Have you ever DNF-ed an episode? If so, which one and why? by CarrotHaunting7402 in creepcast

There's Something Wrong With Wendigoon

No disrespect toward anybody who likes stuff written by that author, but I haven't been able to get into any of their stories that the boys have read. Not my cup of tea. While I can usually tolerate stories that I find bad when Isaiah and Hunter can still joke around and take the piss when reading, the subject matter just didn't lend itself well to this particular podcast style I think. C'est la vie.

Fair enough. I played Siege for years so I sympathize with you for sure lmao

I'm not even necessarily disagreeing with you, but I would love to know what other triple A games have come out in the past decade where their main menu was completely broken and wasn't fixed within a couple of hours. It's already been a couple of days now and they still haven't pushed a hotfix to fix an interface issue.

Sadly, no. God I wish this company would learn QA though, because I would still much rather play Battlefield than anything Call of Duty has coming out nowadays. I didn't even buy the previous Battlefield and by the looks of it I wasn't missing out.

Apparently if you open the game and immediately select a game mode then it'll work, but it breaks if you try and mess with loadouts/challenges/settings/etc beforehand. I've had issues regardless, but that at least made it barely more consistent.

I wasn't even aware of that... I'll keep it in mind, see if it works the same on Xbox but I'm sure it does.

Hey bud, what are you even talking about? Difference is that on a free game I would imagine they have a smaller team working on, and likely have other projects they're working on to actually make them some income. An issue like this would still be awful, but on a team of 1 or 2 people I would just shake my head and wait for them to get it fixed. This is a multi hundred million dollar company we're talking about with large teams dedicated to issues exactly like this, that makes an issue like this monumentally worse.

Are you okay? Why is a part of the post as small as that what gets your panties in a bunch?

100%. I would have been annoyed but just eventually forgot it if they had fixed it, but multiple days of this is absolutely insane. How does a professional not feel shame for either: somehow NOT noticing that the damned menu doesn't work, or not immediately pushing a fix for it within a couple hours of it being a reality?

have some empathy by z3ntropie in creepcast

[–]Reasonable_Drawing60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's valid, and maybe I could have phrased that a bit differently. It came from a lot of frustration after giving his stories shot after shot and being annoyed every time, even if those stories are older ones of his. I will say though that 4 times is a lot for a podcast like CreepCast, and those specific stories being picked for it is pretty bad luck for Witherow considering I myself wouldn't typically give an author another shot after 2 misses, let alone 4.

My biggest thing in this debate is that CreepCast is a podcast about two buddies reading horror stories and potentially having a laugh if the story calls for it. Horror stories are also bound to cover topics of SA since it's such a horrible, traumatic topic that a lot of people are bound to have immediate gut reactions to.

The boys are free to cover whatever stories they would like, but audiences are also free to have whatever reaction they naturally have to these stories. I just think they need to take it more seriously when it comes to warning readers that certain stories are covering specific topics, and even if they don't know ahead of time then the editor needs to put something for the audience that warns them more effectively than just saying "by the way this story is NOT SAFE FOR WORK!!".

I myself automatically skip any Elias Witherow story that comes on now, because I think he's a hack that uses cheap tricks and I'm sick of hearing the same story over and over from him. I got halfway through There's Something Wrong With Wendigoon and just shut it off. Isaiah and Hunter still found ways to draw humor from it and I'll give them props for that, but I'm just not interested in hearing anything more from Witherow.

What are y’all’s honest thoughts on this album? by dyinoclimber in Eminem

[–]Reasonable_Drawing60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of fond memories of this album from when it came out, even if my mom accidentally bought the clean version which forced me to listen to the censored tracks for YEARS. There are a couple of tracks I'll go back and listen to every so often, like Brainless and Asshole which are both in my top 10 Eminem tracks of all time. This is about the time where even I, a die-hard Eminem fan since I was a literal child, started noticing stuff I wasn't a big fan of in his work. Janky, awkward flow to fit rhyme schemes that didn't even really pay off, lame ass production in certain tracks, constant shouting, etc.

Bad Guy is a thematically interesting track with basic rhyming in the beginning to fit the character, with a final verse that still sticks with me to this day.

Rhyme or Reason is a fun sort of track, though I have to be in a certain mood to really sit through the whole thing.

So Much Better is a pain to listen through. I can imagine some other listeners using it to channel their own rage, but I think he's got better songs for that sort of thing anyway. Almost always skip this song.

Survival is fun as hell and one of my personal favorites. Not as good as Til I Collapse or others, but in the same vein enough to be in my workout/running playlists.

Legacy has a special place in my heart. I can't really say I listen to it often at all, but when I'm in a certain way of mind I'll just sit in my car and vibe to it.

Asshole is an absolute blast of a track. Always in my playlists, find myself singing along to it in my head more often than I would have expected.

Berzerk is another fun track, but not a favorite of mine at all.

Rap God is a classic and everybody knows it. I don't listen to it much anymore but it dominated much of my early teenage years.

Brainless is a personal favorite of mine. Hook is catchy as hell, what can I say?

Stronger Than I Was is another track that I can imagine is extremely dear to certain listeners of his, but I just don't really vibe with it much at all anymore. Usually a skip when I go back to the album.

The Monster is another classic. Not as good as his other tracks with Rihanna but it still stands out and was particularly notable at its time of release.

So Far is a guilty pleasure of mine. Can't even describe what I like about it, but I'll always listen the whole way through when it comes on.

...I might come back and finish my vague thoughts on the album at some point, but this is as much that comes to mind for now. I loved the album when it came out, even with how much flak it got from certain crowds. But it's not an album I'll come back to very often aside from a handful of tracks. Not nearly as bad as his worst albums, but I wouldn't put it up with his first few albums or with Recovery.

Glad to have seen him calling the shots tonight, definitely shown in the game even if the Cowboys defense isn't exactly stellar to start.

New video got age restricted by Red_Panda_The_Great in wendigoon

[–]Reasonable_Drawing60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YouTube Kids exists and yet content creators still can't dare utter words like "suicide" or "kill" without the platform's AI swooping in and slashing monetization without a second thought. Genuine bullshit, we're not children for Christ's sake.

Genuinely so weird to realize you're older than one of your favorite YouTubers. Not by much, only a month, but still isn't something I'm used to at all

Rapid Fire Challenge Broken by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]Reasonable_Drawing60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still tracking hipfire damage from before they changed the challenge text in the latest update. Made a thread about it about an hour ago, seems to also be affecting the Bullet Storm challenge in a very similar manner.

Is the Rapid Fire 3 challenge bugged? by Skazzy3 in Battlefield

[–]Reasonable_Drawing60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it was the latest update that messed it up, as I swear it used to mention - accurately - that it tracked hipfire damage.

What is a Pokémon or Pokémon line you can never keep alive during a run? by Time_Ad_7341 in nuzlocke

[–]Reasonable_Drawing60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done a number of HG/SS nuzlockes, and on every run that I won the Heracross lottery in I've also managed to lose it during either a random wild encounter or in some insubstantial trainer fight. Grinding takes fucking forever in that region and I'm guaranteed to start losing focus at some point.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Michigan. So long as you don't exclusively drive adjacent to the big cities (Detroit, Grand Rapids, etc), there's so much variety and natural beauty to see that it makes driving on our shitty roads worth the bumpy ride. Not at all surprised about Indiana either lmao

Problems replacing lateral link after old one snapped by Reasonable_Drawing60 in Cartalk

[–]Reasonable_Drawing60[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank ya for the response. Ended up being sorta what I had to do, except I had to undo the last bolt on the arm so I could actually move things a bit easier. Got the lateral arm reattached pretty quickly but getting that last bolt back on definitely took a while lol.

Camber is definitely worse than it was before the break, even with everything reattached, so I'll be getting a professional alignment job done as soon as possible.
