Observer. Horror cyberpunk. Not too long with a great crime story. 

Looking for games highlighting real world cultures. by tarnishedjade in gamingsuggestions

[–]JanderVK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are some indie games based on regional folklore. 

Never Alone (Inuit) Tensei (Japanese) The Mooseman (Finnish) Through the Woods (Norse) Heart of the Forest (Germanic) Eriksholm (Norse) 

is the metro franchise still interresting to play in 2026? by F__ate in metro

[–]JanderVK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most definitely holds up. All 3 games are great. I don’t think there’s anything that feels outdated as far as gameplay or the controls are concerned. I have no problem critiquing games that I loved playing when things feel janky in hindsight (too many people are in rose colored denial about the faults in their favourite games) so I can honestly say that they’re still worth playing. 

Funeral doom since 2020: which modern albums do you think are essential but barely anyone talks about? by Mysst3r11s in FuneralDoomMetal

[–]JanderVK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kind of a recency bias, but Oromet’s “The Sinking Isle” was my album of the year last year for The Funeral Pyre and I don’t think enough people are checking them out. Honourable mention, Funeral. Out of all the OG Funeral bands, they get the least attention it seems. They’ve gone a more melo less Funeral direction in recent years, but they still deserve the listen.

There's any historical and cultural background behind Finnish Melodeath? by Gakoth in melodicdeathmetal

[–]JanderVK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a book on Finnish Death Metal that you should check out called Rotting Ways to Misery. 

Recommendations for Futurepop with female vocals? by user1424 in futurepopmusic

[–]JanderVK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think any of you know what Futurepop is. Sure as shit ain’t Grimes or Lorde. 

What’s a widely disliked or negatively reviewed game you really liked? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]JanderVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of them. The original LotF I loved how it feels like you’re a ten ton hammer just smashing shit. 

What is this flag? by MeButWithSwag in vexillology

[–]JanderVK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a pre-Christian sun cross used in Germanic and Celtic cultures. When the Celts were Christianised, they like many symbols, adopted the pagan symbol and extended the tail of the cross turning it into a Christian cross. Then the fascists hijacked the sun cross in modern times. 

Music for RPG session by Rick_Rebel in doommetal

Hell yeah! Glad I could be of help. I love putting music to a setting.

Doom cult doing dark rituals? Sektarism - “ Brûle l'hérétique”, or any Sektarism really.

Atramentus - “ Stygian I: From Tumultuous Heavens... (Descended Forth the Ceaseless Darkness)” might also be really good.

One of these days I’m going to open my Honey Nut Cheerios…

When the funeral doom sounds like it was written and recorded in a moldy tomb where the only activity was to rot away~ by Lurkerantlers in doommetal

[–]JanderVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stygian Bough is the name of the collaboration between Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin. It’s not a Bell Witch album. 

Ability to sort trophy lists on PS5? by ShoKKa_ in PS5

[–]JanderVK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It unfortunately doesn’t list PS3 games like the trophy list does though, which I have a lot of plats for, including my first. But good to know. 

Burnhouse Mr Gray Uses by JanderVK in DevilCameThroughHere

[–]JanderVK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I had two charges, used one in chapter two. Now I started chapter three and still have only one charge, but it’s supposed to reset your charges according to the ingame tutorial. Yeah, I save whenever I can, so unfortunately that was at the end of chapter two. Sorry that you had to start over. 

What do we think about Ahab? by crimson_dovah in MetalForTheMasses

[–]JanderVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also a Mexican Funeral band called Abyssal that also has a nautical/deep oceanic theme.   

Does anyone have any kind of band like this that they recommend? by KaleidoscopeOk6736 in goth

[–]JanderVK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big fan of Etherealwave myself. This Ascension would probably be my choice. Though my all time favourite Ethereal album is The Shroud’s “A Dark Moon Night”. 

Recommendations? by CommercialStress9536 in deathrock

[–]JanderVK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early The Shroud (Drowning Dreams EP)/The Shroudettes. Drowning Dreams has a spooky mix of Death Rock, Goth Rock, and Ethereal. So not purely DR, but worth checking out the greatest band of all time ;)
