It sounds like a form of meditation oddly enough.

Sure it’s the company’s choice to make whatever stupid decisions they want. It is also my right to be able to point out when they make stupid choices and when it obviously hurts consumers.

Eh, I thought Andromeda got more hate than it deserved. I didn’t love it, and it definitely had problems, but I thought the story and characters were good and the game as a whole was enjoyable.

There was some kind of either fundraiser or general ~*thing*~ that the seatbelts did a while back where you could buy a single of a brand new 2020 recording of The Real Folk Blues.

We are kindred because I went through the same. What Planet is my second favorite track on Future Blues behind gotta knock a little harder

Cowboy Bebop is what got me into Jazz back during my freshman year of high school in 2000. SEATBELTS is just so damn good. I hate that it’s generally categorized as “old people” music.
