Largely prioritize production for every game type, always get the mausoleum wonder; great engineers are OP for every victory type.

Aside from that, Hercules and Himiko are far and away the best heroes, and controlling city-states is crucial.

If you listen to any of them and have thoughts you want to express, feel free to let me know! I basically always love any excuse to talk about or listen to people talking about music I like.

This probably isn’t what you mean, but I usually only make like, 3 or 4 military units in Civ 6 and play entirely peaceful, zero war games. And yes I play on deity difficult

Dunno if I go actively searching for difficult music, so I may not have the best answer for that specifically, but here are 5 albums I consider hidden gems or underappreciated:

Horse Bitch - RIP Pistachio

Tattle Tale - Sew True

Gaytheist - The Mustache Stays

Codefendants - This Is Crime Wave

Irist - Gloria (actually an EP, if you’ll allow it).

These probably won’t take you 5+ listens to appreciate, but I do think they’re smaller releases worthy of greater attention. Hopefully that’s close enough for you. ✌️

Understandable, except you forget that you and I are in fact different people with it sounds like radically different listening habits. Cheers ✌️

I have no kids, no pets, and a job where I can listen to music the entirety of my shifts while working. I have music on in some capacity probably an average of 12 hours a day. 4 albums a week, even when listening to them each 6 six times, is a fraction of my listening.

Music listening is my primary “hobby” and interest.

I truly wonder where in my post I implied that I am drawing significant conclusions without giving something a good few listens. Again, I think you are making assumptions of my listening habits based on severly limited information presented to you.

This is making some significant assumptions, don’t you think? That I sample the buffet does not mean that I don’t also cherish and return to familiar recipes.

The game is fun, but it’s now a solo game where you occasionally team up non-socially with strangers to knock out goals, rather than being the massively social game it once was. Unfortunately I think those days are over forever.

…are people really paying for a music subscription service to listen to the same music on repeat? I pay a service because I listen to like at least 4 new albums every week, minimum.

I will never understand why that person thinks Lemmy should be moderated like Reddit. Reddit’s moderation policy was at the behest of advertisers; we have no such masters to answer to here.

I have thousands of hours in Civ 6, but Civ 7 has Denuvo, so Civ 7 isn’t even in consideration for me. I bet I’m not the only one. I’m sure the game has plenty of other issues, but Denuvo is such a non-starter

I’ve come to the conclusion that 3.5e was the peak of TTRPG and frankly I’ve just decided I’m going to go back to that. It’s not like there isn’t plenty of 3.5e materials to use.

That’s awesome! I’m so glad I could help in my minor way to raise money for a good cause! Thanks for the follow-up reply, I appreciate knowing 😁👍

Glad to help! I wasn’t kidding when I said I basically always enjoy getting to talk about music 😅

I’m about to go on a trip so I only have a brief moment to answer this, I’m sorry, but here are some quick picks without having more context to go on:

fairly obvious:

1979 by Smashing Pumpkins

Ain’t It Fun by Paramore

Raspberry Beret by Prince

Meant to Live by Switchfoot

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean

Stop by the Spice Girls

Super Bass by Nicki Minaj

I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness

Here It Goes Again by OK Go

Electric Feel by MGMT

less obvious:

Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash

All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo

Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks

Maniac by Conan Gray

Closer by Tegan and Sara

I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc

Disco Man by Remi Wolf

Them Changes by Thundercat

Cocoa Butter Kisses by Chance the Rapper

Swing Life Away by Rise Against.

I tried to not give you anything too obscure, but if these are too obvious or if you have a theme or direction to narrow the field I can think on it more and get back to you in a few days, probably.

edit:

I didn’t think too much about the first 10 seconds part admittedly again due to limited time, so some of these may be better to play 10 seconds a later section of the song if you’re open to that.

Yes, reddit admins are famously shit and famously have the most skewed priorities in history, but that still doesn’t make this cherry-picked example a good representation of reddit as a whole.

Painting the whole of reddit based on the actions of a single non-admin moderator on a religious subreddit of all things feels dishonest as hell, tbh.

Look man, you can say potato means underwear all you want, but if you start saying you’re wearing potato under your pants people are going to look at you weird. You are not the only party involved in communication, and thus your preferences are only part of the equation, and people will interpret and process your words based on conventions, not just your personal thoughts on the matter.
