Hail to the King, baby.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:

Quantum of Phallus: Imagine this: some beanpole games under the earth in a cavelike dwelling. Stretching a long way up toward the daylight is its entrance, toward which the entire thread is gathered. This beanpole has been in this dwelling since childhood, shackled by the legs and neck. Thus he stays in the same place so that there is only one thing for him to look that: whatever zelda game he encounters in front his face. But because he is shackled, he is unable to turn his head around. A 4K tv is behind him, and there is a wall between the 4K tv and the goon.

Quantum of Phallus: Some light, of course, is allowed to him, namely from the 4K tv that casts its glow toward him from behind, being above and at some distance. Between the 4K tv and the goon who is shackled [i.e., behind his back] there runs a walkway at a certain height. Imagine that a low wall has been built the length of the walkway, like the 1440p computer monitors that internet trolls put up, over which they show their memes. The images are carried before the 4K tv.

Quantum of Phallus: So now imagine that all along this low wall of computer monitors internet trolls are making all sorts of threads that pile up and go gold higher than the wall: goatses and animes and other memes made of stonks or doges and many other artifacts that goons have made. As you would expect, some are talking to each other [as they walk along] and some are silent.

Escobarbarian: This is an unusual picture that you are presenting here, and these are unusual posters.

Quantum of Phallus: They are very much like us humans, I [QoP] responded.

What the beanpole sees and hears

Quantum of Phallus: What do you think? From the beginning a beanpole like this has never managed, whether on his own or with the help by others, to see anything besides the memes and posts that are [continually] projected on the wall opposite them by the glow of the 4K tv.

Escobarbarian: How could it be otherwise, since they are forced to keep their heads looking at a Zelda game for their entire lives?

Quantum of Phallus: And what does he see of the things that are being carried along [behind him]? Does he not see simply these [namely the memes]?

Escobarbarian: Certainly.

Quantum of Phallus: Now if he were able to say something about what he saw and to talk it over, do you not think that he would regard that which they he on the wall as :five:ed threads?

Escobarbarian: He would have to.

Quantum of Phallus: And now what if this thread also had a derail reverberating off the zelda game in front of him [the one that he always looks at]? Whenever one of the posters walking behind those in game (and carrying things) would make a shitpost, do you think the beanpole would imagine that the derail were anything other than the memes passing in front of them?

Escobarbarian: Nothing else, by Zeus!

Quantum of Phallus: All in all [I responded] those beanpoles who were chained to the zelda game would consider nothing besides the memes of the derails as the truth.

Escobarbarian: That would absolutely have to be.

Make this entire post the new thread title.

Its my party
and I'll die if
I want to
I think i need to stop playing GoT on work nights because it end up playing until 4am. Though I do work at 1pm, so its not that bad, its still omg this game is so good, there's cool stuff everywhere and always more Mongols as Murder Hobo Jin's blade hungers for invaders blood. It's been a really long time since something that wasn't a 4x game engrossed me like this. I'd say HZD, but that had towers and maps that would unlock the map, GoT you just have to run around to uncover the map yourself. I need to pet all the foxes.

I even found a hidden quest tonight and the White Dye Merchant as well. Do flowers respawn like other resources? And sometimes the birb shows up and I have no idea where its leading to. At Golden Temple a birb flies around the central structure but that's about it. And I got over my hatred of the Bamboo Cuts and got a few of them done. They're still annoying but its one of those things where once they're done, they're done.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
Cdpr just got ransomed wared. Or "capcomed" as i like to call it these days. Nothing on the gog side or player data, but source codes for cyberpunk, witcher 3 and gwent. Expect modders to fully patch cyberpunk in a week.

Theres also emails and everything so uhhh hmmm... drama continues

Hoping to see the early versions of witcher 3 with the red inventory and that canned remake of witcher 1 and the first version of witcher 1 without geralt and witcher 4 deets. Gotta look on the bright side.

You say this now but you also didn’t get into Bloodborne at first.

I’m giving it two years tops before you try Yakuza 7, love it, and then marathon your way through half the Dragon Quests.

It is very possible.

However, with Bloodborne I stopped after getting past Father Gascgoine.

In regards to turn based jRPGS I have started an absolute ton (including Persona 5, FFVII, FFVI, Chronotrigger, Earthbound, Pokemon) and even the slow combat style rpgs (Baldur's Gate, Torment, Fallout 1 and 2, Star Wars KOTOR) and I completely bounce off of them.

I think it is just not something I am very much into, which is a shame considering how loved a ton of those games are and how I would like to get along with them.

I plan on trying Yakuza 7 once I eventually finish the others but I’m not gonna actually buy it until I’ve finished them all so it’ll be cheaper and if I bounce off it I won’t have spent as much.

oops not a PS3 title! My b. I was mainly on pc around then so that whole generation is a blur to me. I’ll recommend the mediocre Aliens vs Predator game and Syndicate. also technically not a fps but my first PS3 game was Wanted, a perfectly average title. you can curve the bullet just like James McAvoy

I have Syndicate! I love Starbreeze so I wanted to try it out. It wasn't particularly exciting but it was OK! I'll finish it some day. It runs backwards compatibile on Xbox so that's handy. I wish the Riddick game would work on newer consoles.

Remember, Lloyd Kaufman helped Sly Stallone make Rocky (and cameos in it!) and gave James Gunn his break in the business with Tromeo And Juliet. Dude understands the language of film on a level most humans can only imagine, and is like the least pretentious dude around. He rules.

That means there's a headband at the top of the structure, but you may not be able to get up there yet. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're going full completionist.
