The traditional song sung as the Mari goes door to door, performed by the wonderful Carreg Lafar:

Traditionally, this takes place around Christmas time or New Year's Eve (although there's never set date or time). If the Mari enters your home, it's supposed to drive out the rest of the bad luck of the year just gone, she's supposed to be mischievous in nature.

The inhabitants would sing counter verses to not let the Mare in, this would proceed until they ran out of excuses, when the Mare eventually enters, more songs are sung and the group is given food and drink.

'Y Fari Lwyd' or ‘Mari Lwyd [MArry LOID]’ (The Grey Mare) is a wassailing Welsh custom, typically celebrated on New Year's Eve, it involves the 'Mare' and her group going from door to door (and pub to pub!) trying to gain access by signing verses.

LMAO

Bendigedig 🤌

For fucks sake, Bluesky fucking suckksss.

Watching this one come together has been a pleasure, lovely work 🤌

I realise it’s niche but…CMON!!!

New Zealand is obviously a great fit too, it’s hardly a bad development

And that's for a very small studio, I'd hate to join a huge studio and have to do the same thing, nightmare scenario.

Legit, I got laid off in May from a game studio and they gave me NO time to organise my work and hand it off. The final product just launched and my work is now full of inconsistencies and errors because someone has clearly had to try and sort through my stuff to find what they need.

SWEETAPPLE!!!

The bandals call to you

There's a fantastic documentary on it here: youtu.be/PnxARVtn6m0?...

One of my faves for background noise!

I love Digital Foundry's stuff BUT they are a part of the marketing pipeline now, people who care about fidelity over gameplay go and see how the pixels stack up and make a decision to buy to sit at home and marvel at it, it's put a very strange expectation upon games and their worth.
