    Everything Video Games!

    I'm really enjoying it but I just spent the whole year putting 100 hours into Elden Ring (taking a break). I would say play Cult of Lamb first. Easier game with a more rogue like structure (also blends Stardew in) but similar graphics and indie vibe.

    Beat Cult of Lamb. Favorite indie in a good while. Highly recommend. Now tackling Hollow Knight and continuing to chip away at Alan Wake 2 in between NBA playoff games.

    Pink Floyd Appreciation

    Yeah, I refuse to pay the prices Floyd charges for a lot of their reissues but want this too. Hopefully house of Bezos hooks it up. Also, does anyone have the current version of Wish You Were Here? I have a high quality pressing that's highly sought after... but its also beat to shit in a way...

    He hates the Nuggets, OKC and presumably the Wolves.

    The NBA Thread

    I'll never understand your ability to so easily hate on other small markets, division aside. I'm rooting against OKC to win it all-- but only because winning now would mean they keep all their resources and become a dynasty. Meanwhile, I'm rooting for the Cavs and the Wolves if and when the...

    The NBA Thread

    That post season was painful as a Nuggets fans but Jokic and Mal were babies and learned from it and that series is an all-time fav. The triple OT game turned my Dad and best lady friend from HS into Nuggets fans. Mal being healthy and looking like his old self will do that. I'm still...

    The NBA Thread

    Love Dame and always rooted for the Blazers when they werent playing the Nuggs. His inability to develop chemistry with Giannis was disappointing and I hope Jokic doesn't wait a season too long to ask out if its clear the Nugvets cant get it done (as Ive already said here). His injury was the...

    Best Music 🎵 of 2025!

    Her album from like 2014 or 2015 got heavy spin and now just sits on my record shelf untouched. Probably time to revisit it.

    Best Music 🎵 of 2025!

    I miss Coachella. I had never heard of them til Spotify threw them on yesterday. Listened to that album 3x over the course of the day. Wanted to catch their show in Chicago but I'll be out of town. Were they good live?

    Best Music 🎵 of 2025!

    Been spending so much time in a music league with @Rip_City that I'm behind on new releases. But these 10 albums have all been some level of very enjoyable to these ears: Tier 1: Greentea Peng: Tell Dem It’s Sunny (rap, neo-soul, dubstep) Heartworms: Glutton for Punishment (indie rock...

    Television

    It gets better as it goes along too. LoU S2 E2 was basically everything I could have hoped for even as I'm realizing there is no functional way from the show to reach the power of the games.

    Restocks/Represses

    I was so in until I saw the 45$ ask. I dont understand why their other albums are readily available for decent prices and this one floats in and out of print and goes for steep $. Last time it was in print, they were asking 40ish. Maybe different lables?

    Movies

    Agreed. I'm waffling between a 4 and a 4.5 so I didn't like it quite as much as you. Coogler can't resist making things a little too on the nose for my taste (a pattern). That said, it is a dazzling audio, visual experience with several scenes that will go down as all-timers and one of the best...

    Movies

    Yeah, Letterbox fueled a year of crossing off classics that I had somehow never gotten to. Black Christmas is so good and I don't normally like slashers. Funny until the tone intentionally shifts, creepy af and far more realistic in its vibe than most of the stuff that it inspired.

    Movies

    I was very lukewarm on it. Felt like propaganda in its timing. I won't say more.
