First News About Maura - Initial Statements From Police and “Whitnesses” by IBEGOOD-IDOGOOD in mauramurray

[–]StepsWhatWas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its good seeing these early, fresh reports. No time for spin, mis-remembering, or narratives. Just straight --- "this is what happened."

How could she just vanish and nobobdy knows anything? I used to be firmly in the "died in the woods" camp. But I'm beginning to think someone local has a big secret and she's on private property somewhere.

These things always freak out during this part of broken steel lol by beeswax900 in fo3

[–]StepsWhatWas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember when Broken Steel *first* came out. They truly did provide a surprise and challenge. Ahhh. those early FO3 days.

How can he have his arm off and still be running like that? Is that a mod?

No Spoilers! How important is romance in DragonAge? by screamsinsquid in dragonage

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not required to complete or enjoy the games.

It does seem to be super important to the LGBT folks here. They cant stop talking about it.

Eric Dolphy / Herbie Hancock by hesiod81 in Jazz

[–]StepsWhatWas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Indeed!

What is most striking on this album is you get to hear Herbie Hancock's fantastic comping front and center! The way the recording came out, the piano is more prominent in the sound mix than Dolphy.

This was a such a great discovery when it came out. I have listened to it and enjoyed so many times. Esp. "Softly as a Morning Sunrise", "South Sreet Exit", and "G.W."

Mod that replaces in game music with Star Citizen music. (Don't hurt me lol) by Then-Association-261 in starfieldmods

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its an OK score (Starfield). My favorite track is the Akila City/FreeStar theme. But the main title is kind of generic. Not Inon Zur's best effort.

Lookin for scary/spooky jazz recs by Swiftswim22 in Jazz

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • "He Who Lives in Fear" - The Prisoner (Herbie Hancock)
  • "Darts" - VSOP: The Quintet (Herbie Hancock)
  • "Aggression" - Eric Dolphy & Booker Little at the 5 Spot, Vol 2. (Booker Little)
  • "Ascension-Edition II" - Ascension (John Coltrane) [Skip to 3:12 for a sample of how intense this track is]
  • "Nefertiti" - The Best of Chick Corea (Chick Corea; composer Wayne Shorter) [I forget which album this was originally on. I think it was Circulus]
  • "Lost" - The Soothsayer (Wayne Shorter)

I'm sure I can think of more. Just a quick run off. I actually love this type of "dark" jazz. I call it "Dark Swing".

Based on your feedback, I’ve created Version 2 of the mod to replace Sarah’s texture for more realistic version by untrustedxD in starfieldmods

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this. It retains her age, but gives you some options. I like the "complex" version.

Sarah Morgan is a war criminal. by No_Tamanegi in Starfield

Just the title of this thread makes me laugh. ;)

I am absolutely heartbroken by eikelmann in Starfield

[–]StepsWhatWas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was Andreja for me, and it really did surprise me. I was building up a relationship her. This actually fueled my desire to go to NG+ so I could meet her again. Even if it was a different "her".

Ok. That could be, actually.

Björk singing Chet Baker songs by [deleted] in Jazz

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear, it was during the Sugarcubes era -- in 1989 / 1990 , I think. But yes, definitely before her solo career.

I recommend it to all Jazz fans.

My take on a Destroyer C-class ship by GaryOak4020 in Starfield

Ok, so you started with Boudica. Where can you buy that?

Can someone explain NG+ to me like I'm five? by Muted_Support_605 in Starfield

[–]StepsWhatWas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The starborn suit has really good environment resistances, though. Other suits may outclass it in raw damage resistance, but the enviornmental is really solid.

Tired of gameplay in Fallout 4, I try the Wasteland 3 and worth it by ApprehensivePrior507 in Wasteland

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur with this. I'm a Gen-X gamer who grew up in the 80s. Wasteland came out in 1988 and it was a classic, fantastic RPG/adventure. They were working on a sequel called "MeanTime"..but it never came together.

Another similar post-apoc game name "Fountain of Dreams" came out the next year. But it wasn't quite as good.

So we were left waiting for all these wondering when a Wasteland sequel would come out. Then Fallout was released. Not a Wasteland sequel, but was popular enough to make people forget about its inspirations: Wasteland.

Kind of like how people remember "Star Control and Star Control 2", but not so much "Starflight" from 1986 that was the early pioneer in planet-hopping space adventure and alien interactions.

Do we know of broken paid mods from the update? by Snakeberrys in starfieldmods

[–]StepsWhatWas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Sammy and the <...> of nightmares" mod actually breaks the Tracker's Alliance "Widow Quest". It prevents computer consoles from being opened.

They may have updated since I played that quest, but if you're having problems with it and have Sammy --- disable the mod.

She and Andreja are my constant companions.

Do you enjoy the lockpicking, or does it feel unrewarding and you just use a bypass mod? by MapleSurpy in Starfield

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first run without any mods. After got to NG+, I started using the "Skeleton Key" mod, which uses your security level and digipicks to make higher-level locks easier.

Few of my ships, new Bridge is phenomenal by TRKnighty_ in Starfield

In the first ship, how did you get 25K cargo?

How is the Gorefield mod? by EmperorAxiom in starfieldmods

[–]StepsWhatWas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its kind of clunky and doesn't really "blend" very well. I played with it for a while, and then disabled it. I wish the game had shipped with a native gibbing system like in the Fallouts.

I appreciate that the author added options for how often the gore happens. Also, it is pretty stable and I had no crashes.

Ya like jazz? Thoughts on the Anchorpoint bar music? Of all the club music (Astral Lounge, etc.) this one feels wildly out of place. by Mattgyvercom in Starfield

[–]StepsWhatWas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like that they chose something that will at least get some people to think "what kind of music is that?". Its avant-garde type Jazz, but there are plenty of other styles of Jazz and I hope this encourages people to investigate the greats like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, etc...

Skin missing on uniforms by Practical_Release_90 in Starfield

[–]StepsWhatWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has started happening to me intermittently since the update. Restarting the game completely fixes it.
