    Where my Aphantasiacs at?

    I have an internal 'voice', but it isn't something I can really hear or anything like that. I just know the words being said and thats that.

    Visually? Nothing. Nada. I've never had visuals paired with thoughts, or images to go with dreams, or anything like that. Its still a really weird, obscure(ish) thing that hasn't had much in the way of extensive research because-- What can you research? Its such a subjective and difficult thing to really measure outside of first-hand accounts and experiences.

    I'd love to be able to visually see stuff in my mind. I draw (weirdly, no i dont know how), and it really does feel like if I just had this switch to suddenly picture things I want to draw, I'd be cheating the system.

    They really have come so far. It was a delight seeing them perform with Lordi and Sabaton, and they really know how to engage with the crowd.

    So jealous for Electric Callboy; I've missed out on my chance to see them over here, absolutely everything is sold out :< hope you enjoy them! They put out a live album recently and I just love their energy, its so infectious.

    I so easily could have filled my list with eurovision songs too! We had so many earworms this year, but I agree that 2021 was a cracking year. I do have tickets for Lord of the Lost, theyre playing next week and I'm super pumped. Their scoring was also so disappointing! They should've gotten far higher than they did.

    Fair! It's a very unique game, so it wont appeal to all. I've not actually heard of Enderal before, but total conversions fascinate the hell out of me, so I will give it a peek.

    I'm not sure if it fully slots in but I will wholeheartedly speak up for Return of the Obra Dinn. It is a short experience but it's premise and the path it takes you on is absolutely phenomenal....

    I'm not sure if it fully slots in but I will wholeheartedly speak up for Return of the Obra Dinn. It is a short experience but it's premise and the path it takes you on is absolutely phenomenal. The basic premise is that you have to uncover the fate of a ship crew, with a device that plays back the final moments of their life. I would hesitate to tell you any more about the game, because it is best experienced with as little info as possible. An excellent murder mystery tale, with fun twists and turns as you unravel the story of this mysterious ship.

    Eurovis is still embedded into my brain, and I am still simmering over the Jury voting.
    Hypa Hypa - Electric Callboy
    This has been stuck on my mind for ages now, though All of ECs stuff has so that's not surprising!
    METALIZM - Babymetal
    I got a chance to see these live this year and they were absolutely brilliant. This was on their setlist and I was hooked!
