I posted this while still going through the party and just found another one. Wither straight up goes
Though art the Saviour of Baldur's Gate....until such time it requires saving again.
And later goes (I will summerize slightly)
I have waited long to tell you these words. It is over....for now.
Sleep, rest, revel. But be ready, For though mayest yet be needed.
They weren't exactly subtle I suppose haha
What prompted me to make this thread was Lae'zel talking about having gained a foothold in the Astral Plane and fighting against Vlaakith. Could be a lot of fun to play and see the story with the Menyar-Ag-Gith she mentioned.
Not my GPU but my friend's. He has nothing but good things to say about it. $600 USD which translates to ~£540, but obviously buying it over there the price might be different .
That is possible, though from my limited experience (2 call centers) companies won't tell Customer Service reps to deny knowledge of something that is public knowledge. They will have some sort of carefully constructed public statement instead. And most reps don't care enough to do anything besides repeat the statement, possibly verbatim.
I've worked adjacent to customer service people in a call center. Honestly, they might not have known. Call centers are frequently terrible about giving their reps news BEFORE customers start calling in about it. Plus, low level call center reps generally aren't exactly star employees and may or may not pay attention when told things.
I am assuming he won't be able to go to bed at a decent time. I wake up at 6:30am most days and I know I couldn't go to bed at 6:30pm. If he woke up at 3pm, it would be a tall order to fall asleep before ~4am I'd figure. Which gives him ~3 hours of sleep.
I can't speak for OP, but some people sleep through alarms if they haven't slept enough. My oldest will legit just sleep through his phone alarm if it has been less than 5 hours since he went to bed. I've just heard his alarm go off in his room for 20 minutes straight before I walk in there and shake him awake. Shit is a problem.
I re-listened to the album last night and I agree that it makes the song more intense. It still makes me uncomfortable, but I don't mind it. This isn't an album I would listen to if I was looking to feel something upbeat and that is OK.
Unrelated but I Don't Like My Mind grew on my when I listened to it by itself and might be in my top 3 tracks when listened to individually.
It was Epic exclusive on PC I believe
Visiting from !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz !
I'm not a huge Alt/Indie music listener, but I do like folk music so when I saw her with Folk Rock as one of her labels on Wikipedia I was excited to check this out. I also really liked the track she co-wrote for Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.
This whole album is so sad for me. I love music that makes me really feel something, but it is rare that the emotion I get out of my music is a deep and genuine sadness. I won't pretend I'm not a pretty emotional guy, but I was surprised when started to tear up during Heaven. I'm a happily married man and the combination of
as I sip on the rest of the coffee you left
a kiss left of you
and
and the dark awaits us all around the corner
but here, in our place we have for the day
can we stay a while and listen for heaven
made me NEED to walk over and hug my wife. Her ex-husband passed away a couple years ago and watching my step-kids deal with that grief made me very aware that seemingly healthy people our age can vanish suddenly.
I also want to mention Star. As far as I can tell it was released as a single the same time as Heaven, so maybe it is appropriate that it is my second favorite song on the album. When it starts to build at ~1:45 and then peaks at ~2:35, I got goosebumps.
I also really liked the hard piano on "When Memories Snow", leading in to the orchestral build. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a good build.
The only take I wasn't super feeling is I Don't Like My Mind, but I think that is just because it is following Heaven which hit me so hard. I was emotionally recovering or something, idk. I will be giving this album another listen in the near future and my opinion may change once I'm no longer gut punched by Heaven.
Last thing to mention is that the dog barking sounds on the back part of I'm Your Man made me genuinely uncomfortable. I don't know why exactly but I disliked it on a very guttural level.
Overall I really liked this album. Not as folky as I had hoped when I Wikipedia's her, but I think that was me setting false expectations for myself. Their was a bit of country going on though which is folk adjacent! Overall the the choral and orchestral pieces on several of the tracks sounded amazing and her lyrics combined with the general vibe of many of the songs had me all in my feelings. I'll have to check out some of her older albums after this if they are anything like this. I need to give it a few days though probably. Partly so I can re-listen to this, but also because I think I can only handle so much sad music in a short period of time.
Yeah, some sort of Karlach+Wyll DLC for seems the most obvious to me from what I've read.
Going to Gale's magic school could be fun too, either as its own DLC or as a little side thing in another one. I'm sure a school full of Wizards could cause some problems that my character could be called in to help solve.
