i fucking LOVE music, love discovering weird genres, small artists, songs with a strong idea behind it even if they are badly produced. I always search new ways to enjoy the music that i already like for example rythm games; after playing osu i started tapping in sync and vibing with songs even if they’re from a random speaker on the street. Lately i’ve been obsessed with sleep token, to the point that people on the train think i’m crazy because when that part from Gethsemane starts playing i MUST headbang it.

And the reason why i made this post is because i often feel like i’m the only person that actually cares about the music they’re listening to

Sorry for the late reply, it was a busy day. Anyway i heard some songs and i think i get the appeal of having songs that talk about specific topics that no regular musician would cover. The thing holding me back is that they don’t reach the level of detail and consistency that human artist can achieve, especially regarding instrumentals. Not for me but definetly worth a try

I would be curious about how today’s discovery is worse that the past, considering that you can access huge catalogues for free and that forums exist. And generalising all new music just doesn’t make sense to me, you should give it an honest try and maybe start enjoying music again

I admit that i am closer to the “AI bad” movement than not but curiosity wins anyway, i would be very happy to give it a try

Interesting, can’t say i do the same but I’m curious about what you like about it. I usually want to be surprised by the music that i listen to (in both a good and bad way), then use the albums as lockets with specific vibes/memories/styles which differ greatly from each other, and i feel like with AI i would lose it.

I absolutely love how you talk about music, and i 100% agree that when you find a good song you have to take your time to appreciate it

I worded it weirdly, art and content are basically the same thing, what changes is your perception of it, it’s up to you to decide if it’s something caring more about it, made by passionate people or just sound with cool patters that makes our brain feel good. (Maybe still a weird explanation)

Totally agree with the therapeutic function of music, hope you’re doing better <3

The more i think about it the more i realize that it’s actually a really weak assumption. It just felt weird to me that you could have a routine that didn’t include music in it, totally mb

Unfortunately i don’t think my little laptop could handle more than 2, maybe 3 layers deep, making my efforts of little relevance to an actual study about the problem

Wow, definitely a more complete response than i expected. Thanks a lot

Strawberry jam for celeste. It’s a huge collaborative project that introduces 100+ levels (base game has 25) with a really wide range of difficulties, graphical styles, new mechanics, original music and ideas on par with the quality from the base game. Definitely a must play if you like 2d platformers

You could try lunacid, it’s not old but definitely old style.

I know it’s not what you asked for but i think you would enjoy the doom games, specifically eternal but 2016 is also great.

It has great campaign, great music, arguably the best combat system in a shooter game, it’s highly replayable, 20€ with all the dlcs when on sale and when played on higher difficulties it becomes extremly technical.

It also has a multiplayer mode but i don’t know too much about it

If you want a shooter i suggest marvel rivals, it has in-game tournaments that you can access after you reach a high enough rank in ladder.

If you want a moba league of legends should have something similar in the client although i don’t know too much about it.

If you want a fighting game then you have hundreds of options. Tekken 8, street fighter 6 and guilty gear strive are the more popular ones with weekly tournaments online. (Most of these should be on sale because of the EVO which is the biggest tournament in the community)

Even mario kart wii (and the newer ones) have regular tournaments with very competitive scenes. Ultimately it’s about what you like to play and how good you are at it.

Came out of beta today

I love learning how things work. Disassembling laptops is extremely stressful the first time (especially if it’s your only pc) but it becomes fun when your realize that they’re (usually) meant to be opened; it becomes stressful when you open items that aren’t supposed to be, like anything that uses glue as a build material. It also helps seeing things less like a magic box and more like a logic interaction between things, meaning i learn how to use them the right way. And congratulations for fixing your laptop, it always seems harder that it actually is

Disassembling stuff. Usually electronics but also items with cool mechanisms like a clock

I did play a lot a couple years ago completely f2p and in the late game the artifact farming gets really bad, to the point that you farm for weeks for one character. It’s not necessary to clear the story (at least in the past) but in the late abyss is mandatory and it kills any will to try off-meta/more fun builds. Still a lot of fun if you play casually.
