This comment is how I always hope my info dumps go when someone asks me a technical question about something I have good experience in using. 10/10 comment, love it.
First answer to me is Chris Christodoulou, who did everything for Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2. The man knows how to let ambient vibes build to boss music
My thinly-veiled lack of understanding of Linux is in shambles. CPU optional?
From what I can tell, it’s a juxtaposition thing. Many of the other shooters used in memes have stances that appear outlandish, and have gear that looks a little strange, almost trending towards ridiculous. The man you’re referencing, Yusuf looks incredibly casual in comparison. His stance is at least recognizable as a shooting stance (even if it’s almost appears too casual), his hand is in his pocket, and he isn’t visibly using any of the gear that many other shooters are.
I haven’t kept track very closely outside of the memes, so I can’t comment on Yusuf’s performance in comparison to the others, but the memes paint his character to be someone that gets the task done with minimal resources, where the others are given the role of a “tryhard” for the sake of the meme.
Evidently the imagery of these competitive shooters resonated with enough people that Lemmy had a small breakdown, but I always love to see my Lemmy feed trend into one topic for an evening or two. We all remember the beef stroganoff incident.
Now I’m just curious about you, after seeing your posts. I’ve seen a couple of games come up more than once, but a pretty wide variety of games that usually take a lot of time to get through. Have you been hopping back and forth between some “new to you” games while you come back to Skyrim every now and again? I’ve seen a fair amount of RPGs of some variety, are those your mainstay for games?
It’s not my fault that Gateway used to have “cow-styled” branding.
God damn is that an iRiver?
Hell yeah! Really like the yellow highlights from the muzzle flash, good touch!
Had to make sure this was here. Good work.
