Can I get this with a few more pixels?

Ever since the first time I loaded it up on Genesis, the Streets of Rage 2 menu theme has been an all timer for me. It’s the perfect encapsulation of 90’s techno and sets the mood for one of the greatest beat ‘em ups of all time.

Thank you so much for the response. It was exactly what I was expecting and love every second of it. I have a family member who is a train fan and they had a similar reaction. There is some subtlety there you did miss though.

The image date was changed to the approximate date when Eugen Blueler published his first paper proposing the psychological concept of autism. It is also location set for Zurich, Sweden. So, it is a bit more than a shitpost and I certainly wasn’t going to burn anymore trees asking for something a little more accurate than a 2 sentence gpt prompt.

Thanks again for the information!

At least we’d have a much cooler president.

Not the exact answer you’re looking for, but a $500 Mac mini would be a fantastic solution. That or an entry level MacBook Air.

I run Linux on my desktop for most things but all my music production is done on MacBooks. If you want a turn key solution, this is the way.

Every vst, midi device and mixing console I have just works. Well worth the sub $1000 investment.

Hell, my touring setup runs off a 8 year old MacBook Pro you could likely pick up for under $400.

Theres no drink option other than overly hoppy IPA (gross, I know, but it is the pnw) and likely salmon on some mixed greens.

“Yeah, but what kind of Tarnished are you?”

It was surprisingly good. Not life changing but they had some messages and themes that they wanted to convey and did so pretty damn well.

Gets a little ahead of itself in moments but honestly, there are tons of far worse films released every year.

What the fuck.

Copy that. Found a drop on archive.org. Planning to grab it when I’m back home. Cheers friend!

Aww geez. Thanks for the summary duder. Been at a conference in the bay so kinda detached from it all. Gonna be wild if Fandom is the shitdicks that kill GB.

Fuck. Long time, first time. I’m a few episodes behind. Any additional info available? Links?

Thank you so much for the breakdown. I feel genuinely educated about something new and fascinating.

The concept of intentional exclusion sounds parallel to my experience as a metal head since childhood. There are times when we are the flavor of the day and others where we are being literally chased out of town (good times touring Utah with a band called fuck god in the face immediately after September 11, lol). But it is always a community that welcomes with a bit of gatekeeping. Sometimes a precious thing needs to be polished with a sneer.

The perspective on allyship is also interesting. I am never quite sure where to state my stance without appearing cloy or pandering. There’s an easy line between honesty and rainbow capitalism but it blurs a bit when you’re an individual who empathetically wants everyone to be able, safe and comfortable being the version of themselves they feel inside. Again, I think there’s another parallel between our communities.

The point on humor/irony or “evil” as you framed it is fun as well. In my simple understanding it’s akin to a statement of empowerment much the same as being a bad bitch. Love it. Be the Dr Evil you want to see in the world. Cpt Hammers be damned. (Not that a villain needs permission). I hope one day the status quo catches up to your virtue and you are all able to find new paths of decadent evil to engage in.

Cheers to that community. I will admire from afar and keep my mouth shut about it. Lest I spoil the delicious villainy for my own hetero purposes. But I will still perform in a mask and cape on stage at a crummy metal venue and raise a mental toast in our shared existence.

Have a fantastic day my friend!

Ok, I have an interest in a good faith conversation and realllllly hope we can do so about one of the “What This Isn’t” sections.

Please, bear with me if there is some obvious context that I am missing and understand I’m genuinely asking I’m good faith.

“A place for people who are straight and cis. Really can’t emphasize this one enough. I don’t care how nefarious or well-intentioned you are, you also need to be LGBTQIA+ in some way or another.”

This seems exclusionary to an entire group of allies and people who may find the ability to recognize something in the folks taking part in that community that allows them to be their true selves. It also feels a touch damning personally as someone who strives to practice tolerance and exceptance as a matter of course.

Is this in jest to keep with the villain motif? Is it a brand of humor and irony that I’m not privy to as a person outside of the community? Should I just accept its gate keeping as empowerment and move on?

I also understand you are likely not the author of the manifesto and not beholden to it’s message nor owe me an explanation. This is genuinely a question to expand my understanding of a world outside of my own as a (you guessed it) cis, 40 year old, white gun owner in America.

There was a demo reel of the spy as well that was incredible. I played untold hours of tfc. It is likely what made me a intellimouse fan (thumb buttons for both grenade types?! It was the future).

I truly miss conc grenades. There has never been a more versatile weapon in a game.

I hope so too!

I still get irrationally upset when there isn’t. But, if a game gives me a waterfall find (or 2, or 3 like Avowed) it will rocket to the top of my list.

Lived in a place that had a koi pond and waterfall fountain years ago. I placed a small adventurer and treasure chest behind it. Wonder if it’s still there.
