RIP kbin.social. We hardly knew ye.
Honestly, it’s probably Little Nicky for me. I do enjoy the movie myself, but back in my highschool days my main group of friends I would hang out and smoke weed with could always agree on this movie. If anyone would complain about what someone else wanted to watch too much, or none of us had a good idea for anything else, we would usually just throw Little Nicky on and be happy enough. I’ll still watch every now and then even though I could recite the thing by rote.
It’s Scary Movie 2 that really tickles me with its good hand.
A couple YouTube channels I regularly turn to:
The Exploring Series - He does read throughs of SCP files and Lovecraft stuff, as well as other things. His voice and inflection are excellent for being calming, but not hammy like a lot of sleep story channels.
Astrum - Astronomy and physics related material. Also an excellent voice for this purpose.
Otherwise I sometimes just pull up a dungeon synth album that has the right mood that I’m feeling for the night.
It’s the best remedy I’ve tried insofar as it’s the only thing that has worked as any type of preventative, and the only thing that has disrupted a cycle for me. It doesn’t work as an abortive, in my experience, but it beats every pharmaceutical I’ve tried in every other way.
Sourcing it has been an issue, and it sucks to open yourself up to criminal offense for not wanting to live in pain, but we do what we have to do.
I’m an episodic CH sufferer. No other pain comes close in comparison. You’re not alone, brother (if I can make that gender assumption given your user name).
Depends on how good they are at it. If pedestrian drech is all they have to offer I’ll spin 'em dizzy and set 'em straight. If they’ve got art, game recognizes game.
Younger brains have fewer memories. This checks out.
I did that thing where I lied on the internet. The preamble was there purely as a setup for the greatest joke of all time.
I always pictured mammoths being more docile: disinclined to charge. Didn’t realize they could be more of a wooly bully.
Taking SSRIs, I feel like I’m living with an anvil strapped to my back.
Before I started on them, I felt like I was wrapped around the singularity at the center of a massive black hole. Utterly, utterly crushed; reduced down to the size of something that may as well be nothing. So far past the event horizon that I couldn’t even see it anymore.
At least an anvil can be useful for smithing something practical, hearty, and if one has the skill, something artful.
So you’re saying Akira wasn’t based on a true story?
It would be very on-brand, and probably entertaining, if these two send absolute bottom dollar lawyers to represent their case.
Yeah. While I think it unlikely enough that anyone from the Vatican is using the fediverse, I think I’m safe in completely dismissing out of hand that anyone with the official capacity to represent the Vatican is here posting about their dissatisfaction with the Olympics.
Absolutely. I’ve had two episodes of sleep paralysis in my life that we’re accompanied by some intense dream imagery and audio hallucination. And I’ve had one extremely potent nightmare that easily could have otherwise passed as an alien abduction incident.
Those three were a rush to fully awake from. The abduction one woke me from a dead sleep as they were inserting an instrument into my navel. 10/10 would do again.
One is never satisfied, as I’m assuming you know. I have plans to swap some out, but my current lineup includes:
Novation Peak Casio CZ-1 Novation Ultranova Radikal Technologies Delta Cep-A Dreadbox Abyss Polyend Tracker and a couple other supplemental pieces
If you’re a gearhound yourself I wouldn’t mind a look into your setup if you care to oblige.
I have a mile long document of yet to be used ideas for song titles, synth patch names, lyric ideas, what have you…
I just harvested from that. It works.
Aww, and here I thought I was contributing to a discussion. I’ll leave you alone now since I ruin your fun. Hopefully you can feel free to be a bit more lighthearted in my absence.
No.
I’m in the camp that believes that Jesus was a real person. And being that he was a real person, he did not rise from the dead, because that doesn’t happen. So, Jesus was not a zombie.
If Jesus wasn’t actually a real person… sure, knock yourself out. Zombie, Lich, whatever else you want to call it. Doesn’t really matter if we’re just making up stories with no real historical basis.
Ah, it was the opposite for me. Might be because I enjoy the type of movies SC2 riffs on a lot more than NATM.
