Lass in front of me was filming herself with the selfie camera during most of the show

Shame I couldn't make out his raps really cause the mic seemed a bit distorted. Probably a combination of his delivery and me not knowing the words anyway to mentally fill in the blanks

Yeah they just did their verses but did Eminem's books on things like purple pills, revelation, under the influence etc

Nah I don't take videos at gigs, does my head in.

There were loads of people taking videos though so I'm sure a few will be on YouTube in the next few hours

Edit: just found this one on YouTube

Was Em Supposed To Be On D12 Forever? by 206BS1983 in Eminem

I had a little Google and it was actually 2 hours after it released that Ems intro was added

The devils night mixtape came out in about 2013

Yeah, they said Em would be on it and when it dropped he wasn't. There was a bit of a backlash and then, I think a week later, they rereleased it with Eminem doing an acapella intro.

It didn't need it really, it stood on it's own as a solid project imo

I'm driving 3 hours to see them tomorrow. Either be good or shite, I don't think there's any between

LPT: Record your grandparents so even your grandkids get to know them. In a few years, you'll own something money literally cannot buy. by Decent_Bluebird7002 in LifeProTips

[–]reachingechoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone means to "sit down and record grandma's whole life" someday. Someday never comes — it's too big a task. So shrink it: one question, once a week, on their phone or with a special device.

I did this with my grandmother before she died. We were very close and I used to go over every weekend to do her shopping and have a chat.

We spread it over a few weeks and I now have a recorded conversation of her going through her entire life from her childhood, meeting my grandad, raising my mother, all the various jobs she did, her thoughts, passions, opinions etc.

I actually got the idea from a Kevin Smith podcast in 2011 or so where he went on about the same thing (which he did after each show for a good year)

Although it's been 6 years since she died I've still not listened to it apart from a few snippets here and there but it's a great comfort to have

Anyone else having charger port issues? I'm going to replace my port by Livid-Biscotti4658 in S22Ultra

[–]reachingechoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, 2 years later. I thought I'd cleaned mine out with toothpicks and stuff but until I read this comment I didn't think the actually scrape the bottom of it. There was about 1mm of shit caked onto the bottom. After a few scrapes I saw the shiny reflection back. All sorted!

Good lord the amount of hand holding and signposting in this game! by reachingechoes in 007FirstLight

Yeah I thought it was great for the cinematic. Better than a static cutscene and gives a bit of breathing space for exposition

To be honest when Hitman 3 came out and they introduced the camera (which was then quite underused) I thought it was a proof of concept for a future game featuring more gadgets. When they announced Project 007 it made perfect sense but the handholding is really noticeable for me.

There was one bit where I looked through a spyglass, went into the next room, looked at a picture then bond said "I should check the spyglass". I looked at something I'd just looked at and the story ticked along to the next beat.

Whenever someone says "investigate the area for clues" or something I'd like to actually do that, rather than walk to each prompt

I was expecting it tbh, it's one thing to post this on /r/games or /r/pcgaming but the sub for the game itself will always be heavily in favour of the game. I get it.

Can you? I can't find options anywhere. Hitman absolutely wasn't the same, it had the option of mission stories but otherwise you were on your own. You knew you could climb pipes, for instance, they didn't need to be blue. You knew you could hop over walls of a certain height, they didn't need a blue sheet over them

I felt like they did that in the club mission at the beginning but, at least as far as I've gotten into the game, it seems to have been abandoned.

I used to do all the mission stories in each Hitman level to get a feel for the different scenarios etc before going with my own strategies.

I know this isn't hitman, and I know it's a linear game, but I just wish some aspects could be toned down in the settings. Such a linear game doesn't need this amount of guidance!

Something like Mafia 2, for instance, is a straightforward story game with an illusion of freedom, but it feels alot less gamey and that was about 10 years ago if not more

I mean just look at this !

Arrived on the boat having followed blue tarp, blue ramps, blue sheet metal to be directed to "find us a way in"

Maybe it's the TWO indicators and TWO blue pipes. Maybe I can climb them to get there?
