I've done both

Have you played System Shock or System Shock 2?

I bounced off of SS2. I played SS a couple years back and it's great

You bounced off of SS2?

Yeah. It's quite slow and I wasn't getting into the narrative or setting enough to make up for that

There's a lot of extra shit that slows down the game more, and your spec means large chunks of gameplay are just locked off in a way that doesn't feel terribly necessary, at least near the start

SS can be pretty obtuse, but at least the core gameplay mechanics respect your time

Also why I didn't care about the reboot, fwiw

I don't remember a time limit in System Shock 2 but I played it a while a ago.

Not a time limit, there's just a lot of bloat

Like SS1 has a lot of features, but none of them are "stay here and balance all these vats of chemicals" or "you didn't level up guns enough so fuck this loot". They're all part of the core thing you're doing as you progress

Which is shooting shit and fixing shit

Or selectively breaking shit at least

looks like The Verge deleted that awful PC building vid

only after they got those sweet CapitalOne shekels i'm sure

the guy also deleted the tweets deriding the critics

Maybe those critics sent messages to Capital One and let them know how those they sponsored were acting and how that behavior clearly reflected the values of Capital One as a company.

lol they removed the video

looks like the article is still up https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/13/17828092/gaming-pc-build-custom-how-to-asus-intel-geforce-cost

Some old horror comics, a genre wiped out in comics by *Comics Code Authority*
These stories were printed in the fifties, & they are still surprisingly gruesome.

arent those the ones that created the creepy pasta genre of movies?

I am not sure what that means...

you never heard of the creepy pasta genre?

the begining of the slasher films?

Okay, slashers I have a better Idea of. My creepy pasta knowledge tallies some Slenderman stuff & that is.

nah

lol

well,that modern stuff

talking 60s early 70s

where they just went with urban legends and starting making slasher films

Does anyone have the link to the video where they swapped trump and clinton's lines?

Of the stories I have read so far, they feel more like more gruesome Twilight Zone episodes, but I can't speak for other horror comics of the era.

wow

they changed the meaning of creepypasta

it was a movie genre

i learned about it when i was working in blockbuster

guess kids now just know about slenderman

the most absurd monster ever

Slender man was kinda fine for what it was, which is to say a few creepy photo shops & shoddy videogames. But then a business tried turning it into a live-action movie...

there was a famous old cult film about canibals in the amazons
