Check out TIC-80, might be a nice first step with a fast return/outcome

European here. Avoiding American stuff wherever possible since a while.

Sneakers, clothing, Linux rather than Windows, tech, ketchup and so forth.

Not sure what the impact will be, if any, but hopefully it will help a bit somehow.

My partner had some similar instances where she discussed selling a niche product and ads popping up all of a sudden while we did not search for it or anything.

Are there any focused ideas on how this is triggered? First thing I thought of was us being listened in to but this is mostly dismissed when I read up online.

Free Stars: the Ur-Quan Masters. 391 reviews on Steam although anyone olders than 45 might have heard of it as Star Control 2.

Totally free and a great (retro) game that holds up well. Sci-fi, exploration (make sure you have something to take notes on) and great lore.

Check out Koxbox - Forever After. Bit different but my all-time favourite psytrance album easily.

Are you new to psytrance?

Correct! Somehow I thought this thread was about games available on Steam. The HD Remaster is great.

Countdown to fascism: X-1

I’ve never been all in on psytrance but definitely into some of the older IM stuff.

Here are some artists/albums that I liked. They could be considered psytrance or have at least made songs in that direction, hope you enjoy.

Atmos - Headcleaner Koxbox - Dragon Tales Koxbox - Forever after Eat Static - Science of the Gods (more psytrancey), Crash and Burn (more eclectic) Juno Reactor - Beyond the infinite (more psytrancey), Shango (more eclectic) Shpongle - Tales of the inexpressible, Museum of Consciousness Texas F*ggott - Petoman’s Peflett Beatport 1 & 2 (compilations)

They are afraid of Russia. And probably a bit indoctrinated as well.

“The gap between EU and NATO support is usually attributed to constitutional neutrality, Kremlin-aligned messaging on security, and lingering caution about being seen as a military bloc member while Transnistria remains unresolved.”

Where is all this Russian propaganda coming from lately?
