 I have somehow missed any knowledge of this, it's added for the PC release I guess?

Yes, for the Steam release. Not sure about the Epic store version. They're all pretty good with the one I highlighted being a true game changer. I tried to get the final one last night but the game crashed twice at the same spot so I found it on YouTube after about 5 minutes of searching.

Just randomly bumping this thread because a friend sent me some old holiday snaps today and I noticed they were taken at a place called Cadzand-Bad Strand in Belgium. Then it clicked, "strand" is the German word for beach. Kojima's games always seem to contain infinite layers of meaning and puns.

I miss it too! It'll be coming back starting hopefully this week, I uprooted pretty much everything and moved out of my grandparents' house recently so that in addition to my stomach issues has left me a little busy. If you're in the mood for long hikes through very pretty landscapes with lots to see along the way while you wait, I streamed the entire Serious Sam series over the course of the past week and a half or so while I was settling in. To the tune of, uh, 41 hours of video. It's a bit more... shooty, than Death Stranding, though. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Oct 6, 2020 |

I don't know if this is the place to ask, but... how are your stomach issues? I ask this because I'm a fellow stomach issues-er, and have therefore felt extra bad for you.

Thanks for asking, you have my sympathies believe me. I wish I had good news but it's about the same as it's ever been, though I'm learning to live around it at least. Frustrated with my doctors because they refuse to actually TRY things, instead preferring to perform the same endoscopies and colonoscopies and give me the same useless advice over and over without prescribing anything. It seems they or the US healthcare system would rather I wait months and months and maybe possibly potentially actually confirm what the issue is, seemingly uncaring that people like me can go their entire lives without any real resolution due to their cowardice. So screw 'em! I'm currently treating myself for parasites via mebendazole and probiotics since they won't (or can't) help me by prescribing them. The good news is, this'll help me narrow it down no matter what- it'll either be another dead end with no real negative side effects, or the solution to my problems. We'll see! edit: And that's not to say I'm being unsafe, or that I don't trust my doctors. I totally do, I just think they're being timid and unwilling to run trials of drugs on me like one would see in a civilized country because my insurance will go ballistic if they prescribe something that makes me sick or kills me or whathaveyou. Such is life in the United States, but I ain't gonna take it lying down anymore personally. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Oct 6, 2020 |

I've got my fingers crossed for you. I hope you succeed. I've managed to get a handle on it after many years, but my doctors (European, here) have been more than forthcoming, too. Curse the US health care system! The main thing that helped me initially, though, was switching over to the FODMAP diet. Maybe that's something that will work for you? I will now stop clogging up this toilet of a walking simulator thread with unsollicited medical advice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st-36t_bUnQ Going to be relaunching the LP soon, starting fresh on the PC version with 4K60 footage and a new perspective in the commentary... but I figured you may want to see this first.  I had to put this LP on hold for various reasons, but now that I can pick it back up I've decided to start over from a more story conscious perspective. Death Stranding is a wonderful game with a wonderful, wild, weird world. But in my opinion one major weakness that drags the story down is, unfortunately, trying to slot the protagonist himself into the story Kojima Productions wrote. Well, not anymore. I'm going to do my very best to re-frame the story of Death Stranding to be more personal to Sam without changing any of the core elements. I hope you will join me for it.

AltaBrown posted:Lovely to see this back! It's straight-up called 'Death Stranding', it's the game's theme song. The video features three versions, the one from the game itself and two live versions because I think Lauren's voice sounds much better with some vibrato on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv2yNre7saU They did a wonderful performance at The Game Awards in 2019!

Are you planning on reusing this thread for the continuation or starting a new one? If you make a new thread will you let us all know where to find it? I enjoyed this LP while it was still going and I look forward to take two.

I'm just gonna make a new thread with a new OP for cleanliness/archival purposes, but I'll link it here when I launch it and close this one to avoid any confusion. edit: I added subtitles/closed captions to the video as some of the dialogue is difficult to discern with certain sound setups/hearing disabilities.

Heads up, it's gonna be a while longer. The good news is, thanks to my new GP who is a real cool dude with good practical knowledge and bedside manner, I have finally discovered what's been plaguing me all this time. He made a pretty significant discovery that answers a whole lotta questions. The bad news is I've got a cantaloupe in my rear end and it may be prostate cancer. https://twitter.com/CJacobsLP/status/1361858530131791873?s=20  I know I don't need to say sorry but I've been doin' this to you folks for a long time, making plans and then canceling them last minute, and once I'm outta the woods I swear it'll never happen again. Now to find my way outta these drat woods! Thank you all very much for being cool and understanding about your drip feed of light entertainment and literary analysis and I'll see you folks soon.
