Haven’t been playing for a long time because I haven’t set up the xbox in a long while, but Borderlands 1. Have been playing that game on and off more than a decade now. I don’t think the base game (playthrough 1 only) on its own is 1000+ hours long, could be wrong, but it’s long enough, especially with the DLCs. I think I’ve beaten playthrough 1 and 2 with 2-3 of the characters and have yet to beat all the quests with any of them because of a certain DLC boss fight quest.

It’s a game I absolutely fell in love with. Started with the 2nd game, which my brother got, but I later got the 1st because I wanted to see how it was compared to 2 and I’m a bigger fan of the 1st game. Played the pre-sequel, it’s fun but not as good as 1 in my opinion, and have no experience at all with 3.

There is Neocities and a few other sites that allow you to make and share your own sites. Though some sites are more than just basic html, so experience will vary, but you can find basic pages dedicated to hobbies and such if you sift through them. Only problem with these sites/services, assuming the other ones are run like Neocities, is that you are given a pretty limited amount of space.

There’s no way my dad would have ever let me (or either of my siblings) celebrate that in either of the jobs he had when I was growing up. Even though he doesn’t work directly with the machinery, a foundry is the opposite of a safe place for kids to be. Same with military weekend drills.

And if I ever have kids, I personally probably wouldn’t celebrate it with them because I think it’s just kinda dumb.

If there were no consequences, I can think of a few different things I’d wanna see.

1. Just out of morbid curiosity, what an atomic bomb dropping looks like when it explodes, being there in person rather than just seeing footage (from a safe distance with protective equipment, just in case I can still get hurt, otherwise get as close as possible if there are absolutely zero consequences to my actions, as if I’m a spectator in minecr*ft).
2. Probably just go back in time and watch as many cartoons as I could back in the early netflix streaming era because I absolutely love cartoons.
3. Definitely go back in time and watch either An American Tail or Fivel Goes West in theaters because I really like both movies.

If we’re talking just the RPG maker series and not any of the creations, XP because pokemon essentials.

Otherwise, it’s close because I love Pokemon Uranium (the game that got banned from too much success and attention IIRC) and the currently still WIP Pokemon Empire (the game where you visit the Telius region and start on a plane ride, to avoid spoilers and also it being mixed up with any other game).

I really like Pokemon Uranium mostly because of nostalgia. Saw videos of people I used to watch who didn’t normally make pokemon content playing it and it’s probably the first pokemon fangame I ever played and definitely the first I finished the main story of. Still waiting for post game to be released and I’m absolutely pumped for when/if it ever releases.

I love Empire it takes baseline Pokemon Reborn/Rejuvenation elements such as field effects and adds a lot to them, has 18(?/one per type) badges planned and the currently available actually feel fair while still being challenging (IMO), changes a ton of moves to make them better (splash lowering accuracy? I’ll take it!), has some pretty cool fakemon (even if they’re not all ones you would see in an official game design wise) with a pretty cool spinda evolution, and even changes the type chart by having normal be super effective against fairy type, making normal have an actual use. Also, you can start with a starter of just about any type, which is absolutely amazing.

Biggest problem with both, in my opinion, is that they rely on discord servers for sharing things like game dev progress/updates and such, like most every other fangame out there.

Depends on the article. Political or most other real world news, probably gonna either just read the headline and any comments. If it’s something that interests me, I feel more compelled to read it, though.

Would absolutely love to see mod makers turn either 3 or NV into a fo1/2 experience because we’re clearly never gonna see remasters of the original at this point.

Probably the best we’d get for story DLCs would be for FO4 or 76 because there’s absolutely no way they’d create new content for a game over a decade old that isn’t Skyrim or the latest entry in another series of theirs that is either fallout or fallout or fallout.

Man can’t fight any fighter his own age because he knows he’d be fucked, so he challenges older men out of their prime. What next? Is he gonna start challenging kindergartners to fight him so he can continue to feel superior?

You got me there.

I thought y’all was just a gender neutral term combining you and all.

How would it be wrong or offensive to refer to refer to trans person as “y’all”? Genuine question.

Media files are proprietary and it’s under the zlib license if that disqualifies anything, but for a somewhat decent experience, there is H-Craft Championship. Not the greatest of games considering it’s a game that originally released in 2007 as a commercial game available for Linux (don’t know about other platforms outside of the 2015 open source(?) release) by some seemingly random independent studio (Irrgheist), but fun enough I guess.

I don’t see many people ever really talking about them at all outside of fans, but Krosmaga and One More Gate from Ankama.

Krosmaga is a deck builder autochess like game (with something like 9 or 10 different classes/dieties with different abilities to build around, alongside a bunch of non-specific cards any class could use in their deck). Place summons/spells to protect your Dofus (dragon eggs, to simplify what they are) and destroy theirs. Matchmaking is either play against computer, who randomly selects class and gets default deck, or just flatout random player. Don’t think there’s any selective matchmaking, sadly.

One More Gate is a short enough roguelite game where you accidentally destroy a portal and have to fix it by beating bosses in new areas, usually after multiple failed runs. Has meta progression, which I personally am not the biggest fan of.

Energetic music in general does it for me.

Songs like Old Hat (Harvey Danger), Brother John (Blues Traveler), 8:02PM (For Squirrels), etcetera.

Though songs I associate with warmer times also tend to work for me.

Don’t know if anyone else is like that, so I don’t know how helpful this is.

The closest I want to AI music is ENUNUNU or Diffsinger, which still require a human(s) to actually put in effort for a good quality song.

But they don’t care because there’s less profit in letting humans be creative.

Come on guys, this was clearly the work of the Demtards hacking his AI and making it call him names. We all know his superior intellect will totally save the world and make it a better place, you just gotta let him go completely unchecked to do it.

Got addicted to AudioSurf 2 over the weekend. Have a small handful of songs on microSD on deck and it’s pretty fun. Otherwise, did some Shotgun King and not much else besides Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. This quarter of college has kinda drained me because of 2 freaking classes I hate.

Don’t know what service you go through or where, buty parents have had the unfortunate pleasure of recording some things (don’t remember what because I don’t pay attention to the TV often anymore of I can help it) through Xfinity and have fast forwarding through the small commercial breaks feature disabled.

I don’t watch it, but I definitely second hand consume it because my parents still watch cable. I don’t really have a choice either since most every night I’m helping cook dinner while my dad watches his nightly reruns of MASH and Emergency (unless it’s something else for a change). The ads aren’t extremely unbearable because they’re aimed at middle-aged to elderly people like my dad, but I don’t care for them.

I personally don’t mind sarcasm online in text form because without that /s I might not even know you’re being sarcastic since my sarcasm meter is set to slightly above autism mode due to practice.
