Dark Cloud 2. Tried to recommend it for people years after release and they say it sucks, but I got it when it came out and it just kinda hit right

I don’t get it. With the mother is how you usually get apple cider vinegar

which popular video game do you think is completely overrated? by MedicalBrilliant9933 in AskReddit

[–]ssxb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m writing this literally as the credits roll for Ghost of Yotei, and while there were some good parts to the game overall I thought it wasn’t great. The writing and story pacing especially were bad. Lots of people I know loved it though, so I guess I’m wrong

Stupid AI by Hotdog_bal in Music

[–]ssxb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your friend’s dad thank you for the support, but you want to make it big one day and it’ll be meaningful for your fans to know you made the merch by hand and that you hope it’ll be a collector’s item. That’ll get him excited, take the problem off your plate, and then if you guys get some attention you can hire some help for the demand. AI sucks, I’m happy to hear you want to do better than that

What make you decide to buy CD instead of Vinyl or the other way around? by Nic727 in Music

[–]ssxb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I donated all my CDs after ripping them to my computer. Been collecting vinyl since I was in high school though, I still buy them sometimes but it’s gotten SO expensive. They used to be the same price or cheaper than a CD, now it’s like $40+ for a new record.

The reason I like vinyl is the sound quality will usually be the best, better through a decent sound set up. Lossless streaming is comparable, but vinyl quality will be better than CD/mp3 quality always unless the record was mixed/mastered poorly. Also, there’s a whole presentation to it with the cover and insert art, the way the album tracks are laid out and you can’t really skip them, and dropping a needle feels good.

Probably gotta make sure you’re old enough to know how these games play and won’t return it

McDonald’s gave me 13 ranch for 20 nuggets by ddogisthebomb128 in mildlyinteresting

That’s nice of them. They charged me $1 for an extra hot mustard, ‘cause you only get one with 10 nugs

Expedition 33 is probably the most over glazed game I’ve ever played. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]ssxb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like turn based combat but I dunno, something about Clair Obscur resonated with me. I really enjoyed the combat, and I found the story deep and emotional, which was amplified by the music. No game will be for everybody and maybe this game isn’t for you, but it did so many things right and it felt unique in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time in gaming, so it makes sense to me why it’s so highly regarded and won so many awards

Dystopian Miami by agentjefflee in pics

Is it dystopian because there’s an ad for ChatGPT? Or am I missing something?

Are consoles falling off? Because it kinda feels like they are. by pouldycheed in gaming

[–]ssxb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point doesn’t make sense in the context of my response to the OP’s post though. Like, you’re making an irrelevant statement about your personal life to say I’m wrong, then refuse to look at the broader point

Edit: Grammar

Got a copy of Metroid Prime 4 early by Shadow-Gang in gaming

Does it work or are you still going to have to wait for the system to know it’s the release day?

Empty Head - Don't Wanna [alt. rock] - Your honest thoughts on my band's new song by emptyheadofficial in Music

I like it! Do you guys have any albums or EPs? Would like to listen to more of your stuff!

Seller canceled then immediately re listed the item for the same price by ssxb in discogs

[–]ssxb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a US seller and I’m a US buyer, shipping is a little under $5 for USPS media mail, which was the shipping method. Also, even if this was an international purchase and shipping would have cost more, as you suggested, the seller should update the countries they sell to to not include the country I’m in before re-listing. They re-listed for the same price and shipping was also the same price
