I buy music on bandcamp. I check out other suggested artists from the music I’ve bought on bandcamp. I check out bandcamp dailys. I read a couple of music blogs. I look into artists who are touring with artists I already like. I look into the record labels of artists I like. That sort of stuff.

Metaphor ReFantazio. I’m not a big Persona fan, but this game rules.

detroit or new york, toppings negotiable on the day

Put whatever you want on a pizza, its a good delivery mechanism

I’m not a big hot sauce ON pizza kinda guy, but I dip the crust in something like secret aardvark. Buffalo chicken pizza is pretty popular and that’s basically a hot sauce pizza.

I’ll mark them as spam even if I technically signed up for whatever bullshit they’re sending because I didn’t notice the box to uncheck when making an account. It’s a shitty tactic and they’ve all ruined email with it.

I absolutely adored Burnout Paradise. It’s my favorite game in the series. It’s also a very different kind of game though, so I get why people get up in arms about it.

Crashing into billboards was a great collectible of which I never grew tired.

I’m going to take this in an incredible dark direction and say That’s Just the Way That I Feel by Purple Mountains. This record is essentially a suicide note for artist David Berman, who killed himself shortly after it released.

It’s more sad rather than angry at the world, but the poetic lyrics just tear me apart:

Course I've been humbled by the void
Much of my faith has been destroyed
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
And as the pace of life keeps quickening
Beneath the *removed* and the bickering
When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
I find my worst ideas know how to swim

Yoku’s Island Express. Before playing it, I didn’t like pinball or search-action games (metroidvanias). I ended up loving it. I still don’t really enjoy pinball on its own, but I now have a deep love for search-action.

I think it’s because Apple has a “fandom”, whereas when’s the last time you heard someone being a weird fan of Microsoft outside of Xbox? It just doesn’t really exist. The people with Apple devices are often “fans” of Apple, not simply people who bought a product. I think it’s that simple.

because they gave me a license anyways

I think the people who already really like Apple would be okay with it and find a million reasons to justify it. I don’t think that’s a good thing.

Create and contribute to open source projects.

Write music.

Make little video games.

Write short stories.

Learn a new language.

Basically, a lot of stuff I already do as a hobby, but I would have more time/energy to devote

It’s absolutely possible and there are several studies on the subject going back to 2020. Probably a part of why people are getting sick with things like RSV more regularly too.

for the purposes of this survey, Dippy is 100% a tankie. Read it in their own words:

Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don’t call themselves that most of the time.

No I’m not [a tankie].

Dippy’s a tankie, you heard it here first. This person loves crushing people with tanks. This person is an authoritarian monster that crushes people with tanks. Dippy’s actually the tank driver in the tank man photo. Don’t look up the video, Dippy 100% crushed that dude. Any video showing tankman walk away is an AI fabrication.

A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

Probably Contact. I cried at the line:

Andre 3000 making a flute album was unexpected and I wasn’t even in a coma for 20 years. It’s good

Well hey, that’s why it’s an unpopular opinion!

Your method of wrapping deadly “opinions” in a bubbly facade should get you rejected from every public forum.
