I listened to an album by Blood Incantation this year, great metal stuff and was ready to react, then I went and checked that out and Holy shit its straight up Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze type shit. Have to give this a listen

If you haven't seen Wilfred, watch it NOW. It's amazing. It gets weirder and weirder towards the end. It's absolutely fucking amazing.

Oh I love and loved Nethack and traditional roguelikes, kind of in the middle of a year-two spanning revisit. It's amazing how far the genre has gone and while I love ASCII graphics, it's great to see even that side evolve. I'm currently (after like an almost two decade break from) delving into Cataclysm and ToME and I love Cataclysm already, with ASCII, it was a bit, much, at first, but I really feel like a kid again with it. Meaning to get back to Nethack, but Cataclysm just keeps holding me back. Haven't played the OG Rogue yet, but will definitely get to it one day.

Thanks for the other recommendations

Tekstiseikkailut jäi itseltä kokematta melkein kokonaan, muistan jonkun kauhupätkän mitä pelasin, mutta se oli liian tylsä silloin vaikka paljon luinkin ja jonkun luokkakaverin luona pelattiin salaa Koulu kolmosta, mutta se nyt on mitä se on. Vois läpällä kurkata tuota LORDia.

Jos kenelläkään on jotain huippua tekstiseikkailua suositella niin nyt tulemaan. Vois nimittäin nyt upota paremmin ku penskana. Joku vois puhaltaa uutta eloa siihenki genreen, jossei se jossain hikikomerossa ole näihin päiviin huomaamatta elänyt vahvana. Hyvä soundtrack ja ääniefektit ja hyvin kirjotettu juoni ja hahmot, luulisi kuitenkin jopa oikeasti uppoavan vielä tänä päivänä ainakin jollekkin nostalgia/niche porukalle. Ehkä vielä jotain minimaalista grafiikkaa jonkun Shadowgaten tai vastaavan tyyliin houkuttelemaan porukkaa joka ei tekstiseikkailuja koskaan pelannut.

LORDia ei tunnu löytyvän ilman lisätietoja mistään, ei ole itselle tuttu entuudestaan. Mutta Death Rallystä täysin samat fiilikset. Se näytti ja tuntu aivan helvetin siistiltä peliltä aikanaan, mutta kun tässä ihan viime vuosina kurkkaili mitä se oikeasti oli, niin olipa ajanhammas kullannut muistoja. Se oli kovimpia aikoinaan ja, ei ihan todellisuus yltänyt tosiaan muistojen tasolle. Se oli niin helvetin siisti peli silloin. Monissa muissa, "kämäsemmissä"/graafisesti yksinkertasemmissa peleissä ei jäänyt samaa, Triplane oli Triplane, Mine bombers oli Mine bombers, mutta Death Rally ei vaan ollut ihan niin siisti mitä sitä muisti.

Nethackia tuli kyllä hakattua, vaikka siinä ei hirveän pitkälle läppinä selvinnytkään. Jotenkin ne ASCII grafiikat on kuitenkin jäänyt mieleen nykypäivään asti jopa viehättävinä että ei roguelikeja ilman ole pärjännyt tähän päivään. Huikeaa ollut nähdä mitä genrestä on ajan myötä tullut kun hurahtanut uudestaan tässä ihan viime vuosina Cataclysmin ja muiden uusien projektien myötä. Aivan oma maailmansa.

Ukulele is such an underrated instrument too! It gets ragged on for no reason at all. I've been playing guitar fairly seriously for over two decades and have great guitars, but 90% of the time I find myself with my shitty 10 dollar, plastic-looking (paint) ukulele that has a hole on the back because it was thrown at a wall and writing more songs and still finding new things for playing guitar, just because. My playing transformed once I bought that little thing. I've written my best songs on it.

Adding to all of the other comments, I have to add to the music suggestions: You DO NOT even have to learn an instrument. Learn how to make electronic music (you don't have to make techno or other such electronic electronic music. Just lay down a drum track and add a little sound here and another there. YouTube is full of tutorials for full blown DAW's/workstations and the simplest apps. Get Koala Sampler or some other app for your phone or better yet, tablet.

Even simpler, try an app called Keylimba, the default sound is a soothing thumb piano/marimba, and for just a couple euros/bucks you can get a range of instruments, but the marimba is very well enough for a long ass time. With it you can just have the thing loop whatever base you put in and just, pluck a sound here and there. I'm a half-pro musician and I still often find myself just relaxing with it. Making a simple chord structure and just chilljamming away. Music isn't hard and difficult, people/society just approaches it in a really backwards way. Anyone can do music. Sequencers and loopers are such an underrated tool for learning and creativity. You don't have to mind any theory at all, just do what feels good.

I also have to add - meditation. Get a calm album or find one on YouTube that has music you enjoy, or even look up a guided meditation on YouTube, there's tons. Meditation is great if you can find even a moment to focus/unfocus on it.

Quick someone call Bear Grylls or someone.
