This gives me some Metroid Prime visuals, esp si00. I remember John and Dog's names being mentioned in the games "thanks to" credits and now I'm doin a think...

sick, i'm gonna nut

Also I haven't listened to this yet tbh. I've had a busy weekend and I want to fully dedicate my aettention for the first play. After dealing with the bullshit of owning a Chromebook and an iPhone , I'm set to tube in tomorrow morning on my commute!

Oct 30 thing is because of a second pressing/mailing sesh. A few days ago there were two options for vinyl: 16 and 30. One for the first batch of pre-orders and then the other for the next WAVE. Maybe the pre-order batch sold out but more likely it's because lol you ain't getting that shit in your mail four days from now so you gotta wait if you're ordering today

Imagine the package art using some kind of gloss/matte dynamic as design feature like Chiastic Slide. Like there's more to it that we haven't seen from a tiny image on a computer screen. But I also fantasized about this for Exai art which was embossed, similar thing anyway.

This is such a surprising departure from Draft. I guess you move through plenty of stylistic changes when you don't release anything for 17 years

ardidjer

I've wondered if there's some kind of ouroboros symbology going on w the art For those who count shit, we're 3/4 of the way through The Waiting since announcement

If they publish a companion EP titled RE:SIGN it would absolutely break my heart

Phoebe Bridgers is maybe my currently favorite songwriter. edit: Her debut released last year was one of my favorite albums of 2017, much recommended. Here's a song about what I think could be catching up with an old lover, a previous life that she fucked up and had to escape from, or some part of life she simply fell out of touch with, could be anything which is great for the listener to relate to it. And the song structure expresses what that mix of emotions is like effectively here imo. In the second half: string harmony, some pretty oohs and aahs, a backing chorus (all a symbolic continuation of the passing time of a pleasant conversation and upwelling of special shared memories), but I imagine her internalizing the emotion and keeping it straight the whole time probably with reluctance "Anyway don't be a stranger." Really touching. She's something else.

Haven't played it yet, but I've been thinking of Terra Mystica. It sounds like the menacing cousin of Settlers. Several races with different abilities and strengths always makes bortgayms better. Simple rules but designed for deep strategy. The area control / turf war element relies on tight economy, so choices you make for developing territory must be meaningful acts of headbutting. It's high priority on games I want to try. I also played Lords of Waterdeep recently. Really fun (And I won )! It's a lot less stressful than Agricola and slightly more interactive, which is not common enough among worker placement games. It made me want to trade in my copy of Agricola for something else...

That poster is tight. When did that go up on the store page? Probably couldn't have afforded it but it would have been nice to consider it before it sold out and convincingly imagine it hanging next to my desk.

Does anyone else think it is meaningful that they photographed these on top of an oversized CD case of LP5?

I assume Yiannopoulos is one of the 5?
