@ryanpequin Work trip with a guy and his playlist was straight up linkin park, limp bizkit, puddle of mudd, incubus, godsmack, papa roach, drowning pool… NOTHING but nu metal. Every new track I was like, what-is-happening.
@drunkenwood I swear the guitars I’ve seen and played in the last few years have increasingly gone from dark brown to orange. I’ve read discussions on how to dye sapele darker. I guess when done right it’s fine, but the increasing trend of just leaving everything orange? 😑
@KenJennings Reminds me of my relationship advice to a friend who was engaged. “You’ll be absolutely right, but you’ll sound like a total dick. Sometimes it’s best just to drop it.”
@kibblesmith Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited away too. Set-up and pay-off were just poorly done, imo. Beautiful, but super clumsy. Kiki, Nausicaa, Laputa, and Mononoke by comparison are solid storys. (With N and L having the 80’s quirks of spelling out motivations and over-exposition.)
@catscarlett When I lived in Japan I’d always see like 4 teen boys or one middle aged guy smoking doing this outside of a convenience store. Everywhere. It’s like a tough guy thing.
@turtlekiosk Like the 2nd better. As any creative: writer, musician, artist… I prefer the partner UNDERSTAND me, even if it isn’t their cup of tea. “I make horror films. They understand the process, my approach, my history, my limitations, etc. etc., but don’t like horror.” Great. Bliss.
@eliopictures @DaveScheidt Lol. I ordered something like 25 disks from a shady eastern European operation in 1998. Stuff I knew I could never borrow or rent to copy (like Xenogears and Chrono Cross). I felt unholy power.
