My favorite puzzle game of all time, but it's not really Tetris.

Austin’s Ready To Rumble on ‘Crashy Cameron’ and ‘Deathtrap Dessau’ Roads – TOWERS in c/austin

Fuck yes, that road has needed an improvement / speed limit reduction for a long time now, especially the stretch just south of Parmer where the speed limit is a very high 50 MPH (people will drive much faster than that). A bunch of apartments were built there in the past 5 years but the road wasn't modified to offer a protected way to turn into/out of them across potentially 3-6 lanes of traffic.

Rage (Xbox360) in c/retrogaming

As far as I'm concerned, RAGE is a modern game. It even looks and plays like a modern game, so it can't really be retro.

To call it retro is like saying League of Legends is retro because it came out in 2009.

Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity? in c/nostupidquestions

What do you use as your controller? I got an Anbernic handheld now but I've always been curious/intrigued by just running them on a phone, I just never quite found any of the control methods quite satisfactory.

'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements in c/games

[–] azurekevin 1 points 1 year ago

Weird, the K4's latest bios supports Vermeer, but perhaps not the X3D CPUs? But if so, even a 5600 would be an acceptable and pretty cheap upgrade over a 2600.

Chrono Cross and Trigger arrangement: "Lost Orphan" (soundcloud.com)

I absolutely love the Chrono series, and just replayed Chrono Cross recently via the new "remaster".

While playing, I had a piano intro idea for the song, "Burning Orphanage", and decided to try working it into a full song. It eventually evolved into this, kind of a prog rock song with piano being the main driver, but there are electric guitar parts, organs, synths, mellotron choir, and rock drums. I also realized that I could smoothly transition into the song "Silent Light" from Chrono Trigger, so I incorporated that as the second, slower half.

The progression of the song is recounting Kid's trauma of surviving Lynx's attack on the orphanage (Burning Orphanage), but then feeling lost and alone after her escape (Silent Light) and eventually kind of finding peace but never forgetting.

The actual scene from the game is one of the most heart breaking and climactic events from the whole series, IMO, and I wanted to try giving it even a fraction of justice.

It's currently still a work in progress, as I'm still looking for bits here and there to polish up. My goal is to submit this to OCRemix, so if you have a listen, let me know what you think!
