Yeah, I keep in touch. I experienced some deprivation as a kid, so as an adult, I pursue interests with glee. Maybe even to my detriment, but overall I think it’s a positive thing to rush toward interesting things.
The flip side is, really draining sometimes, and I push it away in favour of gratification. Could also be a sign of an imbalance in life, if recovering from work-based responsibility doesn’t happen well enough, and it intereferes with personal life responsibilites.
I have two Hori sticks, the RAP4 (modded) and fighting edge unmodded.
Both work great on pc and playstation. Hori at least had a switch stick, but not sure if any more. It was based on the RAP, which is a fine stick, even out of the box.
If you don’t have budget constraints, ordering a custom could work too, since you could get it to work on the switch and ps. I don’t think many sticks support both out of the box.
If you can leave the switch out, Qanba is real nice. Razer sticks are pretty cool too, very heavy and boxy, but I like that. And Hori is a bit more budget friendly.
The Nacon stick with Sanwa parts seems like a good deal too.
Onnittelut on paikallaan, sillä tuotteer on kohtalaisen laadukkaita. Näiltä neljä pakettia hankkineena ei ole tullut katumusta päälle, mutta toisaalta en ehkä enää viidettä menisi hankkimaan.
Archetype sarjan plugarit, varsinkin Petrucci on todella monipuolisia leluja jotka teki kotikitaroinnista aivan ykkösharrastuksen. Saundeja löytyy satoja, on efektejä ja vaikka mitä mukana. Varsinkin jos malttaa black fridayn aikaan ulos puksahtavaa -50% alea vartos, on hinta/laatu oikein kohdillaan.
There a youtube channel and a steam curator called Mortismal Gaming who loves CRPGs. Their shtick is also completing games at 100% before popping a review, and they are churning out new material at an amazing pace. Check it out for some decent coverage on the genre.
As for a maybe hidden gem, Age of Decadence looks pretty good. I have not played it yet, but the genre seems to match, and the premise is solid.
Expedition Rome is well appreciated too, even if it leans more toward tactical battles.
Driving people out because of their past isn’t fruitful. Someone used to have bigoted views but something made them change their mind, and they pushed hard enough to reform their life? Sounds like they wanted it, and are probably a changed person.
I know a few people like this. They help others leave similar situations. Great people doing important work.
https://www.music-map.com/ can help a bit. It knows surprisingly underground bands.
Random browsing on Bandcamp can produce results too.
Depends on how progressive you want to go, as when you are bordering on noise, ambient and other fringe genres, there are lots of bands with little fame.
I have a single album from “Lento” that is pretty cool. Post-rock, powt hardcore, post metal kinds stuff.
Nero Di Marte is on the more extreme side, but flirts with prog.
Oranssi Pazuzu is prog and black metal together. Weird stuff, but good.
And a long time favourite: Circle. Lots of different kinds of albums, most pretty great. Awesome if you can catch them live.
Edit. More stuff and typos
There’s this noiserock/prog group called Fushitsusha. The songs are long, winding and sometimes grinding romps. They have some traditional Japanese elements mixed in as well.
If you don’t know about Mono, go have a listen. Especiall Hymn to the Immortal Wind. Stuff brings tears to my eyes.
Aidon oikeasti en, enkä halua. Talkoohommat joo, tottakai tulee hoidettua tarpeen vaatiessa, mutta naapurit tuntien ei meillä ole mitään yhteistä elämässä. Small talkkia voi harrastaa, mutta ei mulla ole pakottavaa tarvetta tutustua ihmisiin joihin en muuten haluaisi tutustua (kuin naapuruuden perusteella).
