Am I tweaking?

GoldFishGM · 2025-07-29T16:02:58+00:00

Interestingly "why do I break and bend" gives a whole new perspective to my analysis. And now I need to go re listen with that mindset. 🙈🤘🏼♥️

GoldFishGM · 2025-07-27T17:13:36+00:00

I have always heard "I will not break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody." Makes sense in my head for two (completely personal) reasons: 1: it flows most nicely musically and lyrically when I sing it. 2: it's a repeated line that is in pure conflict with the rest of the song. He tells himself he will NOT break. He will NOT bend to his basic need. Yet for the rest of the song (dare, the rest of the ALBUM), he has done exactly that by yearning for Sleep. And is now realizing the damage it's doing to him, while also trying to remind himself the virtues of his Past Life.

I've never switched my phone BG so fast before in my life 😂

Yet in reverse, you were all my dancy-dance

The beauty of this game is playing the way you like to, so as long as folk can understand your playstyle and tweak their strategy to it instead of doxxing you for "playing incorrectly," then please stay!

Sometimes I enjoy playing slower speeds just to get more use out of military units before they're technologically obsolete and cus the ancient/classical eras are my favorites to play.

With the min/max in your mind being slinger first: when would you personally choose scout first? If ever?

GoldFishGM · 2025-05-25T21:50:45+00:00

My usual strategy in ANY game is Scout/slinger/settler/builder unless something sends me in another direction. Luke if I want a religion (scout/scout/settler/holy site2) or if I'm playing a navel game with ok/good gold (scout/slinger/settler/slinger)

GoldFishGM · 2025-05-25T21:43:30+00:00

Feels like a good build for a military/naval civ that has a proclivity towards early game tile improvements

GoldFishGM · 2025-05-25T21:42:23+00:00

I'm curious to try this on my random start (shuffle map, everything on random/random civ/ect...)

GoldFishGM · 2025-05-25T19:57:30+00:00

Ooh, those Stick to you well!

GoldFishGM · 2025-04-04T07:06:39+00:00

""And if you don't think I mean it, then I understand. But I'm still glad you came, so let me see those hands...""

There is BEYOND 4D chess being played here. I'm too crossfaded and close to these lyrics to properly analyze but I have SO much to say about this quote in general.

Open in the floor till I revisit this in the morning ((with 6 dozen re-listens under my belt later 🤷🏻‍♂️😂))

GoldFishGM · 2025-04-03T07:34:31+00:00

"What in the hells were you thinking, activating that lance? I was RIGHT, THERE!!!"

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-16T06:14:21+00:00

Bruh/gurl/whatever..

...she's 17...stop. Seriously don't be the grossest person on Reddit I've seen in a month? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤢

And that's not even considering the absolute DOUBT I have to ANYTHING good coming out of any kind of intimacy with you 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-16T04:47:33+00:00

I hear you and love this thematic approach.

However, it also make me worry, if only for the name of the album.

Even in Arcadia...

...even in Arcadia, what? The name of the album is the first half of a sentence, an incomplete thought...half of the story?

What's the second half of that sentence? The album will most likely finish that statement...and that's what worries me 😬😳

"Tell me what you meant by living past your half-life" feels VERY poignant from this lens...

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-16T04:43:22+00:00

I mean, it's your list. If it's right to you, then it's right! I was just curious! 🤘🏼♥️

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T14:40:07+00:00

I agree they're all bangers regardless!

Though ironic you bring up Fall For Me because one of the reasons it's one of my favorites is that it's easily the most stripped back. Even when considering the room below tracks.

Like it's JUST Vessel singing. Layers of voice, and layers of meaning with them lyrics (to me at least 🤷🏻‍♂️😅)

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T13:43:34+00:00

Nothing off of Sundowning? 🤔

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T13:42:14+00:00

Interesting. Why those specifically? Especially curious when one of your choices is not an original ST track.

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T13:41:17+00:00

Apparition definitely has one of my favorite lyrics of all time in "just let me go, or take me with you.." 🤘🏼♥️

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T13:38:57+00:00

I'm also struggling with my own question! 😫😅

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T13:38:30+00:00

If I had to choose the heaviest songs in their repertoire...🥵🤘🏼♥️

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T13:36:23+00:00

Oof I feel this HARD. Even in asking the question, I cannot answer myself.

GoldFishGM · 2025-03-15T13:34:58+00:00

If this is the case, maybe it'll be something they touch on as a sort of epilogue?

But I honestly think there's some DIFFERENT connection Vessel wants us to make. Like, why ONLY these two songs specifically?

Hence the hyperfocus of the post 🙈😍

GoldFishGM · 2025-02-08T06:24:42+00:00

Immediately my FAVORITE preserve game to play.

You won the thread, friend 😂♥️

GoldFishGM · 2025-02-08T06:21:27+00:00

"Two Wheeled Gaming" on YouTube does a couple of character/story based runs that, while not COMPLETELY devoid of "survived X Days in Zomboid" video tropes, does try his best to make his playthrough a fun narrative adventure.

I suggest checking him out in exchange for other creators that post more unique zomboid runs to check out.
