So here's the MH Wilds "Baby" Seikret plush (MacBook Pro 14" for scale... if you could even see it...)

Also came with the tote bag and the small pouch, though I think the original set from e-Capcom came with the steelbook instead of the tote.

been a bit and after getting MH Wilds to the point that I feel (mostly?) satisfied with the balance of graphics & performance, honestly it's fine, just kinda sad playing through low rank alone because I got into MH playing World & Rise with my friends & having fun. At least my hunter is still hot 😊

Flashmods are cool and all but there's a certain charm to hearing the quiet whirring of my iPod 3rd gen's hard drive whenever I take my earphones off

(I have a flashmodded 7th gen for daily use but honestly this clunky thing is way more fun...)

It's running better than I expected (so far), though I do have to play on Medium with upscaling. Seems like I could also swap over to High but I'll have to use the more aggressive Ultra Performance DLSS... My hunter looks great in cutscenes at least

Folk/Pagan Metal

Compilation of the songs of the 4 band members' characters and 1 song to tie them together. Der Glänzende (Skjómi's) song is a banger, and I love how much of a badass Trygve is described in Wächter des Turms. The title track's really fun too.

They've always been good at making either songs that sound like anime openings or songs that are a vibe and I'd say it's half and half on this one. I love the relationship angst entwined with geographical references on Point,Nemo in particular.

Good, enjoyable debut with epic orchestral and fantasy elements. Was a bit surprised as well that all the hype I saw for this on Twitter was from Japan

this is such a weird framerate for a youtube video

I think I did pretty well with metal concerts last 2024 for someone who has to travel out of my country just to see the metal that I like
January 8, 2025 at 10:29 AM
2024 music listening history thanks to good ol last.fm

My top artists are definitely from the first two concerts I saw this year, plus Brymir. I'm expecting early this 2025 to be very much affected by all the new folk metal bands I saw in the festival.

All for Metal - So is there endless mead in Valhalla so that you can get so drunk? I normally don’t enjoy them but many beers in, with everyone’s hype, and with big muscular Tetzel they really sold me (live at least). They have costumes, dancers, and pyro and it’s a pretty good time

TDSOTM - mostly I watched them because I am a big fan of Hans but I honestly did like the energy of their performance and their lead singer, I just don’t really listen to the fandom stuff they have like the Harry Potter and the Hunger Games songs but honestly I found them enjoyable live

Majestica - fitting name, I love you Tommy Johansson
December 29, 2024 at 6:43 PM
I skipped the Victorius set unfortunately but I made up for it by chatting up Matt from Fellowship and Hans von TDSOTM und Feuerschwanz, and getting a photo with Induction!
December 29, 2024 at 6:35 PM
Induction - it's my second time seeing them and i loved their new lineup. i'm still jealous of Tim for being so talented and hot at my age

oh also I COULD SEE THEM this time since i was in front instead of in narnia like in the japan show
December 29, 2024 at 6:35 PM
Fellowship - I didn't know how much I needed Matthew Corry to convince me to sing "I've always been worthy" and believe it about myself
December 29, 2024 at 3:46 PM
Terra Atlantica - okay ngl I prefer steampunk pirates and atlantis to alestorm
December 29, 2024 at 2:45 PM
Tales of Ratatösk - SQUIRREL! He had a name and even joined the circle pit but i forgot the name 🥺
December 29, 2024 at 2:45 PM
Bloodspot - nothing like thrash metal to get the blood pumping for the start of the afternoon, love how their lead singer just keeps moving and stepping close to the audience, even right in front of me at some point
December 29, 2024 at 2:45 PM
Gloryhammer- I could die happy, I finally got to see Sozos sing Questlords live last night. And on my way out a very nice person gave me his setlist 😭
December 29, 2024 at 7:18 AM
Hiraes - admittedly I took a break from standing all afternoon here but what I can appreciate are 1. female growls and 2. their set sounded pretty seamless into each next track
December 28, 2024 at 8:51 PM
Vanaheim - when it comes to me, combining violin and throat singing in one metal band is like a cheat code to me liking it
December 28, 2024 at 6:25 PM
Kambrium - yeah I dunno why I slept on a symphonic power/melodeath band when this shit is literally up my alley
