They're using Erika's voice AND likeness? Shit I might actually play this (JK but I will watch all the gameplay they are featured in).

People would do that also by putting the thing in an oven, iirc. And it fucking worked.

I have! It's good but I did get stuck near the end and couldn't win some fights that may be optional?

This makes gamer gate type harassment easier because those who the harassee blocked still can see their posts, screenshot, then sic their followers on them.

Yes, you could do this before with alts, but most often, that small barrier was enough to let them forget about you.

WRT Melon's posts, this would only change things for users who Melon blocked, not users who blocked Melon. And I guess Melon would be able to see the posts of those who blocked him (and he and others like him could sic their followers on vulnerable users without using an alt).

You already still see his posts in the feed if you block him. And he still can't reply to you after the change if you have him blocked.

I'm still against the change, mind you, because blocking somebody should block them from seeing what you post in case of a stalker/harasser that isn't dedicated enough to make an alt account, which is most of them.

X is about to remove the current block button, meaning that if an account is public, their posts will be visible to the blocked users as well. in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

Note that women and non-binary are way more against this change than men in the replies and on this thread. Men and masc folks, we should take their word for it that this is a negative change.

He's wearing a fat suit. Probably to get attention on social media (like from this post).

Africa Will Be Great Again - Femi Kuti (youtube.com)
 

Femi Kuti - Africa Will Be Great Again lyrics

{Verse} Can you believe there was a time in Nigeria, the exchange was 2 Dollars to one Naira? (Can you believe?) Cost of living was cheap, education at all level was also free (Can you believe?) That time one Naira na plenty money, one thousand go make you feel like king (Can you believe?) Two hundred and fifty naira go fly you out of the country (Can you believe?) Nigerians were profiting from the oil, many jubilating on the dance floor (Can you believe?) Our father “Fela” cited corruption and wonder case economy destruction (Can you believe?) Say with all our Oil money, too many Nigerians were suffering and poor (Can you believe?) instead make our leaders listen, them beat am and lock am for prison (Can you believe?) Using austerity and inflation to cover corruption and stealing (Can you believe?) Political criminals walk around free, living the Country easy (Can you believe?) {Chorus} Africa will be great again, where peace and love will reign (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again when corruption stops and our Country politicians stop to dey chop (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again when we have first class institutions, infrastructures and not political destruction (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again na (Africa will be great again) (?) (Africa will be great again) Stronger and greater Africa (Africa will be great again) be inspired, don’t be tired (Africa will be great again) Don’t be tired, be inspired (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) (?) (Africa will be great again) Stronger and greater Africa (Africa will be great again) be inspired, don’t be tired (Africa will be great again) Don’t be tired, be inspired (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again

This Ain't The Way You Go Out, by Lucy Rose (lucyrose.bandcamp.com)
 

Highly recommend this album. The topic is

CW medical misogyny, horrible illness, chronic painshe had post-pregnancy osteoporosis (undiagnosed) with exquisite pain and her doctors wouldn't fucking believe her and LITERALLY called her hysterical. She asked for an MRI and they refused and then she paid for her own and guess what? She had 10 fractured vertebrae.

Aside from the powerful topic, the album is all in the same key and has like 10 distinct, amazing grooves on similar chords. This plus the addition of several interludes gives the impression that it isn't just a few songs, but it's actually all part of one longer work. Lucy's voice is amazing, and her piano arrangements are KILLER.

The audio production (especially creative techniques) are to die for as well. Excitingly beautiful reverb, and on the track Dusty Frames there is this warbly effect on the piano that sounds like it was badly compressed to MP3 which brings back major nostalgia for me.

You can listen on Bandcamp for free, but 8 pounds/10 USD is a steal for this record.

I wanted to buy the signed vinyl but shipping is over $20 to the US. The album cover is CLASSIC style, though.

Favorite Tracks: Over When It's Over, Dusty Frames

Steam Next Fest Gems Thread (hexbear.net)
 

This Next Fest is the best I've seen yet! List any cool game demos or trailers here.

My standouts:

Berserk Boy - Mega-Man trope game that looks to have great platforming and run + gun gameplay and pixel art.
Death of the Reprobate - Midieval art collage point and click game.
Bride Into the Cave - Horror puzzle game about a minority girl in ancient China trying to save herself, and a myth about an cave that houses a deity who names a girl and her soul disappears from the the mortal realm. The trailer music was incredible and the art was also stunning.
Hauntii - Monochromatic (or sometimes a few shades of the same color) game in which you play a ghost and you possess various objects and animals to make progress. Casual / Adventure
Chasing the Unseen - Shadow of the colossus type game where you climb impossibly massive animals like snakes and Octopi in a surreal world.
Ultros - Psychedelic Metroidvania with an unbelievable 2d art style where you "wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus, a Cosmic uterus holding an ancient demonic being.
