I love reading books to my five year old son, and the ones that I like the most are the self referential books like “The Stinky Cheese Man”, “True Story of the Three Little Pigs”, “Nibbles the Book Monster” (monster that escapes through flaps and holes cut in the book itself), and things like that!

These games scratch a specific type of itch for me; maybe because they play in such a rare way. There is less emphasis on a set narrative and moreso on dynamic encounters that dont ever play out the same way twice for the player. You fight, lose, make mistakes, have some bad luck, etc. but its your journey and it leads to you improving your odds and becoming a bigger fish in the pond over time

- you aren’t the main character, npcs and their parties roam the world and have just as much agency as you.

Example of unpredictable events and sandbox elements:

- in STALKER, the guy you took a quest from might die in a shootout in a different region of the map, causing you to fail the quest. You now have a reason to fight the faction who inadvertently caused a hit to your reputation. Or on the other hand, someone else may gun down the mutant you were hired to hunt while you were asleep at night which results in an easy payday the next morning without lifting a finger

Example of emergent storytelling and dynamic experiences:

- In Mount & Blade, the enemy lord and his party outnumber you, refuses to let you leave peacefully and sells your whole warband into slavery, and you get dragged around as a POW for days only because you have a poor reputation with him from the time you raided one of his fiefdoms. Or maybe you see two massive armies fighting and you decide to join one side as a mercenary, and fast forward years later you are now second in line to the throne as an avowed vassal

I just really enjoy games like these where the player isnt a plot armored chosen one and other NPCs are inhabiting the world, making things happen without any input, leading to interesting interactions or opportunities. What other games are built like these?

I love everything about this song. But especially the guitar riff, which is so luminous and gentle and hopeful . Any songs with similar instrumentals??

hello!!! i’m looking for more songs/bands/etc with a veeeery specific vibe

time’s arrow by thursday is an all-time favorite song of mine, i love the distortion on the instruments & audio effects, and how it all sounds “dreamy”. the intensity of the vocals is also perf! the lyricism is also so so good

and of course, pretty much the entire OK computer album by radiohead is a fave of mine too. again, the distorted effects and dreamy/trippy style is right up my alley

i do love most emo music so i’m always down for listening to new bands in that genre, especially if they incorporate the type of sounds/vocals as above

thank u!!

Basically any song that feels like this one

https://youtu.be/Fev02vMyF8A?si=5bPZT9b8LdfONtMW

I am in love with this stuff. But I feel like I can't find anything similar to it today.

Everything "edgy" I look for today is genuinely dark and depressing, and inward facing anxiety. When instead, I think I'm looking for a a cathartic and rebellious and aggressive kind of edginess that is surface level. It would be more style than substance.

I am not certain if that is exactly what I'm looking for.

But if anything made today embodies a similar spirit to a Shonen AMV from 2005, I think I'd find it awesome. Or something like the video game Shadow the Hedgehog, or ruthless aggression era WWE.

It can be a game, or any kind of medium. I am specifically interested in games, seeing that new games often don't scratch this itch at all for me.

Here's a link to the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTMk-yK33U

I like the ethereal, and slightly erotic energy of the song. I love how strange and mysterious and frantic it sounds. Are there any songs like it?

Similar song that has scratched this itch is “Whatever Alright” by vianova.

Loved Monarch, and I’ve been slowly going through the DPS discography. Something about this particular flavor of compressed mumbly vocals, interesting beats and down tuned guitars has been super fun.

Started making a tiny playlist of mildly similar songs and I need more. Open to some more experimental or genre bending alt rock/metalcore adjacent music.

I like synthwave in general but Nightcall scratches my brain differently. I think it’s cause the beat is so simple and repetitive that you can fully sink into the scene. I haven’t found that in any other song. These are the closest I’ve found so far:

- MZ - Sacha Funke https://open.spotify.com/track/3jMLZmglAXlcw9c6gUpx3b?si=z8Lw_1_SSrSmBiYKz1U1Tw&utm_source=copy-link

- Palm Of My Hand - ZHU https://open.spotify.com/track/4SdTlyC3TJfxsNetvoVlum?si=pfPJ3r5jROKnrt1RPdJC4g&utm_source=copy-link

- Veridis Quo - Daft Punk https://open.spotify.com/track/2LD2gT7gwAurzdQDQtILds?si=JHknlQjxTje-VrQWosQjdA&utm_source=copy-link

- Da Funk - Daft Punk: https://open.spotify.com/track/0MyY4WcN7DIfbSmp5yej5z?si=d6TnS-8jTJ2FR9olBwIQ5w&utm_source=copy-link

If you haven’t heard any of these they’re absolute bangers. PLEASE I NEED RECS my eardrums are begging for something new!!

This is the link to the song, give it a listen

Most music recommendation algorithms give other bollywood songs but I want something that matches the genre of this song not the industry. Doesn't matter the language, english preffered. Please give some recommendations.

Basically defiant breakup songs lol

I like this genre but I wanna find similar songs/albums/artists to them. Some deftones songs I like is entombed, beauty school and sextape (basic I know). I just really love the mellow sound into the guitar.

For example, I’d like to blend up these songs and find some similar artists:

Any suggestions?

I have read watership down, i listen to rabbitology, and i'm looking for any kind of media that is rabbit-related.

Whether one of the main characters from a show/book is a rabbit, whether rabbit is mentioned in a band's name, song name or lyrics, anything.

Hello everyone.

In 1981 a band called "Disciplina Kičme" was formed in the serbian (then yugoslavian) town of belgrade, in the beginning the band consisted of only two members, Bassist and Vocalist Dušan Kojić and drummer Srđan "Žika" Todorović, with this lineup the band would record the albums "Sviđa mi se da ti nebude prijatno" and the album (which on some tracks would even feature a brass section) "Ja imam šarene oći", these two are my most favourite albums by them and i have not yet managed to find anything else similar to them, so, does any one have any tips?

This music is from the extras disc of the "Episode II - Attack of the Clones" DVD, youtube video below @ 3:13:20 (3 hours, 13 minutes, 20 seconds).

I love the bouncy fun early 2000s techno groove it has going on. Are there any EDM artists that have a similar fun vibe? Preferably instrumental music, no vocalist.

Hunting around, I did find the stock music artist's name: James Kalamasz (song name: Afro Fusion) - but he's truly a stock music dude, nothing else sounds the same. He seems to just crank out tunes in a huge variety of genres - rock, folk, country, smooth jazz, etc.

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1kPiYz42y640s0JW42xQ7z

what the title says, i want songs that are similar in nature to these song, kinda sensual if u catch my drift

I just want to find the same type of songs such as "polvere di stelle" and "travolti"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbg7MFBRQm0

Obviously not this band but music with pianos like that

been playing the later nipsey albums on repeat lately. been a while since i’ve been on a hip hop vibe. also been vibing with some j. stone and cuzzy capone. the rules say you need to add why you like it so i would say because it’s super G, real, and also beautiful in it’s way and potent.

do you have more for me? :) thanks!
