You know I usually think the "Chris does coke" jokes are a bit flogging a horse that was never particularly lively but his eyes look like he just took a hit on the world's biggest bong.

1st why does he hate divers so much;
I don't think it ever became clear. He claimed that it was a Judge Dredd-esque satire intended as a warning, but no bought that. Dude was clearly getting his rocks off to murdering Scoobydoos.

2nd what's with the blowtorches, that seems a recurrent and bizarre thing to be connected with diving.
You need blowtorches to cut up all the seized diving equipment. Because obviously the best thing to do with pressurised air cylinders is cut them open with blowtorches. A plan with no flaws.

Generic: The Opera

This stuff pisses me off a bit because for a computer game it's just such a loving waste of money.
There's ways to do this kind of stuff that is more than good enough for games with one dude and a keyboard, like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi10ChKGMcA

One dude, one keyboard.
It also costs a tiny fraction of the full orchestra

My favorite example of a one dude one keyboard and amazing music is brad Fiedel's Terminator soundtrack.
One dude, one keyboard, and it ended up being so goddamn memorable.

On the other side of the spectrum, there was Basil Poledouris with the orchestral score for Robocop. ALSO immediately memorable.
That 20 second snippet is so goddamn generic it hurts.

E: Also, one dude with MANY keyboards, but Vangelis made some amazing stuff (I did not really like his fully orchestral Mythodea that much)

Reading while driving will probably lead to a horrific death. However having been exposed to SEA PATROL this will likely come as something of a relief.

Everyone said I was daft to build the Stimpire on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second Stimpire. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third Stimpire. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth Stimpire stayed up.

Anyone who enjoys stimpire will like SEA PATROL. It doesn't go as far into hosed up fetish poo poo but it's still a similar kind of weird fanfic thing that is born of the same sort of diseased mind.

I forgot to add to my explanation that it was also down to you Dusty, when I noticed while lurking here that you were a goon, Around that point your posts in the Cutlass thread became increasingly sarcastic/despairing and you were about the sanest person in that thread so you were, for me, an escape trigger too.

They follow this thread so they know his games rarely if ever get mentioned and when they do it's often not exactly in positive tones, they just say that as a deliberate tactic to poison the well, ie shitizens lie news at 11.
