Thanks to needing more gym music, we can now add Nemophila to that list. B-tier because I hate growled vocals in metal. All their songs without vocal growling are great. The ones with them are, by and large, not.

Over the last year or so I started listening to some Japanese bands. Here's my tier list of my experience. S-Tier SCANDAL: Single-handedly revived my interest in rock music. Not a single bad album. They basically rocketed to international popularity and it's easy to see why. BAND-MAID...

Some reviews of a bunch of different animes I've watched lately and mostly liked. Multiple posts as I get the time to write them. Rascal Does Not Dream Great sort-of-science-fiction show. The characters and the situations were wonderful. I don't know if it's meant or not, but it reads to me as...

Kidney stone. The nurse (a woman! I would not have made that comparison!) compared it to giving birth.

This has absolutely wrecked me. Her, Veronica Taylor, Eric Stuart, and (outside of Pokemon) Tiffany Grant *were* anime for me growing up. Even though I've never known the actual person, this feels like losing a big sister. I'm devastated. I've started a new morning tradition of watching an...

The news about Rachael Lillis has me absolutely shaken. She's only a few years older than I am; she was bringing Pokemon to life with her voice while I was a kid enjoying it. Her, Veronica Taylor (Ash), and Tiffany Grant (many anime) basically *were* anime for me, growing up.

In terms of just pure realistic train simulation, how does Trainz stack up against Dovetail's stuff (Train Simulator...I guess it's called classic now? And Train Sim World 4)? I mostly know Dovetail from them taking over ownership of Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Finally got a name of what I've been dealing with for just over 16 years now: chronophobia. Supposedly more common in prisoners (which I'm not) and people nearing the end of their life (which, hopefully, I am not). But can hit anyone. Unfortunately, it is a physical impossibility to avoid the...

Rillaboom is weak without choice band. Drum beating is even weaker. You want choice band, and you want wood hammer. You'll become a better player if you learn how to properly use these, as well.

Good job Salazzle you did it, top 100. Thanks recent bans! edit: Recent bans let me put Stealth Rock over Block on Garganacl, and Ice Spinner over Stealth Rock on Tusk.

Isn't this just an extension of fanfiction?

I specifically didn't put a name link on this because I'm not trying to call this person out, and I explicitly don't want to strawman them. I have seen this "stolen" wording a lot, and I think a lot of the people who use it have some very incompatible opinions about fanart featuring copyrighted...

Anyone who thinks that current AI art is limited to hyperrealistic and heavily lit stuff needs to change the prompt. That's what you're seeing as examples of AI art because that's what popular and people are uncreative. Ironically, just like a mass-market artistic trend.
