Thursday Release First New Song in 13 Years

Thursday have released their first new song since 2011. It’s called ‘Application for Release From the Dream’, and it arrives 13 years to the day since the release of the post-hardcore band’s last album No Devolución. They debuted it live at a concert in Albany, NY, and it’s also their first single in 25 years without a record label. Listen below.

Announcing the new single on Instagram, Thursday shared the following statement:

Tonight we release our first song in 13 years. It’s also our first release in 25 years WITHOUT a record label. That’s 25 years since we set out in a small white van to play basements and VFW Halls — attics, kitchens and back yards — with a bunch of burned CDRs marked in black Sharpie: “Summer Tour ’99.” In those 25 years, there were so many highway breakdowns, so many emergency rooms, run-ins with the law. So much time laughing in the studio, so many hours huddled together backstage or loading gear in the rain. And yes, 25 years of legal disputes and public blowouts. But now we are free. Free to make our own mistakes. Free to turn this band into whatever we dream it to be, whether we want to make it a collective of rotating members, a small cottage industry, a publishing house, a record label, or just a group of friends still having fun together after all these years. So tonight we step on stage at a tiny independent venue like we would’ve played when we were releasing Full Collapse (23 years ago this week) or again when we released No Devolucion (13 years ago this week). The kind of place we hope we get to keep playing at for as long as they’ll have us. Because no matter the size of the stages we’ve played in those 25 years, we remain— at heart — a small band, a bunch of kids still screaming in a basement. But we’re your small band and we love you. Thanks for everything. We’ll see you at midnight, in your time zone. “It’s just a moment now.”

Dua Lipa Shares Video for New Single ‘Illusion’

Dua Lipa has shared a new single from her third album, Radical Optimism. Following ‘Houdini’ and ‘Training Season’, ‘Illusion’ is accompanied by a Tanu Muino-directed music video shot at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona. Lipa co-wrote the track with Caroline Ailin, Danny L Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Kevin Parker, and Harle and Parker co-produced it. Watch and listen below.

“‘Illusion’ was the first song Caroline, Danny, Tobias, Kevin and I worked on together, and it really broke the ice for the record,” Lipa said in a press release. “It’s about knowing what you’re getting yourself into, but staying for the hell of it. The joke’s on them, it’s the fun of playing someone at their own game because ultimately you won’t fall for an illusion.”

Radical Optimism, the follow-up to 2020’s Future Nostalgia, arrives on May 3.

Through the Lens of Clouds: Huaqi Liu’s Artistic Journey

Through the Lens of Clouds: Huaqi Liu’s Artistic Journey

How can a stranger, traversing the unfamiliar terrain of a foreign land, find his calling? Huaqi Liu, an experienced fine artist, skillfully balances his deep roots in traditional Chinese art with the abstract philosophies of the Western world he encounters. His exploration transcends the conventional boundaries of paint and canvas, delving into the depths of fate and the essence of existence, as reflected in his ever-evolving depictions of cloud formations.

Like many artists, Huaqi Liu sought to define his painting style, ultimately finding inspiration in the ever-changing forms of clouds. In these, he saw a potent metaphor for life’s uncertainties and the interconnectedness of all things. “Clouds, like the I Ching and Tarot cards, harness unseen energies to illuminate the known,”Huaqi reflects. This insight echoes the Chinese proverb, “By observing someone at three, you can foresee their future at seventy,” underscoring the idea that early traits hint at a person’s later life. He added, “Clouds embody the transient nature of existence, reminding us that no matter our path, transience is inevitable.”

In 2023, he was invited to give a lecture at the Maryland Institute College of Art, focusing on the topic of “Clouds and Chinese Destiny.” His lecture explored the challenges he encountered, the strategies he employed to surmount them, and the invaluable lessons he garnered throughout his journey. At the heart of his discussion was how his captivation with clouds intertwined with his meditations on Chinese destiny, offering attendees a deep dive into his creative process and the evolution of his artistic vision. Attendees were particularly captivated by his innovative projects, reflecting his unique integration of art and philosophy.

Huaqi Liu’s passion for capturing the essence of clouds extends beyond mere observation of their formations in the sky. He seeks to encapsulate the stillness, fluidity, and motion of clouds in all their manifestations. “Clouds can appear in places beyond the sky, such as in the reflections on mirror-like surfaces.” He says. In this artwork, the clouds are reflected on the surface of a river painted by Liquin (an oil medium) that lends the scene a watery quality. Through this technique, Liu creates a composition that invites the viewers to reflect on their own image as they observe the reflection of clouds on the water’s surface, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion.

In one of his evocative paintings, Huaqi Liu captures the balcony of his home, a scene rich with emotion and layered with meanings. He employs rice paper to embody the ephemeral nature of clouds and utilizes yellow hues to bathe the scene in sunlight, creating an inviting warmth. This artwork features an individual observing the sky’s transformation from the dark blue of early dawn to the luminous shades of dusk. Through this piece, Liu engages viewers, inviting them to experience the dual feelings of confinement and awe on the balcony—as if to illustrate that, amidst life’s challenges, the beauty of nature endures.

Through Huaqi’s art, he invites the audience to ponder the fleeting nature of existence and our interconnectedness with the world around us. As he continues to explore the beauty of clouds, Huaqi Liu reminds us of nature’s timeless wisdom. It inspires us, regardless of where we find ourselves—whether in joy or sadness, bitterness or happiness.

Why Magic Mushroom Chocolate Bars are So Good

Why Magic Mushroom Chocolate Bars are So Good

Mixing two of the most sought-after pleasures, psilocybin and chocolate, creates a concoction that’s hard to resist. 

But there’s more to shroom chocolates than just their ingredients; they offer a unique and enjoyable way to experience the benefits of psilocybin combined with the universal love for chocolate. 

Let’s delve into why this pairing is so compelling.

What Are Magic Mushrooms?

Magic mushrooms, scientifically known as psilocybin mushrooms, are fungi that contain the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocin. Unlike the mushrooms you might find in your grocery store, these fungi have been used for centuries in spiritual and therapeutic contexts. 

They’re celebrated for their ability to produce profound changes in perception, mood, and thought, often leading to significant personal insights and emotional healing. When ingested, psilocybin is converted into psilocin, which influences serotonin levels in the brain and leads to altered states of consciousness.

And Psilocybin Chocolate?

Imagine combining the earthy, profound effects of psilocybin with chocolate’s rich, comforting taste. Psilocybin chocolates do precisely that, marrying delicious dark chocolate or flavoured milk chocolate with carefully measured doses of psilocybin. 

This not only preserves the psilocybin but also makes consumption more palatable and enjoyable. It allows for easier dosing, appeals to those who may be put off by the taste of raw mushrooms, and provides a discreet and convenient method of ingestion.

How Are Magic Mushroom Chocolates Made?

The process of making magic mushroom chocolates begins with the careful measurement and grinding of dried magic mushrooms to a fine powder. 

This ensures even distribution of psilocybin throughout the chocolate mixture. Depending on preference, the mushroom powder is mixed into melted chocolate, which can be dark, milk, or even white chocolate. 

Additional flavours and ingredients may be added to enhance the taste. The mixture is then poured into moulds and allowed to set until solid. The result is a delicious, easy-to-consume treat with a controlled dose of psilocybin.

Are Shroom Chocolate Bars Legal?

While the allure of psilocybin chocolate bars is undeniable, it’s important to note that psilocybin remains illegal in many jurisdictions. 

However, alternatives like amanita mushroom chocolate and gummies contain different active compounds and are legal in some areas. These alternatives don’t offer the same effects as psilocybin-containing mushrooms but are available for those seeking a legal way to explore the world of mushroom-infused edibles. 

Knowing your local laws before seeking out or consuming mushroom-based products is crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions About Magic Mushroom Chocolate Bars

How does the experience of consuming psilocybin in chocolate form compare to other methods?

Consuming psilocybin in chocolate form offers a more palatable and enjoyable experience than other methods, such as ingesting dried mushrooms directly. The chocolate masks the earthy taste of the mushrooms, making it easier for some people to consume. 

Additionally, the psychoactive effects can come on more smoothly, as the fat in chocolate may aid in the absorption of psilocybin. However, the onset time may be slightly longer due to the digestive process, but the overall experience is often described as more pleasant and manageable.

Can I make my own magic mushroom chocolate at home?

Yes, it is possible to make your own magic mushroom chocolate at home, provided you have access to dried psilocybin mushrooms, and it’s legal in your jurisdiction. The process involves finely grinding the dried mushrooms into a powder and mixing them into melted chocolate. 

Care should be taken to dose accurately and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of psilocybin throughout the chocolate. It’s essential to research and understand the legal implications and potential health risks before attempting to create and consume your own psilocybin-infused edibles.

How do I dose psilocybin chocolate correctly?

Dosing psilocybin chocolate correctly is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. Manufacturers typically indicate the amount of psilocybin per piece or bar, allowing consumers to consume a known quantity of psilocybin. 

For those new to psilocybin, it’s advisable to start with a low dose (1 to 2 grams of dried mushroom equivalent) and wait to see how you react before consuming more. When dosing, it’s essential to consider individual factors like body weight, tolerance levels, and the desired intensity of the experience.

Always err on the side of caution to avoid an overwhelming experience.

Will You Try Magic Mushroom Chocolate?

Considering the unique blend of taste and experience offered by magic mushroom chocolate bars, they represent an intriguing option for those interested in exploring the effects of psilocybin. Whether you’re drawn to the psychoactive benefits, the gourmet chocolate, or both, these edibles offer a compelling experience. 

However, with the current legal landscape surrounding psilocybin, the decision to try it is not just about personal interest but also legality and safety. As the conversation around psychedelic substances continues to evolve, perhaps more people will have the opportunity to explore what magic mushroom chocolates have to offer legally.

In conclusion, magic mushroom chocolates merge the enticing world of gourmet confectionery with the profound experiences of psilocybin, offering a palatable and intriguing method of exploration for those inclined towards psychedelic experiences. Yet, the legal and safety considerations surrounding psilocybin make it a choice that requires careful consideration and respect for its powerful effects.

Lionlimb Unveil New Song ‘Dream of You’ Featuring Angel Olsen

Lionlimb have unveiled a new song, ‘Dream of You’, which features Angel Olsen. It’s latest offering from their upcoming album Limbo, following lead single ‘Hurricane’. Check it out below.

“Our new song ‘Dream of You’ featuring the astonishing Angel Olsen is out today. I wrote it about my dog I lost two years ago,” singer-songwriter/producer Stewart Bronaugh said in a statement. “I was having a recurring dream that he was still alive and I got to hug and kiss and smell him again. It was so realistic and though the song may not reflect it, it was the happiest feeling ever.”

“I’ve been a fan of Lionlimb since 2012, and for a time – part of the band toured with me and recorded on albums Burn Your Fire For No Witness, and My Woman,” Olsen added. “So naturally when Stewart asked me to sing on ‘Dream of You’ I knew it would be vibey and beautiful. I tried to enmesh myself in the recording and sing in more of a way that complemented the dreamy backdrop of the song and story of Limbo.”

Limbo comes out May 24 on Bayonet Records.

Andrew Bird Trio Announce New Album ‘Sunday Morning Put-On’, Share New Songs

Andrew Bird has announced a new album of jazz standards, Sunday Morning Put-On. Out May 24, it marks the first release from the Andrew Bird Trio, featuring Bird, drummer Ted Poor, and bassist Alan Hampton. Listen to their take on ‘I Fall in Love Too Easily’ and ‘I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face’ below.

Sunday Morning Put-On was recorded live at California’s Valentine Studio and includes additional contributions from Jeff Parker on guitar and Larry Goldings on piano.

“When I was in my 20s, I lived in an old apartment-hotel in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago,” Bird shared in a statement. “It was cheap and inhabited mostly by retired Jesuit priests and nuns from nearby Loyola University. The gym had old Schwinn 10-speed bicycles up on cinder blocks for low-rent pelotons, an old swimming pool where they played opera, and the steam room was a clubhouse for the local Russian mob. Most Saturday nights I’d stay up listening to a radio show called ‘Blues Before Sunrise’ on WBEZ from 12-4am. The DJ, Steve Cushing, played old rare 78rpm records of blues, jazz and gospel. Then I’d sleep for a few hours and wake to Dick Buckley’s show, also on WBEZ, featuring what he called ‘Golden Era’ jazz from the 30s and 40s. My love for a certain era of jazz up through the mid-20th Century has been constant through many transmutations in my own work, the bulk of which is not jazz at all. Once I had some distance between myself and this time when I was under its spell, I wanted to immerse myself in it again.”

Forest Swords Shares New Songs ‘Torch’ and ‘Pearl of Hail’

Forest Swords has released two new songs, ‘Torch’ and ‘Pearl of Hail’, which were recorded during the sessions behind last year’s Bolted. Take a listen below.

“’Torch / Pearl of Hail’ were siblings written as part of the ‘Bolted’ album sessions, recorded in a factory studio space in Liverpool last winter, that deserved an extra life,” Matthew Barnes explained in a statement. “I’m trying to not have much music hanging around on hard drives gathering dust anymore, life’s too short. This pair are a bit lighter and more spring-like than most of ‘Bolted’, but still share the same DNA.”

Album Review: Maggie Rogers, ‘Don’t Forget Me’

Album Review: Maggie Rogers, ‘Don’t Forget Me’

Maggie Rogers wrote the songs on Don’t Forget Me in chronological order, but the way they maneuver through time is strange and dizzying. One moment you’re right in the present, about to hit the open road; then, a few songs later, Rogers reminisces about driving upstate, singing indie rock songs, reliving. “When all of the years start to blend in together/ I watch ‘em disappear in your eyes,” she sings on ‘The Kill’, and you can feel the same thing happening in these songs. Rogers slips easily from present to past tense, starts sentences with remember, then lets go of it because the picture is just so vivid: “The wind was in my hair/ And you had that red flush in your cheek,” goes ‘If Now Was Then’, invoking another song about being paralyzed by time. “When I’m onstage, or when I’m making something, I’m not thinking about who I am or what I’m trying to do,” Rogers said in an interview. “Time gets really sinewy. It’s spidery and slow.” It moves like that listening to Don’t Forget Me, yet it also flies by so fast. She’s about to turn 30, but in these songs she’s 18, 22, 28, the years flashing before us.

Though it hews close to the breezy, anthemic pop-rock structures she embraced with 2022’s Surrender, Rogers made her third album under different circumstances. It was written over five days, three in December 2022 and two the following January. None of the songs were fully formed when she went into the studio with Ian Fitchuk, whose most recent work includes Kacey Musgraves’ Deeper Well, which was also recorded at Electric Lady Studios. They were eager to capture Rogers’ live performance on a record, and when they tried fleshing out the songs, they didn’t hit the same way, so most of the recordings on the album are first takes. In some ways, this makes Don’t Forget Me less ambitious than Surrender or 2019’s Heard It in a Past Life, but it also feels more lived-in and organic. There are still soaring, wide-eyed songs befitting the album’s roadtrip aesthetic, but stripped of the polish of some of her earlier material, the urgency of Rogers’ performance is amplified, as is their ephemerality. ‘Drunk’ is thrilling for its depiction of a self-destructive spiral, but it quickly registers as just a single moment in the story that unfolds; she writes ‘So Sick of Dreaming’ like the narrator has only just reached the point of exhaustion; then, on ‘The Kill’, she’s removed enough to sing, “Remember the days we used to ideate/ About what we would do all our lives.”

As much as these songs are about memory, Rogers blurs the line between her own and the girl she pictures in them, “a sort of Thelma & Louise character who was leaving home and leaving a relationship, processing out loud.” There’s a carefree playfulness that comes with portraying these imagined scenarios, as heard on the driving ‘Never Going Home’, and it also has the effect of rounding out a journey that might have come off as thin and incoherent otherwise. But Rogers avoids using the narrative device to distance herself from it all; if anything, it unguards her in ways that are difficult to achieve once you’ve made a name for yourself as a confessional songwriter. It’s her own friend we hear on the opener, ‘It Was Coming All Along’, grounding what looks like an existential crisis, and she owns the emotion on every song – especially the ballads, which benefit from the rawer presentation.

‘I Still Do’ stands out for its bracing admission of a love she can’t let go of, and you get the sense that enough time has passed for the feeling to be irrational. But it makes sense in the context of Don’t Forget Me, a collection that frames love as maybe our only shot at being remembered, at making any of this matter. In the end, Rogers reminds us, it’s all we have. But it doesn’t have to be grand and dramatic; it can be as simple as “a good lover or someone that’s nice to me,” as she sings on the closing title track. It would be anti-climactic if the want in the song for the love itself rather than for any of it to mean something, but that’s the yearning that comes through, and it’s soft. “So it goes/ Time moves slow/ Until one day you wake up and you realize/ That what you see is what you know,” Rogers sings on ‘All the Same’, and the gentleness in her voice is that of hindsight. Time bends, too, listening to Don’t Forget Me, and it can stir up emotions you didn’t even realize were there before, the magic hiding in plain sight.

Double Bass Accessories: Perfecting Your Sound and Playability

If you’re a bass player, you know how important it is to have the right gear to elevate your sound quality and playing experience. While mastering technique is essential, having top-notch instruments and accessories can significantly impact a musician’s performance. In this article, we’ll explore some bass accessories to help you achieve optimal sound and playability.

  1. The Bow

A bow is vital for any string musician, including those specializing in the double bass. Investing in a high-quality bow that matches your playing style and musical aspirations is critical. One of many double bass accessories for sale comes in materials like pernambuco wood or carbon fiber, each offering favorable characteristics that can influence your instrument’s tonal properties.

  1. Rosin

Rosin is a must-have for all string bass players. It creates friction between the bow hairs and strings, enabling you to produce resonant tones. When selecting rosin, consider weather conditions (humidity) and personal preference (light versus dark rosin). Experimentation is vital to discovering the rosining technique that complements your playing style. When you upgrade the strings on your bass, you can enhance the quality and make it easy to play your instrument.

There are various types of strings, such as gut core, synthetic core, hybrid core (a mix of gut and artificial), steel core, and spiral wound strings.

  • Gut core: Known for its rich tone but needs care.
  • Synthetic core: Another choice that offers stability, durability, and a variety of options.
  • Hybrid core: Blends features from gut strings with performance materials.
  • Steel core: Ideal for jazz or rock music due to its bright tone and projection.
  • Spiral wound strings: Offer a versatile option combining warmth with responsiveness.

Tailpiece and Endpin

The tailpiece holds the strings at the bottom of the instrument while the endpin supports the bass during play. Choosing a custom-made tailpiece that suits your bass can significantly affect its vibration and sound Similarly, consider material, length, adjustability, and stability when selecting an endpin that best fits your needs. 

Accessories for Bass

Pickups

Adding a pickup system to your double bass could significantly impact you if you often play in venues with amplification or want to explore effects. Pickups tap into vibrations from the instrument’s soundboard. Convert them into amplified signals through an amp or PA system. There are types of pickups, including piezo, magnetic, and hybrid systems combining both technologies.

Flight Cases and Gig Bags

Protecting your bass during transportation to rehearsals, performances, or recording sessions is crucial for keeping it in good condition. Flight cases and gig bags offer levels of protection based on your requirements. While flight cases protect against impacts, they are bulkier and heavier than gig bags, which are lighter and more convenient to carry, although they may provide less structural support.

Tailpiece Adjusters

Tailpiece adjusters are metal accessories that can be attached to the tailpiece of your bass. They enable adjustments to the string tension, facilitating intonation and playability. Installing tailpiece adjusters can streamline the tuning process by allowing changes in string tension without adjusting the tailpiece screws, and this is particularly useful in situations where changes in playing conditions or fluctuations in temperature could impact the stability of your string’s pitch. Tailpiece adjusters are available in various styles, such as those with built-in tuners or separate adjuster mechanisms that can be attached to the tailpiece.

In Conclusion

Opting for top-notch bass accessories enhances your playing experience by elevating sound quality, ease of play and overall comfort. Experiment with options to discover what aligns best with your aspirations and personal preferences—whether it involves upgrading strings or choosing bows that complement your unique playing technique. Remember, investing in these accessories represents an investment in yourself as a musician—enhancing how you perceive your performance and how others appreciate it, too.

Valorant: A Guide for Newcomers in game

Valorant is a world where every shot matters and every decision determines the fight’s outcome. It is a skillfully woven web of tactics, skills and mastery, where every agent is the key to victory, and every map is a battlefield where teams fight for the existence of their worlds. Here, among bullets and explosions, legends are born, and battles turn into epic sagas. Valorant is a challenge for those who are ready to become the hero of their story and make their mark in the battle for glory and valor. Enter the battle and feel the pulse of this unique world, where every moment is filled with adrenaline and the opportunity to become better.

Basic mechanics of Valorant

Main gameplay

Valorant offers unique gameplay where each player chooses one of the agents(also known as radiants) with unique abilities and participates in 5v5 matches on various maps. Your team’s task is to either defend the spike site from being planted by the opposing team or successfully plant the spike yourselves. This is the main PvP activity that players play in normal and ranked mode. If you have played CS GO and shown good results, then you will quickly adapt to this game. The main feature of Valorant is the absence of special grenades, but each agent in the game has abilities, that can blind enemies, create obstacles, deal damage and heal.

Other PvP modes

The game has several other modes besides competitive and normal, which will help diversify the gameplay or prepare for a real battle:

  • Swiftplay: This is a mode in which you play a quick version of the normal mode where you purchase the weapons that you need.
  • Spike rush: This mode is similar to a quick game, but in each round, weapons are randomly given to you and your teammates. You can also find special spheres on the map that will strengthen your character for a while. All players have a spike.
  • Deathmatch: There are no teams in this mode, each player must get as many points as possible by killing opponents until the timer runs out.
  • Team Deathmatch: A type of deathmatch where one team kills the other, gaining points before the end of the timer.
  • Escalation: Your team must complete 12 levels of escalation. Each level gives you a specific weapon and with its help, you must kill enemies. The first team to complete all 12 levels wins.
  • Premier: Premier is Valorant’s in-game tournament system, requiring a team of 5 players to compete. Once your team is ready, registration for the current tournament cycle must be completed before the deadline. Tournaments last approximately a month, with each weekend featuring a specific map that you can preview. You can play up to 2 games per tournament weekend.The competitive mode game in Valorant’s Premier grants Overtime Priority to the first team reaching 12 rounds in overtime. This allows them to choose whether to start on attack or defense.

Roles of agents in the game

The choice of agent  is an important component of the gameplay, which can turn the tide of the battle. Each agent has a role and helps the team in certain situations. The game has 4 roles with certain features:

Duelist

The role of a duelist in Valorant is to be a leading fragger and a strong player in most rounds of the match. The duelist strives to constantly put pressure on opponents, creating one-on-one situations and winning them, using his skill and reactions.

Initiator

The initiators in Valorant are agents, who check dangerous corners and open the way to the plant point. They often use smoke screens, flash grenades, and suppression and disorientation devices.

Controller

Controllers in Valorant allow you to effectively defend and consolidate the desired positions on the map. They use special gadgets that allow them to determine the location of the enemy or set up barriers.

Sentinel

Supports specialize in providing support to their team, providing additional opportunities for surviving and controlling the playing field. They can use barriers, healing abilities and other skills, which help for their comrades

Weapons

There are several types of weapons in the game and each of them is suitable for certain situations. There are 6 types of weapons available in the game: sidearm, SMG, rifle, sniper, heavy and shotgun.

Rifles are the most used type of weapon at the moment, however, if there are a large number of short distances on the map you can buy SMGs or shotguns for killing enemies and profitable exchange in the economic part for your team.

Game cycle in Valorant

Each round of the game begins with a shopping phase, where you choose the weapons and skills that you need, for the realization of your plan with the team. Communication with teammates is the important thing that will make your team as effective as possible. After discussing your actions, you begin to implement them. If you see enemies, it is important to tell your allies about them and think   about their next actions and adapt to the enemy’s movements. Everything, that happens next depends on your ingenuity, accuracy, and ability to use the capabilities of your character. This cycle occurs every round for the duration of your game.

Valorant boosting service

Although the game has similar mechanics as other FPS shooters, beginners may encounter certain problems. Each Valorant radiant in the game has its own playstyle and often the player must be able to play more than one character at the same time, because your favorite character may be chosen by another player. 

In this situation, you can buy coaching, where a professional player will improve your playing skills with a certain radiant and also improve your shooting skills. If you are a good player who is always at the top of the leaderboard every game, but loses it through your weak teammates, then in this situation you can also order Valorant boost. You and the Valorant booster will play on the same team, destroying your opponents, winning most of the games.

You can also use Valorant boosting to raise Valorant rank without your participation. This will save your time and effort and you will be able to tell your friends what a cool player you are.

Conclusion

Valorant is both a familiar and unique game in its genre. It uses mechanics that are familiar to most players, but introduces unique agent abilities, making the gameplay fresh and unique.
