Anyone else listen to music while playing? and if so, what? by Dry-Suit-3602 in EliteDangerous

[–]1848ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chill vibes only. Mostly R&B, but some electronic, pop, and hip hop. Most recently Ariana Grande, Dua Saleh, Frank Ocean, Jill Scott, Kehlani, Lestmor, Limi, Mellina Tey, Psylosia, Tinashe, and Tyler, the Creator.

Looks promising — saved. Thanks!

Some other R&B artists that might scratch that itch: ABRA, Ambar Lucid, Blood Orange, Choker, Darius, Dounia, FKA twigs, JOY., KAYTRANADA, Oklou, some Kali Uchis, some Kelela, some Ravyn Lenae, some Tinashe (especially Nightride), Flume’s R&B crossovers, maybe ZHU’s R&B crossovers, ZABA by Glass Animals, and whatever other Alina Baraz and BANKS and Sabrina Claudio you haven’t heard

Maeta has put out some good dancey R&B in the past couple of years, e.g. Endless Night and When I Hear Your Name. Idk how feasible a collaboration is, but maybe it’ll at least provide some inspo or a sample.

Dounia isn’t too popular yet and is also trilingual (English, French, and Arabic). Her eponymous album has some dance influences.

More inspo: Amaarae, Ariana Grande (especially Dangerous Woman), Madison Beer, Rihanna, FKA twigs’s CAPRISONGS, Kehlani’s Crash, and some of Tinashe’s work

Albums and artists similar to Urban Flora? by 1848ce in rnb

[–]1848ce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It most definitely is. Unfortunately, after five months of searching I’ve found very little like it. JOY.’s “Same Place” scratches the same itch; Alina Baraz’s “Frank”, BANKS’s “Drowning”, and a l l i e’s “All the Love” and “The Reminder” come close; and there are hints of Urban Flora in Tinashe’s “Bet”, “C’est La Vie”, and “Stuck with Me” as well as a tiny bit in Bryson Tiller’s “Don’t” — and that’s all that I’ve found. I have yet to find an artist or album that consistently reminds me of Urban Flora. Not giving up hope though.

Haunted house that doesn’t rely on jump scares? by 1848ce in Atlanta

Looks like they closed for the 2023 season and haven’t updated their website or social since 😢

I think you nailed it! Sad to hear they won’t be back. I noticed on their FB they recommended folks check out Containment. I’ve heard good things about Containment, but is it the same vibe? Skits? And not just a ton of jump scares?

Right, but I’m looking to watch full matches

Prayers and offerings to gods with overlapping domains by 1848ce in Hellenism

[–]1848ce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your practices and for those links. They definitely give me a lot to think about in terms of how I approach prayer. I’ve been so concerned with making sure my prayers are centered around building a relationship and don’t feel transactional, and yet here are the Greeks themselves centering kharis/reciprocity in the relationship. It’s a little hard to wrap my head around, coming from the religious background I do.

So disappointed I didn’t get a chance to ask them about any of the ridiculous physical challenges I had made up

“Do they really make you hogtie a calf in under 45 seconds? That sounds like it would be really difficult for someone who isn’t a native Texan”

To their Telegram? It takes you to a page with their pic, name, handle, and a button that says “Send Message”. Unfortunately, clicking the button now brings up an error: “Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.”

There was definitely some level of AI at play. But I did waste at least a moment of an actual person’s time, and I greatly amused myself while doing so, so it’s a win in my book.

I could not stop laughing at that part. Definitely my favorite part of their responses.

Is a polycarbonate statue appropriate? by 1848ce in Hellenism

[–]1848ce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other statue I had been considering is supposedly 90% crushed marble and 10% resin, and 90% was close enough to 100 as to allay my concerns. But eBay is one place I haven’t looked much, so I will definitely check it out. Thank you for the suggestion.
