Have always loved this about Ilya... he just gets up there, in front of a few thousand people.. and calls a spade a spade. (And sometimes while wearing some pretty cool shirts 😁)

EA = Effective Altruist?

Judging from the number of top songs from Immersion maybe I have saved the best for last ? 😁

I really wanted to do chronological order after Inertia to experience it like everyone else.

I still have at least 10 more listens of In Silico before I can even think about it, though 😅

Omg that must have been awesome. I can see that, and agree it's not an easy one to follow up. I've only discovered them recently and so my path of Inertia -> Hold Your Color -> In Silico has been atypical. In Silico took me a few listens to like but Hold Your Color grabbed me right after one.

A golbal running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ club where people run late night while listening to music 🎶

Inspired btw from recent statements made by Microsoft execs and this article: www.reddit.com/r/linux/s/WP...

(If not, strong recommendation from me, they are hilarious.)

I told my son this when he woke up and he said "woah sounds like my twin or long lost sibling" 🤣🤣🤣

This would seal the deal: does 9YO watch Cash & Nico?

It's super hard!

My son tried out Friday Night Funkin' tonight (another intense finger dexterity game) and it looked wild.

I haven't tried that one yet, but I also suck at Geometry Dash.

He made a few himself too (aspiring Youtuber 😄), here is his latest:

Also have you and your son seen this? youtu.be/MxGBF7Qn7SQ?...

It's awesome. There's a level based on it (and it uses the song in the level). Pretty fun one but I forget the name now...

Which one was it? My son is a fan of Eric van Wilderman. Fun fact: he is a Canadian living in Korea. We all met Votrox in person at VidCon this June.

That pilot episode was the best one I have seen since Lost (2004). 🤩
