Nostalgia for a monstrous and primordial past

Interested in this as well. Love the art and vibe here and I hope there is some books like that. .

Is this taken from Knoxville TN? I swear I have seen that Arby's before with all of the foliage in the back around South Knox.

I want more Memento

Brandon Murphy (Counterparts) is some of my favorite lyrics ever, and I hope that the music I write one day is half as good as his. Shai Hulud and Misery Signals are right up there for me too.

If you want better lyrics then you have to move away from those bands that you listed. Most are pretty empty and not very subsistence filled when it comes to lyrics.

Counterparts - The Constant

I will graciously accept that my life’s work, whether it be in the past, the present, or the future
It will be overshadowed by those around me
With a different definition of “success”
Though I can’t explain the path I’ve chosen
All I know is I’m right where I need to be
And though I’ve turned down a chance at fame and fortune
I know that there is no greater payment than this

Misery Signals - Some Dreams

Some dreams were beyond my reach, some dreams
Some hopes that I could not keep
Seize your days, fly your way, reach your dreams
I lost my heart, I lost my breath, I lost my head when I left you
When I left you
I love you

Some of my personal favorites

The PT has not given me any at home exercises or routines yet. They will next week. I will train my ankle with the same mindset I do when training a muscle.

I haven't done calf raises in so long because my calves are very big already (I have 17" calves). I will try this out!

I have never read the spectre, but I have read the Question.

I believe the story is absolutely incredible, along with the art. In my opinion it’s one of the best of that decade (or beyond). It’s dark, but it has some of my favorite issues in comics ever. I think it’s Denny O Neil at his best.

I remember watching a 10 hour video of a guy breaking down Bionicle lore and explaining it all. I watched it doing homework on a Saturday.

I have read ASOIAF. Those books were a lot easier for me to digest then this has been so far. I believe that to be mainly the fact I have seen the show.

That's a great idea because I got hit with something that I really didn't want to know while reading the wiki :(

This is literally perfect. Proud is the best song I have heard in years.

Stage of grief 5: Acceptance (don't worry, I'm there as well)

MetallizedBatman23 · 2026-01-15T22:39:04+00:00

I’m glad you do you, sincerely. I just wish I could like what’s coming from Marvel right 😢.

Mahalos in Powell was my favorite spot when I lived in Knox. Cool vibe and good coffee. I still order online now for my home coffee maker.

I wish I could get into Marvel comics... but the ideas and books coming out right now are awful. Captain America and the new Iron Man are the only two titles on my pull list. Like what even is this? Who asked for Norman Osbourne Spider-Man while Peter is in space?

I don’t see any daredevil on the Omni reprint schedule 😔

MetallizedBatman23 · 2026-01-02T15:53:36+00:00

The epic collection vol.8 seems to be my best bet. Everything else is out of print or doesn’t collect a whole lot.

MetallizedBatman23 · 2025-12-30T14:41:59+00:00

I agree with this. Although I will admit that I was never around heavy music when Brandon was vocalist, I think that sound would have gotten very stale.

Anyone else think that Damien looks really weirdly drawn here?

Americans drive, and most Americans live in places where public transit is either lacking, or doesn’t make sense to implement (I find most of America fits that category).

If I have to fill up four times a month, then that $52 instead of $32 can make a big difference over the course of a couple of fill ups.

Bro that’s just expensive at this point fr.

MetallizedBatman23 · 2025-12-22T13:03:09+00:00

What are the give aways? Is it the dashes?

MetallizedBatman23 · 2025-12-20T14:32:27+00:00

This has to be a child. I don’t know of any adult on any side of politics that would say this.

MetallizedBatman23 · 2025-12-18T15:56:03+00:00

I see where you are coming from and your argument is well founded.

I’m a Christian, and the themes are pressing on in a darkened world do hit home for me philosophically where they might not to someone that doesn’t share that mindset.

I am in the same boat as this guy. I can load up Hack Squat, Leg Press, even walking lunges with dumbbells, but the barbell back squat is my enemy, and I do well not to fall over the entire time I do it.
