    Dang I should've done a favorite Tiger King character poll

    And I specifically mean favorite, not least-hated or least-disgusted-by

    I voted for Fiona Apple because I fully intend on listening to her new album but the last album I listened to in full was Filigree and Shadow by This Mortal Coil

    I listened to Fetch the Bolt Cutters on repeat yesterday and I acknowledge its genius but I couldn't quite get hooked, but I don't think its purpose is to get you hooked

    It feels like it's just exactly what Fiona Apple felt like she had to say. It really feels like a masterpiece, awesome-in-the-religious-sense, almost hostile in its uncompromising vision

    I think I'm missing something by not watching Tiger King.

    Then again, as someone named "Tony" who as a kid got a ton of shit for his love of tigers, in no small part thanks to Frosted Flakes... well, I'd only be happy if the tigers won. And I don't know what that would mean in the context of the show.

    Wandering is there no room in your heart for games full of violence and lacking vibrant color

    Like my favorite game is actually monochromatic and violent!

    it's funny how we can spoon people but not fork them.

    I've only heard of Destroyer but only because Kaputt is such a good song about a certain wistful, searching state of mind

    I just bought 'The Slow Rush' by Tame Impala. It came out in February. It's a fucking fantastic album, and only their fourth. :) 8-)

    I was thinking about adding Tame Impala to the poll but I wasn't sure if they or Caribou were more relevant to the scene

    After thinking about it for one second it seems trivially true that Tame Impala would've been the better option but alas

    @Surfpossum I have an elgato hd60s that I only use for capturing console games. When you say you're playing destiny, are you doing it on a console? I haven't used one that is interior like the one you've got. I only use it to capture consoles though, anything on the pc should go straight into obs without needing the extra step.

    I've been listening to The Strokes new album, The New Abnormal.

    https://youtu.be/o4qsjmLxhow

    Really strikes me as a nice cross between their last two albums, with splashes of Juicebox here and there.

    Yeah, luckily it seems the time I switched the encoder in OBS to NVENC didn't take, so I just did that again and it seems to have gotten rid of the stuttering that I was trying to fix in the first place.

    I dunno why I assumed the Elgato card would somehow take some of the load off of my computer, but I can go back to ignoring it forever now.

    You know, I can't think of any big comebacks lately. A big comeback like Elvis had with primetime specials and sold out theaters and such. The Foo Fighters' 2020 comeback tour was canceled due to the Plague.

    I don't share the same sentiment about rock but I would more describe this album as rock-adjacent pop than rock.

    The album is evocative of a long drive on a warm sunny day, a barbecue with good friends, and sleeping in because you're a little hungover and have nowhere to be. Your mileage may vary.

    Oh, and I think this was released this year as well!

    https://youtu.be/M9SGYBHY0qs

    Although for me this album is more associated with the time before the quarantine, when I would sometimes get up at 3-4 am to go to work so I could get some time to experiment.
