I had difficulty getting into elseq initially - I was put off by the dominant sound it being sort of claustrophobic, dense and compressed. It's still not my favorite and I prefer NTS but it has grown on me a ton, and I love most of it by now. Lots of tracks on there that would be among my all time favorites. elyc6 0nset has really skyrocketed to the top over the past couple of years, I've found more to love about it every time I've heard it. That track alone is practically a full album's worth of amazing sonic moments.
There are still some tracks that don't do much for me too, like c7b2. I know a lot of people love that one but it gets tiring to me, so many cool noises rigidly jammed together that it just starts to feel monotonous. I actually like TBM2 a lot though, it has such a light, breezy atmosphere and makes a nice reprieve from the heaviness of a lot of elseq. It is very simple and repetitive, but I enjoy zoning out and focusing on the subtle reverb changes.

I love this album. Lush arpeggios.
I especially like Skrting on the surface, there's something addictive about that 11/8 groove

Genuinely- a sleeve and loads of walking every day with the sleeve on if you've not already tried. I had the same symptoms and it worked for me (completely fine again after a few months). This was 13 yrs ago and it's been fine ever since. Good luck.
I'll have to try this, my right knee has been fucked lately too. Also had rib flare on the left side for the past year or so, which is uncomfortable and weird.
Funny how I have a "real job" and "good insurance" now and the only difference it's made for me medically is that now I have to pay copays for all the shit that used to be free when I was on medicaid.

I've been listening to more Richard Devine and I'm enjoying Sort/Lave a lot. His music never really clicked for me until SYSTIK, but I loved that release so much I figured I should give his other stuff another chance.
Also still listening to damirat frequently, I'm really loving their music. Thanks again to those who recommended them. It does scratch a similar itch to Autechre, but without seeming like mimicry - it just feels like they're naturally exploring a similar sonic space.

this is awesome. new reverb w/inspirations from this track. this quote is from michael hetrick who is part of Unfiltered Audio:
the reverb is available to plug in alliance subscribers for now but will be available to all in a week or something. it was developed over 3-4 years w/BT.

this is sweet, the way they use reverb has been such a fascinating aspect of their sound, especially over the last decade. So many tracks that give you the feeling of being in a space that's constantly morphing or blinking in and out of existence or something.

Season 3 of Atlanta has begun and proves that it is the best fucking show. What I love about this series is that every scene is captivating and you have no idea where any of it is going.
That opening scene in the premiere was incredible. Such great dialogue and atmosphere, disorienting and mesmerizing.
Loved both episodes. So glad this show is back. There's nothing else quite like it.

Immediately after the mask mandate was lifted at my school we had several more cases pop up among students and faculty.
Now the staff are back to almost all masked and students are about 50/50. I'm still wearing N95s every day in the classroom. I love them. Nice snug fit, feels very secure. Much better than the counterfeit KN95s I used to order on Amazon.

Over 990 games for $10 in itch.io Bundle for Ukraine https://itch.io/b/1316/bundle-for-ukraine
Includes a few well known titles like Baba is You, Superhot and Celeste, and a huge amount of lesser known stuff. I've been sifting through the bundle this weekend and it's a nice chance to check out a bunch of these games I never would have heard of or played otherwise. Currently really enjoying Circa Infinity and Future Grind.

I am grateful Tankakern gets the "triple feature" treatment appearing on the main LP, the dubs (Tankraken), and Quadrange (Tkakanren).
I love these tracks so much. All hail the tan kraken

M39 Diffain has some of the crispiest snares ever made. I like how they tease out that absolutely slamming beat, then pull it away and leave you wading through the murk hoping it'll return. And when it does come back in toward the end it's glorious.
Kind of like M4 Lema, they really know how to obfuscate the funk just enough to leave you wanting more

what custom cards did y'all nibbarians make in Act 3? I just made this. I have no idea what I'm doing lol.
I made a cheap chonky flyer called Lil Fat Boi
Spoilerbut my favorite was the card I ended up with in the file browser boss, generated based on an mp3 of a track I made with my friends back in middle school. Love that concept of rewarding you for finding really old files.
And yeah I've done a few runs with Kaycee's mod and it's good fun, I'll definitely be dipping back into it from time to time

Just finished Inscryption, loved it, tempted to replay parts and try some different things since the mechanics are so burned into my brain at this point
I've also been playing through the campaigns in Wildermyth and I really love that game too. Great storytelling and fun tactical combat. There's something magical about growing so attached to your characters only to see them die tragically in battle XCOM-style.

I tried to play a few hours of that since it's so highly regarded, but I just found it to be really confusing. Every conversation was me just picking replies and experiencing random consequences. Maybe it gets much better later, but I haven't gone back.
It took me a couple tries to get into Disco Elysium, but once gave it a proper go and put in enough time to see the plot start to develop, it became one of my favorites. It really is excellent. There's a lot more depth to the characters and story than I picked up on initially. So many plot threads pay off in interesting ways.
It is a slow burn, and you have to be in the mood for a game that's mostly dialogue, but if you're down for that kind of experience it's one of the best out there.
