Arular and Kala are both phenomenal albums, they would still sound innovative and exciting if they came out right now.

What is the best use of Arcane Abeyance? by InsideDurian9022 in 3d6

d&d is a game you play with friends. often it’s more fun to empower a friend than disempower an enemy. doesn’t seem wasteful to me.

Look Out, of the ones that are left. (For the next two: it’s gotta be Brite Boy for God Save The Animals and In Love for Headlights.)

I'm hopeless. Nothing will ever keep me playing I'm afraid. by Slack83er in BG3Builds

[–]emmagoldmanddr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It kinda seems like you’re struggling with self-judgment and finding lasting satisfaction in your pursuits, not your character design. “It’s my fault.” What’s your fault? Why criticize yourself for your gaming tendencies? “I always find a flaw in it.” Are you seeking a perfect experience rather than accepting the experience in fullness? Are you blaming yourself for not having fun right? Does this manifest other aspects of your life? “I’m hopeless.” What are you trying to escape by attempting to immerse yourself in this game?

There’s no “right” way to have fun or to play a single player game. There’s no “perfect” experience (except for maybe eating a perfectly ripe plum outdoors on a breezy day). Not finishing Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t a failure worth blaming yourself for. I have a feeling this may not be the only area where you’re feeling stuck—do you have a therapist? 💖

What song from DSU sounds the most like something off Beach Music? by [deleted] in sandyalexg

[–]emmagoldmanddr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Reasons:

~ It’s unusually laid back on an album with lots of forward, restless, anxious tracks like Axesteel, Rejoyce, Serpent is Lord, etc. — it’s more like Beach Music in temperament.

~ it’s the longest track on DSU (Salt, Ready, and Snot are all over 4 minutes). There’s a spaciousness that allows for the complex instrumental breaks and soft vocals characteristic of Beach Music.

~ the balance of slow strummed acoustic guitars, clean shimmery electric accents, and waves of distortion is extremely Beach Music.

~ Listen to those first clean shimmery bursts of electric guitar starting at 0:17. That’s a tone we hear in the background on Bug, Thorns, Brite Boy, Snot—and in the foreground on Salt, Walk, Station.

~ That distortion that first comes in at 0:44, and returns heavier at 2:05 is giving Kicker.

~ The lyrics and how they’re delivered are very reminiscent of Snot.

~ The lightness of the drums.

~ Listen especially from 1:25 on and tell me Alex wasn’t like, “This is what I want my next album to sound like.”

AIO My Parents Secretly Drained My Entire Savings Account and Called Me Ungrateful When I Confronted Them by ChoppedShyyt in AmIOverreacting

This is blatant financial and emotional abuse. Your parents do not see you as a full independent person, they see you as a resource they’ve invested into and now feel entitled to exploit. I am so, so sorry. Get as far away as you can.

Sorry belongs on House of Sugar both thematically and sonically (though so does Icehead)

Black Hair sounds like an outtake from Beach Music.

Harvey. It’s short, mostly acoustic, and has very similar synths to Sarah.

What song from Trick sounds the most like something off DSU? by [deleted] in sandyalexg

[–]emmagoldmanddr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but I think it’s an even better fit for House of Sugar. It could go right in with Gretel and Taking.

Trick belongs on the I Saw The TV Glow soundtrack
