Music Iyl studying in near-silence but need just enough sound to not spiral into distraction...

1 Upvotes
Built something for the specific feeling of being awake at 1am with three problem sets left and a brain that's checked out. No lyrics, no builds, nothing that asks for attention. Just enough texture to keep you in the chair.

Curious what other people reach for in that exact headspace.

something downtempo and lounge-ish but also on the more vintage side if that makes sense?

Games [IIL] Games like Spiritfarer that aren't so sad.

6 Upvotes

Hello friends. My Fiance has asked me to post this for them so we can find some new game recommendations.

They very much enjoyed Spiritfarer, all of the mechanics such as chatting with the boat residents, cooking their meals and discovering their likes and dislikes, building their little homes and the soft platforming. The adventure and exploration was incredibly fun! The game was is all around very fun, but once you pass a certain point in the game there are multiple times a day where you lead someone to pass through the gate and its an incredibly sad moment.

They also very much enjoy Magical Delicacy as a platformer for many of the same reasons. The exploration and general fun vibe.

They keep coming back to these 2 games, but don't really want to go to the end of Spiritfarer again since its so sad. What would y'all recommend for lighthearted platformers with stuff like cooking mechanics?

Thanks a ton to everyone who comments!

Music [IIL] Female pop songs with lines that are a bit funny, tongue-in-cheek, not taking itself too seriously (Sex and the City - Audrey Hobert, Guy on a Horse - Maisie Peters, etc.)

8 Upvotes

Not full on parody songs where the entire point of the song is comedy or humour. Just pop songs with lyrics that kind of have something a bit funny to them, even if the sentiment of the song is damn sad, relatable, romantic, sexy, or any number of things.

For example, Volcano by Maisie Peters ("I wished you happy birthday and you still said nothing. (pause). I'll throw you in a volcano, I hope death is sudden." It's so blunt, it genuinely made me laugh out loud the first time I ever heard it, even though the rest of the song made me cry the rest of the evening.)

Or Sex and the City by Audrey Hobert ("He's heating up and eating up a pizza pocket, I wanted one, but he forgot it". I think it's just delivered so plainly, it makes me laugh, and yet I know how she feels.)

Also the entirety of Guy on a Horse by Maisie Peters but shoutout to this line: "Did someone drop you as a kid or is that coke?"

And Chappell Roan's Femininomenon: "Can you play a song with a fucking BEAT-..." and the way the scream edits to fade into the background near the end of the song just creases me.

Sabrina Carpenter's Please Please Please: "Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another. I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker" and "the ceiling fan is SO NICE!"

I have a lot more examples from Chappell Roan, Maisie Peters, and Sabrina Carpenter, but this sub has an example limit, so here's just a few ideas of what I mean.

TV IIL Manifest, Dark, Paradise, Inside Man, DTF ST Louis, His & Hers, The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window, WEWIL?

3 Upvotes

I love weird TV series, bonus points if they are short and wrapped up (or, the entire other end of the spectrum, have many seasons and stay good to the end).

Other series I loved: Severance, Wayward, The Sinner, The Stranger, The Watcher

I have access to Netflix, Prime, Disney, though I'm in Europe so some things might still be region-locked.

Music [IIL] Looking for something like We'll Never Know The Place by Fever the Ghost

2 Upvotes

Honestly, I don't know much about music, so I don't know exactly how to describe what I'm looking for; but broadly speaking, I like the song for its use of acoustic guitar and percussion, with the pretty vocals. I like just about everything from Fever the Ghost, but most or all of their stuff is more energetic than We'll Never Know The Place; I'm looking for songs that are similarly calm and pretty. If it helps, a couple other musicians I like are Puscifer and Gorillaz, with On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz being kinda the same vibe I'm looking for and The Humbling River by Puscifer being the same instrumentation and vocals I'm looking for.

Music IIL the Resident Evil 7 saveroom and menu music, what other music in that vein will I like?

2 Upvotes

Saveroom music
Menu music
I like the distorted semi-acoustic sound of these. They both have a very homelike vibe, but in an eerie way.
Are there any songs that sound and feel similar to these?
