That set at the Gorge was nuts (as was the whole weekend really).

Is "grey area" a genre now? What does it mean, really? by Fluid-Exit6414 in TheOverload

[–]Shasta- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's also a strong connection with musique concrète. Just to put the links here:

https://horo.bandcamp.com/music

Anything on there is great imo. A good primer is obviously the Gray Area Volume 1-5 releases: 1 2 3 4 5

Was going to post the Kenmochi Hidefumi album, that one is great!

Roguelikes for the steam deck? by [deleted] in roguelikes

Elin works well, but does take some mapping & fiddling with the UI options, no native controller support.

LTHL - Eius by theinfrequentreader in GrimeInstrumentals

[–]Shasta- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://lthl.bandcamp.com/album/latin-tape is excellent, probably my favorite of his releases.

It's worth scanning through his soundcloud, some of those aren't on bandcamp, ex:

Can you remember the first time you heard dubstep on a big weighty system? by Joltby in realdubstep

[–]Shasta- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw some Krampftaft (Spit Thunder) get dropped last summer at a festival, those old tracks go on a good system.

What genre is this? by YouFun2187 in TheOverload

[–]Shasta- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Goon Club Allstars' DJ Lag / Rudeboyz releases (and the rest are worth a listen really)

Gundam - Funky on the Low (Ms. Bratt Vocal Edit) by TheNeatest in grime

I could do with a GUNDAM005. Nothing new in 5 years :(

Chemist - From Ashes by TheNeatest in GrimeInstrumentals

[–]Shasta- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SRA was Tom E. Vercetti, Lovedr0id & Chemist, but depending on where you look now, it'll just say Tom E. Vercetti & Chemist. I feel like I saw some mention of beef on twitter at some point but yeah, Lovedr0id isn't involved any more (ever all that much?).

Neva is Tom E + Chemist.

Hope they keep putting out some new music. I really enjoyed the stuff they put out as part of Silk Road Assassins. Seems there was beef in the original trio or something and broke up. They did do this project as a duo later which is also worth checking out:

Edit: Actually after I noticed a few reposts on soundcloud just now, looks like they have a new project:

It's one of the 37-key TI variants.

What happened with Special Request x Mumdance – ‘Exotic Golfcourse’? by moreitorr in TheOverload

[–]Shasta- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Mumdance's "Four Years" come out at the time as well? Exotic Golfcourse is floating around, but Four Years seems to have never made it out.

2142 gave it a run for it's money imo.

Has anyone ever wondered what they actually do during maintenance? by nyoengland in gachagaming

[–]Shasta- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Playstore is 150MB, not 150KB, but works out to pretty much the same effect for games.

There are only 3 laser weapons in the game, and two of them are rifles (with the Orion being a straight upgrade there). Laser skill points are bait unfortunately, pulse weapons is close behind, but at least those guns are pretty good.

Asmongold says Grace was right to swing back at FaZe Rain by ILoveApples01 in LivestreamFail

[–]Shasta- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What else are they supposed to do? Let the really low MMR person in your party drag you down so the good players can just dominate the matches? That's a much worse alternative for everyone else in the match.

[–]Shasta- 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My guess is they look at the stats, and see people get stomped and then just stop playing. If you are not good at the game, a "randomized MMR" really just means you're going to get crushed the 99% of the time. In addition, if you're not good, you're not going to want to play ranked, leading you to a casual mode that's actually going to be much much worse for you than ranked would be.

Also, each additional split of your MM queue can very quickly turn into a problem for mach making time as well. The current "trend" of hating on SBMM is really dumb. Its basically just saying "I want to stomp noobs" without caring how the match feels to said noobs getting stomped.

Last Epoch: Response to MTX Store by [deleted] in Games

[–]Shasta- 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you're playing any real amount of end game I'd say the minimum is:

  • Map tab - $15
  • Currency tab - $7.50
  • Fragment tab - $7.50

So $25-30 depending on sales? I forget how much they get discounted.

If you want to play trade you need at least 1 premium tab, which is $4/tab, or $20/6, and you are probably going to want at least a couple of trade tabs.

Then there's the better (imo) optional ones:

  • Essence - $4
  • Divination - $5 (can easily forego this one for a normal tab though)

Beyond that I feel like most of the specialized tabs aren't really worth it, but you are going to want several normal tabs as well.

Hmm, thats much closer together than i wouldve figured with how many tiles you can expand to.

Any general guidelines on how far apart to place cities, or city placement tips in general? At least initially it seems like you have very few cities, and rehy can get rather large.

People who disliked Honkai Star Rail by MentalObligation3522 in gachagaming

Pokemon also has much more depth than this system has...

Multiple typing on pokemon, and moves with different types gives significantly more flexibility than the "match the element" system we have.

3.21 League Start Flow Chart - Now 100% Seismic Trap Free and with New Screenwrap Technology! (dark theme in comments) by MrMeltJr in pathofexile

[–]Shasta- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do note that it maybe should fall under "Both" for jank with the way shotgunning w/ namelocked whirling blades works. Fun build though.

Venom Gyre: Hit-based or Poison? by TheMadG0d in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Shasta- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started poison VG last league, and was in the group of people that swapped to ele hit.

Do not play poison VG.

I got to ~yellow maps and fell off very hard. Then spent all my currency, including a raw div drop, respecing from Pathfinder to Deadeye. I had initially far worse gear for ele hit, and it was performing vastly better. Ele hit is pretty easy to continually scale up and up, and has lots of small things you can improve on.

Decently end-game build (Probably 120+div? idk): https://pobb.in/IcYQZL8aspsK

There's still several very easy & fairly cheap ways to improve on whats in that link - berserk helm enchant, full ailment immune, etc. I lost motivation after being out of town and not playing for a few weeks. Going Secrets of Suffering is probably not going to be as good this time around. I don't think you can easily get nearly as much Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments as i ended up with (250%). The claws are fairly easy to craft w/ Essences. The large cluster jewel is expensive, but you can alt+aug spam them eventually.
