    This one was a real underground classic back in the day. Shame they had to break up because of KK's allegations.

    This was the most embarrassing wordle round of my short career. I share this as a cautionary tale of the dangers of consuming too much MSG.

    The "manna" guess was kinda elite.

    I don't know why I thought it would be a person's name. I was lost after it didn't accept "fanny"

    What the fuck is a janny, why did I think of it, and why did it count as a word?

    It's a great tragedy that Hobbes and Rousseau didn't live at the same time and never got to kiss and make out.

    @SirContro If you mean they'd study each other's forms, I agree ?

    What Dewey have here? A reference to forms! That's quite Clevoltaire. You've really brought home the Bacon on that pun but I Stilpo believe that what you claim about these philosophers is nothing more than a Freudian slip, but that's Nietzsche here nor there.

    I've run out of French philosophers to mention, so I'll practice French philosophy and surrender ?️

    We will have it your way. They will not kiss and make out, but maybe they'll touch feet under the table and giggle :blob_no:

    Do you like weird experimental jammy instrumental math rock? Probably not, but I'll recommend a song of that sort anyway.

    The drummer is otherworldly. Absurd chops on this track, mixed by none other than the late great Steve Albini. Really strange grooves, especially towards the latter half.

    Bonus:

    Here's the drummer playing the song live. Now marvel at how low this guy sets up his snare drum. Really strange technique, but still incredibly effortless playing.

    Are folks really that scared of the ocean?

    I think it's cool. I like the ocean. It's cool. Not very scary, more so cool.

    "Ermm what if there's a really big thing?"

    It eats krill. Once you're that big, you can't be a predator (unless you're a sperm whale).

    "But we've only explored 5% of the ocean"

    Yeah, the other 95% is a bunch of fucking nothing, like most of the 5%.

    I sure am excited for season 2. I just hope it lives up to the craftsmanship of season 1.

    This performance is sick. The music's great, but the details really elevate it, such as:
    1. Nijika choking the cymbal in the intro.
    2. The dust particles floating around
    3. The overall physicality of the performances.

    Also:
    4. Bocchi's leg moving as she steps on her wah pedal
    5. Ryo and Nijika looking at each other as they repeat the last 8 bars for the solo
    6. Multiple characters on screen, even partially, playing instruments at the same time
    7. Kita's strumming technique improving from their last performance

    Have you ever had a childhood meal that straight up expanded your brain and gave you inner piece, but you don't remember where you had it, so now you spend your days feeling like there's just something missing in life? :blob_unamused:

    Update on this:


    The winner of the Jakarta Performative Male Contest has been decided

    And it was, I shit you not, the son of a famous Indonesian indie author who brought a Mieko Kawakami book with him

    What is a performative male contest?

    Which man can best perform being a man?
    ShrimpShady
    ShrimpShady
    The meme of the performative male is in essence poking fun at the kind of guy who appears progressive or feminist, but is only doing so performatively, often by adopting hobbies, trends, aesthetics, and lifestyles viewed as being appealing to women. Kind of like the male version of a pick-me girl.

    I hope we get another White Pharaoh appearance on Genshin Impact Twitter. It's been lonely without him

    When the White Pharaoh appears, it is a hallowed occasion: one more month of Genshin Impact skin color discourse :blob_aww:

    My reply will merge so I will write it here. There were also a lot of those, one cd disc with many games. I personally own a bunch of those 'compilations'. Obviously those were not official in any way. One CD disc with all HOMM games? Yeah, sure buddy. And of course half the games didn't work, while the rest lagged. They were however dirt cheap.

    I feel like we might've had those compilations as well, but I'm struggling to remember specific titles :blob_cringe:

    And yeah, it was really common for the games to just not work at all. Sometimes you buy a CD and it's a whole other game once you boot it up :blob_facepalm:

    Yep. There were also a ton of modded stuff being sold as new games. I remember after playing Vice City I was looking for new GTA, and I had no understanding how to use internet back then. Obviously I didn't 'google' it and simply looked for it in those shops. So I ended up buying some kind of weird ass mod that added predators into Vice City.

    I sure hope you mean the predators from the movie :sweating_profusely:

    Modded GTA games were also a staple of 2000s gaming here, especially San Andreas. In fact, it was harder to find an unmodded version of the game :blob_facepalm:. It always had a Dragonball, Naruto, or DC mod slapped onto it, and of course it'd break if you actually tried to play the game properly.
