I usually lean more into the psychedelic side as I went deep into the psytrance scene in my twenties, like Ott, Shpongle, Bluetec, Ishq then had a major trip hop phase with Morcheeba, massive attack, Portishead, RJD2 and many artists you mentioned. Supertask has been one of my recent finds that has been impressive. Mostly I am song to song not heavy into particular artists. Here is a small platter of artists you haven’t mentioned.

I love many genres of music, so the open ended creativity in the downtempo electronic scene is where I usually find myself regularly being rewarded with something that feels new. Any genre or mix of many can be worked in and explored with the gloves off. And I love deep groovy bass work.

Show me a political group worth backing and I will listen. Otherwise you are yelling at clouds. We acknowledge, we see no alternatives. Over throw the government, hell yeah sounds punk rock but what replaces it? A bunch of dungeon dweebs with zero understanding of global politics. Some Christo fascist extremist group that would start and lose a civil war with anyone non white. A far left progressive group that doesn’t understand how the American threat of violence is the only commodity keeping the US from being a third world country. There is a reason we spend the money we do on our military, its why Israel is our Middle East enforcers, it’s why we have to back Ukraine no matter what. It’s why the 2 parties are essentially the same.

To be replaced with what? You have a military backed group able to hold power and enforce true democracy or whatever that can’t be corrupted to the same ends sitting in the sidelines? If so I’m down.

This game is brutal but man do I love it. There are so many RNG factors that can make or break your run. But when you go God mode boy is it satisfying. Dunkorslam YouTube videos are your best friend to learn how to get your first win.

Early Jean-Claude Van Damme Cyborg, Ultimate Soldier, Kickboxer, Lionheart, but mostly Bloodsport.

Fresca.

First time I played Myst in 93, that was mind blowing. I didn’t see that level of graphics for a long time after that.

Also a friend let me play Half-life Alyx when it first released and it seemed to be a monumental shift in what gaming would become….. it wasn’t or hasn’t yet, but it blew my mind at the time.

Wouldn’t it be a catch phrase?

Now he can go out like a G and use that newfound presidential immunity.

City of God, (Portuguese/Brazil) One of my all time favorite movies period. Gangster/Crime lord style movie about kids running the Favelas in Rio

Elite Squad 1 and 2 also (Portuguese/Brazilian) Top notch Cop/shoot out movie really reinvigorated the Sicario and John Wick style films.

Oldboy (Korean) The WTF twist is an early stand out of what the amazing Korean producers are now famously known for.

The tentative agreements

Although not very impactful yet, it think aerographene has the potential to be massive.

Gods are literally just a psychological comfort blanket to explain the unexplainable. Most religious people don’t put that much thought into what they believe, challenging concepts are just tucked nicely away in the “Gods will” box and they move on. I think everyone copes with those brain shattering concepts in their own creative way or risk getting buried alive in anxiety.

I second the dust. Dust can collect on the sensor and trigger the alarm. You can try vacuuming or using a compressed air cleaner, or just replace.

Drakan series needs reboot. I played Drakan; Ancient gates. That game was so much fun. The seamless transition from fighting on a dragon to fighting on your feet. The next level spell casting where you had to trace out the symbol to cast. The lore felt really deep like there was a lot of secrets they never fleshed out and ever since I’ve had an itch that never got scratched.

Tarsem Singhs “The Fall”

It is still to this day the most powerful piece of art I’ve seen. I wish I could recreate that experience. I still remember thinking, at about a quarter of the movie through, that this was the best movie I’ve ever seen, and it got better and better. The theater was packed, everyone there was completely drawn into the movie and you could feel the room sharing emotions, it was powerful enough, here almost 20 years later, I can still feel that connection.
