I use YouTube all the time and was legitimately thinking of subscribing to premium. Guess I’m sticking to ReVanced lol

oh jeez, didn’t realize it’s been that long!

I’ve been out of the custom ROM scene for a while, is Cyanogenmod still a thing? that shit was like magic on my Galaxy S4. I remember it getting really slow like a few months into having it only because of how damn bloated the OS was before flashing CM onto there.

I mentioned this one as well! Legitimately incredible performances on this one, would recommend to anyone even a little into their music or their musical style

There’s a couple that I really enjoy:

• Vulfpeck - Live at Madison Square Garden: I was never really one for live albums, more often than not I found it tough immersing myself in the music and the performance so I (wrongfully) write them off. But this album flipped a switch in my brain I didn’t even know I had, I could physically feel the energy from the band and the crowd, it’s seriously infectious! every single one of the musicians on stage brought their absolute A game, to the point where there’s several songs on the live album that I prefer over the studio versions (e.g. Funky Duck, Christmas in LA, 1612, Cory Wong)

• LCD Soundsystem - the long goodbye: I got into LCD Soundsystem a little after their touring hiatus, so I’d always listen to this one sad that I probably won’t be able to go to one of their live performances in the foreseeable future (I did get to see them at Re:Set though which was great!). Hearing the crowd go crazy during the drop in dance yrself clean is a religious experience! and all my friends is a song that’s always made me pretty emotional, so hearing it in a live setting always gets me going lol. Absolutely recommend this one to anyone who’s even remotely into their music.

Exactly!!! How are people just giving him a pass all the sudden? Have we forgotten who’s behind these apps and their track record with dealing with user data?

Serj Tankian has been all over the place! Since System of a Down disbanded (essentially), he’s done a couple rock albums, a classical album, a jazz album, has written a few movie scores, even featured in a Tech N9ne song. He’s done it all relatively well too! Guy’s super impressive and a big inspiration to me musically.

i am tired

Kinda dumb but some of the “obscure humor” (for a lack of a better term) subreddits I kinda miss, like r/comedyheaven, r/skamteboard, r/oldpeoplefacebook, etc. The meme communities I’ve found on the fediverse, while totally fine, don’t really scratch the same itch for me lol.

I still can’t make it through any of The Witcher games. Smooth and satisfying gameplay is super important for me to enjoy a game, and The Witcher has always felt slow, clunky, unintuitive, and super menu-heavy. I’m sure the story is great! But I just can’t get past its gameplay.

I actually just ended my subscription since I wasn’t watching their stuff enough 😅 I generally get a kick out of improv so I really enjoy Game Changer and Make Some Noise!

This might sound weird but Dark Souls 1 does give me a certain level of comfort, not sure what that says about me lol. I haven’t played it in a while but back then, creating new builds and trying out new weapons was really fun, and I got very accustomed to the game’s mechanics and its general progression and pathing. I could run through the whole game without even thinking about it. I’ll still go back to it every now and again and it still gives me that comfortable nostalgic feeling.

I really love That Trav Guy, he makes super interesting and entertaining videos on the history behind and gameplay of games and game series, his MegaMan X6 video got me to finally finish the game after struggling with it since I was like 6. I also follow him on Twitter and he just seems like a swell guy!

I just want to say I’m excited to be here! Feels like how message boards used to feel back in the day with the number of users not being crazy high like other social media platforms.
