Darn, and with all the eating of flesh and drinking of blood, I thought it was some cannibalistic death cult

That’s brutal 😩 Sorry to hear it! Hoping by some miracle it boots up again after more drying time, or a repair shop can recover the data
No Ricky pics for now, but hopefully not forever!

Eco doesn’t pull any punches in this one. It’s disturbing but fascinating I’ll say no more

also If you like Pynchon, go all in. Gravity’s Rainbow This is the big one. Rockets, sex, entropy, WWII, bananas it’s maddening, magnificent, and maybe the closest a novel gets to controlled detonation

2666
Bolaño explores evil, the limits of literature, and the nature of disappearance.
It spans continents, genres, and philosophies. The Santa Teresa section alone is harrowing a novel you inhabit, not just read

The Crying of Lot 49
A bite-sized initiation into Pynchon’s paranoid universe.
It’s about interpreting signs and systems like The Name of the Rose’s semiotics, but more absurd, more American, and more slippery.
You’ll finish it still wondering what it all meant and that’s the point.

Prague Cemetery
Eco’s most cynical novel an exploration of how lies become history.
The protagonist is a forger involved in spinning massive antisemitic conspiracies.
It’s uncomfortable on purpose: an indictment of the machinery behind hatred and ideology

The Secret History it's a murder mystery that’s really about deeper themes aesthetics, morality, and the weight of knowledge
It’s less referential than Eco but has the same obsessive, scholarly tone and moral ambiguity

Absolutely, it's a brilliant, dense, and multi-layered novel. often described as a thinking person’s The Da Vinci Code, but it predates that book by over a decade and is far more literary and intellectually rich

This isn’t a morning. It’s the opening scene in a cult classic,
where a man in plaid and prophecy greets the sun
Good morning, fire-starter

Exclusive deals can be risky unless you really trust the company and they have a strong track record of placements. Non-exclusive libraries let you pitch the song elsewhere too, so you're not locked
comment in response to
post
In many sync deals, especially exclusive ones, 1–3 years is more standard. Long exclusivity ties your song down, which can limit future opportunities.
comment in response to
post
5 years exclusive? ❗ Kinda long — be cautious unless it’s a really reputable sync agency or publisher.
Good deal? Depends. Could be okay if they’re well-connected and actively place music. But if they’re unproven or vague, it might be worth negotiating a shorter term or non-exclusive.

Hollow Knight is a masterpiece—so atmospheric and beautifully crafted. The art, the music, the world-building... it’s got that perfect mix of challenge and mystery

Yayyyyy👍🥰

So. Central Rain (I’m Sorry)” might take the crown. It’s haunting but heartfelt, and Stipe’s delivery has that perfect mix of cryptic and raw.
That said, “Pretty Persuasion” is a close second—jangly, urgent, and such a great showcase of that early Athens sound

otherwise the guy and girl who just walked in finds themselves in the slaughtered lamb But with a solid crew, the vibe stays warm, making people want to stick around and be part of it!

A lot of big streamers started with just a few close friends helping out, and over time, that energy attracts more people who want to be part of something fun and engaging. It’s like a snowball effect—once the community starts feeling alive, it grows on its own!

it's not necessary you or the game a lot of it has to do with mods and regulars they play a massive role in setting the vibe keeping conversations going making newcomers feel included, and creating that sense of community that makes people want to come back
