a song i’ve had stuck in my head for ages this year from sovereign tower, an absolute gem of a game i haven’t heard anyone on minnmax even mention yet! beautifully performed by youtube medieval bardcore icon hildegard von blingin's in game cameo character hildy the bard: https://youtu.be/KLDXtRfQfiU

Kyle Brown

Was posting for community songs a specific tier? Bummed to have missed that

MinnMax

Nope, it was in the post looking for community questions for the episode overall.

I went to the zoo in Cape May New Jersey a couple of years ago. It took me a second to realize what I was listening to but in the reptile exhibit they were playing Wood Carving Partita from Symphony of the Night over the speaker. Once I realized I started looking around the room at people to see if I was the only ball knower. No reactions. I did the gamer husband thing of saying to my wife “hey I know this song”. She wasn’t that impressed. Then I thought to myself well maybe that just randomly got looped into a Spotify playlist. But it was no mistake. When the next song came on it was another SOTN track. I salute you Cape May New Jersey Zoo reptile exhibit DJ

Ethon

That castlevania song that Kyle shared absolutely rips

Rockey Liles

What happened to the annual appearances of Emily Reese? I realize it has been a few years at this point but I do miss hearing her for the big music episode.

Duderado

I would love to see a new show plus or charge shot where participants try to create a song in the length of a stream.

Andres

I know everyone hates the copy cat comment deluge when someone does something novel but I would 100% love to see Cohort being challenged to a bet by the audience as long as it stays light hearted trend. That's hysterical and I'm now invested in the outcome and will be checking out the YouTube video once it resolves
