This city doesn't know what's coming
She doesn't feel the heat
This city won't know what hit her
What knocked her out into the streets
This city's thinking that it's over
And she's already fast asleep

Absolutely love Low Roar. Had the honor of seeing him a few times. His death was so tragic.

RIP Ryan

Last year. Pneumonia I believe. There will be one final album the rest of the band is finishing up.

Edit: he also had a band before Low Roar, back when he lived in the states, called Audrye Sessions. They were more of a rock sound but still quite good.

You spelled contract wrong four times in that comment.

I think it's possible Trump did not intend it to be used in that fashion, but in reading the article, it seems his supporters certainly intend to.

North Korea says Travis King wants refuge from racism, mistreatment in US (www.reuters.com)

SEOUL, Aug 16 (Reuters) - North Korea concluded that Travis King wants refuge there or in another country because of "inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination" in the U.S. and the military, state media said on Wednesday, Pyongyang's first public acknowledgement of King's crossing from South Korea on July 18.

I don't know anything about Baldurs Gate.

I'm interested in the game, I guess mostly because of the hype. I enjoyed Skyrim and Diablo 1/2/4, and I suppose they're somewhat similar to Baldurs Gate. Given that basic knowledge, is there a good change I'd like Baldurs Gate 3? Also, could I just jump into it without playing the first two?

I'll share my experience. I love oblivion, skyrim, and enjoyed d4. I've never played DnD or a Baldurs Gate game.

I am so stoked that BG3 is getting the recognition for all they've done in putting the gamer experience above all else. Seeing the passion and love they put in and gamers are then experiencing is incredible.

I have also realized the game is not for me. There's too much detail. I don't enjoy controlling a whole party of characters. I may not just be smart enough for all the shit that's in this. I am also a new dad so I just don't have the time or brain power to learn and I feel like it's a big learning curve.

Maybe one day I'll come back to it and feel differently, but I'm also okay watching everyone else enjoy it while I play something else in the limited time I have.

One of the most influential albums of our time.

I am enjoying it. Like the other commenter, I had the opportunity to be in closed alphas and betas. It's indeed a cozy game that's great for relaxing at home.

It's a bit like BoTW or TotK where you set off to go do one thing and you realize an hour later you've done 30 other things. I enjoy that you are rewarded for playing with others (equal drops and spoils) and even gain bonuses when you are near or cheering on others.

There is no health bar, combat, or competition. So this is not a game for typical MMO players. Which I find nice, coming from other games where I tend to min-max or play competitively on a rigorous schedule.

However, 25 player instance limit can get a little lonely. Timegating crafting mechanics make it feel like a little too much like a mobile game and lack of controller support have prevented me from putting too many hours into it. (I am a new dad and controller support has become essential lately. For a game so focused on inclusion, I am baffled that it's still not in the game at this point.)

There are also micro transactions in the form of $25 skins - which is just stupid expensive. They also don't look that great though, imo. You're not introduced to the cash shop at all, in any way. No pop ups at log in, no daily rewards, very little bullshit like is popular in other games lately.

I have noticed a lot of complaints around character customizing (only 2 body types, no facial hair, only 1 race).

For f2p Palia is definitely worth visiting, but you probably won't be there for long.

100% with you. Not a country guy, not into Elvis. Enjoy Johnny Cash, but would never really throw him on. But for some reason OP just resonates.

His voice is insane and he's really learning how to harness it. He's a great song writer and I enjoy watching interviews and such with him. Very passionate artist.

I know he canceled a lot of shows to check his mental health and I hope he recovers. Seems like a great dude.

Jealous!!! He's come around a few times but the stars just haven't aligned for me. Would love to see him live one day though.

Damn I saw Titans and thought maybe a new Titanfall could be coming.

Solid approach and a noble cause.

Always bums me out to see an interesting article with 50 up votes and no comments discussing it. I think comment content is a big miss right now (but when it does happen it's usually more elevated than anything on reddit for the last 5 years).

Cheers.

To be honest, I've held off from listening to anything new since Isaac left. I'm fucking judgy regarding vocalists and I just haven't been ready to give them a chance yet.

I really enjoyed the chaotic, wolf-parade-esque bursts from Isaac. If there's a particular track you recommend let me know and I'll check it out.
