How do you keep track of this shit, you weirdo.

Slashley! I haven't seen you in ages!

B0N3M4N

Oooh, so we're deviating from the topic even further by moving away from movies now, I like it

Metro 2033 (the book) was pretty awesome, while the successor 2034 was kinda meh.

B0N3M4N

I don't know, haven't played it. I don't even consider it given that I loathe the visuals so much. Maybe one day when I get it in a bundle 5 years from now or so.

B0N3M4N

Interesting. Do we have book adaptation where the first part was awesome and the rest sucked? Totally hijacking the thread now, hehehehe.

I recall being disappointed by the ending of Watchmen, because the movie was so close to the original, and then they went and completely changed the ending.

B0N3M4N

That's the thing basically: Everyone does.

Except for me, apparently. I hate the shader with a vengeance.

I was pretty hyped when the Kickstarter was kicked off. Then they did a few shader mock-ups and had a vote. The community decided on the current solution. Since then I pretty much abandoned ...

B0N3M4N

I might. Eight has had a special place in my heart for a long time. It may destroy the fond memories by replaying it though.

B0N3M4N

Now that Bloodstained, the spiritual successor of Castlevania: SotN is out, I am deeply appalled by its cel-shaded graphics. Maybe I'm too oldskool for this newfangled shading hullabaloo, but it's a total deal-breaker for me.

Has anyone played it and can or cannot relate? Is it good? So good in ...

B0N3M4N

Aliens was at least as good as Alien.
LotR was pretty consistent across the three films
I only remember The Godfather 2 vaguely, but I think it may qualify.

B0N3M4N

Berlin. It's such a weird mix of extremes.

In some hipster parts of the city the employees at restaurants go out of their way to speak English instead of German (even to Germans) because they want to show off how worldly (w?) they are.

B0N3M4N

We just returned on Thursday.

Nothing fancy, 10 days at the German coast (Baltic Sea).
I still have a week of vacation left, probably not going anywhere.

B0N3M4N

Cool. Welcome to the mortgage club.

Owning is a house is pretty sweet, fingers crossed you won't have to deal with things breaking all the time.

@smeared ink: Hey!

B0N3M4N

On vacation. Busy with stuff. Mostly fine.

You? Any noteworthy news?

B0N3M4N

Where is everyone?

B0N3M4N

It did, great job eightman.

Sorry for missing SG day, there's been a lot going on here.

Edit: For some reason I'm expecting a darker turn in a sequel to that comic...

B0N3M4N

Well my interests are still pretty much the same as they were two decades ago, but my mode of consumption has changed significantly.

I still love books but rarely read anymore. I have stopped buying new books that interest me because what's the point if they just collect dust.

I still love video ...

Nice. Do you have more comics?
Have you ever considered doing this stuff on a regular basis?

That rank’s been there since 2005 and is just named after the song, so will do :p

Yeah, "new" meant that I just changed into it.

Just a language nitpick. The song says "das kleine Krokodil" (the little crocodile) but when you use it like in the rank it should be "kleines Krokodil" (little ...

B0N3M4N

Alright, adventure time!

I just ordered a Modbo 4.0 from China for 2 Euros. Whether this is a scam, I don't know, but I'll take that risk. Getting a cheap replacement PS2 won't cost a fortune and I get to solder my very own modchip or wreck a console. Let's see how this fares.

edit: lol at the ...

B0N3M4N

Aw crap. The game and controller just arrived and seem to be in very good condition. Unfortunately my PS2 doesn't take the disc. I got it used on ebay after my old one died and it was supposed to have a modchip.

So I cracked it open and cleaned the lens. Now it takes the disc but I get an "Please ...

What I like about it in retrospect is that the game seems to evoke all kinds of strategies. Maybe being unclear about the mechanics was a good thing after all.

I usually eat three meals including breakfast and rarely snack in between on a whim. When I do, it's usually at work when I need a sugar boost (I don't drink coffee). I snack most after dinner when sitting in front of the telly or the computer. Sometimes I skip lunch and eat a bag of chips (crisps ...

Usually installing a compatible version of vcredist would do the trick:

I was planning to, in a few years or so. I decided not to get a PS4 before clearing my PS3 backlog. That in turn gets hindered by my PC backlog =/

Anyway, I played GoW I - III but like many sort of lost interest when part 3 didn't really bring much new to the table. Also I thought they tried too ...

I couldn't figure out how to play it. I clicked on the executable when I found your working link but it didn't seem to do anything.

Did the game start up at all? I was stuck on the main screen a bit because the start button was a bit hard to see. It's very big compared to the rest of the buttons ...

B0N3M4N

Just played the browser version. Seemed to work fine. The action is pretty slow though. Most of the time I'm waiting for enemies to appear. I played for about 10 minutes and only got hit once :p

Yeah, the browser version is fairly slow, probably even more so on a slower computer. Originally I ...

The only way I've died is from the sides coming at me. Can the things shooting at you damage you? It's pretty hard to play with a laptop touchpad though, so I die pretty quickly.

It seems like I can wait as long as I want to shoot with nothing happening, but the longer I wait, the bigger the ...

You should add something that gets rid of those blue blocks once in a while, like if you follow a certain combo you get a bomb or something.

Whenever a powerup appears, some blocks vanish. But not all powerups are helpful

It sounds like a pretty cool plot, I'd play it, but not if I can't see the actual ending.

I'll try to remember in case this day ever comes.

After playing eightman's Cannon Ballin', I'd like to share another of my Ludum Dare entries from December of 2017, because it also has a scoreboard:

The theme was "The more you have, the worse it gets"

Finally got the hang of it:

The second door was actually a boon because the ninjas would clutter up, making the group easier to hit, allowing me to rack up points faster. Nothing compared to Cybernetic Empire's insane run though.

If you have a controller plugged in/detected during runtime it fucks up. Game maker fun! Otherwise it *should* be okay. Wasd and ijkl. Unless its some weird foreign keyboard problem.

So I was able to play this game. Seems to me that digging is pretty unlimited. I didn't run into any issues with time or amount of digging. Only some obstacles. Anyway I have no idea what to do.

For a year of playing, your skills are pretty good! I was about to comment that your singing could use some practice, but then I saw original video you posted and the guy has a really weird way of phrasing (w?).

You picked a really tough song to sing!

Huh, I remember some negativity towards him and I was wondering where that came from, thanks for clarifying. Seemed like a diligent admin to me, but I don't know much about what happened behind the scenes.

So I'm thinking of scraping those. No idea how much material can be gotten that way.

I was kind of hoping that someone of the admins made some backups of the material, like Cyan Garamonde, who seemed to be quite a responsible admin if I'm not mistaken.

Well, doesn't sound like it though.

The original Nier has become one of my favorite games of all time, although it was panned by almost every news outlet back in the day. To this day I don't understand why that was. I feel the gaming landscape changed significantly during the early PS3 years, and I have the feeling that Nier fell ...
