Wonderful, Relaxing Game

A friend suggested Stardew Valley to me because I love the Harvest Moon game series. I was hooked in right away. I chose my farm (you can choose from five different farms) and went from there. It was very easy to get into and the characters in the game are interesting. It is so clear where the nods to Harvest Moon are, but it is also its own thing too. I love that I don't have to just farm, I can fight monsters in the mines, or go fishing. You can make friends with the villagers and you can romance the available love interest of your choice. I also loved the festival days you can attend in the game because they are so much fun. I just wish the days weren't 24 hours, because they go by very quickly and sometimes it feels like there isn't enough time to do everything. It definitely makes you plan out your days however, so you have to think carefully about what you want to do and who you want to romance. I'm on my second playthrough of the game with a different farm and I'm still enjoying it and having so much fun with it. Stardew Valley is a great chill out game that offers a lot of fun.

Hayden James is a producer and Naations is an LA-based Australian duo. Not too long ago, they released a super-hot dance tune, entitled, “Nowhere to Go”.

The retro-filmstrip footage follows the empowering Venice-based all-women skate crew, GRLSWIRL, down the California Coast. Also, it follows them as they go from piling into a ’70s-style camper van to effortlessly skating the back-streets of Venice.

‘Nowhere To Go’ highlights Hayden and Nicky Night Time’s abilities to produce tracks which are club-ready and radio-friendly.

The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and lush instrumentation flavored with dance, EDM, and electro-pop elements.

Also, it displays Nat Dunn’s powerful vocal performance and songwriting talents.

Naations are responsible for the huge Ibiza 2017 anthem, entitled, “Real Life”, with Gorgon City & Duke Dumont.

Not too long ago, they released their debut EP, entitled, “Teardrop”. The 6-track project serves as an introduction to the duo’s teardrop and star concept, which represents the light and the dark, which inspired their creative process.

They have performed at notable music venues on both sides of the Atlantic, including New York’s Output as well as Brixton Academy and XOYO in London. Also, they made their CRSSD Festival debut alongside Hayden, before heading back to Australia to support British songstress Anne-Marie on the AU leg of her tour.

Movie Rating Watch

As the end credits rolled I sat back and contemplated what I had just witnessed – this was the most fucked up piece of cinema I’d seen in some time. Burdened by a horrific tragedy Dani (Florence Pugh) turns to boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) for support, who is unsure himself that their relationship can continue.

Joining a small group of friends they head off to Sweden to attend a mid-summer festival in the hope of rekindling their dying relationship.

The film is disturbing on almost every level and does take time to get going as the group is introduced to an idyllic community where not everything is as it seems. Director Ari Aster has made no illusions of his dislike for jump scares – and you won’t find too many here, well, maybe one. But this is a new age break-up film, not an out an out horror as many people might have expected.

But how do you turn a mild mannered community such as the Harga, into a sinister cult, justifying their ways via ritualistic events and ancient scripture – easy, you do it slowly. Aster builds the story well, introducing subtle clues to the foreboding which is inevitably coming. When it comes, it is a tour de force of shock value.

It’s a solid follow up for Aster whose feature length debut, Hereditary, split audiences – but there is no denying that he has upped his game significantly.
