I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I remember a piece of advice that was like "always draw a character with the darkest possible skin in concept art because the executives will always lighten it"

🎨Bayonetta's character designer, Mari Shimazaki made Miary Zo's Costume 03!

“The combination of a green base with red accents was inspired by the Madagascar flag, and from an early stage onwards, a white inner layer was incorporated to highlight Miariz's dark skin.”

fear factory is kind of underrated... "Demanufacture" is that perfect industrial metal sound to me. it was the first time I heard an album where it sounded like every instrument could cut you

I've seen some pros say they can't do this, wheras it was one of the first things I learned, again because I started out by learning fear factory songs which seem to do this a lot

a thing I can do that I learned a lot of people can't is that I can chug the guitar string while palm muted at an extreme speed. however, it kills my arm after a few minutes

what fear factory *DO* is. they turn the kick drum up to an extreme level so it drowns out everything else in the mix. that seems to be the entire method

Kate Barrett @thewaether.bsky.social · 16h

I've been attempting to get the guitar to sound percussive like my idols Fear Factory but I listened to some isolated guitar tracks from them and realised even they don't sound like that.

Game & Watch Gallery 3 contains a debug mode that displays the game's graphics. However, due to an incorrectly loaded palette and using a black background, the sprites for Yoshi in the Egg game appear inadvertently unsettling when viewed in that mode.

I dont believe that but sounds good

Kate Barrett @thewaether.bsky.social · 17h

just learned turning the guitar pick sideways and hitting the strings like a knife blade gives it a really good attack but also I feel like I'll slice the strings up this way

He’s right

Shoplifting is justified for Brits living in poverty, says Green Party's new hard-left leader Zack Polanski - and he says he would do it himself if he was poor

its crazy how the bbc hasn't changed its target demographic since the 80s. kids these days are still into new-wave music, right

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

one underrated way to spot an AI video is to ask yourself "who is holding the camera and filming this"

gotta try and not fall for any "gen Z on tiktok is doing [X]" articles and remember that the same articles used to say similar things about us doing stuff over text messages and facebook
