Seems so good so far
A little iffy on it, will wait before picking it up
If this is as good as reviews claim then we’re in for a treat when Delta comes out, that’s my other hyped remake after dead rising
I don’t mind remakes that are basically just a new coat of paint if they respect the originals
Dead rising 1 and MGS3 are basically timeless 10/10 masterpieces, will always adore revisiting them
My money for octOver will go to shadow the hedgehog’s new game
Like it says in the book, we are blessed… and we are cursed.
What ******* book?
Is October the gamer coming out month?
Every game ever is coming out
Dragon ball, sonic, metaphor, silent hill
I feel bad for any India devs coming out In October
@Jimmer-jammer That's ok, man. I know you're a busy man these days. It's understandable that you would prioritize your local scene over the wider expanse of global musicality, a lot people do that, I'm sure.
Couple of points for you while you're visiting:
One. What are your thoughts on the SH2 Remake Reviews appearing to be so positive? Apparently it bodes well for those of us who intend to play it and admittedly loved the original.
Two. Where do you stand on classical music? I ,myself, love the work of Stravinsky, Shostakovich and Charles Ives.
Honorable mentions go to Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Arnold Schoenberg.
Can't just listen to jazz and hip hop all the time, so ocassionally I visit the upper echelons of the musical arts. 😃
@CthulhuFhtagn that’s entirely dependent on you . i doubt age has to do with it. if you want a game to end then 9 times out of 10 the game is most likely just overstaying its welcome and/or isn’t any good. it’s why i put down days gone because it took too damn long to start being fun, and then i did some research online & found out i wasn’t the only one that had that issue with it
@Malaise@nomither6@CthulhuFhtagn I think I’m absolutely gaining more patience with age, generally speaking. Delayed gratification is much easier as an adult, and time just goes faster in general. That said, I think society at large is so incredibly less patient than 10-15 years ago that we all seem less patient compared to before. We never have to wait for anything anymore. Everything is immediate, fast paced, driven for quick results and maximal convenience.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution i personally have no problem with that, lol, as i unashamedly admit that im part of the “tiktok generation” 😂 . i basically grew up with the internet & cellphones 😀
@Malaise i’m sure it was . the whole “patience is a virtue” idea definitely held more weight. I’m glad you made it through that era, black and white motion pictures sound terrible! 😛
@Malaise@nomither6 Every new generation has privilege (and challenges) unique from it’s predecessors — in the same way the Gen Z crowd can’t pay attention to something for more than 35 seconds, the current day ‘boomers’ can’t grow their own food or survive without indoor plumbing.
And the current rising generation will have their own kids and gripe at them because they are too reliant on AI to do their classwork and creation rather than doing it on their own; and how they don’t know how to drive their own vehicles. “Back when I was a youth I had to drive myself to school and when I wrote a research paper I had to actually sit at a computer for 2-3 painful hours searching for information on Google! But that’s how we learned!” 😅 And then the next generation won’t even know how to feed all their work through AI or get into a automatically driving vehicle because their robots will be doing all manufacturing, programming, labor, creations, and skill based jobs and society really won’t need any of those abilities. And they will also be unable to tolerate any sort of pain, inconvenience, or discomfort, or any aspect of what we deem our mortal condition because biotechnology will have essentially expunged all disease and suffering. And their grandparents will look down on them in disgust because they actually had to go through sickness, gainful employment, and daily self preservation, which will eventually be moot.
@Th3solution this’ll probably come off as another back in my day post but it’s just gonna be a series of observations that are loosely connected. It helps that it’s probably evening right now in North America so I may as well make some small talk in my current dreadfully boring 3 AM hell.
Observation 1: Education environments from what I was younger would always go back and forth on allowing calculators, not just that, but any devices period. I believe Kuwait still has a nation-wide ban on smartphones in all public governmental schools. Basically elementary to high. Colleges are more “private”. I dunno how private schools work here except that they have different dress codes based on what I saw my cousin wear. (Small anecdote: private schools don’t always make for better learning environments. I know someone who grew up going to one, but he dropped out of college. And I knew one other guy who winded up becoming extremely lonely as an adult and very shut-off and completely unaware of the outside world and what happens. Public schools can be a surprisingly ok ground for gaining social experience)
Observation 2: I remember when you were seen as incredibly knowledgeable for memorizing multiplication tables. (I’m so bad at knowing English technical terms, I almost wrote multifuncation before getting autocorrected, which isn’t a real word). I still think it’s a healthy skill. Your brain doing basic math for you is a great thing.
Observation 3: recent training; so in order to apply for a job, I underwent formal training for two years. Finished it two years ago. Felt weird that I was gonna finally stop being jobless (more on that later, saving further details for a story I’ll share with @BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN about why I don’t have a ps5) but during that training, I was first exposed to the concept of “open book tests”. Sounded like heaven at first, then I learned the caveat that you get your runtime shortened two a quarter. So rather than 120 minutes, you only have 30 minutes to take your test. I even found out in some places there’s an “open Internet test” which is astronomically harder.

@Yousef- well it’d depend on your backlog and the 2025 releases you fancy but Silent Hill 2 Remake would have to be a decent option.
I’ve got the physical FF Pixel Remasters coming on Wednesday as it goes. Planning on playing one pixel FF and one post-FFVII per year moving forwards starting with I and XIII-2 in 2025.
@colonelkilgore you’re right! And yeah, SH2R would be a good addition in a month where I’m not buying any full-priced releases. Would be even better if it went on sale!
Hope you have fun with FF.
Thx 4 the feedback!

@Malaise I do like to watch videos when I am doing hobbies like drawing, but most of the stuff the videos are on is just film reviews, hour long analysis videos on animated films, or art videos, but I also watch random stuff that shows up out of curiosity or boredom. I don’t stick to a specific YouTuber or am subscribed to any, but the videos are really fun to watch and I like being entertained while I draw. There is a film YouTuber I occasionally watch and I think that he does a good job at analyzing animated films while also being comedic and silly. However, I also just listen to music when drawing too.
