History student, percussionist, loves video games (esp. RPGs and platformers), and music connoisseur. Bigots get banned! I consider myself a secular humanist.

I try to hear different styles. But I really like punk rock and J-fusion.

Art style wise, I'd hope for 2D hand-drawn animation, with a comic-book style. Though to stay somewhat faithful to the source material, I would have the character designs stay pretty similar, such as Mario being very short and bead eyes.

It's a more socially taught thing. Men are taught to just hold it in, which I would guess is because men typically are less likely to have a sudden wave of emotion (caused by different hormones than women). But when it does happen, there are no safeguards, and you get a dangerous outburst of anger.

Considering SMRPG and most M&L games have one of the greatest JRPG musicians out there, it should be a no brainer.

You know, hand drawing is a great way to show where the creativity is. Plus, seeing the erase marks on the paper shows the artist cares about making their work good.

Honestly, Memphis is lucky to have a district right now. Unfortunately, Kansas City is going to have the same fate as Nashville.

When lots of Jewish people are outspokenly opposing Israel's genocidal actions, being against the Gaza war is a moral necessity.

Even though you weren't a fan of this game, you gotta respect the devs for genuinely showing love for the whole Donkey Kong series.

I mostly have distanced myself from this, though I occasionally give an honest but non-antagonistic opinion. Fighting people over stuff is silly over, well, family-friendly games. Besides, why spend too much time complaining about Paper Mario when I can just play Bug Fables again?

1. 33 by T-Square. Yes, it's their 33rd record. An awesome jazz fusion album with so much variety, nailing every genre it touches, from smooth jazz, disco, instrumental pop, straight up fusion, and hard rock.

2. Lost in the Sound of Separation (2008) by Underoath. Somehow even better than Define the Great Line. It's dark, but certainly way more abrasive, which really brings out the hardcore roots from metalcore. By not chasing the more metal-leaning trend for the genre, they made something really cool.

3. Mezmerize by System of a Down (2005). Based on relistens, this SOAD record is definitely my preferred one compared to the other 2005 record, Hypnotize. A cool mix of heavy metal with a bunch of other genres, with grooves, thrashy parts, polka breaks, and more.

4. All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us by Architects (2016). Somehow got even heavier than its predecessor record (gain, both in emotion and instrumental power). Tom Searle was nearing his end due to cancer, but it's like he only got stronger.

5. Lost Forever // Lost Together by Architects (2014). A very heavy record, both in sound & emotion. The late Tom Searle in his final years really popped off when he started taking even more of a role in the writing. Vocalist Sam Carter does super well too, both when scream-singing and "BLEGH"-ing.

6. Reanimation by Linkin Park. Not really a band record, but a Hybrid Theory remix project led by Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn. It removes most of the rock, and really lets the atmospheric vibes, as well as the hip hop elements take center stage. Besides a few early tracks, the record is impeccable.

7. Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of God (2004). A perfect mix of brutal, heavy metal with a lot of protest lyrics. An amazing first impression for the band on me.
December 1, 2025 at 7:53 PM
8. Define the Great Line by Underoath (2006). A step in a heavier direction for the previously melodic, emo band, they nailed the sound to a tea. Mix the heavier, darker sound with some post-metal, and you get a really good, unique record.

9. Dictator by Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway. Out of all Daron's solo records, this one has the most power and anti-establishment energy that he's known for. With or without SOAD, he does super well by himself.

10. Groove Globe by T-Square (2004). A jazz fusion album with lots of fun grooves and additional synths alongside the Masahiro Andoh-Takeshi Itoh duo.

Twitter sucks, but those community notes are the silver lining.
