You’ve got “Warez” wrong, it’s explicitly (and always has been) pirated software.

Do you have a “vices” budget? Maybe that’s one approach. You both get $100 or whatever and she blows hers on mobile games, while you’re cutting back and have money for other things.

Sorry, I didn’t phrase that clearly. Sunn O))) was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. GY!BE was terrible.

Sunn built up such an intensity and anticipation, and during the show they put a hell of a show. Fog covered the venue… they had vocalist Attila with them who was wearing a robe covered in mirror fragments and he had lasers on the end of each finger that he would bounce off the mirrors and into the crowd/fog. I’ve been to a few hundred shows and this light show alone would rank it up there, but the performance was something else too. It was the most intense and loud show ever (don’t forget your hearos, lol), you could feel your skin and clothing vibrate. Supposedly the Brooklyn Masonic Temple has no noise ordinance to follow because they’re grandfathered out of it, or something like that. It was loud.

With Godspeed You! Black Emperor I would have been better off if I stayed home and listened to low quality mp3. No stage presence, no engaging the crowd, nothing notable to say really. They sounded off and bored, like they were doing this because their family was held hostage. I don’t know what I expected, but it was at least decent sound quality. This was not long after they got back together, so maybe that played into it.

I saw Sunn and Godspeed You Black Emperor at different times in the same venue (Brooklyn Masonic Temple) and they were both the best show and the worst show I’ve ever seen in my life, respectively. Walked out halfway through Godspeed, it was so bad. Anyway, Sunn O))) rocks

Sorry you’re getting downvoted. I don’t know if I agree with you, but back in the golden ages of Reddit the rule was don’t downvote because you disagree, downvote because it’s a shit comment. I don’t think your comment was shit… I think we’ve brought way too much of modern reddit to lemmy.

A few things:

• Many (most?) ratings these days are self-assessed by the developer/publisher.
• The review process has been heavily streamlined through IARC, so you can effectively get ESRB/PEGI/etc simultaneously. Governmental ratings (like GRAC in South Korea) still require you go through the government agency – but some stores like Epic or Oculus can effectively do this for you – and even then it’s still self-assessed.
• Some of the storefronts offer help with ratings, in a way doing what a publisher would do, if you self-publish. You take a quiz to determine ratings and ask questions before the rating boards even know you exist.
• Ratings boards don’t typically play the game. Sample screenshots and descriptions can be included in some submissions, especially if there’s a grey area or the submitter is inexperienced, but it’s often just apply and get your cert.

You should watch it if you haven’t! It’s one of their best eps. They even got together to do a Rifftrax version of it live in theaters.

Do you mean Manos: The Hands of Fate?

MST3K made it famous in what is probably one of their best episodes.

we should really update this to “After when some people thought Jesus was born but they fucked up by 4-6 years. Also why is there no year zero?”

AWSPTJWBBTFUB4YAWITNYZ doesn’t really roll off the tongue, though. Maybe it’s better if someone can translate that into Latin.

Edit: Google Translate says “Post cum quidam putant natus est Jesus, sed eruditionis 4-6 annis. Cur etiam annus nullus est nullus?” so I propose “Post cum”

indeed. It comes in as reallyshadywebsite@squidspinachfootball.xyz, so not only can you easily filter/label them, but you can immediately tell who had a security breach and/or sold your email.

Google doesn’t even factor into this. Go to your registrar of choice (namecheap, etc), buy a domain, and setup that domain to forward all emails to your email address.

So if you have abraxas@gmail.com and you just bought abraxas.me, in namecheap you can setup *@abraxas.me to go to your gmail account, and then sign up for sites using whatever@abraxas.me you want. There’s no + or - involved, use any word you want. Signing up for lemmy.world? lemmyworld@abraxas.me will go right to your gmail (or whatever email you use)

you can also just buy your own domain and set it up your gmail/whatever as the catchall, then use appname@mydomain.com

Can you share the older emails? I believe you, I’m just curious what they say if they’re personalized.
