    So you've finished The Last of Us 2, and now you want to talk about it

    That's the boat I'm in. Can't be more clear that this thread will discuss all story elements of The Last of Us 2. The short version: This is one of the grimmest pieces of media I've ever experienced. Almost laughably so (I found myself laughing at points because of how completely dark the...

    Positive Post-Covid

    It's funny because I've been given probably the exact opposite information. I'm perfectly willing to consider both a likely means of contraction. But man, this is like information problem almost as much as it is a disease problem...

    Positive Post-Covid

    I'm not sure how that's different. Close proximity means through airborne inhalation -- I don't mean it's airborne like some kind of ambient 20th century miasma lol. My point was people are focusing primarily on not touching stuff and wiping down surfaces, when really it's breathing in...

    Mel's Classical Music thread

    Let's continue with the harpsichord and Alessandro Scarlatti and a piece that sounds terrifyingly difficult to actually play.

    Positive Post-Covid

    I'm a little leery of mass transit getting a bad reputation after this, the last thing we need (in the US especially) is more people thinking "fuck public transit!" That's just not feasible for urban spaces. I don't think we're going to be in a permanent super-flu existence where we have to...

    Mel's Classical Music thread

    Next up, let's listen to some Royer. And particularly to the extremely emotive performance of Marco Mencoboni on my favorite instrument to listen to: the harpsichord. I've listened to a few different performances of Le Vertigo and Mencoboni is the only one to really nail that explosive section...

    Mel's Classical Music thread

    Ah, now we're playing with power! BWV 543 is a real colon-blow of a performance and proves once again that while many come close, Bach stands above them all.

    Why'd You Choose Your Avatar?

    I like cows. I've had many cow-themed items as a kid, not so much anymore. But the love still remains. And then dangus pixilated my avatar and I was able to get it added into my dtoid avatar riiiight before that stopped being possible. Whew!

    Mel's Classical Music thread

    Today's post is something from a composer I hadn't heard of until I listened to his work. Alan Hovhaness, an Armenian-American composer who's work is probably not fit for a "classical" thread, but I did warn everyone I have no musical education! So fuck it! It's definitely in the right...

    When you tell your co worker you had a bad stomach bug last night and they immediately fire back "is there a good stomach bug?" and then they ask you "hey you ok?" because you've zoned out from imaging murdering their entire family.

    Mel's Classical Music thread

    Oh it has been a MOMENT since I was part of a forum for real. Gosh, I gotta set up a sig! Well, anyway, I'm gonna post some classical music from (mostly) baroque composers in this thread and probably add some notes to them. Nothing profound, I'm not musically educated AT ALL. But just my...
