FiveBelow or Hot Topic?

Vespair ,

Yep. I love looking at their shirts. Legitimately sometimes you can find great shirts for cheap there, but so often more than half the selection is weird or stupid as hell like this “music” shirt

Vespair ,

I keep waiting for somebody to use the “oh you like women huh? name every woman!” thing on me, because I’m just gonna say Chaka Khan.

She is every woman.

Vespair ,

I love disgaea 1 and 2, but I think 4 is an enormous upgrade in basically every single way, including quality of life.

If you enjoyed D1&D2 at all, I highly recommend D4 and suspect you’ll enjoy it even more than the first two.

For the record, I think 4&5 are the crown jewels of Disgaea; easily my favorite games in the series

Vespair ,

Yeah it takes awhile to realize that every netherworld is different with different customs, and that Laharl’s has the most “demonic behavior” default demons of the whole series. The series quickly abandons the real “demon” energy in favor of just focusing on character and setting tropes and stereotypes instead

Vespair ,

Pop back in after you’ve played a bit and let us know what you think!

Vespair ,

That text is like 4x too large for me. I used to 1 composition notebook for all my classes and stilled ended the year with tons of blank pages because my default text size is so small

Vespair ,

Corn isn’t a nut tho

Vespair ,

Nah bro, acorns are the things cops are scared of

Vespair ,

Sorry grandpa, saxophones are cool again

Vespair ,

One of my favorite 'Pac tracks. An all-time classic.

I guess it depends on your definition of indie some, but here are mine:

Guacamelee 1 & Guacamelee 2 - The humor is mixed but the gameplay is just so damn tight

Shovel Knight - Growing up on games like Mega Man and Duck Tales, Shovel Knight feels like it was made specifically for me.

Celeste - One of my favorite gaming experiences. Great story, great gameplay, and hard as fuck. Incredible accessibility options also.

Recettear: An Item Shop - I don’t know anyone else who has played this game but it’s so damn good. I love it.

Stardew Valley - The way ConcernedApe continues to add free content to this game makes this easily one of the best values in gaming, but this game would still be great even if content updates had stopped a long time ago. Have to play on PC though for mods; the default walking speed makes the game unplayable for me.

I also put years into a now-defunct multi-user-dungeon called Arythia, but that’s kind of it’s own whole thing so I don’t think that counts.

edit: I can’t believe I forgot to include Hades, which is literally one of my all-time favorite games.

Vespair ,

Yeah I played a few, but arythia was my “main” and the only one I still remember the name and details of. But it was also run by a group of kids just slightly older than me out of a local tech school that I knew about via a connection I made in local theatre, so arythia had a much more concrete “real world” feel to me than any of the other completely random MUDs I played.

Vespair ,

I believe a number of them have publisher/port deals with big studios, so I wasn’t sure if that would disqualify them in some eyes, but yes I consider all of them fully indie-developed games.

Vespair ,

Ooooo good tip, thank you!

Vespair ,

This probably isn’t what you mean, but it reminds me a bit of “Love Is An Open Door” from Frozen in terms of cadence and pacing.

It also reminds me a bit of the The Big Bang Theory opening song, but I’m not sure I can really articulate how…

Vespair ,

The problem with loss is the impact of it is …ahem… lost without the context of what an enormous douchebag Tim Buckley was online at that time. Like part of what makes loss so ridiculous is the audacious sanctimonious nature of the comic coming from the internet’s least-likable egotist and troll. You can read as many KYM wikis as you want, but if you weren’t around to witness what a fucking shitbag Buckley was during that time then you can’t really feel the way loss hit when it hit.

Vespair ,

Also, B^U

Vespair ,

Hank’s voice is surprisingly great for Western music… doesn’t even sound odd tbh

Vespair ,

There are other forms of id that are valid; for most jobs I’ve provided my driver id and my passport

Eh.

Stephen Stills is one of the other major members of Young’s supergroup, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and Stephen Stills currently is listed as having 286,696 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Gola Gianni is a random rapper that I have never heard of before searching the word “mumblecore” on Spotify just 5 minutes ago, and he has 328,039 monthly listeners listed on Spotify.

I think you’re both severely overestimating how many people are actually listening to a lot of these “classic” artists and also severely underestimating how popular random flash-in-the-pan artists are on Spotify.

edit: I didn’t specifically use Young’s monthly listeners right now because I suspect the news-worthy nature of his absence and then eventual return likely has temporarily inflated his numbers with the additional attention on him

2nd edit: I kept being curious so I kept looking at numbers for other “big name” bands… I find it almost unbelievable that there is still apparently over 22 million people listening to Aerosmith monthly. I don’t hate Aerosmith, but I’m not sure I could even sit through a whole album of theirs, so that 22 mil is breaking my brain.

Vespair OP ,

Me too. Both because it’s a great song and because it reminds me of simpler days when the dangerous Republican threat we all had to be concerned about was George Dubya Bush; still a gross piece of shit but imo a massive far cry from the despot that is Trump and today’s Republican party

Vespair ,

For some reason this is unpopular, but I don’t think a police officer should be allowed to remove their firearm from its holster until actual assault has occurred, unless non-police citizens are in danger.

A cop merely being scared should never be a reason somebody dies.

If you can’t handle the pressure, don’t be a fucking cop.

Vespair ,

And the reality we have now is a lot of dead citizens who didn’t sign up to a job inherently involving danger. Is that a preferable situation?

Vespair ,

I think there are plenty of other options that exist before drawing weapons. And I think the comparative successes of police in other countries justify this belief. So yes, I do strongly believe that on the whole there would be less dead total, citizen and cop combined, if police were restricted from drawing their firearm until danger has been actualized and were thus instead forced to focus time and resources on necessary de-escalation training.

Vespair ,

WB 👎

Vespair ,

Yeah, the team that made it really put all the A they could into that game. You could say it was made by a real bunch of A-holes, given how much A they put into it

Vespair OP ,

Yeah, I don’t know that I really think any artist’s fan base can truly be viewed monolithically, but I do agree that Harry does have a significant chunk of his fanbase that appears to be fairly juvenile and probably quite young.

Do you have any thoughts on the man himself aside from his fanbase or virality?

Vespair ,

That was cool enough to keep my attention, but admittedly I’m not blown away yet. But I’m interested enough to want to hear more when they put additional tracks on Spotify, certainly

Vespair ,

This was cool, almost city pop-like at times, in a totally cool way. Admittedly due to listening at work I played the song via Spotify, so if this particular performance is different than I missed out on that aspect

Vespair ,

Hmm. Okay, for a one-time payment of $8,000.00 I’ll pop over and install our patented “Discerning Shitter Filter,” guarantee to let only the tastiest of all shit particles enter your atmosphere

Obongjayar - I Wish It Was Me (Live) [3:49, Pop] (youtu.be)

This song is laced with emotions. The sincerity in the lyrics and their rendition makes it all the more powerful. Written for Obongjayar’s younger brother, there’s a display of admiration that’s so rarely seen among siblings where faux competition is typically obtainable. His admiration is fully captured in the title, “I...

Vespair ,

That was pretty; I added it to my current listening playlist 👍
