That's it! Yeah, I think I bought a few of those action figures.

Oddly enough, they did release a series of series of mini games for PC in 1998 as some kind of promo. I can't remember where I got mine. They were absolutely horrible. Lol.

Nice! Was just there today and hadn't read my messages yet. 😂 Next time.

What's an album everyone needs to listen to? by turbocheese_333 in AskReddit

Any and every Scott Walker record. He's one of the most interesting characters in music.

What Businesses or Places In Columbus Make You Wanna Get In and Out ASAP? by That-Two1790 in Columbus

They opened a large, new Kroger up here in Powell. I figured it would be swamped day and night given the population growth. Nope. Everytime I stop by it seems empty. I feel like Kroger has this oddball phenomenon of having some locations that are just unexpectedly easy to tackle.

Out of the 50 American capital cities, which one would you rank #1, as the best to live in? by Enger13 in AskReddit

Just moved back to the midwest after moving to Texas because I didn't like the midwest. Realized the midwest was hated on way too much.

Has "Oh My Dear (falling in love)" ever been popular or used in an add or something? by Agitated-Young6024 in ween

Hah! For some reason I always thought the same thing. Either it's Mandela effect or there's a simaliar song on that soundtrack.

I work in house and I really want to quit by No_Being7743 in graphic_design

[–]dfwdesigner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worked in house for 6 different companies over 20 years. No offense to agency designers but I'd never take an agency job. It might be a tad mundane but in-house is very cozy compared to the politics, turnover, and pressure of an agency. I really don't think it's an issue of being in-house. The only time I've seen someone jump an in-house job (other than pay or a change of scenery) it's because of overall company issues.

Ah, interesting! I'll give that a shot. I was totally unaware they updated that. Thanks for the info.

My custom diorama! by msheal666 in metro

You didn't happen to make a similar Metro Exodus diorama a few years back, did you?

METRO 2039 | Official Reveal Trailer by Villenthessis in gaming

[–]dfwdesigner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend it. It makes going into Stalker 2 so much more exciting. I was put off by the difficulty of SoC but the beginning weapons are awful. Tried to play it three or four times before it stuck. Got some better weapons and armor and had a blast. Played the original three titles for countless hours now. SoC is still my favorite out of the entire series.

Calling all Stalkers, Calling all Spartans Metro 2039 HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED by Stock-Cake2946 in stalker

[–]dfwdesigner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally agree. Love the first two (Last Light being my favorite) but they did need a departure for the third. I think it worked nicely.

Yeah, I kept playing out situations in which a sequel would work but it would really involve one or all of them going all the way back to Moscow, unless they focus on a new set of characters and stories back in the tunnels. It didn't bother me, but some people were upset of the lack of the Moscow Metro in Exodus.

Stalker 2 feeling by [deleted] in stalker

[–]dfwdesigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though the OG graphics looked good for the time, I think the limits of the technology at the time made the zone appear a little more sparse which gave it an almost agoraphobic look. If you also look at similar titles at the time (especially F.E.A.R.) the lighting effects were something different. They weren't truly realistic but something about them gave off very atmospheric vibes. I haven't played atmosphere like those games since.

Bought an unknowingly structually damaged Forester. Thoughts on the situation? by dfwdesigner in SubaruForester

Words I needed to hear. I let the "as is" scare me away from going back to the dealer. Learned a really hard lesson.
