    Should I get Red Dead Redemption 2 ? I'm mostly play FROMSOFT games these days (I was also playing Dota but stopped last year) and I don't have the patience anymore for games that feel like work (fetch quests, etc) and dumbed-down gameplay. I do like a good story & exploration though.

    24 EDO is a scale where you divide the octave in 24 equally spaced notes instead of the usual 12, so each note is separated by a quarter tone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_tone) instead...

    24 EDO is a scale where you divide the octave in 24 equally spaced notes instead of the usual 12, so each note is separated by a quarter tone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_tone) instead of a semi-tone.

    This song is a great example of catchy (IMO) microtonal music.

    I have a pair of monitors from psb but I don't know if they are that good, they seems low-mid range. I should maybe upgrade but it's a bit hard to know if it's worth it.

    Listening to Camaradagem póstuma, seems really good too indeed. Same vibe (soft, repetitive) with different sounds.

    Super compelling mix of influences, it works well and I've never heard something quite like it before.

    Cool, apparently the emulator is still getting patched, so things should get even better in the coming months.

    Elden Ring, it doesn't bring much new compare to other DS games (same overall principles and story) but it's still enjoyable and high quality (art is awesome). I'm doing the DLC now. I hope they would take a bit more risks with the narrative.

    Apparently there's a Bloodborne emulation on PC now, but maybe I'll do Sekiro next.

    I think EU countries are doing better because they have stronger socialist traditions, so e.g. putting common good before profit and having state-owned companies isn't out of the question. It's just a bit strange to have 50 minutes of very clear exposition of all the issues for-profit private companies bring without drawing broader conclusions about our economic system. Although I understand it's not really in the scope of his channel (and a bad idea for viewership).

    Great video, but maybe he shouldn't be shy to mention the C-word. I know it's not popular but at some point we have to name the root cause of our problems.
