Really? I thought the loudness wars peaked around the mid 2000’s/2010’s. I feel like it’s become less prominent in the last few years

They do! :p

Yeah! I saw The Room for the first time last month in an art house theatre it was great

It’s very nostalgic to me, I remember watching it a ton as kid on VHS. It’s not GOOD but I think of it fondly

Oh fair! I’ve never actually played that one, only Katamari Damacy and Beautiful Katamari, I should check it out sometime

Haha always

The first ~2 minutes are my favourite usually, I like the buildup a lot more than the actual porn most of the time

Some of my favourites:

• NieR Automata
• Katamari Damacy
• Chrono Trigger
• DOOM 2016
• Celeste
• Sonic Adventure 2

Yes! NieR Automata is one of my favourite OSTs ever

I don’t know if it’s insensitive but it does seem unintuitive. Yeah “LGBTQ+” doesn’t include everything in it’s name but it’s a short acronym that’s easy to remember and say. If I’m in the middle of a conversation I probably can’t remember 2SLGBTQQIA+. At the end of the day it’s just language to communicate ideas, and I think LGBTQ+ gets the point across clearly. Alternatively you can just say Queer.

I think I joined Mastodon around September or October 2022? But I hadn’t heard of Kbin until a few weeks ago :p
Actually I wasn’t familiar with the fediverse at all outside of Mastodon before then

This is why pirating games that aren’t available to be bought anymore is never wrong

Businesses consider those the same thing unfortunately :/

Yeah i heard of Lemmy first, but when I found out about the developers being tankies I switched to Kbin. I actually prefer Kbin a lot now! It’s obviously still earlier in development but I think it shows more promise.

Yeah every so often. Sometimes I get reminded of people I used to people very close to and wonder how they’re doing. I guess it’s just a fear of “We already lost contact before, what if I connect with them and then just lose contact again?” Idk maybe I should just do it sometime just to get the thought out of my head, but the idea makes me very anxious

Mildred is actually a sick ass name. I hope she’s rocking it

So when it comes to copyright music can actually be divided into two things: the song itself (the lyrics and melodies) and the performance of a song (the recording). I don’t know the entire situation but I’m guessing Taylor Swift owns the rights of the songs themselves, but not the rights to the recordings of the songs that were made, so she’s in her right to make her own recordings of the songs and then she would have full ownership of those. (Sidenote: I study composing for media and though copyright is part of my study, I’m not an expert)

You bet I dare!

Wait reddit has chat groups? I didn’t even know that was a think
I’ve never used anything other than old.reddit though so maybe that’s why
