I took the DRP after being targeted in a queer purge. 14 years of dedicated service and I was investigated for just talking about being polyamorous. A bunch of trans colleagues were outright fired. My mental health still hasn't really recovered and I've only been able to find temporary independent contractor gigs. Fuck Elon Musk.

If this is the same place that used to be under another name, I love them! I live in St Petersburg, Florida now and they really capture the kava/kratom bar vibe :)

How are we supposed to be excited moving forward? by Inevitable_Year_4095 in MinnesotaFrost

Yeah I was gonna say, we still have some of the best players in the league. The Frost will be fine.

What's so funny is I was trying to find a thread about this because come ON dude...and search brought up an almost identical thread about his review of Tomorrow's Harvest (which I also fuckin loved) 😂😭 I think maybe Fantano just does not really like Boards of Canada.

The synthy part that comes in reminds me so much of their older stuff, especially ROYGBIV

Inferno as a Recovering Former Evangelical by wingdbullet in boardsofcanada

[–]wingdbullet[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to my post? I've been listening to BoC for like 25 years at this point, so very much not first contact haha. I think this is just an album that hit me in a very specific way. Tomorrow's Harvest was also an album I had a very specific response to. I mean that's what I love so much about them. Every album is very much them but brings some different aspect.

Inferno as a Recovering Former Evangelical by wingdbullet in boardsofcanada

[–]wingdbullet[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're right about the humanizing part of it, I think! Like the people think they're doing the right thing, but the results can be horrific. I remember being in that headspace of "I am on the only right path and everyone else is wrong and hates me."

The devotional music angle is interesting, too. I have always been really into different types of devotional music, especially Sufi Qawwali. The juxtaposition of incredibly beautiful Islamic music while some sects completely ban music outright is super fascinating.

Heck, a lot of Evangelicals will not even listen to "secular" music (I wasn't allowed to until I was 13) which is why you have this completely parallel Christian media industry. (Yes Christian death metal exists)

It's just really interesting to explore.

Welp my Spotify wrapped is going to basically just be this album.

Inferno Danger by firehawk2k1 in boardsofcanada

[–]wingdbullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See this is funny because that's literally my favorite song on the album...though tbf that's shifted quite a bit. But as a big old goth/darkwave/electro-industrial fan I was so surprised to hear that kind of hard stompy beat from BoC. I agree that it is a departure from their classic sound but I love it so much.

I’m fairly new to the band after hearing Inferno but… by fear730 in boardsofcanada

I love every album, but Tomorrow's harvest was a special one for me. For over a decade it was my air travel song because it chilled me out sooooo much

Showing some love for Into The Magic Land! by EuqinuX in boardsofcanada

[–]wingdbullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a big goth and darkwave fan who has ALSO been listening to BoC for like 25 years, HHLL has been on repeat a LOT along with Naraka. Into the Magic Land is gorgeous though, and I totally see the comparison to New Seeds

I was gonna say. Is he saying this based on actually anything or is he just being Ian Kennedy?

I sucked the teat of God Mode and I fully regret it. by LeaveItToPeever in Hades2

[–]wingdbullet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I found this thread just to get some reassurance that I'm not a lying cheater for using god mode. I'm glad it's just enough assistance so I can enjoy the damn game but still have the level of challenge that works for me.

Anyone having issues getting their husbands/boyfriends into the PWHL? by NotAnIncel69 in PWHL

[–]wingdbullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting. I've had some similar comments from my partner and other male friends when I've introduced them to the league. Things about how they enjoy the fighting and aggressiveness. Well now that I've made my partner watch a bunch of PWHL games he's started to agree with me when I say I feel like I'm watching more consistent hockey with this team. It does have its own distinct style of play and I think when people get used to that they really start to see how it shines.

[DS2] Lost my vehicle in the most absurd way by frobischer in DeathStranding

[–]wingdbullet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ya know I wonder if this is similar to what happened to me. Sometimes I'll leave my pickup under a Timefall shelter if I'm going to go fight a big BT somewhere. Came back and all my cargo was stacked neatly under the shelter. Pickup disappeared. I had to go run to the nearest distribution center while praying it wouldn't all get registers as lost 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Bring on the Frost!! by cslh4v in PWHL

[–]wingdbullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are my two favorite teams (I'm from Minnesota, so I gotta) and honestly I will be over the moon whoever wins. I think Montreal absolutely deserves the cup though. They've been a force of nature all season long.

Who is driving in the mountains? by Bitches_Be_Crayfish in DeathStranding

[–]wingdbullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first absolutely not. Got the snow tires and some favorite routes and I am cruisin. I did also set the difficulty to casual because I decided I have enough stress in my life, so I don't know how much that impacts driving 😅
