I've been having the same issue on Pop!_OS.

Spelunky 2 - $20. One of my all time favorites here. Over 200 hours in, don't regret any of them. I could easily double my playtime without seeing everything.

Dark Souls 1 - $30(?). Back in my teen years on the 360 I bought Dark Souls without knowing anything about it. I played through it with a buddy, passing the controller on death, and we had a blast. That first run transcends money for me, I would pay anything to keep that memory. Recently that same buddy and I replayed the game together and are now reworking our way through the series.

Racingmaybe - $3. This game is amazing. It's a turn based drag racing game with an upgrade system. This is the best driving game I have ever played, far and away. It's a hobby project by a solo developer. At it's $3 price point this game is well worth the money. Seriously, if you're reading this, buy it. Or drop your Steam name and I will gift it to you.

Mount & Blade: Warband - $20. This game is really starting to show its age but I still love it. Endless mod potential gives it tons of replayability.

I could go on forever but these ones came to mind first.

I watched the whole video trying to keep an open mind, but what they showed off just looks so generic. Quick time events, very basic looking fps mechanics, flight looks like War Thunder arcade battles. At least the gfx and animations looked pretty cool, although imo this is the least important factor of a good video game. Will probably be a skip for me, if it ever releases that is.

Cool track, thanks for sharing.

I use Sayonara. Not my screnshot, I usually have the spectogram open on the left cause I think it looks cool lol. Sometimes I use VLC if I just want to listen to a particular thing quickly.

On mobile I usually use Gelli to stream my music library from my Jellyfin server on my desktop.

Personal Thoughts

Too Many Zooz was recommended to me yesterday by @[email protected]. I selected their first EP, F NOTE, and it was a really fun listen. Something straight out of a street performance that makes you feel bad for not carrying cash around anymore. Pellegrino sounds fantastic on baritone sax, and Muirhead equally good on trumpet. My favorite track was Get Busy.

Personal Note

I'm getting married on the 29th, my fiancée and I have been quite busy with the final preperations which is why I'm selecting such short EPs and missing days. Thanks to all for reading and for the recommendations, I will get around to all of them.

I'm interested to check out more of their work because it seems like fans were pretty split on this one. Some said they didn't like the covers as much as their original works.

In an attempt to broaden my horizons I will be listening to an album I have never heard before every day for the next 100 days. I thought it would be fun to post some information about the album alongside my personal thoughts on it. Maybe you can use these threads to discover new music, too. Or if you're familiar with a day's album, maybe you can share your thoughts and recommendations.

[1968] Electric Mud by Muddy Waters

  • I Just Want To Make Love To You
  • Hoochie Coochie Man

Fun Facts

The guitar in this album is played by Pete Cosey. Cosey played with a wide range of artists over his multi-decade career.

This album features remakes and reimaginings of some of Muddy Waters' earlier acoustic songs, and a cover of Let's Spend The Night Together by The Rolling Stones.

The album recieved mixed reviews from fans and critics.

Personal Thoughts

I don't know what to say about this album, it's not that it's a bad piece, it isn't, I guess I just prefer the older versions of these songs. Cosey does an amazing job on guitar, and Waters' vocals sound great, I guess it's just a personal preference. Despite this my favorite track was I Just Want To Make Love To You.

Any big fans of Muddy Waters in here? What do you think about these songs compared to the originals?
