Finally moving into my first apartment in the US next week. It’s in downtown Houston and just barely affordable under my PhD salary. Fairly excited either way! Hopefully it’s haunted!

And we were all worried about Joker while this actual menace has been befowling our society!

SCP-1733 and it’s related work, SCP-2614 (the one with the Sopranos DVD) are both absolutely fantastic! The idea of the red glow/static being the ideological boundaries of the universe is a fascinating concept. I just wish the author wasn’t such a shithead.

Yeah reading the book reports were fascinating! Everyone read the same book, but everyone describes a completely different plot!

Wait I might be dumb but how can it be a turing machine without tape/unbounded memory? If you can create a universal turing machine (as opposed to a linear bounded automata) with only NAND gates doesn’t it mean you’ve solved P=NP? Or am I confusing CS 101 concepts yet again?

The two games that comes to mind where I actually stopped playing to listen to the music would be (the first) Mirror’s Edge and Transistor. Honestly, the hum button alone in Transistor made the game well worth the price!

Mirror’s Edge, more than most video games, was about moments, incredibly iconic bursts of gameplay that made the whole game worthwhile. The crane jump sequence, for example, is one of my favourite gaming moments!

Honestly the Insight Terminus nightfall to unlock the 3rd forge is a wee bit daunting the first time you try it. I solo-ed it pretty easily on my second after I realized what the restrictions were. I was a light level 650 geomag chaos reach warlock.

Aurash, Savathûn and Xivu Arath are some of my favourite video game antagonists ever and we haven’t even met two of them!

https://geoguessr.com/ has given me so many hours of entertainment. I wish google bought it out just to polish the game to perfection...

You know what I’d love to see? More D&D inspired monster hybrids!

Damn those ruggedly handsome Canadians! Damn them all to Hel!

I appreciate your point, but this kind of attention to subtle mechanics only happens to me in a game I’m already very much enjoying, like for instance the doors in Resident Evil or Mirror’s Edge (the first one). Usually, I’m more like:

Well I bought it once already but I wanted to a gift copy and it says the cost is $5.27. Opened it incognito as well. False advertising.

The SGDQ speedrun of Amnesia is super cool, especially for how articulately the speedrunner explains every single strategy as goes along. Plus everything becomes funny as heck!

Maybe we should collectively, as a society, wean ourselves off of Fifty Shades and devote ourselves to Anne Rice. For more wholesome relationships and tasteful movies.

Honestly that headline reads like something from The Jetsons

Hmm, actually dipping salty french fries into chocolate dips tastes great! You never know until you try it.

Wait there’s a Madras in the US? Did you lot run out of city names and started randomly picking them out of the Atlas or what?

Jaime: Guys, we can totally hold them off 😏.....
