buy my only fans and we'll see.

C'mon Blinge, we all know you're too much of a prude to have an onlyfans page.

For me it's pretty much the innability to enter studio and record music. due to lock down obv

Recording music is pretty much the only thing that anchors me to this planet and motivates me in any capacity. Thankfully I still am very inspired to compose. but at some point you gotta record and release your backlog before moving on.

I guess finding an outlaw studio could be an option. but would cost a ton (our usual studio setup is super cheap)

Maybe it's time to record the synthwave/coldwave project I've been wanting to do with a buddy of mine. That could be done remotely.

when a forum splits things into subcategories

Yeah, because it's such a joy to have to dig through political and non-gaming threads to find the good gaming-related ones.

It's less tempting to be sucked into the non-gaming controvertials threads when they're not sorted with the gaming related ones. My sanity if nothing else appreciates this. x_X

The Falcom thread, the emulation thread, and Little Annoyed Hell are still in Off-Topic, even though they clearly belong in Other Gaming...

It's only been an hour and a half since the forum's been updated. They may still be in the process of going through which ones are flagged to move.

100% agree

Next up, the sub-genre wars

Yeah. This is not a bad thing at all.

I didn't even notice. I only look at View new posts and View your posts. lol

Messaging applications that force an idiotic advertising signature to be appended to all your messages like Tapatalk apparently does. That sort of thing is lame.

I feel you so much.

"Bored" isn't the right word though, at least not for me. Because I don't really have the time to be bored. That's one thing that annoys me so much is when people talk about "all the extra time you have" during the pandemic. Though I do have sympathy for people who lost their job due to the circumstances, I can only envy people who actually feel that they have a surpluss of time they don't know what to do with.

Life where I am goes on, mostly ignoring the pandemic entirely, but infections are still very rampant here, and pretty much everything social I've been doing regularly, on top of everything I had planned for most of this year, has gone down the drain.
My life right now is stuck between going to work every day, and maintaining a lot of issues we have had with our house this year. With nothing happening outside of that, it's like an entire year has been just ripped out of my life. If I'd had to stay at home, I could have delved into hobbies and a lot of the personal projects that I long to devote time to - but as long as I'm kept busy at work, I have no energy to do anything when I get home, and I feel like I am just wasting my life away right now.

I'm sure there's something I could do personally to help this, but it feels so much easier to just wait for a vaccine to combat the pandemic, even if that means another two years or whatever.

Oh man. Are we complaining about being stuck at home? I can do that.

Baltimore is a special city. It's got lots of weird-ass art and music and there are still big warehouses filled with poor artists and plants. And it's cheap; rent here is half that of D.C..

Unfortunately, it's also not a safe place to live. It's not really ok to go out after dark alone in all but the most populated areas which are few and far between.

All of this makes it a prison for the pandemic. I live in a small apartment with no backyard and no greenspace. In order to get to any green space, I have to ride my bike about 3 miles. I don't have a car, so I can't leave the city without renting one. On top of all that, there isn't any fun stuff happening anymore, so the whole point of being in Baltimore is kind of gone. All I'm left with in the "pro" column is cheaper rent, and that's not exclusive to here.

Staying sane here has been about working on projects inside and taking as many long bike rides as I can.

It feels kind of churlish after COVID problems, but at the moment.... PS4 folders.

I LOVE that they exist. I HATE trying to put my games into them.

Of course Contra Collection goes into the R2RKMF folder, but if that does, so should Castlevania Collection, really. But then, where does the Rondo/SOTN comp go, in the R2RKMF folder, or the Arcade Adventure folder (I refuse to use the MV term....when I were a lad, 2D side-on games with large, gated maps were Arcade Adventures, and that's what they'll remain )? The Castlevania games should stay together, but then I'll know that one of them isn't in the right folder. Does Dark Souls go in the Adventure / RPG folder? It's it really, far closer to something like Resi 4 than Persona 5? But Resi 4 is in my FPS / TPS folder? What do I call Toki as?

About the only folder that doesn't bother me in some way is Racing, that's pretty easy.
Even the Arcade Archives folder bugs me, as I have the version of Metal Slug 3 that existed before the AA series, so the tile for it sticks out like a sore thumb.

And don't get me started on the Arcade Archives folder, where they inexplicably changed those tiles after the first two dozen or so games, so they look stupid if I put them in alphabetical order the way I'd like.

This isn't a joke by the way, these things play on my mind every goddamn time I boot up the machine. This pandemic is sending me around the twist.

It makes my head hurt.

Believe me, I sympathize. I'm super OCD with the arrangement of my game collection on PC as well.

I prefixed all of the categories in my Steam account with a number so that I can control the sorting in a way that's meaningful to me. IE "1 Action," "2 90's FPS," etc, etc.

Being bipolar and hating yourself.

The gaming press and AAA sequels. Every sequel is automatically going to get high marks (because the entire relationship between press and devs is corrupt and broken), but what really bugs me is reading all the things the last installment of the series "did wrong" and discovering the same publication didn't point out any of those issues when they reviewed the previous game.

If it was a problem, you should have mentioned it when you reviewed the fucking game. Otherwise, you're just announcing that your last review was a failure and your new review is probably (also) bad. Weak as water.

*hugs Boss*

Here how I do SIX FOLDERS THATS IT (■｀W´■)

OFC idiosyncrasy is king, fuck do u expect, THIS MY SHIT after all (■｀ω´■)

Eagerly awaiting M2's PSYCHONICS OSCAR so I can file it in R2R_80s

A lot simpler with old consoles where it's alphabetic order, end of. ALIEN SOLDIER would look great next to buff beast bro antecedent ALTERED BEAST but that can never be, because my copy says JUU OU KI

Though that requires shelves, potentially several. Kinda liking the convenience, TBH. And with PS4/Switch onward, IDGAF about the physical aspect, since [A] so much great stuff is digital-only, and probably wouldn't exist otherwise (pass up on Saigo and Dangun, my fuckin ass) and [B] I don't get a boner for discs the way I do carts n' boxes.

I just sort alphabetically. Sorry, I'm boring like that. lol

(Also tossing all of the non-game shite into a folder called "Tools" or "Stuff" etc. is a pro gamer move).

Sorry, BIL, those folders make my head hurt and my eyes bleed

Watching GPU manufacturers spend five years pushing two dueling proprietary solutions to the same problem.

3d graphics API battles... Variable refresh protocol battles... Ray tracing API battles...

Here comes the dumbshit ray tracing battle. No matter what, gamers lose. No doubt, Nvidia and AMD will pay large devs for exclusive support. Meanwhile, independent studios are stuck with even more work.

Trying to get a bunch of photos from an iphone onto my pc.
Like seriously? Why is it so hard.

I mean.. I refuse to install apple programs on muh box, so that might have something to do with it.

Forums that complain about necroposting.
It's so refreshing being here, where I've seen replies 10 years apart, and then the guy being replied to comes back in the thread like it never died.
Turns out, topics can still be relevant a decade [or more!] later, and the original poster of a thread can still be around and interested in a response.

I really think that's the stupidist shit. IF there is a good thread for something, why make another one? Why go make everyone hunt multiple threads over time to find relevant information!

Constantly irritated when I see that.

Coof masks with HILARIOUS designs.

Cackling old crone in line at the bank yesterday, with a huge lolling cartoon tongue w/saliva on hers. Wanted to do my best Budd Dwyer right then and there. >_<

...what am I saying about this poor woman. :O I'm sure she was alright, just not the time/place, y'know.

Hey, how about one with a massive cock ramming in balls-deep? That'd be hilarious! ...oh shit. How about an Alien-themed one, with a Facehugger doing its face-fucking thing? You'd need some finesse, to convey what was going on, but I think it could work, and would certainly brighten everybody's Saturday afternoon standing in line like assholes outside Lloyd's.
