I love the attempt to draw people to the classic shock sites of old, but I simply have to complain about this sign:
Lemons are sour, not bitter. This should read “politics left you sour?” instead.

If you listen to any of them and have thoughts you want to express, feel free to let me know! I basically always love any excuse to talk about or listen to people talking about music I like.

Dunno if I go actively searching for difficult music, so I may not have the best answer for that specifically, but here are 5 albums I consider hidden gems or underappreciated:
Horse Bitch - RIP Pistachio
Tattle Tale - Sew True
Gaytheist - The Mustache Stays
Codefendants - This Is Crime Wave
Irist - Gloria (actually an EP, if you’ll allow it).
These probably won’t take you 5+ listens to appreciate, but I do think they’re smaller releases worthy of greater attention. Hopefully that’s close enough for you. ✌️

Understandable, except you forget that you and I are in fact different people with it sounds like radically different listening habits. Cheers ✌️

I have no kids, no pets, and a job where I can listen to music the entirety of my shifts while working. I have music on in some capacity probably an average of 12 hours a day. 4 albums a week, when listening to them each 6 six times, is a fraction of my listening.
Music listening is my primary “hobby” and interest.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 2 days ago:
I truly wonder where in my post I implied that I am drawing significant conclusions without giving something a good few listens. Again, I think you are making assumptions of my listening habits based on severly limited information presented to you.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 2 days ago:
This is making some significant assumptions, don’t you think? That I sample the buffet does not mean that I don’t also cherish and return to familiar recipes.

The game is fun, but it’s now a solo game where you occasionally team up non-socially with strangers to knock out goals, rather than being the massively social game it once was. Unfortunately I think those days are over forever.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 2 days ago:
…are people really paying for a music subscription service to listen to the same music on repeat? I pay a service because I listen to like at least 4 new albums every week, minimum.

I like visual novels well enough, I just think there’s a lot disingenuous about the presentation and marketing of Telltale’s products as anything but visual novels b
- Comment on Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop 1 week ago:
I will never understand the hype for Telltale. Wildly overrated, and they’re bullshit for calling their visual novels “adventure games.”
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 1 month ago:
Probably, but since I don’t own and have never touched a Steam Deck, but the question was directed at me, I could only honestly answer with my unawareness.
Seems weird as fuck to get downvoted for not knowing about a thing I don’t have experience with, but hey.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 1 month ago:
Dunno, I’m PC, sorry.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 1 month ago:
Man, you’ve got to dive into SDV mods.
Stardew is a great game, maybe an 8/10, but with mods it is an amazing game, 10/10.
- Comment on Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all 1 month ago:
Tbh I can barely believe that Modern Warfare has sold anywhere near as many units as Stardew.
Stardew is masterpiece, Modern Warfare is a video game.

My mind is reeling from the idea that there’s universal codes. I would have imagined that every retailer maintained their own inventory and codes.

I’m about to go on a trip so I only have a brief moment to answer this, I’m sorry, but here are some quick picks without having more context to go on:
fairly obvious: 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins Ain’t It Fun by Paramore Raspberry Beret by Prince Meant to Live by Switchfoot Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean Stop by the Spice Girls Super Bass by Nicki Minaj I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness Here It Goes Again by OK Go Electric Feel by MGMT
less obvious: Lost in the Supermarket by The Clash All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo Ever Fallen in Love by the Buzzcocks Maniac by Conan Gray Closer by Tegan and Sara I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc Disco Man by Remi Wolf Them Changes by Thundercat Cocoa Butter Kisses by Chance the Rapper Swing Life Away by Rise Against.
I tried to not give you anything too obscure, but if these are too obvious or if you have a theme or direction to narrow the field I can think on it more and get back to you in a few days, probably.

I actually teach the kids in my life that intent is more important than “magic naughty words,” so they can say bitch all they want so long as they aren’t being hateful. So maybe starting from the assumption that the status quo is reasonable and has merit isn’t the smartest idea?
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are two of my favorite games which I’m almost always down to replay.
Borderlands 3 has solid enough gameplay, but absolutely shit all over the storyline and characters.
- Comment on She's a keeper 2 months ago:
Very valid points. And frankly if I’m being honest with myself, I think I know this is ultimately a losing battle, as this is a field where perception is king, and I guess I’m really just venting my frustration with the situation. I think we’re mostly all frustrated with it honestly, but it’s a bell we can’t really un-ring, so here we are. Cheers.

Yeah I’m not defending AI output here, it absolutely follows awful and easily recognizable tropes. I’m just trying to fight against the current “em dash = AI” bullshit because, again, real people use real grammar. And people have been using non-LLM spelling & grammar checks which push syntax like em dashes forever; are we to assume that people suddenly stopped using these non-“smart” tools?
Rally against AI slop all you want, I support you, it’s just the promotion of the dumbed down reductive takes like em dashes or semicolons are indicative of AI.
- Comment on She's a keeper 2 months ago:
Real people use em dashes — the models were trained on real human output after all — so this new crusade against em dashes as the Mark of Beast for AI has always been and continues to be silly.

I mean as a guy I think the dude looks easily 100x better in the “before” pic. I don’t know who this dude is at all, but that before pic is already a perfectly comfortable, healthy-looking body. Before looks approachable and friendly, while still healthy. After looks high-effort and very motivated; that’s a lot for some people. A lot of people want somebody they can relax on the couch with popcorn with, not somebody who is gonna wake up every 6am to go running.
