    Last video I did something pretty stupid. You might've already seen it, but maybe not so I'll address it here. There was a clip with the action cam of me test driving a car and going way to fast. Absolutely inexcusable and dangerous.

    I've since cut it out of the video with YouTube's editor tool. I also understand that this looks like covering it up, but I think it's the right thing to do.

    There's no reason to leave that clip in (there was no reason to include it in the first place) and I would never want to make it seem ok by leaving it in the video. I'm well aware of the Streisand effect, and I know everything on the internet lives forever, but I think that's the best decision right now.

    All I can do apologize and promise never to do anything close to that stupid again. That's a terrible example to set and I'm sorry for it.

    Most algorithmic recommendations have fallen flat for me, so I usually avoid them.

    I used to find new stuff through subreddits dedicated to sub-genres I like. I now mostly just listen to new music from the artists I already know and like. I use a free service called muspy to send me emails to notify when my followed artists have new releases. They also have a personalized web calendar I imported.

    Tildes is small but its collective interests are wide. I never really know when I post something from my niche little interest range if anyone will connect with it.

    Looks like they merged beta into main shortly after you posted. For some reason I lost the fire for sts2. I got to A5 with all characters, unlocked all the epochs, and just don't feel like playing...

    For some reason I lost the fire for sts2. I got to A5 with all characters, unlocked all the epochs, and just don't feel like playing it anymore. I think releasing alternate act 2 or a new character would definitely be enough to pull me back in. I think there's a psychological effect of knowing that balance is in a state of flux.

    • Exemplary

    If you're willing to stretch from rock to prog metal,

    • Plini - Pan - instrumental
    • Plini - Flâneur (feat. Anomalie) - instrumental, piano
    • Haunted Shores - Blast Inc. (feat. Jørgen Munkeby) - instrumental
    • Haunted Shores - Nocturnal Hours (feat. Jørgen Munkeby) - instrumental

    /

    • Lux Terminus - Catalyst (feat. Ross Jennings, Jørgen Munkeby & Jon Pyres) - clean vocals, piano
    • Caligula's Horse - Graves - clean vocals with gang shout near the end, very long song

    /

    • SHREZZERS - their whole discog? - clean + harsh vocals, sax featured in every song IIRC
    • Epica - The Final Lullaby (feat. Shining) - clean male and female vocals + gang shout + some harsh
    • Amorphis - Daughter of Hate - clean + harsh vocals
    • Rivers of Nihil - The Silent Life, Subtle Change, Where Owls Know My Name, House of Light (...and more) - mostly harsh + some clean vocals
    • Periphery - Wildfire - clean + harsh vocals

    edit: re-listened to Epica and realized there are a couple harsh vocals. Also wanted to note, while a few of these songs don't say in the title who the guest sax player is, it's often still Jørgen Munkeby - C Horse, Amorphis, and Periphery (also note Haunted Shores is a project of 2 Periphery members), and he's in the band Shining that's credited on the Epica song. Plini features John Waugh, Rivers of Nihil features Zach Strouse, and the saxophonist in SHREZZERS is Artem Subichev.

    I tend to only subscribe for a month or two at a time because I end up binging the shows I'm interested in.

    I'm not into D&D or Dimension 20 or anything but I still found this absolutely hysterical. Katie's finest work.

    At first I thought Modem Mode said Modern Mode. When I selected it , the page froze and I got an error "This page is slowing down Firefox". Tried it on Chrome and it had the intended behaviour.

    That period was earlier for me, probably 05/06. Apparently the trend emerged in 05; I'm a little surprised at how fast that caught on in my area.

    I'm curious by what metrics it flopped? I saw S1 and thought it was just OK. They renewed for S2.

    Neva released a little DLC recently. 3 or 4 bucks CAD for a couple hours of gameplay. I enjoyed it, but it's really weird to think about if it was worth the money. On one hand it's a very small amount. On the other, I am getting tremendous replay value out of other games for other relatively small sums.

    I played the Pepper Grinder demo (it was kinda hyped at the time) but the gameplay didn't really gel with me.

    Sorta random question, is the Bestiary in the Compendium section unlocked for you? Wondering if I just need more XP or if it's going to be added in a later update.

    No friction with Ironclad this time (just an act 1 death with necrobinder to an elite), found my own silly "combo" - Clone the shit out of Perfected Strike. I didn't realize at first that the cloned copies would also clone themselves if you did it again.

    I think Act 4 is all but guaranteed to come out sometime during EA.

    The random button is actually a great and simple feature I wished they added to the original so many times haha. If you select A10 for it, and it rolls a character that you haven't gotten as high with, I assume it will just stick you on the highest you've unlocked for that character?
