will noisey have moved forward, done the work and fought like fuck?

it's on waypoint, their games vertical, what are they supposed to run

like, a few days ago people were calling out pitchfork for running political content that has nothing to do with music, and now here's a games site called out for running content about games

i feel like if you make a huge self-important statement about 'fighting like fuck' and then the best you can do to follow up is dribble out some tepid garbage about starting a band then you deserve to be clowned relentlessly from sea to shining sea

watch this next

compare & contrast

We're going to fight like fuck to use our platform here at Noisey to oppose everything Donald Trump and his administration represent. We're going to fight like fuck—because that's all we can do.

Unity is used by everyone from individuals to professional studios that make "AAA indies" like Firewatch and Gone Home. You can make basically any kind of game with Unity, and sure, it can look a little intimidating at first.

But the tutorials and community support are excellent.

the waypoint one is particularly egregious because it's literally a dull-as-dishwater guide to getting started on the basics of game-making topped and tailed with some boilerplate vague nonsense about telling your story in a world which is 'burning now', 'politically speaking'

not that 'throwing a diy rave' won't shake entrenched power structures to their very core in and of itself but still

if you aren't into that you can go for craft beer and the 100 indie rock song playlist

When starting a band, it's necessary to ask two important questions:

Why?
Specifically, why a band?

These questions are not jokes.

i know something right now that is a joke, it's a real knee-slapper

What all those immigrants about to be deported should really do is learn how to make an indie video game

repression quest

claiming the moral high ground via posting on a message board.

I did not know how to start band and I do now and it has been much more useful than my previous efforts

Let's make a game about starting a band!

claiming the moral high ground via posting on a message board.

claiming the moral high ground via replying to a post on a message board

repeat ad nauseam

except that nobody is making similar claims about posting to ilx afaict

I only make those claims to people IRL, FWIW

"Fight like fuck white supremacy and the deprivation of medical care for millions of Americans by creating a Spotify playlist of your favourite liquid neurofunk jams #resistance"

i think it's natural/honest for publications to reflect the conflicted/half-arsed/quasi-engaged approach to politics that the majority of their readers/ppl have, demanding consistency is nonsense

pretty cool of them to post an interview with uber-woke intersectional activist Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue

https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/at-the-end-of-the-world-with-nikki-sixx

At one point I ask Nikki Sixx what he would do if he had to live a completely different life. "My ultimate goal is to be a homeless street artist," Sixx says sarcastically as he gets out of the car. Before I can ask what he means, he gets pulled away, and disappears.

tbf he probably meant something very profound about fighting like fuck

I guess "fire that fuck" is a reasonable variation

fight like fuck with an interview wholly concerned with promoting a Vice TV show about two "prankster" musicians whose sole contribution to anything appears to be calling themselves Nirvanna the Band and existing as flotsam in the Toronto music scene.

Local hero. What makes Dan Burke Dan Burke?
Matt: Well, he's willing to fight for what's right, literally.

Jay: I also think there isn't a single young starting-up band in Toronto that doesn't cross paths with Dan Burke.

Matt: Dan Burke has been doing it for so long, that he's just, like cut, like he's like a leather piece of...

Jared: Toronto music.

Matt: He is! There's no bullshit with him. There's a video of it online, but the story is one time a band wouldn't leave the stage. They had gone over their allotted time, and the next band was starting to set up, but the other band wouldn't stop playing, and so Dan Burke punched one of the guys and then they started a huge fight. You can see this video on YouTube. Search up"Dan Burke fight." And then the bass player from the band breaks his bass over Dan Burke's head. You just think, "Jesus, Burke, you're a..." Anyway, he, he's not fucking around.

viva la resistance!

i searched up 'dan burke fight' and the first result was some mma match and the second was that vice article

i wonder if one of the first topics available to match on will be "white ppl"

The whole idea behind Hater was actually a joke, according to CEO Brendan Alper. He told the Cut that he thought of the app while thinking of sketch ideas, after he quit his job at Goldman Sachs to become a comedy writer.

lol

it's cool though that they were able to get some much-needed commentary from Macklemore

Lonely guy just thinking baout white supremacy haircuts

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4zzMFqUEAAUk1v.jpg

tbh I had a haircut like that pic last year and people just assumed I was friends with all the local anti-racist dudes who had been skinheads in the past

obviously changed my hairstyle before people decided I must be into third-wave ska

That headline is like the exact inverse to India.Arie's "I Am Not My Hair"

lol

please start a separate thread if they get 'neb to write a piece In Praise of the Blended Haircut

Cool how their editor-in-chief came at a Black woman music writer on some "angry Black woman" stereotype shit, really doing the work there!

We're going to fight like fuck to provide an outlet to artists and writers of color, to writers who are women, who are immigrants, who are Muslim, who are working class, and who are members of the LGBTQIA community

Let's get into the new album. Talk about what went into this lyrically first. You mentioned writing pseudo-political songs, was there a political element to this album?

Cuomo: Yeah, there's like a little current events stuff, a little. It's very, like all the songs are very... material. It's not so autobiographical. There's a lot of like, made up shit. There's like random stories and stuff and a lot of fiction. Some stuff that was going on at the time. The material lyrically and stuff is a lot different from each other.

https://noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/the-orwells-are-terrible-human-beings

not surprised that half the articles on noisey still white pseudo punk rockers w no convictions or aims beyond getting wasted

i suppose Chicago doesn't really have much political stuff to talk about these days...

is that a ref to a particular article or is noisey chicago-biased iyo

the Orwells (linked above) are from Chicago

they've always seemed like idiots. thought they'd grow up eventually...

ah

Fred Durst said of his own band's sound that "I know y'all be loving this shit right here" and the people did. They truly did love that shit. Let's all put on our caps, tilt them backwards, and reminisce on the glory days.

Phil is a nu-metal archivist.

It's a dirty job and nobody had to do it.

It's funny, every time I think people could not be any less interested in nu-metal in 2017, I come across someone who is really into Korn or Papa Roach or something and is continuing to follow 'em. It surprises me because even at the time I thought it'd be a passing fad that would be over within a few years and it wasn't surprised at all when that turned out to be the case, but also because I never expected the appeal of these bands to last beyond people's teenage years.
