While I’m familiar with the east coast and have visited some older structures and monuments there, it still leaves me in awe. I’m from the new new world so even our historic buildings are maybe a century and a half in age. Maybe. Indigenous structures didn’t survive for the most part.

What’s also fascinating is how people can be incredibly blasé about a 500 year old building they drive past on their way to work every day. Incredible.

Neat. Europe having so much history is bizarre to me. I can’t fathom living in and walking amongst buildings that are multiple centuries old.

• Creepy ambiance (maybe 2 vibes, one there’s eerie/builds tension and one that’s like gothic horror ambiance)
• Swamp ambiance (similar to creepy but more of a nature swamp vibe)
• Sea shanties/pirate ambiance
• Traveling music (think bardcore road trip)
• Fire and flames (like a forest fire maybe with music backing, works for Avernus, towns burning down, actual forest fire)
• holy ambiance (sounds like I dunno…cleric-y? Like at a cleric’s holy site)
• I don’t know what to title this but library/courthouse/university music ambiance. Like, something that would play in a big library, or when addressing the town council/magistrate/king, or when at a wizard university. Kind of serious and official sounding, does that make sense? -Bandit hideout music (also works for breaking into keeps, guard sheds or even like town guard breakrooms, really anywhere where the rough sorts hang out)
• time limit/tense music for time dependent scenes (bomb going to explode, going to be discovered, outrunning a natural disaster, etc)
• sneaking around music
• Boss music different from regular battle music

That’s all I can think of right now but I may edit with more suggestions. Where do you get your open license music and stuff?

When it was in print I used to read it every day at work since it was in the break room and this was before I had a smart phone (they were around, I just didn’t have one). I miss it, I always preferred it over the Seattle Times though I couldn’t tell you what about it was preferable.

Yeah they’re: “Quiet down now. It is time to watch the show, yes it’s started, don’t be lickin’ me no mo’, matter 'fact could you get me a handiwiiiiiiipe?”

So does the US on the West Coast.

The committee recently pulled the plug on the Anthropocene unfortunately. It was never official and they just rejected it this year.

Ahhhhhhhhhh

My two nearest local papers are run by one company (I think) and their tech people are savvy as fuck. None of these paywall bypass sites work more than once, EVER. Archive doesn’t even work.

Aw, Rickie

You guys don’t have Value Village/Savers?

To be honest it’s still a crapshoot of SEO bs.

Aw sad I was just talking about him the other day.

This makes so much sense, is there any evidence? I don’t want to spread the rumor as a fun fact unless there’s something behind it. Very fun idea!

There should be!
