My main finding from this thread is that I probably ought to revisit post-DN Sonic Youth, I bought most of the records, but spent too much brain pining for what they’d left behind.

I saw them loads and the best gug was one when they played mostly an album I didn’t care for, Washing Machine.

I just don’t get this one. I was talking with our mental health first aider at work and they said you have to think about suicide as death from a mental health condition, not as a failure on their part. That feels true but it still feels like this could have been avoided… I know that’s the wrong ...

^You led me on a fun short Wikipedia spree about the original Tomb Raider; I had no idea it first came out on the Sega Saturn, a platform In not even sure I’ve seen in the wild, but now seems to be one beloved by the cognoscenti.

Am suffering from a surfeit of games and too little time; one day ...

I recently completed my first Yakuza/Like A Dragon game, Yakuza: Kiwami and absolutely love it. The core gameplay is brawling and mini games, but the miniature open world of Kamurochō has become one of my favourite virtual hangouts. Have grabbed Yakuza 0 and 2, expect to dissolve into one of these ...

Danny Thompson’s discography is bananas. On his Wikipedia page there’s this confusing pairing:

Talk Talk: The Colour of Spring (1986); Spirit of Eden (1988)
Thunderbirds (TV series): (theme tune) (1964)

Obra Dinn is a lovely experience that I expect to return to now that I’ve forgotten most of the crew details, though I doubt I’ll forget the sailor in a striped top as he had me stuck for a while.

I’ve decided to start methodically going through games that've dozed in my PlayStation library for a ...

Hitting my twentieth anniversary here in a month or two. This forum has given a lot of joy, insight and friends to me. Books, music, film, ways of thinking and, most importantly, some dear friends. I was in India at the tail-end of a back-packing trip when I first turned up here; I'm now 47, a ...

Jimmy! Send me a message if you fancy playing that online some time. I am planning to delete RDR2 to free up a load of precious drive space, but I spent many lovely, useless hours on RDR online, maybe more than on the main game. We could get drunk in my moonshine bar etc.

Edit: gah! No cross-play ...

Astro Bot with the missus this weekend. Cannot wait.


Pure fucking delight.

I want to play this!

Helldivers 2’s filthy grip has loosened: I wrung a lot of enjoyment out of it, began treating it like a part-time job (as live service is meant to work), and now only play it with beloved OG PRF ...

I shall get this!
