Interestingly, no music for most of the game also helps the Souls games. Someone here also comments on this: "One thing that lends to the dreamlike atmosphere of the game...lack of music. The somber feeling this game gives me would pretty much collapse if there was a pervasive score."

Similar statement from a reviewer about Tomb Raider 1:
"I actually feel playing Tomb Raider 1 with sound effects only might be one of the most immersive ways to experience the game."

Twitter now requires users to sign in to view tweets.
(From what I'm reading it's because of scraper bots, it's supposed to be temporarily, and for a few days there used to be just limits for unregistered users not a full block.)

Crazy how good platforms like Twitter and Reddit change over a period of time

I just ran into a deleted Imgur image on the front page of a site: https://www.midomi.com/
Apparently their front page did not get enough views, and they didn't upload the image with an account either.

I also wonder why do they even host their button image (logo) on Imgur.
All other images are on their own domain.

Given their excitement about it, I'm now slightly interested in seeing the film, where I wasn't at all after seeing the trailer a while back.

So... Campea has 'cancelled' his own show (and is going audio-only). I still watched his channel, but had started skipping a lot of content because of Rob (Robert Meyer Burnett) no longer being there.

The show returned after only a couple of days (if not less), and I see that even Rob has returned - one day a week, according to someone in the comments.
