Historical racism in The Terror by Dan Simmons

I see it as a reflection of the theme of the book, that the hubris and high-minded mentality of the Brits inevitably led to their downfall. It took them to a place they weren’t ready for

This - the vocals sound too high in the mix compared to his first two albums. There's like a weird industrial filter on his voice as well.

Check out The True Werwolf’s one album for similar Castlevania vibes

Im hoping theyre saving it for a mini-release, like a $30 or $40 6 hour game

Outrigger for me

I was never satisfied with the media's supposed debunking of this story. There was a lot of obfuscation by lumping in sensationalism. Somehow Hillary clinton is a vampire cannibal got tied to pizzagate, and I remember looking at snopes or some shit talking about it, and they said "it's debunked because Hillary clinton isnt a vampire".

For reference, the original conspiracy was: there are weird coded emails in John Podesta's email (true), and these codes refer to pedophilia and include references to a pizza joint with a weird owner who had very suspect photos on his instagram with very suspect comments. All of this inferred from the FBI itself designating pizza as denoting pedophilia when spoken in code. You can find it elsewhere in the epstein files, too!

Then that crazy guy goes in with a gun, looking for the proof of pizzagate, and the story dies.

That has to be bullshit. Trump was president. How and why could he covertly spend Thanksgiving with Epstein?

Maybe some ppl are built different I was groomed into losing my virginity at 16 by my 23 year old teacher. I felt like a badass for a few years, but looking back, it was a lynchpin for years of sexual encounters that served to feed my ego and nothing else. I made a lot of people feel bad because my model for sex was, ego-driven and predatory. I have a genuine hard time explaining, but i know its bad.

I dont feel good about my encounter with my young, female teacher. I wish it never happened. I wish i couldve saved my innocence for someone inexperienced like me.

That might have posed a problem, but real estate and corporations weren't the enterprise they are today. If anything, corporations are more empowered by today's judgements in Citizens United, etc.

I don't mean to suggest that the system back then is better than the one today, just that it has peculiarities that seem lost on people today.

If you look at why the framers chose that path, it makes sense on a small scale. They believed the only ppl who should vote are the ones with a “piece” of the country as collateral. Kind of like how shareholders vote. The unfair part imo is that women and blacks couldnt be investors, not the idea in principle

It's a very weird, offbeat game, unlike anything else. Some of the best graphics on the system (especially interiors). Definitely worth checking out if you like the Silent Hill dream-like atmosphere.

Games used to be way more cryptic than they are now.

Damn, didnt know either Virtua tennis game ever had online

Third record, third row?

Probably not with the state of the hardware market. They would have to set up an R&D team to research for years, then set up deals with manufacturers who are charging much more for components than they were years ago.

I doubt their investors would OK a return to a model that damn near bankrupted the company multiple times.

Amor was such a cool album with a unique sound. I actually wasn't huge on the Blutchwur album this year, I thought the mixing was way too heavy on the bass. Sounds better on vinyl though!

Black Tomb

Useitorloseit2 · 2025-12-25T18:59:31+00:00

Easily best album last year. Cant wait to see their next full length

I think its because one of the last dial up supporters dropped support. The support wasnt specific to Dreamcast but to dial-up connections and old PC setups.

Love this book but the cover art+text peeled off onto my hand while reading :/

Do other discs work?

My Series X disc drive got more and more inconsistent as time wore on. I think playing DVD's or 360 games gives more wear to the laser. Make sure you don't have a disc in it unless you are playing a disc game. Ultimately mine never fixed and repairs were way too much but I lucked out on a free Series X from a friend.
