As someone who took a 400 level seminar on hibakusha in University, that was fucking WILD. I am honestly impressed at the level of insulting achieved here in an effort to...raise awareness?

This is too much Internet for today

I'm still waiting for him to listen to any bands from his supposed era of expertise that weren't MTV or mainstream adjacent. I have verification dude doesn't even know who Manilla Road were. Positions himself as a crate diver but hasn't ever sifted past the first layer of the crate.

From your lips to whatever force governs the universe's proverbial ears. Bullying Eddie Trunk online would heal me

I loved Alachia as a "villain" so much I leaned into her existence and her being the parent of Jenna Ni'Faira in a *Shadowrun* campaign I ran about 20 years ago.

My bad, forgot America has only been a fascist state for a year and not the decades it spent overthrowing South American governments or seizing control of sovereign island nations or you know, the 'opposition party ' supporting increased funding to the secret police force...

Holy shit, incredible find.

Earthdawn had such fascinating lore, and Parlainth was such a neat city.

Damn now I want to do a track about Earthdawn, but I feel like I'd be stealing Logar's Diary's niche.

I find it hard to justify supporting a person who takes hundreds of thousands from a weapons company and then rubberstamps another country's genocide even before that country kills six of a friend's relatives in a third, unrelated country.

Never forcing candidates to do better is a problem.

The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

My linocut print on black Japanese washi paper in a vertical gradient of copper to green ink of ground, grass and ground pangolin. Every scale of the pangolin is printed on different Japanese washi papers in various colours and patterns.

The 3rd Saturday in February is World Pangolin Day to draw attention to the plight of the world’s most trafficked animals, these magnificent scaly mammals. 🧪🐡 There 8 species of #pangolin in Africa and Asia, all endangered, threatened by poachers for their meat & scales (used in traditional 🧵

Growing up with Final Fantasy is exactly why I give a shit about what happens to marginalized people, what having principles means, and why human lives shouldn't be weighed against each other in some "strategic" calculus.

If you ever feel bad about the course your life has taken, remember you went to high school with someone who spends three nights a week at the bar bragging about his Draft Kings spread and who also had a period where they tried to make it as a Twitch streamer because they are "Nasty at Call of Duty"

On a three hour bus ride and the driver has chosen the 1992 Steven Seagal classic Under Siege for our viewing pleasure. What an absolute hero

Is Steven Seagal a piece of shit? Yes. Is everything about this ridiculous movie peak entertainment? Also yes.

Alright I'm gonna resurface here for a bit because I basically only follow RPG, art and Fire Emblem content here and thus do not have to bear witness to garbage opinions about power metal

I logged in specifically to call someone out for grifting people to buy $500 worth of Warhammer figures because unlike some of their normal marks I actually know the value of plastic, but they have comments disabled, so no point. I hope they somehow see this.

Anyway, I'm out again.

If he was an incredibly intelligent human being he might have designed a better fucking TTRPG, among a myriad of other things.

This is just as surreal to me as it is to Leona. This changed the trajectory of everything.

Forced to endure the toilet thoughts of Europeans who claim songs like A Little is a Little Too Much makes the new Helloween not a power metal album, while ignoring the existence of a songs like Perfect Gentleman.

You cannot take the opinions of Wind Rose enjoyers seriously.

This does not change the fact that it is one of the most significant game releases of the past two decades, an incredible achievement all around for an indie. I say this as someone with no real dog in this fight.

Boomer ass talking point. This may shock you, but labor exploitation is not fine just because you're up front about it! They knew they could absolutely pay more and didn't.

A chart of gibberish, describing emotions associated with a particular frquency (e.g Anger at 150 hz). Please do not take this seriously.

Saw someone post this unironically and I can't believe I've been notching out Peace and Enlightenment for years now

Ozzy's management stole songwriting credits just like Cradle of Filth's does. Also, it wasn't Dani's singular vision considering the existence of Paul Allender and most of the original lineup.

Oh, remind me how much music the 'leader' of this band has written for this band? Because it's somewhere between 0% and 0% -- Dani is ONLY a lyricist.

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

Don't project, man. Nobody here is having an emotional reaction except you. "Haha I was just trolling" Speaking Swedish isn't going to cover you chiming in on a subject you didn't know anything about. As for a land I'll never know, I'll send you a postcard when we play there. :)

"Never heard of Sacramentum before." Yeah, then you probably shouldn't be speaking on this subject. Merely living in Scandinavia does not make you some sort of authority on this subject, and there's also plenty of melody in their music. Just take your L and move on.
