I dunno, my son is on the spectrum (PDD-NOS) and being way too in to something and throwing an irrational fit because someone else doesn't appreciate it as much as he does is a thing that occurs.

that's because they weren't hip hop, not because hip hop wasn't a thing.

Yeah, hate to be pedantic (ok I really don't) but almost nothing in that gallery is analog. The dial gauges in the batmobile, the mixer fader style controls in the Nostromo, that's about it. And the screens I guess. Here's a clue - pretty much anything involving a computer, even an old one, is digital. There is a such…

I don't know this guy. Why should I assume the worst of him? I didn't proclaim him innocent, I just said we don't know.

Its unfortunate the organizer didn't include any women. If the idea truly didn't even occur to him, that's even more unfortunate, but we don't know that. Regardless, it appears intentions were good, and I don't think this is something we should all be outraged by, or that this guy should be vilified.

The idea of holding a panel on women in comics without any actual women on the panel certainly sounds bad. But if you look at what happened here it wasn't that simple. This wasn't a roundtable discussion, it was more of a lecture, given by someone who teaches a college course on the subject. What you have here is…

I have the actual obsolete plastic circle. Sol Invictus is track one. Please save your pirating for shitty music.

Not sure if it's mentioned in the show but in the book it is mentioned that the castle has some kind of natural geothermal heat or something like that. It is actually quite comfortable.

I read this as Patrick Bateman talks seriously about toys, and now I really want this to be a thing.

I don't claim to know the etymology, but that term goes back to at least the 80s, if not before. Back in the day it typically referred to any piece of hardware you needed to make software work, usually as a form of copy protection (software was freely copyable but wouldn't actually work without the presence of the…

Not meaning to take anything away from the obvious talents of Mr. Mercury, but since the author doesn't seem aware: it's worth pointing out that everyone in the band contributed to those famous harmonies. And it's actually Roger Taylor who hits those crazy high notes (like the infamous for meeeeee in bohemian…

Um, no. Tempo is certainly part of the mood of a song, but it doesn't take a musical genius to say "lets slow this down some". Key is almost entirely arbitrary and is usually selected to best suit the singers voice. Sing "twinkle twinkle little star" to yourself. Pick any speed and start on any note you want, its…

I like the fact that Ulga is completely ripped. Her strength and battle skill is believable, unlike your typical practicer of Waif-Fu.

My 12 year old daughter is a fan. I enjoy it too, its really well written, nice subversion of Disney Princess tropes, and Ulga is an honest to god non sexualized positive female role model, a hard thing to find. There are moments of action and violence, but that's really not the focus of the story, if that helps. That…

Proof that this song can kick ass live, and that Neil Young is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Look up geosynchronous orbit. You want to use that other sky, you gotta be constantly re-aiming your dish.

There are some pretty good vinyl rips floating around out there if you look. I am 100% in favor of artists being paid for their work but its hard to feel too bad about it when its not in print. I'd say its ripe for the deluxe re-issue treatment, surely that will happen someday.

Love is indeed super fantastically awesome. The surround sound version even more so.

It isn't that simple. First of all, you'd need a mixer, not just a y adapter. Second of all, the point isn't to downmix the stereo version to mono because mono is inherently superior. Its because the mono mix is actually entirely different, and for most 60s bands this was the "real" mix people cared about. No amount…

Frank Miller may be batshit crazy these days, but don't blame X-Force on him. That was all Rob Liefelds fault.
