I suppose nationalities or cultures would have been better! People are not their nation and culture crosses borders and all that. As for calling Nigeria lesser known, I suppose I mean more the culture and people of Nigeria than the nation itself. Lots of people where I’m at know of Nigeria at least by name, and typically they think of internet scammers. But if I asked random folks where I’m at who Fela Kuti was I’d get lots of no’s back.

Could have worded it as “lesser known cultures” or “cultures not commonly discussed”.

Oh almost certainly. I have ADHD, prolly autistic, and I’ve had many times where my mind stopped processing what people are saying. Which is bad when you work tourism xD

It can depend on the mixing, too. Not just in regards to volume, but also in how the vocals are edited. My recent obsession has been Dusk at Cubist Castle, shit’s absolutely amazing. The way a lot of the vocals are mixed and processed are super cool, like layering the same lines over themselves five times over with subtle delays and panning, it sounds real cool! But it makes it sound a lot more distant to me as a result.

So I’m not deaf, not in the slightest, but I struggle to understand lyrics in music. I love music, I live and breathe it and I’m gonna dedicate my life to it, but I’ve always struggled with understanding lyrics in music. To me, the vocalist is just another instrument in the mix. Having lyrics to read helps me appreciate my favorite tunes more!

Honestly that’s something I never learned about until I was like, 23, 24. Still know bugger all about it and that’s fucked. Do you know any good resources where I can learn about this stuff?

If you’re wanting a good controller, 8BitDo has a fantastic Bluetooth controller styled after the SNES controller (with extra shoulder buttons and joysticks!), the SN30 Pro. If you want it wired, I think they have a wired version, but otherwise you can get a USB-C cable and plug it into your phone that way. Easily replaced if the cable breaks, anyhow.

I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was “Helaas pindakaas.” If not that, I also love the insult “droplul.”

I want what you’re having mate, might make sleeping off this awful fever better.

Honestly though I’m here for this level of personification. When something is very important to someone it often takes on a perceived personality which is just super fun for jokes and banter with them.

Loading zones are regions in a game space where you have to sit through a loading screen. People call Starfield a loading zone simulator because of the lengthy amounts of time spent just loading and not playing the game.

George W. Bush receiving a particular phone call, circa September of 2001.

I was hoping that the future would be like Star Trek, a beautiful high tech paradise where we worked our problems out and live in a post-scarcity world. Instead we’re getting Deus Ex, minus the shades and trench coats.

Anybody knows that one waterfall attraction in the Southeast US? The one that advertises bloody everywhere? Waterfall is pumped during the dry seasons, otherwise there’d be nothing to see. Lots of the formations are fake, and the Cactus and Candle formation was either moved from a different spot in the cave, or is from a different cave in New Mexico. Management doesn’t want people to know that, but fuck 'em.
