| SovietOmega 02/11/22 1:39:54 AM #30 | Some pals of mine raised my awareness of this game. I'll be giving it a whirl, quite literally too since I plan to roll a Berserker. Big sword go brrrrr. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | Have you ever read Infinite Jest? |
| SovietOmega 01/20/22 4:15:24 PM #19 | I've fallen into a Xianxia rabbit hole these last few years, and the average one of them has more chapters than books have pages, so length is certainly no barrier to entry for me. I've heard of Infinite Jest, even thought about giving it a whirl at some point, but never took the plunge. It seemed like a flavor-of-the-month obsession regardless of how good it might actually have been. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| Topic | Well, you lived to tell about it after the New Year, didn't ya? |
| SovietOmega 01/01/22 5:49:26 AM #4 | It is a new year, I lost in cards against humanity. Much alcohol was consumed. Everything is horrible and awesome. It will be a new year alright. But will it be alright? Only a giant meteor can tell. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | Would you prefer to be cremated or a traditional burial? |
| SovietOmega 12/26/21 8:27:25 PM #16 | Cremated...by the sun. But failing that, normal cremation is fine too. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | Happy Holidays. First 15 people in this topic get Omori or Inscryption as a gift |
| SovietOmega 12/24/21 1:26:05 AM #75 | Starting to poke a bit at Inscryption. Dunno if I'll go through the effort of a playthrough topic, but my initial impressions are mixed. I don't really go for horror aesthetic, but this is all tastefully done as far as I can tell. The card game seems basic and weighted against the player, though assuredly by design...there are certainly layers to uncover here. Really, not knowing the breadth or depth of it, I can't pass judgement, though I can say I am not a huge fan of sacrifice mechanics in card games, which seems to be central to this one. Perhaps in time I will adjust to it...particularly since there's kind of a meta-game element to all of it. I'm already looking at ways to break the mold a bit. Like the very first choice when the guy's like 'hey, play this squirrel', I think 'what if i click everywhere else multiple times to try and annoy this person?'. Or 'oh man, this bear is gonna keep attacking me, but what if I just block with a squirrel every turn?' All in all, it is enjoyable so far. I'm left wondering what the heck is up with the Stoat, as well as the accessibility of literally anything else around the cabin. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | Do you like the John Wick movies? |
| SovietOmega 12/22/21 9:08:00 PM #3 | I'd probably put the first John Wick above the matrix sequels but below The Matrix. Dunno where I'd place the rest of the Wick franchise. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| Topic | B8's 8th Annual Steam Secret Santa |
| SovietOmega 12/22/21 3:41:17 PM #95 | Gifts have been sent and received on my end. I got Neir: Automata and Outer Wilds, both highly desired on my end. Neir is one I've been wanting forever, but only recently got a computer that I felt would give it the smooth play experience I know it deserves. More polygons than OoT and all that *cough*. Still, I hear this one has a lot of replay value, and I've largely managed to avoid spoilers, so it should be a grand time. I almost convinced myself to skip out on Outer Wilds despite all the ravings it has gotten. I was deeply concerned about the enjoyment of the looping experience, but then I watched some gameplay and saw how easy/quick it was to navigate the solar system. Combining that with the way the game keeps track of puzzle progress, and my concerns were greatly diminished. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | Which of these is the most famous fictional character? |
| SovietOmega 12/22/21 4:27:42 AM #9 | Of these options, only Mickey and Santa can really compete. Until Disney buys Christmas and we all start celebrating Happy Mouse Day, Santa will probably continue to hold an edge. Thanks to Super Eyepatch Wolf's latest vid, I am wondering where Garfield will rank among these options. 2nd? 3rd? --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| SovietOmega 12/21/21 12:00:15 PM #385 | swordz9 posted... So after making R5 Rancour Im seeing the suggest builds for Qiqi recommend using Sacrificial or Favonius Sword instead.I guess I could give it to Keqing instead or somethingRancour is still great if you build Qiqi for Phys DPS. Sac/Fav is going to be great if you're wanting to make the most of the Ocean-Hued Clam set. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| SovietOmega 11/27/21 7:56:58 PM #19 | I want to recommend Rogue Legacy, but it is certainly a bit dated now. There is a Rogue Legacy 2 in early access, but I'm waiting for it to be more complete before I bite. For a more pixel-y old school feel, you might like Environmental Station Alpha. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| SovietOmega 11/19/21 11:00:00 PM #11 | Automatic watches are nice, but I prefer manual ones. You flip them over and get like, 3 minutes or an hour of sand falling. Mesmerizing stuff! --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | What type of BED do you SLEEP on???? |
| SovietOmega 11/18/21 3:20:57 AM #3 | Hybrid is what I currently use. Some densely packed individual coils with foam layers on top. Added an inch of latex as well. Got it locally from a mattress place going out of business for a price well under what I'd normally pay for the quality I got. Still going strong years later, though at least that much is to be expected. Still, it wasn't without a solid chunk of research done on my end...certain bed types are better for certain body types/sleep positions/hot-or-cold preferences. Others are just bad in general...like water beds, which aside from general upkeep issues, just don't offer the kind of support you want. Ideally, the ground would be the way to go, but a lifetime of seeking sleep comfort has made that all but impossible for me. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| Topic | What should be our method of administering the death penalty? |
| SovietOmega 11/16/21 12:38:03 AM #5 | Killing them so fast would give them an easy out from the world. No, I propose we do something extra mean to them. Lock them away in a small area where they have no meaningful comfort and have little but their own thoughts to keep them company. They'll spend years coming to grips with the consequences of their actions. They might still be fine with it all, but it won't matter because they're locked away from society. As an extra bonus, they can be made to do things like clean up highway litter or make cheap consumer goods at a rate that would make even the Chinese blush. Finally, after decades of being denied a means of egress from the situation they have landed themselves in, natural causes will inevitably occur. They will thusly pass on, problem solved, no messing about with expensive injections or messy dull axes or giving lions a taste for human flesh. Truly, old age is the only way to go if you want to maximize their suffering! --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | If you can SOLVE this BRAINTEASER, then i'll be surprised!!!! |
| SovietOmega 11/13/21 8:08:50 PM #4 | The result is indeterminate, as these animals might be on Earth, or might be deep in the gravity well of Jupiter. There is no way to know for certain. Thankfully, the kilogram was redefined a few years ago, so even if the international prototype kilogram were stolen, we would still be able to determine exactly how much a kilogram is, so we can eliminate that as a potentially conflicting variable. Although, you'll still need some pretty advanced alchemy to merge these three things all together. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| SovietOmega 11/11/21 10:13:37 PM #6 | The snail wants to be very efficient, so it will obviously choose to travel 3 daytimes before any nighttimes set it back. This will require some negotiation with the fundamental laws of the universe, but luckily those are arbitrary in mathematical problems. Thus, it takes the snail 3 days. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| Topic | Did I miss the Squid Game topic? *Spoilers maybe after first post* |
| SovietOmega 10/12/21 5:07:13 PM #45 | I'm only a few episodes in, but I'm getting some strong Kaiji vibes from the series. Deadbeat loser of a guy with gambling addiction falls prey to nebulous underground organization running crazy gambles modeled after simple games? That's both the series in a nutshell. Though, Squid Game seems to be going for more shock value and emotional punch than the psychological desperation that permeates Kaiji. I bet if you like one, you'll like the other, so if you want to scratch more high-stakes gambling iches, I can heartily recommend Kaiji. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| SovietOmega 10/09/21 3:17:38 AM #363 | Finally got around to viewing the last what if episode. Not that I'm going to hold that against the episode...there's only so much you can realistically expect to be accomplished in the allotted time, and Marvel displayed some fantastic efficiency getting this much done. That said, I liked it, and will enjoy seeing where the next half goes. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| SovietOmega 10/01/21 12:37:09 PM #25 | First thought was Megalovania. Didn't have a second thought. Digging a little deeper, Minecraft might win with some of its chill music. Skyrim has that one motif going for it. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | Bandai Namco changing their logo |
| SovietOmega 09/30/21 10:50:56 PM #8 | I quite like the vertical name version of the new design. It has a blocky charm that is efficient and crisp. Not so wild about the color choice for the surrounding bubble though. It probably has some deep significance the marketing teams drummed up, I wager. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
| Topic | Was FFX the last good mainline final fantasy game |
| SovietOmega 09/29/21 3:42:44 PM #25 | UshiromiyaEva posted... But I also know that basically nobody is ever going to believe people who say that if they haven't played the game themselves. I sure wouldn't! It's still quite a shame though. At least the first 200 hours or so of content are completely free.As someone who has never played FFIV, this aligns with my thinking. I'm sure I'd probably like it if I tried it, but even with now being perhaps the best time to jump in, I'm content to let it pass by. XIV might be the correct answer to the question posed, but for me, X was the last one I personally enjoyed. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |

| Topic | Why are there no good strategy/city builder type games on the phone? |
| SovietOmega 09/25/21 11:49:55 AM #3 | If the premise is valid, it is probably do to the limitations and expectations from the phone gaming market. People expect quick little diversions on their phone and development skews towards that. There are also a lot of computations that would go on under the hood that would demand a certain level of power to realize. To say nothing of managing all of it with a touch screen interface. Honestly, I'd say the market is the biggest limiting factor here...if the demand were high, a way would be found to make it happen. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out |
