And concerning Spotify: I read they pay an artist at most a third of a cent per streamed song. I think they’re ripping off the artists.

While Spotify doesn’t make artists much money at all, I think the focus should really be on the record labels. Labels are dinosaurs and really have no business being so prolific in today’s music industry. If I had to choose between waging war on Spotify or labels, I’d be coming for the labels first.

I haven’t played many of the indie games on the list, but I’m glad to see Sea of Stars get some love. It’s probably the best game I’ve played in the last year

This was exactly what I was thinking. I remember trying to run it on my GTX 970 and it definitely struggled in places. Expecting this to be 30fps max with low graphics on the Switch.

Developers don’t use early access to get feedback on lore, world-building and visual aesthetic. They get feedback on gameplay balance and bugs. A movie/TV studio doesn’t have gameplay, it’s all visual. Apples to oranges comparison

Translation: War. War never changes

I mean, they kind of are, right? We just pay all of our tolls up front in the form of vehicle registration

Easily the best track on The Crow OST. Seeing The Cure live is on my concert bucket list. They’ve come through Seattle a handful of times in my life but I’ve never managed to get tickets

Under A Blood Red Sky is the reason I added Red Rocks to my travel bucket list!

Oh man thanks for the link! I’ve only started listening to The Weakerthans in the past few years and will definitely be checking out this performance

A friend messaged me on Steam at like midnight last night telling me to pick it up. I don’t love the aesthetic but everyone is saying it’s pretty incredible. From what I have seen, movement looks really good, which is a big deal for me in FPS games. Figured I’ll jump on the bandwagon as well while the player count is still high

Custom firmware like tomato or ddwrt can be fun to just play around with and learn more about networking. I used my old router temporarily as both a wifi repeater and as a wifi receiver using custom firmware. I didn’t need it for any particular function, but it was fun to experiment with

I enjoyed my time in Splitgate, but after playing games like Insurgency and CSGO I have a really hard time with shooters having long TTK (fell off of Halo Infinite really quick for the same reason). I grew up playing Quake 2 so the idea of having to drop a full magazine to kill someone is frustrating to me
