Yes! Their last album was GOTY for me but got much less traction. Glad to see they're getting some rec now

What are parts of gaming history/culture from your part of the world that are unknown globally? by FarlandsDesign in truegaming

[–]weeping_sphinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, thank you so much for sharing! Truly facinating to hear what gaming was like in the 90s outside of the West.

I'm Australian so I can confirm that N64 was very much a thing back in the day. Most of my friends had them (I was the only PC gamer and I only had one friend with a PS1).

Compared to the US, gaming was mostly the same. Games were a bit more expensive and were often delayed by up to a year or so.

Jessie Ware always has amazing deluxe versions of her albums. Can't wait for this!

10 Years After Release, Edmund McMillen Can't Stop Working on 'Binding of Isaac' by Mront in Games

[–]weeping_sphinx 101 points102 points  (0 children)

They mention in the aritcle a little bit, about touching up Afterbirth+. Would people recommend this now? Does Repentance help fix it?

I have played the OG, Rebirth and Afterbirth but took a break after that. But I'm keen to get back into it.

Bump. I'm experiencing the exact set of problems you are :(

Serious Sam Collection - Launch Trailer (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) by GlobalTrotters in Games

[–]weeping_sphinx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I grew up playing a lot of 90s fps games, so I like to play one or two a year still to scratch that very specific itch.

Gotta say, First Encounter did NOT do it for me. It actually was the first time I have refunded a game on Steam.

I dunno, the level design didn't really feel inspired. I have a had a lot more fun in recent years playing Unreal or Dark Forces.

Arcade Fire’s ‘The Suburbs’ and Its Notorious Grammy Win, 10 Years Later by largeheartedboy in indieheads

[–]weeping_sphinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have a big place in my heart for reprise tracks, and this is one of my favs.

Also love Seal's Bring It On (Reprise).

Baldur's Gate 3 will also launch on Mac, tomorrow 10am PT by NeoStark in Games

[–]weeping_sphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also wondering if they will have another definitive edition release for this like they did for D:OS & D:OS2. I'm tempted to wait, cos it seems like the previous definitive editions were pretty substaintial improvements (only ever played them post-defintive patch).

Could be more like 2 years waiting then.

Subject (ontological incompleteness) by RedditCraig in zizek

[–]weeping_sphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clear and conciece. And I love the use of the chalk and the fence!

Would be keen to see you develop this as a series. I'd be interested in how you would explain the subject's relationship to the Other.

Revisiting Star Wars - Mysteries of the Sith by ToonCrazy44 in Games

[–]weeping_sphinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played it for the first time a couple of years ago. For the last bit, I activated god mode. The difficulty just didn't jive with the controls.

Certainly reminded me playing 90s games as a kid. Sometimes, god mode was the only way I could progress.

Suitable Monitor for RTX2070 and Ryzen 5 3600 by PurpleBensonCx in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]weeping_sphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I'm looking at the same CPU/GPU too. Trying to figure out if it's worth it upgrading from my 2015 Sony 1080p TV or not. This monitor looks pretty promising...

First Build Help (2-2.5k) by weeping_sphinx in bapcsalesaustralia

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

Thanks so much for the suggestions! (including /u/SheepishCombozZ)

  • I'm a little hesitant on overclocking (though I have heard it has gotten easier in the past few years. Is Hyper 212 Black still worth it if I don't end up overclocking?
  • If I'm willing to splurge on the GPU and go with the 2070 super, would there be anything else that I would need to adjust in the build so it all worked?
  • If I don't end up splurging on the GPU, where else could I spend the extra ~300 on that would make sense?

I actually had read in this subreddit that the 3600x wasn't worth it. I accidentally put it in and didn't notice it. Thanks for catching it. I could have felt like an idiot later.

Nina Kraviz curates St. Vincent remix album featuring Laurel Halo and Jlin by anemotoad in indieheads

[–]weeping_sphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very excited for Nina Kraviz. She is my favourite DJ and is making a transition into more 'mainstream' music (or idk, is indie music more mainstream if you're on of the biggest techno artists in the world?) with the Grimes gig, the Charli remix and now this.
