I feel like even the best Black Metal acts are really hesitant to push the genre beyond the standard sound. And I think a lot of it has to do with the "trve kvlt" crap diehard fans saddle the scene with. They discourage change. It's why "blackened [genre]" became a thing. To foster innovation.

I may be in the minority with this, but all of the positive things that came from Romulus will be undone with Scott's Covenant "sequel". At least in regards to the films. I give the man infinite credits for the original film, but acting like he's the definitive authority on the franchise is crazy.

Reminder for Americans: From now until midterms, be sure you are checking your voter registration status at least once s week, regardless of what State you live in. I do not trust voting rolls to not be purged somehow in even the bluest Dem holdouts. Be aware.

Man I haven't wanted to switch to PC gaming so badly, ever. And of course it's at a time when I really can't afford to drop the kind of money needed to do so. Especially with the price of components to build gaming machines these days. I'm honestly really fucking irritated about it.

I'm legit angry. Wanting to punch something, kind of angry. Obviously this isn't dictated by threads of fate being severed or some other fanciful image. But God damn it, just once I'd like to see some spark of universal justice. A pulse of karmic balance. And the void to take evil away instead.

There's this truly odd phenomenon I see in discourse of all kinds. It's this inability(refusal?) people have to understand "I am not opposed to this from a general stance, but I do not want it for me." From very mundane shit to really serious social and political topics...

Years ago I found out that a dude i went to high school with became a moderately successful (read: could pay his bills) streamer. He was known in school as the guy who had two gfs come out as gay after dating him and then start dating each other. We called him "match-maker".

Wait, really? God damn it. My great-grandparents emigrate from French Canadian territory into upper NY state and now I'm stuck with a wannabe fascist tangerine *and* i miss out on the glow-in-the-dark dinosaur coins. This is the worst timeline.

For the next few months every American should be extremely cautious of buying ground beef. Cheap scrap meat from a foreign producer with extremely weakened food safety regulations has the potential to create a massive food borne illness outbreak.

Jesus Christ. I'd almost rather feel like my coworkers hate me than this odd sense of barely existing i get these days. The cross-shift morale is basically nonexistent, too. Past year has just felt like the last shreds of "team" dissolved away and everyone just kind of *exists* around each other.

Saw someone mockingly ask what Trump supporters are going to do with all the merch they bought of his once (if) he's out of office. And I'm like, they'll just sell it to collectors. Duh. They all know that there's still a massive market for WWII era nazi shit, right? It's the same people...

Oof. David Crowley (Dem candidate for gov here in WI) has had more than one positive thing to say about data centers and the Rep ads are already using it to chop him at the knees. Gotta hand it to Dems. No one fucks up momentum like them.

Dear DC/James Gunn/whoever, We don't need our main characters cursing up a storm in every show. It's just edgy nonsense at this point. Hal and John saying "fuck" doesn't add anything to the Lantern mythos. I say this as someone who says fuck dozens of times per hour. But I'm not a Lantern.
