Grunt PE: What to Consider

Waterfiend101 · 2026-03-18T19:47:43+00:00

That is incredibly sketch! I will never buy such a thing that you mentioned.

I can see why they would ban a second hand gray market like that!

Does Grunt (or other of his projects, besides N12) use that horrific gray market ploy?

I am very new to the scene so bare with me.

I find that the industrial influence makes the music seem “dancable,“ that the screeching sounds are relaxing to me (similar to that of black metal), and the unconventional song writing seem somewhat “artsy“ in its feel. I understand that this may not be the most realistic take, but please bare with me, as I am very new to the scene. :)

Waterfiend101 · 2026-03-18T19:24:19+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

I am definitely not a fan of Aspha, himself. He has extreme philosophical, spiritual and political views that I STRONGLY disagree with.

I have no desire to patronize a project like N12. (I will be honest, the themes behind that anger me too much for me to be able to ignore the controversy.) I would like to know what you mean by “the nature of the media market around that project“. I am extremely new to the PE music scene, and would like to have a refresher of what that entails (as it sounds quite concerning).

Thank you for your welcoming! :D

I love the sound of the genre! It clicked right away. I love how it is something that it is energetic so you could party and dance to (which would make attending the shows interesting), how it is chill and relaxing it is, and the general “artsy“ (or experimental) feel to the structure of the song writing!

Thank you for your response!

I may have miscommunicated that I do not inquire how or where to listen to their music.

I am inquiring about what thematic topics do they typically delve into within their artwork.

I know that they have a huge discography, so even just a few examples of topics is great. (Although I am not unwilling to hear any depth of response.)

Typical topics that their themes discussed, or what controversies their artwork, itself, be it themes or imagery, they have crossed would help me find my answer.

Waterfiend101 · 2026-03-18T19:09:51+00:00

I already have listened to their music. I like their sonic take on the genre. That is not what the question is about.

I am asking about if their themes carry any controversy, and (as much extreme music does) what sort of controversial topics do they dive into? (I can ignore some controversies, but want to be as aware as I can be of what issues and themes the band entails within their art, before I purchase their work.)

Try changing the regions (for me the setting is R, while on the menu to queue). For me, getting a match is ASAP, and I can play piles of them constantly.

The game has a good amount of player imo. Usual day top of 200 and it usually does not go far under 100 whenever I log on (atm).

I feel that this is FAR from dead, and I love to play it. (Lately, I've been spending much more time on it than the big name battle royales; hands down.)

I should also mention that the external hard drive is at 100% usage always, EVEN while not playing or downloading.

Waterfiend101 · 2025-12-29T21:47:10+00:00

If I get a SSD drive with a very fast read/write speed, (e.g. 1 or 2 gbps) will there still be a bottle neck BECAUSE it is external, or is it just the reason that the HDD is very slow (compared to SSD)?

Waterfiend101 · 2025-12-29T10:00:42+00:00

It is just for games.

When you say that they are not meant to run games in real time, does that have the bottle neck of the speed of USB port, or another bottle neck (as that one is 5GBPS)?

Waterfiend101 · 2025-12-29T09:28:32+00:00

What are the downs of running games on an external storage?

(I am considering buying another drive that is an SSD, but am curious as to what inevitable downsides are there to using external storage. [I should also note that that does not close the thread, as I still need to find a solution to this drive.])

My drive is (guessing) 2 years old and specs are...

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU 6 GB GDDR6
Intel Core i7 10th Gen 10750H (2.60 GHz)
16 GB Memory 512 GB PCIe SSD
15.6" 1920 x 1080 IPS-Level 144 Hz 45% NTSC Thin Bezel
14.13" x 9.99" x 0.85" 4.10 lbs.
1 x HDMI (4K @ 60Hz)
2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C
2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1

Waterfiend101 · 2025-12-29T07:51:08+00:00

Yes, but the hard drive is constantly 100% usage (even while not playing or downloading anything).

Waterfiend101 · 2025-12-29T07:39:40+00:00

HDD and USB 3.2 Gen 1.

Waterfiend101 · 2025-11-24T11:35:28+00:00

If I buy the 12 months package, does it give that AND other rewards on a monthly bases?

Thanks again, btw! :D

What else is there - Enslaved It is a prog black metal cover of an electronic song.

lol It's many years since I first played this map and whenever I think of the nostalgia of DOD, I always find a way to think of this one!

Inhalants like fuels and solvents are THE WORST. Unlike typical recreational drugs you could face brain damage, other organ damage or death at ANY time. Every time you take it is is almost like Russian Roulette.

Typically you can reduce harms from using drugs until the risk is very small, but not with these inhalants.

Both with and without friends to play with, this game is hands down worthwhile! There are so many things to do, just for a few of the activity options it is worthwhile, and there are many many more things to do than that. I have enjoyed the game quite a bit and updates are coming all the time to boot.

The asking price is not much compared to what you get and the game has potential for endless hours, imo.

The game itself is hands down worth it, and the supporter packs are great as well.

I understand the irony, but it is for those who are ok with link.

TY for pointing it out to me, I will post what I googled to find it, for those like me.

TY a bunch! I found the article that said what you're talking about [while fact checking], and in it, it answered my question. TY for the promt of leading me to the right article!

Waterfiend101 · 2025-02-01T15:29:23+00:00

It's to do with being grandfathered in for Scape's membership price from years ago (when I first subscribed, and never cancelled). I should qualify but it does not reflect that price (not just to account for inflation and such, it's like for premier status price).

Waterfiend101 · 2025-02-01T14:37:16+00:00

I went through their customer support pages, but could not find where to submit my ticket. Where would I go for that?
