i hope the fallout show sheds its dependence on fallout things and goes its own way more. the gnarly robot leg thing was an example of them having great ideas that afaik arent from fallout
yea the least interesting parts where were it tries to stick itself to ~lore~ and eastereggs. also the mysteryboxification. if they can shed the muh prestige tv mandatory mysterybosx and lore burden and instead just stomping around the desert yucking it up, it'd be a lot better.

as long as it doesn't Witcher itself I suppose alls well and good

wtf they're still making more season?? i had to force myself to even finish s2 and didn't bother with 3. actually dont even know anyone irl whose seen s3. i guess netflix must have payed out the wazoo for the rights and aren't about to let it go to waste but i can't imagine the numbers are particularly great

they got one of the Hemsworth brothers to be the new Witcher. Season 4 filming has wrapped-up, and Season 5, which is supposed to be the final one, is currently filming.

apropos of nothing, but one of the things I picked up from Noah Caldwell-Gervais's latest video essay about Diablo is that the sound of a game can form as much of the experience as anything else. This might seem obvious if not trite, but I think I'm not the only one who tends to turn down the sounds of a game and puts on Spotify instead. I'm not denigrating that practice, and some games are well suited for cat-assing while listening to a podcast, but I've since gone out of my way to be an active listener for the actual music and sounds of any game I'm playing.

Not only do the various bleeps and bloops create a familiarity with the game and create a kind of psychological reward once the "right" ones go off (to say nothing of sounds that are downright useful in gameplay, such as listening for footsteps in a tactical shooter), but being able to shut out all other distractions (i.e. you're not playing a youtube video on the side because you couldn't understand it anyway with the game's music playing), lets you "be in the moment" more.

I'd encourage people to try it. You might surprise yourself.

I nearly always have a talky stream on the second monitor, so I turn down the game music but keep the beep boops


there also are exceptions, I never turn down Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3 edit or Terraformers (insanely chill music)

You'd encourage people to not completely mute the sound of the game they're playing? Daring.

E: maybe it is because i am old, but routinely turning off all the sound for a game is insane as a concept to me

I turned the sound off a game if it was too scary and the sounds too anxiety inducing and listened to music on my headphones when I was a kid. I did it for Doom 64 at least.

Justified was such a great show, incredible villains and the most strategic deployment of a minimum of hammy nonsense. Last time it came up in this thread we were pining for a Yakuza-style Justified game. So many ways it could work

i saw someone post [pshhhhhhhh bleep-bloop] and i immediately knew what game they were referencing so hard agree.

system shock 2 looked like garbage even when it came out, but the sound design and sound engine (looking glass were doing probation in engine before pretty much anyone else) that made it so the low poly models still seemed alive and terrifyinh
