Żeby nie było że tylko jazz...
Kilkanaście lat temu opuściłem stację rap, stacji dubstep nigdy nie odwiedziłem, ale gdyby wymieszać rap z dubstepem to mamy grime... jak ten gość śmiga, aż miło!

Arghhh.... Note: The solution to a climate issue powered by unsustainable consumerism is NOT MORE consumerism.

You can't shop yourself to sustainability, folks.

So... uhm... I thought I'd merge, condense, & set a few of my playlists to public.

A thread of playlists to find some new music, or just hit play on a mood / genre playlist.

I've been playing for around 10 hours now and I'm enjoying it so much!

Combat feels great, it's a challenging but really well designed dance of dodges, parrys, and attacks. The platforming puzzles are very interesting, and I love how the different pull mechanics are cleverly used to create engaging sections to traverse. The level design is nicely laid out, with multiple shortcuts to be unlocked along the way.

My only two complaints are:

  1. Up until now, sections have mostly tended to be quite dark and not distinct enough, so it's easy to feel a bit disoriented at times, and
  2. for a creature made of rock, the movement of the player's avatar feel a little bit floaty.

Other than that (and these are more nitpicking than anything else), what a great game, I can't wait to see the rest of it!

I've been playing for a couple of hours on the Steam Deck and I'm enjoying it very much, it's absolutely my kind of game.

Sikwebela - Yallah Beibe - MC Yallah & DebMaster - 2023 (www.youtube.com)

Born Yallah Gudencia Mbidde in Kenya and raised in Uganda, MC Yallah has been involved in East Africa's rap scene since 1999. Alternating rhymes in Luganda, Luo, Kiswahili and English, her conscious, poetic and experimental style was slow to creep into Uganda's mainstream. Following a brief but necessary hiatus, she returned to...

One of the sub-themes in modern UK you may or may not have picked up on already is that the scene is built around a group of absolutely superb young drummers raised on and dance . Here Yussef Dayes pairs with keyboardist Kamaal Williams and others as Yussuf Kamaal for the album Black Focus. This album was massively influential within the small scene and fandom in a pretty short time.

I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.

For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".

Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".

I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).

I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.

I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.

One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.

Unplayed games:
Trying a game again:
Going live on Twitch:

I'll hashtag these with so you can mute it if you're not interested.

June 9, 2023 - Day 160 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 177

Game: Grime

Platform: Steam
Release Date: Aug 2, 2021
Library Date: Jun 7, 2023
Unplayed: 2d (2d)
Playtime: 28m

Kids, it's time to charge up (or plug in) your controllers. Game number four from the June 2023 Humble Choice bundle is Grime.

Grime is a 2D soulsvania platformer. One of the things I've struggled with over the course of the last 5+ months is categorising games, and I've kind of given up doing it myself, and just Google it.

There are so many sub-genres, and games that are mashups of different things, that I just want to make sure I'm talking about the right thing.

After the intro & I was dropped into the game (and fired up my controller), I was struck at how much the game reminded me of Dead Souls 3.

Turns out Grime is considered a "soulsvania" in that it takes elements of souls-likes and uses them in the gameplay.

The actual game is a little hard to describe; there was also the sense of "I have no idea what's going on here" and so was exploring the chambers and tunnels.

The thing that'S surprised me was that I've gone from close to anti-platformer at the start of this project to -almost- enjoying them now.

On that basis, Grime is:

3: OK

ArtBear,

Check the quality of writing & delivery on council estate (London) life from Plan B. Music video really backs up the track.

A grimey hiphop DnB banger of a track with a lot to say about the settings of the 2011 riots sparked from the police shooting of Mark Duggan.
