That is some smooth fps you got there.

Troll/abomination fights are always so pleasing, I think it’s because it lasts a while, they really duke it out.

Well, I defeated yagluth… it wasn’t so bad. I’d heard it could be real tough but I introduced him to my silver sword. He nearly killed me a couple of times (the meteors are nasty) but I had prepared well with a nearby refuge to heal up.

In to the mistlands now.

spoiler


The mistlands are tough. The terrain is very hard going and of course the constant mist makes it even more difficult. The seekers aren’t too bad… unless they’re starred and in a group, then it can get real sketchy. The gjalls are formidable but manageable with fire resistance potions and bonemass power.

It’s difficult to progress too, you need several different resources, some of which can’t be obtained until you obtain another. The plains is a walk in the park progression wise compared to the mistlands. In the plains all the stuff you need is all around and plentiful. I think I spent the least time in the plains compared to all the previous biomes. It was just so quick and easy to gather everything needed to progress.

I’ve been in the mistlands a little while now and still haven’t managed to make any of the mistlands tier armour or weapons. I’m getting there slowly, just built an eitr refiner.

A perfect ‘seconds before disaster’ screenshot.

Yeah, it’s the video game subs that I miss. I’ve joined the same ones here on Lemmy but they’re mostly dead.. I’m optimistic that they’ll populate and come alive though.

I only listened to the new aphex track once on my phone when a friend sent me the link. I thought it sounded good but that I’d wait for the actual release until I gave it a proper listen. Anyway, it came up on my YouTube feed lastnight so I thought I’d give it a listen through my amp and decent speakers.

I loved it immediately. It is SO F****** GOOD! I first heard aphex when I was 15 or 16, I was 46 this year so 30 years I’ve been a fan and I think this is one of his best tracks.

The beat is just phenomenal. The way he plays with the kick and snare and bass and hi-hats, virtually no 2 parts of the beat are the same and yet it sounds totally coherent, it gives me goosebumps.

The kick and snare samples sound like pure dnb but without actually using the amen break. I love the swooping synth that’s pretty much all the way through the track. There are some wonderful little flourishes too, there’s a little sample of what sounds like a cowbell with a bit of reverb near the end, it sounds so perfectly 90’s dance… and he uses it just twice.

I must have listened to this track 30+ times already. Even when I’m not listening to it, I’m thinking about it.

A new aphex album wasn’t really something I was thinking about but after hearing this track I hope he releases a new album.

I’ve noticed too. Compact isn’t compact anymore. It’s not much smaller than the regular large style now.

Could we have it back to being a bit smaller?

How long is left on the expedition? You could run it again to get the other head, depends if you can be bothered though.

I prefer the atlantid head so I chose that first then reloaded and chose the other one so I have both.

You’ve summed up pretty much how I feel too. Miss some of the smaller communities but I suspect they’ll show up eventually. It was nice to find uk casual already here.

Ducks are allowed?? I’m not sure I can cope with this paradigm shift…
