Think you'd dig Death Stranding btw

Slow burn exploration/atmospheric game with a bugged out Kojima story

need some liquid mike on there brochacho

Oh s*** this is dope! Love how groovy it is and then gets real rad when that modulated synth comes in

Finally downloaded it last year. Was so glad i did. Was never a big MGS/Kojima game fan just cause those werent the type of games i tended to play growing up, but Death Stranding looked really interesting to me since it was announced. Didn't disappoint.

Such a great vibe out game. I was expecting to enjoy the gameplay's slow burn, but i wasnt expecting it to put me in the same kind of flow state that stuff like Gungeon or Hades does. They are totally different kinds of games but mine brain reacts to them in very similar ways

Wow this is super dope.

I love how groovy it is and then they throw in that sick modulated synth to crank the song in new direction

Finally finished that East of Eden, idk where it would land on my all time favs but man the story felt heavy. By the end is was catharsis

I did see it on Gamepass never played a Kojima game

we started playing Sea Of Thieves co-op and its pretty cool

I know, it just sucks you in. After finishing the story in the first one I spent like another 20 hours just messing around in the world building s*** and making deliveries. It's all so addicting and satisfying.

It even Dunkey got to backtrack on his original burn review

"Norman Deekus"

"Norman Regis"

Steinbeck

I had always seen the mon's name mentioned but got put on when you rec'ed Cannery Row

I remember one of the guys I used to work with was telling me about "The Wrath of Grapes" haha. Had to correct him on that

You reading anything now broski ?

At least he didn’t call it Grapes of Death

I just started The Last Action Heroes by Nick De Semlyen. It delves into the 80s action stars and their relationships with each other

that was one of my favs that we read in high school english classes but i forget most of it at this point

That sounds dope, the 80’s was such a special decade

Think imma start Train Dreams, I know the film got some traction awhile ago. Denis Johnson becoming one of my fav authors

I missed out on so many classics because of how bad my HS experience was. The teachers had zero dedication and would just drill state tests into us. I’m sure the education system has changed for the better

Yeah I still need to peep that movie. What’s your favorite Denis Johnson book?

Well I started with his final book, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden. I love short stories and it was a nice send off considering he died shortly after.

I also read his first called Angels which was a nasty 70’s crime deal. Really good but his writing only got better.

Jesus Son is his most popular and acclaimed but probably my least fav, idk I was going through some s*** myself so maybe my mind wasn’t totally into it. I’d recommend any of them

This is nuts, one of my best mates messaged me the same thing yesterday. I must have been recommending it pretty hard for a while

Elia Kazan

yeah OBAA is great

didn't expect PTA to craft a straight-up action film

also, it's far left-leaning politically. More so than some commies might want to admit

the cyclone b reference was unnecessary tho and the aftermath could've been wrapped up a little quicker

@Koala :datass:

As someone who slaved working retail I can appreciate this guy, the dedication is admirable. What's crazy is how older some of these 70's/80's guys look
