Daniel Romano is a prolific Canadian artist from Welland, Ontario. He and his band, The Outfit, just had a record release party for "Too Hot To Sleep". Joining them were Uni Boys. Wish I could have seen the show.

"Too Hot To Sleep" rocks...so hard. So yes, Uni Boys and Billy Tibbals fans will enjoy it. But so will fans of Ted Leo. And so will fans of The Stooges, and The Lemon Twigs (earlier records). And finally, check out Ancient Shapes (one of Romano's earlier projects).

You've Changed Records (Canada) is releasing this. They've recently released another great LP from Apollo Ghosts.

dubbs!!! saw u posting about fields of mistria. im considering buying it and i wanted to know is it actually pretty good ? like would u consider it worth it

I've been really really enjoying it! I think there's a lot of features in this game that make it quite fun :D

I was writing a whole essay about all the features but perhaps the devs themselves can do that better than me. You can read about everything available in early access here, along with what they're planning to add/update in the near future

What I will say is I have found everything available in early access to either line up with my experiences in other games, such as the fishing being similar to Animal Crossing, or donating to the museum being reminiscent of bundles in Stardew. Or to be fun and refreshing like the magic spells and skill perks feeling like magic is always present in wherever I go and whatever I do, or the combat in the mines being a step up from every other farming game I've played

I think the biggest appeal to me for this game has definitely been the character art. And something I think this game does better than other farming sims I've played is making the characters feel like they're actually living and doing things with their lives, as they will have conversations with each other and even comment on things you've done or follow up on previous conversations you've had with them

but I will say I've put 50 hours into the game so far and I am feeling like I'm nearing the end of what's available in early access, though I am still very much enjoying playing! I think if I had to summarize my thoughts, as much as I do love this game it is still early access and does not have nearly as many features as say Stardew, but Stardew has been out and updating for 8 years and I think if these devs are just as dedicated to their game as ConcernedApe is to his I think Fields of Mistria has a bright future

imo the game is definitely worth buying rn if you find the early access features appealing and 50 hours of gameplay for whatever price it costs in your region sounds like a good deal to you :D

This process of trying to get my license back is becoming more trouble than it's worth.

friends are currently debating whether 'lost in the citadel' or 'montero (call me by your name)' is the better solphisto song and here are the main points for each side of the argument:

"lost in the citadel works for both perspectives and their tragic yuri romance" (lines 'i need time to get up and get off the floor / i need time to realise that i can't be yours' given as main example) - jo

vs

"montero cos those two definitely want to f-" - james (perhaps better known as captain bhole)

[thedreadvampy]

realising how much of my expansion beyond rock and metal into a wide range of genres is because:

Slipknot crossed over with the edgy/gothier end of 2000s hiphop

Disturbed are just like. The BIGGEST nerds for 80s British pop (they're not alone in that, it's a whole numetal Thing, but I think like a solid 10% of the 80s pop I listen to I first heard as a Disturbed cover)

Lady Gaga was the top 40 artist it was Okay For Edgy Alternative Teens To Like In 2007

Being an Alternative 2000s Teen was in many ways very musically stifling cause it was incumbent upon me to perform disdain for anything deemed too Pop.

I was somewhat rescued by my own gayness (when me and my gay goblin friends discovered CAMP!!!! and got semi-ironically big into Katy Perry and Rihanna and of course Gaga) but mostly I was so aggressively self-policing my music tastes and deciding what to listen to based more on my assessment of where it fitted socially than on whether I like. Liked it.

Catch 13 year old me studiously typing "punk" and "metal" into Limewire and listening to whatever came up. Catch 15 year old me assessing whether the fact that Rihanna is making music videos about murder in black lipstick means it's ok to like top 40 pop. Complicated by the fact that honestly half the biggest Alternative Teen bait acts of the 2000s were pop as hell, and that as above, numetal acts were nerdy musicians with a broad range of tastes outside metal, and it was very complicated for me. It probably took me until I was like 20 to really start to get a handle on what I personally liked musically, rather than what fit my persona (vividly remember being in a goth club when I was like 18 where they closed out the night with Leonard Cohen's Closing Time every time, and thinking like oh man am I allowed to like Leonard Cohen then? having been listening to Leonard Cohen since I was a literal infant.)

Once I let go of the sense of having to like the Right Music, I very rapidly developed very eclectic tastes and music became a really big part of my life. although my friend did recently still describe my music taste as "two genres - heavy and gay" so that 2000s alt teen is still in there big time.

I think it's a normal thing about being a kid. You're developing music taste basically from scratch and there's a world of music out there so it helps to start out with a narrow focus and build a solid few acts, albums or genres you really like and work out from there. But I do regret how much good music I missed out on first time around because even though I liked it I wrote it off for being rap or being too pop or too upbeat. But the good thing about music is that it doesn't go away! I'm still discovering a lot of music that I heard 50000 times when it was on the radio but never really listened to at the time. It's fun!

Hey, would you be cool with other people writing fics in the specific universe of tief? With Fortune Lavorre?

Hello! I just realized I had half-typed up an answer to this and completely forgot to finish it, so apologies that this is deeply, deeply overdue!

I am absolutely cool with it, with a few caveats but only of the disclaimer sort. (And that's not even to say that they're necessarily things that pertain to you, but I figured if I was commenting now I should just lay my thoughts out there, in case anyone else goes looking.)

I'm personally of the mind that transformative works of a transformative work are just as fine as the original transformative work itself, though I know that not everyone agrees. I'm not going to begrudge anyone their own personal rights for how their writing is used, but I have always felt that it would be hypocritical of me to consider it in any other way. (I'll spare you my deconstructive essay on the nature of transformative works in modern culture or I'll take another month to answer lol.)

That being said, the disclaimers! First, I will probably write more in that universe, and as such I will... probably not read other folks' dabblings in it. Not because I would be uninterested, but because I do take the author-ly point of view in that I want your works to be yours, and mine to be mine, so I don't want to find that I've inadvertently snatched up a plot from someone else without realizing. And in a similar vein, attribution of what you're riffing off of would be nice, but at the very least please don't, I don't know, claim that I've totally vetted it and it's definitely fully canon to the original work, or something of the sort. Both because of the aforementioned, I will write further things and I don't want to garner any confusion, your works are yours and mine are mine, and also because if anyone for any reason wanted to come complain to me about a fic, I'd much prefer it was indeed my fic.

(Like I said, I don't presume you need any of that noted in particular—just figured I should note it, since in general I am pretty laissez-faire when it comes to transformative works as a whole haha.)

finally finally got the best album that's ever been made 🫶🏼💘

[alo-piss-trancy]

This is one of those days where I have two wolves inside me.

One is reminding me that that toxic family member doesn't need to live rent free in my head and I should stop thinking about their bs earlier and just move on with my day. They can only affect me if I let them affect me. If they want their life to be a raging dumpster fire from their dumbass choices that's none of my concern. If their respect, affection and/or help are conditional I don't fucking want it.

The other wolf is frothing at the mouth wanting to scream to the ends of the earth about what a selfish hypocritical bitch they are though lmao. I'm so tired of having to deal with it and watch other ppl be harmed from their bs and still keep standing up for them or resigning themselves to being used because 'we can't turn our back on them'. I wish I could go no contact. I wish I could be petty and mean and prove once and for all how awful they are and have always been and new victims would stop fucking believing them

I can't do that though so fuck it, I'm going to binge eat ribs and commit mass murder as Reaper in Overwatch2 I guess. Feed the primal urges to bite and destroy 🙃
