discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

I don't agree unconditionally here. Jump scares are a valid tool, but they must be earned. Trying to spook the audience with nothing is simply lazy, but when it's done right, the jump scare takes away your ability to distance yourself from the horror. You can't simply "this is normal, this is fine, I'm not scared at all" yourself out of it.

Once or twice is ok but if the movie is nothing but jump scars then it becomes boring just my pov

that's cool. Here is an interesting fact. True story. I used to join a bunch of discord vampire servers. They believe they are (humans) a community who enjoy the drink of blood, so, anyhow, we had many talks about actual vampirism and the legends of where various things originate. The sunlight fear or how it can kill a vampire is a myth. However, I was made aware that many human vampire's in rl, have often some kind of light sensitive eyes. I certainly do. Im fine in the sun as long as it is not too bright, or I need sunnies. Interesting I thought, how this sunlight myth came about. I think Bram Stoker invented it in reality. The 19th century writers of Europe also invented some aspect, including how silver affects/harms a vampire. Not me. I have plenty silver jewelry so, maybe there is something that kills us true bloods, but not sun or silver. lol

I always like how Anne Rice did her vampire lore overall. She had a great style of writing.

I hope you all like disco, because today is disco day on the forums!

Disco is just 70s RGB

Or Draco gets a surprise

A wanted surprise amirite?

Not really, i have nothing against them growing up with a mom who loved watching them, it is just that the majority falls under snoozefest for me while the ones i have enjoyed i find myself enjoying because how silly it all looks and is so to me it is more comedy

I remember the first nightmare on elm street was scary, but it was more due to the music and the tension building. By the 3rd movie it was just seeing how can we fuck with these kids.

My Dad loved horror too, so while growing up, I may or may not have watched a ton of them, that maaaaybe I shouldn't have

The first horror movie I can remember was some electrically mutated worms THATS FEASTED ON HUMAN FLESH. OOOOHHHHHHH. The only scary thing was the idea of the worms touching you at that age

Time to yap it is, then.

Starting with:
Guess who got a shiny new (refurbished) ROG Ally this week?~

I've heard many horror stories about the Ally, and knowing how bad Asus has been lately I hope your has little problems. I've had a Steam Deck since it came out and I've adored it.

I wish they had done windows, but it's forced me to learn some Linux and tinker. It's been fun

The way I see it - the less inherently scary the jumpscare, the better it is.
If it solely consists of a disfigured creature blasting your ear-drums out for a split second - it's garbage. I would immediately uninstall, walk out of the theater, such and such.
But if the atmosphere is so well-crafted that you get jumpscared by a random character appearing on screen, or the sound of a bottle or something shattering on the floor (without sounding like a jet engine), then it's just mwah

Hey guys, how is everyone doing? I have some bad news. I don't know if I have said this already, but with my girlfriend and her mom being pregnant and work piling up, I have no time to work on my game. My baby's is due next year, meaning my hands are full, so I decided to halt the game for now. I might pick it back up for now, but it is not looking likely. So, if any devs or anyone else wants to pick it up, they can.

Goodluck man, hopefully everything went well

See you soon space cowboy

Hiya Slumbaby, haven't really started it yet. Got over 8 hours of sleep which i
needed after wanting to torch the TTS board last night



3 and a half hour 5 player Ludo match, haven't been that angry in quite a while.
Hopefully today will be much more enjoyable, started today seeing the Stephy
video of Slumduck so that was good. Anyways, glad to see you on the weekend

Helloooo Dover!
Good to see you.
Gotta admit Dover, thought you had stopped working on it, when around when you first told us about the pregnancies.

I watch news some times, it covers my horror requests.

A bunch. Unfortunately, I can't play on it properly yet, since it arrived with its left controller being borked and not working in horizontal directions. Replacement joysticks should arrive later today, and I've already gotten my iFixit kit a few hours ago. But my initial impressions are really positive, it's a very capable machine, as long as you don't expect it to run everything at Ultra settings at 900 fps.

The reviews that I saw unilaterally say that the original ROG Ally (not Ally X, which is the second generation that also is on the market) has poor battery life, lasting only about an hour and a bit at full power. Not surprising, since at Turbo it can do up to 25 W of power (30 W if plugged in), and the battery is about 40 Wh. Still, for $400 that I paid for this thing, I couldn't be happier about it. If you have closer to $700-800, though, I'd suggest you look into Ally X. Or you can also put in a modded battery: there are a few guides about putting beefier batteries into the original Ally, which either involve printing a new back plate, or just slightly adjusting the existing one, with different levels of sketch.

Just don't get the non-Extreme chip. There are two right now: AMD Z1 and AMD Z1 Extreme. Just don't get the basic Z1, it's not worth the savings in money.


Do you have decaf by any chance?

$400 if you get a refurbished one on eBay. I don't know if it's okay to send a link here, but I can quickly find it in case you'd like to get one yourself.


Exactly!
You can play anything you want, including games from this wonderful establishment. The buttons are programmable in case the game doesn't support joysticks. It's slightly less convenient than a Steam Input, or a Steam Deck, but it's also more versatile, and I don't mind tinkering with it at all.

Also, my plan is to get myself a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a dock, and connect it all together. This way, I can use my Ally as a proper computer that I can then snatch away from the stand and just use as a handheld later. That will easily weather me through the winter and spring, and until then I hope to save up enough money for a proper system.

No I appreciate the offer but I really just was asking for a friend on here who is mobile only. I'll just tag him to make sure he sees the post.

@TheDude14 you ever hear of this ROG Ally thing?​

And I know you have a big one so do what you have to do man. The game will still be there if you ever find some time to work on it down the road.​

Hiya brother , yeah.....it was not a pleasant experience. Should have gone with 6 player
Sorry or even Monopoly with that amount of time. Definitely ready to put it behind me
and have gut busting laughs and fun again. Still curious about how a LC version of
Monopoly could be done, way past my tech skills but here's to hoping. On a pretty funny
and coincidental note, i check in here today and see slumone with a fuckin die as a pfp

It would be such much fun to play a LC themed one. But yeah waaay outside of my skillset I have trouble with the basic in game things haha. Awhile back I posted in the message room a guide of how to set how to do it I think but I still didn't really understand the process as it was explained in there.

Yeah way too long, we probably could have played a round of Catan or like you said monopoly at that rate. And just think if we had another player like the board holds it could have lasted even longer with the increased chance of people being sent home. The first time we play Catan might be rough if people haven't done it before and obviously we would all have to figure out weird tics that these versions all seem to have but future iterations would be quicker.


haha that is kinda funny I must have missed that person with the die pfp I was distracted watching the new alien movie while reading the forums.

I think that’s why in Germany they call it “man, don’t get angry”
