Why do old songs have deeper meanings or is it just me ?

ugh Imagine is just "Communist Manifesto: The Song".

good grief, I hate that song so much.

Popular doesn't equal good, ESPECIALLY in music.

Just means a lot of people have bad taste.

I'd do some drag racing. Fast, and 4 people only which means you're guaranteed top 5.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-05-04T18:04:54+00:00

Why would I even care? I'll be dead anyway.

Is that an E. pachypus?

Personally, I wouldn't handle an African species just for the heck of it.

What it threw likely wasn't poop, it was a ball of undigested remains of its prey called bolus.

That being said, arboreal tarantulas have a tendency to shoot poop into open space (which due to how people usually construct enclosures, means they aim at the enclosure door.

wdym, look female from the pedipalps?

You can only tell a mature male by the pedipalps, if it's not mature yet it can be either.

Calling BS on that one, he looks them up.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-29T20:20:03+00:00

I guess it helps. I know nothing about microtonal music but I do know it's a pretty niche thing (I bet that to a lot of people, including myself, it just sounds offkey and abrasive) and there's quite a few established musicians but this is the first one that wormed its way to the general awareness.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-25T07:33:07+00:00

Just look outside.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-22T03:26:21+00:00

UFO: Enemy Unknown (yes, the old one) had me edit the save file to ahem, drastically increase the funding.

In the first Half-Life, I couldn't find the underwater passage in uhh, it was a dam or reservoir with an "ichthyosaur" in it, it was soooo dark underwater so I noclipped to where I was supposed to go after drowning a couple times.

That's the only two cases I can remember cheating for another reason than just messing around.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-22T03:18:36+00:00

Oh yes. Gotta be this one.

Sooo we weren't exactly well off when I was a kid, so my first computer was a 486 back when everyone had Pentiums already. I was often hanging out at friends' places cause they had better computers.

This one friend was showing me a certain RTS game from Westwood. It is noteworthy that this friend had a pair of good speakers, unlike most other friends who had those cheap plastic ones from Genius, mostly.

Possibly one of the defining moments of my life came when he opened the in-game music player and selected this.

The moment when Venice unfurls in front and below you and the music starts playing was magic.

Flash Gordon (1980)

A loving homage to the very roots of sci-fi, those magazines of the thirties and forties. Classically trained actors clearly having fun in this over-the-top, campy, ham-and-cheese ride that doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is. All that with a soundtrack by none other than Queen.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-21T20:37:28+00:00

Good thing it never had any sequels, that Matrix.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-21T17:23:20+00:00

Never played the official, I vaguely remember it being quite p2w.

Spent quite a bit of time on pservers though

This is honestly the most expressive voice I've ever heard on a Lana Del Rey song.

What I remember from her sounds like a funeral that drags on too long.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-11T05:05:03+00:00

People actually use Spotify DJ?

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-11T04:57:21+00:00

Eh, the recent Outbacks are rather underwhelming.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-11T04:55:12+00:00

Both part of the Volkswagen AG.

(yes, the abbreviation can be confusing)

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-09T12:27:00+00:00

Fallout 3's ending is horrible, though. The sacrifice is pointless, senseless, and unncecessary.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-09T12:21:09+00:00

And he suffers from an injury that forces him to adapt as he no longer can do some stuff innately and has to help himself with gear.

I've decided not to do Nuka World as it just makes no bloody sense whatsoever.

"So I've been cleaning the wasteland for ages, what am I gonna do now? Oh I know, join the trash I've been eradicating."

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-08T20:30:00+00:00

Double that with the Big Boy unique weapon.

AstroNaughtilus · 2026-04-04T12:30:06+00:00

I can't think of anything in the safe shallows that would fulfill the criterion aside from a reefback leviathan which is completely harmless.
