truth bombs

journos shouting hype almost always translates to them being late to the party, and being convinced that if a band could get attention without them noticing, they must have been bamboozled by nefarious means

You don't understand - Bamboozled By Nefarious Means is the name of my band

why'd you name yourself after that shitty frank zappa song

why would you want to talk about modular synths instead of just playing the modular synths. in an ideal world everyone everywhere on the gender spectrum would be playing modular synths together and never talking about them

lol that thread got kinda dark there for a minute

I have very little confidence in my own taste, if someone on a messageboard posts that a thing I think is good is bad actually I get all kerfuffled

That's me to a tee. If you told me Slayer sucked today I'd get my tattoos removed

If someone on a messageboard posts that a thing I think is good is actually bad, I don't question my taste at all, I just assume the other person is normal.

i have been playing loads of roleplaying games over the last decade-ish trying to recapture the way i felt when i was 12 and despite lots of cool stuff being out there i am happy to report that feeling is ephemeral and tied directly to the powerlessness, imagination, time, and friendship that was only available at 12yo, it can never be recaptured alas.

Is this about ILX's halcyon days again?

Snark aside, that is incontrovertibly true, although in the process of chasing nostalgia in recent years I did end up discovering a few CRPGs (some old, others new) that fleetingly recaptured my teenage fascination with the Infinity Engine games. My natural inclination towards single-player CRPGs and continued willingness to suspend disbelief as a deliberate corrective to the killjoy that is academia no doubt helped lower the bar (I got my multi-player kicks from RTS's back in the day), as I've never experimented with tabletop campaigns (too demanding and too gregarious, not to mention my group of friends at the time wasn't interested anyway).

im the same, but with reading books

i'm the same, but with the entirety of day-to-day existence

Tbpf I'm the same, but with everything.

Fuck, beat me to it. Payback for hijacking your signature phrase, I'm sure.

I was making an obvious reference to the first post in this thread, as well as engaging in customary nostalgia for when this thread was better.

(getting older thoughts)

when i hear "30 years" i still automatically think of 1980. oof

Oh damn I made a very similar error just a couple of hours ago (how old is a person born 1984 vs 1994).

best thing about being a sports fan is having these realisations early and often

Let me introduce you to music podcasts

voodoo chili otm, listen to podcasts

Don't you be coming at me with your spoken words, I got me some meeuuusic to be listening to.

no one cares what shit music you listen to, but you should learn to read a room

think it's an old ilxor trolling tbh, in which case he is reading the room pretty well

As noted essayist Michel de Montaigne once put it, 'When I play with my troll, how do I know that she is not playing with me rather than I with her?'

well as Forsythe and Ford put it "life is the name of the game, and I want to play the game with you"

fuck whoever the troll is, obviously. but just as much, fuck these people.

Suggest the mods introduce a “it’s time to stop posting” timeout, cos some of you are really spending too much time here.

Guilty as charged btw.

I wasn’t thinking about you but it definitely applies :)
