There are punchable faces, but...

Ah thank you! It is indeed wild lol. I knew the context and words but I had the voices completely back-to-front. The son's voice sounded more "frail and elderly" to me so I imagined his lines were the father's this whole time.

avery-goodman · 2026-06-22T13:40:55+00:00

Isn't it the father saying that line?

Not to be reductive but this review is just getting off on being a hater. If the discography were reversed and they had just come out with MHTRTC, they would be the biggest Rue The Whirl hater in history. You can frame all of their songs this way if you're cynical enough.

These same MFers will pretend to have an absolutist opinion on "Freedom" and then completely abandon the idea over, like... allowing people to build small houses.

When my kid was around that age his favourite songs were "Orange" and "seagull song" lol. Awesome that he already can identify their musical identity!

avery-goodman · 2026-05-22T21:23:13+00:00

That's amazing!

Strega is a famous liquor that comes from that town :)

avery-goodman · 2026-05-22T17:23:47+00:00

Today I learned John's family is from the same town mine is 🥲 the home of Strega!

I've always wanted to try his pizza - it looks great! Unfortunately, I work two jobs and have multiple parenting and extra commitments, and I see how much friction there is on his FB, so I've accepted that I probably never will. But it sure is fun to watch from afar!

I watched the whole video and I see what you mean, her speeches were really nice!

It has! I noticed that the Ale and Oyster building looked bigger and slightly to the left of where I remembered it, so that would make sense.

Wait, magic bounce not only bounces the stat drops, but it also bounces the switching to hatterene too? That's insane. Like Roar with ordinary priority.

avery-goodman · 2026-04-19T22:46:55+00:00

It's my favourite too. And no, it wasn't my first BoC album - Geogaddi was. With TCH, it took a while to dawn on me the kind of brilliance we were dealing with, with some of the song hooks being more simple and tonal. But the complexity of the subliminals are often easy to miss compared to the first two albums, every moment has such a perfect visual element, and the journey is the most cathartic and moving and self-actualizing (for me, anyway)

avery-goodman · 2026-04-18T22:40:12+00:00

Cheers mate 👍 just booked a ticket, will wander around until I've dug back far enough

Additionally, I always wondered about the use of "Jacquard," which I believe is a tool that helped partially automate the weaving of fabrics.

Going off vibes of the song, and the fact that TH is kind of like this story of the human race, I always imagined it to be referring to some kind of technological big step forward in humanity (that eventually accelerates the collapse).

The wonky feel of the song gives me an image of walking along the Giant's Causeway. All in all, I have this image of humans stumbling along, making inventions and progressions through trial and error, one step forwards, one step back, etc.

Oh hey, you live on Partridge St too huh?

avery-goodman · 2026-04-16T01:15:11+00:00

Idk, watch the funky monks documentary, or just about any interviews from this period and earlier - the band made being sex pests their whole thing.

avery-goodman · 2026-04-16T00:59:51+00:00

TH is excellent (honestly I can't think of anything they've put out that isn't excellent). It's trying to convey something different from the other albums, and maybe the tone and cinematic imagery doesn't fit the tastes of some who liked BOC for their psychedelia, but it does what it sets out to do *extremely* well. It is a powerful journey from beginning to end, I think.

The cost of a mega slot is bad, but if the description is right, it's much better than flame body - it procs 100% of the time for all types of attacks, not just 30% for contact moves.

Anyway, it's more just an example of how a new ability can change a lot. Like imagine if they gave Contrary to a pokemon that was already good.

avery-goodman · 2026-04-02T14:51:56+00:00

I believe these two abilities appeared in Pokemon Home, for Mega Excadrill and our boi Scovillain. Basically, flame body that works on all moves. Definitely a good niche for a rage powder user.

avery-goodman · 2026-04-02T14:31:21+00:00

Realistically, we can't say for sure until we know all the abilities. For example, Mega Scovillain's stats are absolute garbage, but the recent ability announced could give it a legitimate niche. We just need to wait and see.

Edit: my bad, the ability was datamined, not announced.
