I can guarantee you there were people in the 80’s and 90’s who thought music was better in the 50’s and 60’s and so on and so forth all the way back through time since Grog hit two sticks together rhythmically

I believe Sony owns the Helldivers IP, so they may not have had much choice in the matter.

I play coop PVE games with random matchmaking, Helldivers 2 is still a lot of fun with random people.

Ice cream scoopin’, shittin’ poopin’, shittin’, poopin’

But more seriously, MF DOOM (RIP) is one of my favourite artists, but he’s been covered in a few comments already. But one of my favourites from him is:

Getting paid like a biker with the best crank
Spray it like a high-ranked sniper in the West Bank

Yes thankfully, been having fun the past few nights!

Also swapping the .dll file trick worked before the patch to get me a few games on monday

Oh that’s good to hear, hopefully this weekend won’t be too bad. I did manage to get in a few times last weekend, but with matchmaking completely not working I didn’t really want to play by myself anyway.

How is it currently with USA peak times?

Since the first patch this week I’ve had no issues getting in, but I am in Oceania so I’m probably not playing at the peak times.

I haven’t gone past ‘Challenging’ difficulty yet, but the friendly fire makes for some funny antics. Fighting against the robots feels quite different to the bugs too, it can make it feel like a different game.

DRG is great too, although haven’t played it in quite awhile.

I finished Alastair Reynold’s Pushing Ice a few months ago and it’s kind of close to what OP is looking for. Also a really good book!

I’m enjoying Helldivers 2. I’m too old for competitive games and love a good PvE co-op game.

It’s a little grindy to unlock weapons and stratagems, but feels about the same as the first game

I loved the Raised By Wolves intro, the music was beautiful. The show was very love it or hate it and has sadly been cancelled :(

Also loved the creepy? music on the Severance intro.

Poop at work. Not only do you get paid to poop, you save money on toilet paper.

I started playing Darktide around a month and a half ago and I’ve been hopelessly addicted since

What’s the point of Denuvo on an always online live service game?

When I need to get somewhere quickly: Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer

I was incredibly tempted to pre-order Starfield. Everything about it should be right up my alley. I love Sci-fi, space and all things related. But I learned my lesson after pre-ordering Diablo 4. I decided to try out the pirated version shortly after release and was so disappointed and glad I didn’t buy it. I dropped it after a few hours and had no desire to play it after that.

Also coming into it straight after playing Baldur’s Gate 3 made it look so dated. The plastic doll looking NPC’s and animations, boring dialogue and writing. I’m not even that into fantasy/D&D type settings and BG3 drew me in for many hours.

I really hope someone makes a game as good as BG3 but set in space, similar to Mass Effect etc.

Can’t explain it but I’ve been listening to Slipknot’s Psychosocial and Portishead’s Roads a lot lately, after not hearing them for a few years.

Yeah that’s a good take, it’s like a modern Fifth Element.

I have seen Chronicle, but I probably need to rewatch it. Not sure if they just had bad direction or writing, but they seemed more like siblings instead of love interests.

I actually liked Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Both main actors were objectively terrible, but I still liked the movie 🤷‍♂️

Have to agree with you there. The ending was the weakest part of it.
