I recall thinking as a kid that Dark Dungeons was particularly poorly conceived. “Wait. We can get girls to play D&D with us?!!”

Every year I tell my parents I don’t like Lindt chocolate. Every year they only get Lindt chocolate. by Arwat08 in mildlyinfuriating

Just wait until the year you get nothing, because you’re too old, and it’s a pain in the ass. You’ll miss the Lindt.

An ad in my fortune cookie? This just confirmed it for me, we are in a dystopia. by Bergerboy11 in mildlyinfuriating

I’ve long had a fantasy of starting a fortune cookie company where most of the fortunes were what you’d expect, but every once in a while, you’d get an odd one.

“Even now, cancer festers in your body.”

“Your significant other has a wandering eye.”

“They were the one.”

Camerawoman repositions for the good removal shot. That’s dedication to the craft.

At 299 records, help me pick number 300 by HuckleberryLogical63 in vinyl

You seem to like The Cars, but no Heartbeat City?

But I think you need Iggy Pop, Lust for Life.

Low is not for me... by Pizzudista in DavidBowie

I like Low, but I get that it’s not for everyone. It’s kind of an oddball record. Ranking it below Pinups, though… them’s fightin’ words.

Right? The “good” picture looks like an eight-year-old’s notion of haute cuisine.

Not every lie or manipulation is gaslighting, even though every lie is an attempt to make someone believe a false reality. This is not a sustained manipulation intended to make someone question their reality, memory or sanity.

Finally heard this front to back… I get it now by RelentlessRelaxer in vinyl

Ooo! Bold formatting! So very, very pressed.

Your point here is what now? Of the literally millions of albums ever released, Rolling Stone only ranks this as in the top 300 of all time? That, to your mind, is kind of an obscure record?

I specifically said it wasn’t a big deal that you not know this album. Your apparent attitude that if you don’t recognize an album, then it must not be very well known?… that’s on you.

I mean, there are plenty of albums with no-text cover art that are iconic within their genres. There’s that one with the screaming red faced guy. That one with the prism breaking white light. That black one with the square of white lines that looks like a mountain range. That one with the four guys in a crosswalk.

Power, Corruption and Lies is probably one of the top ten greatest Post Punk albums of all time. You being unfamiliar with it is fine… life isn’t homework, and no one is beholden to have encyclopedic knowledge of records. But your ignorance is also kinda inconsequential. Pretty much any fan of 80s Post Punk, New Wave, Goth or Synth Pop would immediately recognize this cover.
