Hopefully many other news outlets around the world follow suit. I once emailed Yle, Finland’s state media outlet about how staying on Twitter doesn’t work and why Mastodon (and the Fediverse in general) would be the better option. Later they shut some of their Twitter accounts down… and continuing on other platforms such as TikTok.

My view on “Youthanasia” is mixed. It’s evident how Dave Mustaine wanted to chase the top of the charts and how many metal bands had a hard time staying relevant in the 90s. With 1992’s “Countdown to Extinction” Dave already attempted to streamline Megadeth’s sound in a similar manner to what Metallica did with their “Black Album” and it yielded success, so “Youthanasia” was the next logical step forward. The album succeeds in that streamlining, but it happens with costs one can expect.

The overall mix is softer and more polished but it feels duller, especially compared to 1990’s “Rust in Peace”. Many songs have their tempo approximately at 120 BPM as the producer Max Norman wanted so, and their structure is conventional verse-chorus-type of thing. The strength of early Megadeth was in quirky song structures: technical guitar riffs, fast tempos and abrupt changes mixed in, and Mustaine snarled on top of it. “Youthanasia” has all that replaced with catchier songs and Mustaine attempting to sing melodically (“A Tout le Monde” as a good example). Yes, I get that Megadeth wanted to expand their sound and do something different, but is that evolution or many steps back? One’s mileage may vary.

Yes, it’s preferable.

I hear you! Seems that the community was set as NSFW so it isn’t visible for users who haven’t enabled NSFW content. Due to the community’s content it’s rather obvious why it was set as NSFW. It’s up to the community’s moderators to set the community as SFW if they want so. Even though I’m Sopuli’s admin, I can’t edit communities I don’t also moderate.

It totes doesn’t sound there’s any agenda hidden…

Jay’s January 6th interrogation

For that audience they don’t need to be funny, they have to be racist.

Even a potato can run Linux so regardless of a distro it should be all fine.

God dang it, apparently he has now stated how he is “going to dedicate more time for making music and reduce the amount of work”, so he’s not entirely retiring. I’d say to him “make up your mind!”

Can’t say anything about that, as I played the game on GameCube.

Just finished the main story of Yakuza 0, now it’s time for all the side content.

Just finished Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Got it five years ago but got frustrated and uninstalled it. Then I played it on-off for some time. But after lots of tries I got the final boss killed. Yes, there is an option for New Game Plus but nope, time to play something else. Brilliant game, hard but rewarding.

Oh yes, that was from the times when any game that was a bit more difficult was compared to Dark Souls.

I remember vaguely my grandma playing that game.

Generative AI has reached its peak after all.

The Brownstone Institute is Tucker’s project to push pseudoscientific garbage that will ruin public health as we know it. The wording “COVID ideology” alone proves that.

And that way you have earned a ban!

As the rule 34 says, if something exists, there’s porn of it.
