Critical posted:new depeche mode single just dropped for my fellow fans in here I've listened to this a bunch the past couple of days and had already been on a kick listening to 80s goth and new wave stuff all week, so today I'm just diving deeper and deeper into that pool. When I was 15 my friends and I got to see Depeche Mode on the heels of "The Singles 86-98" coming out. We were also super into Stabbing Westward at the time and they opened for them which was like the perfect show for my 15-year-old heart and brain.

Shard posted:I just saw the trailer for the new fast movie and lol it makes me giggle. I've never seen a single one but I kind of love that it exists. Because I like dumb fun things. I also like how every former villain becomes a friend like it's dragon ball. You owe it to yourself to watch them all. My partner went out of town for something a while back, a little before the last movie was coming out. I had never seen any of them and for whatever reason decided I'd use the week she was gone to watch them all. They are stupid fun at their best and boring at their worst, but you'll usually get some fun action scenes and always some hilariously bad acting and dialogue. F9 was the first movie we saw back in theaters and it was such a fun way to see one of those movies.

The Stroker Ace posted:I gave up on the second Last of Us because it was just too overwhelming during the beginning of the pandemic, but I’m able to enjoy the show for some reason. I loved the first game, really loved it but just couldn’t get into the second one. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get into the second game for the same reason, but for whatever reason escaping a plague in a video game where poo poo is just insane on so many different levels was enough to separate it from real life. I still don't think I need a show/movie/podcast that's about a more general pandemic or covid specifically, though. I have a simple dream of living a life like TV series Bill, pandemic or not.

I’m jealous of your day. Dang ole dags woke me until extra early and now I have to go snow blow our big rear end driveway of the ~8 of snow we got overnight, but after that I think I’m also on a “don’t do poo poo” schedule. I think my main plan is to drink coffee and mess around with my new track saw which both sound delightful to me.

Is Poltergeist technically a haunted house movie? What about Beetlejuice? The first Conjuring was really good despite the sequels going down the toilet, IMO. Evil Dead could be weird enough to be fun if they're not strictly into straight horror. It's probably too old, but The Uninvited is also really great – we accidentally watched it once when we thought we were watching The Innocents and were glad we did (The Innocents also kicks rear end). Also really loved The Changeling (1980).

Since moving to a small town without an Alamo Drafthouse, this is also my game plan. We’ve seen a bunch of cool movies with like 0-6 other people in the theater by picking weirdo times. Our winter tradition was to do a double feature with a friend of ours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Plus, our theater has a deal with a diner down the street to do a dinner and a movie deal where you get 2 movie tickets and a $20 gift card to the diner for $40. It rules.

The Stroker Ace posted:There’s this band I love called Iron Chic and one their lyrics is “there’s no answers so take a guess and make up the rest.” The older I get the more that rings true. I don’t think anyone knows what they’re doing totally. Hell yeah, Iron Chic buddy. Also have always loved seeing your Hot Water Music av. I turn 40 this year and I still don't know what the gently caress we're supposed to be doing. I don't know if my parents felt the same way. I have 2 older siblings and my mother & stepfather always just seemed to know what they were doing, but I'm sure a lot of it was a guessing game. Maybe less so once I was born since they had been through it with two kids already by then. Sometimes I think back to stuff like when we'd get hit with a major storm like a blizzard that dumps feet of snow on us and knocks out power and poo poo, and as a kid you just kind of trust that your parents know what they're doing and you're just excited about the snow and the days off from school. I'm sure they were freaking out and taking steps to prepare for stuff like that, I just never realized it or noticed it as a kid. As an adult, having to worry about and plan for and think about this stuff with our own home, I have to assume my parents also felt the same confusion and uncertainty about what to do at times. Maybe because my partner and I don't have, and aren't going to have, kids we can voice our concerns a little more freely because we don't need to make sure our kid doesn't freak out about us freaking out. I feel like there's also a weird suspended animation this generation is living in. Everything that was popular when we were kids just keeps getting recycled and becoming popular again and again, and like 80% of media consumption is based around nostalgia from when we were kids. I could be wrong since I didn't really live through the times in the same way, but I have to assume it wasn't like this for our parents when they were our age. For them, everything maybe felt like it was moving forward and you had to "put childish things away". For our generation, every corporation caters to us and sells us all of our childhood back to us. How could we ever really expect to feel grown and like "real adults" in those circumstances? I don't know. I think about this poo poo all of the time as this wall of text probably makes clear, but at the end of the day I think you've just got to do your best and live your life the best way you can. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go stare longingly at my VHS collection.

Shard posted:Yeah I have had to deal with city evacuations, 21 inch flooding, blackouts, tornadoes etc as an adult. I just want my kids to feel like everything is ok but that means taking it on my shoulders. Oh god now I'm remembering when I used to work for the state and actually evacuated Lake Charles and then when everyone was gone sped away from Hurricane Laura at 2 in the morning to get out of the blast zone. Jesus adulting It sucks real bad sometimes! When we moved into our first house in Texas, my partner went back home for a week to visit her family. Then Hurricane Harvey hit Texas. Where we were in Austin didn't get slammed like a lot of other places did, but there I was alone in a brand new house for the first time trying to figure out what I'd do if everything went sideways and I had to figure out a way to keep the house/pets safe or whatever. Luckily some neighbors helped me keep the newly planted tree in our front hard from blowing out of the ground and to who knows where. But, I didn't sleep for probably 3 days and just kept moving into different rooms of the house where the wind wasn't as loud banging against the walls of the house. At least when we had The Ultimate Freeze a couple years back in Austin, we were there together so we could tackle things and prepare together but poo poo. It's all hosed up!

Maybe we'll go see Renfield. Sorry you're having such a tough go of it, Kvantum. I hope things turn around for you and this is just a momentary setback before much better days ahead.

I put my tongue on a chin-up bar on the playground during recess as a child in the dead of New York winter. Nobody saw me as I panicked with my tongue stuck to the metal. I pulled it off and left my skin on the bar as I swallowed my blood the rest of the day. I decided I’d just say I bit my tongue sledding down a hill but never had to because nobody ever asked about it.

Eat My Fuc posted:There's the same amount, but I found cooking to be fun and it's more fun now because you can save recipes and don't have to remember them in your head. Also weapon degradation is even more inconsequential now because you can make a weapon out of anything that are better than the weapons you find, you can make fighter jets and mechs lol. Those both sound like nice improvements. The weapon combination thing seemed like it would help with degradation a bit. Maybe I’ll give it a shot!
