Check out the #MetalheadsPodcast fav albums in Sept! I locked in The Ecstasy of Death by #Offernat on 9/13, 2 days after it dropped. Don’t think I’ve ever picked an AotM that early, but sometime an LP comes along that completely absorbs me; that makes me feel tethered to old memories and the moment.
Dusted off my #wiiu early this year to complete all the #videogames I never got around to. Just finished #zeldabreathofthewild (+ most of the side quests) and I think it might be my favorite game ever. ⚔️❤️ @nintendousa.bsky.social #nintendo #thelegendofzeldabreatheofthewild
