Just listening to it now. Never heard it before.

Yes, there's usually a "formal" organized monsterdon, then often the person who does the livestream on https://miru.miyaku.media/ will follow it up with a related film which sleep-deprived stragglers will discuss. This time I believe they are indeed planning to show Grizzly II: Revenge.

thanks, I'm listening now, gonna have to dig out my best headphones!

Dunno much about drone, but I've recently started listening to noise and dark ambient that's sometimes also labeled drone. Any recommendations?
Radio head is like THE indie band everyone knows.
Yeah, but everybody only knows "Creep." (Source: I only know "Creep".)
I feelz ya, fam! I'm totally into sumo and the top-tier matches in Japan start at 3:30am in my time zone.
Anyway, if you want to replicate the Monsterdon experience:
- you can "re-play" the comments for past events here: https://monsterdon-replay.gerlach.dev/
- and find sources for the movies here: https://lemmy.world/search?q=Monsterdon&type=Posts&listingType=All&communityId=2154&page=1&sort=New
C'mon, museums in developing nations still have good stuff, don't shame em.
Aw yeah, if you already know your rolls and breakfalls, Aikido is a great thing to check out. At lower levels, the "attacks" are basically two-person katas, usually involving escaping from grabs. At upper levels they do have something called randori but even then it's all very structured. Aikido gets made fun of sometimes for not having a "live" adversary who's actively trying to beat you. I've read there are some dojos that do competitive Aikido, but I think that's rare.
When someone asks you questions, it's also an opportunity to ask them questions back, to find out if you're heading for an environment you don't wanna be in.
- THEM: Is work/life balance important to you?
- YOU: So, obviously my family's important to me. I always do my job, though. What kind of expectations to you have here?
- THEM: Well.... (look at each other nervously. look up at the cameras monitoring them.) We're expected to make work a priority...
In the martial arts, Tai Chi is the obvious answer.
Consider Aikido. It's generally more like choreographed exercises. A lot of dojos are very understanding of physical constraints. Check with your doctor, it might be good way to gently test your limits. Plus, it's important to know how to fall safely.
Your watch party sounds awesome. Monsterdon is constrained by the twitter-like character limit, so "deeper" conversations can be harder to have. Mostly we do wisecracks, but everybody keeps it positive, if you're going through a hard time it might be good.
