Finland also has a Sesame Street-like heavy metal band of dinosaurs making educational and children-appropriate heavy metal music for kids:

Land O’ 10 000 Lakes
There’s a new contender to the “weird shit from Finland” scene
And of course Nokia.
my summer car
The title screen theme is actually the Finnish national anthem
Honestly love everything about that game. But by god I will never steal money from that guy again.
Being stalked by him gives me PTSD flashbacks from that butler in Tomb Raider.
Noita is amazing.
The movies as well:
Mfers live in a winter wonderland and yet every other death metal band comes from there
One part of the reason might be because we are so strangers to sharing our feelings by talking that the only socially acceptable way is to let them burst in the form of music.
One other reason might be the fact that regular working hours in the winter often coincide with the few hours with sun so many might go months without seeing the sun(my personal record is about 2 months)
There is a lot of things in dark woods to be fearful of.
How have you forgotten Remedy, with Alan Wake, Control, and Quantum Break?
I feel like Finland might be where I belong. If only I could realistically learn Suomi…
Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.
Eh, they have a good school system I think and most people know English
Baba is You isn’t that edgy, it’s just a sheep game…
I can’t believe that “My Summer Car” isn’t on here, I feel like it fits the theme of amazing but slightly disturbing Finnish games
And Wreckfest, Flatout, Rally Trophy
edit: Trials!
That is just an accurate rural finland simulator
Well we have long winters. That shit has an effect on humans who stay at these latitudes for longer times. In every sense, evolutionarily (light skin, blue eyes), culturally (we’re introverted as fuck) and personally (if you don’t supplement vitamins properly, mainly D, you will get at least slight changes to mood and whatnot).
I’d like to visit some actually Southern place, like in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Africa or Southern Asia or Australia. First to just see a proper sunset. Secondly, to see whether not everyone is as much of a dick as people I generally have lived around all my life.
How would you like an all expenses paid trip to Antarctica?
Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)
Buncha perkele
Maybe their winter could give us an answer… /j
By the way, if there’s anyone from Finland reading this, hello! 👋😃
Why hello! 🙋🏻♀️
I think I saw some quip by Linus Torvalds about how Finland has such long winters with nothing to do, so it’s no wonder we have so many great information technology nerds.
I don’t think they like to be talked to that directly.
Oh beings of higher
existancelatitude if you would be so kind as to bless me with your knowledge and grace
