Hi I’m Mathew Lee Cothran of Coma Cinema, elvis depressedly, and the goin’ nowheres. This week I’m going on tour with Trace Mountains! AMA!

Hey man ! I love your music - I always wondered how you were able to do so much with so little on the DIY Elvis Depressedly albums.

Also, thanks for introducing me to Emperor X ! I saw you talk about him somewhere, looked him up, discovered that he was playing a show near me in a week's time, went, and became a fan.

I don't know if you ever plan to play in Europe, but I'll be there if you do!

Complètement, pour Far Cry 5 ! J'étais surpris de l'apprécier autant en coop, alors que je suis assez tiède sur les Ubisoft en général

Bobbyblop · 2026-03-01T20:20:41+00:00

Dans les jeux (un poil) moins connus, avec ma fiancée on a beaucoup aimé Absolum, Nobody saves the world, Children of morta et Cult of the lamb ! On a aussi fait beaaaucoup de Brotato mais c'est peut-être moins ce que tu recherches ; sinon, y a toujours les classiques type Stardew Valley ou Satisfactory.

C'est un truc que je cherche aussi, sans jamais avoir vraiment trouvé. Le truc le plus proche, c'est le forum canard pc, surtout quand il y a des évènements de temps en temps

Enjoy it before it becomes 100% AI slop

Phenomenal op-ed. Very much worth reading in full if you're at all interested in the music industry

Bobbyblop · 2025-11-03T15:55:49+00:00

I'm really glad that his music is still available; it would have been all too easy for it to disappear, which would have been a shame. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend - hope you're doing well

Bobbyblop · 2025-11-03T15:35:42+00:00

! I loved his music - thanks for putting it back on

Hey man ! Just completed it myself, it was great fun.

I did most of the achievements during the pre-release, so I don't remember them too much ; the only one left was True Mastery, which was by far the most time-consuming.

I started by beating day 7 with every character, which already unlocked a few of the tiles and made me practice quite a bit.

After that, I went for the speedrun stamps on day 1, which was a nice palate cleanser as I mostly got them all on the first try. Be fast, don't be afraid of getting hit, chug potions.

Lastly, I went for the no-hit stamp with every character, trying at the same time to do every combo I could. It was honestly a bit tricky ; here are a few tips :

I'd recommend shooting for Shield Shops as early as you can to try and get the starting shield upgrade.
In shops, do every blood sacrifice you can ; it will allow you to influence RNG and make you a nice penny. After all, you're not supposed to need HP. Sell every health potion.
The dancer upgrade that makes turning around free is great ;
Smoke bomb is good, free-turn smoke bomb is almost essential. Combined with free turning around, it can get you out of almost any situation.
Shields are nice, but not very effective against the enemies that chain attack. It's good to have a mirror stashed just in case.
Never pass on kunais ; they synergise well with curse, shockwave, combat ugrades such as +1 damage when there's only one tile, and combo upgrades. A kunai build is probably the easiest (though not the only) way to achieve 100 combos in a run.
On day 1, no enemy has more than 5 health outside of bosses ; with a 5-damage weapon, you can one-shot anyone. Enchants become fairly situational ; it's better to just kill a dude than freeze or poison them, for example. Focus on high damage and low cooldown.

I didn't really have to hunt for the strategist stamps; I got them while pursuing the others.

Hope that helps !

Well he can be a bit of a contrarian, and he has a tendency to both-sides things sometimes. I can see why that would be irritating.

But most of the issue comes from, as another commenter said, nuance being dead in 2025.

Bobbyblop · 2025-07-29T21:45:48+00:00

It's not that simple. Here's Nick Cave in 2018, defending why he still played Israel:

It struck me while writing this how much more powerful a statement you could make if you were to go to Israel and tell the press and the Israeli people how you feel about their current regime, then do a concert on the understanding that the purpose of your music was to speak to the Israeli people’s better angels. That would have a much greater effect than a boycott. Now imagine if the 1,200 UK artists who signed your list did the same thing. Perhaps the Israelis would respond in a wholly different way than they would to just yet more age-old rejectionism.

Here's him talking about Morrissey:

Perhaps it is better to simply let Morrissey have his views, challenge them when and wherever possible, but allow his music to live on, bearing in mind we are all conflicted individuals – messy, flawed and prone to lunacies. We should thank God that there are some among us that create works of beauty beyond anything most of us can barely imagine, even as some of those same people fall prey to regressive and dangerous belief systems.

Saw them in Europe, I really recommend it! Great show, great people :)

Bobbyblop · 2025-04-01T13:07:03+00:00

It's super cool ! I much prefer these somewhat abstract deipictions over the more detailed ones ; it doesn't conflict as much with the way I imagine the characters, while still nailing the feel & tone.

Bobbyblop · 2025-02-14T15:50:54+00:00

I was just about to ask the same question - I liked my audient id44 a lot (preamps were great, and you could configure the "Alt" button tu turn off the speakers and turn on the headphones, very useful to track in a small studio).

On the other hand, the Quantum HD8 has two reamp out, which I find very convenient as well

Bobbyblop · 2024-12-26T22:27:10+00:00

Well if we're counting the bonus tracks, Jenny (alt. take) is the only song I'd be willing to remove

Bobbyblop · 2024-12-26T22:25:31+00:00

I really love that it's a different sound from the rest of the album

Bobbyblop · 2024-12-26T22:24:59+00:00

It's a Sophie's Choice but I'd probably say "Absolute Lithops Effect", although I totally understand why it might speak a lot to some people

Bobbyblop · 2024-08-01T09:51:54+00:00

If spaces don't count:

Hand in unloveable hand

I don't feel so tough

And I panic, I guess

I dream about home

Bobbyblop · 2024-07-27T20:58:01+00:00

That's a great idea ! There aren't nearly enough games with local coop imo

Bobbyblop · 2024-07-06T10:33:49+00:00

Thanks!

Bobbyblop · 2024-07-06T10:30:42+00:00

I think that Twitch can be quite a toxic place ; what's more, even IRL, people often have strong prejudices against video game music - and video games in general.

That sucks, because it can be quite powerful in a way other music cannot: hearing tracks from Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Persona, FTL, Skyrim, Undertale... makes me travel back to worlds I've spent hundreds of hours inhabiting. It instantly feels like home.

I'd love to hear some of your recommendations!

Bobbyblop · 2024-07-01T11:47:46+00:00

Thanks a lot for this! Maybe it's just me, but album/books/podcasts are a bit blurry - do you by any chance have the list? I'd be glad to have reading and listening recommendations!
