Amazing band, one of the best gigs I've gone to this year.

I always liked the Monty Python one, and want to try the pirates themed one. Fluxx games are really fun indeed.

Depending on what I am looking for:

  • BBC Radio 6: mainly new stuff, although I have been surprised with very good oldies.
  • The newsletter To the teeth for all things metal https://totheteeth.substack.com/ The playlist in spotify is really good too.
  • Last.fm, even if it's not as used anymore, I still find very good recommendations there.
  • Spotify Discovery playlist has surprised me a lot in the past, but not that much lately. It suggests me what I was in the mood to listen to last week, maybe not that much today. The daily mixes are fine, but it's pushing the same songs too much.
  • The website https://1001albumsgenerator.com even if I am not a fan of some genres, it's good to learn about some records.

From this same thread I am sure I will use https://www.gnoosic.com in the future.

Spending time making battlemaps is gaming too! But I totally understand what you mean.

Yes, I spent some hours (time passed quickly) checking some games in the workshop. I'm quite impressed with some of the findings.

I just bought it today, so I really would like them to be welcome!

As a main solo player, do you have any suggestions? I got it to test new games before buying, but I can see myself using it exclusively for some specific games with long setups, so I can pause mid game to continue later.

Or just the website if you can't support the developers https://goblin.tools/ No need to install anything, it works great using the browser.

I found about it not long ago (also because my partner suggested it: "you may like this - Like? I love it!)

I can't pick just one band, however, I clearly remember the first time I listened to

  • Black metal as a genre
  • Aphex Twin
  • Aenima by Tool
  • Traversee by Year of no light
  • Black Sabbath
  • Industrial Rock in general and Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails in particular
  • Hyperballad by Björk

I'm sure there are more if I think for longer.

That's a pretty good point. Time to read it again! (and this time I'll play it)

Mausritter is a mix of some easy systems, very "kid friendly", it actually won some awards because of it. The Tiny D6 systems are also good and easy to learn: two dice, if you have an attribute that helps, use three.

And I agree with you. I'm one of those playing solo boardgames and RPGs to avoid more screen time

There are discussions about boardgames and TTRPGs in Gaming, even if that community is mainly focused on videogames

 

I have some friends my age still listening to the same bands they used to 20 years ago, complaining about how music today sounds all the same. However I discover something new almost every day and I'm not kidding.

It's true that some of my discoveries are bands from decades before I was born, so they can't be considered new, although they are new to me if that makes sense.

What about you? Still listening to the same tunes you used to listen to when you were a teenager?
