added both of them, thanks for the heads up. I noticed they weren't being streamed by english casters during the VGJ match and Sn0 found somebody doing it on hitbox but we didn't check further than that lol

AP apparently built a bunch of dagons and threw a game against BP lol, I was cooking and wasn't watching it, but it sounds amazing. Were up really far and fucked around for 30 minutes then lost.

Robot Vice is also streaming, though it's the same game as Moxxi. Reddit says he's supposed to be casting Optic, so it's probably just during the down time between games.

Another caster, but with very low viewers, though he is casting the games no one else is (thundercats vs CES).

Pretty good bundle if you want Paradox games + Pillars of Eternity and Magicka 2. Even get Stellaris for $12.

Man that looks like just unreal value, but I've never been a huge fan of those types of games. I'm sure it's an objectively better purchase than my moenovel/huniesakura/sekai project bundles though.

Would it have been more or less ridiculous if ESL had their exclusivity deal with hitbox?

Do you guys download songs to your phone or use something like spotify? I just put songs on my phone for the first time because I finally found an artist that I really like listening to.
I usually just got on Bandcamp and had a video game ost when I listened to music on the go, which was not often, but for the past two days I've been bobbing down the street because wOOOOO
Also, if you answered yes, show me some songs

I have downloaded songs because I don't have data.

I usually do JRPG opening/closing tracks because they bring back sick memories. And that makes bus rides a lot more enjoyable.

I own and download everything off itunes I have about 50gigs of itunes songs I guess. I also have pandora premium or w/e I use a lot buy if I hear a song I really like I buy it. The reason I download/own songs is because I historically often spent months listening to music all day while fishing without internet. That happens less now days. Have good data coverage almost everywhere its unreal.

I listen to everything from musicals to girly pop (tswift etc etc etc) to other top 100 type stuff (imagine dragons, ed sheeran, etc), soundtracks and occasionally like 2000's era rock that I listened to in highschool. Listen to 70s-80s stuff my dad likes a lot actually when we fish together. Basically everything but hiphop/r&b/rap type stuff. Some kpop but no anime type music just cuz Ive not watched much anime xd.

Edit: On a different note my conclusion is that about 1 in 10 dota games are REALLY satisfying, and further that 5 stacking is the absolute, utter, worst, inconceivably bad way to play dota unless you have an actual team. Its actually awful.

before spotify had a 320kbps option and their library of music was smaller I'd download all my music but not anymore

I prefer to buy music because I like to support my favorite artists. I generally focus on smaller, currently active bands, larger / older bands I usually stream. I mostly buy digital nowadays, but some smaller artists will include little handwritten notes or doodles when you buy physical copies which can be pretty cool. I even had one case where an artist sent me three of his CDs even though I only bought one.

Streaming is still a pretty sensitive topic, especially in a lot of the smaller scale music scenes, because it did so much damage to album sales, but I think most musicians have at this point accepted that they have to adapt to it. It's hard to blame people for paying $10 a month (or just using youtube with adblock, for free) for anything they want instead of $10 per album.

Example note I've received, since I brought it up:

It depends on the genre you like. I have like 70-80 GB of music, hate the idea of spotify. I only have about 30 GB on my phone though.

I really like Sayuri for jpop (she does the ED for Erased, probably her most well known song). She's excellent, but also really, really weird (constantly plays wearing a poncho). Kind of hard to find legally on english sites though.

Some other more recent things I really like :
One of the lowkey weirdest music videos I've ever seen. Anthony Green is more well-known for Saosin and Circa Survive, but some of his solo stuff is excellent as well. The most recent albums of both his bands are excellent, though Saosin is very screamy if you dislike that.

My abosute favorite JRPG tracks are from the Ar Tonelico series - a series where skill at singing literally translates into skill at magic, so it makes sense that they went all out on the songs + vocals. Even if the gameplay in the first and third games are rather weak, the second has one of the best sound tracks and stories I've ever played, though it is basically more anime than anime.

There's really very few genres I don't have SOMETHING of, but reccing 90s post hardcore to people who aren't interested doesn't go well.

ESL is starting to issue DMCAs against twitch streamers, drama is starting. Not sure what they're thinking, as their tournament is almost definitely going to be boycotted by viewers if they actually do succeed at these strong arm tactics.

Correct! ESL is knowingly issuing false DMCAs in the hopes that it drives people to their facebook stream. This came up in October and they basically said "no commercials, no sponsors, then you can cast off dota tv"

I really had no idea facebook is so widely despised by people my age.

Oh god this ESL statement. Have you ever seen someone put themselves up on a cross, pass the mob a bunch of nails, and shout "CRUCIFY ME!!!" Because that's what we're seeing here. Remains to be seen what MOB does.
