Perfect opportunity to criticize their policy decisions to their face.

Got an open box controller to try and save money.

Instantly obvious the left stick gets stuck every time down is pressed. Guess the vendor didn't bother to check if it works.

I am returning it and getting a 3rd party hall effect controller. Literally every 1st party controller I've had for the past 15 years has eventually drifted. Meanwhile, 3rd party controllers have never drifted.

The last first party controller I had that didn't drift was on the Wii U.

I pray that I will never have to buy a controller due to drift ever again.

Looks like the Lord Almighty is coming down to tell him to withdraw.

Not gonna say dying is pleasant, but there was a time before you existed and that was already okay. So not existing again will also be okay.

My dad was very surprised that Toys R Us had a platinum edition console when we went to get one. In retrospect, not that strange that they had lots of stock.

Uritours site is funny, lol.

"GET A HAIRCUT Find out if there’s truth to the recent headlines that say there are only 28 state-approved hair styles. (Spoiler: the charts are only used as a guide, we’re told)."

Its a grouping of 5 smaller leftish parties, so pretty ideologically diverse. It only came together like two months ago per CNN, ad hoc when Macron called for the general election.

Their main unifying factor is not wanting the far right in control.

Just experienced the revelation that is spray wax! All the utility of a pomade, with the ease of use of a hairspray, but my hair doesn't get crispy and it's still touchable and adjustable later!

Its absolutely a game changer for me. I can style it with a texturizing spray, then spray it with wax, make last minute adjustments, and it's out of my eyes all day.

Brand is REDKEN if anybody is wondering. I feel like with all the trans folks here, a lot of you have long "awkward phase" hair lengths on the way to actually long hair.

Mine is just short enough in the front that a bun isn't convenient.

I normally don't criticize artists, but come on. You don't have a tech guy on your DJ set at COACHELLA when you don't know how to do it? They must be paying her like $1 million to DJ and she can't even bring a tech person that knows how to fix a double tempo issue.

Also the bible verse into LLM messiah complex bit at the beginning removes all sympathy.

If a performance is going badly, typically you don't want to apologize in the middle of it. And if you do, just do it once, not 6 times.

Highly recommend this album. The topic is

CW medical misogyny, horrible illness, chronic painshe had post-pregnancy osteoporosis (undiagnosed) with exquisite pain and her doctors wouldn't fucking believe her and LITERALLY called her hysterical. She asked for an MRI and they refused and then she paid for her own and guess what? She had 10 fractured vertebrae.

Aside from the powerful topic, the album is all in the same key and has like 10 distinct, amazing grooves on similar chords. This plus the addition of several interludes gives the impression that it isn't just a few songs, but it's actually all part of one longer work. Lucy's voice is amazing, and her piano arrangements are KILLER.

The audio production (especially creative techniques) are to die for as well. Excitingly beautiful reverb, and on the track Dusty Frames there is this warbly effect on the piano that sounds like it was badly compressed to MP3 which brings back major nostalgia for me.

You can listen on Bandcamp for free, but 8 pounds/10 USD is a steal for this record.

I wanted to buy the signed vinyl but shipping is over $20 to the US. The album cover is CLASSIC style, though.

Favorite Tracks: Over When It's Over, Dusty Frames

This Next Fest is the best I've seen yet! List any cool game demos or trailers here.

My standouts:

Berserk Boy - Mega-Man trope game that looks to have great platforming and run + gun gameplay and pixel art.
Death of the Reprobate - Midieval art collage point and click game.
Bride Into the Cave - Horror puzzle game about a minority girl in ancient China trying to save herself, and a myth about an cave that houses a deity who names a girl and her soul disappears from the the mortal realm. The trailer music was incredible and the art was also stunning.
Hauntii - Monochromatic (or sometimes a few shades of the same color) game in which you play a ghost and you possess various objects and animals to make progress. Casual / Adventure
Chasing the Unseen - Shadow of the colossus type game where you climb impossibly massive animals like snakes and Octopi in a surreal world.
Ultros - Psychedelic Metroidvania with an unbelievable 2d art style where you "wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus, a Cosmic uterus holding an ancient demonic being.
