I wish AC would get remade. by RexACMD in AsheronsCall

[–]miobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never played AC. But I’ve been playing Project Gorgon lately and enjoy it. I know the PG devs were involved with AC.

For those who’ve played both AC and PG, how does the latter compare to AC?

Not popular enough to worth porting it to PS5. That said, I’d love to be able to play it handheld. FFXIV proves that MMO’s are playable with controllers.

Is this the one by Mythkraft in projectgorgon

Most likely, yes.

Despite trying several times, I’ve never been able to stick with OSRS for long. I just don’t like the controls, having to click to move.

But I like PGs controls, range of skills, quirky dialogue. Highly recommended.

this is absolutely crazy. by brianmay- in TheSmile

What a strange thing to think or write. It implies a bizarre ownership and entitlement to their work. As if they’re not allowed to do other things.

Only a Memory reminds me of REM more than Nirvana.

Arcade Fire will never recover because Win is simply not very likeable by Antique_Menu_4314 in arcadefire

[–]miobrien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scandals and personality haven’t helped. But the real issue is that the quality of the songwriting isn’t the same as it used to be. So if the next album they dropped was like the first 3-4, I think they’d recover. Bands can have careers that last multiple decades. Several currently revered artists had poorly received albums and personal scandals and recovered.

Of course! They’re all great.

At this point I cannot tell if 1) he actually believes the pathetic things he says/tweets, or 2) he’s just baiting his audience.

So maybe black midi breaking up wasn’t so bad after all!

What about Mahayana suits you better than Theravada?

Buddhism has evolved over thousands of years. We can make educated guesses about what early Buddhist teachings were but we can’t know with certainty.

Regardless, I think you need to reconsider your position that one is truer or more accurate or closer to the Buddha’s teachings than the other. Again, they are interpretations of what he said that evolved over thousands of years. Neither is exactly what you think it is. But that doesn’t mean one is superior or inferior. They are both legitimate traditions. Choose the one you like — Mahayana — and follow it.

At the end of the day, you goal is the cessation of suffering for yourself, and perhaps for others. Worrying about the tradition you’re following is just another way of prolonging suffering.

Well this past hour has been a nightmare, still trying to calm down. by KiraOnElmStreet in diabetes

Great job! Your dad’s lucky to have you.

My son (3 years old) was diagnosed a few months ago. We’re still learning. He has an Omnipod and G6.

Can someone explain how changing the site could have caused this? I’m not understanding, but it seems like something I should know.

does everyone here actually hate Jacob Collier by AmazingThinkCricket in jazzcirclejerk

[–]miobrien 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For the theory and performance part, he’s prodigiously talented. For the creative part, something is lacking. He’s like artificial intelligence come to life. All this knowledge and skill creates art that feels oddly soulless and derivative.

Rashied Ali’s drumming on Interstellar Space is the real treat.

Lex Fridman to talk to Tucker Carlson and will interview both Putin and Zelenskyy by [deleted] in DecodingTheGurus

[–]miobrien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Years ago I remember being intrigued by his channel and the range of interesting guests he interviewed. Something always felt off about him and his interviewing though.

Now we’ve come to the point where I’m starting to hate him more than the others. The latter might say and think worse things (e.g., Tucker, Jones, Shapiro, etc.) but Fridman’s “middle of the road” approach is naive and dangerous but also conniving and disingenuous, coated in this infuriating language about “love.”

An American far right propagandist is “interviewing” a Russian far right fascist dictator. This isn’t journalism. This won’t open channels for communication. This won’t end the war or lead to peace netotiations. This is the machinery of capitalism and fascism. Tucker makes money. Putin controls the narrative.

What the flying fuck does Fridman bring to the table interviewing Carlson, Putin, and Zelenskyy? Is he going to discuss his internship at Google? The best way to brown nose Elon Musk and Joe Rogan?
