    The Blues

    Never heard of this guy until a guest mentioned him on Joe Rogan podcast. Stuff starts out pretty normal then holy shit. He's somewhere between Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix but without the mega distortion effects. Some of these runs are fucking incredible but I've never heard anyone...

    The Orville

    Just started watching this on demand. It's better than ST-D. It's like The Next Next Generation.

    The Synthwave Thread

    Never heard of C418 but I guess he did some of the music to Minecraft. His Stranger Things remix is badass:

    The Metal Thread

    Someone said "better Mastodon album than Mastodon has made in years". I agree. If you like Mastodon, Opeth, The Sword, etc. give this a listen.

    Uhh holy shit. These guys are on Dischord and around the same time as Minor Threat. How did I miss them??? Void (band) - Wikipedia Shit is ridiculously hardcore:

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    Playing through Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition now. + Definitely way more hack and slash than the BG series. + Very little story, linear, and no NPC companions. + Damn even some of the early fights are hard even on normal. + You really have to min-max your party. Finished the primary game in...

    Always wondered what the deal is with Bible translation. There are dozens of widely accepted English translations, the full text has been translated to 600+ languages, and the New Testament to over 1400 languages. How many frickin translations do you need? Bible translations - Wikipedia

    Oops thanks for fixing title. ;)

    Rise and Fall of Medal of Honor

    Some great history here besides the inevitable studios closing after EA purchase: - the original MOH was spin off of Spielberg films - EA is inadvertently responsible for Infinity Ward forming, making Call of Duty, and making Activision $ billions

    Total War: Warhammer

    ^ ehh I'm new to TW and loving it so far. Pre-ordered Warhammer TW 2. No interest in their other settings but got to say Warhammer is ideal for this type of game.

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    Good thread. I'd add in 1st World Privilege. These people LARPing as Communists or Nazis have never had to deal with hunger, war, or disease. If you are a goddamn US College student you are more privileged than 99.9% of humans in history.

    XCOM 2

    Finally finished this. Was a real un-fun slog at the start but once my guys finally started not to suck was kinda surprised how fast I reached the last mission. 24 hours played to finish it on normal. Anyway, if anyone picks this up I highly recommend downloading the mods that either increase...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Uhh the learning curve definitively isn't "low". I'd say manageable without being ridiculous. But start with Dwarves I agree with. Definitely the most straightforward race to play. I never played a TW game before and I finished a full Dwarf campaign solo, a full coop campaign with a buddy as...

    XCOM 2

    Finally started this. Uhh holy shit did they up the difficulty compared to Xcom 1? Just on normal and got full party wiped the first mission after tutorial. Google searched and there's dozens of threads about "can't finish first mission". Lol. I'm all for difficulty but at least don't front...

    Lawbreakers PC multiplayer FPS

    Its basically Overwatch but with Unreal Tournament 2K gameplay. Super high skill curve compared to OW due to pure speed of the game. If you liked Titanfall you might like this since some of the classes are super mobile. Anyway, the market is saturated right now with competitive F2P games. I...

    Dude what a bunch of horse shit. If I lived near any Harmony Gold employee I'd burn their house down. Seriously fuck off with these 30 year old bogus copyrights on mech designs that are nothing like the current ones.

    Titanfall 2

    Not sure why they would release this near BF1. Dumb decision. Anyway, very different games: + BF1: slow, many players, anemic guns + TF2: fast action, fewer players, AI bots, pretty much every gun is viable

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Welp, finished it after 86 hours with 1 aborted party maybe 6 hours in. Thoughts: + base game mechanics, combat, graphics, world building are all fricking awesome + the log SUCKS, way too little info, near useless for many quests + many of the puzzles are just way too abstract - instant Google...

    The Handmaid's Tale

    Just started this with the gf. Both really digging it. Never heard of the books but Margaret Atwood must be one kinky bitch. The morality lessons have all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, but as Juvarisx said above it is beautifully shot, sets, and costumes are great. The "sex" scenes are...
