You never forget your first

I don't love their decision to defederate hexbear, but otherwise I like this instance.

Not to say I don't understand their reasoning for defederating, because I do, I just prefer as little defeds as possible aside from corporate influence (fuck threads)

I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.

I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.

I've seen a lot of variations of the trolley problem, and this is the first time I've ever heard the "heavy man." It also makes zero sense, because a heavy man would do nothing to a trolley.

I have severe anxiety too. It is an unfortunate additional challenge, but it does not absolve us our part in society nor give us an excuse to treat others poorly.

I use Infinitebacklog, which is basically the video games version of what letterboxd is for films or rateyourmusic is for music

Bro I love Cryptopsy, their album None So Vile slays!

You don't call for a flag on the play when it's your team causing the penalty

Lol, imagine thinking you're allowed a momentary reprieve from advertising in this hellscape of a world we've built.

This has always been the point.

It has never been about which restroom trans people use, it was always been about being able to harass and vilify trans people.

The right doesn't want to just enforce gender binary, they want to erase anything and anyone that falls outside it.

Air is a gaseous fluid.

This is just how birds look at all of us.

If "everyone" keeps reading a sentiment you did not intend out of your message, perhaps it is time to consider that you are doing a poor job of communicating your point.

Or you're being disingenuous and just don't like being calling on your hissy fit.

I dunno, take your pick.

 

I'm not talking about the FASTEST, the LOWEST, or the MOST CHAOTIC song, but what's the HEAVIEST song you know?

I've been thinking about this for awhile because I've been trying to figure out why my choice feels so damn heavy to me. I know faster songs, I know more chaotic songs, I know more doomy downtempo atmospheric songs, but for some reason the way these elements come together in this song just feels so massive and crushing to me.

So with that being said, my pick for heaviest song is:

Tsukuyomi (feat. Travis Worland of Enterprise Earth) from Tsukuyomi: The Origin by Distant

Like I said, I know there are songs that are more way extreme in individual ways, but the way these elements come together in this song just feels so goddamn heavy to me - genuinely heavier than a lot of stuff people refer to as heavier.

Anyway, what's the heaviest song you know, or at least the heaviest song that readily comes to mind?

 

Albums are unranked between 2nd and 10th place and are alphabetical by artist instead, but I will list my top album of the year separately:

Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere > Crazy beautiful progressive death metal from space

Chapel of Disease - Echoes of Light > Melodic death metal meets prog rock, super beautiful and super original

Charli XCX - Brat > It's Brat, I don't need to tell you what this is.

Future Islands - People Who Aren't There Anymore > Great synthpop and maybe the coolest sound you might hear on mainstream radio right now

Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To > A basic choice, everyone loves this, but everyone loves it for a reason

Left to Suffer - Leap of Death > Hyper-melodic deathcore with nu metal sensibility; I think this album almost does for deathcore what Finch's What It Is to Burn did for post-hardcore or A Day to Remember did for metalcore

The Cure - Songs of a Lost World > Really unexpected to me, this is beautiful and is my current favorite The Cure album

Thou - Umbilical > Dense and emotionally weighty sludge doom metal from one of the best bands in the sound

Tyler, The Creator - Chromakopia > I'm a Tyler stan; this doesn't hit the heights of his best albums for me but is excellent still

And my top album of the year:

Bilmuri - AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS > Simply the best country, alt metal, post-hardcore, pop punk crossover album I've ever heard, even if admittedly that's an incredibly narrow field. Genuinely great, not just a novelty, AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS is without the question the album I've returned to the most, and I don't see any signs of tiring of it yet. Just a tremendous album.

Those were mine tops, but what did I miss? What were your top albums of 2024?

Or hey, if you hate any of my picks, feel free to tell me about that too, I'm cool with differing view points. It's just fun to talk music.

 

I've got no association with the game, any developers, publishers, whatever, I just really like the game a lot.

Of the pokemon-likes I've ever played, it's easily my favorite, in part because it's one of the most creative. In fact it's barely a pokemon-like, just taking the basic formula and then really doing their own thing with it.

Great story, great gameplay, great vibes, and decent (but not stellar) post-game.

Recommended for anyone who likes monster collector games or quirky indie games.

 

I just heard this song for the first time yesterday. The slow-down effect is cool and the chorus is hilarious as fuck. Definitely worth the listen
