pretending the concept of crop rotating for Cabal Coffers doesn't exist so I can build my Erinis + Halaster deck in a way where it's not quite as boring to look at, play, play against, etc. chase cards ruin everything, I wanna play against people who like crappy uncommons as much as I do

check this, tracker music split
don't pretend you can't take this kind of music cos i already know you like midi lol -
trying to stop my tastes just being "Old stuff is good" and its a hard trend to kick
and it makes you like auto-problematic to say yr fave games are late 80s early 90s, yr fave music and films are late 70s early 80s cos um
that's the painful trigger-y silver eraand you have to spend like an hour reframing and justifying that to make it not seem suspicious lol
i checked out so much music this year but I noticed that all my faves from it were either by ancient bands or in revival-mode ancient styles (post-punk and goth rock is magically big this year ++++ Gospel going prog?) and I feel like Napalm Death are literally as good as they've ever been... bands and artists big with music sites right now are doing singer-songwriter stuff I can't sit through or else very eclectic hip-hop I can't get a handle on (I like Solange, Little Simz, Danny Brown? but I will never be a true head in this field the way someone who grew up with the music would be)... when bands like Spoon and PUP and Big Thief get so much attention it makes me wonder what I'm missing, I will never get into that. also I feel like a lot of the relatively successful extreme metal right now is not crusty enough? it feels even more nerdy than I am??? like the last 1% of punk influence drained out and got replaced by 18 minute long Clean Harmonic Picking Tips vids????? UK post-metal sounds glossier than a Take That album now???????? that said, Cloud Rat have an excellent albumkinda fascinated with The Garden who seem like they're brewing something exciting. would like Death Grips to release something again. i'm such an old prog and goth and industrial head but I wanna get optimistic about new music again but it has to be like... NEW music, by people younger than I am who don't wanna retread anything or pay respects to older generations or whatever... I like punk but the last pathetic bastion of punkness is in genre categorization aka "we're technically punk because we're where RYM puts us but we can't surprise you or fuck anything up because we already spent too long learning how to do this particular style"... i was pretty excited about IDLES's song "Samaritans" and then uh all that energy went in the wrong direction. there's some bands you wish hadn't heard death grips. giggle
same with DOOM imo. I don't wanna play stuff that pays reverence due to scythe.wad etc. the old classics rule but if they anchor you they are hard one star wads not recommended for anyone

"I don't wanna play stuff that pays reverence due to scythe.wad"
I feel this but, realistically, it's what it takes for 99% of people to play your stuff. They want to play it safe, they want to make sure their time won't be 'wasted' and, to them, the best indicator of this is a clear reference to something they already enjoyed. I liked the old stuff, I'll most likely enjoy this 'new' stuff. Hoi polloi love anchors.
It's a sad game but you have to play it if you don't want to drown. My two cents.
