Our new conservative overlords in Ontario are making sure renter protections are being eliminated at the same time theyre gutting healthcare and rolling back min wage/workers protections. I probably shouldnt be worried about getting a new game (or console) in the first place.

Yeah I knew it was coming eventually. I just really enjoy the Pokemon games for what they are: simple, easy to pick up/put down, fun, time wasters. Its either I waste 20 minutes of my spare time playing one or I read D&D and one is much worse for my health. :v:

There's also Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children which is basically a cartoon version of Pokemon.

I drive my kids nuts by telling them that the most powerful Pokemon is "Demon Chicken", that he strong against every type of pokemon and weak against no type, and the only move of his anyone knows about is "Infernal bok bok" that kills any enemy instantly. I bring it up at least once a week. They get so furious, it's great.

anime is not good
got drunk and watched some of the michael cohen testimony. why is he trying to convince us he's a cool dude? and how does cummings resist the urge to punch jim jordan in the face?

cohen is trying to convince the government to submit to doj a statement that he had shown substantial cooperation, to reduce his 3 year prison sentence, which is so long only because the judge found him to be uncooperative.

the hearing itself though was really funny too, between “mr chairman” repeated 80 times while cummings slams his hammer repeatedly, and him telling the last speaking democrat senator “hold up woman” it was a great insight into world’s first democracy. granted, it’s better organised than uk parliament, but so is my stairwell meeting that is a slow burning mafia game to rat out the gently caress leaving their garbage outside, not inside, the containers

i continue to be deeply impressed by aoc. her confident and incisive showing in the middle of a lot of mumbling grandstanding was impressive


also if i'm reading the latest news right, trump is cancelling his summit with north korea early and with no progress to show. utterly unreal, everytime i think i can't be surprised by the depths of this administration's incompetence i am proven wrong

(CNN) — First lady of Virginia Pam Northam handed cotton to young African-American children on a tour of the governor's mansion and asked them to imagine being slaves in the fields, the mother of one of the children alleged.

Leah Dozier Walker, a state employee who is the director of the Office of Equity and Community Engagement at the Virginia Department of Education, wrote to Pam Northam's office on Monday alleging that on a tour for state Senate pages, the first lady spoke in the mansion's kitchen cottage -- where slaves used to work -- and gave black pages, including Walker's eighth grade daughter, pieces of cotton. Walker's daughter has said she did not take the cotton.

"During the tour of the Mansion Cottage, (Walker's daughter) and two of her (fellow) pages were asked to hold cotton that the First Lady retrieved from a bowl on a nearby table," Walker wrote in the letter. "Mrs. Northam then asked these three pages (the only African-American pages in the program) if they could imagine what it must have been like to pick cotton all day."

A sympathetic audience is everything: it is the difference between experiencing a moment of profound and terrifying conviction of the presence of real diabolical power, and a bunch of drunk frat boys laughing at guys in Halloween costumes and raccoon makeup. We have had to endure fistfights over exactly this kind of difference while on the road during our storied history of touring as a battle-tested and serious black metal band, and we have quite literally bled and suffered for the luxury of taking ourselves seriously when we perform live.

So when I, who have been deactivated from social media for two months, do not book our shows, and do not follow our internet presence, was finally forwarded a flyer for the show, and saw bands from genres that aren’t even metal, and with names like “Neckbeard Deathcamp”, I was livid, and I lobbied to get us off this loving bill. With a name like that there can be little possibility that they are anything other than a joke band with no loyalty to, investment in, or even understanding of black metal as it is defined and practiced by us.

I have no opinion for or against joke bands per se, but, as I have just elaborated, this kind of fast and loose mixing of incompatible subgenres on a lineup is antithetical to creating and sustaining the particular atmosphere we need to pull off a convincing live performance. Few people would try and invite a comedian to do a bunch of toilet jokes as the eulogy at a funeral; to expect us to attempt to ply our solemn craft following a satire band is equally unworkable.

If I had known that the lineup was going to be this across-the-board, let alone with bands from not only incompatible but outright hostile approaches, I would have never wanted to do the show in the first place. It’s nothing personal. We’ve tried it before. It’s not worth it for us. I built a recording studio that was a massive altar dedicated to Satan, not because I’m in it for the laughs but because, whether or not you think I am a fool for doing so, I take our art seriously. Perhaps we are just idiots that any of us believes any of this poo poo, but even if so, we still do not owe one minute of our time lending the legitimacy of this band to a lineup of bands that not only don’t take their own art seriously but make what we do ten times more difficult to pull off convincingly.

After fielding a phone call from our vocalist the next afternoon, he informed me that there was a hurricane of flying gorilla poo poo breaking out on the internet over all this. As a result, I feel the necessity to point you all to the real culprit here. I am your man. If you want someone to hate, blame me. I was the one who most colorfully and vociferously expressed doubts about doing yet another show with a bunch of unsympathetic bands from incompatible genres.

To make matters even more absurd, I have since heard that this band are in fact Antifa trolls. I can’t speak to that rumor because I don’t know. What I do know is, whether they have a partisan agenda underlying their trolling or not, I was just not interested in flying halfway across the country, donning full ritual garb, lighting candles and incense and then attempting to convince an audience of strangers of the palpable presence of a terrifying spirit of cosmic evil indwelling the world, after waiting for the the fake-black-metal scene’s equivalent of Weird Al Yankovic to clear their rubber chickens off the stage.
