DranSeasona Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Not sure if I can do this but nobody did it yet... Figured I would pay homage to the Paper Mario game coming out this month to jump start the chat thread. Also obscure 70s band reference FTW! Doc Brown 1 Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Got the reference and I don't fear the reaper. DranSeasona, EH_STEVE and alienboyva 2 1 Link to comment
blcdude1 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Shooting shark, you mean to tell me those pioneers of the umlaut are considered obscure? History shows, again and again, how tomorrow soon turns into yesterday, and everything we see just fades away. Even if the symbol remains, some things leave their place before their time. But even things once gone, can return. After all, even Joan Crawford has risen from the grave, even if doing so gets her banned from MTV. While I question if The Symbol Remains will actually be any good- it's their first album since 2001, and no one remembers Curse of the Hidden Mirror- it's surreal that they're putting new stuff out there.

April Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) nice thread name lol are they really obscure though Edited July 1, 2020 by Pichi DranSeasona 1 Link to comment
DranSeasona Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Lol Thanks. Fair points, I don’t really know what would be well enough known these days since I am so far out of the pop culture loop. But if a band I am familiar with could be still well enough known then I guess I may not be as far removed as I thought. Edit: Thanks for the pin up, Chrom!

Eliwood8 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Even if someone isn't familiar with 70s rock groups, I hope they'd at least recognize BÖC from this immortal Saturday Night Live sketch: Doc Brown, alienboyva and DranSeasona 3 Link to comment
ace Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I wouldn't call Blue Öyster Cult obscure at all. They had a bunch of big hits Link to comment
Spring Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 ive never heard of it so its obscure enough for me wishing everyone a peaceful and safe July, and happy belated birthday Tyranogre! Doc Brown, DranSeasona and Tyranogre 3 Link to comment

I would suggest the pop culture loop is a bit different when it comes to music, as music is just so much easier to consume that other forms of media. It is a lot easier to invest three to four minutes listening to a song by a band you've never heard of before than it is to read a 400-page novel from an author you're not familiar with or watch an entire season of a TV show. And, if you stream music, the algorithms are inevitably going to throw something new-to-you your way. Happened to me the other day: while 2003 is by no means recent, just the other day, one of those sites popped some Streetlight Manifesto into my feed. Next thing I knew, I was listening to the entire Everything Goes Numb album, something I just missed completely when it first came out. I don't think it so much matters how or when you discover a thing you enjoy, whether that thing is music, a video game, a book, whatever. Doc Brown 1 Link to comment

Shadow118 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Been fiddling around the past few days looking around and remembering/refiguring out how to install mods for Minecraft Still trying to figure out how to download/install Forge for either 1.14/1.15 or 1.16... really confusing, tbh Though i think one of the Furniture Mods was pushing it a little too far and making things sluggish and laggy... Removed it for now, and it seems like things are working smoothly again as far as i can tell... And Fallout NV finally synced with the Steam Cloud, so I won’t have to start completely from the beginning on that... considering how far i was, that would’ve been annoying... Just need to remember how to reinstall mods for it... refound most of them that i had before, and a couple new ones...... not sure what else i that could be worthwhile Link to comment
The Albraskan Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Apparently Hasbro revealed a limited edition Back to the Future x Transformers Autobot (figure?) named Gigawatt. If you don’t mind IGN, you can get a look of Gigawatt and some other info through this link. https://www.ign.com/articles/hasbro-reveals-limited-edition-back-to-the-future-x-transformers-character-gigawatt Pretty great idea idea to have an Autobot based off the Delorean from Back to the Future.

Youngster Joey Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 So I decided to get an inexpensive (less than $20) HDMI capture card and HDMI splitter. Once those come in I'll start doing tests and figure out streaming. My biggest concern is making it work with my ISPs bandwidth cap. I hope streaming upwards of 18 hours of OoT at 480p won't be a problem. @Pichi Link to comment
Shadow118 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Recently realized that the Steam Summer sale has been going on until the 9th... some new games would be nice, though i did find a few free games I downloaded I do still have $5.07 on my card but I don’t know how far that will get me... So getting my hands on a steam wallet card might be unlikely- Might not be able to do much until the Fall/Winter sale... I suppose that’s not a huge deal, i guess And been thinking i could finally get around to buying a USB Game controller sometime.. a lot of these games would play better with a controller than keyboard controls... Was originally planning on getting a PC-Gamecube Adapter, but those take up two USB ports and slightly bulky... So thinking that getting a USB Game Controller is a better option... just not sure which one - need to look into that .... Also should go through the games on my wishlist and see if there’s anything to clear out.... Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Nothing like trying to activate my new phone... Tried via their site setup at first and it kept on rejecting my email address. Thankfully found their site bot and got things working via that, minus said bs. Link to comment
