Guitarist Mike Einziger may not play the fastest or have super technical solos or whatever but the guy is an absolute musical genius. Also, listening to their albums, you might think there are a lot of electronic sounds that they can't reproduce live. I was one of those people, and I was wrong. Mike operates a massive pedal board to give us many of these sounds and they have a DJ to fill in the gaps. And then there's Brandon Boyd who may start out a little shaky on vocals as he's getting older but after he warms up (and takes his shirt off) will hit every note and sound amazing.

Comment on US closely monitoring case of lab worker who ‘possibly’ died of plague in Siberia, says Marco Rubio in ~health
PraiseTheSoup Link ParentYes, Ebola kills too quickly to spread itself effectively. Considerably quicker than plague. And also much more violently.

It's probably the weakest episode in an otherwise incredible show and if you only watched this episode you would have absolutely no idea what Bojack is even about.

I get what you mean but it's really funny to me considering all the best armors in this game showed the most skin. My elementalist's outfit was impossibly slutty, and monks wore loin cloths and somehow got armor from tattoos.

Comment on What games have you been playing, and what's your opinion on them? in ~games
PraiseTheSoup (edited )Link ParentI hated this. I don't want guns in my medieval fantasy games. As far as I know there have never been guns in FE before, so why start now. I bought a Switch 2 before they announced Fortune's Weave...literally in the prologue a character has a laser gun
I hated this. I don't want guns in my medieval fantasy games. As far as I know there have never been guns in FE before, so why start now.
I bought a Switch 2 before they announced Fortune's Weave specifically in anticipation of a new FE title, but so far I've only played a few hours and they haven't been that fun. I'm hoping it clicks soon because this was a very expensive game.
I can't tell you the last time I paid full retail for a video game...probably back in 2020 for Cyberpunk 2077 and we all know how that turned out.Edit: not true I bought Elden Ring and FE: Engage day one

Comment on Is Aniimo’s AI usage as obvious to anyone else? in ~games
PraiseTheSoup LinkI played the game for about a half hour and it just gave me such an ick feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I uninstalled it. I can't stand how every f2p game plays the same now anyway.I played the game for about a half hour and it just gave me such an ick feeling that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I uninstalled it.

Comment on Minecraft developer Mojang has announced that the Sift is coming to Java and Bedrock Edition in 2027 – the game's first new dimension in over fourteen years in ~games
PraiseTheSoup Link ParentMinecraft exists on a plethora of platforms, the majority of which do not support mods. PC players, especially those running Java edition are, in fact, the minority. This isn't about personal...Just mod that in?

a personal UI enhancement
This isn't about personal tastes, this is standard functionality for any modern game that includes crafting. The fact that the crafting game, backed by the bottomless pockets of Microsoft, hasn't provided any meaningful updates to inventory management in 14 years is frankly inexcusable.

Comment on What is your dream game? in ~games
PraiseTheSoup Link ParentThis is an excellent write up. I wouldn't change anything.This is an excellent write up. I wouldn't change anything.
Had to get new tires on the truck before the snow falls which cost me $1200 and then we went to a "haunted trail" event at a nearby arboretum. It's a big fundraiser for them and pretty cool to see but we waited in line for over an hour and then the crowd was so dense moving through the trail that we could pretty much always see the scares coming as they happened to people in front of us. It was a bit disappointing but still glad we went.
