Say no more, I'm on board!

It paired super well with Escape from Butcher Bay, as well. Two high-tension first-person games with limited lighting released within a year of each other, I was in heaven.

Shall do my best 🫡

Gnosia always looks so good, this might be what tips me over into trying it

No stream tonight. Unwell. Will return later this week.

YouTube video by Los Campesinos! - Topic Knee Deep at Atp

youtu.be/4NL4EnpB1GY?...
A song of infidelity discovered, beautifully told in the LC! style.

Entries 371 to 380 of Every Album Ever, Ranked. Hold On Now, Youngster enters at 375, just above Garbage's Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, and just below JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown's Scaring the Hoes. Fave track is Knee Deep at ATP.

The cover to Los Campesinos!'s debut album, Hold On Now, Youngster..., depicting weird little cartoon men, a dog, and a bigger man. This is the 767th album added to the list, because I felt like it.

New album list entry!

LC!'s debut album is a noisy fucking mess of wry witticisms and gang vocals, and it is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Every song hits, its cleverness is couched in emotional depth, and you can dance to it. In at 375.

Aaaaauuughhh!!! The core! The core is blue hit! Screwdriver you rat! You weren't stabilizing the beryllium sphere, you slipped ans gave me the ol' spicy ball! How could you given your own scientist, Slotin , THE SPOCY BALL!?

A perfect game to have for that purpose as well. Like that and MGS3 feel like the best games to pick up an old clear save and blast through with all the completion rewards and the like.

YouTube video by Chumbawamba - Topic Give the Anarchist a Cigarette

youtu.be/IW68ETGrbqM?...
Give the Anarchist a Cigarette is a lot of things, but at its core it's a very fun diss track against one Bob Dylan and his distance from true anarchy, basically based off of a single moment and quote.

The chumbawamba Anarchy childbirth cover, which is largely why I CAN'T FUCKING GET IT ON VINYL AT ANY REASONABLE PRICE.

BOY HOWDY I WONDER WHY THIS ALBUM DIDN'T CATCH ON MUCH.

Frankly, a beautiful bit of anti-capitalist strategy. Become unsellable.

Entries 111 to 120 of Every Album Ever, Ranked. Anarchy enters at 116, just above Transgender Dysphoria Blues, and just below The Zombies' Odessey and Oracle. Fave track is Give the Anarchist a Cigarette.

The current cover to Chumbawamba's Anarchy, featuring drawings of flowers. This cover is the one used everywhere because the original one of a baby being born was MAYBE a bit too graphic to be featured on streaming sites and the like. The Japanese release also used this art. Elements of ska, folk, punk, dance, rubbing shoulders together in some of the most intensely and unapologetically political music you could have ever imagined in the 90s. Homophobia is unflinching in its exploration of the violence born of this specific bigotry and its spread, and the callousness shown by authority towards the queer people suffering under the (still prevalent to this day) bigoted attacks against them for being who they are. Enough is Enough is a crucial anti-fascist anthem that draws a line that we must draw again and again if we are to survive current times. Timebomb is as much about the act of bombing as it is about the infamy gained, as it is about music and fame and righteousness. Mouthful of Shit is a dance banger seeing the likes of New Labour for exactly what they were. There's clever references and lyrical lifts galore, but no less originality across the record as a result. Societal slights big and small all inform one of the most righteous records ever made. It's fucking great. Chumbawamba are fucking great. Get on board. This is the 766th album added to the list, and I added it because I wanted to.

New album list entry!

(Censored cover art featured, actual cover art in replies)

Might be a wild swing, but there's a bunch of Chumbawamba albums that desperately need critical reappraisal, reissue, and mass exposure, none more than Anarchy. In at 116.

Today's album list update features some cover art that might be a bit much for some, so uh that'll be fun.

You *can* legally publish a book on comics with images without asking the rightsholders for permission, both under US and Japanese law, which allow for "fair use" and "scholarly citation" of visuals. BUT there are important caveats:

Vinyl for Lola Young's I'm Only Fucking Myself, Evanescence's Fallen, and Elbow's Audio Vertigo. Also in shot are some big thick marker lines my youngest daughter has inflicted upon my mattress.

Vinyl update for the month, covering a wide variety of bases.

Broken Sword will forever be the enemy of my backlog, as I replay it like twice a year without fail

25 games to get to know me.

100% stealing Nate's structure here, give or take one minor difference. But yes these are all either fundamental to me or communicate something about me.

Row 1 - My personal top 5
2 - fighting games
3 - shooters
4 - 'adventure games'
5 - other stuff

Stream was promising, pivoted to the Power Wash 2 demo at the end and crashed the computer! Perhaps a sign to check settings before boiling the computer alive.

Twitch Twitch is the world

Okay, live in 15 @ twitch.tv/letmebebee for one last do-over of the Super Metroid/A Link to the Past cross-up randomiser! If we get a fail state this time we'll move onto other things.

... also maybe we'll wash something at the end of the stream. Maybe.

Stream tonight might have a delayed start, if it happens at all. Shall see.

I can't stop thinking about the guy hitting a clip in dig dug

This is not praise for Make Believe.

"Protests Are Highly Effective, Met Police Confirm"

Weezer hot(cold?) take: Make Believe is better than the green album.

Anyway props to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD for just flat saying "in times of crisis your supposed protectors reveal themselves as the racist lynch mobs they always were" 57 years ago

I'm partial to horror, but I do find it often populated with artists who are, in their way, trying to help anyone who will listen. They report the troubles of the world without clouding it with sentiment and try to find a path forward. George Romero is right at the front of that pack
