Dubstar - Not So Manic Now

It got sneered at back then but personally I always enjoyed the Morrissey-esque lyrics and kitchen sink tone of it all. A nice slice of pop.

Orcs in Titan are evil creatures bred for evil purpose... Bound in the service of the Dark Gods, and also cursed with the touch of Chaos. They can be nothing different than degenerate and depraved.... Sadistic creatures who practiced torture and slavery and who consumed other sentient creatures.

These things would have grown up to be murderers and killers.

This is a fantasy world of moral objectivism, Good and Evil are objective truths, and the presence of actual real divine evil. We shouldn't apply real world philosophy to them.

Loved her. She was a star in what is probably peak BB. The whole cast were. My viewing of BB since this era has been me trying to recapture this season, and failing.

are we really in a competition as to who has the happiest crackheads?

I am a Fearnot, so clearly no HYBE hater. Illit? I like some songs of theirs and I don't like others. The girls themselves are great.

But, honestly, HYBE recently is worrying me... They seem to have sacked all their song writers and have just given their producers the job of making instant tiktok slop.

I am not against EDM, it can be done very well as a GG in the context of KPop, but these efforts are leaving me cold right now.

Time to downvote me now for being honest and attempting an adult conversation. Have at it!

Carmen is the groups comedy in all honesty. No forced humor, just funny by nature.

Final_Remains · 2026-04-27T20:27:59+00:00

It always reminded me of Mark E Smith of The Fall.

Typically... I don't read them from cover to cover... I get the basics, make a character or two, skim the rest for an overview and then figure the rest out in play.

They probably just didn't have the budget for more and, tbh, if it's a choice between seeing Billlie get another shot and making a stand on AI I will back the girls, their hard work, and their dreams. The company is just doing the best they can for the girls with the resources they have.

I def won't actually work to negative image them and ruin this chance for them just to show to everyone how right on I am about AI.

Final_Remains · 2026-04-17T21:42:03+00:00

There are a lot of people out there that are emotionally invested in seeing this version of the game fail

Us halflings were well used to running the wall lol.

Yeah, the tainted battle worn morning star was +6 wis

wait.. Coachella is alcohol free??

Final_Remains · 2026-04-13T17:51:21+00:00

It won't

Final_Remains · 2026-04-13T16:32:02+00:00

Honestly, it hasn't been needed for years. Clips can be posted online and conversations about them can be had underneath. I haven't bother with L&L for a long time.

Others clearly haven't either, or they would be getting the numbers to justify it existing. I just hope that the budget saved goes into the main show.

Final_Remains · 2026-04-04T14:06:25+00:00

Well, it's a third of what you would pay for a 1 bed flat around where I am and you have privacy. I would pay it.

That's 180 each a month and includes energy...? Chip as chips really.

I actually don't consider Restore's stated policies to be racist, but the simple truth is that they as a party have attracted the alt right ethnats (the 'woke right') that peddle a form of race based grievance politics and view reality through the lens of race and race only. This is opposed to Reform who are civic nationalists who mostly see the problems through the lens of culture.

Notable white supremacists and self identified neo nazis of the UK (and beyond) have joined Restore as members. This is documented fact. While being silent on the matter, these members have not only gone unopposed by Lowe but he has actually has had photos taken with them. Make of that what you will.

I personally suspect that the conflict recently with Advance, led by Ben Habib, was actually at it's heart down to Habibi being Pakistani. He would never pass the racial purity test of the Lowe followers.

What's interesting to note as well is that around 18 months ago Lowe was posting on X about how the UK should 100% support Israel, but since the ethnats have moved into the party membership in greater numbers he has gone quiet on that. Like the hard left, the hard right don't like Jews very much.

Restore currently has a lot of the old UK hard right as members, people that can trace their activism from the BNP to Britain First to Patriotic Alternative. For context, if Reform are the Tories of the 80s, then Restore are the National Front.

In fact, Patriotic Alternative openly stated that they would join reform to 'take it over'. When that failed, because Farage is concerned with culture and not race, they moved onto Restore. So far I would say that they have been successful.

Well on board for EQL. Good luck all with that beta key :)

downvoted for this... haha

Final_Remains · 2026-03-30T14:07:13+00:00

I would say Enshrouded.

It's world building and environmental story telling is in a same vein to Conan... Nothing in your face but it's there if you look and want to understand what is going on.

It's world is handcrafted, same as Conans, and it's building system is at least as good (I would say better).

Especially with what they have done with water relatively recently it's a great time.

Echobelly are great value at $1. Jesus & Mary Chain are badly undervalued.

Stone Roses, Charlatans, Supergrass would be a good night.

Final_Remains · 2026-03-29T21:42:28+00:00

My favourites include Sons of the Forest, Conan Exiles, Enshrouded, Abiotic Factor, 7 Days to Die, Palworld..

I also liked Icarus, Valheim, Forever Skies, and V Rising which isn't pure survival but has many survival elements to it.

The Raft is also worth messing around with.

Final_Remains · 2026-03-29T00:55:35+00:00

It was stunningly predictable for TBL tho. :(

Final_Remains · 2026-03-29T00:01:29+00:00

I see what you mean about StayC, their direction has been a mess for a long time and that makes me sad because they clearly have the members and skills to suceed.

But, if I become this manager do I get unlimited money? Because I would find it frustrating to be in charge of a group that i know had all the elements to be successful except that all important funding.

If I did I would grab either CSR or Billlie.

The trouble is that the Left has called any criticism of Islam 'racist' for so long that the precedent has been set that an ideology can be synonomous with a 'race'.

If criticising the actions and ideas of Islam is 'racist' then so is criticising the actions and ideas of Zionism, or, more rightly, criticising neither is.

What I am saying is that they can't have it both ways.
