The part of the brain that goes "we're doing reflexes now and you don't get a say" is wild.

Monster Hunter is a great series. Not terribly stoked about the endgame in Rise though. I think my ideal game would be something like Generations Ultimate but with the overall clunk removal that world/rise did.

Fair warning, Battle of Mice can be tough to listen to. Song 6 of "A day of Nights", titled "At the base of the giants throat" has 911 call audio from 7:00 ish to the end of the song.

Rheia is so fucking good. It's a perfect example of music driven by emotion and backed up by incredible execution of the music itself. Glad to see that other people dig it. As for Deafheaven, I loved it when I first heard of it and listened to it all the time, but it's become one of those bands that I can't listen to anymore because of the association to that point in my life, which was not great to put lightly. I remember it being an incredible band, but it's been close to 10 years since I've listened to it, so I can't say whether I'd think it's good today. Maybe I wouldn't like it today if I was just hearing it the first time.

Edit: my favorite Battle of Mice song, Sleep and Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k74EB4XVp0

Funny, I have a stray cat that comes by who has that description. We call him Waggles.

Here he is, pondering what a tortured life he would live should he choose to be a house cat, forced to see life outside through the iron bars of the window frame, on account of being too inconvenienced by going through the cat door. He decided such a life was too much to bare, so he went to the front door and demanded I let him out.

He hates cat doors, but he'll end up coming in the house on his own maybe once a month or so.

Check out Battle of Mice, Deafheaven, and Oathbreaker if you haven't. They lean pretty heavily on the depressing side of metal, but they have some killer vibes.

Could check out High on Fire if you haven't.

Saw them open for Mastodon in 2009 (I think). Fucking excellent on stage.

Started the night off with Fireface: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2HFUePNKDs

Newpipe is fucking great. Does what I want it to and doesn't do what I don't want it to. Favorite thing about it is the ability to easily download video or audio.

I'm so glad I decided to read this without skipping to the end first. What a great little journey, thanks for this.

My only suggestion is to spoiler the last bit for those with wandering eyes.

If there's one thing you wanna look strong in front of, it's nuclear fallout.

The term you're looking for is doublethink.
