A few I don't see getting mentioned much:
- 3-Iron
- The Seventh Continent
- Hausu
- The Lives of Others
- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
- Spoorloos
Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!
TLJ is in my top 3 stories in all of gaming but the puzzles/gameplay are pretty terrible. I'd still highly recommend grabbing it for a few bucks on GOG and playing it with a walkthrough - the story is absolutely worth it.
I liked dreamfall as well but the story wasn't as impactful to me. I actually backed chapters on kickstarter but never finished it. How are you enjoying it so far?
Very US centric take. I'd be curious to see how Dubai or Singapore stack up in terms of energy consumption per capita compared to large cold-climate cities. Everything is air conditioned and there is so much enclosed space because being outside sucks so bad.
This one is good but Hungry Cat Nonograms is the best mobile picross game imo. Thousands of puzzles, amazing controls, beautiful art. It has ads which can be removed with a single in-app purchase. Been playing for almost 8 years and they're still releasing weekly content.
I was also in this position, there is so much gaming content out there but the whole state of journalism seems to have really fallen off.
Last year I discovered MinnMax though and some of my faith has been restored. They are a community funded group of journalists and enthusiasts who run a weekly ~3 hour podcast about games and the industry. They are mature, lucid, insightful, and also pretty funny. They've also been doing a yearly best-of list for a long time which is a good jumping off point if you want to dip your toe in. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in gaming and the industry.
That was a super interesting read - thanks for the writeup!
I'm seeing Goatwhore on tour with Eyehategod next month! Also Eyehategod is another good one for these situations.
Climbing usually builds strength and helps to reduce chance of repetitive strain injuries. Finger injuries, however, are super common but fortunately don't typically hinder typing.
I got a vasectomy when I was 31 and have never looked back. Would highly recommend it if you're committed to being child free. Was a simple discussion with my (male) GP and after a few questions to make sure I understood the implications and that I had thought it through he gave me the referral.
I really feel bad for women - they have so much more stigma and a harder time with this in general, even in progressive countries.
I exclusively use phones with a 3.5mm jack. Currently on a Sony Xperia 1 IV. That said, I also use bluetooth IEMs sometimes and I like having the option of switching between wired/wireless when convenient.
Not sure about the US, but here in Australia many golf courses are built on flood plains where regular development would not be permitted. Still not nearly as beneficial as native bushland would be, but not as much of a "waste of space" as many tend to believe.
One of my favourite black metal albums is Rain Upon the Impure by The Ruins of Beverast. Nothing he's done before or since comes even close to the perfection of that album.
Or Worship Him which is by far their best work.
I agree. I wish I didn't love so many of Polanski's movies...
Same but also Eminem. First CD I bought was Marshall Mather's LP with money stolen from my dad's wallet.
Thanks for this. I was going to comment that corruption charges in India must either be punitive or politically motivated because it's literally everywhere. I don't think India in its current state would function without corruption.
