Gonna second the calls for Haken. Pareidoilia or Veil would be great tracks to start with.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation was a great release this year as well.

I'll also recommend The Ocean, who have a fun naming convention for their albums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPMrwSwl8is

Did you pet any dogs?

Was just gonna say, the new KGATLW album is killer!

Ok Chat GPT, give me back my seat post.

So from what I understand ~200-300 people died in Tiananmen Square in 1989, right? Like, that's not ideal, but also not 3000 people. Still, I generally subscribe to the "murder is bad" school of thought.

Gander became famous on 9/11 because of the sheer number of flights it took in once we closed our airspace. People were like, taking airline passengers into their homes for dinner and shit. I know we're all irony-pilled around here but Gander genuinely made the world a better place in a time that looked pretty bleak for a lot of people.

Unless gay-jesus-probably is from Gander or something I don't know what to say.

Such a good movie. If anyone here hasn't watched it yet you need to stop horsing around at watch it right now.

In terms of cultural impact alone, it has to be the Halo series. 20 years ago now they revolutionized the fps genre. Their controller layout became the standard across all consoles. Their 2 weapon max carry limit, actual plot, wide open spaces, and community support were huge steps forward for the genre as well. Halo 2 was one of the first games to take advantage of Xbox live, and it really pioneered the console matchmaking scene. Not to mention that halo 2 was the best-selling entertainment OF ALL TIME. IT MADE MORE MONEY THAN TITANIC JAMES CAMERON WAS IN SHAMBLES.
