These are most definitely not in any order, because I refuse to pit 9 elites against one another. I love them all equally and for different reasons, but they instilled a life long love of gaming in me. Honorable mention to Final Fantasy 7, but these got the most playtime so they got on the chart.

Cover art for the following video games: Tales of Symphonia, Pokemon Blue Version, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Starfox 64, Kingdom Hearts, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Megaman Zero 2, Phantasy Stare Online.

Spending my evening writing synth and keyboard lines for new Threnodist material. This is some deeply sad stuff, but we live in some deeply sad times. I love all y'all. We only have each other.

Instead of browbeating frustrated trans people online you should be bird-dogging the transphobic democrats IRL.

weareruen.bandcamp.com/album/the-tr... Shawn from Archaic Earth turned me on to this band and record a few days ago and it's been on constant repeat for me ever since. Folk-punk with traces of doom, post-metal, and screamo. The melodies and vocals are so good, and the lyrics are fantastic.

Re-watching through Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and this show never fails to deliver an emotional gut punch from time to time that has both me and my partner welling up in tears, no matter how many times we've seen it. Great writing and acting. Sisko and Odo are all-time favorites for me.

Inject this directly into my veins. This RIFFS. The melodies are huge, the vocals are great. The piano and synth work are fantastic and create lovely textures. The guitar tone is meaty but clear, and the production is excellent. It's everything I'd want in a new melodic death metal record.

What video game changed your life? Tales of Symphonia is also my answer. I had played other J/RPGs but something about this was different. It hooked me emotionally in the way some of the other games I had played til that point hadn't. ToS is always gonna be my GOAT. SO many playthroughs...

If you have never seen Amorphis live - don't miss that upcoming tour. They are lifechangingly good live. I have had fortune to see them touring for both Red Cloud as well as QoT. The Red Cloud tour was how I met one of my closest friends (the ex-bassist for Threnodist) and cherish that gig deeply.

I want to add that Dolly wrote this song less than a decade after eugenicist Harry M. Caudill's Night Comes to the Cumberlands was published, pathologizing Appalachia during the country's "War on poverty." That "Despite your contempt, the things I love are worth loving" part runs DEEP.

Dolly very intentionally fostered kindness, natural curiosity, and care for the well being of others. She pushed for deliberately being the version of yourself you most wanted to be. And never shaming another for whatever their best self looked like. That is the legacy we have to honor.

The soundtrack for the original Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast/Gamecube has had more of an influence on me compositionally than I realized. Kobeyashi and Kumetami knocked it out of the fucking park with that game and the lonely, desperate vibe in a lot of its overworld/combat music. It's eerie.

It's a stylistic continuation of the first Fall of the Leafe record, "Evanescent, Everfading." A lot of this was written back then, too. Excellent Melodic death/black type stuff.

It's all subjective to taste, but my favorite three album run is probably Damage Done, Character, Fiction by Dark Tranquillity. Then again, I'm a raging DT superfan so - bias. The first three Emma Ruth Rundle albums, first three Agalloch albums, and last three Draconian albums also do it for me.

Fire In The Mountains was full of excellent moments. One of the greatest highs in a weekend full of them was getting to spend some time with @neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social and his wife (she's real!) They're such lovely folks. PS: Thanks for signing my @eveale.bsky.social CD, Steve! GREAT album ❤️

Some beautiful people who all make music. Some of them are in Threnodist, some of them are in Am I In Trouble? and Eveale.

metalstorm.net/events/news_... This is a real blow to death/doom and metal as a whole. Dismantling Devotion is one of the greatest extreme music albums in the past 20 years. I'd put it in my personal top 5 for sure, especially if you're into doomier things. Thanks for the memories and music. 💜

A few words of advice if you are in band: - all money coming into the band should go into one account that is not owned & accessible only by a single member of the band. That money should only be used for band expenses - If the band raises money for charity, donations, etc: RECEIPTS & TRANSPARENCY

The album rules. Great riffs and melodies, great vocals (clean and harsh,) killer stuff. Alex and Steve absolutely wrote bangers here. It's more important than ever to support physical media in an age of increasing digital impermanence - so get a copy of some excellent black metal while you can.
