Hello friends new and old!

I'm SynysterCola. You can call me Synyster, Syn, etc.

I'm a software guy by day, and a gamer/reader by night! I generally read sci-fi and fantasy but occasionally branch out.

I'm more of a lurker than a poster here but I'm excited to meet you all!

Xenoblade X Definitive Edition is the greatest game ever made in recent memory because there is a sidequest where you kill Elon Musk in his Tesla Skell to protect a lesbian power couple.

If supporting trans erasure is being a "moderate" in America, then you can put me as far away from that valley as humanely possible.

Fuck all the way off. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

Yes. You want to support musicians? BUY their work. Buy their merchandise. They need money to live! Streaming gives them almost no money! Musicians make more awesome music for you when they aren't literally starving!
I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.
Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify?

In related news: PLEASE USE BANDCAMP

"It’s unclear when the website, which lists mostly Black employees who work in agencies primarily within the Department of Health and Human Services, first appeared."
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Hey, yes, all of this sucks and it's overwhelming that we are being pummeled with ridiculous and unbelievable awful news every 3 minutes right now and a lot of bad stuff is happening! But that's also the point! They want everyone to be too overwhelmed and disoriented to speak up. Do not lose hope!

First read of 2025!

The Games Gods Play shares a lot of the vibes and tropes from series such as The Hunger Games and Percy Jackson. Short chapters and some breather scenes between the action keeps the pace enjoyable.

Fantasy with some romantasy. 3.5/5 for me!

If you say that you're looking for a "partner in crime" on a dating site, it's rude to unmatch someone as soon as they ask which kinds of crime you like to do. If you're not serious about pulling off the greatest bank heist of the 21st century, don't waste my time!
