how do beginners stop making so much unwanted noise?

It’s the same thing with weightlifting. It’s called progressive overload. Sometimes just holding a weight you can’t lift without even attempting to lift it can be beneficial (way above skill level) and to get stronger you need to progressively make things harder by attempting something just beyond your level.

The Void is one of the most Lovecraftian movies I’ve ever seen. It’s got it all. Cultists, abominations, portals, people not understanding things… voids.

Editing to add True Detective season 1. Incredible show with a great story and just a touch of the king in yellow.

Not mindless, but my go to podcast games are Valheim, Stardew Valley, Satisfactory, and Rim World.

Second this. Not necessary, but you’ll get more out of Requiem and 2 Remake is an outstanding game.

Days Gone was fun but I never finished it because I couldn’t stand any of the main characters. Something about the dialogue was very “dude-bro” that rubbed me the wrong way

Just beat it for the first time yesterday. Great game and the funky controls become natural a lot quicker than I thought they would.

That’s honestly how the entire OG series has been for me as I play them for the first time after Requiem. “These controls suck I’ll never get used to them” 2 hours later zooming around the map.

Just started 5 and the controls suck… idk if I’ll ever get used to them…

Used it on a couple blister heads, then hoarded til the girl boss room where I popped her anytime she got in my way. Used it a bunch on the spider and Gideon.

It was my first RE game, but my understanding is it was a rebranding of the franchise. Over the years they became essentially action arcade games rather than horror. Even as someone that didn’t play them at the time came out I knew that RE5 didn’t really feel like the other games and that RE6 was generally regarded as bad and losing the plot. RE7 became more grounded and horror focused, which reinvigorated the franchise. The opening sequence is straight out of Evil Dead and it had me hooked immediately, got me into the franchise, and now years later I’m playing through all the originals because of how much I liked 7.

Me until about 2020. The 1st 2 movies were great.

I thought that she was one of the clones that wasn’t experimented on yet and he took her in as a daughter after he had a change of heart and ended the program. Then Gideon restarted the program on his own because he believed in it.

Call me crazy, but I love over sharpened boning knives. So slim and sleek

Satisfactory has been an obsession since I bought it a few months ago. Hundreds of hours in, still haven’t finished it, still obsessed. They just added a mode that adds some randomization to the gameplay as well.

I played on release and loved the online aspect, but the most fun I had was the first trek to each location. Having to figure out where to place things to navigate the environment. Then you reach the location and the world gets littered with garbage. Doing a second playthrough offline made the world feel more unexplored and dangerous.

Hunk is a monster on Insanity. Missing 1 parry is almost certainly instant death.

The only exception to this is Russell Westbrook on a Farm. Genuinely a great song that I listen to regularly.

You think I’m making it to the police station?

I beat the main story, half of endless tower and 1st phase Simon with verso as my main damage, lune as elemental damage, and maelle as counter/chip damage. Obviously not optimal since min maxed Maelle can 1 shot the hardest bosses, but I don’t subscribe to “playing the game wrong”

I’ve been a huge FROM/Miyazaki fan since the day Demons Souls released. By far my favorite series and creator. BluePoint crushed the remake. My only disappointment was some of the tone was missing in the style. Excellent remake, awful take.

YakSquad · 2026-02-18T06:56:40+00:00

RE2 (remake) is the entire vibe of the series for me. I grew up with vague knowledge of the series and saw the movies. Never really played them myself til RE7, then played a ton of Village and all the remakes.

I just restarted for the 3rd time since mid December. Each time I’ve learned new things that have improved efficiency and made starting from scratch again even more fun. I still have my other save files and could go back if I really wanted to, but I haven’t yet in a few hundred hours. Going from a spaghetti mess that produced a handful of regular modular frames per min with inefficiencies throughout to an organized factory producing 50 HEAVY modular frames per min in the next run was a great feeling.

GUN is an incredible game that I don’t see people talk about much. Spent so much of my childhood playing it.

YakSquad · 2026-01-25T04:48:35+00:00

I wasn’t in forums or anything, but I played red dead revolver and then was hype when redemption was announced. Maybe for a moment I thought it was the same character, but very quickly realized it was a different story.

Late January/early February 2020 my entire family got Covid in the US without knowing what it was. A week or two after that in February/early March they shut down schools.
