  1. Gunship is bad fucking ass.
  2. I ain't about to dissect this into subgenres. Just gimme dat W A V E
  3. 2019 was the year of Synthwave for me and I listened to it almost exclusively when drawing or driving around. Post your faves, I still wanna discover more of it.
  4. To get hedges you have to do the special nature tasks for nook miles (it should be the first task on the list thats green) go talk to nook in the center and he should give your the recipe for hedges! We need to show off more pics of our islands. I wanna see what everyone is doing with their's.
  5. Just watched the Dead Don't Die. Pretty disappointing. The trailer was incredibly misleading, but it was a Jim Jarmusch movie and I don't know what I expected. It has it's moments, but they are few and far between.
  6. I watched Threads last night. It fucked me up.
  7. Ok so, I just kinda want to talk about the shit I liked and didn't like in this game. I'll post some non spoilery stuff, and then tag the major plot stuff. Cause it's hard to talk about it without giving away too much. Not about the original. Everyone here should know Cloud dresses up in drag, and that Aerith dies halfway through the original game etc etc. But there are some pretty big.... surprises in this game. That shouldn't even be a spoiler because the sheer fact that this game even exists is a fucking surprise at this point! Anyway here's some of my random thoughts. I don't mean to post a big ol' long review, but this is a pretty huge game, and it gave me a lot of feels. So I'm pretty damn familiar with the original game. It wasn't my first FF game, and it isn't even my favorite. But I'm a big fan of it. So playing this new one is a total mindfuck. You have the story beats in your head, but then you have so much more going on here. I loved the new character development and new characters themselves. Biggs, Wedge and Jessie are fantastic, Barret has been given a big boost from a big dumb oaf to a charismatic leader with a lot of heart. Tifa and Aerith are charming as hell and it's awesome to see their friendship form here. And I like Cloud's subtle characterization. He tries so hard to be a badass, and he is. But he is also kind of a loser and I love that. Combat is equally impressive. It's feels very satisfying, especially Tifa. She plays very well and is just a badass. It's also surprisingly difficult. I never felt stuck, but some real tactics are needed here. I'd get killed by a boss then have to work out what I did wrong and what combo of materia/moves I needed. It made me feel smart for figuring out how to work around killing things more efficiently. The music is a mixed bag here. It's exciting to hear certain tracks and really gets you pumped. And I really like that the classic battle theme isn't what is used for EVERY fight. Some of the different areas re-purpose those themes as fight music. And works well. But some of the new, re-imagined music isn't all that great. I hate the new Wall Market theme for one. An I wish the boss fight music was worked in more/better. But mostly it's great. I feel like the game is a bit more padded than it should be. I really wanna know what it's like for people who haven't played the original. Ok time for heavy story spoilers.
  8. I'm watching the credits roll now. I have.... thoughts. Not bad ones really. But it's a Nomura game.... Dude likes to be as out there as Kojima sometimes it seems. I'll come back with spoiler tags and whatnot when I can process it more. Initially thought though? Damn that was good, and I can't wait for the rest.
  9. This has Metal Gear levels of insanity in it and I love it. Its gonna suck finishing this and having to wait until the next two games.
  10. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/09/entertainment/tiger-king-and-i-joel-mchale-trnd/index.html Bonus episode airs on the 12th. Its an aftershow hosted by Joel McHale. I dunno, it looks like it's in really bad taste. Maybe I'm just being sensitive though. And, aside from pretty much just Community, I'm just not a Joel McHale fan at all.
  11. Seriously though, I liked that movie a lot. It's got some Blair Witch and Evil Dead vibes. It creeped under my skin a bit and is staying with me. Its on Prime for anyone with it. It was a fun little surprise.
  12. Ok... I know what you're thinking...
  13. I'm in the middle of this and it is pretty, pretty, pretty, creepy. Antrum is supposedly a lost film from the 70s and has one of those "if you watch it you die" curses. It's pretty gimmicky, but once it starts moving you get past that pretty quick. It's messing with me a little bit. It's got some genuinely disturbing moments, and some rewatch value for hidden symbols and background stuff going on. I have 30 minutes left, but wanted to post some thoughts before I forget. Will come back once it's over.
  14. I like that controller alot for some reason. It's got a switch pro shape to it.
  15. Someone turned their island into Hyrule from Link to the Past https://imgur.com/a/puWsOEf
  16. I've been saying this deserves a second season. There is no way that they covered everything. And I'm just as interested in getting deeper dives into Carole and Bhagavan Soulpatch's stories.
  17. Bunny day is a fucking scam. Also, just so everyone knows, Golden items DO NOT LAST FOREVER. They break too. It's honestly almost enough for me to leave the game alone now. Cause like, why? *This post brought to you by a man at peak cynicism*
  18. I joined the AC discord and there is a whole stalk market chat and I traded 3 gold nuggets and sold my turnips for a cool 1.9 mil. And its nearly gone already ha! Going spider hunting tonight.
  19. Turnip prices people! I bought mine at 93 bells. Today they are selling for 55 bells in my town. Anyone got anything better?
  20. I heard an interesting take in that, Joe Exotic, while a piece of shit, gave a bunch of ex cons and misfits a place in the world. And that a silver lining is that, at least for a time, he truly cared about these people, and the animals at one point. The documentary really chronicles how this man falls apart over the course of human greed and various setbacks and tragedies. I kinda think Carole Baskin was the worst one of the bunch here. And they all had this weird cult mentality.
