Ugh. This one fucking hurts. 60 is no age at all, and he had fantastic range as both a dramatic and comedic actor, an immediately arresting screen presence, and that fucking voice. The instant you heard him, you knew who it was - it couldn't possibly have been anyone else. And there was such...

a3_MJnL_e9I it’s utterly baffling to me that this doesn’t have like, 100x the number of views and likes that it currently does. these arrangements and performances are sublime. and on an unrelated note… …as promised, since my copy of the LP finally came in yesterday, here’s the link to my...

Get a box of tissues, then sit down and strap in for this one. It’s nine and a half minutes long. The length isn’t the reason you need to strap in, though; you’ll be too busy dealing with a heavy emotional reaction from it. (content warning: frank discussion of thoughts of self-loathing...

Gene Clark – “Some Misunderstanding” I am genuinely salty that it took a wiki walk after David Crosby’s death (RIP, by the way) for me to find out about this album, No Other, and that I went 39 years of my life without hearing it once, and especially that no one even told me about it. I only...

thanks, everyone! :capmon: the tl;dr: I got a bachelor’s degree in IT/cybersecurity, have released a few remix/arrangement albums of game music and some original tracks, and have worked on several game mods, including one that got featured in PC Gamer. links: Most of my music See You Starside...

(wall of text incoming – would you really expect anything else?) So… hi. How has everyone been? It’s been a hot minute. :monster: I’d just planned to take a sabbatical until exams were over, then just… never found time to return. Whoops. :wackymonster: That said, I’ve had a productive last...

AIDS activist and playwright Larry Kramer, age 84, pneumonia. Here’s Dr Fauci, via Wikipedia: Kramer’s activism led to genuinely real, positive change in how government institutions dealt with a disease that far too many of them monumentally failed to deal properly with (hey, sounds...

I mean, I could stand to see a bit more. :monster: Final Fantasy VII (and its remake) aren’t the sort of games where you’d expect that, though. And just since I mentioned it earlier: I don’t know how XenForo handles these embeds, but if you click on this, you should get a playlist that...

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you! …as a call-back to an earlier post, I finally finished my own successful film of “Stone Temple Pilates”, so I’ll post it later if anyone cares :V

That would explain why we can't remember anything :wackymonster: Anyway I disagree with an assertion a few pages back that jealousy is necessarily “part of a healthy relationship”; in fact I would contend that it is 100% not a healthy emotion to feel, and in general, it can be a sign of...

just thought this thread should know that i am literally playing a level called Stone Temple PIlates as we speak. it’s very difficult and i keep dying :sadpanda: it’s a great level though. if i had a successful completion yet i’d post the video here :sadpanda: here’s the creator’s...

Nah I think I got what you mean. The thing is there are some concepts that just don’t translate entirely across languages. The German word Geist can just be translated as ghost or spirit or essence or a number of other words (it’s cognate to ghost, obviously), but there are so many connotations...

In case anyone is interested in my response, I’ll make it in a profile comment because yeah, don’t want to drag this even more off-topic and get yelled at lol. ETA: response here

My Spanish is fairly rusty as well, but I think you got it pretty close. I’d go with: “But… but whatever happens, don’t fall in love with me. Although you feel enamoured, it’s not real.” So some pretty minimal changes. (I try to use cognates wherever possible when translating, unless it feels...

XenForo is definitely nicer than a lot of the other forum software out there I’ve used. It’s missing a couple of amenities that the old vBulletin had, but I think (but can’t remember for sure) that some of those were probably hacks we installed, and I know a lot of them (e.g., all the custom...

This won’t help recover your missing post, but I recommend some sort of form recovery software like Lazarus to prevent issues like this from occurring in the future. Also try disabling the WYSIWYG editor if you’re experiencing browser crashes. It’s that gear icon at the top-right of the post...

Talking Heads – [Stop Making Sense #14] Girlfriend Is Better [5:11] it’s utterly beyond me how white people can be this funky – Tina in particular shines on this track (but then, when doesn’t she?) also, if you haven’t heard “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)” in a while, do yourself a...

i think people have gone out of their way to make this thread as welcoming as a thread dominated by people who share a particular opinion can be to people who don’t share that opinion, as long as the latter are not hostile about it and don’t repeat their arguments to the point of tedium. i mean...

If the thread's two pages long, sure. This already has more than a thousand posts, so that's not a realistic expectation. And: People are gonna repeat each other. It happens. Genuinely not a big deal. There have already been far more repetitive sections of this thread. Don't beat yourself up...

…particularly threads as long as this one. And maybe people forget what people said earlier on in them, especially if they’ve been going long enough. I don’t even remember what I’ve said in long threads half the time; how can I hope to remember what other people say? :wackymonster: Don’t take it...
