I hate when headlines (well, people in general) use codenames for hardware. I’m apparently supposed to know off the top of my head that Arrow Lake is the newest Intel Core Ultra series cpus released a couple of months ago.

fuckin sick

they’re just experiencing eepiness

if I can get a solid 60fps with ray-traced reflections, I’ll take that over 144. Reflections and shadows do a lot for me

goddamn can sukeban nail an aesthetic

I also prefer the 2012 art to the modern style, but if Mike likes to draw the way he does now then good for him. He’s clearly demonstrated his artistic prowess over the years and I’d guess wanted to make his own exaggerated style. It’s definitely instantly recognizable as his

PA refers to Penny Arcade, a gaming culture webcomic that’s run since '98 that’s linked by Corngood up there. Tycho Brahe (besides being a 16th centure Danish astronomer) is name of one of the main characters in the comic as well as the pseudonym of it’s main writer, Jerry Holkins.

you also get exp-boosting earrings that work until the max level of the previous expansion, and a unique minion (little pet to show off)

it’s not ‘early access’ in that way, it’s just that if you preorder you get access 3 or 4 days early

It’s not meaningless, it’s just evolved into signifying an aesthetic/lifestyle different from the norm. English is a living language, so many words change in meaning over time

I really wish we could go back to smaller scale rpgs that came out more frequently. Tighter, trimmer play areas with efficient stories. They don’t need to have tons of side quests with mediocre at best writing. Just pare it down for shit’s sake

looks cool, I like the music

Quick, someone find a Quimbley Tarantino or something to hire so we can put Q. Tarantino on the script!

I find myself doubtful

of course it’s cheap, it’s filled with spiders. I’m willing to pay a premium and deal with neighbors to avoid my flesh being necrotized

Yeah, sure. Who tf, in 2024, would believe that?

Give Princess Mononoke and/or Howl’s Moving Castle a shot. On average, Ghibli movies are slow-paced and mostly slice-of-life, but those two have more action in them.

Outstanding.

Edit: Unironically. My top 10 films, in no particular order: Alien, The Thing, Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, My Neighbor Totoro, Whisper of the Heart, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Lord of the Rings
