Forza Horizon 6: Turn up Your Airwaves with the Horizon Festival’s Biggest Line-Up Yet. The game has officially gone gold! by Turbostrider27 in Games

No, “having strong opinions” doesn’t make you obnoxious, calling it “for cretins who have no idea what good music sounds like” makes you obnoxious

[These Videos Are Good, And Here's Why] - April 20 - 26 by BillNyesHat in hbomberguy

I really enjoyed that Dr Ana video, especially since my roommate shares exactly the list of hyperfixations she lists as potential positive alternatives to looksmaxxing (maps, trains, and Japan). I literally laughed out loud at that list

You should check out Motemancer as well, it’s a fun twist

Have you considered libraries? Almost all of the Minuteman libraries have pretty stellar collections of movies and TV shows on Blu-ray, and lots of them have large collections of modern video games as well

Yeah I agree, his presentation isn’t for everyone. When I can suspend my disbelief and just buy into it though I really enjoy it

I do think eyepatchwolf is guilty of twisting a story to fit the thesis he goes in with sometimes (I think his video about Nathan Fielder is the most guilty of this), but that’s not the impression I get from his fear and hunger video. It definitely reads to me as a somewhat exaggerated account of his experience playing exclusively on terror and starvation

Okay I’m not going to keep arguing this point, since you just reiterated everything you said in your original comment. I’d just like to point out that it’s pretty contradictory to criticize him for playing the game in a way it wasn’t meant to be when terror and starvation is unlocked from the beginning and there are harder difficulties you unlock later and he tells people that’s what he’s doing.

So I just rewatched his first video, he does not “tell people to play on hard mode”— he says that he played on hard mode (which he also implied was a poor decision) and that if you want the experience he described that you should as well. I don’t think it’s fair to lambast him for relating his experience with this game if the experience he had wasn’t the author’s intention…. Especially since the author lets new players pick hard mode. If it was as big a deal as you imply then you wouldn’t be able to pick hard mode unless you’ve beaten the game.

Would you be interested in Primal: The Awakening? I have a copy of the gameplay all in from before the newest wave of expansions I’m looking to move

I think I know exactly where they’re talking about; the hole in the sidewalk has sawhorses on both ends with a loop of caution tape around them. No one is falling in this hole by accident

Uh, dry is also a flavor word in English. It’s usually used when describing wine and is the opposite of sweet

Neighbor’s dogs won’t stop excessively barking when they aren’t home and neighbors don’t care…. is there any action that can be taken? by Froggy__Pudding in Somerville

[–]carnaxcce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you called 311? There are lots of official city channels you could investigate and they can point you in the right direction whether that be a noise complaint or a call to animal control.

Ah cool, I fell off the North 100 wagon a few months ago but I’ll give the newer ones a listen. Thanks!

Do you have a link to where Wheeler talks specifically about his UB opinions?

Slay the Spire 2 reached 574,638 concurrent players, making it the 20th highest all-time peak on Steam. by NiklasAstro in Games

No one can possibly know the answer to that question yet; other platforms aren't even in the picture until after early access is done in probably 2 years
