Aw, man, that sucks. Unless you love your job, I guess. :P Yeah, Limburg had it bad, too. I'm in Noord-Brabant so no one close to me was affected. They just lifted the state of emergency and said tourists are welcome (what). People are way too eager to "return to normal" over here so now we're dealing with 10k daily infections, too. I only had one vaccine so far but no one is wearing masks anymore. I mean, crazy all around.

Oh, good! Crazy stuff happening around you lately, indeed. Sorry to hear about the workplace. Did you get time off, at least? :P You're right about that, things are rapidly worsening. Depressing to think about.

No, the games weren't killed off by EA. It was a combo of too much competition + poor release windows + not enough attention into keeping new content going + lack of marketing + no dedicated server browsers and more. Then they released DLC but made the mistake of not making it available to all, which split the playerbase. Matchmaking got fucked. They later fixed this, but too late. It's still going, but I bet if I logged in now, it would be the same old people as last time. I had to keep changing my name or they would quit the lobby. TF2, I wasn't too interested in because it was slower and less vertical. Never got into CSGO myself. I'm not in the loop, but EA hasn't done too bad. Even Mass Effect 3's multiplayer is still going almost a decade later (and has a lot more players AFAIK lol). I used to love that thing. But like you said, it's hard to get back and stay. I want to be a noob with other noobs again. It's a ways off, but do lmk how the Zimmer show is if you end up going! :D

Last I heard, TF3 was cancelled due to the popularity of Apex Legends... eugh. So depressing. The first TF was unlike anything else, I played that game so much until the playerbase dwindled. It's a shame you ditched it, or we would have played against each other for sure :P It was always the same people near the end. I still think of that game on a weekly basis. If they ever make a 3rd game and make it more like the first, I will jump on that shit immediately. You seem kinda happy about not having PVP in your life? :P I don't have a dedicated group of gaming buddies or trying new stuff would be more appealing. Well, I watched it last night and I had the same experience! Ngl, I was kinda hoping the space scenes would hit me harder. Instead, all the same stuff annoyed me as last time, but I enjoyed the movie a bit more on a rewatch. Dude, I'd LOVE to see Zimmer live. He's actually performing in Amsterdam next year, but idk if I'll have the cash. Had to shorten this due to char limit lol

They still didn't find him, lowkey impressive. Ah, yes, the BR craze... I keep waiting for it to die down because the concept does nothing for me and it's full of crossover juvenile marketing, which put me off every single one I've seen... at the same time, I might change my tune if I actually tried it, but nah... My PVP cravings could only be satisfied with a Titanfall 3 (RIP). Ever watch Interstellar while high? (Might sound random, but I'm about to, and I'm curious :P).

Ezio's Family used to be one of my favorite tracks. I don't really remember the story, but I still remember the music. I really miss playing online with people, but I'm too out of the loop and don't have time to get hyped about anything. Btw, is this other Jurgen near you? https://www.brusselstimes.com/news/belgium-all-news/170167/tbt-manhunt-for-armed-soldier-large-nature-park-closed-four-anti-tank-weapons-found-jurgen-conings-hoge-kempen-national-park-limburg-police-van-ranst-de-croo-army-ocam/ (link gore courtesy of last.fm).

I quite liked some German shows on Netflix so I was excited when I found out Dutchies made Ares. Figured fucking perfect since most Dutch TV is quite campy, but... holy load of artsy-fartsy elitist crap. If you want to facepalm your way through a show and hate-watch something (sometimes that's an experience, lol), then do give it a try, otherwise... Well, it can't get much worse than that, maybe you have some Belgian show recomms? With the Witcher, I'm not entirely sure now that I think of it... At the very least, there should be subs, though, I'd think...Yeah, I go for English all the time or source language, BUT there are some Dutch terms in TW, so... Maybe they'd at least pronounce Dijkstra properly? It's an odd combination, Slavic and Dutch in one package, but I love it. Been a solid decade since I played AC2 - fuck, getting old - I hardly remember anything. I'm in the middle of a TW3 playthrough already, might check VO options. Are you playing anything?

Yeah, everybody tells me that about Dutch, and I'm considering running with it. But the truth is I'm just lazy. Set up a separate browser for it (poor Vivaldi never gets opened, RIP), grabbed a bunch of books, CDs, categorized everything, never looked at it again. Duolingo is cute, but there's only so many times I can hear 'het schaap heeft een korte staart' before I get bored, lol. I need a dopamine rush to keep going with pretty much anything, sadly. Which is why I'm considering replaying some games with Dutch VO or sth... Btw, how did you like Vokonis (gorgeous artwork)? I almost quit on it because of the vocals but it just gripped me by the end, and Through the Depths is great. I'm tempted to get the vinyl but I shouldn't... If you had to pick, Dutch Geralt, Dutch Celebrimbor, or... Dutch Ezio? Lmao

Mijn Nederlands is slecht, so unless you wanna tutor.. :P I hope you don't mind. My boyfriend is Dutch, but I'm Croatian. Everything is English for me, 24/7. Though there's no excuse tbh, I really should have learned proper sentence forms by now, maybe joined a Dutch-speaking group in a game, or something. And lol, I love that. Here I was thinking "This is an avalanche, this guy must have some pro organized methods." :P I use a separate mail for it, but it's still overwhelming, and I follow way fewer labels. I don't know for after the summer, honestly, if we keep going the way we have and they do that vaccine pass, Eindhoven Metal Meeting is gonna be a 60+ only thing, lmao

Fucking right! Every once in a while, I go to the subreddit, thinking "Surely they compiled that crap into a weekly megathread by now", but no...well, the Discord was nothing like that, at least, when I visited. I had no idea Shreddit even had a server. I might check it out. Joined all these mailing lists on Bandcamp and my inbox is FLOODED with releases. IDK how you do it with that many on yours?? One thing I've recently been doing is just browsing "selling now" on Bandcamp and clicking on interesting covers, lol. I have to spice it up because I kind of get desentisized to the wall of links on Reddit and such, I just stop clicking them altogether. I can already foresee the same with my inbox. Speaking of events, how's the situation where you are? I would love to go pretty much anywhere at the end of the year, but I thought they said they would let only vaccinated people in (? I'm out of the loop) and I have no idea when that's gonna be here for me in NL.

No, I meant more in terms of having conversations, Last.fm was always kind of clunky. Oh, yes, the groups! And the 'friends listening now' feature, I was fond of that. I suppose you meet people through events in common? As for the Discord, no sarcasm, that was more of an understatement, lol. But I couldn't tell you how good it actually is because I found it through the public servers browser, and the preview made it seem..crowded. I wasn't in the mood so I noped outta there. :P They do have a metal section, and I think they're from the r/lastfm subreddit (but it's active and not just "look at my amazing 5x5").

I know, and there's no rhyme or reason as to why they'd do that... it could have been huge if they just kept up with the times a little. I have to use plain text on my profile? Come on. And you used to be able to actually make friends here. Though tbh the chat options have always been clunky on this site... now it's way behind things like Discord. And there, I can see what games and music people are playing at the same time... Did you know they have an unofficial last.fm Discord server? It's quite...lively, lol.

Yes, I've heard of them, and I just realized I had them mixed up with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard this entire time, and have been sort of automatically avoiding them forever, lmfao. Who let all these wizards in here? Maybe a Goat Shaman is up your alley? I like their self-titled song best so far, I think. I'd use the reply button, but this is the good old Last.fm way. :P (I took an 8-year hiatus and they giveth the reply feature, but taketh many better ones away.)

I know! I love the vocalist and the lyrics for Hallucination Rites, especially. Cough is a lot more tortured-sounding than Potion. I do quite like it, though. Oh shit, that sweet ending riff just hit on Crippled Wizard. You made me go through the whole rabbit hole of stoner doom, which is...unexpected. I probably never would have looked it up otherwise. Exciting.

Only stayed in Oslo during my stay, but I hope for my next trip to travel to the other cities. Maybe Bergen, or see the Sverd i fjell in Hafrsfjord. Trondheim would be great to visit as well. In Oslo at least we went to the Viking Ship Museum, Vigeland Museum, took a trip on the fjord, and walked around Akershus Fortress, and some others I can't recall now.

I'm completely in love, as always. Such beautiful music, I can't even choose a favorite song yet. I imagine what a unique experience one of their concerts must be. Looks like you enjoyed it too, huh? :) By the way, I was just listening to Hamferð, Evst does sound very impressive so far.

Oh, me too! I love everything Wardruna has ever released, so I'm really excited about the new album. You checked the new song already, right? I thought it sounds a bit different from their previous stuff, but I'm pleased. I'm not familiar with Hamferð though. Do you recommend something by them?

I don't have a list of those yet, still catching up with a lot of new releases. But I really liked Thy Worshiper's Klechdy. New Katatonia sounds pretty good too, don't know if that one is your kind of thing.

I will ;) we definitely share some of it. I actually had the new Ashbringer on my list to try albums and decided to go ahead with it after seeing it here. I'm impressed, really nice stuff.

Ghost Bath was awesome. I was front row in a crowd of at least 20 people, and you could just feel the emotion in the music. Instrumentals were top-notch, I didn't notice any mistakes, and vocals surprisingly translate well into a live setting, which was the main thing I was worried about. I'd recommend seeing them when you can :)
