I just read Titanium Noir. A life-extending drug is developed that works by de- or re-aging a person, fixing old age, broken bones, or illness and sends you through puberty as an adult. The more you take it the larger and denser you become and it's reserved for the ultra-rich -- Titans. A Titan is murdered and a private eye is put on the case and he navigates legal and moral shades of gray tracking down the murderer. I thought I would enjoy it more. Now I'm reading Book of Koli which I'm liking a lot!

Great movie! I was lucky to see it in theatres. It looks fantastic -- gorgeous, bleak, beautiful. Haven't seen pt 2, what's your beef with it?

Just watched Talk to Me on an edible with my fiance. It scared her so badly we stopped the movie with 3 minutes of runtime left! In some ways it was really cool, but some of the plot beats I felt like I'd seen a million times before. But it was a cool idea executed with verve and excellent sound design and good effects. Before that we watched Thanksgiving on Netflix -- the slasher movie that takes place on Thanksgiving. We thought it was hilarious and tense and fun. Some really stupid lines delivered perfectly ("We'll all be 50% off," "This year there won't be any leftovers," etc.). I'd love to hear what anyone else thought of these!

LOL, finally someone recognizes it! I actually only ever watched it sober. Waking Life and Samsara are two of my favorite acid movies. Also watched the beginning of Inglorious Basterds on 3 tabs which wasn't such a good idea lol

It is already. The performance is definitely better with it on.

No dice -- same issue, and I played around with different variations. E: Actually, you know what? Although I am still having the issue to some extent the overall game seems to run more smoothly.

My favorite restaurant in college made an Indian meal called navratan korma which was delicious. It means "9 Gem Curry" or something similar, and it's made with coconut milk, spices, nuts, and vegetables (not totally unlike other Indian foods in general, but this was soo good). Especially because I don't eat meat I was happy to find something so rich and delicious that I could eat. I've tried making some myself and I order it wherever I see it but I've never had it as good at Letts Eat made it. (I went there 3-4 times a week after classes and I also weighed over 300 pounds... curiously after the restaurant closed I got down to 210... coincidence? :) ) Here's a picture of someone else's korma just for an idea of it:

Intel Core i7-4790S CPU @ 3.20GHz, 12 GB RAM, GTX 1060, running on Windows 10 with no display scaling. What is the compat.settings you're talking about?

I'll get my specs/config as soon as I get home from work today, so gimme around 8 hours. I am on Windows though.

I'm playing DSDA on Software mode and it usually runs very well. However in certain areas I get somewhat significant or at least noticeable drops in FPS (e.g. up close to certain textures or in areas with a lot of light variance, I go from 80 to 60-35 fps). So okay, not horrible but disappointing and I had hoped my hardware could handle it. I was surprised, then, that when I alt-tabbed out of and then back in to the game that my fps jumped to 120 and it ran faster in the areas that were giving me trouble. Alt-tabbing on software mode seems to cause a problem getting back into the game, but I noticed that just changing the rendering from software to GL back to software gets rid of the fps drop on whatever I'm looking at. And THEN I noticed that I didn't even have to change the renderer! I could just hit enter over the option and then enter again and my frames would jump up. So what is going on? Why can't I just get high fps consistently? I feel crazy or stupid but I have tried this over and over again and it works every time.

Not sure how many hours I have spent during trippy afternoons (and mornings and evenings) laughing my ass off or being totally mesmerized by YouTube... but it's been a fairly significant portion of my 20's so far.

That "ordinary guy" aspect always appealed to me. Even though Doomguy runs like a Mazda the game still feels like you're just a dude fighting Hell, because so many enemies can put such a hurting on you so quickly. My favorite Doom feeling is a scrappy, fighting tooth-and-nail for my life kind of anxiety that I don't get from many other games. And the 90's aesthetic is a huge draw too :)

My Bella.

Unbelievable -- I had to look up the map number but I also cried on this map, on mushrooms, but for different reasons. My father was dying of pancreatic cancer the first time I played this map which must've been 3 years ago or so now. The map's desert aesthetic reminded me of Nevada, Arizona, those places out west to which my dad often drove during his job as a truck driver. (He actually had a master's degree in electrical engineering and was one of the smartest people I've known.) Anyway that map's title, Dare to Fly Where Eagle's Soar, its music, and its environment all hit me in the gut with heavy realization. DOOM95 was on a shareware floppy at my house as a kid and I literally cried in fear when my dad played it, and eventually when I got braver he would sit down and watch me play until I was too scared. Now I was helping him up the stairs he was too weak to walk up and changing him and administering his meds. And I could never go back to that time when he could beat all the things I was too scared of. I loved him and still miss him and probably always will. When I play now I think back on those days a lot and the memory hurts less. I'm glad I have it.

I'm partly through map02 (157 kills in) and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this so far. The atmosphere is great (is the title screen a Zdzisław Beksiński piece?). I realized that for the first time since I was a kid, I hesitated with trepidation to lower the lift I was on because I was scared, like actually uneasy, about what I was going down into. Besides that the maps are handsome designed with a lot of dread-inducing architecture and the combat is fun, cramped, and at times, shocking, e.g. my utter disbelief at the number and location of the revenants you're putting in the room with me. I'm UV pistol start/no saves and map one took me 3 tries over 2 days but it was never frustrating. Map02, I guess difficulty remains to be seen, but so far I've been having a blast.
