  • Hmmm… Not discovered in that order, but Satyricon’s Phoenix . I love their stuff, really… but phoenix is unlike anything they’ve done and it’s actually unlike most other stuff that I could find… those blast beats comboed with Sivert’s vocals are just… There’s things that come close but nothing quite gets there… it’s so powerful and chill at the same time… Like being inside during a blizzard or something, I dunno.

    A bit more on topic, however, I’ve recently discovered Måneskin’s The loneliest and I’ve really enjoyed it. Went to listen to some of their other stuff and I was quite disappointed. Have only listened to like a dozen songs so maybe there’s more stuff to my liking in there… I’ll say that my wife really enjoyed Coraline … and while I didn’t like it that much (especially the chorus seems kinda silly and ruins the vibe for me)… when I looked up the lyrics… damn. Powerful stuff. Props to the guy.


  • Not really. There’s so many games out there, don’t waste your time with this one… It’s like outer worlds but not interesting and not funny and with some no man’s sky sprinkled in. But it’s so poorly done and the writing is so meh… Even if you add mods to fast travel and avoid other annoying things it’s still a 6/10 game at best.


  • Yes, ofc there’s lots of rubbish, it’s easy to make games. There’s tons of shit music. There’s tons of shit paintings, there’s tons of shit in every type of art. But there’s also more good stuff than ever before. And the previous stuff hasn’t gone away either, it’s just more and more. You can’t possibly enjoy all the good art that’s out there. Are you sure you still enjoy video games? Maybe that’s the issue…

    Look up the year 2005 or whatever. Tell me how many you’ve played and how many you’ve enjoyed from that year. Some years are better than others especially if you have very particular tastes, but there’s no way there were more good games before than now.

    Most of the games I’ve mentioned had budgets in the millions, but here’s some more big budget games from last year that were well received:

    Mario kart world

    ghost of yotei

    ninja Gaiden 4

    south of midnight

    arc raiders

    Death stranding 2

    donkey Kong bananza

    stellar blade

    Elden ring: nightreign

    metal gear solid delta

    Dying light: the beast

    And that’s only a few that come up in a quick search. I’m not trying to piss on your grave… but just because EA, Ubisoft and Activision aren’t making good games anymore doesn’t mean others aren’t.

    I think it’s a great rec. Rothfuss’s style is amazing and everyone should experience it. (And more people need to feel the pain of knowing they’ll never get to read the end :p) It’s true that it doesn’t fit with what op wanted, but well… They just need to go into it with the proper expectations so as to not be disappointed.
