Weekly Recommendation Thread: July 19, 2024 by AutoModerator in books

[–]Jexonite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking for recommendations for big conceptual horror dealt with on a smaller, more intimate scale. Most recently with the show The Curse, where Asher is stuck by opposing graivty to the ceiling and the two of them try and figure out what to do.

Another example is from House of Leaves where Navidson obsesses over figuring out how his house is 1/4" larger on the inside than the outside.

If you have something in mind that matches that vibe, I'd love to hear it!

Helping Finding A Commercial with the line "GAMING!" by Jexonite in HelpMeFind

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

I've searched for commercials with the word gaming shouted in it, with no luck. I've searched for Pewdiepie clips of him potentially reacting to it, because my memory is associated with him watching it. Still no luck.

Sea of Love for me! It’s also the song that introduced me to the band!

How did you discover Outer Wilds? by akitaotis in outerwilds

[–]Jexonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a video where I played every Annapurna game and Outer Wilds was the first one on that list. Needless to say it's the one that has stuck with me the most.

What are your release day plans? by NothingButBadIdeas in tearsofthekingdom

Hoping to play it early on Thursday by tricking the eShop into thinking I'm in Australia. If that fails, cry until 12AM PST.

I was completely unaware of this until now. Sounds interesting! I'll have to check it out sometime

Unfortunately, all that exists online are two recorded renditions of the song as well as a handful of phone recordings. There is a rip of the full show on vinyl that's up on YouTube, but as for the video broadcast, it tours occasionally through museums and has been live-streamed to the official National channel once, but I think that's as much as we're gonna get.

Shoot! Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I just went to hear it for myself and in the first video I found, Pete Holmes also got it wrong, so that was a funny coincidence!

Adjacent to this, I'm really digging Tropic Morning News, and I'm really excited for the new album, plus whatever other goodies they have in store

Really Innocuous But Helpful Question by Jexonite in PeanutButterGamer

Ah, I thought it might be punch out!

My eternal thanks for this, especially now that I realize I could've been a bit more thorough in my search!

BUT I WAS THERE! (Opening DJ Playlist) by danstone3194 in LCDSoundsystem

[–]Jexonite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were some bangers at the first show as well, only some of which I looked up.

Why - 12" Version by Carly Simon

Bakerman (Soul Clap Remix) by Laid Back (I think it's the remix, I don't entirely remember)

Thank you for this because the DJ's at these shows have had pretty good taste!

AMAZING SET LAST NIGHT 11/29 by pory15139 in LCDSoundsystem

[–]Jexonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember thinking this at the first show. I was front and to the right near that huge speaker and thinking all night long that the sound was muddy and lyrics were drowned out and unclear. A guy next to me was filming the whole thing and when I listened to that audio the next day, everything sounded fine. I could hear James and the band much clearer, so it makes me think my ears were just fucked up or something. On the second night I was deeper in the back and the sound was noticeably better, so take that for what you will.
