I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
Yeah that’s a good take, it’s like a modern Fifth Element.
I have seen Chronicle, but I probably need to rewatch it. Not sure if they just had bad direction or writing, but they seemed more like siblings instead of love interests.
Genius.com usually has annotations to explain song lyrics. Usually they’re guessing the intent of the artist though. Or are you wanting differing interpretations? I’m not sure if there’s anything like that.
I really liked the climbing mechanic. Sadly I had to stop after about an hour. Something about the FOV or camera was giving me intense motion sickness, but otherwise a really nice game.
I’ve been trying to progress in Forza Motorsport, but the infinite loading screen bug is stopping me from playing. After almost every second race it doesn’t save my progress and I have to kill the game and lose all the progress because it refuses to save.
Also I got a new controller for PC, can anyone recommend good controller games that are on PC Gamepass?
My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.
I used to like open world games that would take 50+ hours to beat but I feel like as I get older these games can be intimidating to even start and I often get sidetracked with other games frequently only getting half to three quarters of the way through....
I think it’s highly dependent on the player. I’m not a completionist in any sense, I mainly play games to have fun. I stop playing them when I stop having fun. I’ve put down games after a few hours and I’ve played some for hundreds of hours.
The gameplay loop in that sense is important whether it remains fun and keeps me coming back. Time is short as you get older and I guess I don’t really care about beating games.
I recently finished Alastair Reynolds’ House of Suns, which I enjoyed. It’s actually the first of his books I’ve read. I’m looking forward to reading more of his books.
Currently I’m reading Neuromancer for the first time.
Just inherited a bunch of cucumbers from a friend’s garden. I love them just on their own with some salt, and have made many a salad using them. I’m curious what kinds of fun things you all may use them for. Even if you feel like it’s basic please share as I will be eating cucumbers for the next several days straight lol....
I quite like the later novels, both Surface Detail and Hydrogen Sonata are fresher in my mind. But I do remember enjoying Player of Games and Excession as well. Inversions was probably my least enjoyed Culture book.
I think you can really jump in any where as they’re all mostly seperate stories.
I agree with that. I meant I didn’t really like it as much as the rest of the Culture books. I read them in published order, so I was familiar by the time I got to Inversions.
You shouldn’t trust anything uploaded there by IGGGames. They’ve been caught before adding miners to their files. I downloaded the rune release somewhere else seeing as they were the uploader on 1337x. I only really use 1337x for fitgirl repacks.

I once watched my dad watch a whole movie on his TV with the play bar up. I was waiting to see how long it would take him to notice and move it. Nope he watched the whole damn movie with it there.
I'm level 76 on my main and rngesus has not seen fit to bless me with a tempest roar, crone, or vasily's, so I've been using the same pulverslide build since around lv40....
The straight pulverize build can still work without uniques. I switched mid 60’s from trampleslide to pulverize. You have to alter it slightly for the spirit issues, but most of the power comes from the paragon boards I feel. I’ve only found one vasily’s and that was around 79/80… Truthfully I’m kind of bored of it too, I usually run a couple of NMD’s or helltide then get bored. Really just waiting for the season to start so I can roll a new class.
I have 37 rapid fire/flurry rogue which is actually pretty fun and seems to not run out of resource easily. I don’t know if I’m going to spend any more time on it though with S1 being so close.
I really want to make a fire sorcerer, but unless they balance it so there’s more viability outside of ice builds, I’m worried it’ll suck once you get to the 70-80’s.
Also tempted to try a thorns barb. I’m going to have to try the bone spear necro at some point too I guess!
Nice! I’m level 83 and still no tempest roar… I want to try a different build but I keep getting hunters zenith or frostburn gloves or penitent greaves :(
Oh yeah, I’m definitely not running a Druid for S1. I’ve not seen a Crone either. I know it’s rng but I don’t get why we keep getting the same ones over and over or if there just aren’t enough uniques.

Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.
How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?

What do you think is a good required completion time for video games? What examples come to mind of games that felt just right?
