Hello! I am a newly graduated musician. I am trying to write new music, but i constantly get stuck in the same place.

I always try to create music with elaborate chord progressions because i really like playing songs like that.

For example Les Champs-Elysée by Joe Dassin, Nobody knows when you're down and out, or the jazz classic All of Me

But i constantly get stuck in making progressions that loop nicely, and then making a few alternate progressions for bridges and choruses.

I dont like making simple 3-4 chord pop progressions because i dont find them enjoyable to play.

I find myself constantly stuck in the same loop, where i make a nice progression, but dont know how to continue. How can i break this cycle?

My last song attempt had a chord progression that went from E -> E7/D -> A/C# -> Am -> E, in the key of E, or Am (im not sure yet) which isnt that elaborate but it sounds nice.

Finska man här! Jag har släktingar i Sverige så jag vill lära mig svenska. Min kompisar säger att bästa sattet för lära svenska är lyssna på svensk språk.

Så vad är bra svensk podcaster med vanlig tala så jag kan lära vanlig svenska?

Finsk skolan svenska är dålig, ni kan säkert se från mig svenska. Jag var tvungen att använda google translator för 75% av det här meddelande

So a bit of context, in my campaign one of my players fucked with an unknowingly ancient forest spirit / deity. The deity then demonstrated that it could wipe the floor with the party ten times over without breaking a sweat and demanded that the player who tried to kill it must kneel and beg for forgiveness, or face severe punishment.

Well the player decided to refuse, so the spirit cursed the player with some extremely powerful, ancient curse that cannot be simply dispelled by the 'remove curse spell'

Now, i need some ideas about what this curse would be. I don't want it to be some basic, annoying "you take X damage every Y" type of thing, more of a long term thematic type of curse. Like maybe a slowly progressing disease or constant hostility from beasts. Something serious, but not debilitating, but also not something that is some slight constant annoyance but also not something to be ignored.

Any ideas?

I've listened to metal for a decade now, i was thinking of making a battle vest. I have some questions, since im pretty new to this

1. Is it too late for a +25yr old to make a battle vest?

2. Do i have to put on patches of only those bands i've seen live, or can i put patches of any band i like?

3. Should i also cut the collar off the jean jacket i make the vest out of?

4. Are there some unwritten rules on the jackets? Taboos etc.

5. Does it have to be just metal band patches or can i put like game patches or like some rock bands like acdc or deep purple on there too?

6. Best way to upkeep one. Can i wash it in a machine or do they have to be hand washed?

7. Can i make it out of any thrift shop jean jacket or should i buy like a quality vest for it?

Okay so i just bought the pointer dog DLC and its bugged. The dog is actually blind.

I commanded the dog to find medium, there was an axis deer 40 meters infront of me and the dog simply could not find it.

Other time i commanded it to find me large animals. It literally ran THROUGH a herd of red deer and did not find them.

This is ridiculous, is the dog actually just this bad or is it broken?
