I noticed my posts don't get submitted when I swear. I also don't post in this case, because sometimes you need to swear to make a point.

What the fucking fuck kind of panzie azzed question is this. If you can't handle a few fucking grown up words your life will just go down the shitter.
Don't be a whiny azzed biotch and ask such fucked up questions.

That is all.

oo1, in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?

Merry also means drunk - at least in common British English.
Therefore it is quite an easy state to attain either from the offy, or a few pubs tat are also open for a few hours in the afternoon.

Carvings by Orbit Culture

Found this in a Melodic Death Metal compilation video last week and can’t stop listening to it.

NoMoreCocaine,

I have to question putting Orbit Culture on a melodeath compilation. While it worked out for you, unless the one who made the compilation is trying to give curveballs to the listener, it’s a weird addition.

otter, in People who have made and successfully kept their New Year's resolution, what was it and how did you stay motivated?

People have lots of great tips for why resolutions fail and how to do them better

I heard another similar spin: pick a few areas of your life and have them be better than they are at the start of the year

Like say education or relationships with people, the goal is some kind of improvement by the end. You can go as big or as small within those afterwards.

Pizza_Rat, in People who have made and successfully kept their New Year's resolution, what was it and how did you stay motivated?

Start your resolution on December 1, and call the first month of progress a Christmas/Holiday present to yourself.

Clonk rage was a game that I wished got a new one, it was basically lemmings x worms x teraria where you would gather resources and avoid danger while trying to kill all your opponents clonks… so many memories of playing it multiplayer… it got open sourced a while ago, (open clonk) if your interested

__, in Lets start a new Lemmy holiday tradition. What's a song you've been digging lately?
  • A Long December (Counting Crows)
  • Soul Asylum's cover of Rhinestone Cowboy.

The former is ever relevant, the latter is somehow both a total reimagining of the song and true to the original.

Yeah, I date myself with both of those. Yeah, I was probs in HS for both of them.

That, and Good Riddance / Time of your Life (Greenday). I understand it was supposed to be a sarcastic dig at a woman. But that's not how audiences largely heard it, and it became the legit, totally unironic anthem of a certain generation that I am abs not a part of.

Also... There's a completely random punk band no one but me has ever heard of (Ruth Ruth), and their album Laughing Gallery has been by my side at some of my lowest points over the years. Wish I could let 'em know the impact they had in making sure I pushed through some of the worst periods.

I’m still bummed that the band Splashdown was screwed over by the music industry. They were too jazz for pop fans and too pop for jazz fans but had an amazing sound and a brilliant vocalist in Melissa Kaplan. They released a couple EPs and a brief album (Stars & Garters) before their major label debut Blueshift was permanently shelved.

They posted a goodbye collection of demos & b-sides before dissolving into Universal Hall Pass, Freezepop, and Anarchy Club.

Edit: Got nostalgic and searched for news - happy Sol Invictus to me I guess! splashdown1.bandcamp.com/track/metamorphosis

There’s also the Pine Salad Productions fan-dub of a few Dirty Pair and Macross episodes from the late-80s, I think? I had a 5th gen VHS of a few (“The Dirty Pair Does Dishes” was one). Insane dubs that were absurd and utterly unrelated to the actual plots or even characters. I thought they were hysterical when I was a young edgy person.

A friend found “remastered” versions a few years ago and…the humour has not aged well, to put it mildly. Watch at your own risk. Glad I’m no longer edgy I suppose.

purplemonkeymad,

I was literally thinking, splashdown would probably fit this threads theme well when I came to your post. I’m glad I’m not the only one who knows they existed.

The band is definitely greater than the sum of their (also exceptionally good) parts. I am saddened to hear about Adam’s health issues but selfishly delighted they’re back together and planning new releases.

When the band was dissolving after the Blueshift fiasco and Adam shut down the Castle Von Buhler label, I emailed him asking if there was any hope Blueshift would see the light of day. He apologised and said no. A week later, the Stars & Garters CD and a CD-R of Blueshift mysteriously landed in my mailbox. With no band, he had zero reason to pander to a fan base. He’s just a good person.
