About 30 thousand listened minutes translated to roughly 20 pounds (about 24 €) in royalties which was about 13% of what I would have paid on an individual plan.
Something to note is that the artists (or publishers) have to pay for the right to have their music be streamed on the platform. For example, my Distrokid subscription costs me about 80 euro / year, and I'm absolutely not getting tens of thousands of listened minutes on my stuff in that timeframe.

Comment on Is WoW: The War Within worth it for a mostly solo player? in ~games

There is even a story mode for solo players to experience the last boss of the new raid and the associated story bits. Just today the season started and there is now a way for solo players to get near highest end (heroic raid) gear from delves, which can be completed solo or with up to a party of 5.
I am in a guild and we do go for heroic raids but outside of that I mostly play solo, and I’m having a blast so far!

I think the mix changes are mostly good ones, but I can’t say this is anything super exciting for me personally. Seems like the earlier version of the album is at least hidden on streaming now

Them sanding the rough edges of their gameplay loop and switching up the setting is very exciting news to me! The art is beautiful yet again, and the UI is flashier than ever

It kind of feels like they made Deadpool into 'just another Marvel movie'. Down to the cynical use of a 80s/90s hit in the trailer to cut some wacky over-the-top action clips to.
Maybe with a good chunk of all media having gone so meta, fourth wall breaking and overtly referential since the first Deadpool it makes the whole gimmick of the character feel very.. expected?

It’s an interesting way to record as I’ve gotten so used to recording with someone else present. Something that I had to learn is to record my own takes like I would anyone elses: just keep working on and doing retakes. I do have a perfectionist streak that sometimes really gets into the way of even recording anything.

Much like in our previous efforts, we got the help from my incredibly talented friend Markku Pyymäki on the visuals.
This track is once again a bit of a reinvention of our sound, with its minimalistic instrumentation and blown out vocals. Thank you for listening and I'd love to hear what you thought about it!

My Ironman is very close to 2k total, but I have been on a break again. I think I will be back when sailing is about to drop / has dropped. Been playing off and on during RS1 and took a long hiatus starting in 2008. Got back when the mobile betas were released, and it's been a time suck in my life ever since.
