This article has a pretty negative slant, but is anyone actually sad they're going? I've been playing on and off since 2014, and I never have enough shards. My friends that have played almost nonstop since launch constantly have more than they could ever spend, even if they masterworked every piece of gear in their collection. Seems like a good change, honestly.

Wouldn't it be constantly fluctuating between speeds one or two numbers apart? Unless your foot is magic or you're in cruise control, lol. I feel like it could be distracting.

I know it's not the most original choice, but I'm sticking to my guns: One Headlight is the best driving song you could ask for.

Are we doing 90s ballads? I'm down.

It's been a long December and there's reason to believe/ Maybe this year will be better than the last/ I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself/ To hold on to these moments as they pass

Second choices:

  • "Somewhere Along the Way," Dawes
  • "Sedona," Houndmouth

Johnny would be proud. 😎

Clairo's Sofia is a catchy song and a sweet romance.

I liked Simulation Theory as is, but the extended version has a lot of cool experiments like this that, imo, actually work better than the originals. The Gospel version of Dig Down is very cool, and the acoustic cover of Something Human is lovely.

This is one of my favorite songs ever written!

I understand that Beth delayed the review codes, but I don't quite understand why. The subtext of this article seems to suggest that they expect higher reviews from other outlets. Is that the case?

Three people come to mind right away:

Lauren Mayberry for Chvrches

Karen O for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

And while she's not an alt artist per se, this is a cover of an alternative song, so I'mma post it anyway, lol. I love Brandi and Catherine Carlile's version of Closer to Fine

If you're okay with paying a subscription, SiriusXM's Alt Nation is the main one I listen to.

While that's true, what's illegitimate is when the idiots set up bots to spam negative reviews, like what happened with Captain Marvel and Last Jedi. A person with a negative opinion is fine. A bot spamming the same negative reviews again and again in order to artificially bring down the score? Not fine.

I'm not saying that's what happened here, but reviewing bombing generally consists of more than a group of angry people writing honest reviews.
