I wasn't old enough to listen to Discovery when it first came out, but the music videos and a couple of the songs stayed in my head as a fuzzy memory. Then when I was a teenager enough time had passed for the critical consensus on the album to be that it was a masterpiece (I think Pitchfork named it a top 5 album of the decade for example). This all meant that there was a time in my formative years where Daft Punk were the greatest musicians of all time and Discovery was the greatest album of all time in my opinion. I no longer think that, after getting older you just don't feel music the same way anymore and different kinds of genres and styles begin to interest you more. I'm very grateful however, for the feeling the band's music gave me then and if I try hard enough I can almost remember what it was like.
I've been playing Omori, which is an RPGMaker game. So far it feels very much like Earthbound or Undertale, with some more horror elements. I think like Undertale it's going to be a game with a very passionate fanbase that could turn people off, but also like Undertale the actual game is enjoyable. I'm only a few hours in and I'm not sure how the combat will hold up over the whole game, but the charm and presentation is carrying me along nicely for now.
Jesus I can't believe i forgot the one-two punch on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness with "Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me" and the whole of Bullet with Butterfly Wings. Makes you wonder how Billy Corgan managed to write the lyrics for 1979 in the same period.
