Having fun in Slay The Spire 2

I'm getting better at it

Boss put me on a "Performance Improvement Plan" like dude I think this combo makes me perform way more than usual, actually

A glorified vlog, really.

But, if you've done any prior reading, then it *is* a great meta-documentsry of the sort of "I'm just here for the music" behaviour that would entrench itself in—and become the prevalent lens through which to react to—modern dance music culture barely a decade later.

It fails as a documentary on the roots of dubstep as a genre, the blood in the veins of dubstep as a scene, and on the politics behind dubstep as a response to the time it was born in.

This goes doubly for the refusal to even acknowledge the Caribbean musical lineage and the working-class immigrant influence on dubstep - what's left at this point other than a promo reel for the genre of music?

But it becomes genuinely frustrating when the entire aesthetic of the genre and the documentary is skittish B-roll of council housing, yet no word on the sociopolitical landscape that made this so. The context clues are there!! Poking their heads out! Talk on it, please!!

When the surface is scratched, they don't even deign to look at what was underneath *what* they scratched off.

Case in point, it's annoying when Skream talks about the transition from garage nights ("champagne and sunglasses") to dubstep nights (moody, dark, not much dancing) and just moves on.

What I find most interesting is how the interviewees barely talk about anything other than the music, sonically. Every part of the doco is dripping in context clues hints, but the refusal to touch on any of it makes sense when you only see one woman in the entire 100-min runtime.

BASS WEIGHT

About as deep as you would expect a late-2000s documentary on dubstep to be.

Hugging you hard 🫂

Still reeling, dude. What do you mean the tracks before and after this are some of the most evil shit, then you've got this. right here. Insane work.

If I heard this live, the parts between 3:00 and 4:07 would honestly get me bawling my eyes out and hugging my friends for dear life

Nestling this beautiful masterpiece right in the middle of an otherwise insanely hard EP must have felt like God inventing nuts before the nut cracker.

Forgot to post this

If you do it over the course of weeks while you still live in your house, you get to discover in real time what things are most important to you :)
