I don't know where else to post this and I need to share it because it refuses to stop taking up space in my brain. I got really into the game Hi-Fi Rush a couple months ago. It's a rhythm action game that has a lot of licensed music in it. The song they licensed for the credits is "Honestly" by ZWAN. This song is not on Spotify and near as I can tell, isn't available on any digital storefronts at all. So the only place I can listen to it is by watching the music video on youtube. I did not know that ZWAN was a supergroup made up of singers from Smashing Pumpkins, a Perfect Circle and Slint. So every time I go open up this music video. There's National Wrestling Alliance owner and president Billy Corgan staring at me and it just keeps reminding me how loving weird it is that one of the most influential musicians of the 2000s became one of the biggest punchlines in wrestling of the 2020s. I want to tell young ZWAN Billy don't do it. Don't push Tyrus, Billy.

Anyway French Crueller. Tim Hortons has a great Honey Crueller. I wish I was eating it right now.

"Honestly" by Zwan isn't just in Hi-Fi Rush, "Honestly" by Zwan inspired the entire game lol

quote:

Game Director John Johanas
He loves the ending track “Honestly” by Zwan, a song that he had on repeat when writing the script. “It just fit the vibe of the game I was hoping to make so well. I’m just glad we were able to license the track for the ending of the game as it works perfectly.”

That makes a lot of sense, it feels absolutely perfect for its spot in the game and the Streamer Mode song that replaces it is probably the best Streamer Mode song in the game.

it's so funny that such a feel-good game was inspired by a band where Billy Corgan drove his bandmates to hate him in record time and in turn he described them in blog posts as bloodsucking vampire parasites more interested in eating lobster and having sex in public than making music

good changes in here imo

Cavauro
Jan 9, 2008

all the changes just making things easier are based on people not wanting to engage with the luck and replay part of the game as much as was intended, or not wanting to think about doing anything in particular and just picking every single card in the moment. but that doesn't have anything to do with me

Happy Total Solar Eclipse Day to those who celebrate. I am in the direct path of totality so I took off because they expect half a million people to travel to Indiana today. I'm not trying to deal with that traffic. Me and Shard Jr just gonna chill outside all afternoon to enjoy it.

please remove this whole battle pass or whatever thing in all these games. i'm not talking about GallantryGunz Online here. just talking about pga tour. get that outta there. season pass or something. whatever it's called. that used to be the name of a dlc schedule but now it's the 3rd or 4th 'level this up' thing that has monetization attached to it on top of other things already having monetization attached to them

RE: Balatro changes I think they all sound pretty good. The changes to skip tags are particularly intriguing as on the higher stakes I basically never took a skip. Getting free jokers out of it definitely makes it a more interesting choice. Hopefully it won't be too easy now though just require more thinking and planning ahead.

If I've never played poker, can I pick up Balatro?

Cavauro
Jan 9, 2008

the game is mostly just themed around poker rather than requiring good knowledge of it. the main thing is some terminology like valid hands which are second nature to remember yourself after getting familiarized, and those can be looked at any time you want during gameplay by clicking a button. other things are named after things in poker but aren't really relevant to what they are in poker
