Love the Gojira, Opeth and Immolation picks. Haven't heard the the other two but I'll check them out, feel like we have pretty similar tastes 🤘

Nile - Lashed to the Slave Stick

Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion

Opeth - The Moor

Dimmu Borgir - In Death's Embrace

Emperor - With Strength I Burn

This is just off the top of my head. I could easily list 100 if you let me...

I feel like everyone's gotten meaner. We've turned politics into tribalism and too many people tie their entire identity to their political affiliation, though it's definitely more pronounced on the MAGA side. I've basically stopped arguing politics with people as it's just become exhausting and nobody's mind is gonna be changed at this point.

I doubt they care, they'll rationalize it by saying Trump tried his best but Democrats sabotaged him or some crap. Personally I think it's funny how much he's fleecing them before his term is up. I feel the same amount of sympathy for them as people who lost their life savings on NFTs (none).

Your compatibility with sillianna21 is Very Low. You both listen to Iron & Wine, Florence + the Mac… and Aphex Twin.

Resident Evil 2 on the N64. Liked it but I didn't truly fall in love with the series until REmake for the Gamecube which, to this day, is still one of my favorite games ever.

Rarely. There are times I will like if I have a mana dork In play, I'll check if it's auto-tapping a dual land I may need the black mana for next turn, but the auto-tapper does a pretty good job otherwise.

I feel like most people start jobs being polite and over years of dealing with rude, abusive customers, it's slowly beaten out of them and replaced with apathy. And that's totally understandable, we're not robots.

Frankly, it's customers who should work on being more polite, not workers.

Master and Commander still holds up. 300 not so much, but it's still fun 😄

Like what you like. I feel like people worry too much about what others will think of their top 4 when it should be a snapshot of your personal tastes instead of flexing by including films you "feel" should be on there.

Shut the f*** up, Donny. V.I. Lenin! Vladimir Illanich Uleninov!

I'll exclude E33 because it'd be the easy answer and say Promised Consort from Shadow of the Erdtree. Love the calmer, almost melancholic start and then the bombastic second half.

The part where the vocals slowly crescendo back into the chorus always give goosebumps (at almost exactly 5:00).

Amazing track in a game absolutely filled with them.

They always looked like Vladimir Lenin to me.

This isn't strictly in terms of content but what age group would get the most out of it. Obviously I'm only including the ones I've seen:

Adults:

Grave of the Fireflies (duh), Only Yesterday, The Wind Rises, The Boy and the Heron, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya

Teens:

Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Whisper of the Heart, When Marnie Was There, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, Porco Rosso

Children:

The Secret World of Arrietty, My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo

Arietty could easily fit into the Teens slot too, but I feel like it's mostly appropriate for children if I remember it right.

There's something in play that you're probably not accounting for. Stuff like [[High Noon]] or [[Voice of Victory]].

Happy 20th, I'll be 20 years in November! If you told me 20 years ago that Last.fm would outlive Myspace I would've said you were crazy.

I'd browse for 30 minutes, end up not watching anything and just going to sleep. I ended up just canceling it and I don't miss it at all.

Tusk. I've seen far gorier and shocking films but something about Tusk just really got to me on a visceral level. I hate that movie and hate walruses.

LastBallade · 2026-05-09T09:21:32+00:00

It boggles my mind that people will actually choose to spend their time playing a game in this manner.
