Halocene, she does a bunch of covers of old rock songs from around the early 2000s. It’s like fresh nostalgia straight into my ears. Her original stuff is also pretty good :)
idk but I’m here.

This is it for me. In particular as my hobbies shifted to self hosting, linux, and my own privacy, I find that lemmy is an incredible source of info and insight. But I’m not really here to meet or follow individuals as much as I am things that interest me.
It can be. I’m actually headed there in 4 days. Tickets this time around were definitely higher than usual but I managed to get them for $940 ish. Not ideal since the whole family is going and my bank account is hurting. Also not ideal was having to choose a 3am flight with a trash layover in dfw… but fingers crossed cheap shopping while were there makes up for it.
Speaking of plane tickets. As a man who flies to Korea to visit family every other year or so.
Always brows tickets in incognito. Airlines may change rates based on whether you’re a return visitor to their site and not having cookies can help.
Start with Google flights. This will give you an idea of when (what days and times) tickets are cheapest. Though generally Tuesday or Thursday are the answer.
Once you have your time frame use kayak or some other ticket agregator. This will let you find the airline and flight that you want.
Take that flight number and time and go directly to the airlines website. Aggregate sites like kayak rates are generally slightly higher that the airline because they gotta make dollars somehow.
Though not always I’ve found that some foreign Airlines charge native fliers less. E.g. if you’re flying Korea air change .Com in your web address to .kr. This makes the site in Korean but Google translate page can help here
It’s a bit of a process but I generally pay less than 1,000 round trip for flight to Korea and I live in a state with no international airport so I always have layovers.
Speaking of layovers. Use them. See a cheap ticket but it has a 24 hour layover in Paris? Fuck it, that’s a day in Paris :). Just be aware that you need roughly 3 hours in customs depending on your destination. So a 5 hour layover is gonna be a boring 5 hours. Long enough to wait, not long enough to do anything.
Bonus tip!! If you have good credit. Look for a credit card that offers a huge bonus or mile’s up front then immediately cash those in for a cheaper flight. Side note though on the ones that give you 5% cash back or whatever. You always have to book through them and it’s almost always, in my experience, like 5% more expensive. Fuck you Chase.
Do something active that allows for conversation. Things like movies are trash for a first date. You can’t talk, there’s no way to get to know the other person.
Something like a park, or a light hike is ideal. You get to experience something together in a conversational atmosphere. Where I grew up there’s a nice park by the river. It’s well lit, safe, and relatively public; while still being a beautiful place to visit. It helps everyone involved feel safe and gives ample time to chat and see the sights.
StS is glorious. It’s one of the few games I’ve 100% on Steam. Definitely on my top 10 list.
Eyy SanctuaryRPG has some wild ascii art! Definitely a good game!
Ohh I’ve heard of it! I think Roguelite Deckbuilders are one of my favorite forks to the roguelike genre. They consume more of my time and money than I’d like to admit to…
Now we’re getting into some B Track RLs! I haven’t played URR in ages!
Qud is a fabulous game. It’s definitely a RL that I need to be in the mood for (Given it’s length) but it has hands down the best atmosphere of near any game I’ve ever played RL or not.
There is for sure some tedium in RLs. I think what finally caused them to click for me was to not focus as much on what items I need to win, but on what items (or play style) I needed to reduce the randomness. Watching people like Ultraviolent4 made me realize that often it’s about making better decisions, not the best decisions. Again, that may not be for everyone, but it was helpful for me at least.
Roguelikes are like beer. Often times you have to find one you like to get a taste for them. That said, beer is also not for everyone :).
I would absolutely give Necrodancer a pass as well!
I have a love/hate with the Berlin Interpretation. While I certainly prefer my RLs that way, I think some times it gets used to gatekeep excellent RLs kind of on the fringe of the interpretation.
No worries at all! While I personally prefer the more traditional RLs, I know that’s not everyone’s thing.
DCSS is definitely -like. But it’s not terribly hard to grasp and can be an incredibly fun time if you don’t mind failure.
I’ve actually never heard of this one! Definitely worth a look.
Both the Fang and Brave system sound great. Particularly the later since you generally DONT want to fight in the open like that in RLs. What a cool idea!
You have a link? I’d love to check it out.
Rogue Fable is excellent! Definitely a good intro to the Genre for more casual play.
Speaking of, if you like more casual RLs, check out The Ground Gives Way or Path of Achra.
TGGW is a coffee break RL. Meant to be played in small 15-20 min bites. Simple, yet effective.
PoA is a RL almost entirely built on character theory crafting. The actual RL play can be done with 1-2 buttons most of the time. The character and build creation is… a lot lol. But if you’re into theory crafting and build variety its a great time.
“I promise” followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.
