Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@colonelkilgore yeah, main goal for it to be a conversation piece between friends in discord dms, besides that I may forget about it after I beat it since Dynasty Warriors: Origins is my main hyped again now that I’m almost finished with DR;DR and currently just helping someone in DMs get into the series. Pirate Yakuza will be a similar affair, conversation-piece game.
Looking forward to everything though! I’ll probably fit El Paso Elsewhere into my Q42024 plans, as well as some GTA replays on my steam deck via the ps2 emulator. Might mess with mods.

@Yousef- lol, I’ll be lucky to get fit El Paso… in before 2028 😅

@colonelkilgore
Regarding Kill Knight.
I received notification when it went on sale yesterday and did a quick search for reviews. There are a couple out there already on other sites (not that I admit to frequenting or using other sites you understand). The two I read gave it an 8 and a 9 so fair to say it's probably pretty good. You are right - it looks flippin awesome and launched at a more than reasonable price.
Now it only I didn't already have too much to play for the next month or two...

Is that from the same people that did My Name is Mayo? If so, are they doing condiment-verse? The next game will by My Daddies Brown Sauce.

God I hope so. It mayo be the mustard plan to ketchup to.

@sorteddan yeah I thought it’d be up your street actually… should’ve tagged you looking back on it. Still, at least you’re aware if it 👊

@colonelkilgore
Was already on my wishlist. So either I heard about it at some point, added it and forgot about it or Sony now just randomly puts things in there it thinks I will be tempted by. Either is possible.
One of the reviews drew comparisons (aesthetically) with Ruiner which reminded me - oh I remember buying Ruiner and then losing it somewhere in the backlog. Such is (gaming) life.

@Yousef-
@JohnnyShoulder
I'm not sure if the Mayo peeps opened the Ketchup story but they certainly started the cheap platinum gravy, err I mean sauce train.

As for Max Mustard, I was serious about a review as it looks a good VR game, an Astrobot rescue mission replacement because Sony can't be arsed to do it themselves.

Just had a massive free jazz guitar workout session playing along to some drum-only tracks on Spotify. It's like that old joke, it feels like I just "flew in from Peach Creek and (because) boy are my arms tired!" 🤣

What's everyone else doing today?

Oh yeah and I was volunteering yesterday for my volunteer mental health role, that went well and felt quite rewarding as it often does.

Also gonna be farming in Elden Ring for a while, so that's why I won't be posting in the PS5 Currently Playing Thread too often as it gets boring for others to read if you just talk about farming every time - gotta mix it up!

but just to clarify - I will still be playing even if I'm not posting about it. 😃

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN I am doing pretty well, how are you? It’s pretty early here but I’m wide awake and ready to start my day off right!

It’s cool that you have been listening to instrumental tracks on Spotify. I have Spotify too, but I mostly just use it for J-pop music or music in Japanese, but I get pretty annoyed when it plays ads frequently, but I absolutely love making playlists on there. It has been a while since I made a playlist though.

I sometimes do listen to instrumental tracks, but they use different instruments; if I recall, it’s a few songs from a rhythm game I play and a video game song. I have been wanting to listen to some new music since I think the tracks I have in my rotation are pretty same-y. Still love them, but I want to find something new that I’ll love that isn’t just pop music.

I didn’t do much yesterday, I just really worked and made a lot of drawings. Pretty proud of them, but I didn’t use good reference pictures so they look slightly off.

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN I had absolutely vile sleep but other than that I don’t know since I just woken up and haven’t gotten my tea yet.

I plan to beat final fantasy 1-6 sometime within the next three months specifically. But no clue how that will turn out. Know very little besides surface level complaints.

I plan to make chicken sometime within the weekend also. Weekend is where majority of my cooking happens. I eat homemade most of the time but most of it is light for time constraints.

I accidentally logged out and the site didn’t accept my password. Was really weird. Winded up resetting my password though so it’s all good.

Maybe it was supposed to be another scare for Halloween

Review is out guys
https://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps5/silent-hill-2#comments
Gonna read it over tea
Curious how this game is like

Seems so good so far
A little iffy on it, will wait before picking it up
If this is as good as reviews claim then we’re in for a treat when Delta comes out, that’s my other hyped remake after dead rising
I don’t mind remakes that are basically just a new coat of paint if they respect the originals
Dead rising 1 and MGS3 are basically timeless 10/10 masterpieces, will always adore revisiting them
My money for octOver will go to shadow the hedgehog’s new game

Is October the gamer coming out month?
Every game ever is coming out
Dragon ball, sonic, metaphor, silent hill
I feel bad for any India devs coming out In October

Maybe I’m coming out in October too
With day 1 dlc and pre order bonus

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Sorry for the late reply! I’ll listen to anything but I actually do mostly relate with what you’ve put out here. Especially as I was growing up, I prioritized building my music library organically, with local artists and through shows that would come through (you’ve likely noticed most of my past recommendations have largely been Canadian). As a result, my base collection is inherently rooted in nostalgia and is, admittedly, the well I most often draw from. A lot of these artists are still making music so I still have plenty to follow!

Honestly, I find the fingertip availability and algorithmic based formats for modern music consumption both a blessing and a curse, as though it’s nice to spoiled for choice, something I can’t quite put my finger on is lost in the discovery for me. The word ‘overwhelming’ springs to mind.

@Jimmer-jammer That's ok, man. I know you're a busy man these days. It's understandable that you would prioritize your local scene over the wider expanse of global musicality, a lot people do that, I'm sure.

Couple of points for you while you're visiting:

One. What are your thoughts on the SH2 Remake Reviews appearing to be so positive? Apparently it bodes well for those of us who intend to play it and admittedly loved the original.

Two. Where do you stand on classical music? I ,myself, love the work of Stravinsky, Shostakovich and Charles Ives.

Honorable mentions go to Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Arnold Schoenberg.

Can't just listen to jazz and hip hop all the time, so ocassionally I visit the upper echelons of the musical arts. 😃

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Yeah, I’m thrilled with the reception! As a fan, it’s great to see a personal favourite be done justice. More so, I’m excited for all of the folks who will get to experience such a compelling classic for the first time.

I love classical music but I’m terribly uncultured within the genre!
