alf_pogs posted:this is one of the funniest threads i've ever read. It's great when the thread divides into a slapfight about how the OP definitely did/did not catch a completely unrelated house on fire over 6 hours after the first spike with more and more insane theories being given for how it could have happened.

God, that was a beautiful self-destruction. For what it's worth, having goons be unable to tell the difference between observation and approval was a perennial struggle in D&D, to the point where I felt compelled to start appending posts with stuff like "*and murder is wrong" because some enraged dingus would inevitably be too busy looking for libs to own to do things like read.

Tiler Kiwi posted:i bounced off bastion but hades was goty Supergiant games are a little odd, because everything from Bastion on are very much style over substance, and pretty flawless from a design/technical perspective but got weirder and weirder as far as games went. They basically took everything that worked from the previous 3 and turned it into Hades which probably solidified them as one of the best game studios out there. Also helps they're extremely good to their employees, no crunch time, weeks of paid vacation, 40 hour weeks max etc.

I'm still amazed that Darren Korb, who composes all the music for all their games and sings in some of them, is also the voice actor for Zagreus. And Skelly!

My one complaint about Supergiant is that games I like the best from a music/art/story angle are the ones I find the hardest to play. Transistor I love the soundtrack, I love the art direction, I love Red and The Man In The Sword, but it is way too difficult for me. Pyre I adore the setting and characters and worldbuilding and story but the visual novel/sports management hybrid is almost impenetrable to me. Hades is still very good, and they introduced God Mode for losers like me but I keep thinking "Jodariel deserved better! The Pyre cast should have had their own animated trailer!"

That last bit blew me away. Skelly, Dusa and Hypnos are grating as hell to listen to. Like you said too, I think he sings a lot of Orpheus’ music in falsetto and “in the blood” loving slaps (even though it gives off faint Evanescence vibes) There’s a really cool YouTube video with some Italian music producer guy who goes into detail about why Hades’ soundtrack is so good and it’s worth a watch it for no other reason than the dude’s gleeful enthusiasm while he joyfully geeksout. He points out that the “death” leitmotif is repeated over and over again within the game’s score and features prominently in “In the blood” - but harmonized with female vocals keeping with the whole “light/dark” motif and you totally miss it if you're not paying attention. If you’re a fan of the game and it doesn’t put a smile on your face, I’d be shocked. Also, the guy is super talented and at one point goes, “hey this track is great but you know what it needs? Spanish guitar” …at which point he whips out a guitar and plays along with the music making it own even harder. Edit: Here you go. Seriously this dude's happiness is infectious and I am gonna watch the video again right now because it makes me grin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbzATTPcfQ0 Frank Frank has a new favorite as of 02:44 on Oct 1, 2021 |

Antifa Turkeesian posted:That reminds me of a vague memory I have of someone posting a thread about people leaving dead animals in his yard, and so he set up a camera and supposedly captured a person dressed like a clown drinking blood out of a balloon. It may also have been that he thought someone was coming into his home at night and captured that image. Mostly I remember the poor-quality still image grab from a video of a clown drinking out of a balloon. It must have been taken from a movie, but I don’t remember anything else about it, other than that some people in the thread thought that it was real. There was a thread where a crazy stalker ex would leave dead animals in the yard, but I don't recall any clowns drinking blood. I think it was the same thread that gave us butthole Greedo.

Leal posted:Look some people are upset that Super Mario RPG is dead It's not dead they're making a sequel right now! Edit: poo poo this isn't the Switch thread. Real post, I've been catching up on the thread because holy poo poo there were so many posts. I missed the discussion about emotional self harm but I read Ugly in the Morning post about that a while back and thought about my internet habits some. I trimmed the threads I read specifically to get angry (capitalism.jpg) and have started telling my news feed to not show me rage click articles (7 ways to start earning passive income in under a week. Number 1: buy real estate and rent it out) and my mental states been a lot better. I got on medication for my broke brain and I don't feel like I want to die every day anymore.

For historical sake given the recent news, here's the original pumpkin thread and the TFR reveal thread after the shooting. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1704519 https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1711278 Notably by the first page the TFR crowd is telling him to gently caress off and leave and the mod actually does it. this was the mod at the time quote:Wowzers, the things you wake up to. He had PM'd me after I closed the thread and asked if I could re-open it and I told him (rather nicely) that he wasn't welcome here and that his type of behavior made gun owners look bad. I still thought he was some sort of gimmick but I told him that if he did have problems should get help with posting and everything else. I'm weirded out by it too but I'm not going dwell on it. Anyone that thinks that TFR had any part in this is silly. If he had his mind set on it, he was going to do it. pentyne has a new favorite as of 04:09 on Oct 1, 2021 |

Don't chargebacks have disproportionate punishments because it can get the site in trouble with payment processors? "Don't do stuff that could make our processors drop us and endanger the functionality of the forums" is sensible enough, imho, even if the risk isn't that huge.

Ugly In The Morning posted:That guy gets trotted out by the “close TFR” crowd all the time and it makes me wonder if they even read the thread ever. The "close TFR" crowd in all likelihood has never actually read any TFR. Especially modern TFR, which is pretty much a conservative-free zone. Same goes for the "close GiP" crowd. It's not a forum of psychopathic baby murderers, it's mostly just people who were psychologically and physically scarred by the military and hate the MIC now. fun hater posted:yeah if you get too many chargebacks, payment providers flag you as a scammer and close your account unceremoniously. paypal loves to do this Depending on card company and payment provider they can also incur a fee of up to a hundred dollars each. Chargebacks fuckin' suck.
