I can’t say for certain they are but I’m of the same generation as him and grew up around conservatives that considered that type of “America at any cost” media to be sacred texts.

When you scratch the surface on it, it’s all just thinly veiled jingoism in a glossy suit. Hence homeboys desire here to have a “cool guy” jacket with unearned valor on it.

It’s 100% about the optics at the photo op after the real work has been done by someone trained and qualified.

Hot Shots - Part Douche: The 3th One

It’s moments like this where we can see how much copoganda really affected some people’s perspective on the world. I am willing to bet there is no small part of this person‘s reality that they don’t think is straight out of a Tom Clancy novel, and they are the forces of good and justice.

I guess being realistic with where we are now, straight out of an Amazon TV Tom Clancy series.

Beyond Oasis on the Genesis should fit the bill.

Love that Lovage baby. That album is a gem.

I always think of Dunbar’s Number when talking to people about large friend groups on social media.

It’s worth using as a tool to understand what 800 friends might actually mean in reality.

I’d really like to hope it’s a genuine effort to preserve history.

There’s a lot of history on Steam and losing it to dead os’es sucks. I know my account has a few hundred games that are a pain in the ass to get running on modern hardware without PCGamingWiki, ModDB, Widescreen Gaming Forums, etc…

Be cool to have them plug and play under proton.

You’d have the exact same 100% response for how I met your mother as well.

Here’s a couple to try!

Gruesome - they fully embrace that era and ape it pretty well.

Cryptopsy - a bit more tech death but lots of that Chuck style guitar work.

Tomb Mold - these guys rip live, are named after a bloodborne item and make sweet ass old school death metal.

Undeath - another band that keeps the classic death metal spirit alive. The production on this album is pure early 90’s Florida. They also fucking destroy live.

Cheers! Hope you enjoy.

If you have some examples, I might have some recommendations. Mainstream popularity is a weird thing now as there are more listeners for every genre. Metal is where I have spent most of my life being a fan so I may have something in the bank you’d like.

Recently caught “grandson” live. Bob Vylan was supposed to be their touring partner but then… facism. They’re not traditional punk in their sound but carry a lot of those ethos lyrically. The more recent stuff is like modern rage against the machine (and the show felt like those did way back)

Anyways, it was really inspiring to see a new generation embracing those ideas and sharing in them communally.

Thanks for the kind response. I feel the downvotes are somewhat justified, I was engaging in a little bit of classic trolling. I have worked in tech-support long enough to have been sent and referenced several xkcd comics.

And unfortunately, not throwing a /s On my initial comment led to it whooshing right past a fair number of people apparently

Cheers friend! Have a great day.

What’s xdkc?!

Kid Rock makes music for people that know the age of consent in every state.

How are people in a gaming community on lemmy unaware of what this is? These comments are ridiculous.

Survival crafting. I spend my real life days trying to keep up on sheltering and feeding myself. I don’t want to “relax” by punching trees to make a fire to cook a bird I punched to death.

The pervasiveness of this in every game has limited the content I engage with the last 10 or so years. Everyone started chasing that Minecraft money and now it’s Ubi-fied into just about every mainstream title.

I don’t want to forge new weapons. I want to find them in a chest or earn them by killing a boss. I have bounced off of so many games the moment they ask me to learn a system of crafting. Keep that in it’s own genre and stop padding games out with repetitive busy work.

They did this in Portland during the pandemic. It lasted for about 2 1/2 weeks before they were sued into closing.
Fucking corpo shit bags.

Go away, baitin.

Just saw him on tour last week and it was great.

I run Linux on my regular systems with an occasional dabble in reaper on it.

On the flip side, I run ableton on Mac for a couple of touring projects and could never move off of it.

Reaper is a fantastic tool, I’ve had a license for years and really respect what they’re doing. But if you’re doing anything besides home production for fun, it’s just not there yet.
