Just realized that my most-followed topics on these forums are (in no particular order):

- this calamitous space-game sham
- Doobie
- the Republican presidential primary
- those idiots who took over the bird refuge in Oregon

Apparently I'm drawn to watching massive failures unfold in real time.

where can i find the bird refuge one? sounds like a good read

There is something to this, with VR it is possible to go too far with a game.
For example, I stopped playing Alien Isolation in VR because I just ended up finding the stress not fun, it pissed me off ha ha

scary games already wreck my poo poo enough as they are, i think VR isolation would actually make me piss my pants lmao

science has gone too far

Agreed. I was the Lethality for a different scam. Remember the Horizons MMO 12 years ago? I drank that Kool-Aid like it was my mother's milk. Watching other people get hoodwinked in the same way is intolerable, unless they are intolerable for other reasons in which case haha gently caress them.

wow i thought i was one of the only 5 people that played horizons, looks like the number's up to 6

i played it in the beta with my big bro and had fun at the time, being a baby dragon was pretty sweet. they changed a lot of stuff on release tho and it wasnt really the same game. the controls were godawful. luckily i didnt spend any money on it (i remember it being free? maybe it was just the beta, this was before cash-shop stuff blew up)

Did the Mer people ever get implemented? My EQ best bro and I planned to roam around the game world with him pushing me in a wheelbarrow full of saltwater and jebus christoid this is embarrassing to admit. I even talked about it on the forums account I had at the time.

i have no idea haha

sorry, not helpful, but i really didnt play it more than a couple hours after release. i really liked the idea of being a lil dragon dude hoarding gems to grow up and stuff but the game was sooooo bad.

just finished reading this old article from last year about peter molyneux

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/02/13/peter-molyneux-interview-godus-reputation-kickstarter/

fantastic stuff, really. interesting as all get-out, especially when they push him regarding some kickstarter promises.

(compared to the roberts, though, i think molyneux is just a dreamer and an idiot with a huge mouth. he's the snake oil salesman who genuinely believes the snake oil is medicine. i suspect he'd happily be penniless so long as he was working on some crappy game that he believed in.)

anyways it's interesting thinking of coder gods from videogames past. i hope there's at least a few interviews with chris roberts in the near future that go as intensely as this one.

edit: derek your serious breaking news better be a god drat goon de yadda

drat thats a good read haha

i found myself struggling to get through molyneux's dialogue at times tho. like he twists around so many times it's difficult to follow what on earth he's trying to say, or he contradicts himself multiple times in one paragraph, etc. he rambles.

love that cold opener though holy poo poo. savage.

wow that's a crazy mouse. i use the razer naga (i know, razer is lame, but this mouse is great) and i love it. i don't play space games though. i tried elite and just couldn't get my head around the z-axis so i wound up giving my account to my husband and he likes it. the naga is so good for any other kind of game tho, i love having 12 hotkeys right under my thumb whenever i need them.



plus you can change out the... chasis i guess? the top of the mouse can be switched out for other shapes to suit your hand better, which is nice.

* Hoedown could use some more/better instruments. If you are a musical goon and want to contribute proper harmonica (instead of my phasorz kazoo), or clarinet... or banjo... or violin...or just washboard, PM myself and I shall furnish a backing track etc. If you want to sing along, here are chords and words in chordpro format.

holy poo poo hahahaha

i have no musical talent whatsoever, aside from being able to whistle that weeoooweeoooOoooo sound from the good the bad and the ugly (top tier talent), but listening to this while looking at p gab's av is great lol

tbh i hope he does get something out of this, art theft happens all the time (that doesnt make it OK but still) but usually it's just teenagers wanting some internet credit and not someone actually making potential money off of your work

the former doesn't matter but the latter is kind of a big deal

good luck space artist

Catte, fond of board games & anything she can bat around with her paws being highly inconvenient.

:3: omg... we used to have a maine coon just like her, named Bowie for his eyes. Such a good cat, but he had some medical problems we couldn't handle so we gave him to a vet who wanted him and could take care of him better than us.

white cats are so pretty

One of the reasons I got my cat from a reputable breeder was I wanted one that was healthy while still being freaky. Her parents were both tested for the genetic markers for HCM (which killed my last big fuzzball) & she's even had her hearing tested as a kitten.

Knowing my kitty won't die of a broken heart (& breaking mine in the process) was well worth the hassle & cost of getting her imported. Plus I rest assured she can hear me, but just disregards it because she's too good to stoop to acknowledging me.

that makes sense. we never figured out what was wrong with Bowie, but I think maybe he either just didn't like our apartment (we have since got a house) or was allergic to something in the area. after he moved with the vet he was fine and even won some awards at shows.

we wound up going to another breeder after that tho and got Bear and Spice, since we had two cats pass before getting Bowie, who we had to give up. they are assholes but we love them.





related to current thread topic I can't believe they actually copied the background for the pic too LOL. i mean i should believe it, given what we've seen before, but holy cow. literally no aspect of the art is original
