    so the devs of caves of qud have been dealing with an influx of goobergate types flooding their discord and reddit

    apparently one of the bigger 4channer youtubers did a video review of the game, and while the review was positive, it still brought the attention of a lot of toxic folks who mostly just want to know why the story's evil fascist faction aren't playable, come on guys, they're just asking, come on

    anyway I bring this up because they've done a great job of dealing with the situation and made a twitter thread talking about how

    Love to see it. They're right in that those CHUDs are not unstoppable, it's just that many communities are not willing to take the steps necessary to stop them. Step 1 is stop letting them pretend that they're acting in good faith, everything from that follows pretty naturally.

    Even if Fuser isn't a super good game, it looks like an awesome music creation tool/toy, look at all the stuff they added for their freestyle mode like creating sample loops and queueing up multiple tracks

    I also upgraded my card because Total Warhammer 2 was gettin real choppy in battles, at times. More than one reinforcing army almost certainly meant my frames were going to crater hard the second effects happened on the screenspace.

    3080 noise is going to depend a lot on specific manufacturer and their fan config, also.

    I mean, Dropmix showed me that even if I'm not a huge fan of a song in toto, I can enjoy mixing parts of it with other songs.

    That's cute but also we are all monsters for reaping and gutting millions of pumpkins every year and using their hollowed out corpses as fanciful decorations for a holliday chiefly concerning the dissemination of sugar to children in small disguises.

    Same. Still rocking a i5 2500k. It has held up remarkably well

    Maybe Cyberpunk will be the thing that finally makes it buckle (if I even get Cyberpunk, definitely waiting on public reception at this point)

    The Griffin-2N is an absolute monster of a mech. W/ changes to the game since launch, the engine sinks 60 heat per turn instead of just 30, so you literally cannot overheat it in the mission where you get to run one (in an arctic biome). Max jump, full alpha every turn? No problem!

    Unfortunately, you don't get to keep that one. And the only way to pick one up is to find one (or three pieces) in the black market. Same with the Zeus-5T. You won't face one that you can salvage.

    The Flea-4 is out there in the wild, somewhere, so that's bad luck. It's hard hunting specific light mech variants in the late game because you have to troll around 1/2 to 1 skull planets hoping to get lucky.

    RB4 DLC is the only way I keep up on new music nowadays.

    Edit: convenient timing on this... official playlist. I think it’s a safe guess you’ll know a bunch of these.
