I disagree on that one. If you listen to Adrenaline and then skip forward to Private music there’s barely any resemblance left.

I will agree though that their overall vibe has remained consistent, but I think that speaks to their vision of the band instead of a lack of creativity.

Thanks for sharing that mindfuck. I honestly would’ve thought something was wrong with my cognition if you hadn’t mentioned it was a test beforehand.

Glad to hear you managed to get away from that situation, and thank you for sharing. I appreciate learning about things like this, and to see that empowerment enabled you to take active control of your life.

Please feel free to ignore this if you’re not comfortable talking about this with strangers on the internet, but I’ve always wondered what keeps people persisting in a relationship like that. It’s easy for me to say, but I’d imagine having sex would definitely stop being appealing if it’s a one-sided affair. Not sure if I’d have the fortitude to put up with that to such an extent it’d result in three kids.

Please enlighten me if you can, I’m honestly hoping to learn what mindset or circumstances got you to this point.

What a way to tell on yourself there dude.

I have played and beaten both games too often to count, and while they’re both excellent the way Mario controls in SMW always throws me off for the first couple of minutes. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but SMB3 just feels better, more weighty I guess.

That is the most important bit here. Valve, effectively, launched a new gaming console that just so happens to be compatible with more games than any console out there. If they can use the install base of this platform to force developers to build compatibility like what they’ve done for the steam deck, this is going to be huge.

Oooh, now there’s a fun idea for a sequel/spin off.

There are also several YT videos with trauma surgeons and ER nurses rating the injuries sustained by Marv and Harry. Even the innocuous ones would leave them permanently scarred, most would cripple them for life, and a good couple of them would be instantly lethal.

Haven’t played any of the custom campaigns, but the game is very fun in terms of it’s mechanics (I’d argue it’s superior to even BG3 in that specific regard).

I didn’t create a new party for the expansion, but that’s largely because I set up the team to have abilities that all feed off each other for some truly disgusting amounts of damage.

Let the community know which ones of the custom campaigns you liked best. I’d love a reason to jump back into the game :-)

I agree with the sentiment, but in going to “uhm acksually” you on the size of the nuclear stockpile. Russia still holds more nukes officially: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons

Can you link the series? Really curious to read the rest.

I love these kings of threads because there’s always some unknown to me gem in there. I had never heard of this game, but your comment and the glowing reviews have me sold and excited to go check it out. Thank you, kind internet stranger.

I was hyped as hell when I saw this, only for the comments to skewer it before I even had a chance to see the video. I’ll remain cautiously optimistic this will shock the company into stepping up their efforts to do this classic the dignity it deserves.

Fine. Keep your Napolitan pizza, while I get to enjoy the wonders of focaccia and flammkuchen :D

Exactly. Plus, get me a foccacia with some great toppings and I will happily trade you a Napolitan pizza.

We were talking about national cuisines. To my knowledge Naples is part of the country of Italy.

B is being slept on in this thread. I mean, look at it - you get northern Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the northern Balkans, Sweden, and Finland. If you like pasta, pizza, grilled meats, fries, potatoes, sausages, licorice, a mindbogglingly large number of breads and cheeses, etc. etc. you’d be stupid not to pick that region.

For some reason this made me feel much older than knowing GTA V launched 11 years ago. I grew up with an NES.

Since nobody mentioned them yet, Strapping Young Lad - Detox.

Honestly though, anything that Devin Townshend touches is gold.
