"Hey why not just have Jormungandr active immedately" and I said "oho that's ace"

ok so there's that.

Raw stuff in testing but broadly this succeeds where it needs to. Requires refinement.

Broad strokes is to use Generaider as a means to force your opponent into circumstances where they must draw. Reincarnation, Cup, and Wobby exist to ensure that can happen several times.

Dull hits you and you realize you're in for a real treat. Sunshower confirms it.

All my favorites are songs that feature variety in his singing the rest of the work is pretty samey.

Dull, Sunshower, Look Out for Me, and Slowdive are excellent

Turnstile - Never Enough
June 11, 2025 at 11:05 PM
It's really good, of course. Equalparts stupid and smartly humored, yet with an ending that was never spoiled for me even after all this time.

I've never seen it before, and what a treat it was.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail 8/10

I got this to prove to myself that he's not a one trick pony; successfully proven. He's doing what Imagine Dragons cannot. What he lacks in range is paid back through glorious, sundering musicality.

Album is front loaded. Everything after Reactor is just "fine"

S16 - Woodkid

It's Fine™. Dude can sing, just the combination of music, and singing, clash. It's instrumentation is what you stay for and it's worth witnessing.

The best bunch of tracks are towards the front half of the album. Screaming in the Night in particular.

I'm not doing the math. It's a 200 dollar profit. Scalpers will not see the sunrise. That's law.

Okey dokey I'm gonna have a thread where I will be specifically like to calling out anyone that hangs on the idea of being "introverted" or "extroverted" because its high time you were told to be someone.

There isn't such a thing as introversion or extroversion. Its just a scapegoat.

My favorite post-rock outfit is back to once again to brag about how good their Drummer is. And he is!

Whole thing is great but Everyone Plays Their Own Backbeat, Waylander, and Secret Street are the standouts.

I love these guys so much.

City of the Lost - Luminar
April 24, 2025 at 11:56 PM
Front loaded with many manner of upbeat, sunny electronica. Back half chills out, and fades into the background.

Blue, and Sink are the standouts.
Its not the best at forming a mood, but it means well.

Strelok just a money looking at a monolith. Redrick will not be recalled but it is on his bones that Strelok trodden, so Skiv could run.

This isn't required reading for Stalker, but it does give you a better sense of what others saw first.

8/10
Roadside Picnic - Arkady and Boris Strugasky
April 16, 2025 at 5:41 PM
Russian post-rock outfit, one of my favorite bands in the genre wants to augment the world you live in, never once comfortable with doing the same thing twice.

Paper Man, and Glide Along the Abyss are the highlights, but the whole album stands well.

7/10
City of the Lost - Wasteland Guide II

Dunno why this was never thought of before but maybe it was heaven-sent.

This thing is gonna destroy your shoulders in the most graceful manner possible. Its extremely fun and a worthwhile inclusion in your VR library.
You feel so powerful.
