congrats guys!

We have tried several times to bring ZE back, but there really isn't a community for it and all the times we've tried it just isn't successful. As an event we could try it, but I don't think it would stay long.

I am so excited for this shit to come out!

(i personally like the other one better) Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign collaborative album under the collaborative name ¥$. This album was so good, and I think the marketing for it was just so off. This album was a breath of fresh air from Jesus Is King to Donda 2 being not terrible, but not great either. This album felt like old Kanye in some aspects. I was scared for what this album would've been, but after this release, it's been on loop. STARS, what a great starter to the album, very Donda-esc, if anything even Ye; and it was very calming, a nice welcoming. Nothing too crazy, and it helps you get into the flow of the album. KEYS TO MY LIFE, this song is so fucking solid. Although the beat swap felt very odd to me, after you get passed that it's still such a vibe, driving on the highway chilling with friends. It's nothing spectacular; but that outro is really good. PAID, I am playing this every time I get paid, this song is so fucking good, I can't really describe it, the backtrack is so addicting, the vocals also compliment the backtrack. That beatdrop hits so hard, and gives me goosebumps every time. That outro once again is so fucking good, and that Daft Punk vocal with the glitches is so nice. Great song. TALKING / Once Again, fire ass beat, but fuck North shut up... it's a cute song, and I'm happy he included his daughter into the album, she seems to really appreciate it so.. yeah. But Once Again, this song should've been separate, it's so good and I think decently underrated cause I haven't heard anyone talk about it. Ty did amazing on this. BACK TO ME, this is where I think the album actually begins, I love this song so much, that sample is so fucking good, that intro is incredible and Ty's vocals on this are so smooth, it has a weird Travis vibe to it, but it's so good. BEAUTIFULNAKEDBIGTITTYBUTTNAKEDWOMENJUSTDONTFALLOUTTHESKYYOUKNOW!!! This song is fire as shit. Freddie Gibbs ending the song was so hard too. HOODRAT, HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT HOODRAT AUNTIE. This feels like a song from a different era of music, like the 2010's, but nothing from nowadays, and that's how I feel with a lot of the songs on this album. The backtrack has that weighty thunk to it I love. DO IT, this song reminds me of a radio song from the late 2000's. It also reminds me of Soak City (Do It), and I can't get that song out of my head when I hear the "Do it, baby do it". Great song still. PAPERWORK, brazilian funk is all it is, this song was so surprising and I FUCKING LOVE IT, WHEN I HEARD THIS I WAS LIKE "DAMN YE" listening to this on the highway, zooming and getting entranced in this music is just so fucking fun. BURN, this song is so relaxing, sunny day with the windows down going to the beach type vibe, I love this song. I don't know every individual sound off of Kanye's albums individually, but this is so old style and is so fun. Wish this song was longer. FUK SUMN, such a UTOPIA song, I love it, such a vibe. Carti sounds just like Mario Judas joking vocals. This song is so hard, and Ye' dissing the paparazzi for taking a picture of him getting head in Italy is hard too. Travy Patty goes hard too. Hard song, love it, gets me hard. VULTURES (JUICE), this version was mastered a lot better than the other version, this song is also fire as shit, Bump J vocals and Lil Durk compliment eachother so well. The beat is so good, I love this version a lot more than the Havoc version. Ye's vocals are just plain funny. VULTURES (HAVOC), I really like the beat to this but I wish it synced with the vocals more, its odd. Not bad, not great. Very mysterious. CARNIVAL, this song is probably one of my favorites off the album. The beatdrop is fire, the beat is also so reminiscent of Mobamba. That chant is gonna be so fire live. Ozzy Osbourne is boring. BEG FORGIVENESS, this song is beautiful, Chris Browns vocals are so good, that JPEGMAFIA did so good on the beat for this song, This song is once again not from this era of music that comes out. The way its composed is perfect, the lyrics are literally perfect. It's so mellow, it feels like MBDTF to me. This is the song I've played the most. BEG FORGIVENESS BEG FORGIVENESS BEG FORGIVENESS BEG FORGIVENESS. The edits this song can make are so hard. I really wanna see someone use this in a The Last of Us Part 2 edit. The second half of this song is literally incredible. Ty did amazing. GOOD (DONT DIE), Cudi should've been on this song, and this song feels like the end of the album, or an album even. It's so beautiful, J.Rey Soul's vocals are beautiful. 808s and Heartbreak vibes on this song. PROBLEMATIC, Ty is getting a new fan after this album because his vocals on this are amazing on this. MBDTF vibes again off this song, and that throwback to SO APPALLED is fire. KING, I personally didn't care for this song, it isn't anything special. He could've left this out and gave us Everybody instead. It's very bland to me. This album was actually amazing to me, I loved it so much, the marketing made me think it'd be something different, especially since I didn't listen to the leaks. This album was a 9/10 for me personally. Can't wait to listen to Vultures 2!

If there is any anime that deserves Anime of the Year 2023, it has to go to Pluto. Pluto is a story retelling by Naoki Urasawa of the famous work Astro Boy by Osamu Tezuka. The Netflix adaptation, made by Studio M2 is 8 episodes long, with every episode being around 45 minutes to an hour long. Naoki Urasawa has to be one of my favorite mangaka's of recent time, and there's so much I still want to read from him. He's also the creator of my favorite animanga, Monster. And he has a lot more literary work I'd love to delve into, such as 20th Century Boys, and Billy Bat. The production of this Netflix show is beyond stellar, probably the best thing Netflix has done anime wise, and yes, beating Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Everything seems so perfect, like it was given time, love, and effort. The art style is so faithful to the manga it's actually incredible. The first episode caught me on so fast it's surprised me, it built the world, the characters, parts of the theme, and so much emotion packed into this hour long episode.. and god damn did it do good. When I first initially watched Pluto, I was watching with my best friend and we were both reacting to it at the same time. I literally cried. The first episode and I cried. It left me so conflicted. The score, the writing, the life with both of these characters that are only introduced halfway through the episode. This section of the episode felt so random to me, "Who the fuck are these people?" "Stingy old man." "God why is this even here?" "Holy shit this is going on for so long." "Whoa." "Bro." "Oh wow." "Austin I'm tearing up bro.." was literally almost exactly how I reacted to this entire segment. This animation, lighting, and god damn that fucking piano. Perfection. I have never been moved by someone just simply playing a piano. I love things that are grand, beautiful, methodical in music. And this piano felt so real to me. It felt real, like it came from someone's heart. Not only did Naoki Urasawa create this song (from my knowledge), but he executed the emotion it would convey. A blind pianist, who can't make his last symphony, only to be seemingly taunted by this lifeless wannabe human. Simply just a robot. But this robot has a lasting impression on him as the episode continues. He becomes conflicted in his own thoughts, does he hate this robot? Does he appreciate this robot? It has no feelings, but how is it able to create this? It even got me to think about my viewpoint on AI! God this episode was absolutely stellar. Someday, I want to learn how to play the piano and learn this specific piece. If you've seen Pluto and wondered about what it may be, I really can't stress this enough but watch this first episode, it is truly spectacular. The theme throughout this show expresses a lot about hatred, sadness, sorrow, morals, and love. Naoki Urasawa is just the king at reading human emotion, even showing this stuff in 2004, with his manga being adapted into, Monster. Monster struggles with themes of, Good and Evil, morality, consequences to actions, and highly philosophical viewpoints. This thread literally covers only the first episode, and everything else only get's more and more interesting, such as dealing with international affairs, wars, death, mourning, corruption, terrorism, and so much more. I couldn't recommend this anime more. If you haven't already, please go and watch this anime. It is so worth it.

congrats big man!

January 1, 2024 And the start of another new year! This year was honestly one of my best years. I learned a lot about myself, other people, and overall matured a lot this year! I got myself a girlfriend, amazing and loyal friends, secured myself a future(ish), got myself a car, and overall this has been the best year I've probably had in a very very long time. I have a couple New Years resolutions I am going to 100% follow too, and I'm really happy that I have a good resolution. 1. Start working out regularly 2. Read at least 15 books this year 3. Start heading back to school and pursue my career 4. Start learning off my brother 5. Be more understanding 6. Go accident free for the year! This year is really looking good for me, and I'm excited to see where it goes. If you have any resolutions, feel free to post them! New Year, New Me baby! We are going to the fucking moon this year LETS FUCKING GOOOO! Happy New Years Folks.. Stay Safe.

We all live in your head rent free

I personally don't see the point of removing the forums. I understand not putting an emphasis on the forums, but giving up on it seems so weird? We haven't done anything to boost the forums in ages, so why throw it away? If anything, remove the clutter from the forums, and leave it where it is. If people choose to hop on and make posts, let them. No one is being forced to use them. Even with discord having it's own forum section feature, I personally hate the way it looks and would never use it. I feel like there's a lot of people that share that sentiment as well. I couldn't agree with you more, the forums, although not active, is still a place to exist; if there isn't problems with holding the forums due to monetary constraints, why close them at all? There aren't too many games that have community servers, and some games that do have community servers are either completely dead, or not worth our time to even try and implement. Though we do have certain games that have caught our eyes such as Battlebit, which has a really good community server basis. And we also want to look into Sandstorm and such. And with what we should do with the discord, I personally think- remove certain channels like the insurgency one, destiny 2, politics, food, all that stuff. Heavily unused and adds a lot of clutter. Simplify the discord and keep it clean.

Leaving this here for now, but please refrain from the +1 spam, let's keep the post civil and keep discussion on topic please.

Although with the domain being really confusing, having steamgamers.com vs steam(-)gamers.net; I don't think we should rebrand. I think it'll cause a lot of mass confusion, and how many people truly have messed up the domains? If they were looking for us through any conventional means, i.e our servers, advertising on gaming boards and such, we would probably have this domain linked. Any one who messes up the domain is either 60 and their brain is failing, or 10 and their still learning how the internet works. Steam-Gamers (SG) is such a staple name to me, and it does have a long history, that which isn't terrible. It flows through the tongue well, the tag is recognizable, and we have a solid logo. Also the colour scheme of SG is something I personally love. Everyone sees that stuff differently and I respect that, but the Green, Gray contrast just works for me. I often look at other communities, and I absolutely hate their colour scheme. The Modding Community, eGO, IG, and Karma, are the forums that stand out the most to me as absolutely hideous looking, and from what I've looked through; SG has the best forum in terms of stylization, where to find information, etc. Every time I look at this post, it doesn't seem right to me at all. The direction we should be heading in (and I think we are for the most part) is to adhere to the younger generation of people.. not a bunch of old people who want to play ZE/ZM for a nostalgic run just to disappear off to their lives again. If we want SG to grow, we should be moving to people who have the time, and dedication to spend on the servers. also these names suck sorry. My vote is to keep SG as what it is, and not worry too much about rebranding.

Another lynxie video, please enjoy!

For me, the servers have changed so much that it seems like the options that we have are very limiting and I personally do miss CS:GO TTT so much, that hopping on anything else is a bit tiring. Added with the fact that my life has been so busy, dealing with work, social situations, relationship stuff, financial things; and now college coming up. Haven't had time to even really look at my pc. And whenever people decide to pop the servers, it's literally when I leave. So

What a fantastic movie! If you're looking for a movie to watch, this is definitely the movie! I love the governmental take on the movie, strongly hinting at generational assimilation and immorality for the sake of "making America better". I loved the use of stereotypes in the movie to demonstrate the world they live in, the type of people they are, and how it defines who and what the characters motives are. John Boyega in this film was great. The whole cast was great but it wasn't until after I finished the movie, I realized that the main character was John Boyega. He's changed so much from that clean shaven, baby faced kid we saw in Star Wars. He portrayed his character, and his role excellently. As someone who can appreciate a good black movie, this was one of them. I recommend this movie a lot! Go watch it.

Lets go ZT, and everyone else!

Although we have a "What are you listening to?" thread, we don't have a dedicated playlist thread from what I can see. So please feel free to share your playlists! It'd feel nice to see how different or similar some playlists are! Here is my main playlist I use daily (I use Musi more than Spotify): https://feelthemusi.com/playlist/rac3ou

Threads died after the first week of its release. It rose high, but that was the same for Trump's twitter "TRUTH". I don't think Threads will every get passed or even be competition for Twitter ("X"). Changing Twitter to whatever it is now just seems stupid, theres no value behind the term X. It doesn't flow through the mouth good either, "Yo lemme show you this X." "Just the X discussion." It just seems so fucking bad. Elon is the dumbest genius in the world. Being behind SpaceX and Tesla, good for him, but changing twitter to fit his stupid simplicity narrative is fucking stupid. Poor X Æ A-12" having a mentally deficit father.

I'm kinda surprised no one here has talked about this yet, but I think this is one of the dumbest things in internet history. Rebranding the iconic Twitter to its now, measly "X" is like McDonalds calling themselves "Burger Place". And if Elon named twitter X after his fucking kid- bro I'm done. "X Æ A-12" I see no purpose to this other than Elon showing how impulsive his BPD is. What are your opinions on the rebrand?

I respect a lot of what you're saying here. As much as I love a good lyrical song, they tend to be a little too melodic for me. I'm someone who enjoys a little chaos when it comes to the activities I do, so music thats hype is something I enjoy more. My playlist is a good example of that. As I said above, this album felt a lot more theatrical than a standard album. The music I have in my car playlist is more of a social playlist than a chill playlist. It also works as a good sesh playlist. What you said with TELEKINESIS was spot on, as much as I like it, the beat seems very confused and unsure of itself. It's one of my flaws with the song, but honestly it's also a whatever to me. I viewed this album from the lens of enjoyability versus the message songs portray. Of course thats my preference to how I listen to music, and there's nothing wrong with wanting a more lyrical approach. Saying they hit once and thats it was crazy to me though, I am in love with this album, and I have a fair amount of these songs queued up, specifically songs like HYAENA, FE!N, CIRCUS MAXIMUS, and TOPIA TWINS. These songs (and a lil more) are definitely repeats. They hold this ethereal vibe that makes the world around me a little bit more colourful, but to each their own. There were songs that did wait a little too long for the best part to pop up, which makes me think they should've been scrapped or separate songs. TOPIA TWINS or MY EYES where the beat swap is often better than the first part of the song. If I'm right Travis made a lot of the beats for this album, I could be wrong though. I really enjoy your point of view on the album though. It does sound like a wannabe Kanye album, but also not? It's something. I still like it though!

(fire ass cover) Travis Scott's newest album under Cactus Jack. This album was honestly really nice to listen to. I think people definitely overhyped themselves into disappointment, but those who were willing to listen to it for what it was were pleasantly surprised for this album. This album felt a lot like METRO BOOMIN's: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE album, both being very theatrical at parts. It was very theatrical to me, it felt less like an album for casual fans, and as if he's making his way onto the big screen. If this album was entirely used in his newest movie/short-film CIRCUS MAXIMUS than I would understand that entirely. HYAENA, especially the beginning (not the weird vocal part) felt a lot like I was watching a 1990's black basketball like film, where the camera pans in a shitty part of the Bronx's, a couple kids are playing b-ball and we cut to Ice Cube smoking in his car. Very descriptive, I know. HYAENA started off really weird but once you get into it, you get into it. THANK GOD felt a lot like a normal Travis Scott song, pretty good; not too special for me but it's not bad at all. MODERN JAM felt a lot like a Kanye song from his Late Registration era. I don't know how to feel about this one, I love the part at 2:21 and after that it was really solid, it's a refined taste. Honestly not for me, I'd still listen to it though. MY EYES is Travis going into Lo-Fi.. in the beginning, the beat switch on part 2 of the song is very welcomed and I kind of wish it was it's own section since its so fucking hard. GOD'S COUNTRY meh, not for me. Travis could do better. Definitely a filler song, it's just bland. Knowing how experimental and talented Travis is, it's just kinda whatever. SIRENS IS FUCKING GAS. This song I could see Miles Morales swinging to, absolutely amazing. I love the introduction, then that beat switch BOOM! I absolutely love what Travis does with the drums, and in general this song is such a colourful, hype song. Travis.. I thought this was UTOPIA? MELTDOWN I've just become a Drake fan as of lately, and honestly its just a good song. Nothing special about it. Just a Travis and Drake song.. UNTIL THAT FUCKING BEAT SWAP TO TRAVIS shit got hard fast. Loved it. IS YOU FUCKIN CRAZY? FE!N oh god what to say but, FEIN, FEIN, FEIN, FEIN, FEIN. Shit's fire, love it. DELRESTO a Beyonce feature is CRAZY. Beautiful song, reminds me of 2014, hearing BEYONCE's songs as a kid. Great song, no issues with it. I KNOW ? immediately reminds me of a Drake song. It's good. Another filler song, but a lot better than GOD'S COUNTRY. Nothing special. TOPIA TWINS, sucking toes now huh. Travis and 21 Savage carry this song. CIRCUS MAXIMUS is straight from Across The Spider-Verse, like what? This song goes so hard, such a hero song. I love this shit. PARASAIL is a vibe, very relaxing song. Gives some odd Kid Cudi vibes. Good song. SKITZO its a great song. Kanye is such a vibe on this song; I love the flow, amazing car song. Solid Kanye feat, solid Travis song. Travis loves beat switches on this album. LOST FOREVER is great, another song with great flow. LOOOVE Y'ALL FEEL LIKE THAT?! Amazing sampling on this song, amazing flow, something I would've expected to come out on an album called UTOPIA, fucking solid song. K-POP loved it, when it released I was instantly in love with this song. Amazing single off this album, Bad Bunny goes crazy. Lowkey kinda wish they replaced The Weeknd with Don Toliver since he's like used in every other song known to man. Other than that I love it. TELEKINESIS my favourite song on the album. I already loved HEAVEN AND HELL mix, resampling it and turning it into a full song only makes it better. Everyone on this song fucking ate. Perfect song to listen to when you're high and just tryna vibe.. shit makes you float. TIL FUTHER NOTICE James Blake has been on a fucking roll this year. I honestly have no clue who this guy was until Hummingbird, and every time I've heard him he's been fucking great. Sorry if he's big, I don't study artists. This song is very heavenly, and another Across The Spider-Verse song. A great song to end off UTOPIA. Honestly, after really listening to this album, it's a lot better than my first listen. 8/10 for me. Once again this album felt very theatrical and felt like Travis made UTOPIA for a movie. I really did enjoy this album. Can't wait to see what Travis has cooking.

I'm a cold blooded murderer.. Yesterday I had to work two different shifts at work, and the first shift I was putting something down before seeing a little critter crawling around. My fear of spiders engulfed me and I acted impulsively.. I thought it was to defend myself, but I'm just a selfish monster with NO REGARD FOR LIFE. As I killed it, I instantly felt regret, "Why did I do that? What was it going to do to me..? Nothing? It was going to go home.. It wanted to live." I thought the story, "I'm sorry for scaring you, but I didn't know being seen would cost me my life. Maybe if you didn't fabricate the prickly feeling of my legs crawling upon your skin as I walked across the living room floor... maybe if I had a pink tongue, plush fur, a wagging tail, and four legs... maybe you wouldn't hate me. Maybe you wouldn't have loved me either, and maybe you wouldn't have let me stay, but maybe you would have shown me the door, or the window. Maybe, you would have showed me mercy.." I'm sorry little guy, and little guy's. I don't know if there's a right way to justify myself. When is there ever justification to kill those lesser than I? It's the whole reason of prejudice. There is none lesser than I, as there are none above I. We were all made to love that of one another, despite our differences. Who would've thought a spider, and a murder of a life would have taught me that. I'm sorry. 1 John 3:11-12 11 For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.

You know what I love and hate about being a damn great uncle. I love how my my nephews and niece love me, but god I hate how much they love me. Like I'm laying down and my door starts getting pounded on and the kids are SCREAMING my name and when I come out they are climbing all over me like monkeys. It's cute but I do not have the energy to match these children. Love them to bits though, its so adorable when they wanna sit next to me and basically cuddle when we watch movies or try to like eat my beard hair.. its fucking weird but oh well. Can't wait for their gaming phase. Gotta humble these little guys.

I'm not gonna participate this year. I think its way more special when they do it every 7 or so years. And I'm not a reddit user whatsoever so the whole Spez thing feels really immature. Only two communities I'd support which is r/teosgame and r/berserk and Teo isn't doing it year so I'm good being left out
