Was discussed earlier in this thread iirc, but for me it's not a loyalty thing. Steam is just where all my library is so it would be annoying to have a separate launcher for one or two "other" games. I barely play games as it is, I'm mostly just catching up on games i bought and haven't got around to playing, or replaying classics, so it makes sense to use steam to browse and launch and chat with friends. Plus you can load games downloaded from Gog (another storefront) into steam so those play nice together

Goroga is a fantastic/concise game. It had my girlfriend and I captivated as we played it through in one sitting. Also I recommended it a page ago but I just beat Creaks and highly recommend it. Gorgeous and well designed puzzler. Last campfire looks like I would enjoy it but it's not yet available on steam. Assuming it's exclusive to epic or another store? Lame. Luckily I'm a "#patientgamer" lol and will just play it some day when it comes to steam

currently 15,000+usd equivalent with 2 hours to go. this looks like a stupid fucking hypetrain. they're bidding for some vague sense of ownership over an artificially induced 'original' (which can still be copied/pirated by its nature)? seems kind of like that wu tang album that sold one copy, basically a big egotrip (as portrayed by its buyer) Edit: wait.. this is the 6 second gif, no? so there's not even an attempt to make it scarce (which the wu tang album actually succeeded in doing). I sound like an old curmudgeon but now I really don't get the point

boc fans seeing this news

feeling grateful i got to see them in 2007 (seattle show). it was right when i was leaving that youth/high school phase of my life so it was certainly a sort of landmark for me personally. it was a really amazing show in its own right, despite that it certainly inspired a lot of the overproduced-edm-festival-drivel in the decade that came. its good that they didn't follow that trend and turn it into a repeating vegas-style act, as im sure they had that opportunity to do so. also Homework and Discovery are both fantastic albums.

I'm compelled to once again post that this album is just fucking amazing. Don't sleep on it. But notice I'm too lazy to make its own thread.. I would be joyed if someone takes up that noble task

pardon my ignorance but i'd like to understand this better. my understanding is that bitcoin is not under development or control by any entity.. so what is the way out or scaling process? would it take the form of a competing service taking it over? and if so, why haven't the numerous projects addressing the environmental aspect already taken it over? how would this transition look from the layman's perspective?(lets say for example, someone who dont hold any bitcoin but start to be interested in the future once it is more widely used for actual payment)

You make it sound like he personally broke into your house and deleted he track he previously gave away for free.. just listen to the sc track. Like you're really raising the bar of entitled fandom here m8

I'm absolutely loving Creaks (im somewhere beyond ~half-way i believe). As you say the gameplay is totally different than their other games, and they really nailed it imo. Solid puzzle design, plus the charm, art, music that draws me to all of their games.

this mix is fantastic. reminds me of the boc societas tape in reminding me how deep the wells of music go for the true explorers. also he has always had unreleased tunes on that tumblr page, but i dont recognize (or remember) these ones. someone should download and compile..

lol its also new to me. normies unite. BOC acid!

@drillkickeryoure super young my dude. and from the sounds of it i'd say there is indeed good reason to change your habits. im just 30 but my hangovers got way worse through my 20s to the point where i gave up hard alcohol last year. i feel way better without it and I had to do it cold turkey to truly convince myself that i no longer wanted it in my life. because for a few years i was in a cycle of "oh just one mezcal" but then it is harder to control after that and I would end up hungover. my situation is different but maybe theres something there. another piece of advice i've utilized in the past few years is that I find it really healthy to have conversations with people older (and younger) than me in a casual social way; it has a way of widening your perspective. for me that has been through rock climbing. i know its tough with covid and all to find such interactions. but i find it inspiring to climb with 50 year old who treat their body like they are younger, and I think that makes their spirit / perspective younger as well.

Amanita design's Creaks is on sale today and tomorrow only. Good excuse as ive been meaning to pick it up. Love everything they do https://store.steampowered.com/app/956030/Creaks/

Just want to add something I think is important to this thread, without taking away from tributes and grieving. I also don't want to assume or claim to know Phil's particular situation. But I have read that in the last year (may 2019-may 2020) in America marked the highest number of overdose deaths ever recorded. That is a scary statistic. I just want any watmmers who are dealing with substance abuse disorders of any kind to know that you are not alone. I'm no expert here but just want to say that online community can be one avenue to seek help, in addition to your irl community and other treatment option. Its not a bad idea to reach out to people here (i'd be happy to just talk/chat ) so together we can prevent future tragedies. ? Big up (a hello) to the people whove been posting photos and music!

damn just you mentioning that avy unlocked some deeply buried, if unrelated memories..

this. But if i had to pick one that really stands out to me, i love the sound pallette they were using 95-98. and its a wormhole to explore, all the remixes from that era are ace

Such terrible news. May he rest in peace. I didnt know him super well but he was definitely a key and O.G. part of the culture here and I enjoyed many of his musings and left-field energy he brought to the forum. Sending positive vibes to his family n friends (and appreciate you reaching out Logan)

Stay strong sakamoto-san. I still need to watch the film Coda, which is about his life/music, in particular after his 2014 cancer diagnosis

Quasimoto - Yessir Whatever Yesterdays New Quintet -Angles without Edges History of the Loop Digga Madvillainy Piñata/Bandana Those just for introduction, there is great stuff to dig much deeper as well

thanks for the rec, really enjoying this one. Also i just discovered cho oyu field recordings, and that gier is a climber/mountaineer. Here are the journals that form the liner notes for the field recordings http://www.biosphere.no/cho_oyu/cho_oyu.html Also apparently he was on that expedition when 9/11 occurred. I'm sure only resident historian @Alcofribas knows what really went down with both william basinski and biosphere on that day..

(ditto what braintree said) also @dromeyou dont seem to understand that you denouncing 'maskers and vaxxers' is not a passive/defensive stance but rather active violence against society you live in

All previews are up on bandcamp! I quite like it, fits a certain mood. I kinda wish i didnt read that boomkat write-up or 'how its made' because for me that takes away from the magic of hearing it fresh imo

I'll be moving (internationally) in the next few months and all the logistics are causing me mega stress. Moving sucks, but is a complex emotion due to the accompanied excitement. Planning to just bring extra bags between me and my partners' flights, which is the easiest but somehow most stressful way to do it. Much pressure to sell my belongings even stuff i love.
