You can pretty much pick up Summoning from any album, they started out metal-focused with their earlier releases like Minas Morgul, so those might not match the “chill” vibe. That said, everything after Dol Guldur starts to lean all the way into Dungeon Synth. Personally, I think the best album to start with is probably Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame, I’ve always felt it was the moment they perfected their sound.
The lowest hanging fruit for recommending here is probably Summoning, that’s about as close to a band who’s entire concept is “Chill Mordor Ambiance”. Alternatively, anything in the Atmospheric-Black Metal to Dungeon Synth pipeline, Ornatorpet, Paysage D’Hiver, or Old Sorcery. You might not find the screechy vocals to your taste, but it has unmatched Atmosphere.
Proof of the value of looking beyond the most base layer of news. You’ll make it easy to be fed a narrative that fits the elites worldview.
Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I’ve been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn’t work perfectly but I’ve made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I’d highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I’ve become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.
so nobody feels ‘trapped’ in an unfun game.
I think this is an understated problem. It’s simply awful to be in a slowly losing multiplayer game that you feel you have no control over, and when you also simultaneously feel that you aren’t playing with people you care about. It’s pretty easy to start not caring about monitoring your behavior. After all, who cares if everyone in this lobby thinks you’re annoying or awful to deal with, you will never see them again, and if you do they won’t recognize you, so act out your frustration without fear of real consequences. I also don’t think bans for “bad behavior” actually address the reason people behave this way, it just encourages them to hide it in more subtle ways that automated scripts can’t detect, or that give them some plausible deniability.
Once a month ideally, I’ve had to cut back a bit recently because of rising costs. I also always try to pick up a shirt or something to support the band.
