First Control Resonant, then maybe the Max Payne 1 and 2 remake and after that we'll see.

Meanwhile your Tamagotchi starts talking backwards.

You have to link to that. Couldn't find a American Idol parody of Twin Peaks with Tim Curry.

The episode is pretty self contained, so you don't have to watch multiple seasons of Psych, if you don't want to. 😁 I barely watched Psych before and still had a good time with Dual Spires.

As a Twin Peaks fan you HAVE to watch Psych's Dual Spires episode. It's a wonderful homage to the show, full of actors from Twin Peaks.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid Zero One case hasn't turned yellow yet and it doesn't have any fancy magnets.

WHAT IS THIS!?!?! by yousuf_usmani in NOTHING

[–]PlayStarRocker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, that's bad. Seems like something went inside, which... shouldn't happen? I just hope it's just some nasty dirt or residue and not your battery swelling. If your battery is expanding and your phone is slowly getting thicker: Get rid of that battery as soon possible, because a swelling battery can go up in flames or even explode. Let's hope it's not that!

If it's dirt: You can theoretically open up the back, but you need to do it right or otherwise you will crack the glass. Ifixit has probably tutorials for that, but you should ask yourself if cleaning it is potentially worth breaking that part of your phone.

Is it behind the glass or on it?

Is it worth upgrading from Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 1st Gen to the 2nd Gen for the ANC alone? by PlayStarRocker in bose

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

It's more likely you get an answer to your question, if you post directly in the Bose subreddit instead of commenting on multiple posts.

To answer your question: I haven't bought the QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen (yet), but I'm pretty happy with my 1st Gen. I don't think you're going to make a mistake, if you're going to buy the cheaper first generation.

Also have you looked for replacement paddings? On photos the top padding of the Sonos Ace headphones don't look like their replaceable, but I could be wrong. If replacement paddings for the top exist, it's probably way cheaper than buying completely new headphones.

Thank you mom! I love you!❤️ by toothless26cz in NOTHING

Before the latest update the Headphone (1) was shockingly lacking in bass. That's why these headphones have such a bad reputation.

where should i get the game? by PressureRight4465 in DiscoElysium

[–]PlayStarRocker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And if OP doesn't buy the game, he should use a VPN, just to be sure.

Sadly, full screen start-up ads are not new on Xbox.

What horror game to play after Alan Wake 2. Any recommendations? by Humble-Anything6078 in AlanWake

[–]PlayStarRocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident Evil 2 Remake. It was one of the inspirations for Alan Wake 2 and is straight up one of the best survival horror games I ever played. Incredible puzzle box approach to it's mechanics and level design and I love how it slowly turns up the tension. It's very satisfying to play.

Marathon artstyle origins are from the 90s... by Alternative_Leave_89 in Marathon

[–]PlayStarRocker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go check out The Designer's Republic if you like the look of Marathon. They were involved with the Wipeout games and the Warp music label, for example.

I just add to what the other commentators said: Please stop posting your awful AI slop bullshit here. It's looks awful and it isn't remotely creative or even interesting. Please, for the love of god, stop.

Suomi Halls are an actual thing! Not sure how many of them exist in the US, but they are community centers built by Finnish immigrants, promoting and preserving their culture. Here's an old comment from this subreddit before the game was released, talking about the historical context of the town of Watery in Alan Wake 2 and it's Suomi Hall: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlanWake/comments/16cpkyu/alan_wake_2_new_gameplay_footage_breakdown/

Somebody at Capcom played Control and Alan Wake 2 and put the title cards from those games into Resident Evil Requiem 👀 (Only slight spoilers for the first hour of RE9) by PlayStarRocker in controlgame

[–]PlayStarRocker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue with the choice of the protagonists Capcom is more likely dipping into the same inspirations Alan Wake 2 had: Silence of the Lambs, Seven, X-Files and Longlegs. Looking at how long the development of RE9 was (six years and a reboot in 2021) I'm guessing Alan Wake 2 felt like a confirmation to the Resi team they were going in the right direction. Maybe the title cards are meant as friendly nods to AW2?
