It’s called a Thorn and Sxan likes to use them instead of “th”.

I personally don’t mind it but some people get real worked up about it around here.

Yup.

My 20s were the absolute fucking worst. My 30s? Amazing. Life for me began at 30.

Megadeth’s ‘Rust In Peace’ album. Countless plays over the last 25 years or so. Never gets old.

Joe Scott is good for this.

Absolutely hate when my throat is cuntyescb’lee. A miserable time, that.

America Light® in a lot of ways. Its so damn big that most people that don’t live in the beautiful parts of the country might live their whole lives and never see it.

Housing is fucked, public transit is fucked, urban planning is fucked, we use migrants as cannon fodder for the minimum wage meat grinder… Man, the list goes on.

Its certainly not the worst place in the world to live but it’s really not as good as many people think.

The dialog and worldbuilding text in Caves of Qud is a masterpiece of writing. What a fantastic game.

Opeth - Hex Omega An absolute masterpiece.

Not caring about digital privacy.

A beer, hopefully.

A yacht full of NFT owners is just about the last place in this universe that I’d want to be.

I’m kinda in this boat but I have a soft spot for anime that I grew up with in the 90s and early 2000’s.

There’s also some more recent stuff that’s been generally OK, but I can never keep up with conversations about it because I’m just not in that sphere at all really.

Hit me with some Gen 1 Pokémon, Avatar: TLA or old Ghibli stuff and I’m waxing poetic instantly lol

Exactly!

Politics.

Not interested in the slightest.

Extol.

I’ve mentioned this band a few times recently.

As a metal fan, Christian Metal has always rubbed me the wrong way. It was either way too preachy and constantly proselytizing or it was just straight up bad music across the board. Often both.

Metal is founded on rebellion and speaking truth to power, not bowing down and licking a boot (something Nazi fucks forcing their way into metal scenes need to realize and fuck off - you’re not welcome) so I always handwaved away Christian bands on that basis.

Well it turns out Extol is a shining light in that scene. Their lyrics can sometimes dampen the power but the delivery of the vocals usually keeps that at bay and the music is so immense that it doesn’t even matter.

Their album ‘Burial’ is a bona fide ripper of an album. Unique riffing and melodic choices on top of an absolutely killer drummer. Their later albums are excellent too, but nothing in this world sounds like Burial. 10/10 album for me and in my top 3 of all time for sure.

Just push them to darker parts of the internet why don’t cha?

All this “for the kids” shit is directly at the expense of the kids.

I remember the part about the RFID chips in every person being the most shocking part as a kid. Honestly with smartphones and the modern internet, we’re not really that far off from what was speculated on that topic.

The film is over indulgent claptrap but a broken clock is right twice a day or whatever.

No!

Fire BIG. Big fire bad!

Run away!

The Roman Forum. The Colosseum is cool but way overrated. The Forum is so huge you can easily spend multiple days just wandering around enjoying its history.

10/10 would recommend.
