  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Although strictly speaking "Krautrock" is really a retroactive construct, a critical catchall term for the kind of experimental psychedelia that came out of Germany toward the beginning of the '70s.

    I am so bored and apathetic right now

    and I have been unable to make myself focus on one thing for like the past two days

    I keep opening games and then closing them or working on music for like two or three minutes at a time and it's just really frustrating like ugh.

    I have been in that place. Particularly recently.

    As it stands, I really want a glass of cola champagne soda. If you don't know what that is... explanations are difficult.

    I am going to collapse into a melting puddle of boredom and hatred for all humanity if SOMETHING GOOD doesn't happen soon

    Listen to some weird German psych-rock?

    We were talking about it earlier and music always makes me feel just that little bit better.

    ULTRA-RAD HACKER REFUGEE FROM THE FUTURE
    Normally me too, but I've wanted to listen to Capital Punishment (the Big Pun album) all day and just can't get more than a minute in.

    Instead I am torrenting Legend of Grimrock (the original), to see if I want to buy the sequel come christmastime.

    Is that backwards logic? Absolutely, but I was browsing The Pirate Bay and would feel bad about torrenting something that just came out.

    ^^^^ You could try a different album, you know. But I understand how that feels.

    Maybe write something. Get your mind off where you are and get your mind onto creating stuff, not because you need to but just because you can.

    I actually understood this, I think.

    I have reached next level Jargon. Go me.

    nah

    gonna see what this Grimrock thing is all about, I like dungeon crawling, and Grimrock is entirely a dungeon crawl, so hopefully it'll help take my mind off things.

    Creating art isn't usually relaxing for me, I have to put effort into it and it can be exhausting. So generally speaking I don't usually like to make things when I'm out of it.
  • ULTRA-RAD HACKER REFUGEE FROM THE FUTURE
    That said if you wanna read something I've written I can bump the tales from the million mile high city thread.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I guess we have different ways of making art. Usually I start by just making things up on the spot and screwing around, then editing obsessively, or by coming up with some harebrained concept and then executing it on a whim and, again, refining it over the long run.

    Starting out with a focus and putting a lot of effort in at the beginning is perfectly valid, but I'm more about, I dunno, exploring the hinterlands and then setting up camp somewhere nice.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Or, like, a lyric or a melody pops into my head and it becomes a sketch that becomes a song that becomes a track over time, but that's once more about slow building.

    oh I do that, and can do so on a whim, just not when I'm emotionally drained like I am now.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    OK, I understand, and I have definitely been there, actually quite recently.

    Maybe you should just, like, go to bed after the thing's done downloading. I don't want you to leave, but when you feel that shitty, sleep can be a good way of recharging your batteries.
  • ULTRA-RAD HACKER REFUGEE FROM THE FUTURE
    I'm actually quite enjoying the game right now.

    Stuff like this is therapy for me. Especially digging the first-person interface and general oldschool vibe.

    Can tell I'm gonna need a walkthrough though.

    Hmmm...I can't remember having had cola champagne, but I've had Inca Kola and I understand it tastes similar.

    Cola champagne has a taste similar to what is normally called cola in that it combines a lot of different flavours into one very complex but distinct flavour. My best summary is that it is like a combination of old-fashioned bubblegum and cream soda with an undercurrent of tropical fruits and possibly root beer.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    SOunds about right. 

    Man, there's a rotisserie chicken place at Bailey's that has Diet Inca Kola, and I'm thinking about it because I have horrible cotton mouth at the moment. :p
  • Ugh...
  • I have been in that place. Particularly recently.


    As it stands, I really want a glass of cola champagne soda. If you don't know what that is... explanations are difficult.
    The orange stuff, oder?

    It and cream soda are the two flavors that I rank above root beer. Though we spell it with a k.

    I thought that you would know about it, but I didn't want to presume. I have noticed that whether it's spelled with a "c" or a "k" varies by region.

    But yeah, it's really good. Very strange when you first try it, because it's like being hit with ten different flavours at once, but really good.

    It does not seem to be working on my browser—old busted browser is old and busted—but I do have it bookmarked just in case. Looking around the site, it looks pretty darned cool.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I am liking Fate/Zero.

    I think the most interesting dynamic is the conflict between machiavellian Masters and the various Servants the latter of whom due to being ancient heroes, god-kings, and the like, hold to ideals that are very different from those of the ones they serve, but are often no less self-serving.

    This was a good video that got ruined in the last second.

    I have heard really good things about it, and while the first F/SN adaptation looks pretty naff I hear they're redoing with the Fate/Zero team.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I heard good things about the new F/SN adaptation from someone who said they loathe the original VN, so that's probably a good sign.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Honestly, Garden of Sinners is the most interesting-looking Nasuverse thing (to me, at least, even minus Boochi Mane), and altogether it's not that long, but it's also seven movies, and that feels more daunting in principle than, say, a series of the same length.

    There is a list of people in the world I don't hate, and Tom Hanks is not on that list.
