Why I hate console gaming: The limitations of consoles regarding the graphics and available buttons carry over to PC. Weapon wheels are a good example of that. Especially around the 2010s, when consoles were in the focus of the publishers, PC versions often felt like badly ported console games, including graphical and gameplay downgrades that weren’t necessary at all.

Why I hate mobile gaming: Microtransactions and the manipulation of the player that comes with them. They slowly crept into so many games. Sure, mobile gaming didn’t invent them, but it perfected them. Now even 70€ titles have a cosmetics store and a season pass on day one.

Why I hate PC gaming: The elitism, how awfully expensive building a PC got and the worst one: Cheaters. Cheaters that not only destroy the fun of other PC players, but of console players too with the advent of cross-platform multiplayer. It shames me that console players automatically turn off cross-platform, because they are afraid of PC cheaters.

The album on Bandcamp

Stumbled upon their album Geneva years ago. Liked it a lot but never listened to the rest until a few months ago. Should have done that much earlier.

Now if they would just rerelease Geneva on vinyl.

I strongly recommend that you listen to the original song Jon Hare made a few years before Cannon Fodder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMqOMFW3Gt8

That’s fine. It is a damn good game.

Look, I never said I am a good fighter.

Yes, I will give you that. Lake’s writing style is more… let’s say poetic. If that is one of the main draws of the series for someone, then MP3 might disappoint.

Don’t know, the tone and the themes were very similar to the previous titles. People where thrown off by the colorful look, but the game had the same brooding and dark atmosphere as the originals. I think the contrast between Max’s mental state and the environment works very well.

Max Payne 3 is the best one of the series, made by Rockstar.

Come and fight me.

Great taste.

There is an underground label called STYLSS. They have released a ton of stuff, a lot of it somewhere between industrial, hip-hop and witchhouse. Not everything by them fits your description, I guess you will have to go digging. Maybe start with JVNITOR.

It gets weirder. Shortly after their debut album the band split up. Su Tissue released an almost completely instrumental piano album called “Salon De Musique” a few years later and then… she vanished.

“I myself have not seen nor heard from Su since the Suburban Lawns split.”
— Suburban Lawns drummer Chuck Roast

Great stuff, gonna check their Bandcamp.

The Album on Youtube

I discovered Suicide through Henry Rollin’s fantastic cover of Ghost Rider. Listened to that one dozens of times since first hearing it in The Crow back in 95 or so. Four or five years ago I had an obsession with that song, downloaded every cover I could find and finally listened to the original for the first time. Well, now I play this album once or twice a month, I guess I went full circle after 30 years.

Not located in the U.S.

I should just get a basic CC, but I only need one like every two years or so, not really worth the hassle.

You can only sign-up with a credit card, which I don’t have. I guess I will keep my money then.

Edit: To add some reasoning to why I was interested in subscribing. Apparently patrons are involved in the decision making on which games get added to GOG from the dreamlist. I wanted to subscribe for 2-3 months to see how much influence patrons really get and if GOG shares some background info about the process of getting games on GOG and making them playable on modern systems.

You mean this guy?

Lots of musicians share their music for “Name your price” on Bandcamp and 0 Dollars is an option.

There are labels similar to that. Dingleberry Records for example. They finance records out of their own pocket, often together with other labels, and then produce and sell LPs and CDs for non profit. Records don’t go public domain though, as far as I know.
