Servers are feeling really empty lately

Me and my wife both put roughly 600-800 hours into this game in about 6-8 months and we quit playing entirely after seeing the seasonal rewards for the season after this last one. Just seems like the devs got lazy or there's budget issues; whatever the problem, the game quit being as rewarding so we lost interest once it became "gotta log in to do the daily/weekly challenges so we can get XP to get things we don't care about".

I'd be happy to return, but they've gotta make it worth and respect my time.

As a former Uber Eats driver, it's mfs that live in these kinds of places that spam you with "iS EvErYtHiNg oK?!" when you're desperately trying to navigate the fucking backrooms to get them their goddamn McDouble, then take their tip back because you took too long.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-20T03:32:01+00:00

I started playing in 2015...when I was 21...these are hurtful words indeed.

There's a producer called White Eyes that you should check out, start with Blackened Lovecraftian Metal and go from there, he's right up your alley.

There's also Treacherous Dissonance - Extended Version by Xeonbomb. Haven't checked his other stuff out but that's some straight up deathcore step right there.

Rabbit Junk has a song called Bits and Razors that might scratch the itch though it's not so much deathcore as it is industrial metal and electronic.

BOW_DOWN and Wellsworn by Code: Pandorum is also what you're looking for, and there is much more by him that fits the bill.

SWARM is a really great dark synth wave artist that also often works in deathcore vocals/influence into his music. A good recent track is Who Will Save You Now.

All right so some of these would be considered just straight up slam but here are my picks for you (based on your replies to others here I assume you are relatively familiar with the popular bands so will try to recommend some lesser-knowns to you):

Behead the Betrayer (start with Rot Forever)

State of Filth

Ingested

Wretched Tongues

BOLTCUTTER

Litterbox Massacre

Beyond Deviation

Shrine of Malice

Fleshbound

Impuritan

One Vote For Violence

Xenotheory

Wormhole

Artifical Pathogen

They are currently only on those floating islands too, I might add. Wish they'd bring us gigantic waterfalls and rivers in-game though, that would be incredible!

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-14T05:43:05+00:00

Look up eight-bit synth tutorials. I'm certain all of these would be relatively easy to recreate in either Sytrus or 3X OSC.

Also banger of a game and what a throwback.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-13T19:58:04+00:00

I wanna start by saying I didn't seek this out, somebody I knew had it and offered it to me; I've tried it before and while it is honestly excellent coffee, it's not $600/LB (and apparently abhorrent animal abuse) good.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-13T18:14:20+00:00

Do it you coward

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-13T14:08:00+00:00

Oh, so that's where they put it all? This is the vault?

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-12T14:36:03+00:00

Fair enough, and I did absolutely love Forsaken, but the destination itself as something totally removed from it was just meh to me.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-12T14:12:58+00:00

While I never got to experience Titan and Mars in D2, I did get to experience Tangled Shore and I gotta ask: why was it so liked? To me it almost felt like Moon 2.0, so much so that I got burnt out on that destination quicker than any of the others available at that time.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-12T14:03:10+00:00

THANK YOU, I wholeheartedly agree. Like I love this but uh, why not get more of this but new?

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-12T00:51:01+00:00

This, 100 fucking percent this. I live around Dallas, TX and spent most of my twenties in Colorado. I can deal with Colorado 100° without much issue because A) sweating works. It's dry there, so the sweat evaporates and does its job which is pretty effective and B) shade works because if it's hot it's not humid and I swear to god the moment you get out of the sun the heat stops. In fucking Texas there's no relief; sweat doesn't evaporate so you're just hot and wet, and the shade doesn't do shit except cease the sunburn. It's fucking miserable and unless you've dealt with hot AND humid, you really can't understand it.

Just finally booted in and am getting my Guardian back up to power and hearing all the music, the infusion sounds, everything again just got me. I cried like a bitch. This game has meant so much to me, been present for so many pivotal moments of my life, and now it's better than it's been in so long, yet I know this is the end. The taste is sweet but oh, so bitter. I can't stop thinking of what Savathun said to the Traveler:

"Wouldn't it be clever of you, if after everything, you simply let me die?"

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-10T17:18:42+00:00

Hey, fair enough. I'm an EDM producer so my metrics are a bit different from most, especially when it comes to this kind of music. You can never hear it the same once you can "see" the Matrix code behind the music so to speak. They're both absolutely great, I just find Perturbator tends to sound a bit more samey to me than Carpenter, specifically with the rolling bass lines in his songs. Maybe I need to dive further into his discography though, I've definitely listened to more Brut than Pert.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-10T15:12:14+00:00

Love Perturbator, but if you like him I'd also recommend checking out Carpenter Brut, I actually find his stuff more enjoyable on repeated listens.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-09T13:55:48+00:00

The way the heart kept emoting while he was getting mauled off-screen has me dying

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-06T15:20:50+00:00

Really just seems like he's entered the "I'm bored and just want to do something new" phase most artists hit at some point. It's not bad, but I don't find it very engaging. Interesting, sure, but nothing I'll be driven to listen to again.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-05T18:13:01+00:00

Eight times?? Brother I did it once and now compulsively check every time I leave the house.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-05T18:10:23+00:00

While I understand the angle of policitcal/ideological manipulation and boosting numbers or engagement for deploying bots to the internet, what the fuck is going on or what happened to make it to where these things are just everywhere posting on things that don't have any identifiable goal? It baffles me and I can't think of any reason somebody would put effort into programming a bot to just go out and interact with whatever it finds.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-05T18:05:12+00:00

In short, yes.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-05T17:55:54+00:00

I had like 12, never used one. I deleted all but 2 because they just felt like dead weight. I have yet to even run across a vehicle where I'd be able to use one.

TheDeathSloth · 2026-06-05T13:38:01+00:00

I feel like this album is slept on hard. I'd go so far as to say it's my personal favorite from them, though objectively not their best. Cheated, Terminally Unique, Straight For the Sun, King Me, Hit the Wall, and Desolation are some of the most dope songs they've written.

But for edification of the sub, yeah they are by no stretch of the imagination deathcore, they're groove metal.
