fwiw pretty sure your post was duplicated over on fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com earlier today and there's a little bit of discussion over there too including comments in support of points you made. idk why that person jumps to calling troll given you even mentioned a specific community you were posting in, even without initially knowing your username it was very easy for me to see that you have been regularly active in there for a year at least.

immensely enjoying Obstacles off this, cheers!

agreed, a really joyful cast with great chemistry, and a very uplifting finale.

i have found the genre/subgenre descriptions on RateYourMusic quite handy, when clicking through there is usually a bunch of example albums and/or curated lists, it's been really helpful for when i just start dipping my toes into something but don't know much about it.

apparently it's a tie between Exuviæ by Rendez Vous and DTLA by Mareux

yep that's very fair! i just think options are nice to have either way, i don't think it's great to lock people into first person considering motion sickness is so common.

not that i mind third-person at all but even among my little group of irl resi fans there were people (not just me) excited about the first-person pov in the trailer. oh well, still interested to see how it goes!

i can try to draw something but a) i am shit at drawing and b) it might take me a while to figure something out because of a).

edited to add: just an idea but maybe the banner could be a monthly community thing? like if people have nice/fun photos they have taken around the motu, or relevant art they have made, pop it into a monthly pinned thread to choose the banner for the following month?
