Starsiege. No, not tribes. Starsiege, third game in the earthsiege series. Tribes was actually a spin off in the same universe that got much more popular (with good reason, tribes was awesome).
Starsiege was a pc game that came in a bigass box, complete with multiple books filled with lore from the game’s universe. It wasn’t as well received as mech warrior (another mech sim), so it didn’t have a big community. But those of us that played it loved it to death. I think you can still get the game running if you don’t mind fucking with a bunch of sketchy third party patches.
Generally all of them. Every time I consider this question about an artist, I try and consider if I was the victim in the crime. Would I be okay hearing, seeing, or listening to this any longer? If the answer is no, then it’s no for me.
I want to live empathetically and have to put my money where my mouth is.
Oh man, every time someone asks a question along these lines I always think of the movie Hank and Mike. I found it in a discount bin at a grocery store probably a decade ago so I took a little time to actually look into it more this time. I knew it was Canadian and unlikely a big hit, but apparently it was just so poorly received. It made less than $17,000 of the $2M it cost, and it’s real tough to find anyone even reviewing it. I even struggled to find the music from it. (The one song is badass). And it’s got a couple B-tier actors that I remember doing a great job, and I think Joe Mantegna really went for it in his role as the god Pan. Chris Klein kills it in this song.
The crude humor kinda puts people off I think but the satirical aspects cut a little deeper than the movie needed to. And probably when I discovered it I was depressed and had a drinking problem and the overall mood of it really felt at home to me at the time so I was able to just live in those aspects of the film and really absorb the more subtle message. It’s definitely absurd in many points but there’s a lot of heart in it.
Slashers (2001) is a fairly unknown horror / comedy from the heyday of video stores. I rented it on a marathon weekend with my old movie crew and it instantly became a favorite. The “Slashers, super-fun!!” theme song is likely problematic at this point but I still find myself and the few remaining folks from that crew saying it at random when we get together.
Outside of that group though, I’ve never met another human that’s seen it. Albeit I’m not usually proselytizing about it like a weirdo… usually. Maybe at next year’s horror-con I’ll start.
That would be highly unlikely. Most infotainment systems either run Android Auto or CarPlay if they’re very new “fancy” (for lack of a technical term) models, or custom embedded firmware for everything else.
you’re right, maybe it’s a proprietary operating system… Maybe in the car manual the license for the Linux kernel can be found?? Oh that would be my dream!!
🤫 I was thinking of that actually! But I couldn’t remember the term, just the general meme of “If you’re unsure of whether you’re correct, post it on the Internet and you’ll be corrected” ha!
It was my second attempt at making a game(the first time i wrote “horizontal” instead of “Horizontal”, making movement not work. I gave up for 2 years from making games because of that). It was made by me and a friend.
It was supposed to be a platformer in which you could kill enemies and bosses and have a lot of secrets. It was never published because we gave up
I thought about it but you know the experience probably would just ruin it for you. Human skin isn’t very smooth way up close and I imagine the odor would be something else at that scale.
Save up a stash of Interesting audiobooks, podcasts for times you’re feeling like it’ll take an hour or more. (Not -too-interesting.) Boring ones once you feel like keeping your eyes closed.
I’ve found that listening to material I already know works best. If it’s new, then I pay attention, if I’ve already heard the story multiple times I zone right out.
30 min sleep timer and hardcore history of the Mongols works every time.
