  • The director should have reasons for the difficulty of the game. Celeste is a Perfect example. It’s hard but it lets you learn and allows you to try again easily even if what you are doing is hard. Hard games that punish you and make you walk for 20-30 mins just so you can learn a few new moves the boss does can be incredibly frustrating. Many people who play these games eventually look at videos online to help after multiple tries because just “getting there” is extremely time consuming. A lot of games have normalized looking things up and that is disappointing as someone who would rather figure it out on my own. But wasting 30 mins to be killed in 2-3 hits from multiple stage bosses is not enjoyable IMHO.






  • I can’t tell if you actually have an allergy or just don’t like them. There are a lot of different tomatoes so I’d explore those including Tomatillos if you aren’t allergic. If you are allergic. I’d start looking at persimmons, zucchini, eggplant, maybe peppinos even some more mild apples. Don’t go for “sweet or tart”.


  • I feel like I was the “target” for this movie. Tron’s retro futurism/ cyberpunk style has always been interesting. NIN doing the soundtrack! I’ve listened to it at least 5 times already. Jared Leto? Well I’m not a big fan but he was good recently as a detached psychopath villain in Blade Runner 2049. But is that really a compelling lead? Joachim Ronning directing? Uh oh. A Disney journey man just making the same soulless films. Bottom line is I absolutely despise Disney/Marvel/ new Star wars movies. I don’t trust Disney to do anything remotely new, interesting or meaningful. If they do I consider it a fluke now. I’m assuming this will be like 90% modern Disney movies where they worked on “cgi action scenes” 2 years before they wrote the script and everything will feel like it was scenes pasted together for the trailer advertisments without any interest in world building, plot or characters. Just a bunch of over dramatic dialogue to get to the next “cgi action spectical”. No thanks.









  • They are very different genres. But most likely Daft Punk have danceable music that can be traced back to Chicago house. After disco people stared incorporating synth /electro sound into dance music into the 80s. Chicago house DJ Paul Johnson is the first name mentioned in the Daft Punk song “Teachers”. During the 90’s French house became very big. Searching 90’s or 2000’s French house will get groups close to Daft Punk.


  • 100% go see Air on tour right now. The Moon Safari tour might be the closest thing to peak Daft Punk shows but obviously the chill side of it. Incredible vibes at these shows with amazing stage production.

    Les Digitales Rhymes - Röyksopp is still active - Mirwais Ahmadzaï production - Basement Jaxx - The Avalanches (crazy amount of samples) - Danger - Red snapper (jazzy) - Dead mau5 ( not for me but the certainly took some the daft punk blueprint)

    Of course Justice, Underworld, DJ Shadow, Fatboy slim, chemical brothers, Orbital, LCD Soundsystem
