I would love to see a Palworld update that changes the balls to cubes. Same animations and effects, same textures, just stretched over a cube.

Does it come with a 5 sided cookie with a hole in the middle?

There’s definitely something special about that era of games. The community would really shine and make creative stuff with relatively limited tech.

This is the mod that’s blown me away the most. They somehow made the limitations of the Goldsource engine look stylish, all the while having some incredible animations and model design. Unfortunately development is temporarily paused but hopefully they pick it up again soon.

Whats funny is that most 20 year old multiplayer games today (at least on PC) are still perfectly playable because the server tech was given to the community, at launch. Battlefield 2 hasn’t been available for purchase anywhere officially in well over a decade, there’s still a dedicated, albiet small community.

I understand that with large, persistent worlds, it’s hard to release that server tech, but at least some form of it should be published. Ie, a smaller variant that maybe just lets a couple people join up as a co-op party, rather than dozens of people running around a large map at random, like in The Crew.

Ive seen some genuinely impressive GoldSource mods pop up in recent years.

Is it possible to learn this power?

That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Don’t forget that they’re buddy buddy with amazon, and have even included amazon sourced ads within the OS at one point.

I would hazard a guess that this was brough up in reference to a meme on this board showing a close up of someone snorting a line of white powder. I can completely understand why that might not be considered suitable for all places and audiences.

The Other Guys. At first glance, it’s a buddy cop comedy that harkens back to Lethal Weapon, but with humor typical to ~2010. But, the more you watch it, the more Zucker brothers esque, 1980s surrealist comedy influences you notice. One of the most subtly weird and funny movies to me, I’ve probably seen it, no lie, 10 or 15 times.

The PS3 fat could only read PS2 disks because it had stripped down PS2 hardware included. It was effectively a PS2/3 combined. This was part of what drove the cost up, so they gutted that hardware from the slim.

PS4s can’t read PS3 disks because the PS3 used a bespoke PowerPC based chipset that was a colossal pain in the ass to develop for. So for the PS4 to have backwards compatibility, they would have had to either A, include PS3 hardware in the PS4 (expensive) or B, create an efficient software translation layer/built in emulator (see “pain in the ass”).

From what I have heard, they smartened up with the PS5. It’s basically just a faster PS4. At it’s core, it’s based on very similar hardware, so it’s easy to make PS4 games run without issue, but the boost in performance allows games designed specifically to take advantage of it.

Mazda. Reliable, reasonably priced, good performance, an option for every type of driver (from RWD roadster to full sized SUV), gorgeous design language. I think people are going to look back on the current Mazdas and think they aged like fine wine. They’re also one of the only brands I can think of that have a truly unified design language across all models (besides maybe Audi and Mercedes)

Rookie. Sneeze into the back of your knee, then we can talk

Oh 100% agreed. I think it was the Song of Susanahh especially that I thought could have been cut down by about 50%.

And yeah, it would definitely be nice for him to see his work faithfully adapted. I do selfishly hope he takes a backseat creatively though. He’s a phenomenal writer but a terrible filmmaker (imo).

Thank you, and yeah I’ve struggled with shinsplints on and off in the past so going slow really helped (and finding decent shoes).

Good point, I shouldn’t have used the world ‘literally.’ I was just trying to make the point that there are plenty of creative ways where tremendous amounts of money could end up back in someones pocket when by all means it should have gone elsewhere.

And yes, your example is perfectly believable and I wouldn’t at all be shocked if that kind of thing happened frequently.

Yeah that was a fever dream. On the bright side, Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) is apparently the one in charge of a series coming in the next few years. So that should be pretty solid. Fingers crossed lol

Been running 3x a week as religously as possible since maybe May. I’m using an app called Just Run which is designed to slowly build you up to doing a nonstop a 5k. I’ve really taken my time with it and have just reached the point where I’m actually getting into the 5k sessions which feels great. I’ve also gotten back into a consistent weightlifting regime, so overall this is probably the best I’ve heen taking care of myself since high school.

I don’t have a particular goal besides sticking to it and skipping as few exercises as possible/forcing myself to do it even when I don’t feel like it. It would be cool to graduate to some 10k’s maybe before the new year though.

Them reciting their mantra when they start shooting, or the shrieking they do when they throw the plates, just makes my skin crawl lol. I hope they omit those if they do an on screen adaptation.
