I guess when I ran into Aesop Rock, and got absolutely infatuated? I don't do a lot of rap, so his stuff hitting so damn hard was a surprise.

I remember a few of the other times. Mostly it has taken the right moment, the right mindset and the right artist. A dark autumn evening and a walk in a park for Dark Sanctuary, falling asleep to SunnO))) and waking up to it was a mindblowing experience.

Carpenter Bruts album Trilogy opened up electronic music for me, and Crypt of the Necrodancers soundtrack cemented it.

I just read Nights Black Agents, and they have a similar idea presented in the book, but no rolls.

They give examples of environmental features for different locations, that could be used to up the ante and encourage interactions.

A fight on the streets? Someone gets slammed to a fruit stall and starts chucking melons.

A chase scene on a highway? Two trucks come in between the cars, so you can run on them to reach the other vehicle.

A fight on an icy lake? Cracks form, or maybe the sleeping leviathan sticks its maw out every now and then.

Don't add more hp pools to dwindle, make the dwindling more interesting and maybe make the environment speed up the combat. You don't need to kill all the ruffians if you push them into a river, cutting the time of the encounter into half.

Telegraphing options is good too, since playees might need some encouraing examples. Want a swashbuckling scene? Make the bandits swing on on tapestries and chandeliers to give players ideas and feed their imaginations.

I recently reorganized my vinyls, and came across a female fronted power trio of some cool bands:

Jex Toth Jess and the Ancient Ones and The Devils Blood

All play retro-inspired rock, and all are very nice.

Also, Tenhi. Tenhi is love.

Oh wow, it's still going? I really thought the game got shut down! It's a cool shooter, definitely fun to mess around in.

Wasn't this in an episode of Futurama?

Where are the belching robots when you need them? Or even a giant ice cube.

Oisko China Mievillen Perdido Street Station-sarja uppoava? Fantasiaa, mutta tässä on sellaista film noir-fiilistä ja rikoskoukeroita mukana.

Heyy, very cool! Thanks for the recommendation! I gotta keep this one in mind, after I get through Fear&Hunger. It's pretty brutal, but god I love the pixel art.

I have so many fond memories of the game, but I keep forgetting the name. Thank you for the reminder, maybe this time I'll remember to try and emulate it.

Social work and sex ed with a smidgen of research.

Tinder is very superficial and a hard platform to find people on. The gender ratio is very skewed and it turns against itself, since the competition for attention is so hard. This benefits the app though, since it makes peopel waste money on superlikes and whatnot - so they won't ever try to fix it.

You definitely aren't too old to date around and have fun meeting people. Mingling around in real life might be easier, since you don't have to rely on a single picture and a few lines of text to impress someone.

An aboslutelty wonderful timewaster has been Brotato. Someone described my relationship to it quite well: it's like solitaire. Whip it out every now and then for a quick timewaster, win or loose, it's fun.

Boltgun was great too! So much Warhammer-infused fun.
