hello all

today i was thinking about how much i appreciate learning about my friends... and strangers. it's awesome. sometimes, knowing someone likes the same thing as you is more personal than i am with people i actually talk to.

here's a list of some things i think you all should try. i like these, too, so if you already like them, maybe we would get along.

ah and if you can't try the games, i suggest you see someone else play them, cuz they're all pretty good in my opinion (obviouuusslyyy in my opinion)

music

• by glass animals: life itself, gooey, show pony

• by glass beach: classic j dies and goes to hell part 1, cold weather, cul-de-sac

• by silversun pickups: lazy eye, substitution, panic switch (two time coded song btw)

• by andy shauf: 'jesus, she's a good girl', crushes, your heart

• by two door cinema club: what you know, something good can work, changing of the seasons

• by vertigoaway: VERY COOL, FERNAL IIRNA, russian club

• by samsa: butterflies, anthropocene, haunt me

• by ajj: people, 'getting naked, playing with guns', sorry bro

• by roar: knives for aries, poor grammar, the opposite of flowers

• by black country, new road: mark's theme, across the pond friend, laughing song

visual novels

• milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk/milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk / the great ace attorney chronicles/ace attorney investigations / missed messages/a new life / necrobarista / seekl / 2064: read only memories / bad end theatre / ghost trick

seekl is a dating sim but its really cute and fun 'dating' aside (shout out to a platonic route !?!?!?!?! thats GOOD?), the rest are just general vns

dgrp games

• project: eden's garden / the promise of hope / the uzujigoku massacre

lowk all better than dgrp LAWL. note that TPOH is made by like 2 people while TUM and PJEG have entire teams,,, the english translation also costs money. but it's worth it!!! if you're rus, you don't need to pay, since that's the original language

other games

• mouthwashing/the last one and then another / muse dash / OFF / balatro / portal... if you haven't played it yet. somehow / fears to fathom / risk of rain / threshold / papers, please

a mix of horror, rhythm, and short story games (which are also mostly horror)

IRL TV

• community / brooklyn nine-nine / the good place / severance / agents of shield

mostly sitcom, soz, i don't watch a tonnn of irl tv

anime/manga/other

• haikyuu (a&m) / samurai champloo (a) / houseki no kuni (manga heavy)/ devilman (both crybaby and others) (manga heavy) / paprika (movie) / dandadan (a&m) / kagurabachi (m) / no home (m) / box of light (m) / delicious in dungeon (a&m) / beastars (a&m) / hell's paradise (a&m) / witch hat atelier (m) / look back (movie) / the promised neverland (only watch season one. m) / chainsaw man (manga heavy) / akira (movie) / blue period (manga heavy) / i want to eat your pancreas (manga/movie, technically, but read the novel) / the devil is a part-timer (a) / the girl who leapt through time (movie) / deep sea aquarium magmell (m)

m = manga, a = anime, manga heavy = best to read the manga but the anime is alright/good but not enough, a&m = either works

i know people hate haikyuu but it's life changing once you get to s3 i'm so serious

gl/bl/queer stuff

• doukyuusei -classmates- (heavy on manga but the movie is a classic)/ the girl she was interested in wasn't a girl at all / i hear a sunspot / the summer hikaru died / boy meets maria

• i'd say "all nitro chiral plus" but that'd include togainu. regarding games, honestly, the only BL games i enjoy are sweet pool, dramatical murder (for mizuki), lamento -beyond the void-, and slow damage.

i like slow damage a normal amount, by the way. a lot of people in this community mischaracterize towa and it's really sad. i'll never talk about it, though, so don't worry about that.

note: all of the second category are NSFW games, while all of the first category are mostly sfw/non smut based

that's all, thank you for looking
