I endorse this message. at least play until you meet majima Read more

counterpoint: anybody can be a furry if they want. in my head canon, every overwatch character is a furry, and YOU CAN’T TAKE THAT FROM ME Read more

actually, it means you instantly get prime status. same goes for anybody who previously bought the game Read more

I haven’t! I saw them open for circa survive a few weeks ago, though, and they crushed it. I’ve never fully been able to get into spoken-words-ish vocals, but I have a lot of respect for what la dispute does Read more

I’m seeing them next week! super bittersweet. going with a friend I first met at a minus the bear show years ago Read more

I nearly cried when steven wilson played it on his solo tour this year. gonna see him and his band again over the holidays, and not gonna lie: I will probably react the exact same way to the song again Read more

aw, thanks! and welcome to porcupine tree fansite (and occasional video game blog) kotaku dot com Read more

I have a proper diablo interview tomorrow, and I plan to ask! Read more

yeah, I keep trying to light arrows on fire in order to destroy war supplies, only for kassandra to catch on fire and start shouting “oh no aw man oh dang this ain’t great.” granted, it would be hilarious if I could then run to war supplies and use kassandra herself to light them on fire, but she’s usually back to Read more

exactly! I actually like that I can’t do anything about the plague itself. I don’t want to be able to magically whip up a cure or something. that’d remove all weight from the choice. but I’d like to be able to at least interact with some people affected by it—especially ones I know my character was close to. it’s odd Read more

afterman is up there for me, tied with GA 1, but my favorite changes constantly bc different albums fit different moods and serve as callbacks to different points in my life Read more

I agree completely! so many people are down on that album, but the songs are great and the lyrics really did a lot for me during a time when I was feeling some of the same growing pains in my own life (albeit sans the whole “becoming a dad” thing). it’s been three years since it came out, and peace to the mountain can Read more

I adored letlive, and I like what fever’s put out so far—but yeah, I really want a full album. Read more

their latest album is actually what got me into them! I’d say mindsweep is my favorite at this point (maybe tied with flash flood of color), but the spark is brilliant imo. it’s a really unique and consistent album sonically, and its message helped me through a tough time Read more

yeah, I got into this band because they sound like protest the hero, but this video is what really sold me. if your prog metal video doesn’t have a table-flipping yu-gi-oh guy, what are you even doing? Read more
