Want to wade into the spooky surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Unfortunately, the music director Marty O Donnell (iirc?) for og halo games is a bug trumper and ran for office. And he made absolute banger sound tracks too!

Dev team leads at least denouncing it as the disgusting shit it is.
Thatās depressing⦠I really liked the music direction of halo. It really stood out to me in a way that other games never manage. I can still hum the halo theme and a bunch of its score, but Iād be hard pressed to do that with any other game⦠I know the elder scrolls theme, I guess, but canāt remember much else about their sound design.
if you enjoy older elder scrolls music, donāt ask too many questions about jeremy soule either.
Not so much āenjoyā as āremember at all, unlike most of the other games Iāve played in the last 10 years or soā, but I take your point.
at least the dude who writes most music for elder scrolls online seems to be decent enough.
Well, as far as I can tell, we still have Nile Rodgers.
