Expiration dates are usually legit, right? I'm eating a bag of sea salted, mixed nuts and the taste is just not right. Something's off.

I didn't think nuts could expire

Plus I think with expiration dates there's build a pretty big buffer between the stated expiration date and the actual expiration date to avoid getting sued. But that might just be something my mum made up. My mum who then doesn't risk it anyway.

Just finished working on my evolution system

Time for Don't Starve and chill..

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What happened that was "gay"? a guy was nice to another guy means he wants to fuck him?

People that think anyone but straight white males are the only good guys scare me.

I didn't even know nuts could expire.

I didn't either, but this bag has a date of August 2016. But like I edited in on my other previous post, it's just these Brazil nuts. They don't taste like any I've eaten previously.

I have a story about this

 

[jasonng]

You guys can't add "and chill" to everything if you aren't getting any string with it.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go cook and chill.

 

[Risgroo]

Is it wrong of me to think my friend was being sexist for thinking this meant gay?

Because this is exactly the scene they talked about as evidence.

I don't think it's sexist, but it's weird to get so worked up about a fun little theory.

 

[Jobbs]

People that think anyone but straight white males are the only good guys scare me.

I don't really think anyone's sexuality in the movie was explored. The movie made no statements about anyone's sexuality except possibly Fenn's, who asked Rey if she had a boyfriend presumably because he had a crush on her.

There's nothing to say on whether Poe's gay. The movie doesn't address it. It's a pointless waste of time discussion!

Today was

Superbestfriendcast
PS i love you xoxo
Super desperation radio
on Mega64 currently and Giant bombcast for later

mostly gaming stuff

Nice, I'm really into Giantbombcast after listening to the GOTY multi day entries.
Its actually more entertaining than most comedy podcasts.

Today for me is :

How Did This Get Made
Nerdist Writers Panel
Comedy Bang Bang
TED Radio Hour
Today I Learned

Dude, I know it's been stated many a time before, but your game is stunning. Like seriously beautiful.

Hahaha! While those two have great chemistry (even given what little screen time they actually have together), that gif strikes me as reading a tad too far in between the lines.

Co-signed on this. Jobbs, this is probably the first Metroidvania-esque game that I've been genuinely excited for in years.

I'm so hyyyyyyped

nice

Can't watch twitch streams without podcasts
Can't go to town without having one in phone
It's getting too much lol

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I'd rather they be good friends because platonic love/friendly appreciation is underrated and not everything has to be sexual.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Poe's sexuality is completely ambiguous and I hope it stays that way. There's no harm in a little fun shipping though.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Don't Starve and chill sounds so wrong.

I had no idea Oscar Isaac was in the new Star Wars. That's awesome.

Damn yo. I feel like the only person on the planet in the galaxy who has not yet seen this movie.

[Lucian Cat]

It was so hot last night I could barely sleep. And I'm going to a concert tonight so I won't get much sleep after that. Gonna be a legit zombie tomorrow morning.
At least today should be easy. 2 people in hospital and 1 died on Monday. It's a bit quieter than usual lol.

 

[Jobbs]

Dude, I know it's been stated many a time before, but your game is stunning. Like seriously beautiful.

that's really nice to hear, thank you I've been staring at it so long I can't tell anymore

I can really see the Ghibli vibe....but is the main char Samus-inspired by any chance?

yeah, and there's a long history behind why it looks that way. The game originated as something that is a bit more of a Metroid homage than it is now, but since it was Kickstarted I had to keep the character design in line with what was shown in the KS. I didn't want to change the spirit of what people seemed to like -- I'm married to the decisions of the past still.

The game is has a lot of things in it that aren't in any Metroid game. You can tell the difference pretty quickly once you play it. It has a great emphasis on story and characters that 2D metroid games never really did. It also has more RPG elements and the whole pet system.

The game is also, gameplay wise, pretty obtuse and even somewhat hardcore.. Though balancing will probably be done up until the end

Looks good. You got a good composer? Every side scroller needs great tunes.

I have a good bit of music already, from a total of 3 different people (myself, roger hicks, and this guy I met named KarmaZ who is awesome)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud1XmOXQ-JA&list=PLrXjZ11Pl7WbO-F1qOvfTUpkjoKCjfy8m

if I need something new (and who knows, I might) maybe I'll PM you and see what you can do

 

[AcridMeat]

Edit: that KarmaZ track is great.

I listen to too many sometimes
You get addicted sometimes

Podcasts are excellent, but as you say I have to tug myself away from being an active listener to too many at a time otherwise it's just too much.

I haven't missed a week of the Bombcast since I started in like 2009 though which is crazy.

Hahaha! While those two have great chemistry (even given what little screen time they actually have together), that gif strikes me as reading a tad too far in between the lines.

Agreed. Didn't even know people were reading into that, I thought it was all in jest for the sake of fun shipping.

By the way you're totally right about the FF track, sounds very similar.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

That music is awesome. Suits the artstyle very well.

Realized the madness when i started relistening to older stuff again just to have something in the background
Had to take a step back after that

 

[Baroquemantic]

I have a story about this

Wow dude. Glad you're okay. Still reading through the thread at the moment. Some of the replies are killing me.

You should see it! It's pretty fun.

I'm definitely gonna check it out soon! I love the Star Wars movies. All of them. Even episodes 1-3.

I have seen it thrice now.

I saw Scott Pilgrim about that many times when it came out, and then several more times when it was released on DVD/bluray.

 

[AcridMeat]

Music is the best thing in life to me, so that's another big reason why I can't get invested in too many podcasts, takes away from music listening time.

edit: Those two tracks have meant I'm now listening to NIN's Ghosts I-IV again.

 

[JeffZero]

Jobbs' game is gorgeous. "Day 1."

I wrote tentative titles for all five books in my series into a notepad just now. With little squigglies and unnecessary tildes galore. It's official; JeffZero is going to get his damn books written or die trying. Shit feels real now.

Hahaha! I wasn't volunteering. I have several years of composition training but am not really qualified to provide the electronic feel that the samples you've provided emphasize (and are pretty good at). That said, if you ever need something either really creepy or really pretty that uses a grand piano, you know where to find me.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I'm so mad I did not back Jobbs' KS.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Same

Doesn't help that I kind of have to pay attention to podcasts. If I stop concentrating it takes me a couple of minutes to realise, normally when I start listening properly again and have no idea what the fuck anyone's talking about.

 

[Numb]

Listened to the Nier OST on repeat for a week straight while reading chinese novels
Burned into my brain.

 

[Jobbs]

Edit: that KarmaZ track is great.

thank you

I have a lot of trouble doing all this VO editing because I can't listen to music while editing it... a weird vibe in here when things are quiet. I hate the silence

I'll never say never

I'm so mad I did not back Jobbs' KS.

thank you, but honestly don't worry about it, the more people that backed it the less comfortable I got. it's unsettling to me. I don't think I could do a KS again.

btw the old general trailer has one of my favorite audio tracks on it, which was by me and roger (I wrote a version of it and then roger composed it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eujm3ZQWjdk

 

[jb1234]

Yeah, there must be a great deal of pressure to deliver with a KS, especially the more money that comes in.

Today marks the first day that there are many pages of this thread I haven't read. I have been, for lack of a better word, in a coma the last 6 hours.

I feel this. 144 pages into my first one now. I keep getting more ideas, too.

Outlines aren't my thing, though. I do this thing where I regurgitate whatever comes into my brain onto paper and call that my outline. Then there's the "holy shit did I write this" phase, which initiates clean up and edit phase.
