Thank God I can separate audio tracks in OBS because this is the kind of nonsense that be going on in the VC when cool shit happens. #PlayMoreVF #VirtuaFighter #VF5REVO

I have my reasons for being as selective as I've been with how I engage with fighting game stuff over the last year+ but I want my FGC pals to know I'm glad they're still finding enjoyment and meaning in it.

Sleuthing an Italian black metal to see if they are fash? Call that Pesto Noir

[musician woes] FUCK FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCFUIKJFUFCUCKJ

my health is kind of in the shitter with this swollen lymph node not going away & i know everybody's hurting rn but if anybody could shoot me a couple bucks for dinner id super appreciate it paypal.me/plasmasword or ko-fi.com/plasmasword

holy shit we may have finally found the Robert Christgau of game critics (derogatory but it's complicated)

this sounds so great. i think the idea of taking stories traditionally associated with 'epic scale' and making them heartfelt and lo-fi through the creative artifice of people with real good taste is the way forward for all kinds of media, especially games www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/s...

ooh this installment is fierce

pls consider helping if you have the means / sharing!

add a guitar and make the hair brown and this is almost exactly me in high school.

played VF the other night and it turns out I think that game is still really cool but if Sega expects to run big international tournaments for this they really gotta do something about that PS5 lag

25 years of living in the bay area before having my car broken into. not a bad run.

everyone at the kowloon walled city show has different minor league baseball team hats on

EXCUSE ME

Strong Songs episode on "Holy Wars" let's fuckin go

LRP: not that I think it's ok to go around spoiling things for people but if hearing spoilers completely ruins something for someone I generally find that their engagement with media is depressingly surface-level.

Incredibly happy on being included in this write up! They wrote some nice words about my music, and there a lot of other cool releases covered here. I'm great company! toiletovhell.com/dei-metal-vo...

spoilers are fine. I love looking up spoilers and I still fully enjoy the media I looked up the spoilers for it's actually fine that I do this

not actually a bad take but as mentioned elsewhere, prog rock got way better after the 70s

If you want something concrete to do while so much is terrifyingly out of our control, here's one option: donate to a mutual aid effort supporting people displaced by Israel's genocidal war on Lebanon.

anyway here's something neat with Lei Fei's 66K changes I guess. all guaranteed afaik so 165 dmg total. (for the less VF-literate, follow-ups such as the series after the 5K will hit when a character is side-turned, even if the game doesn't register them as a combo.) #playmorevf

when the 90s anthologies were released it was like every other notable 60s band (even the ones the Beatles ripped off) just vanished overnight. I feel like I only know about the Yardbirds or the Canterbury scene because of my dad's vinyl collection. I'm just real fuckin sick of the Beatles man.

yes yes impeachment and all that but uh, how about disarmament too. how about shutting down military bases.

one thing I hope this ordeal has illustrated is the sheer absurdity of any one person (or small handful of people) being granted the ability--regardless of their ideology or any legal or procedural guardrails--to visit horrific destruction on anyone they want, inside or outside their borders.

It's not just Iran whose surrender is being demanded. It's yours. Your hope. Your belief in yourself and our collective potential. Your empathy. They want to crush those things. They want you to believe their will is inevitable. They want you to surrender.

It has now been five weeks since the noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted from where he lives in Tehran. Any number of reasons might be why. We do not know. Again, please consider investigating his work.

‘Call your representative to request they try to stop more genocide and potential nuclear war’ is one of the most disempowering positions anyone could hope to be in.

maybe you wouldn't be so panicked over bluesky "dying" if you didn't apply steamcharts logic to everything in your fucking life holy fucking shit shut the hell up.

happy Today to anyone celebrating

Xianghua's 22_88B from Soulcalibur II. sidestepping vertical mid that pretty much could not be sidestepped*, could dodge horizontals*, was safe on block, mixed up into itself (which basically made it plus on block) and guaranteed 30-40% damage on hit. *see follow-up post for further details.

Petunia’s vet appointment is in 3 days, and we need at least $215 to cover everything she needs right now Please help us take care of this sweet old lady! Unfortunately she showed up at our house at a moment when me & my roommates are all entirely broke, but we love her! Ko-fi.com/PaniniKill

a conversation we're not ready to have is how prog rock got way way way better after the 70s

the walls start shakin, the earth was quakin

'Sad Wings Of Destiny was a record dealing with a realm of violence, conflict and drama fit to render heavy amplification as the stuff of a gravitas that only Sabbath had previously essayed with any real conviction.' #JudasPriest, Sad Wings Of Destiny & The Birth Of Modern Metal buff.ly/8PjnktA

when I was a teen this is the album I lied about listening to so I could seem cool in front of all my online friends in the Dream Theater fandom. be extremely glad you didn't know me as a teenager. anyway I think I've listened to it all of three times. it's...alright.

A slumgullion of pulp sf, rockism avant-la-lettre, Peart still thinking Rand was a role model, a second half song that's basically one big/flawed stoner joke. But it's still something at its crazy-ass best and seeing them do the title track on that last tour, a delight. "WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL."

good show. (left early bc I couldn't get a straight answer on when the parking garage closed but got to hear "Ordinary Loss" so it worked out.)

I made it.

Day 31: A song with a motif that returns at the end Twilightning, "Plague-House Puppet Show" www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdBb... #IsmuasMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge this was fun! thanks for having me. bsky.app/profile/ismu...

am I actually gonna go to that show I bought tickets for months ago? place your bets.

I hate when people bring up these legal guardrails that politicians have to work around as though they don't circumvent them all the damn time, especially when they're explicitly trying to do harm. power is what matters, and the public officials who are ostensibly "on our side" should use it.
