Short of being afflicted with a rare sort of 6 month nostalgia, I feel comfortable telling them where they can take their adhom :^)

2019-03-17 23:43:51 UTC  

yup, that sort of thing happens too. I suspect it has to do with what your expectations are going in though

2019-03-17 23:48:25 UTC  

Yeah come on, that was half a year ago. This is today. Get with the times and stop living in the past like an old man!

2019-03-17 23:59:11 UTC  

it's also fun telling people about cool shit they didnt know about in games they played ages ago

2019-03-17 23:59:30 UTC  

like when I found out that there were people who didnt strafejump through 90% of Return to Castle Wolfenstein

2019-03-18 00:04:47 UTC  

lol

2019-03-18 00:08:33 UTC  

What blows me away is playing an amazing 20+ year old game for the first time. You 'get' the game because you've played others from the era, so age isn't a problem. It being old, yet fresh and great to play is so surreal

2019-03-18 00:09:14 UTC  

As an aside: I played Dead Space this year for the first time and was very pleased. It's actually a highlight of my year. And that isn't even that old

2019-03-18 00:15:07 UTC  

@RoadtoDawn it's hard to get into something old and the fan base has chilled out but you just want to talk about it. Ive read five out if the six original Dune series and I'm dying to talk and see art about it etc and it's as old as my mom lol

2019-03-18 00:17:33 UTC  

I'll get talked into getting into something, and by the time I'm caught up they've already moved onto something else to be excited about. It's a losing battle with friends lol

2019-03-18 00:23:05 UTC  

Exactly

2019-03-18 00:40:18 UTC  

I love Dead Space. I even liked the third game, even though they did everything they could to make it bad. As much as I hate what EA did to it, I have to appreciate how they ended the series.

2019-03-18 01:33:51 UTC  

Dead Space was a good starting point and it's a shame they didn't take it in the right direction

2019-03-18 01:36:27 UTC  

tbh the regenerator (in 1) should have been a consistent enemy, like Nemesis or Mr X

2019-03-18 01:50:40 UTC  

I don't know, I'm not really one to actually learn how the mechanics work, so the sections with him were super stressful.

2019-03-18 01:50:53 UTC  

I don't know if it would work for the whole game.

2019-03-18 01:50:57 UTC  

thats what I liked - the rest of the game wasnt stressful enough

2019-03-18 01:51:16 UTC  

too often they'd set up a good scare only to blow it early

2019-03-18 02:02:12 UTC  

I dove right into 2 afterwards. I couldn't get into it right away, but only because there were some tweaks to the controls and movement. I'll pick 2 back up soon enough

2019-03-18 16:51:36 UTC  

Lol, I love that NZ gets ranked number 1 in personal freedom

2019-03-18 16:52:54 UTC  

He's facing a pretty harsh prison sentence too, assuming I heard correctly

2019-03-18 17:13:27 UTC  

so many people on facebook posting that its trumps fault for allowing it to happen or the guy was right wing... Im really conisdering just removign my facebook

2019-03-18 17:16:41 UTC  

How on earth is it Trump’s fault that a guy from Australia did a mass shooting? That is beyond absurd

2019-03-18 17:19:45 UTC  

@Salacious Swanky Cat if you have to ask, you are part of the white problem

2019-03-18 17:20:07 UTC  

Lol

2019-03-18 17:22:09 UTC  

I'm on a discord server where one of the people on it floated the conspiracy that _someone on trump's team set it up as a way to "district" from trump_

2019-03-18 17:22:16 UTC  

people will find ANY reason to blame him for literally fucking anything

2019-03-18 17:22:23 UTC  

Presumably because people believe that Trump is driving the increase in ethnonationalism that this guy subscribed to, instead of the other way around

2019-03-18 17:23:08 UTC  

which I find stupid either way, because Trump's obviously NOT an ethnonationalist

2019-03-18 17:23:15 UTC  

of course, no matter how many times you say that, they don't listen

2019-03-18 17:24:52 UTC  

So Trump isn't Hitler?

2019-03-18 17:25:05 UTC  

Yikes that link...

2019-03-18 17:25:07 UTC  

lol

2019-03-18 17:25:29 UTC  

Either way, it seems like they think this is somehow a top-down motivation. Maybe that's why they want more government control. Hmm...

2019-03-18 18:02:52 UTC  

I posted some screen shots from my Facebook of two people I was friends with...

2019-03-18 18:19:49 UTC  

Ya, so much of that was just nonsense.

2019-03-18 18:20:03 UTC  

(that people sadly believe)
