Signals and Grace Under Pressure are probably the epitomes of Geddy's synth fixation for better or worse but both have strong songs under the gloss; Power Windows is underrated and with a really lush production; but yeah, if you dig Hold Your Fire (I do too) you should be on pretty safe ground with those.
Then Presto strips the gloss back a bit to see out the '80s with some very strong songs, leading into a harder-edged '90s. Counterparts from that era is one I go back to quite a bit, Roll the Bones and Test for Echo are maybe less consistent but when they hit, they hit.

Also it keeps swearing to me that there's a lockon button, which makes a red mark appear on an enemy like I'm locking on to them, but it sure doesn't actually lock the camera onto them. It appears to do nothing besides make that mark briefly appear.
I spent 20 minutes trying to kill one monster because I can't get the camera to focus on it, and this starter weapon only has two attacks that hit directly, narrowly in front of you. Most of the 'fight' was spent hitting the ground, trying to run and putting my weapon away, or riding a dog across the map because the monster ran away yet again. When it finally died, I got some monster pieces that let me create...one piece of armor. That is worse than the starting armor I got for free.
I still do not understand Monster Hunter.
What I can find are constant reminders to go buy the new expansion. I can very easily find them, everywhere, at all times.
This is the easiest monster in the game? And it was 30 minutes of mostly chasing it on a dog? Otherwise missing attacks and being knocked over?
This is already incredibly frustrating. I'm not sure I even want to know how long it takes to fight something at high level. Is it just MMO raid length per monster or what?
you won't be needing a souls-type hard lock-on once you're comfortable with it. there's no reason to have one.
your best bet is to hit the training room, try out each type of weapon to see what you gel with most and to familiarize yourself with your buttons and mechanics, then you can focus fully on the monsters.
If you want to go down the road, you can get fans that have integrated humidistats and turn on/off of their own accord. They're the same price as traditional fans.
But, yes, bathroom fans are super easy.

You install a client on the computer, and it'll just back up everything to the cloud, or only specific drives/files if that's what you want.
The intial backup will take a long time, obviously, and will be a problem if you have a data cap with your ISP, but honestly I consider the price for backblaze extremely reasonable for the fact that I can backup unlimited data from a computer to an offsite location.
There are damage numbers...but they're meaningless, because I can't see how much HP the monsters have. I can see I do 10 damage with one move and 20 with another...but, like, does the monster have 500 HP? 50,000? No idea how long I need to hit it at 20 per hit. No clue of my relative power level, if I need to upgrade a weapon, nothing.
I need to know what percentage of the total hp it does. It's a waste of time working to double the damage number if I need to go elsewhere and return when I'm doing 500 times more damage.
What is the button? labelled Normal supposed to be communicating to me here? It takes a normal amount of damage?
Nobody wants to talk about the games I like, or play them when I recommend them. So I don't bother, and wind up with a lot more to talk about with the games I don't like.
I didn't like it. I found it all inscrutable nonsense and whenever anyone told me how to have fun playing MonHun it sounded either like studying for an exam in a subject I didn't like or an actual honest to goodness job.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
I was originally sold this series on it being like PSO, and it isn't close to that either.
You can also exhaust the fan just into your attic, or right at an eave vent.
Anything penetrating the roof should be done by a roofer so that it's properly sealed and warrantied.
Dark Souls took me trying four games before it landed (admittedly, Dark Souls and Remastered counting twice there), but the series seems to be sticking since I’ve completed Remastered and Elden Ring. I’ve been poking away at DS3 for about a month now, a handful of hours every weekend, and after some initial disappointment I’m pretty engrossed. I appreciate the difficulty curve being a little more welcoming for newcomers (minus that first fight, christ), but I was starting to worry that the lack of arcane bullshit meant I’d just grasped the language of the design too well finally, and I wouldn’t get the same panic/anxiety/achievement cycle from these games any more. Asking myself ‘what is the most annoying thing that could happen right now’ for every room was almost feeling like a cheat code.
That generally stopped being sufficient around the time I hit the Abyss Watchers, thankfully. Now it’s the much more fun game of figuring out what bullshit has been included to balance the bullshit I keep running into (seriously, spent an hour slowly grinding out a path, died, thought about it a bit overnight, and then successfully just ran through the whole stretch in five minutes… then died again, repeating a handful of times). Followed by the occasional stretch with no easy answer, just a long difficult stretch of bullshit.
Think I’m in the back 3rd at this point (back in Anor Lando, already cleared that other route). I probably should take a break after this, but the faster pace really makes me want to give Bloodborne another shot.

I love this thread in part because the “I didn’t like this because…” statements rarely makes sense to me but “I liked this because” almost always makes sense even if I don’t agree with it
People’s thought processes are very interesting and different to my own
