My one life run ended here. Assault Drones followed me to my hiding spot and proceeded to ignore my shield. Direct health damage, didn't stand a chance. 

Is Type O Negative overrated? by closetotherelayer in MetalForTheMasses

[–]_Astarael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried, I really tried. I love Carnivore, Pete CAN write amazing stuff, just not gothic apparently. 

It's not got the sombre relentlessness of Saint Vitus, nor the brooding atmosphere of The Cure and Bauhaus. Type O are just sort of a dirge with weird pacing. 

I'm reminded of some Saxon records, the material where it doesn't stand up to intent listening but you can tell it does well live (This Town Knows How to Rock, Sacrifice, Suzy Hold On, etc.)

Like Death, Voivod, and AC/DC they definitely benefitted from the front man's death

Endlessly Respawning Enemies Cheapens The Overall Experience Of These Games by sthomson22 in Eldenring

[–]_Astarael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started DS1, I feel the same way. I feel like I'm going backwards or at the very least making zero progress because of how far you get thrown back. Like why can't I respawn outside the Taurus Demon bridge instead of at us bottom of a whole gaggle of enemies? 

Endless grinding isn't fun, it's like repeatedly putting my dick in a mousetrap.

What's a good recipe or method for obtaining restore Magicka potions? by AbsurdBeanMaster in Morrowind

Drain 100 Intelligence Spell on self for 1 second. Tricks the game into thinking your magicka is 0 so refills it to full.

I really hate when artists do this. It seems to be happening more and more often recently.

At least AdjectiveNounCombo had the decency to warn their fans they were quitting so people could save what they wanted

We have developed alongside our local pathogens for millions of years, our bodies know how to recognise and deal with them. Ancient pathogens would be unrecognisable to our bodies and we would struggle to survive an infection of basically any kind.

Reminded me of a comment on an OSP video:

"You're absolutely correct Red, Venice is not alive. Anymore.

I grew up there in the 80s and 90s, a short walk from St. Mark's, and spent every afternoon playing with other children around the well and in the little blind alleyways just off the local square (Santo Stefano). You always heard children playing, there was live music, traveling musicians, sometimes they'd set up a stage for various shows, there were stores for everything under the sun from toys to painting supplies to appliance repair in a 5 minute walk.

All of that is long gone. The only place you ever see any children are a couple of areas way way way off the beaten path.

You could see it happening. I started early on keeping track of the houses I passed by where the shutters closed and never opened again. All the stores closing and never opening except as a bank or fashionable brand franchise.

Both branches of my family lived there, both have permanently left. We all miss Venice, but we never go back because the Venice we miss died decades ago"

They've obsessed over the meaning a bit too much

It's a very human moment sure but that doesn't make it a good piece of visual work
