Bandcamp link here - one of my all-time favourite VG soundtracks. Never heard anything like it before or since!
- Comment on Watching Joker: Folie à Deux, 37 mins in, I'm liking this! 1 week ago:
“Critically panned” means to receive a poor critical response. I tried looking for the etymology, but couldn’t find anything convincing… It seems to have started as something to do with panning for gold (i.e. using a literal pan to sift through dirt looking for gold flakes), but I can’t see where that shifted from “looking for small bits of good in mostly dirt” to “this straight up sucks”.
- Comment on FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means. 1 week ago:
I use FedEx for work, and our account has heavily discounted rates for Priority services - not for Economy. That’s what I assumed was happening here, until I saw that you were dealing with them as John Q Public.
- Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 5 weeks ago:
I doubt that the incinerator was big enough, and that’s what the “icky specifics” covers…
- Comment on How many floors are under an apartment on the second floor? (No basement) 8 months ago:
Makes sense for numbering floors - ground is zero. How many floors should there be between -1 and 2?
