I thought the song was called “Head Like a Hole”?

I have a sh.itjust.works account that I use to join meme communities there and on .world + a few other instances. The comments are a cesspool but the memes are…reasonably dank?

Not sure I understand this take. The game was a commercial product, Fromsoft made it to sell to people. That doesn’t preclude it from being art, and a film adaptation being made of it also doesn’t preclude that.

A24 has a pretty good reputation for taking risks, and they’re an independent production company. Seems like probably the best possible way something like an Elden Ring film could be made, IMO.

I’ve really enjoyed it, and it’s been a breath of fresh air for this friend group that was really struggling to find stuff to play together. We used to get deep into a lot of survival crafting type games, think Ark and Conan, but several of us had gotten pretty burned out on those, and most of the multiplayer stuff we were interested in either didn’t grab everybody or was limited to just a few players. Stuff like Helldivers being only 4 players meant that not all of us could play together, which felt bad. These multiworld games, though, mean that we can all get on a discord call and kick the runs off at the same time, and it feels like we’re playing together as we call out stuff we’re sending to each other or items we need, but then we can wrap the runs up over the course of the next week as we have time. Plus there are enough games that most folks have been able to find something that feels comfortable for them.

I’ve gotten sucked into the rabbit hole that is multiworld randomizers lately. I’ve done several smaller multiworlds with a group of friends (4-8 players) all playing different games, and a week or so ago got involved in a larger one (15 or so players) that was organized on a forum I frequent. All of these have been through Archipelago, and if you’re not familiar with multiworld randomizers their FAQ is a decent introduction. I’ve played a few different games in these - Minecraft, Wind Waker, and most recently Balatro, and all of them have been really interesting and fun ways to play games that I was already pretty familiar with. Also, my regular gaming group has had trouble finding multiplayer games that we all want to play recently, and these archipelago multiworlds make it so that we can play something together without all having to agree on what to play, plus you can play asynchronously so we can start together but then finish runs out as we have time. It’s been really cool and I’m jonesing for more.

If you aren’t trolling, then you should consider that more than one thing can be bad, and that non-consensual pornography is a violation of a person’s autonomy. Please don’t leave comments like this on Beehaw, if it happens again you will be banned.

I can’t tell for sure, but it doesn’t look like Revolt has voice chat yet? Which was what attracted my friend group to Discord initially.

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.

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.

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?
