Gonna second the calls for Haken. Pareidoilia or Veil would be great tracks to start with.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation was a great release this year as well.

I'll also recommend The Ocean, who have a fun naming convention for their albums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPMrwSwl8is

Haven't been posting on here for a while because I've been busy getting involved in my local community stuff instead. Joining community orgs, writing/speaking to city council, meeting cool peeps, etc. Highly recommend it for anyone who feels like they have to engage in politics; the local level is where you can actually get heard and make a tangible difference.

I am back here though because the local urbanist discord I'm in has a bunch of Hexbear emojis in it and I want to give the culprit a big HELL YEAH!

If only there was video evidence of the creator of Star Wars explicitly stating that it drew direct inspiration from the Viet Cong vs American Empire.

Did you pet any dogs?

The population of Amerikka is very anti-American government right now. The American government has sponsored terrorism around the world.

Why do we not liberate America? The people would welcome us as heroes and it would reduce funding for terrorism around the world.

And here I am, doing it for free like a chump!

Was just gonna say, the new KGATLW album is killer!

he corrects the interviewer

That is James Fucking Cameron.

Ok Chat GPT, give me back my seat post.

Gander became famous on 9/11 because of the sheer number of flights it took in once we closed our airspace. People were like, taking airline passengers into their homes for dinner and shit. I know we're all irony-pilled around here but Gander genuinely made the world a better place in a time that looked pretty bleak for a lot of people.

Unless gay-jesus-probably is from Gander or something I don't know what to say.

In terms of cultural impact alone, it has to be the Halo series. 20 years ago now they revolutionized the fps genre. Their controller layout became the standard across all consoles. Their 2 weapon max carry limit, actual plot, wide open spaces, and community support were huge steps forward for the genre as well. Halo 2 was one of the first games to take advantage of Xbox live, and it really pioneered the console matchmaking scene. Not to mention that halo 2 was the best-selling entertainment OF ALL TIME. IT MADE MORE MONEY THAN TITANIC JAMES CAMERON WAS IN SHAMBLES.

The very first post. Wow.
