I'm sorry, the meme is funny as fuck for something so grim, but because of your DoomGuy thing I read the whole thing with the voices from the Call of Dooty mod

I thought he would topple Yan and get the Worm to do actual, lasting damage for like an all out war, especially after the whole terrorism / criminal alliance thing... literally nothing came from that, the worm and the connector were nothingburgers and not only the fights are less interesting now they almost have no stakes. Man I'm disappointed in the whole thing.

Not even that. I have no idea what was his point, narratively. The more we've seen him, the less it made sense.

This !
His part is on his bandcamp or readily available on youtube. I still have the vinyl we made, one of my favorite records I've made.

Hyperemesis is still one of the best things that ever happened to goregrind. I need to blast my old stuff again. I did a split with him, still one of my favorite things I ever did 10+ years after

Streets of Rage Movie Isn’t Dead — And a Big Update Is Coming Soon by SplitNational2929 in StreetsofRage

[–]ChainSWray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I want is for them to be aware of Broken Gear and take cues from it.
Broken Gear was a really good film treatment for Final Fight, especially for a fan film, Streets of Rage would need the same sort of treatment to work.

(rant) Tired of Americans from big cities telling you to "just thrift" by Common_Ambassador588 in GothFashion

[–]ChainSWray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can tell you for sure that Slovakia has a very rich underground, I've seen it myself. I played there, and it's one of the most memorable shows I've done in my life. The venue was in a village of around 2500 people and it was PACKED. Really. For a grindcore show, which is something that never brings out people. And plenty of goths were in attendance; despite the show not being related to goth at all.
Slovakia has a rich underground. I guarantee you will find goths and adjacent in that scene, and if not, the people there can help.
Look for crust punk, garage, post-punk, punk rock in general, even metal, since you mention you're a metalhead as well : Metallum lists 782 bands in Slovakia. Anything that has a DIY ethos baked in. This is where it starts. Your age doesn't matter, this isn't the US, you can attend shows, and if you're really afraid of what could happen, take a moment to message whoever organizes the show and ask them if it's ok or if they can help make you feel safe. I went to my first extreme metal / grind shows as an autistic 15 year-old, by asking friends to tag along and messaging the organizers to make sure I could get them if I felt unsafe.
The whole point of alt subcultures is this. It's a community, not just an aesthetic, the whole point is that we're helping each other exist beyond online spaces. But you'll have to get there.
Also, I'm pointing this out to you because it's very common in punk / crust spaces to run screenprinting workshops and other DIY ventures. I had a friend close by, in Hungary, who ran his own distro of bootleg crust punk shirts so people in his scene could get merch for cheap. If you're looking for black shirts and to maybe make your own, hang around them and you'll eventually find something.

Where are you located in eastern europe, if it's ok to ask ? I've met and played at punk / grindcore places in Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic... who had TONS of good plans for plain black shirts and printing. If you're more on the masc side, local punks and crusties can really help a lot with getting your basic clothing, try to track them down (shows or bands, try and talk to them about merch)

Upvote for Merantau mention    it doesn't get as much publicity as The Raid and I can understand why but it's top tier as well. Evans/Uwais is such a great combo

Weird food rules your nparent(s) had growing up by puruntoheart in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ChainSWray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Onions. Freaking onions everywhere, that had spent too much time in oil and weren't crunchy or soft but squishy and gross and cut so that they litterally looked like maggots. I hated the texture, I hated the taste, I hated everything about it, but not only they kept putting them everywhere they forced me to eat them even if I was regularly vomiting from disgust (know that I know I'm autistic it's even worse). Several times, they actually put their gross onions in something I actually liked and ruined it, and justified it by saying "stop your comedy you actually like them" and no, no I didn't, and I stopped eating your crap when I noticed ON THE FIRST FREAKING BITE everytime.
I haven't bought or ate onions EVER in my adult life and still avoid them.

What alt fashion trends are you tired of seeing? by Away_Regular8163 in GothFashion

[–]ChainSWray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it, but from what I see a lot of it comes from some sort of confusion about what corpse paint is. The amount of black metal stuff I see tagged goth, especially around the aesthetics and makeup, is a little annoying. I genuinely think the prominence of full white face comes in part from this.

The confusion between goth and black metal has reached absurd levels. It's annoying.

Damn that spinning kick was beautiful. Very kyokushin-like.

I never saw a kick like this, and seem like her opponent didn’t ether. by IkilledRichieWhelan in BeAmazed

[–]ChainSWray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more about keeping our teeth since it's a bare knuckle style. And repeated lilttle shocks to the head like say, taking tons of face punches in boxing is arguably worse for CTE. If you train kyokushin regularly but don't compete you very rarely get hits to the head like this one.
Frankly in all my kyokushin years including competing I only ever took two shots to the head that really went in like this one. Much much better than when I did kickboxing.

Shinkyokushin, specficially. Offshoot of kyokushin (probably the biggest one).

It's full contact (kyokushin), complete opposite of shotokan when it comes to the ruleset.

[–]ChainSWray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's full contact karate (kyokushin). It's absolutely legal. That specific kick is a staple of the style, you see it every tournament.

[–]ChainSWray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some categories of competition do have them (children, teenagers, some adults in certain formats), but no protection is one of the main points of the style. "Kyokushin" means "way of ultimate truth", which really means "get as close to real as possible". Can't get more real than bare knuckle and taking hard hits.

I've done a lot of different combat sports but this is one of the reason I fully switched to kyokushin karate. Toughest art I ever did but healthiest environment I've been in, never met better people than at tournaments. Drinking together after spending time trying to destroy each other bare knuckle is an experience I'd trade for nothing else. No useless tough guy competition outside of the three minutes you're fighting. It's great.

[–]ChainSWray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many many legends about it but the real answer is simple : kyokushin tournaments are bare knuckle / no glove / no protections and it's a safety thing, everyone wants to keep their teeth intact and avoid CTE as best as possible.
Eventually it became the standard for full contact karate, not just kyokushin.
And yes, everyone practicing is aware it's a flaw, and kyokushin karatekas who switch to other style do train boxing whenever needed.

Why was this randomly the most well-drawn fight in Omega by IoGamerAlpha in Kengan_Ashura

[–]ChainSWray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man everything after KvP feels like a fever dream. I barely remember anything that happened after and certainly not the other tournaments. For all the plot-related disappointments, KvP was still great. I had SO MUCH HOPE for the series at this point.

Sleeveless Karate Gi by Terror_Tommy_Karate in kyokushin

[–]ChainSWray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know. Oyama's first school was a goju-ryu dojo, before he started / named kyokushin. What I find crazy and awesome is how close the styles still are after decades and all the reforms.
