I have an interview for my dream job next week, arguably what I've been working towards for the last three years of my career, and now I am way too busy panicking screaming internally screaming externally frantically cramming poo poo into my brain so I don't fail the interview because I would have preferred this opportunity about six months from now preparing for it to game and that sucks.

I feel you. I've been interviewing for the last couple months, I got to the final round at a couple places that I thought would be a good fit, but they went with someone with more experience in that particular field. I'm now on the last step of interviewing for a position I think is perfect to help me transition to the role I want to be in, I have the final interview next week, but just waiting and not knowing how it'll end is pretty stressful.

I find myself just sitting at my computer staring at my desktop, or pulling up a youtube video only to switch to SA or twitter or something halfway through watching it, can't focus on anything.

Also my cat Jack is pretty sick :smith: I got a bunch of blood work done but it all came back negative so its something potentially more serious. I'm taking him to get an ultrasound to try to determine if its inflammatory bowel disease or cancer or what, and this is all expensive and its money I don't really have as I'm currently unemployed, but if I can just lock down a job and get some income going again then I"ll feel way less stressed about it all. :sweatdrop:

How did Doom Eternal’s DLC turn out anyway? The PS5 upgrade is giving me an excuse to play it again and I’m kind of interested, but it’s $30…

I just YouTubed both of them. It looks mostly like Just More Doom Eternal except they make you fight a lot of Marauders so gently caress that poo poo.

Also the final boss and the story in general wraps up but goes in a really odd direction that I didn't really care for, but I guess it's fine.

Just so you know khanstant, karl jobst is a bad person who associates with white supremacists and has some pretty terrible views such as being mad about how white people can't get away with saying the n word. This isn't me trying to pass judgement on you since lord knows there are plenty of awful people who make content people enjoy and it comes down personal preference on how much you can separate any given artist from their art, but I still think it's important to know who they are so you can make that call for yourself.

Sounds like “wait for a sale” territory for me then. I think I’ll have my fill by the end of the regular campaign for now anyway, so all good. Plus, I got a copy of Yakuza Kenzan headed my way, so that should keep me occupied for a while.

Everyone be sure to thank me when they announce a port and translation in two weeks, by the way. :haw:

Yeah I think so. I loved the base game but I only sorta enjoyed the 1st DLC and haven't had the time to play the 2nd. (And I think the Eternal thread agrees the 1st is better than the 2nd?)

They're not bad or anything, add new areas and enemies and whatnot so its nice if you want more doom. But I found the base game was already a pretty satisfying amount of Doom.

Laughed tremendously hard at the op post. :)


Also last night I decided to boot up Destiny 2 again for the first time in about 8 months and everything is different, but still fantastically enjoyable. The cosmodrome was my favourite thing about struggling with the first game on console and the EDZ never really did it for me - so being able to actually go through that area with a decent control method felt superb :D

I just felt like playing some comfort gaming and Peggle was downstairs.

Yeah I pop into crucible from time to time, Destiny has major flaws but its still Bungie FPS, so there's a lot about it that does feel really good.

But goddamn, returning to Destiny 2 after a few months of inactivity is basically like returning to FFXIV after you missed a major patch or expansion.

The quests I was working on are gone, the meta is totally different, and I'm being bombarded by 5 new questlines which the game forcibly loads me into first thing, before I can get my bearings, which I probably won't even end up completing before the next patch removes them.

I just wanna play crucible man.

I just play PvE stuff in zones and find lost sectors and do events and patrols. I am the wrong demographic for keeping the game alive in that I do not do any of the PvP stuff but I am glad it exists so I can keep zipping around in the cool environments because they really are gorgeous to look at.

I always wonder if I would have liked Halo if I had played it on PC. I did not like Halo 1 on xbox and it was a real struggle to do anything, so I never played any of the others.

Destiny 2 though is such a great game and feels great to play as. One thing that is confusing me is that I do not remember being able to jump this high. Did they increase the jumping abilities? I feel like I fly now.


Also Marina is ace and I listen to her first two albums allllll the time. :D If she has a new one I must listen!

I dunno, like I said I at least find crucible easy to pop in and out of. The stuff they're constantly changing and pushing new content in is actually on the PvE side, not the PvP side.

But there's just too much stuff to do every week, to keep grinding out your light level, its like a job.

Halo always felt better on xbox than PC to me, although the modern Master Chief Collection has finally (after years of 343i patching it) gotten to the place where its the ideal way to play all the halo games. Very easy to get into, pretty fun co-op gameplay. (Although online co-op can be spotty sometimes)

Nah they didn't change jumping, Destiny has always had crazy jumping. Some of the raids even have platforming challenges (which some players hate). But there are different jump abilities, so patches may have shifted your default jump to the one which gives you more vertical boost?

VideoGames
Aug 18, 2003
I have been mostly playing games where the jump is chest high (Dark souls, sekiro, TLOU, AssCreOdy) so perhaps it is a combination of not playing an FPS for a while and not remembering what it used to be like.

The first DLC does a great job of ramping things up from where the base game left off, really had my adrenaline going. If you like the core gameplay of Eternal it's definitely worth it. But yeah if you hate marauders there's a fair bit of them, in harder configurations. And the boss battles in both DLC kind of suck (and for the record I enjoyed Icon of Sin even if it dragged on a little), especially how anticlimactic the final boss of 2 is. It's not a particularly hard fight, but since he heals a ton of health when he hits you, it's a matter of repeating the same thing until you can get 3 perfect cycles in a row.
