I just have this on repeat.
Movies that would/could not be made today?

quoting sisyphus:
Heathers. I love that move but it didn't age well in light of the school shootings problem in america
It's hardly the movie's fault that our society is creating kids angry enough to make life imitate ...

I've been reading a bunch of shorts by C. L. Moore because of this post. Apparently he originally posted this on Reddit's r/fantasy. Dude can't write for shit but he seems to have read ...
Any good music blogs?
by macguyvermectin in music on feb 22, 2023
I've got Angry Metal Guy in my RSS reader. Pickings are kinda slim lately, since most of the releases are death metal and I'm more a doom/prog/power metal fan.
Popular MMOs
by macguyvermectin in video games on feb 22, 2023
I've only been playing Final Fantasy XIV. I'm not into it because it's a MMO, but because I'm basically a Final Fantasy stan. I'm a healer main but I can also tank and DPS, and I don't do much high-end raiding. You're more likely to find me helping newbies ...

a goon (in 2023) trying and failing to explain hopkin green frog to a zoomer
Profile pic checks out.
(I'm GenX, not zoomer. I just frequented Fark instead of SA back in the day.)

quoting RevD:
Once I am home I will grab the marinade recipe if you want to try it and post if for you. You can let it marinade as little as 1 hour but I like to let it go overnight.
Please do. I doubt I'd be the only ...
Portable Software

Software you can run off a USB stick is a godsend if you don't have access to your own computer for whatever reason.
on second thought, american psycho is kinda pretentious
by macguyvermectin in tv, film, and video on feb 17, 2023
quoting partly_cloudy:
the movie is a fun watch, but god dam did the director make the film a bit pretentious
I figured the movie came off as pretentious because Patrick Bateman himself was both the epitome of pretentious ...

quoting brightbeach:
Can definitely vouch for Judgment and Ghost of Tsushima if you're looking for something excellent to play.
I'm generally a From Software fan (ever since King's Field on the PS1) but I honestly think ...
SA refugee zone

quoting Lowtax:
Yep. SA itself went back and forth hiding various forums from public view basically the whole time.
So I understand, though I was never a goon myself. I also understand that the founders of KF had been ...
Video Games & Time
by macguyvermectin in video games on feb 17, 2023
That's one of the reasons I like FFXIV. If you're caught up on the story (Main Scenario Quests) and you aren't involved in extreme raids or PVP or using FFXIV as a 3D chatroom, you can do a few dailies and then log out. There's no sense of obligation to ...

i don't understand why some sites like this hide all their content from unreg-ed users
I have a hypothesis in two words: kiwi farms.
Not that a registration wall necessarily stops such people, ...

<quoting=RevD postID=272 threadID=7>I do this on the regular but I use pork and a recipe from an old Chinese food cookbook from like the 70s. Cook in the oven while basting for about 30 minutes and comes out super tender. From there I go the full pork ...

My INT and WIS are high enough for me to understand why tech workers need a union. Unfortunately, CHA is my dump stat so I can't persuade anybody else.

Nothing fancy, and only makes sense if you've read the Acts of Caine.

Videogame ost
by macguyvermectin in video games on feb 17, 2023
I play Final Fantasy XIV for the story, and for the symphonic power metal.
what have you been listening to?
by macguyvermectin in music on feb 17, 2023
I've had "Voice" by Hiromi Uehara going lately. Also, "Acid Rain" by Liquid Tension Experiment.
Obligatory Metal :metal: Thread
by macguyvermectin in music on feb 17, 2023
While I'm thinking of it, The Weight of Remembrance by Tribunal is a hell of a debut if you're into doomy/gothy metal in the traditions of My Dying Bride or early Paradise Lost. I want ...
Obligatory Metal :metal: Thread
by macguyvermectin in music on feb 17, 2023
I've been banging my head to Battle Beast lately. Mainly their last three albums:
Bringer of Pain
No More Hollywood Endings
Circus of Doom
It's power metal, some of their biggest hits are Berserk filk, and they're big on synths and Europop hooks ...

Nothing special yet. Instead of coffee I caffeinate by making cold-brew matcha tea. 1/2 teaspoon of powdered matcha with a pinch of cinnamon and a tablespoon of honey in a 28oz blender bottle and chilled overnight is a hell of a lot cheaper than Starbucks ...
tech interviewing is broken
by macguyvermectin in software on feb 17, 2023
it's because these interviews filter for people who spend their free time practicing coding prompts and algorithms for fun. and people who work 9-5 jobs and have lives outside of work just don't do that
I wholly agree with this because I've been on ...
