| Topic | churches or Popeyes or KFC |
| C-zom 04/17/24 6:56:40 PM #6 | Popeyes has gotten considerably worse in the last 4-5 years imo. Debut chicken sandwich was also of much higher quality than the ones they sell now.
KFC is extremely hit or miss and a lot of their items are ripoffs portion wise. But on a good day, extra crunchy still has an appeal and the seasoning is still solid. I've had churchs a couple times and both times were extremely bland but juicy. But most importantly, biscuits.

They are incredibly faithful to the canon of the Bethesda Fallout universe which, let's face it, is the real one now. No, I'm not talking about NV, I mean if you're a sucker for 2 or especially 1... you're out of luck. I had a good time with it, very much a junk food show.

| C-zom 04/11/24 10:55:14 PM #5 | My biggest forced social adjustment recently is stopping myself from following up on anything someone vents with an anecdote, message, or story. In my head, 100% of the time, I'm trying to relate/sympathize/reframe their problem with my experience. Also 100% of the time, people get irritated at that trait.
These days I just listen, and then follow up with a question that is also about them/continues their thread. Unless I'm asked a question about myself I don't interject with my experiences.

In the gaming studios I've worked in, the writing team would pitch the script to the director and he'd personally work to contact agents to cast the roles, since he'd already know from the finance dudes what's going on. In indie studios, you'd be surprised how far a nice DM and asking their line rate gets you. A lot of the recurring VA are surprisingly affordable, and bored celebrities can happen. E.G: Sean Bean only wanted like 1k for Kholat for whatever reason. Edit: In a huge AAA budget like this, Matt Mercer was obviously offered a generous salary for some easy work and he took the bait, or the same thing happened but they obviously offered him a better contract right after the gag. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |
| Topic | What would you consider an appropriate cost for building a gaming PC? |
| C-zom 04/09/24 1:45:17 PM #51 | If you can find a 6800XT for $500 or less that is still a powerhouse card, too. AMD is having trouble with both supply and drivers for the 7xxx series (And I'm an AMD only user, I hate Nvidia) so I'd recommend skipping out on them for now.
Anyway, you can build a great 1080p PC for under 1k and a solid 1440p one for like 1.2-1.5 depending. It is a trap to buy a 7900XTX or a 4080Ti or anything right now as their cost simply does not outweigh their viability. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |

The game feels at constant odds with itself. How do you make a horror game where the basic movement function is an immortality function? Already fails from that point completely. Also the prequel podcast is so much better than the so called main product its almost embarrassing. What was the name of the podcast? Because the lore in-game was so brief and rushed that I felt like I had to be missing something in how fast they start talking about the "meat" of the game/mystery. Like, almost immediately after you meet that "bruv" guy you already know what's going on. The biggest sin to me was the warden with his holograms and waxing post-humanism. It felt so derivative and sad. And that happens immediately too.

I think 6 gets too much hate. Sure, it's not a great RE game but some people treat it like it's the Sonic '06 of the franchise. The actual gameplay is fantastic, and all you need to do is play the Mercenaries mode to see that. It has one of the most fluid, engaging third person combat systems any game has had -- even to today. The amount of positioning flexibility in dives, rolls, going prone, dismantling enemies or overall just engaging with them is unreal. Too bad it's wrapped up in the worlds worst RE shell lol. They've long since said if they focused on one of the campaigns, made the rest DLC (maybe) and polished up the graphics and presentation it'd have been a slam dunk. Luckily the dumpster fire sold enough to fund RE7 and the creation of the RE-Engine, which is why we're at the point we are today. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg |
