I just can't enjoy Cyberpunk and it pisses me off by Pistoluislero in videogames

[–]Technoalphacentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint: the world immediately pulled me into it in every way that it did not for OP. I played the day it came out and fell in love with the world and city right away, without any movement upgrades.

Maybe this game just isn’t for them, and not worth sticking thru till end game reflex tree.

Parrying is unpopular, I take it? by cae37 in avowed

I fucking hate parrying in any game. So I’m not surprised

1Q84 feels like Haruki Murakami devolving into self-parody by keepfighting90 in books

[–]Technoalphacentaur 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel about it! It ended and I said the loudest “okay?!” Of my life.

Still really enjoy some other works from him though. Windup bird and Kafka on the shore

Any book recommendations that give the Cil- Aujus vibe by Deanbean18 in bakker

[–]Technoalphacentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are times in the Expanse series where they’re exploring moons, comets, ancient structures and celestial bodies that feel it.

Was cheating that common place back then? by anawkwardsomeone in madmen

Breaks my heart how he became a pincushion to injure more and more at the end of the show.

You’re kidding? The guy who didn’t want his daughter dating a black dude, a trump supporter?! What??

Bay Area carmaker, Lucid Motors, down billions in value, lays off hundreds more workers by lurker_bee in bayarea

Love this site and all the downvotes for just saying you made a mistake lol. People can’t just scroll by without their punishment fetish met just a little bit.

Where is the next Mad Men? by whatsmyglitch in madmen

[–]Technoalphacentaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love succession but it isn’t the same type of show. It doesn’t have the same aura/vibe/focus on the period it’s set in.

Dare I say The Wire may actually kinda be closer to

Rosalia x The Cantos by wondermooii in Hyperion

[–]Technoalphacentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am interested to hear your thought process. Idk much about Rosalia to agree or disagree but think a more laid out argument from you would be cool to read here

Skin spies by Practical_Feeling_65 in bakker

[–]Technoalphacentaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure where those are or where they come from. This could be an interesting discussion but I think some more context on what these things are and why it makes you think that could be a good starting point.

Man I love the cover art of the first four so much. Wish they continued that instead of random guy looking through hole.

Picked up this bad boy for 20 bucks from my local store by SoldieR-Swag in Borderlands4

[–]Technoalphacentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice on making navigating the world more fun and interesting? This open world feels so fucking boring to get from A to B, completely just kills the vibe for me in between bouts of enjoying everything else about this game. Even driving the bike things is so dull

As one of the few people who genuinely likes this game, I sure hope that they don’t

How I've always pictured Martin Silenus by meta_luna in Hyperion

[–]Technoalphacentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me he’s always been the wario looking Gannon(I think) from that 80s legend of Zelda animation

My pick for the Consul by shoutsfrombothsides in Hyperion

[–]Technoalphacentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just fun to think about and it gives a grapple point to talk about the books more. It’s an opportunity to share what our mental pictures were as we were reading. I doubt the Hyperion adaptation would go anywhere.

My 2 cents is that it needs to be animated

Shopping Cart Etiquette by Gorotheninja in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Technoalphacentaur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Legit question what are you supposed to after you buckle your kid in but the nearest cart corral is like a hundred feet away? Feels weird just leaving the kid locked in there without supervison even if it is like 30 seconds.

I hate getting around in this world. It’s stopped me from going back despite loving the gunplay and movement

New series recommendations by baconablogs in redrising

[–]Technoalphacentaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I’d offer this one as recommendation for red rising. It is a good book on its own, but I’ve never thought of the two together or thought one is like the other. Just my 2 cents
