It’s weird to hear Descent described at a niche FPS offshoot because it was my jam back then and I was all over Overload. I guess it kind of was since the Descents are almost the only examples of Descents.

I know there was Radix, which was basically the Epic version of Descent.

would AquaNox count as a Descent-like, being a 6-degree FPS but underwater instead of in space

I never realized that Freespace was an offshoot of Descent. Also I'm pretty sure that the ship from that first Descent game is just a slightly altered R-41 Starchaser from Tie Fighter.

I haven't watched yet but as a Freespace fiend I believe Descent was only added to the title for marketing reasons.

i heard misstoffelees exactly once when i was like 17 or 18 and still knew the chorus word for word when i finally looked up the song a decade later

Schleichfahrt and Aquanox primarily count as loving AWESOME.

I think I'd want a 3d maze like map for a Descent-like though. Aquanox is more a "what if space game, but submarines".

I haven't watched yet either but IIRC it was called that because of an existing program called Freespace that was on the market at the same time as well as marketing. It was called Descent: Freespace in the US and Conflict: Freespace in places where Descent did not sell well.

Despite the horrible/hilarious dub and other various issues, I loved Aquanox and its sequel. Just very atmospheric and poo poo.

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
Aquanox is like Gothic. It's much, much better in German. The Aquanox intro video sounds like a Nature documentary in English, but in German you can hear the utter disdain in the protagonist's voice when he describes the setting. He's just so sick of this poo poo.

Thanks to whomever posted the link to Jaiden's animated Nuzlocke run. That was a delight. When Tertwig (or whichever) kills the Gabite which would have been a major help to the run it was just... priceless.

sure thing! jaiden is one of the more humble folks who have made it huge on youtube, and she's also pretty drat funny when she wants to be. She's also joined alpharad + crew in a fair number of their Among Us streams and is pretty good at it.

I highly recommend her and alpharad's charity pokemon randomizer "race" stream, too.

Gootecks got really into conspiracy bullshit and pseudo-science a while ago. It kinda sucks because one of the reasons I played Rose in SF4 was because of him and Excellent Adventures.

Yeah a few months back I think he posted insane COVID poo poo on reddit and got dogpiled by fighting game posters who I'm led to believe are generally some of the shittiest gamers of them all so that's how bad it was. Then yesterday as others said he was tweeting in support of the rioters storming the Capitol. Dude totally lost it.

Him hating PogChamp was so stupid most gamers would kill for that type of exposure. It's not like Trihard where it's used for nefarious reasons.

He was always kinda into that conspiracy poo poo and the latest grift but dude took a sharp turn towards alt-rightville around 2018 or so AFAIK. Maybe because it's the latest grift, but there's some sincerity to his bullshit too.

Thats a big lol

Also the reason he hates PogChamp IIRC is that he signed away his likeness for that for some stupidly low single-time payout and its a constant reminder of him failing to capitalize on it properly.

I even watched a reaction video from somebody called Pokemon Challenges who claims to be the world's best Nuzlocke player which, sure, why not which helped me realize how smart Jaiden plays her Nuzlocke runs. (Also minor props to the guy who despite having an entire channel about Nuzlocke runs is also very "eh, it's a game with self-imposed rules, do what you want" which did not feel typical.)
