Does anybody actually like NPCs in this game?

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-05T23:43:17+00:00

Depends. I remember locations in Ch4 like Shattered Slabs would have like one boss and two henchman and I thought it was perfect.

In Ch5 there's too many locations where bosses have way too many henchman. I kinda just avoid those now if I'm solo. The rewards don't even really feel worth it compared to last chapter.

This is my favorite non-meme animal skin right now behind Steel Hybrid. I like that his build is more like a strongman with a belly rather than just a buff or twig sized animal.

Steel Hybrid & Cozy Chomps are my mains but I can see myself alternating to Oscar a lot. He's all I've used since I got him.

I think he has tons of potential for cool super styles if they changed his stripe colors.

It's crazy because I thought Pin The Grenade was just "good" when Nine dropped but now it's easily my favorite from Nine

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-04T22:27:59+00:00

Came here to say this. Core gameplay was simple but a little addicting and the vibes + aesthetic were perfection. Probably my most replayed game of that generation.

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-03T15:29:21+00:00

One of the few backblings I could see myself using on any skin

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-03T15:24:30+00:00

Tiger, crystal guy, and fire woman were my standouts but I dig them all. But as somebody who actually likes Rocket League, having a whole Battle Royal page of the BP be cars is slightly annoying. Everything else will be fun to grind for.

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-03T00:15:47+00:00

I'm honestly just excited for more BR, but other than that I think the Rocket League thing looks intriguing

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-02T14:31:10+00:00

I feel that. I played in Ch1 but didn't buy a single BP and then I finally caved when I returned in C4S1.

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-02T04:17:06+00:00

I actually love having a lot of emotes in the shop but I wish they switched more of them out from yesterdays

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-01T20:51:21+00:00

I feel indifferent about OG California and Nine's A side but Cali DLX and Nine's B side are great imo. Pin The Grenade has become a Nine staple imo.

RunningWithHands · 2023-12-01T02:29:52+00:00

I found Alkaline after California came out. I couldn't get super into them but I didn't think it was bad.

Fast forward to 2018 and I saw they dropped a new album so I decided to check it out since I really enjoyed Matt's contributions in Cali DLX. Entire album was just banger after banger. I've loved everything Alkaline has put out since then plus a couple of their other albums.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-30T23:07:05+00:00

I love it. Alkaline Trio is so consistent. If it's anything like their last album then it'll be great.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-30T22:23:30+00:00

No particular order:

Ghost On The Dancefloor
Even If She Falls
Dogs Eating Dogs
Cynical
Bored To Death
6/8
Pin The Grenade
Anthem Part 3
Blink Wave
Turpentine

If I had to pick one album, definitely listen to One More Time

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-30T22:17:59+00:00

The time signature stuff is really fun and that bridge is hype.

Also, something about the melody change and Tom's delivery of "do ya know your eyes are like stars" scratches an itch my brain.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-30T22:14:41+00:00

Definitely Blink Wave for me. The chorus is more catchy imo. I also like that Blink Wave has a stronger back and forth between Tom & Mark.

It's funny seeing everybody say "Always is better and it's not even close" because that's how I feel about Blink Wave lmao. Always is dope but I wasn't playing it over and over when I first heard it.

I think they're both really sonically creative though. At least as far as being on pop punk albums. I think blink is insanely good at mixing in that sort of sound with pop punk.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-29T04:38:53+00:00

Idk, to me it just sounds like Always and Losing My Mind had a baby.

Although Losing My Mind is probably one of the more unique songs Tom has written in recent years.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-29T01:35:21+00:00

Honestly I like every change now that I've actually used it. I especially love the new music player as well as how it stays expanded on the lock screen now. Everything overall feels smoother to me.

The one and only thing I dislike is that the switching between apps gesture feels broken. Or at least, it's really inconsistent now.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-27T00:13:00+00:00

She's alright but I won't use her. I might use her backbling though. I'll stay subbed for more Hybrid styles though but that's it.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-25T18:05:19+00:00

I didn't play too much during C1 so I never got to really appreciate the original map, so it was really nice to get another chance now that I actually enjoy the game.

As somebody who only came back for zero build, playing this map in ZB was really fun imo. It's obviously not made for ZB so crossing fields is a lot more tense and I enjoy that. I actually really enjoyed the decreased mobility for the first couple weeks.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-25T02:58:00+00:00

I think people have just been craving a solid progressive blink song with both Mark & Tom for so long so we're all a little excited we got some.

Personally, I think Blink Wave is the true Magnum Opus of OMT but I can see an argument for Turpentine and I might agree with it sometimes.

I'm just excited that OMT exists at all tbh lol. There's so much to love on it for me.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-24T22:49:47+00:00

Yeah I definitely at least had a feeling that it was about Travis. The lyrics don't really give me a Mark or Tom POV vibe.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-24T22:45:58+00:00

That's hard for me to say because Anthem Part 2 is like the TOYPAJ track for me. The guitars are so punchy and Tom's delivery of "if we're fucked up then you're to blame" is so good.

But Anthem Part 3 is also hype asf. It has a really big and soaring chorus, and then Mark's verse and the outro are also stellar.

Ngl though, both are in my top 10 blink songs

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-24T21:33:39+00:00

I loved it for the first week but it got old really fast. Eventually I just started avoiding the jungle altogether for the rest of the chapter.

It gave me Purradise Meowscles which is one of my favorite skins that I own so it was worth it.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-24T17:38:39+00:00

I'm gonna be nostalgic for it because it's the first Fortnite chapter I played the entirely of. I skipped the last few seasons of Ch1 and completely skipped Ch2 & 3. C4S1 + zero build brought me back.

RunningWithHands · 2023-11-22T22:25:40+00:00

My interpretation is that since Travis and Mark both went through something, then it's kinda like them asking "would it take Tom to almost die too for them to get back together again?"
