I’m on board with Eno here. There are issues with the current wave of generative AI, but the main reason they are such huge problems is the people who are pushing these technologies have zero concern for the potential social harms they could cause or exacerbate.
Please have the common sense not to call for violence on a public forum, especially one run by other people. I get where you’re coming from, but it’s doing anyone any good.
This kind of behavior is antithetical to Beehaw’s ethos. It’s fine to be dismissive of systems, but ever user here is a person who should be treated with kindness and respect. Please do better in the future.
or not enough of a gamer
Yeah, Discord’s easy/free voice chat was the reason it got so popular. It was so much easier to use than any of the alternatives, and in-game VC was a mixture of piss-poor quality and full of toxic 14 year olds.
Hey @anachronist@midwest.social, I realize you’re not trying to be hurtful to anyone in this comment (except maybe Musk, but honestly fuck that guy) but including a common condition that many folks live with in a list of things that make Musk a bad manager likely is hurtful to those people, even if that’s not your intention. If Elon does have ADHD, that’s clearly not the problem since I suspect we all know tons of people with ADHD who are a) great at their jobs and b) not trying to dismantle the United States. In the future, please try to “Be(e) Nice”.
If you can’t tell the difference between being upset that a game was made badly and being cruel to the developers, you may need to take a step back.

I hope I’m not jinxing myself, but I don’t ever mess with my Ublock Origin settings and I’ve never once had it break or gotten the threatening messages about adblockers on YT. I’m not sure why, but I’m not going to change anything while I’ve got a good thing going.
Hi. You’ve gotten some very good responses from the community so I’m going to leave the thread up for now, but please be aware that pushing more will likely result in removal or a temp ban. Thanks.
No big deal, you’re good.
Go touch grass.
There’s no need for this, seriously. I get that it’s a gaming community but we’re trying to be better than the usual toxic mess, right?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, but please remember:
It’s practically a guarantee that this Sharon’s dog is the most obnoxious, poorly trained little shit to ever walk the earth on four legs, too. Nobody wants your fucking dog, Sharon, it’s an unholy terror.
I don’t know how “pure” you want your chiptunes to be, but for my money Master Boot Record is some of the best stuff out there. I would definitely say it’s at the very least gaming inspired if not pure chiptunes, and it kicks all kinds of ass. They’ve done a lot of covers of classic game music - Bloody Tears is a great one, as well as their cover of the Doom theme. But I really love their original stuff too. Internet Protocol is a 10/10 album to me.
Slightly less chiptunes but still absolutely gaming inspired is their side project Keygen Church. Tenebre Rosso Sangue from the Ultrakill soundtrack is probably their best known track. It’s sort of a chiptunes adjacent castlevania-metal vibe? It’s hard to describe but it absolutely destroys.
Yeah IMO the more famous and respected Kojima has gotten, the worse his writing has been. And I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, he badly needs editors. I think it’s kind of like George Lucas in that they have a lot of ideas, some of which are really good and some of which are absolutely batshit. Sometimes those types of writers need someone who can ground them and tell them that they don’t have to put all of their ideas in.
@Scary_le_Poo and @jarfil: if the two of you have a disagreement on another thread, please work it out between the two of you like adults there; don’t spill it over into other, unrelated threads.
@Scary_le_Poo, these types of personal attacks are not acceptable on beehaw. It is possible to disagree while still being kind and without resorting to angry or abusive language. Please try to remember beehaw’s guiding principal when interacting with others in the future.
I’ve been playing Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria with a group of friends. It’s pretty janky at times, but the vibe is pretty fun and we’re all LotR nerds to some degree, so it’s been fun arguing about where the devs were lore friendly and where they colored outside the lines. It’s also nice to play a survival crafting game like this that has no PvP so the balancing can be entirely based on PvE play, which means the grind isn’t anywhere near the level of Ark or Conan. I’d say it’s a more janky little brother of Grounded with a LotR coat of paint and some pretty cool level design.
I honestly don’t intend to be rude, so please don’t take this the wrong way. But this is a very minor detail that was featured in prelaunch marketing and went heavily viral. I understand not wanting to encounter spoilers about important events in a game, but this is not that.
Hi, please remember to Be(e) nice. I also think it’s a little silly to get in a huge flap about the headline of this article, but I’d ask that you also remember to be kind to other users.
Hey just FYI, links in the post title don’t work on Beehaw. Here’s the link to the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2339840/Enter_the_Gungeon_2/
I loved the first EtG and played a ton of it. I’m not entirely sold on the new 3d art style, but I’ll try to give it a fair shot once it gets here.
Also, the original Enter the Gungeon is available on Xbox Game Pass for any of you folks that have it. It’s absolutely worth checking out.
