    Ladysmith Black Mambazo School of Music

    Africa getting into metal has been one of the more interesting handoffs in music. If the AP reviews any of the albums they'll have to call it Black metal

    Subnautica

    The first one feels like what you thought Lost was going to be, the second feels like what Lost ended up actually being. The first one has so many amazing gaming memories and almost all of them were due to being completely isolated and stranded. There was no comms chatter when you were deciding...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Not really anything else good but he's probably best known for Brick. His shtick is being neo noire adjacent in that he really doesn't possess enough creativity or writing skills to actually function within the wider realm of neo noir but he transposes old noir character tropes directly into a...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    Yeah, there are world state changes that occur as you kidnap/kill town and faction leaders that make the world pretty chaotic. Taking out the big factions creates a power vacuum that usually gets filled by worse things. There's a mod called Reactive World, I think, that makes things even more...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    It takes quite a while but if you get about 6 or 8 guys that you can just devote to sitting on harpoon or crossbow turrets as their job you can take your main guys out into the world almost indefinitely and have your outpost basically on autopilot. Green in the big swamp town and a bunch of...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    spun this up again. Really can't wait for these guys to release Kenshi 2. Still unbelievable how they made this crazy, buggy, mess so engrossing. Started a new Freedom Seekers game and got plopped down in almost the same place that I'd started up before near a plateau in the southern tip of the...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Frightener's is a great movie and also the reason WETA took off. The entire LOTR trilogy owes it's special effects to that movie

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    The Steam link seems like it would just ok alright for this, their control is pretty great actually, but lag can be a killer for any non-turn based games and especially for a game with as severe of death penalties as this one has. Those split seconds that the steam link uses to connect tv ->...

    Justice League (2017)

    Isn't this the same way we're introduced to Sauron in LOTR? He's this crazy unstoppable badass evil and even more dangerous when he has the one ring except if you just wildly flail at him with a broken sword and accidentally defeat him

    Arizona: Phoenix Suburbs.

    If you're at Banner or St. Joseph's you might also be able to ride the light rail from Tempe and completely avoid traffic in the mornings. I'm near midtown in Coronado and I go the other way, Phoenix -> Tempe, for work and the light rail, while sometimes kind of a mess, is usually preferable to...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Geography plays big into whether a swamp is going to have crypts in it. From what I've seen you need a swamp with a decent amount of actual landmass and the only landmass that really counts is the swamp area that isn't reaching out into the coastline and touching ocean. When you sail by a swamp...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    yeah, you are kind of limited to the daytime to run around and build things and play right now because the nighttime is brutal on our server. The only place that you're safe from those stupid goblins is in biomes with equally dangerous things to a starter

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Me and @Bandwagon were pretty struck by how crappy it was when we found the first one. It was an entrance with a dead end straight ahead and another to the right, the left lead into the room where stairs go up to a dead end. I think we triple checked that place because it really just didn't seem...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Bronze was tedious but it felt like there was some logic behind collecting the components for it and it forced me to have to figure out sailing in order to branch out for the tin. Iron has been a brick wall for fun so far until I got enough of it to make enough gear to make getting more kind of...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I think the most embarrassing things that've happened to me in this game have been due to trolls and carts. Running back with a ton of copper or wood, troll shows up so I drop my cart and kite him to death, then spend over an hour trying to figure out where the fuck I left my cart. I've had a...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    yeah, tacking is key for this. It's really a decent sailing sim when on the water except for just being able to barrel through storms at full sail. I would add a #4 to your list that the raft is for emergencies and to just figure out that there is and how to use sailing, is doesn't have a lot...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Had my ill prepared seas voyages pay off last night, other than another tense corpse run with @Bandwagon that involved a textbook sail-by extraction and mosquito sniping with military precision, finding two leviathons/krakens and mining enough chitin to make a really nice backstabbing dagger...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    That we turned the game into ferry boat simulator and it was still really fun, probably more fun than almost any other game I've played over the past few years, says a lot about what they've got with this. Trying not to get killed by mosquitos or goblins close to the shore, or sea monsters out...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I think that you'll have the ability to craft new things once you mine/gather whatever new mat the tool unlocks and you'll have to use an appropriate level workbench/forge to repair so if McFly makes you a tool or weapon you'll have to use his benches until you gather enough to make one of your...

    Arizona: Phoenix Suburbs.

    Tucson also has vastly more crime than Phoenix and a fraction of the population. It's always top 10 for property crime, top 5 for rape and up towards the top for violent crime by population density. A majority of the population are incredibly heavy drinkers since the entire city completely shuts...

    Letterkenny

    I think the allure of repetitive accumulation humor has worn off on me, I can barely get through the first three episodes of this season. It feels like they had just a few minutes of material for the whole season so far and have just padded the shit out of everything. Katie rapping and then...

    Truth Seekers

    All around this was really good, awesome seeing Pegg and Frost doing something again, although they don't share a ton of screen time with Frost being A story and Pegg just filling up ovararching C story stuff. Was disappointed this wasn't already an established show with more seasons, looking...

    Woodworking

    Think that I ran through that guys entire channel over a few days of work and throw it on at night when I'm just reading now for the white noise effect of the sawing. Had a rudimentary knowledge of woodworking using power tools going into this year and all of the COVID stuff but ended up...

    Necromunda: Underhive Wars

    This is worse than Mordheim in almost every way, I wish that it was just a re-skin because even though that had issues it was pretty stable and felt polished. Played a few missions and refunded this one, it really feels like it's at an early early-release state. game crashes, AI is just...

    Total War Saga: Troy

    probably the most polished TW ever but I think I'm done with the franchise, it's just pure laziness at this point. I always knew that the AI got crazy bonuses but having all of the numbers present to see has kind of ruined most of this for me. A faction with one province that has 200k+ food...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    that was part of my tactic in warband as well, let invisible wall stop them, also had all of my cav move forward 100 paces then dismount creating a minefield of horse walls where spearmen could just wreck the cav attackers. They really did a good job fixing the skirmish AI, too good

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    went with 100% mounted mongols, once I got to about 75 guys I was pretty much unstoppable so i did the stupid banner quest and now my game is fucked I think. Can't prevent the conspiracy against me and I think that the entire world is about to declare war on me. Going to have to hole up in the...

    Yesterday (2019)

    I think that my only issue with this movie was the romcom aspect towards the end felt off, other than that really good premise and execution and it was perfectly cast. I think that, in alt universe not reality, nobody would have cared at all about any of these songs in their current pop music...
