idk i'll give y'all 8 off the dome, albums i know front to back you can play thru without a skip, capturing 90s music so beautifully for me
post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.
I wanted to talk about what killing game discs means from a more personal and emotional perspective, so here's me getting a bit sappy about owning things. youtu.be/KAJkgZvIEgU?...

I reviewed @denshattack.bsky.social for @ign.com and it's one of the best games I've played this year. An all gas, no brakes, anime-as-hell (complimentary), roaring soundtrack train-tricker that you should play immediately. Like right now. Thank you to @tomrmarks.bsky.social for letting me do it.
Denshattack! Is Part Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Part Anime As You Do Kickflips In a Ramen Delivering Train, and That All Works Way Better Than You'd Expect
Hitting the track and chaining tricks together is a joy.

Love And Deepspace’s Gay Fans Say It Has A Homophobia Problem
The otome hit is a worldwide phenomenon directed at women, so what happens when men who like men want to try?
