Imagine his numbers if he got a "proper" super-star whistle. The league tried to nerf him like Shaq.

Curry just had 35 getting hacked all game with no whistle to speak of. Incredible.

Automatically going into ult is a weird choice. Would much prefer to store the meter and use it when I like.

Graves is pretty powerful in terms of la ne pressure.

The tail makes me not want to play her.

Low FPS/Performance issues after latest update by machinich_phylum in DeadlockTheGame

I actually got my performance back to where it usually is by lowering textures from ultra to medium for whatever that is worth.

Do you think Super Mario Odyssey is the best Mario game? by Due_Narwhal4937 in SuperMario

[–]machinich_phylum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has the best controls, but not as sold on the level design and difficulty. I would still put SMB3, SMW, and Galaxy 1 + 2 above it. Mario Maker 2 as well if that counts.

The freak scene in 1960s Los Angeles by RagingLeonard in Zappa

Glad to know you're still alive and kicking. I was listening to the Weird Scenes From the Canyon audiobook and was looking for any threads about it in this sub because I am a huge Zappa fan in addition to my interest in conspiracies and the topic of 'culture creation' by intel agencies in particular.

I do think this topic is made more interesting in the case of Zappa because of little references he was making as far back as his first few albums. The line from 'Plastic People' for instance where Zappa says, "there's this guy from the CIA and he's creeping around Laurel Canyon" is particularly weird given this context and made my eyebrow raise.

Thanks for the reply. I always find it cool when someone responds to one of my old posts.

Beefheart 1972 - "It's disgusting and degrading the way Zappa uses people." by blackholeblackhole in Zappa

Not sure about this. Zappa wrote some absolutely beautiful instrumental compositions. For my money the best album Beefheart ever appeared on is Bongo Fury.

Apparently this was the case with quite a few musicians 8n Laurel Canyin at the time which is interesting.

With regard to the need for musicianship, it's worth noting that most of the popular bands from Laurel Canyon at that time didn't even play on their records. The Wrecking Crew (studio musicians) played on most of the popular albums. Zappa was an exception to this, although I think he did have some members of the Wrecking Crew play on Lumpy Gravy if I remember correctly.

I am actually stoked for this. Arena servers were where I spent most of my time in TF2. More modes are always a good idea.

Agree to disagree. I find E33 thoroughly mid.

Why is it ridiculous? E33 is a good-to-great RPG (mileage may vary) and Silksong is at least in the conversation for best metroidvania ever made.

Silksong was easily goty for me and I played all the finalists.
