I’m not sure why it’s that surprising, many of the members are very tightly-knit.
big circlejerks like that usually just migrate to discord or whatever

btw

YouTube

this is what the credits song for each episode is supposed to be, but netflix couldn't get the rights

the singer/style of the song also changes to match the tone of each episode

YouTube

this is the version that would play at the end of asuka's debut

The Flood / Re: What's Up With Pretentious Art
« on: September 07, 2020, 12:01:59 PM »
There has to be some attempt from the artist to guide the viewer towards an emotion or idea. It should provoke a reaction out the viewer. With modern art, I look at it and feel nothing or confused.
so the art was able to provoke a confused and nonplussed reaction out of you?

it sounds like it fits your criteria, then

my personal reaction is amusement—the idea that someone would have the gall to submit a white canvas to a museum, or sell it for $20 mill, is funny to me, and also vaguely disgusting

what separates it from your bedroom wall is the added context of "this is art"—that statement, and the intent behind the statement

it doesn't make the piece "special," but whoever said art had to be special
Quote
I think pretentious artists know there's nothing inherently meaningful about their pieces but then say that's the point
i mean, that's just called honesty—is it pretentious to be honest

Quote
Also if an artist has a genuine point to make but decides a blank white painting is the best way to do it, they're just a shitty artist
i don't disagree, and that's a perfectly valid opinion to have, but as long as you don't strip them of the status of being an artist, or try to gatekeep what can and cannot be art, then we're basically on the same page

do you label anything artistic that you don't or are unwilling to understand as pretentious
I think all art is allowed right?
Verbatim you must agree that all art is art right? Art is defined by "a product made from emotion"
is trump a piece of shit?

why the fuck are you asking me if i believe in the exact sentiment that i'm actively expressing

do you label anything artistic that you don't or are unwilling to understand as pretentious
I label art where you to jump through mental hurdles to understand pretentious
that's no good either, because what you've basically said here is that art shouldn't be challenging—which is obviously a very silly and obtuse perspective that i don't think you mean

pretentiousness is when an artist wants you to believe he's created something profound, but doesn't actually have anything profound to say, so he resorts to posturing

but sometimes, an artist may genuinely feel as though there's no better way to express a certain idea than to make something extremely esoteric—it's not pretentious, it's just inarticulate

so if you want to call artists like this out for anything, call them out for being poor communicators (i guess)—or you could just, you know, take the time to understand the purpose of it, because it's probably not that deep anyway

Looks like loose Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness cartridges just shot up in value over the past couple months to about $85, newly making it the most valuable game in my N64 collection, which is pretty cool. That's a game lent to me from my cousin well before I started seriously collecting, and it's a neat game. Still can't find the other Castlevania 64 game, though.

The most valuable game in the NES collection is a loose Stack Up cartridge, valued at ~$95. This has been part of my dad's collection since I was a child, so to think that we haven't found anything cooler despite actively searching for rare games is kind of insane to me. Even our golden Zelda II CIB w/ manual is worth $10 less.

The game itself is useless without R.O.B, and we don't even have one, despite the fact that it was a pack-in peripheral. I cannot wrap my head around why this game is considered so valuable. Does it just come down to rarity?

They also had Resident Evil 2, Starcraft, and WWF No Mercy on display, but they were asking a bit too much for those
Picked up Resident Evil 2 (64) and WWF No Mercy today. Pretty happy, even though it gave my wallet a black eye.

Seems like someone else bought Starcraft 64, though. Sucks.

« on: August 27, 2020, 12:41:12 PM »
Is there legitimate reason to ban notCarmen? It even explicitly says that it's not Carmen, so it's opposite of impersonation.
that's the ploy

it's not impersonation, but cheat knew she would end up gloating/sharing the PM if she asked about it
