After finally getting around to watching the trailer for DOOM: The Dark Age, I'm left with one very important question:

Did they put Serious Sam into my Doom, or Doom into my Serious Sam?

Album of the Day 277: A Lie We Don't Believe Anymore by Maïak

https://maiak-postrock.bandcamp.com/album/a-lie-we-don-t-believe-anymore

2019 post-rock album from Geneva, Switzerland. Another band with a connection to The Evpatoria Report—this time, it's the bassist. This is heavier and darker than that band, and at times reminds me a bit of if Lowering was more angry than depressed.

My picks: "hochrobotisiert fast keine leute," "Now Watch This Drive," "The Light Footprint of a Predator Hellfire"

Today I learned that there's a company called Acoustica that makes a DAW called Mixcraft. There's also a company called Acustica Audio that makes VSTs. There's also a DAW called Acoustica by Acon Audio. None of these things are related.

I feel like this is a trademark lawsuit mess waiting to happen. 😆

Album of the Day 276: To Stop You Must Die by El Huervo

https://elhuervo.bandcamp.com/album/to-stop-you-must-die

2011 IDM/chillwave album from Gothenburg, Sweden. "Closure" reminds me so much of Robot Science, and I absolutely love it for that.

My picks: "Closure," "Hidden," "Whimp"

@EighthLayer The first No More Room in Hell is a fantastic (and free!) co-op game, so I really hope that the sequel delivers on a more polished take on the game.

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@EighthLayer It started out as a Half-Life 2 mod, but became standalone down the road. https://store.steampowered.com/app/224260/No_More_Room_in_Hell/

@EighthLayer Would definitely recommend! Pretty much everything Valve has developed is excellent, and the Half-Life series is no exception.

@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@DoubleAA @EighthLayer I sunk way too many hours into The Orange Box on Xbox 360. Easily the best thing released on that console, and that one had plenty of great games. Hatless Team Fortress 2 was pretty great.

Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum last night. Just shy of 15 years after launch, the game holds up pretty great, with satisfying combat and gameplay, a fantastic voice cast, and a cool island. There's a bit of a blend of Metroidvania and Legend of Zelda-style level design, with the locations acting as different dungeons, but with extra paths and secrets that require return trips with future upgrades to access.

Anyway, have a picture thread! Spoilers ahead.

If you have about five minutes to spare, You Have to Burn the Rope is one of the greatest video games of all time. And the song that plays over the credits is great, too! A Flash game masterpiece only rivaled by the great Frog Fractions.

Album of the Day 275: Where Good Marbles Go to Die by Stemage

https://stemage.bandcamp.com/album/where-good-marbles-go-to-die-marble-madness

2012 prog metal/prog rock album covering Marble Madness tracks, with each track having a different guest musician.

My picks: "60 (ft Disasterpeace)," "Pipe Dream (ft Lauren Liebowitz of Descendants of Erdrick)," "Dust (ft XOC"

Album of the Day 274: You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.

https://dinosaurjr.bandcamp.com/album/youre-living-all-over-me

1987 alt rock/noise rock album from Amherst, Massachusetts. Very loud, very noisy, very great. Neil Young's influence on J Mascis is evident both in his guitar playing and his vocals. I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to "Sludgefeast."

My picks: "Little Fury Things," "Sludgefeast," "Lose"

Album of the Day 273: Heart Monitor by worriedaboutsatan

https://worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com/album/heart-monitor

2010 IDM/post-rock EP from Bradford, England. More of a glorified single than an EP, with everything centered around the title track, but hey, it's a good track!

My picks: "Heart Monitor," "Heart Monitor (her.eyes.like_static Remix)"

I am amazed that I somehow never realized that the Midnight Special, a TV music show that ran from the early '70s thru the late '80s, existed until like... six months ago? Less than that? (Honestly, nothing's ever made me more inclined to believe in the Mandela effect than this 😅 , considering I was a professional music journalist for most of a decade and a lifelong music fanatic).

Anyway, I've been catching up on it via YouTube, where they're slowly archiving all of the episodes.

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@etherdiver Focus' performance of Hocus Pocus on The Midnight Special is better than the album version, at least in part because it's significantly faster. The whole band kills it, but Jan Akkerman in particular absolutely shreds on guitar here.

Album of the Day 272: Relativity 3 by Lemaitre

https://lemaitremusic.bandcamp.com/album/relativity-3

2013 house/French electro EP from Oslo, Norway. Mostly upbeat, and always catchy as hell.

My picks: "Iron Pyrite," "Cut to Black"

@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

Album of the Day 271: Céleste by L'indécis

https://cultclassicrecords.bandcamp.com/album/c-leste

2015 instrumental hip hop EP from Grenoble, France. Jazzy chill hip hop.

Fun fact: while Céleste isn't inspired by the video game Celeste—the video game wouldn't start development for another four months!—L'indécis has participated in speedrunning Celeste!

https://old.reddit.com/r/chillhop/comments/9cfi1r/hello_im_lind%C3%A9cis_music_producer_at_chillhop/e5ac4j4/

My picks: "Jeux d'eau," "Lost," "Céleste"

Album of the Day 270: Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord Is Dead by Do Make Say Think

https://domakesaythink.bandcamp.com/album/goodbye-enemy-airship-the-landlord-is-dead

2000 post-rock album from Toronto, Canada. Leans a bit more towards the Tortoise end of post-rock, with some more jazz influences, a strong synth presence, and horns on some tracks. "Bruce E Kinesis" almost sounds like a trip hop track.

My picks: "The Landlord Is Dead," "Bruce E Kinesis," "Goodbye Enemy Airship"

While Letterboxd seems to be the popular option for logging and reviewing movies, there doesn't seem to be a consensus option for video games. In the past I've used Backloggery, Grouvee, and Playfire (RIP), but dropped those years ago.

So, what does everyone on the fediverse use for logging/reviewing video games?

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@gmr_leon That is indeed one slick design. Looks to be quite heavily influenced by Letterboxd, even down to the name. Not a negative, given how I quite like Letterboxd's design.

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@questlog I quite like the site design, and your policies are great!

One of the things I like most about Letterboxd is being able to follow people and having an activity feed to see what they've been watching and what they thought of it. While Questlog seems great for reminding myself of what I've played (which is great, because my memory is crap 😆), I hope you consider something similar as your site continues to develop. 🙂

It appears that I'm not the only one to make the connection between Batman: Arkham Asylum's oversized moon and Majora's Mask. Someone took the time to make a mod for it!

For the last two years I've been semi-daily posting "What I'm Listening to Today" links here. Mastodon has some problems with threads containing hundreds of posts, so I re-create the thread once a year.

If you'd like to see, here's my "year two" thread: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/110266770603341546

Or, alternately, every song from year two in the least practical format possible: A 301-song, 38-hour YouTube playlist (note: video #1 contains flashing):

@mcc Sounds like you're describing a MEGAfm.

@mcc Part of me has wanted the MEGAfm for about a year now. I loved the Sega Genesis as a kid, and the sound of it is a big part of that.

But I also know that I should really play with the t̶o̶y̶s̶ instruments that I have already. 😆
