We all joined this forum when we were like 13, but now we're all in our mid twenties

Glad you prefer the Failure version Throwback to the time Codeine pretended to be Slint

You know you're 25 when you're too tired to go out cuz you pregamed too hard

It's good that you value other things above sex, but when you're dating someone, they need to know you're attracted to them or it'll just feel like an awkward friendship

I think if Lateralus didn't have that 20 minutes of garbage at the end, it would be hands down the best album. But Aenima holds a special place in my heart because my local alternative rock station loved playing 46&2 when I was driving home from high school. 10,000 days is kind of neglected by a lot of people but it still holds up 13 years later Also Dax if you prefer the APC version of the nurse who loved me, I want a divorce

In light of all the Tool hype lately, can we talk about how good 10,000 Days is from beginning to end? And the only album worth buying a physical copy of

Just listened to it and it's legit. Didn't know they were even still making music

Great band

It definitely panders to millennials

It's really good. Africa got a ton of hype (at least in America, idk how much airtime it got in Aus), but honestly it's one of the weaker tracks cuz everything else on the album is so good. Especially no scrubs

I hate everything about myself lol

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! That definitely looks like a game I'd love to play

It's a good point. If your game looks like a clone of RuneScape with different graphics, then you need to be prepared to overcome that prejudice. Looking at the first Google result for ItsyRealm, I think it'd help a lot to just talk about the traits that make your game enjoyable, not what games you drew inspiration from. So talk about the sense of adventure, character progression, world-building, etc. instead of saying "It's basically RuneScape but 2d". Another thing: I know your game is 2d-ish and the engine probably isn't as full-featured as Unity or Unreal, but environmental effects and aesthetics are so important to how a game is perceived. The right ambient lighting, color grading, fog, particle effects, and skybox go a long way in making your game more appealing

If you're just looking for people to play test your game, literally sit down with them and have them play in front of you. You'll get the most valuable feedback by observing people instead of relying on them giving you notes. That's how our UX testing at work tends to go, we just watch you use the software and fix any issues we see, and ignore most of what you tell us lol

Also I never got into Elbow cuz the albums they had when I first heard of them weren't particularly good (their "build a rocket, boys" album, which was referenced by the oceansize song "build us a rocket then, you rocket-building [bleep]s", which came out at roughly the same time), but their last 2 albums have actually been pretty good. I'd put them roughly on par with Pianos Become the Teeth in that they aren't the most technical band, but they're indescribably cathartic to listen to (they censor "glory be, these [bleep]ers are ignoring me" lol)

Like kindergarten + mouse I think child mouse?

Just putting it out there that I will vote for Jeff Bezos as president if he gives me $10,000

Wait, Estonian Guy is Saq?

Unity is just Scratch but 3d But really though I've been messing around with Godot. It's kinda surprising how much more intuitive it is, coming from a software engineering background

This is the most iconic moment of his presidency. Piles of cold quarter pounders and filets of fish sitting on silver platters [bleep] you Jeff Besos.

I went to a restaurant that was on Diners drive ins and dives (I think before the episode aired?) and it was just super depressing inside. We were the only ones there

You can tell that Oceansize used to open for Elbow

Big Dick Nick

oh ok
