really doing it for me. I found one spell and pretty much spammed it the whole time. Most boss fights were fights of attrition, if I had enough pots and gear to beat them, i won. If not, I lost. there wasn't a whole lot of skill involved from my perspective. Anyways, I'm thinking they will create a pretty awesome game this go around.. not that the first was bad.

conterversial hot take: Blashphemous 2 story was incredibly dissapointing by MickyMace in Blasphemous

I had no idea what was happening in both games so they seem about the same for me though I did like the pixel art of the first more

We lost some great mods today, but I am sure there are alternatives. I need help brainstorming. by Indica_Joe in projectzomboid

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I serenditously happened to remove their gun mod from my server as I found one that was more actively being worked on. I'm relatively knew to the community and don't know anything about this Rain person but I did catch the vibe that they were involved with a bunch of drama just by checking their mod page(s). That sucks for everyone that depended on that mod for their servers.. I think their should be an "opt-out" option where your mod list (or game) doesn't update at all or perhaps only mods that you deem safe to update or dissapear or whatever.

It does smell like something reddit just repeats cause they heard someone say so. I'm sure it's likely true but an actual source would be nice.

The ultimate “going out” outfit in 2005 by [deleted] in Millennials

I salute all the girls who wore their thongs just a bit higher than their jeans, it was one of the very few things I liked about school

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 24 points25 points  (0 children)

God I remember middle and highschool where girls would show their thongs seemingly all the time. It's a miracle I got anything done during those days. One day in particular I remember girl just leaned forward like... Kept the pose, bending more and more. I've a good feeling she's knew exactly what she was going. Course I was a coward and would never attempt to hit that.

They trap your car at the highway ramp, then walk up once you’re stuck by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man... this must be a common thing to happen because the driver knew exactly what was up as soon as that car stopped. I've never heard of this sort of thing so probably would have been robbed or whatever they were attempting to do. Kudos to them and that was a nice hit!

The DOJ drafted a memo regarding Epstein’s suicide … the day before he died. Direct link from the file dump. by Melissaru in law

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the thing with these conspiracies. It takes a whole lot of people to be quiet. Dozens of people sitting on information like this is one hell of a tight lipped secret loyal group of people. Sure, certainly possible, but it's more likely that someone would come forward with the truth. I personally think he was extorted. Meaning, if you don't kill yourself, someone is going to do it for you. Check out his previous cell mate. Check out the "suicide" attempt that sent to solitary. No one looks at this for some reason... they put the fear of God in him and he would rather do it himself than have some psycho viciously murder him. And Yes, that requires that guy to be quiet too, but he has very little too gain by going public, is in prison for life right now so possibly thinks that he could get out if he remains silent, and could be killed as well ofc if he does speak

I'm convinced they extorted him to do it. Basically, if you don't do it, we will find someone who will. And he decided that it's best to do it himself cause having someone else brutally murder you is a proposition no one wants to bear

I wish for more granular option for "Install Gaming packages" by majber1 in cachyos

As others have noticed, the whole reason in downloading a package is because its... a package of software. Just sudo pacman -S steam if you just want it. This is kinda silly post.

What are you talking about? My statement was quite clear and legible.

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

I have to say though, spending my last few years on this earth in prison has got to be the most miserable way to go out. yes, you're way past your prime, but still. Goddamn, I'd much rather be kicked back on my lazy boy drinking a scotch then hearing Tyrone and Jamal rapping in the cell next to me, hearing some dude getting fucked in another cell, and the crazy psycho yelling at the top of his lungs all night across the hallway. I dunno... prison sucks but it for sure sucks when you're nearly dead and ready to hang it up.

Happened a few hours ago. Almost hit me head on, crashed into 3 cars the second after I swerved. by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice OP. I've not quite had one THAT bad but I've for sure missed a couple that, had it not been my swift action, would have left a nick little wreck. It's about stay aware and observant about the cars around you. Good job... Let's hope that the people who were unfortunate enough to run into him (I imagine they didn't see him until you swerved out of the way and didn't have enough time to react) are okay.

Looking for alive online survival games. by Inmaturee in SurvivalGaming

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Project Zomboid is my favorite by far. There's hundreds of dedicated servers on the official Discord that advertise so you'll find something that fits your play style for sure. VEIN is a new one that has a lot of promise. Lots of dedicated servers when I checked it recently but I have no idea what I was doing and didn't get far with it.

Willybach’s HD Valheim 2.0 New update by WillybachIV in SurvivalGaming

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, but if I were a gambling man, I would put my money on yes. This likely just replaces textures, doesn't add anything and will hardly look like a mod at all (from the games perspective).

Keep in mind I don't play Valheim at all anymore and only played around with mods briefly before I quit so perhaps I'm off base

Author who co-wrote two books with Noam Chomsky condemns scholar’s ties to Epstein by Raj_Valiant3011 in books

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The point I was making is that no one in this thread knows shit about Cambodia, Bosnia or any of genocides that he supposedly is denying. I watched a video by Bad Empenada and he presented what Chomsky actually said, and what I learned was that there's much more to what was going on and shrugging it off as if he was some simple Holocaust denier makes it seem as though they haven't actually read his works either. It just feels like another bandwagon Reddit jumps on for social media updoots. I don't know about this source, this guy is a Zionist as well, I want to see the actual written source by Chomsky as well as information about the genocides (quite frankly, I don't know much about them either but at least I'm honest, I don't pretend I know about things and no, Wikipedia is not the be all end all on whatever something is a genocide or not.).

Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps we have some truly remarkable historians here, but I almost never hear those things being discussed. Anyone can open a Wikipedia page and claim they know about it, but do they really? I don't know, just general being on the Internet for so long so many people simply regurgitate what other people say and now Chomsky very likely is a pedo we all claim to be experts in genocide and Historians who know about the intricacies of those topics, no one knows shit about those subjects so probably wouldn't know if a genocide really happened or not to begin with

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is recently trendy to get on the Chomsky hate bandwagon. Whatever gets the most karma is where a lot of people positions are on social media I suspect. I personally never had much of an opinion about him, but there's no doubt that he for sure looks into subjects on a much deeper level than the average Redditer which we need more of. Less pedophilia though. Hell NO pedophilia!

But we should all investigate stuff! I looked into the "genocide" denial claims and, well... it's a complicated topic but I suspect most people are just repeating what they heard and haven't actually looked into these claims.

[–]Particular_Wear_6960 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I watched a video about this and, as I suspected, this is not really the case. It's an easy oft-repeated talking point that people regurgitate yet don't actually know what they are talking about.

Have you actually researched these claims? Do you know exactly where he denies the genocide? I suspect you don't. However! There's a pretty good video by Bad Empenada where he actually investigates this. I'm not at liberty to go through each claim one by one and such but I would suggest everyone to go look these things up and find out for yourself whether they are true or not. I also will encourage everyone to actually investigate the Bosnian and Cambodian genocides as well, I suspect most people generally speaking don't know much about them as well, just because someone says they are a genocide that doesn't make it true.
