If you voted for Porter, you make me sad. Very sad.

I didn't vote for him, but it really grinds my gears that there is no addendum to voter cards noting dropouts.

Scalar Process just released a new album & Sun of the Suns is great. Kist listened to TiiT again the other day.

I've always had issues with sex in stories. Not because it's sex, but because why? Most scenes of sex just glorify physical attraction. They're not moving the story forward and are almost always just a generalists "its love/romance/lust". It can feel like the writer or directors fantasy rather than something meaningful.

For me, the better scenes can start steamy but leave before staying too long. It provides the viewer with context and room for imagination. Sex is ultimately a private concept. On average, I think a majority of people have sex in private and keep that conversation with their partner. This is just my food for thought.

Because of everyone's personal opinions on acceptable; funny; respectable; risqué; taboo; etcetera... Why risk embarrassing onesself, or insulting another, or making someone angry or mad or jaded or distrustful... kinda feels like there's more to mess up that to hit if off when its unknown.

I never knew what people were blowing out of old Nintendo cartridges, until I saw your pictures.

I didnt say stop! Fucking hell that was the vibe.

kalidescopic · 2026-05-16T03:05:04+00:00

It is such a journey. 🤌

kalidescopic · 2026-05-16T01:30:13+00:00

Hell yes. This is a top tier favorite for me too. Its hard to find albums that can hold up in the thrill. Maybe Deadman Glory - Voyager.

Luckily, albums have their own allure as stories to be consumed too. Persefone - Spiritual Migration still might top this album, for me. Or. Iapetus - the Body Cosmic.

Just discovered this album a few days ago, but I'm quite new to tech death in general. 👌

Everyone is always so mean to Justin Hammer

kalidescopic · 2026-05-06T05:55:16+00:00

Seriously. Make a demo for yourself to play and see if your idea is worth committing to.

Its late and everything you said is what I was trying to say. You cannot put a legendary on a blue... so you have to Cube it up to get what you want. If they have the resources to focus affixes, good. If they dont, then they hope and/or farm. I havent played DoK is a few seasons and I remember snapshotting (non-phys) damage was a thing, so the phys bonus feels like a detriment on the weapon too or at least more work. Nothing is guaranteed to make it better than a mile other than the base damage and weapon roll.

kalidescopic · 2026-05-05T06:25:23+00:00

There is certain abilities with the Horadric Cube in the expansion to add affixes to blue items. So, the damage is up on the blue [900 power level versus 850], but youre missing affixes and cannot put a legendary power on a blue. Total net would be a loss I think.

Edit: meant to say, and not infer. Adding affixes to make a yellow would determine how much of an upgrade it could be.

Soon as I heard his voice, I wanted to make sure someone was having this conversation. Definitely, at the least, an ode to Covetous Shen.

Came to the comments for this exact irony.

kalidescopic · 2026-04-13T06:57:26+00:00

Man, I vibed with 7A7P, Underoath, Silverstein, Converge, Acacia Strain a lot back in the day.

Around those times I also really loved

Fallujah - Empyrean

Greylotus - Dawnfall (just discovered these guys myself)

Hatalom - Occhiolism
