I'm deaf in one ear and 70db loss in the other, just wanted to say nobody cares what you call it as long as you aren't an asshole about it. Being pediatric helps nobody

Hip-hop can be bland and shallow (like any other genre) but there's lots of unique and interesting music if one takes the time to get into it. Deltron 3030 (self titled) and MF DOOM's MM...FOOD are fantastic on a lyrical and production level

That's the result of Spotify's api, which restricts a lot to just premium users IIRC. Not the dev's fault here

According to the article, more than 2 years. That seems awfully short, and means music from early 2020 is considered old now by these standards.
Re:Microsoft’s Halo Infinite Went from Disaster to Triumph

"BOTTOM LINE - Microsoft wanted to release the latest “Halo” with the new Xbox, but avoided disaster by putting the release off to fix serious issues with the game."
Judging from about 20 hours in the multiplayer (As well as the reviews that have started to roll in), It's a bit early to say they "avoided disaster". There's a lot of glitches and an unbearable amount of server desync on the online front, and many reviews for the campaign cite it being repetitive, with an uninspired story. I'll still check it out to see if the criticisms are accurate or just an over-exaggeration.

It would depend on a high number of factors, wouldn't it? You'd need to consider the possibilities of solipsism and if everything is always loaded in, or if instead things are only in existence when looked at

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I do listen to shoegaze from time to time but didn't know that this was how it was first implemented.
