Relax, it clearly says he’s in @thumpasaurusmusic

Same. The game is impressive and I respect it, but it’s better when someone else is playing it and not me.

Yes, it’s the best. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want.

Ditch or change plans if you don’t feel like it.

Fart freely.

Go to the lobster soup place twice in one day. And again the next day.

Wander off into the fog.

Stop on the side of the road to meet the horses.

Travelling with others is fine, but you should definitely experience solo travel too.

It’s a delicious product!

New Thou merch just dropped

Gym bros would do well to put on a little makeup and smile more

I played Demon Turf recently and enjoyed it a lot. Never got around to trying the Demon Tides demo, but still intend to buy the full game. I find it interesting that the reviewer says the game was “held back”, yet still gave it a rating of 8.

I completely agree. As a fellow souls-liker, it’s way more punishing than those games. It teaches you lessons, but there are a lot of them to remember, and even then, shit happens that you can’t always prepare for. It might be nice to have a checkpoint system at the last Holy Mountain you visited, but then again that might take away from the replayability. The difficulty is kind of part of its charm!

US defaultism

Noita. There is still so much to learn.

Hard to choose, but at the same time it can’t not be this:

Immortal - Call of the Wintermoon

It just keeps on giving. My favourite thing is how they’re constantly looking around and then freeze like deer in headlights when they notice the camera on them.

Absolutely worth it. Had mine (MK3) for 5 years now. Besides having keys to play, I really like using the knobs to record automation, and the pitch stick to try out “bends”. Those are also great for sound design in your favourite synth. I don’t really use the drum pad (fun but impractical) or the other features, but they’re there.

Into the Unwell

It can be hard to describe, thus my interest in what causes it. For myself I’ve somewhat narrowed it down to generally somber and emotionally-charged moments.

The vocal/scream breakdown in the middle, though I think it’s important how the whole song sets the stage for it:

Deftones - Knife Party

The whole thing, but especially the higher notes sung:

Low - Laser Beam

The guitar lead starting at 1:15 & 2:05 and how it synergizes with the bass line, especially on the third and fourth measure of its melody:

Explosions in the Sky - Greet Death

It can happen in songs with different moods though it’s more rare, and I kind of think those moments still share some qualities in common with the examples above.

Joyce Manor - Christmas Card

With Metric and Stars? Holy shit what year is it?

I want to know about music that gives you the chills, and why you think it has that effect on you.

I come across these bedroom covers all the time when I’m looking for “(song name) acapella”, even though a lot of the times they’re not actually acapella versions. But sometimes they are. Love finding these and seeing another unknown person’s passion for music.

Be the space witch you wish to see in the world

What I said is fact. I’m just asking questions.

Hmm, what is this news source? I’m not familiar with The Spectator. Who owns that?

Sir Paul Roderick Clucas Marshall is a British hedge fund manager, philanthropist, and media baron. He is the owner of UnHerd and The Spectator, and co-owner of GB News. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, he had an estimated net worth of £875 million in 2024, up from £630 million in 2020.

Who is the writer of the article, Jane Stannus?:

Oh, I see. A PP glazer and writer for Catholic publications. Not Canadian, btw. Ok then.
