  1. CW: SOMA, small vent about presence of mind during thought-provoking video games and failing to portray them with the respect they deserve.

    Man, this is the second time I've watched a playthrough or analysis of a game we've played on stream where I've come away from my own playthrough feeling like I somehow missed important messages.

    Granted, you can chalk it up to the split attention that comes with streaming, but when I had this happen after playing #Mouthwashing it was the first time I ever experienced anything around that game, of course it's going to be hard to absorb/digest the themes/messages of that game when you have a divided attention.

    However, when I played #SOMA back in 2022 I had already watched Markiplier's LP before I had decided to revisit the game for myself. I knew there was a philospohical & existential thread woven throughout the game, and while that entire discussion is still very much accurate to my playthrough, one thing I feel I completely missed the mark on is the antagonistic nature that Catherine presents as and how she treats her research and the people of Pathos-II.

    There's a non-zero part of me that almost feels like my take on my experience in SOMA is not how I would prefer to present the game, although the rest of me still wants it to exist, even if I may not be happy with it personally.

    If you're interested in a playthrough that handles it more as a game with some light philosophical discussions & posits, feel free to check out my playthrough on either of my channels. However, if you're interested in a much more meaningful, philosophical discussion on the nature of consciousness, sense of self, and the value of humanitarianism in scientific endeavors such as this, I suggest giving the playthrough from Dr. Mick a watch. He is able to so eloquently explain what I failed to portray with so much more tact & respect, it's hardly a comparison.

  6. Man it's wild that we're already done with SOMA. I know it's not necessarily a long game, I just feel it's can't have already been almost a month since we posted the first bonus Saturday VOD on it. Time moves too quickly, y'all.

    Anyways, we start off today's VOD finishing off the game, but since we were left with some time we picked back up a still new-to-me-at-the-time mod called Hideous Destructor. This was still back before I had my own reskin, HUD mod, any of it. And I picked a mapset that I was definitely not prepared for...

    SOMA, though, man I don't think I'm ever going to forget this game. Legitimately I still think of the themes and questions presented in this game to this day. It's mostly earlier portions, but every once in a while I'll come back to the ending scene here. Hopefully my playthrough was enjoyable and thought provoking for you, and thank you all for coming along on this journey.

  11. Fallout x SOMA, we have Nick Valentine & who knows how many other brain scans the Institute has.

    Could the Institute even create something like the Warden Unit (WAU) or structure gel?

    If Bethesda ever fixes what they did to FO4's to mods, we could get FO4 SOMA mods.

  12. Im loving this meme inspired resurgence of #lowfi #ambient #beats .. for whatever reason.

    We DID have this back in the day, it was called #MonkeyRadio:
    web.archive.org/web/2005020402
    One guy, his music collection and a cgi driven .m3u playlist.

    People have re-recreated the original playlists: facebook.com/share/p/17ZyF1nVf

    And #Soma.fm was there in the early days too: somafm.loudfusion.com

    This was the music a lot of the 1st .com boom as made to.

  13. #SF #Giants #baseball team owners boot #Cumulus #radio #reporters from #ballpark #broadcast "Bunker'" with two months remaining in regular season... No comment from team why after 25 years #KNBR abruptly locked out of longtime #OraclePark post game and prep studio storage closet.

    KNBR had itself moved its #HQ out of nearby #SOMA location to suburban #DalyCity digs in recent months.

  14. It's interesting that this fascist takeover of government happens at a time when it's easier than ever to self-anesthetize. #BraveNewWorld #Soma #Huxley #Futurists #SF

  15. CoROM is up and running on day one of the Special Operations Medical Association (SOMA) conference.

    We are again running the Tactical Paramedic Review for the 10th year in a row.

  16. Once vibrant #SanFrancisco #Street #Festival scene facing extinction as organizers face rising costs for permits, policing and dearth of event support #sponsors. Annual outdoor #events end decades of delight in #SOMA & #Fillmore. Others dropped on #TreasureIsland or dilly dally downsizing and dates in #Haight etc...

  17. I quite enjoyed this album I just discovered by #Soma from 1998. Soma was a short-lived project between #DavidThrusell (from #Snog) and #PieterBourke of #DeadCanDance.

    An intriguing combination of ethnosounds, #darkAmbient, jazz and a lot of other elements. Deep soundscapes paint an intriguing story. Maybe another one for those who like Perdition City era of #Ulver?
