@cabbages: Oh god I miss being south of the Forth! Had speeds like that back when I lived in Edinburgh for university but now I'm back in Fife and, well..
There's this one time in a podcast where they're talking about Longmont Potion Castle and Ryan just keeps saying "It's the best. It's the best" and every now and then I find myself talking about stuff I'm excited about in that exact way.
That and the obligatory "Hot garbage" and using the word "dumb" a lot.
I live in an area where the bandwith is a relative nightmare (the fastest download speed I've ever gotten here is about 300kB/s, compared to the ~10 MB/s of friends in a nearby city) and no ISPs seem to be looking to improve it here any time soon. Cos of this I'm actually really anxious about this all-digital stuff, and its why I've not really bought into the current gen too. It's generally quicker for me to walk to a shop and buy a game than to download it, and with the whole day-one patch scariness going on it just comes across to me like It'll be a couple days at the very least before I can play the game I bought, digital or physical.
The all-digital lifestyle sounds great until you find yourself in a region that can't support it. Also I like cases and box art I dno.
Also they mentioned how Dan stealing from Brad instead of Drew cost him the game. Though Drew had a bone capsule that meant he couldn't get stuff stolen, so Dan essentially would have wasted 30 coins and screwed himself over. I was hoping he was gonna do that but turned out it wasn't necessary!
@manhattan_project: It's been a while but I think Drew won Mario Party 2 by basically rocketing into first in the last 5 turns too? Drews won the two good Mario Partys in the best way possible: complete last minute bullshit. And skill ofc
Back when I had a lot of free time I beat Rock Band 2's Endless Setlist on expert drums. Though I never got the Bladder of Steel achievement (which was to beat the Endless Setlist without ever pausing/failing out), I ended up failing on Shoulder to the Plow which is like in the last few songs. That and I got all the achievements in Dark Souls 2.
I love diving into to the "similar to artist you like" hole and sometimes discover some awesome shit that I dodnt know anything about.
But yeah I dont think you will ever be into music with the same intensity as your teenage self. Back then music was as much about forming and discovering your own identity. I was that way, at least I am not as critical about music as I was back then, if it didnt fit into a certain box of happened to be popular, I would by default not like it.
Came along to say pretty much this. I've pretty much accepted that, while I'm excited about music still (this year has been a really good year for music so far imo), I'll never be as into discovering music as much as I was 5/6 years ago. Spotify radio for artist(s) you like or based on a playlist of favourites has always been a good way to hear some good "new" music for me.
