loves to layer up does our momus

Is there something actually wrong with his eye or is the patch just an affectation?

something actually wrong

he lost an eye from an infection from an improperly stored contact lens iirc

all covered in depth on momuspedia

I suppose it can be both, now that I think about it.

Xpost he also covered it on here too!

Actually, he uncovered it on here too, thinking about it..

(ie, added a photo)

he did iirc

i definitely have thought about what i would do if i lost an eye: glass-eye like peter falk or eye-patch like momus?

momus is a talented guy.

Did not need reminding of his uncovering tbrh

he does have some vision in it iirc and had some surgery to make it a little better

Maybe Trayce was talking about some other uncovering.

i definitely have thought about what i would do if i lost an eye: glass-eye like peter falk or eye-patch like momus?

glass eye like charles dance in last action hero or gtfo imo

In which case, he is reminding us of something he did not need reminding of. xpost

I recall my bf of the time saying "whats this shit, it sounds like a B grade Pet Shop Boys" while I was playing "hairstyle of the devil".

your bf otm

real ilx history question: list the ilxors who started out on the sinister board, migrated here, and stuck around

Mandee was one of them, I think? Can't remember any others anymore.

n1ck dast00r?

pinefox?

Some of Starry / Tim / Carsmile Steve / Madchen / RJG ?

Not all of those stuck around.

neither did kat stevens, ricky t, alixxx, the barnet ape, etc etc

I still post very occasionally.

!!

Not all of those stuck around.

Alixxx was probably from sinister too - did Kat ever post here?

Kat was not Sinister. Grandpoint Genie was though!

pinefox still posts on ILB

Madchen still posts.

dastoor still posts also tho not under that name

I dunno how you define stuck around, but IIRC all the people Andrew listed posted here for years.

I thought you meant still posting.

he means stuck around in the sense of ended up not sticking around

Also, me.

hi there in orbit! :)

What is the cut off point for ILX history? What defined ILX this decade historically?

hmm beyond generally "mellowing out" it's hard to separate out from general changes in internet and discursive culture in the same period imo.

What is the cut off point for ILX history? the Luna incident

What defined ILX this decade historically? polls

the eternal now, signified by a lack of tumult (or relatively predictable tumult) in the lives of long-term posters

symptoms include drop-off in number of posters or frequency of posting as people end up more engaged in jobs/family/obligations, less interest in bombastic modes of argument, and the recycling of previous discourse around genre conventions

not being good or funny

What defined ILX this decade historically? trump, brexit, the golden state warriors, dmac complaining

yeah p much

but also some really great new/young posters who don't have as much of a "brand" b/c of not being involved in so much tumult.

radio button polls started in the late 00s no? like circa 06, 07 i wanna say. think ilm had pretty much polled every major label album ever released before 2010.

yeah I think you're right about the polls being earlier

there used to be FAPS like every single weekend I remember.

the elite dreams of ilx have basically been fully realized, nothing more to attain

there used to be FAPS like every single weekend I remember.

there still are, ppl just don't post about them
