You don’t have to be a metalhead to love Metalocalypse, it’s an over-the-top parody of the genre made by an actual metalhead, so if you aren’t one you can still laugh at the silliness of it all. Fair warning though, there’s graphic gore in every episode, because you know, that’s metal.

I’m not a metalhead or anything but Metalocalypse’s music, characters, and over-arcing plot are pretty great and it’s espisodically pretty fun. You should definitely check it out.

As the owner of both a Wii U and a Vita, I have no regrets about buying either one. Are they the best systems? No. Did I get my money’s worth out of them? Absolutely.

I inherited a high-quality one along with a pretty nice receiver and a nice set of Bose bookshelf speakers from my grandpa about 15 years ago. If not for that I probably never would have either. My grandfather actually had pretty varied taste in music, so I also took some of his records that I enjoy as kind of a…

I’m the same as you for reasons similar to what you list. For music I’m the guy who still buys CDs and rips them to my computer, and then my phone. My 100% preferred option is buying vinyl that comes with a digital download, but this isn’t as widespread as I would like. I do sometimes buy albums via iTunes, I see that…

In addition to Redbox, local libraries remain a source for physical media if you only want to borrow it. Libraries remain a tremendous underutilized resource. As someone noted elsewhere, if public libraries didn’t already exist it would be impossible to get them started anymore.

“Terminal gamer brain”! I like it! It’s an apt description of the try-hards who have seen people getting positive attention for saying “HIGH FPS GOOD!” and they think they’ll look all smart and in-the-know if they say the same thing about anything FPS-related, even when it’s not at all related to games.

I see people try to make AI images and photoshop them into something coherent but it always looks to me like they built a robot, put a wig on it, and called it alive.

Tech dude here. I can’t make art and can’t wrap my head around the need to make art. I do not have that innate compulsion to create something with nothing but a vision and anything that I do create when I try comes out dry and soulless. That lack of understanding inherently makes me appreciate art and artist for the…

Because they’re not artists. They’re tech dudes who think they can take something squishy and messy like art and recreate it with cold engineering. They don’t actually understand what art is, why people make it, or why people appreciate it.

I think it’s worse the more stylised the original was. So Cole looks better because photorealism was kinda what they were going for in LA Noire (and they did face capture to try and mimic human expressions too) where as Cloud looks.... wrong.

I’d argue that The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Mother’s Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magik are actually good , but from One hot minute onwards they settled into their groove of basically releasing the same song over and over for 20+ years.

Chappelle gleefully ignores the fact that the majority of trans women murdered in this rat-fucked country are Black. He and whoever this idiot is doesn’t give a single fuck about Black folks. He doesn’t need us ‘cause he barks on command/cash for white audiences. 

the issue with ck isn’t whether or not he apologized, the issue is: doing it in the first place.

Not the only companion that explicitly has a bisexual past.

I’m looking forward to this. These fan-animated collaborations are so much fun to watch.

You’ve more or less just described a central aspect of You.

that donald glover-produced show ‘swarm’ was apparently about that. i never watched it.

With the connection that fans now feel to artists via social media, including the delusion that they would be fast friends if they met in person, the Misery scenario feels more real than ever. Annie coming across Paul’s car was complete chance. Meanwhile today people track artists’ every move. I expect Taylor Swift…

Original Nintendo systems came with 2 controllers- both the NES and SNES came with a second as well as a game. It wasn’t until the redesigned NES (toaster) that it only came with one, but that system redesign bombed horribly that no one owns a Nintendo toaster.
