I decided to make an account on the New Misc, seems the population is healthy and inviting (politics atleast).
And the same weird lefty spammers from old misc went to new misc but for even smaller audience. Really don't get understand what they get out of spending all that time trying to stir up shit for five Trumpers.

For earbuds, I still use wired Skullcandy Ink'd. I'm not dealing with yet another thing I have to worry about keeping charged.

Newmisc is an internet ghetto. When you cruise through there are crackheads staggering about, goons on the corners and everything is blighted and trashy. Don't stop. Don't post. Just drive on through.

You wonder how all the inhabitants can live like this when just outside their confines functional families are having picnics at a park and life is functioning normally.

Let it sink in that while you're going about your life the Newmisc exists and at any given time there are feuds being fought and traps being posted and Wincel. Maybe it's more like the North Korea of forums.

Getting close to paint, boyos. Final blocking and sanding, spot priming any area that need a little extra attention.

Healthy? Lol.

Yeah it's definitely overrun with too many lefties now. Old misc had way more conservatives to offset the lib lunacy.

^^Accurate.

C7 corvette laguna blue

Camaro is looking good bro, can't wait to see it with paint. Saw a nice 78-79 Camaro the other day at the market in a color similar to laguna blue, extremely clean with Weld draglite wheels. Looked sharp.

Thanks brah. I'm getting impatient to have the work finally done. Paint and body is a nightmare. Blue and chrome/polished trim and wheels is the GOAT combo
I wasn’t trying to sound cool about the drones. Cause I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation. Just saying I’d definitely shoot at it. Srs.

clive I think this is the goat . After that is peach maybe. Go for it.View attachment 580132View attachment 580133View attachment 580134

It would be embarrassing for people to get blown away by a pink Camaro lol

C Coal Man really getting into SB now tbh. Took a while to get the hang of it but I just finished the bit where you go into that first big facility and it's full of infected scientists. Turned into Dead Space during that section. I do as many side quests as I can before progressing the main story so I've almost maxed out all my attack and survival skill trees already 😂. The only boss I had some trouble with was the Wasteland version of the Gigas which took multiple attempts. Just couldn't time his attacks very well and had to use an insta-revive shot to finish him off with like two swipes left of his health

OneLegSquats OneLegSquats loved that section myself.

Lol I was feeling concerned I hyped u up to spend $ on something you didn't like, but I had some faith you would start vibing once the game opened up... Just as I did.

It def has charm to it, the music is still stuck in my head daily. The side missions add lore to the world which I appreciate and when you start clicking with the new abilities and start fuking things up it really encourages you to improve....especially with the boss fights which imo they tuned really well. They aren't hard like souls bosses but i often found myself ending a fight with just a sliver of hp.


Edit: have to say FF16 is decent but I'm not having as much fun as I did with SB. The side quests are pretty meh, and there's alot of filler moments and cutscenes between the absolutely badass boss fights during the story beats. Loot and upgrades are piss and don't encourage exploration at all. It's obvious where a ton of the budget went - the huge spectacle moments. It's still enjoyable enough to finish, and I'd say probably worth the $32 but I don't feel as much excitement to start each session so I've been lagging in my playtime.

I just can't figure out why it's an 18 lol. There's no nudity, just revealing outfits which should be 15 tier. The gore and violence is minimal and I rarely if ever hear a curse word. Just did the Ark mission where those brahs were locked inside until they died. Brooootal

So far I'm enjoying FF16 but it's not spectacular. First off they toned down the weeabo anime shit alot. It still has a little Japanese cringe though, maybe something along the lines of RE4 Remake. The tone of the game is more mature. Story feels like a wannabe Game of Thrones with warring kingdoms. The levels are linear but they do look pretty good, lots of scenic views so far. Story is okay. Music is great, and so too are the set pieces when it comes to some of the large Eikon battles. Those are done really well.

Now to the combat. It's okay, certainly looks flashy but there's room for improvement. It is sort of DMC based but certainly not as deep or varied. Also doesn't feel as visceral.

Clive has the ability to absorb powers from Eikons. Each Eikon has 3 special moves and an ultimate. You cycle from one Eikon to another by pressing L2 but annoyingly, for each Eikon there's only TWO slots to equip each's moves. I think this is really weird as the ultimate takes up a slot. So for each Eikon you get either two regular special moves, or one regular plus an ult. If it was up to me, I'd allow players to use all four slots but let each slot share a cooldown across Eikons. That way you have access to all abilities and ultimates but have to choose carefully due to cooldowns. The final issue I have comes down to how bullet spongy enemies are which leaves alot of S, T mashing.

So yeah I'm torn on the combat. For sure the Stellar Blade combat absolutely mogs it in depth, design and how it feels.
That lines up with some of what I had read regarding the lack of depth and variation, which makes sense if they went with bullet sponges.

You could tell me better than just looking myself without prior knowledge, but it looks like there's potential to fix some of the shortcomings on PC with mods, so that's something I'll have to consider.

Easily the bullet sponge thing is my main complaint with Monster Hunter, and I don't know if Wilds fixed it (sounds like they might have at least), but World fights could drag on to become boring slogs - at least for my tastes. Seriously, Dark Souls has gotten a disproportionate reputation for being "hardcore" when you had Monster Hunter over here with a spergoid community demanding even longer fights, like you should be hitting the same enemy for over 15 minutes. So if from what I've read where some Wilds players are complaining about the fights being too short, that's a good thing.
It definitely feels like video game graphics have plateaued and stagnated enough to where I couldn't care less about the prospect of sequels to current gen games anymore in many cases because the age of getting excited about how much better a newer release might look is simply well behind us by now. This really hit home when I saw people trying to hype Wreckfest 2, I mean I love the original and still consider it a great game for what it is on current gen hardware, but hearing about the sequel just didn't get me excited at all because I feel like I am simply satisfied with what I already got and can't get excited about the prospect of graphics maybe being better. Heck even if the trailer manages to make it look more sophisticated, I know most of that is just trailer camera work and I would probably hardly notice any improvements while actually playing the game. It's just happens too often, they try to get you all hyped on graphics with the latest games only for me to play the games and be underwhelmed struggling to notice where it looks better than games I have already been playing.
So long as developers continue pushing visuals harder than their capacity to optimize the end result into something playable and stable, I'm tapped out on this stupid race for better and better graphics at the cost of them still being video games over interactive movies, stutter shows, or layers of interpolation, rescaling, and smearing to run at all.

What makes it worse now is in part because this generation of consoles now supports crutches developers can use on top of things like ray tracing, but instead of taking a more humble approach they're designing games to be reliant on said crutches or ray tracing. With PS4/Xbone gen games, PCs with much more available hardware headroom could push the same games to look pretty much like "next gen," or at least as close as possible with whatever the base game allowed. Now, though, you get games like the Rocksteady failed GAAS that looked far worse than Arkham Knight despite a 9 year difference.

As for the ray tracing, an example I know off the top of my head is how Final Fantasy 16 was designed with ray traced lighting as the only option, so there isn't even an option to lower that intensive requirement to get better performance or visuals elsewhere. Ray tracing might make for some really impressive youtube videos, but I will take the option to turn lighting effects and shadows down in exchange for better everything else any day because that would make little perceivable difference versus the whole image getting screwed up.

I woke up today and started throwing up. Then I had chocolate milk coming out of my butt. I don't know what is wrong. It may have been that slightly green pork chop I ate yesterday.
