over the garden wall soundtrack spotted

I don’t know most of those so I can’t really get a grasp on your tastes but I’ll throw a few albums I really like into the ring anyways!

Ruin - The Amazing Devil The Search - NF Everything is Wrong - Lincoln Needle and Thread - Roland Faunte Starbound Orchestral - Curtis Schweitzer Smile! :D - Porter Robinson Dark Matter - Les Friction

I tried to pick some stuff that was really all over the place, hopefully something in there speaks to you

Played the early access on ps5, it ran shockingly well, even if the graphics had to take a serious hit on performance mode. I’m cautiously optimistic for the pc performance!

Ttust me, you’re all in for a treat! The combat feels soooo nice, a fantastic mix between the “cinematic” combat from world and the fluidity from rise! Plus of course it’s just nice to have more monster hunter at all.

That octopus monster looks freaky! I wonder if it’s gonna be an elder dragon like nakarkos or if it’s a new classification?

Speaking of classifications, that’s two bird based monsters that are classified as brute wyvern instead of bird wyvern now! I get it, they use the brute wyvern frame rather than the raptor frame, but it’s still a little funny.

right, but if you do that I think it’s on you to explain why you have that many hours and yet are still leaving a negative review. This comic is specifically parodying the people who don’t provide that context and thus leave it open to interpretation

I was actually really disappointed when I got my prescription, because I went home and tried it, and I felt nothing. From how other people describe it, I thought the clouds were gonna clear, the angels were gonna sing, and I would be reborn a new person. I genuinely thought the medicine wasn’t doing anything.

Anyways I then proceeded to play a colony sim for 12 hours straight without getting up or getting distracted even once so I think the medicine did something lmao

No problem, anything to help a fellow blender artist! While there’s a very good reason blender does images like that, it’s admittedly very unintuitive and could definitely use some updates to make it clearer.

Texture painting (and any images in general) are saved as separate files in blender by default! They’re not saved as part of your .blend file. You can press alt+s while your mouse is in the image viewer (or just click the image dropdown menu at the top of the image viewer, which should have an asterisk if your image is unsaved) to save the image.

Alternatively, you CAN pack the images into the blend file! Under the file menu in the top left, select external data > pack resources. Then, whenever you save your blend file it should ask if you want to save the image too. note: you DO need to have saved a separate copy of the image first for this to work, but you do NOT need to keep the separate copy after you’ve packed the file.

Oxygen Not Included - after binging ONI videos all month I finally decided to give actually playing the game a go. Turns out watching lots of high level gameplay does not make you a good player! The struggle is tons of fun though.

Stationeers - A second super complicated game, I just had to hop in and play with all the new robotic arms they just added! Or rather, I would if I could make a functioning station in the first place… Time to go refactor the atmospherics again!

Satisfactory - The hat trick for brain melting games this week, with the release of 1.0 I’ve started up a brand new world and I can’t wait to mess around with all the new toys we’ve got! Unfortunately I’ve been hit with a nasty post-release bug but hopefully they’ll fix it right away and I can continue my factory adventures!

Astro Bot - A game to help unwind after the stress of the other three games, I genuinely cannot comprehend the amount of heart that went into this game! I seriously find myself grinning from ear to ear every time I boot it up, and I’m always looking forward to my next chance to play!

Started up a new world after not playing since like… update 5 I think? Already having a blast with it, though I’ve ran into a bug where coal miners won’t take coal from belts unless you have coal in your inventory and I think I’m gonna have to shelve it until that’s fixed unfortunately…

All the new QoL features are amazing though, and I’m crazy excited to see all the new late game content and what insane production lines I’m gonna havr to think up!

You’re right, there are, but my point was that private MMO servers are significantly harder to host and moderate than a private server in a match-based multiplayer game like say Team Fortress 2. An MMO that relies on private servers is almost certainly doomed to fail, so it must have some form of official server, which then will need some form of cheating prevention.

The issue is that that’s only a solution for a certain type of multiplayer game. MMOs and battle royales for example cannot feasibly implement community servers as their main form of multiplayer connection, because very few people have the capabilities to host such servers, much less moderate them at such high player counts. Heck, there’s even arguments to be made for the value of public matchmaking, despite how often it gets blasted in spaces such as this. Private servers are unfortunately not a one-size-fits-all solution.

I used to hate playstation controllers because they always felt really weird to hold. Even the PS4 controller was terrible for me. With the Dualsense PS5 controller though they just made it an xbox controller with playstation gimmicks and that was such a great move! It doesn’t look too ugly either, since it’s just the same basic shape as an xbox controller. It doesn’t have the nice weight that an xbox controller has and I definitely prefer the joystick layout on xbox, but the haptic triggers, the hd rumble, the trackpad, and the gyro sensor are all things I don’t think I can do without anymore!

I think it’s mostly nostalgia, and the fact that it was kind of the first iteration of the design all controllers use now. The 360 controller was good but it was really only the start. In my opinion each xbox controller has been a massive improvement over the last.

The series x controller is probably the most well refined controller I’ve used, and the only reason it’s not my pick for best controller is because I’m a sucker for all the fancy tricks of the dualsense.

The reaaon tech literacy has dropped so much is actually because we’ve gotten too good at UX. You don’t need to know nearly as much to do most things with computers now, so most people don’t bother learning about how to properly use a computer anymore. Setting up an email address or a router or a website has gotten significantly less complicated so the average person can do it without needing to learn any new skills. Hell, phones are so streamlined that most people probably don’t even realize their phone has a file browser.

It’s not specifically about roads per se, but I HIGHLY recommend Jacob Geller’s video “After a City is Buried”, which touches on how surprisingly common it is for us to just build new stuff directly on top of old stuff.

sweet! now my sandwiches will be even tastier!

it’s a tumblr joke about appollo hitting you with the dodgeball of prophecy, used when you make a bad prediction that somehow comes true.

because they’re right, tumblr is somehow the best remaining corporate social media simply because they’ve stayed the same while everyone else got shittier
