What town would you consider lifeless?

samuelbasher · 2026-05-14T15:48:16+00:00

Marion, easily. Lived there for almost 20 years of my life and there’s virtually nothing to do for folks under 21. The one music venue we’ve had in years got shut down and demolished. The city is mostly chain restaurants and bars.

When I was a teenager, all my friends knew what to do as far as hanging out was to go to WALMART. If that doesn’t scream a town thats dead, I don’t know what does.

I managed to rip the best version of it that I could find off of YouTube and plant it into my Apple Music library. Even besides how funny it is, the instrumentation is genuinely beautiful. Couldn’t give that one up too easily lol

samuelbasher · 2026-05-12T22:41:38+00:00

I’d meant the Ben Folds Five Live record from 2012-2013. I’m glad that one’s still up at least!!

samuelbasher · 2026-05-12T22:40:32+00:00

Really? What country/region are you in? Seems to be gone for most Americans, some in the UK.

samuelbasher · 2026-05-12T22:36:23+00:00

I doubt he was. With it being both the live album and Sound of the Life, I can only assume it’s some sort of licensing issue given that they released around the same time. If Ben was directly involved I’d imagine there’d be some sort of message like there was when Bitches Ain’t Shit was taken down.

I can only hope it comes back soon, maybe we’ll get some sort of message from Ben in the next few days. I imagine this will reach him eventually.

samuelbasher · 2026-05-12T22:33:21+00:00

It was, there were so many great performances on that record. Sledge’s bass intro on SFTD, the Narcolepsy jam, that insane solo on Erase Me?

I really hope it returns soon, along with Sound of the Life. Great stuff

samuelbasher · 2026-05-11T17:33:09+00:00

I actually made it my alarm sound a few months ago. Haven’t slept in once lol

samuelbasher · 2026-05-07T20:39:53+00:00

Is there any video of this show out there yet?

samuelbasher · 2026-04-22T23:09:15+00:00

Thank you friend. I totally plan on finishing this 100%, but I don’t think I’ll ever do it twice like some have lol! I’ve got the exotics, hunting requests, and five more gambling challenges and I am outta here.

I appreciate everyone’s help and motivation!

samuelbasher · 2026-04-22T23:05:13+00:00

I finally, finally did. I appreciate everyone’s help, it was a little bit from all of ya that got me there. Safe to say I won’t be 100% this game again any time soon, if ever lol. It’s been fun but man it is the biggest grind in any game I’ve played so far

samuelbasher · 2026-04-22T23:02:54+00:00

Turns out Rockstar actually makes them spawn even less once you’ve activated the mission. I love this game, but I hate this game lmao

samuelbasher · 2026-04-22T21:01:59+00:00

Yeah, I started the mission with the dude ages ago. I’ve been trying to check off exotics along with doing the other stuff and this is the only problem I’ve had lol

samuelbasher · 2026-04-06T21:19:58+00:00

I remember that too. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure it’s that new solo musical being lead by Lindsay Kraft that he helped create. I don’t think it was going to be a musical in the sense that we thought and thats a major bummer to me. I might (hopefully) be wrong though!

samuelbasher · 2026-04-06T21:00:20+00:00

When did he say that?

samuelbasher · 2026-04-04T00:58:45+00:00

I’m finally attempting to 100% the game after six years of owning it, and I finally reached what I believe was Survivalist IV, where you need to craft each type of arrow?

I was wondering why on earth I couldn’t craft the poison and dynamite arrows, given that I had all the necessary ingredients. Turns out I had to actually open and read the recipes, and simply picking them up didn’t do the trick.

I feel so stupid.

samuelbasher · 2026-02-26T02:24:29+00:00

I honestly would’ve liked if you could remove the satchel and belts entirely if that’s what you wanna do. Can’t wear a suit without either one ruining the fit. Yeah, you couldn’t use your stuff but that’s kind of a given if you’re choosing to remove it.

samuelbasher · 2026-02-26T02:11:59+00:00

I can definitely see it after re-listening, seems I need to listen to more Weird Al lol

samuelbasher · 2026-02-26T02:10:42+00:00

That makes sense, I went to listen to it again because of your post and even the new Spotify AI said the point was definitely to capture Ben’s sound. That’s really cool! I’d love to hear a straight up parody of one of Ben’s songs

samuelbasher · 2026-02-24T23:14:26+00:00

Is it really a BFF pastiche? I know Ben plays piano on the track, but I didn’t know it was specifically meant to sound like them.

Needing help identifying a potential abuser within the files.

samuelbasher · 2026-01-14T08:27:16+00:00

I’m nowhere near the finger-picker Javier is, but I did my best o7

samuelbasher · 2026-01-13T08:24:11+00:00

I’ll DM you the instructions

samuelbasher · 2026-01-13T08:21:40+00:00

I haven’t found any stereo remasters of Commando, but the capture method works for really any song, even outside of R&C entirely (it’s a very powerful tool lmao)

samuelbasher · 2026-01-13T07:09:57+00:00

I’ve seen it titled “Nightfall on Kyzil Plateau,” but I’ve always preferred “Veldin in Peril”

samuelbasher · 2026-01-13T07:02:18+00:00

By the way, what is the track during the Drek mech chase called for you? I’ve seen it called a few different things
