I stumbled upon my middle school playlist and I forgot how much I loved mall metal and Trivium.

Related to that, I love how many of the boss themes from FFXIV reproduce the sound of that early-2010s era of rock and metal.

I showed my friends FFXIV and they took to it quickly--which is awesome--but they've vastly out-paced me because I'm a FF nerd and they are MMO gameplay nerds, which is less awesome. I bought a skip pass to try to catch up to them, but can anyone recommend a site or guide that helps newbies new to the MMO thing catch up with the general meta?

Also, is which expansions have stories worth watching youtube for? I know people praise the lore, but I haven't paid enough attention to said praise to know the specifics

I would say that if I had to identify the Dark Souls of meal prep, based on recent experience I would say it would have to be sushi-making: intrinsic to a core idea of Japanese design philosophy, requires precise motions and bladework, and you can do a lot building on a handful of high-quality key ingredients.

Pizza is the Platinum game: requires a base level of execution where missing a step can make the whole thing collapse, but once you've nailed that it's a palette for a variety of self-expression, and you can always endlessly retry for a more perfect result; the hotter the fire the better the result.

The Naughty Dog game of meal prep is hamburger steak. I will not elaborate on this one further

The 60 FPS mod that said it would break the game sometimes broke the game and I haven't had the energy to re-do that part again to see if I fixed it by no longer having that mod

I finished Genesis Noir last night. I'm going to write up some more concrete thoughts some time this week when I've had time to digest it a little bit, but my pithy one-sentence review would be "Genesis Noir is a fantastic animated film cruelly twisted into being a video game through the addition of insipid puzzling mechanics".

Anyway here's a sassy videogame witch.

Judging by the number of 3DS icons of her that were up for grabs in the arcade, Ashley is very popular in Japan.

not pointy, so the hat is no help. Nothing else identifying like a broomstick. She might still be a witch but for us to know for sure, she'd have to tell us herself

This track from the Halo 2 soundtrack does that for me big time and is critically underrated

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNhfuhiveUM

I really wish they had written more of the song! That's a killer jam but it ends pretty quick.

Also for classics, I've always thought E1M8 is hauntingly beautiful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=volI6Q40TQQ

Both of these tracks, I instantly picture the 3rd act of some action movie where the hero has lost everything and is beat down but isn't giving up and is heading in to face the big bad.

It's always funny to see what sort of events happen in Persona games on 4.20 (and other holidays I guess). In 5 it's the first day you can steal a treasure, and in P4 a book is released in the bookstore called A Great Man
