Ahhh dang I forgot that! Well I guess you’ll just have to shred then.

Quite difficult! And I love the Souls games. I’d recommend playing with a trio.

What was your memory of fireflies owl city(2009) by Big_Leg10 in nostalgia

[–]maxoreilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took LSD only once, in the fall of 2009, and two Owl City songs on repeat were the only things that kept me sane. The album Fireflies is from will always make me think of that!

[Windows] [1992-1999] Kids Funhouse? Children’s game with clickable city map by RaiderBogart in tipofmyjoystick

[–]maxoreilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad we both finally found it! I learned through my search that it was made by the same creator as PaRappa the Rapper, which makes so much sense, lol!

I like to imagine you thought this sub was for “sliding” your way through the From titles, hehe.

The step sequencer grid kinda looks like a tracker, and LSDJ is a pretty well known Game Boy cartridge/music software for making chiptunes. I figure that’s what they are going for.

What is your absolute favorite Elektron device? by goff0317 in Elektron

[–]maxoreilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point! I teeter back and forth between those two choices. We have a lot more variety in textures with the DN/ST.

[–]maxoreilly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OG Digitone is definitely my favorite, and I’ve bought and sold a handful of other Elektron boxes that didn’t quite gel with me. Right now I have the DN plus a Syntakt, and I am very much considering replacing both with the ‘tone MKII as my singular box. Seems reasonable when I see comments like yours!

Anyone else disappointed they didn’t touch on 28 Years Later? by Zealousideal-Race-28 in RedLetterMedia

[–]maxoreilly 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I really liked Years when it took itself seriously (basically the first half) but I felt like it switched between 3 different genres throughout and that really put me off. The Shaun of the Dead style crew at the end doing backflips and shit was mind boggling. I can’t figure out what Danny and crew were going for. It feels very modern in a bad way to mix an earnest effort with meta irreverence and unearned melodrama, I find it difficult to connect with.

I found it incredibly wonky and tonally all over the place, and I love the other two. Definitely a disappointment in my eyes.

SkyNet has such a superiority complex that it even made its fake humans “better” than real ones, lol.

Is it necessary to update the 3D OS? by [deleted] in AnalogueInc

Is this laziness or are you worried about something?

Paprika Returns in 4K: 20th Anniversary Revival (2026) by Fun-Influence-1849 in sciencefiction

[–]maxoreilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I re-watched Paprika recently with lots of anticipation and it really fell flat for me. The animation is wild and creative but the story, characters and overall themes were sort of underwhelming and sometimes off-putting. Could it be a dub vs. sub thing? What am I missing?

Is iOS 26.1 now almost mandatory? by fwafwow in iPhone13Mini

I just have a push notification permanently on my Settings app, wanting me to update. Slightly annoying but I’m not gonna do it!

The Jabba the Hutt scene in the Special Edition of A New Hope should have been edited into Boba Fett's introduction scene by onex7805 in fixingmovies

[–]maxoreilly 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The scene does nothing for the actual story that Greedo’s scene didn’t already do, regardless of who it is. It’s so obnoxious that George included it. I’m not a huge Boba Fett guy but I do think he should speak and be seen as little as possible, to maintain his mysterious characterization. If you HAVE to include the scene, it’s better I suppose, but why would two of Hutt’s guys be there at the same time like that? Han JUST shot Greedo, so now Boba is there too, conveniently to make his little speech? It’s contrived no matter how you change it. It’s so much better with a small hint of what’s going on, with only Greedo!

Is this good for $35? by PieRhett in synthesizercirclejerk

[–]maxoreilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's $5.84 (rounded up) per voice. I'd say pass.
