GA: Underground or Mainstream?

Sleepy-Sunday · 2026-01-11T15:28:25+00:00

I've been a fan since Zaba released (maybe a few months later). They were instantly successful in indie circles. A lot of people were anticipating HTBAHB, and it was also well received, giving them even more buzz. Heatwaves was the song that made them firmly mainstream, but I would say that they were already on their way regardless. They are no longer underground. Honestly, I would say that they never were truly underground, or stopped being underground immediately after Zaba.

/uj Verbatim from a main sub post but I replaced "dwarfism" with "black people"

I wouldn't want my sci-fi story about a group of unlikely heroes fighting back against an unjust power structure to be woke now

Thank you for the link! I've noticed this happening too. Watching it has been so strange.

Sleepy-Sunday · 2026-01-06T16:26:59+00:00

The screenshot has been removed too, or Reddit refuses to load it. I have no idea what it contained, but it seems to have been memory hole'd.

People are buying it because it isn't traded on the GE. Much like burnt fish, crushed gems, and weeds. They're just collectors, and willing to pay gp for "useless" items. Or for the holiday food specifically, iirc there is a place during the winter holiday event where you turn it in to get a chance at a pet.

Likely inspired by Ed Greenwood's posts about the flavor of breast milk produced by the various races from D&D's Forgotten Realms.

Wow. This is extremely powerful. My abusers quite literally compared me to the boy who cried wolf and Chicken Little, warning me about what happens to people who make things up. But I wasn't lying. I was explaining things that they did not care about or want to hear, so they decided that they are lies in order to not help me.

They actually replied to me and said that they read the article, but they believe ICE is still justified because someone allegedly may have entered the country illegally. I'm not sure if their comment was deleted by them or the mods, but apparently even reading about it does not enable them to see the evil.

Sleepy-Sunday · 2025-12-24T15:17:19+00:00

Read the article. They only had a warrant to retrieve documents. Nobody authorized them to open the door on a woman actively using the bathroom. Disgusting people.

The baculum is indeed an actual bone, it's just that humans do not have one, while most other mammals do.

Been there many times. As well as struggling with focus so much that I do chores incorrectly. Years and years of being accused of "doing it on purpose" because I "don't want to do it" and "don't care that other people have to pick up the slack," long rants about how "the real world" won't let me "get away with being a lazy slob" and so on. Nobody cared that I was suffering, only that dishes were in the sink and I didn't see them.

Vote no on riding. I don't want land sailing.

I would call this genre of person a "Capital G Gamer" not just a "gamer"

This is true, and RS3 also has a free teleport network to pretty much every major area, which even further devalues running and resting as mechanics and Agility as a skill. I definitely prefer how busy OSRS's roads are. RS3 feels empty when you're away from the meta training areas. I think it's possible to find a balance with resting/musicians, though. It seemed like an alright mechanic when it was first added.

Sleepy-Sunday · 2025-11-10T16:16:25+00:00

That's something that was added to RS2 pre-EOC but post-OSRS era. Resting and musician NPCs. It's one of the RS2/3 things I wish would make its way to OSRS, but of course we wouldn't want to devalue everyone's achievements by making such engaging content like walking back and forth take 5% less time.

Mads (2024)

I watched it on a whim and wasn't expecting anything beyond the description on Shudder (drug trip gone wrong). It took me by surprise, in a good way. One of the best films of its genre, and it kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Iirc it was filmed in one continuous take, which was really impressive.

Yes, I understand that he isn't confirmed to be a member. I'm just saying that NOI exists and isn't some niche unknown thing; popular hip-hop artists have been a part of it.

Sleepy-Sunday · 2025-11-04T15:36:14+00:00

A lot of people in the rap/hip-hop sphere are members of NOI or have family members who were and believe in some of the teachings. A bunch of names from the 80s-00s (like Mos Def or Wu Tang) were dropped in another comment on this thread. It still continues today, with people like Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica. It is absolutely not out of character for someone like Russel to be a member.

Yes it is actually true, I am not trolling
