It's been ages since I ate from there, but my first guess is lower prices. They were expensive when I worked there many years ago, even with the 50% employee discount. I can only imagine how things must be now.

They could also offer slices rather than just whole pizzas. Small pizza shops really have that part figured out. Maybe they do that now, I wouldn't know.

Now that is an interesting question with an even more interesting story behind it. It all started with me kicking and screaming, and absolutely fucking soaked. Yada yada, a few years passed, and next thing you know here we are.

Besides the stuffed crust, I can tell you from working there that everything is made from the same dough. Pizza, breadsticks, cinnamon bites, it's all the same dough drowned in "butter oil". The one exception was their thin crust which got special treatment and no butter oil.

I love a big dirty reese bass. The movement caused by the detune is endless. It reminds me of the cloudy rolling effect when you kick up mud underwater. The science behind the sound is neat, too. Best I can summarize my understanding is you have two opposing generators purposely phasing some of each other's voices out.

This explains it pretty well. My anecdotal knowledge says people usually fine detune each saw wave +/- 7 cents from each other, or multiples thereof. https://toolroomacademy.com/features/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-reese-bass/

Relax, it clearly says he's in @thumpasaurusmusic

Same. The game is impressive and I respect it, but it's better when someone else is playing it and not me.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

When you first find him on the path full of fury and regret, this performance makes you believe him, makes you immediately invested

His voice acting was so good that I immediately mercy-killed him to end his misery!

I played 1 and 2 waaay back in the day when people still rented video games. Own 6 and have played maybe 10 minutes to make sure my PC can handle it. Will be going back for a proper playthrough at some point.

I think they're great, and I'm glad that FS has something a little different going on.

I love Tunic, but I try to somewhat keep it to myself to not be annoying. It's so good though.

Not exactly fatigue. It's just that most of the titles I see coming out reek of the same "front page of Steam" scent that I'm not interested in. Too shiny, too samey.

While I love my Fromsouls, there are other genres competing for their place on my most favourite list, and are delivering regularly.

Nightreign looks alright but doesn't particularly interest me at full price. Duskbloods is an immediate write-off thanks to exclusivity. I'm waiting for Miyazaki and co. to win me back again.

Btw I got Bloodborne on shadPS4 working now, so that's my "new" soulslike to look forward to.

It's a delicious product!

 

It's a bit of a meme among (some?) music producers that picking the right snare sound takes 12 hours and still ends up sounding like dogshit in a wet paper bag. This is more in the electronic / beatmaking circles as I understand, but I'm sure there might be some overlap with production involving live/acoustic drums as well.

So, I want to know some examples of snare drums that you love. Please try to describe why you are fond of it.

For me the one I think of first is the snare sound on Deftones' album White Pony. It has such a satisfying crack paired with a big haunting room reverb. Example: Deftones - Digital Bath

I think I gravitate towards snare with some body to them, as in some lower mid-range. If I grab a regular 808 snare, I find I like to boost a bit of the 200-300hz-ish range to achieve that.

Some more examples off the top of my head: Blue Oyster Cult - I Love the Night

Filejacker - The Dark Masters

I also enjoy an oddball snare sound with character (at least I think it's a (closed?) snare and not a tom) : Joy Division - She's Lost Control

I love 3D Platformers, but Steam does not seem to have many good recommendations for that tag (lots of non-3D platformers in the mix for some reason). Maybe there just aren't that many out there. What can you recommend?

Here are some that I have already played and want more similar to these:

-Cavern of Dreams

-Castle on the Coast

-A Hat in Time

-Demon Turf

-Frogun

-Sapo 3D

-New Super Lucky's Tale

-Yooka Laylee

-Toree series

-Pseudoregalia

I have an extra Steam key for GRIME from a Humble Bundle and want to give it to someone who wants it and will play it.

Leave a comment telling me why you want to play it and I will choose one lucky winner based on your responses, and possibly other, secret criteria.

I'm a total noob at this. My first time making a regular loaf of sandwich bread was earlier this year. Now I'm attempting sourdough. This is the tallest loaf I've made, so I'm happy about that. Long way to go before I would share this in person, though. Judge away!

 

Hey all. I'm looking for your favourite games that were made in Godot that are available to play on Steam or itch.io (or other??)

I'm already familiar with such bangers as Dome Keeper and Sapo 3D. What else do you suggest? I'm open to your own games/self promo, or any others you are aware of.
