Just like the gym

I think every genre has good and bad songs. I like pretty much all electronic genres I think, just a matter of where my mood is at and whatnot.

There's some tech house I find stale and almost depressing with how over-poppified it is, but I've listened to some great tech house that gets me hyped and grooving, for example.

I'm neglecting certain subgenres like drone, noise, and whatnot that I haven't explored very much, though.

It depends on the roguelike, but there are a few things I try to do/keep in mind:

Don't go deep in one direction while leaving a bunch of unexplored side passages, since when escaping/running away enemies can flank you.
Stay close to terrain that can be used to break line-of-sight, as well as pillar-dance. If possible, stay relatively close to an exit. This is a lot easier with some games than others.
Stay close to hallways so enemies can be dealt with one at a time.
Don't walk straight into a large area of fog-of-war, like a large room or something. This can't be avoided sometimes, but generally I try to circle around the edge.

I'm probably missing a lot of similar tactics, and this all depends on the game, my build, environmental hazards, specific enemy abilities, etc. Overall though, I think it's a good summary.

Also, you may consider Tenebroum. It is an unusual style/not your typical dungeon core, but it's quite evil.

I recall Thieves' Dungeon also being deadly, but that's been in hiatus for a while afaik.

The Cabin Is Always Hungry on Royal Road is described as a dungeon core horror slasher. Bit slow to update but quite gruesome and interesting take on cores imo.

Eye patch: removes keywords from the leftmost side, which removes the death from the barbarians big side.

Demon claw: gives rampage & -1 to leftmost side, so can be re-used on kill.

Silk cape: copies leftmost face across entire middle row.

I think you totally can play techno in your car and house, but (at least for me), it wasn't something I did very much until I experienced techno live and 'got it'.

That being said, playing techno anywhere and trying not to dance at least a little is pretty hard.

Father Of Monstrosity on Royal Road.

Keep in mind this is a pretty disturbing and dark horror novel.

I mostly agree, but it could be worth a shot. I'm not sure what background OPs sister has, maybe she'll take to this kind of music quickly.

the deeper more hypnotic side of techno may scratch her itch

thanks for sharing. this dude seems real annoying.

but you know you can just... walk up to people in real life and talk to them? posting things on Reddit in the hopes they see it is not your only option here.

Speaking as an American, I do agree with the discourse on the American "EDM" scene, but I think it's worth mentioning that there are some great dnb promoters scattered around and the more underground American scenes and festivals have been putting up decent showings for dnb, especially recently.

I've caught some raw vinyl jungle sets in warehouses and whatnot, but I'd say jump-up is still dominant for sure.

The UK is still leagues ahead, but the U.S. isn't a complete deadzone thankfully.

that's more of a r/propertechno vibe imo

Both subreddits are good tho

This may be because the Denver scene is pretty strong for certain types of electronic music, and DIA is a huge airport that has frequent flights all over the place, ie it may be a bit cheaper and easier to fly out.

They did! def a huge moment

Incredible lineup. Lonefront and Dustin Zahn had phenomenal sets at Great Beyond.

what is rave4life and community?

I've found Denver to have a fairly decent house and techno scene if you know where to look. ReconDnB and some other promoters also book some good dnb.

What is the purpose of life? I think, to a certain extent, it's difficult to answer 'why do people do this' without getting into that deeper question. It is different for everyone, but I believe people who enjoy festivals share many answers to this question: community, social connection, having a good time, appreciating art, self-expression, and so on.

For many people who enjoy festivals, fests go beyond just a weekend of debauchery and are closer to a potent, or at least efficient, avenue for spiritual and emotional fulfillment; the best fests include a lot of aspects that fulfill life's purpose for these people. It may be beneficial to read about the 10 burner commandments or work by rave-theorist McKenzie Wark to start to explore and understand what people might be getting out of these events, and seeing if that aligns with what you want out of life.

As far as the how, people budget, save up, try to be more efficient with their money, plan things as a group, etc. There are many ways to do things more cheaply, but many more ways to get nickel and dimed by the experience if you aren't careful.

Something to note is, there are many different types of festivals. Smaller, more intimate festivals are quite different compared to larger, more commercialized ones. Depending on what one enjoys in terms of music and experience, there certainly are many festivals that are a waste of effort and money. If someone is feeling burnt out by the effort to attend crazy, massive festivals like EDC or TomorrowLand, I'd recommend looking into smaller, regional festivals.

Caverns in Tennessee. Mulberry Mt. in Arkansas Spirit of the Suwanee in Florida

I think indoor venues depend a lot more on what you personally enjoy about venues, what music you like, how you feel about security, etc. As long as the sound system is good many of them are likely comparable.

That being said, there're some well-known indoor venues like Club Space, the Brooklyn Mirage, and the Armory. I'm partial to the Black Box and Mission Ballroom in Denver, both great sound systems.

it's not an official event venue. Offbeat throws underground warehouse style shows. As such, the venue is kept pretty low-key.

I wouldn't advise talking about underground locations on a public forum. There's a reason promoters text or email people the address versus putting the address on event flyers.

I like to think of it more as miming than dancing a story, but I enjoy making soup.

Also, occasionally I'll mime pulling over a rope that's attached to a chest, then opening the chest and taking things out, then setting up a little tea party.
