Fuk that game. Atomic Heart is one of the few games I actually regret purchasing. You’re some kind of spy agent in russian dystopia. Clunky controls, and it just couldn’t be more unpleasant content.

I prefer to abandon the worlds and the designing. Be.

I applaud your worldbuilding, but you are making realities. Antireality involves letting all of that go.

Ya, but that’s fun. Too many words tho. Gotta learn to just be if you want to give up reality.

Bunch of labels being thrown around. How do you keep track? I just sorta identify them all as extremist crazies. Its one big group, that admittedly, if you put them all in one space, would definitely not mix well.

I’ve not looked up their history, but from what they say on stage, they’ve been playing together since they were kids. The music keeps changing. And its all about the music.

Downvote for bitching about toxicity.

I’m vain, and I vote.
You’ve been called out thoroughly here. Accept it. You’re wrong.
As well as being vain, I also say stupid shit on the internet. I find it’s a better practice to laugh and shrug it off when my bullshit goes awry.

Cool! I played a few of their youtubes. Several not great videos taken from the floor.
Their Blood Spirit Rising video is decent, and there I found a link to their latest album.
Much better sound quality. Its good.

Have a good time at the show! Take some pics.

There’s a lot to unpack there, but I can summarize by saying you’ve added some ideas for my ‘stoner rock’ word cloud for the comm header graphic. Thanks!

LOL. OK.
Yes, Nashville, not CA. I got that wrong. (Will fix my post.)
And I posted King Buffalo today as well! No, they aren’t the same … but there’s something there. Some link …
Funny shit man. Catch me lying. :]

I will work on the header graphic more. I know, its not perfect. I did it fast. The comm name needs to be a brighter color. I’m adding ‘noise rock’ and others to the list. Might use a different word cloud app if a better one turns up.
(Edit … this is done for now. Used a different color palette, transparent background, made an icon graphic too. There will be further changes.)

I have no idea how to manage a “who’s on tour” calendar. I would be happy to link to and contribute to someone else’s calendar. Or I could fukin make something. I’m a not very talented developer of sorts. But it would make a lot more sense to support someone else’s efforts. My coding is as bad as my artwork.

I’m still considering interviews. So far, I’ve discovered that if you go to the show, you can corner opening band members while they are selling merch. Bored band members that are quite glad to hear anyone is interested in them. I do not have my act together enough to yet consider video interviews. I’m not even sure I want my ugly mug on the internet. Much is still undecided there.

I believe you’ve provided the most coherent take on this subject. Well done.

Well, yes. Rural kids play with bugs and do all sorts of objectively horrible things to them. Because they are bugs. I am not trying to defend it, but yes, that’s normal.

That is odd as fuk. Really?

Don’t much care about the sensations that crickets, or even lobster may have.
On the other hand, I’ve spent a lot of time around cows. They know what’s going on. I love beef, but I could not kill a cow. Pigs are fukin smart, and I eat a lot of pork.
My perspective would certainly change if I wasn’t able to buy my food in nice clean packages. I might eat less meat if I had to kill it, but I really doubt I’d quit.

I don’t disagree with you, but there’s a body of research about plants’ reactions, and some of them certainly look more like pain than just accommodating to negative stimuli.

This is sad, but its going to happen quite a few more times before they really understand large scale gene editing. And even after they do understand it better, probably some percentage of the time its gonna go wrong.
