  1. The funny thing is this Battlefront game isn’t even a remake (like THPS was in terms of rebuilding the graphics from the ground up), it was just a remaster as they just upscaled the resolution and textures. The developer even stole from a modder after saying they wouldn’t, and the modder didn’t get any credit for it. I also don’t know how you launch a highly anticipated game with only 3 servers for a total of like 200 people to play online. So much incompetence
  2. I gave up and got a refund. That Aspyr developer is absolutely trash, they got taken off the KOTOR remake because they were fucking up too much
  3. The backing tracks are fine for the instruments they don’t play (synth, piano, etc). I am not a huge fan of them for the guitar parts, particularly when it’s the only guitar playing as Tom is not strumming but you still hear it. Ideally Tom would just use a loop pedal to have one playing while he plays the riffs on parts that involve multiple guitars. I think everyone is correct here. In most aspects, the band is the best they’ve been (getting along well, writing solid new material, taking live performances seriously and not getting hammered beforehand, etc.), but I totally get the backing tracks issue as they sound less authentic live and their fast playing, consistent fuck ups was one of their endearing qualities during their prime imo.
  4. Some of you guys could use a big dose mushroom trip NQAT
  5. Apparently some of the aim assists were the default on the originals but turned off now, I’m going to check out the settings
  6. Clarke: “well I guess Mark hates Chileans then”
  7. The aiming/sensitivity on PS5 is fucked. I’ve given up until they figure it out.
  8. Clarke is permanently in honeymoon phase whenever cum is involved
  9. I will take your word for it since you seem to have experience getting kicked out of a band.
  10. This works for me https://m.twitch.tv/brunoclozel
  11. Yeah it kind of reminded me of Jesse Lacey without the underage issue.
  12. They were huge about a decade ago. Won the Grammy for best album in 2011 and were one of the first indie bands to crack mainstream appeal.
  13. They have some good songs. Rebellion (Lies) is great.
  14. Arcade Fire got cancelled where I live. For perspective, they used to get heavy radio play (probably a top 5 band in terms of the amount of radio play they got here over the last 10 years or so). This is because we have dumb cultural protectionism legislation where radio stations need to play at least 33% Canadian music and Arcade Fire are Canadian. Once this news broke, I haven’t heard Arcade Fire on the radio.
  15. Tom going for dinner and posting a photo with Win Butler of the Arcade Fire. How does the woke crowd here feel about that? From his Wikipedia: According to a Pitchfork article published on August 27, 2022, four individuals have accused Butler of sexual misconduct, with some saying he initially contacted them on social media.[24] Butler said all contact with the accusers was consensual, and he denies all allegations of misconduct. In a statement to Pitchfork, a representative for Butler acknowledged he had sexual interactions with each of them, but said they were not initiated by him and were consensual. Chassagne corroborated his statements.[25] On November 22, 2022, Pitchfork published a follow-up article detailing Butler's manipulative interactions towards a fifth person. These interactions were described by the individual as "Emotionally abusive, manipulative, toxic, and using his power dynamic to exploit my body at times that were convenient for him."[26]
  16. I finished Blindsight recently, was one of the more unique sci fi alien first encounter stories. It is based more on biological implications than anything else. I only found out after finishing it that the author went to the same university as me and has a PhD in zoology. It was a fairly dense book in terms of fully grasping the concepts at play. I’m about midway through Death’s End, which I’m alternating with Passport to Magonia and Shogun. Really enjoying all of these books for completely different reasons.
  17. The old school SW Battlefront drops tomorrow and I am so pumped. The game is so broken from a balanced/fairness perspective, new players have no idea what they are getting into lol. Hope the servers hold up tomorrow.
