With how insane everything is, it's very funny and cosmically fortuitous to have one single gargantuan snow storm drop on nearly all of the US and Canada on the same day at basically the same time. Yes, yes, climate, safety, etc. but let's all have a laugh about this, c'mon

the only reason AAA sci-fi games and major shows don’t use lots merzbow or zorn music is because their parents aren’t friends with the c-suite and main shareholders

it’s confusing to me how ambitious, atmospheric, open-world, immersive, quality AAA b video game projects like Cyberpunk 2077 will fumble something as effortless and mandatory as putting together an undeniably excellent soundtrack of tracks and in-game radio playlists

Nakadai is always such an effective counterpart to Mifune, because while they have a similar range and talent, Nakadai seems so naturally capable of tapping into coldness and distance which balances out Mifune’s fiery or warm qualities.

I’d totally believe that full contact fighting/sparring/boxing (done with newer improved safeguards for preventing CTE) is less harmful to brain health than regularly watching short-form videos on a phone

it’s always striking how the lore and narrative of the MGS games is drawn exactly from the conspiracy theories discussed here, yet this still doesn’t seem to be a mainstream cultural discussion (and it’s admittedly not an easy topic to broach given the audiences involved)
Henry Ford accused industrialist and statesman Bernard Baruch of being the secret Jewish dictator of the United States. When reporters asked Baruch for comment he said, "Now, boys, you wouldn't expect me to deny that would you?"

we like to think we're an intelligent and unique species, but most of us don't really come up with anything ourselves. our behaviors are acquired by copying the actions/habits of others, whereas notable intelligence actually conceives or develops new concepts and ideas.
