FF8 had a lot of problems but honestly the stone cold banger soundtrack carried me through a lot of them

This thread is incredibly relatable lol. A big reason why I haven't released music is because I am overwhelmed with the amount of ideas and I can't just stick to one and see it through

Every now and then I have a moment when I'm aghast at some weird dish US people love and then suddenly I stop myself because I've realised what it is is poor people food. If only Americans had the same realisation every time they make fun of beans on toast.

The trouble with all religion is that if you take it too literally everything is incredibly stupid and you will end up doing incredibly stupid things to support that house of cards

Fascinating that all this is coming around again the same week I get a massive newsletter from Amanda Palmer, full of tour dates and upcoming album nonsense and completely ignoring her part in the Gaiman fiasco (honestly had forgotten I was subscribed)

Me but it's Bleed by Meshuggah

I am extremely 'non-gender committed' but at school as someone who presented as male but didn't enjoy many of the typical male things like 90% of other boys either didn't want anything to do with me or mercilessly bullied me. That said some of the ones that didn't are still friends 20+ years later.

Hey question, if all the power is going to data centres and not homes, who is going to be using the AI services? Unless this is all in service of a sentient AI who will take all our power and enslave us?

I had a bunch of people blow up at me on here the other day for suggesting that the word socialism was unfortunately kind of ruined due to the Nazis, and I am literally today listening to Behind The Bastards on George Rockwell...

FIFA is one of the world's most corrupt organisations and yet people insist they must see foot hit ball

Hanna-Barbera and Loony Tunes were re-run constantly when I was young in the 90s in the UK and I thought they were awful then. The Gerry Anderson shows were a different story.

Steam Controller Listed As Packaged But Not Dispatched For A Whole Week Blues

I had the most insane idea just looking at this: what if there was sort of a voluntary tax 'pay it forward' system where people who could afford to could choose to donate to departments in need of funding. I imagine arts grants would go through the roof.

The idea of the American Fantasy for people who only know that culture through movies and TV is pretty fascinating and is only going to get more so as Trump systematically destroys all their cultural soft power

Sung to the tune of Welcome To The Black Parade

This game was so funny and charming I think of it regularly

Slightly increase a band Strapping Young Lads

Even before all the Joss Whedon shit came out, there were still episodes of Buffy that were crappy, it was and is still one of my favourite shows, nevertheless. You can love a thing and still be critical of it, which I think is lost on many people these days

Here in Luxembourg there are free concerts regularly throughout the summer all over the country, it's pretty amazing

I feel like I'm going crazy when someone criticises military decisions by the state of Israel and then that person is told 'you are spouting religious bigotry'

Well this post went a bit wild while I was off gardening over the bank holiday Sunday and here's the link for your enjoyment, esp for people unfamiliar with The Observer (or alternatively, in an international context, which Observer) and not sure where to look: observer.co.uk/culture/inte...

These kinds of fights are so gnarly because the line between natural artistic influence and plain old copying are so blurred and hard to parse. That said Avatar doesn't have an original bone in it's body and James Cameron is richer than God so this woman should have had some compensation

Only question is do I buy this immediately on Switch or PC?

My mum is a cis woman who dresses/presents in a quite masculine fashion but has on occasion voiced anti-trans comments which I try to counter with varying success. I suspect there will come a point where she might start getting 'clocked' and realise how pointless the whole argument was.

As someone whose dog left the fight 12 years ago now, I wholly endorse Josie's position and set out my own below.

Luckily I discovered this on my way TO the UK and had my other passport with me. Otherwise I would have been in the shit.

No one introduce Richard Dawkins to Akinator, for god's sake

What the fuck is this, really? If you can't be funny, be racist? I simply cannot see the point of just having such low standards you'd stoop to this. Maybe journalism deserves to die if the tentpoles of the industry are supporting stuff like this.

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: https://scim.ag/42dMPBg

Corporations simply need to be split up if they are getting this large. No one's personal wealth needs to escalate to this level.

Love to get my gurdies hurded

Feels flippant to use the term Streisand Effect here, but that's what happened. Japan ensured a statue very few people would've seen and even fewer would've understood won't be put up, and instead people all over the world are going to read about their system of sexual slavery during WWII.

Name your top 15 TV shows, gut instincts only. Buffy Arrested Development Deep Space Nine Cowboy Bebop The Good Place Community Red Dwarf Spaced Six Feet Under Serial Experiments Lain Farscape Stargate SG-1 Veronica Mars Blackadder Dead Like Me

I find it difficult to lie about a lot of things but when I do it's usually to say 'I'm fine'

Fascinating to learn that my mother is taller than Putin

The US government is full of cunts like this and it's amazing people are still alive there honestly

It's not a nice thought but I have considered the fact that the climate crisis will be solved when it gets bad enough that a significant percentage of human life is destroyed

If you’re wondering why that prolific comedy duo doesn’t work together anymore, and why one is winning Oscars and the other is doing insurance commercials, well, here it is. youtu.be/J6m5Pr51z4U?...

Castle Rat are a fun band!

I was your standard dinosaur obsessed kid and forced my dad to take me to see Jurassic Park in a cinema when I was 6. I had nightmares about velociraptors opening my bedroom door for months

The US starting a monarchy right as the UK dissolves theirs would be so funny

This goes so hard and I love it

The saddest thing about this is that I don't know if the modern media landscape would give a platform to a new Terry

Shockingly creating an emotional reaction out of the shitty blazer/shirt combo we all had to wear at school

I've said it before and I'll say it again: these guys are HOARDERS and should be treated as mentally unwell. I pay 25% of my earnings to social security and when you're on under 30k that is HARD, but if I still had 750 million remaining I can't understand the problem

Mods are asleep, post celebratory pig pics

🎶 you know the day destroys the night night divides the day tried to run tried to hide BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE

Capitalism has always made art hell, it's just always finding fresh new ways to do so

Shock and awe
