was not familiar with them....
from their wiki - had performed at rallies for The Right to Work, Rock Against Racism, and the Anti-Nazi League. -
holy shit this is a ride
"The Totenkopf-6 is a slightly grinning skull, framed by a circle and a small 6 in the lower right corner. Death in June has, since at least the State Laughter / Holy Water 7″, used variations of the Prussian Totenkopf or "Death's Head" symbol. Indeed, there is another explanation that has been given by Pearce, he has also stated that it symbolises "total commitment" to the group, akin to the total commitment of soldiers of the SS"
ah... getting to the shit that matters -
"The Southern Poverty Law Center considers Death in June to be white power music harboring neo-Nazi sympathies."
yeeeaah this all fits
I was a goth in my youth and they were among the more controversial bands. They could be just edge lords or Nazis. The guys that listened to them turned out to be Nazis, so there's that.

What a tragic viewpoint to take. Imagine seeing something that you like becoming more popular and having all these new people to share it with from such a perspective. Depressing.
Blockchain.

I feel like they're more likely talking about Jeff Roiland's (edit: creator, one of the main writers, and voice actor for most male characters (including both Rick and Morty)) abuse allegations, after which they canned him as writer/ voice actor and the show kind of lost it's flair.
Personally, I think the new VAs are pretty good on their own. Morty even sounds a little better.

immediately where my mind went.
From "haha, raspberriesareyummy will marry his computer one day" to most everyone around me constantly staring at their whatsapp, tiktok or "talking" with siri/alexa.
Fuck this shit
I'm so sorry that they called you that

Roguelikes. I'm not saying some of the modern roguelites aren't fantastic, there are many that are. But the genre boom has all but pushed traditional roguelikes (NetHack, ADoM, Angband, Brogue, etc) out of the conversation.
Brogue is fucking sick, man.

Computer games. Anything that can be monetized will turn into shit.

The voice actors are great. If I didn't know about the change, I'd never have noticed

Here's a controversial one: Target shooting.
It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.
And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos ruined it.
Same, man. I like it, from the meditation-like state when you take it serious to the gun goes bang part when you are just messing around. But some of the people, man... Where do I start.
I think I should go again regardless, if everyone with wane opinions leaves, that would be surrendering.

My best experience so far was with Dungeon Crawl. I love their "no farming" philosophy.

What about their penises?
I'm sure Fabulous Bill has a couple of attachments that would make even Slaanesh blush.

Ratatat. I got into them through an Albino Blacksheep video, and they were my secret favourite band for a bit.
Then they got popular, and people that I didn't really jell with started casually raving about them, and I found it difficult to enjoy the music because of those people.
Years later, I grew up. Music is for everyone, and everyone forms their own relationship with it that shouldnt impact the enjoyment of the music itself.
Yes, they were sold on the band through mass advertizing channels. Yes, I discovered them through a more organic means. But that's how fans are born, and yes some of them aren't there for the music, but they are there to have a good time and maybe those songs hold special memories for them later in life when they were hanging around with friends.

it's certainly an interesting nuance. ty for the tip

Roblox. I played it as a kid around 2007 when it was just a small Lego-like building game with your friends. It's been really weird seeing it become some predatory, monetized app game that kids play on their iPad now.
For reference, I'm almost 30 and haven't played it since I was like 14. My friend's kid was playing Roblox on his tablet and asked if I "heard of this new app game called Roblox" and it hurt my soul.
the devs have pursued every bad idea and settled on 'child labor and exposing kids to fucked up shit seems profitable' so yeeeeeahh.... the game industry looks at them and hangs their head in shame

I liked the bit at the end where the therapist calls him out.
See, that's the thing. Pickle Rick was funny because he went through all that bullshit just to avoid going to therapy. The show was making an excellent point about how stigmatized therapy is, and how bettering yourself is hard work, work many people just don't want to do. (Basically, "men would rather turn themselves into pickles than go to therapy.")
Of course, any actual nuance is lost on the "high IQ" R&M fans. I've always seen Rick as similar to Eric Cartman or the Joker: if you idolize him, you missed the point.

Depends on the people. Eternal September has been a meme for over 30 years at this point. It is a cyclical pattern in just about anything social: experimentalists/creatives create new thing, early adopters join which gives new thing legitimacy, social contracts are implicitly drafted because the community is small and easy to reach consensus, then it gets exposure, masses of new people join the thing that aren't interested in the social contract, community cohesion eventually evaporates. This is how you go from "Man, our thing is so cool" to "Fucking newbies spamming in general, begging." You don't want to share your cool thing with a bunch of mouth breathers that aren't capable of appreciating what makes the thing actually cool. Eventually the grifters come, and then it is game over. So the original community members scatter to the winds. Some creative people make some new thing and it starts all over again.

What's wild is that the nethack source is so easy to read and understand, that it is trivial to add new content. I'd like to see some of the mechanics from the newer gen roguelikes like Shattered Pixel Dungeon make it back into trad nethack

they really did do a great job replacing the voice actor
