    On my first listen of Fragments rn, and loving it already. This is ace from the first second! Edit: Wow! "Black Smoke"! ?

    Seriously though, we've all been so nice this year that I have a strong feeling we'll get a vacchine for Christmas. Mark my words.

    HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY WEEK, EVERYBODY!

    I haven't really followed the development history, but I happened to see a TV feature on it a couple of days ago with some previously unreleased footage from the game, and I was surprised how average the graphics looked. I don't know on which system they were running it, but compared to, say, The Last of Us 2, it looked like something from a previous generation to me. It really surprised me because I know how much-hyped it is. Am I alone with that opinion? The hype is probably more about the gameplay, but that didn't look like they reinvented the wheel either. So what exactly is it that people are so pumped about? Genuine question, I don't know anything about it.

    I'm a man, and I didn't even know about it. That's how far we've come.

    Indeed. Bit kinky that he shaves it though.

    Or his buddy Jean-Luc Picard, for that matter. That Prime Directive shit is wack, srsly.

    Aye

    Someone has to tell Chris Rea he can just stay put this year.

    First off, no, it's not a threat. I was being sarcastic, and I hope you were too. The thought of physical violence is completely alien to me, but you couldn't know that, so I should have made myself clearer. But imagine for a second if we actually took what you wrote at face value. Our western society is literally built on freedom of speech, and I personally wouldn't want to live in a world where that notion is challenged. TBF, I find it revolting how many people in this forum condone or even endorse physical violence in any form, but I guess I'll have to live with that. I should probably just stay away from this thread, cause I find it toxic af. I'm interested in US politics and I came here looking for information, but all I found was more hate. Carry on.

    Where do you want it?

    What's wrong with Italo Disco?

    I didn't say anything else.

    Not to speak of getting a quick kick in when he's already out cold on the floor. But I guess he "had that coming" too. JFC, what the fuck is wrong with people.

    Yeah, that was my takeaway too, but ironically, it led to my being totally disappointed in the theater (incredibly boring, much too long, betraying the legacy, etc.), and then when I watched at home and knew what to expect, I could enjoy the undeniable aesthetic values. Would be interesting what would happen the third time. Maybe I'd just get bored and hate it again, lol.

    HATED it the first time, kinda liked it on the second go. Maybe I should give it a third try.

    Yeah, I totally get that. I've always loved Lost Highway, and then when I took a seminar on Lynch, I realized how many layers of it I hadn't understood or barely realized were there. When you read up on it, it often feels so logical that you don't know why you haven't come up with it yourself. On the other hand, the explanations didn't take away from my enjoyment of the movie at all. My usual MO is to watch complex shit like that several times and then maybe read a couple of interpretations and refresh my excitement, change the perspective, look for other details. A bit like unlocking an Autechre album step by step, just with a little cheating along the way. Also, every interpretation is of course just that. Food for thought, but not the ultimate key.

    I found that @Silent Member explained the basic plot (as far as the term applies) pretty well further upstream.

    Based on the iconography, I'd call it "Phallusfest 2020". Headliners can remain.

    I have, when I was very little. I was a really picky eater as a child, and my parents would mostly accommodate my whims, so my diet consisted mainly of pasta and burgers and so on. But once, when I was staying at my grandma's, she bought those squishy things that she crumbed and fried in a pan. Then she shoved one of them in front of me and said, "Here, eat." When I asked what it was, she told me it was brains. My grandma was a stern woman, and I wouldn't have dared deny her. She also had a wry sense of humor, and I remember that I thought she must be joking, as I could't for the life of me imagine that anyone would really eat the brains of a creature (that seemed like something out of a spooky story), and much less that anyone would make me eat something outrageously disgusting like that, so I dug in. It was only much later that I realized that brains looked exactly like that. I only have a hazy memory of it and don't recollect the taste, but I think it was fairly bland. In hindsight, I'm not even sure it was pig's brain, could have been calf's too. Still fucked up doe.

    I wanted to go for that, but then I remembered that someone (yekker, I believe?), had done it in the other thread. Confession: When I was a kid, my dad had this whole bag of comic books in his closet that he'd probably gotten at a fleamarket or something (we weren't particularly rich), and whenever I had "been a good boy", had done well in a test or whatever, he'd give me one, just one. Once, when my parents were away for the weekend and my aunt was looking after me, I sneaked into my parents' bedroom, found the comic books in the closet, took the whole stack out to the garden with me and read all of them, one after the other, all day long. Then I hid them away again and never confessed. The problem was that as our ritual continued, I had to feign excitement over a "new" comic book that I had read months ago, and I'd know all the stories in it. It sucked the joy out of the whole thing and made me feel really bad. I guess there's a lesson in there somewhere Also, I killed a man that looked like toaoaoad and yekker.

    Zesty! I'll wait for some more posts to gauge the caliber of this operation. Don't wanna be the second guy to confess something, and suddenly everyone goes quiet and exchanges awkward looks. Edit: Like when I try to be funny. "Lol."
  24. IDEM
    Stop your ped-antics.
  25. IDEM
    Yeah, I wanted to say the same, but then it suddenly felt so pedantic.
