Oh yeah anyway #metalsky please listen to Ulcerate. Atmospheric (?) technical death metal.

I dare say it is the closest you'll ever describe as atmospheric technical death metal.
On paper it shouldn't work, but they start with a melodic throughline that could easily fit an atmospheric black metal band rather than death, then have the tech-death-isms surround that melody.

The reason Trump pardoned Jan 6 attackers is to send a message to his supporters that political violence against lawmakers and government officials is not just acceptable — it's now official policy.

I wonder if on some level it’s because the discourse around games is *generally* less edifying/rarified/poetic than around other art forms (including sports) and therefore it’s harder to get into vicariously

When you tell people not to wave their home country flag, you are telling them that these stories don't matter, that what matters most is xenophobic feelings about those stories
When you say immigrants don't have the right to cross these borders, you ignore the debt the U.S. owes the Global South
