I think it's a genre that was incredibly locked into it's time. The sound, the vibe, the aesthetics all coagulated into this peak Y2K moment, where it looked like it's the future... And then basically it was a musical blip, apart from a few bangers and Linkin Park as one the most successful bands of all time. Is there even a (known) band in last ten years that would call what they make "nu metal"? Even Linkin Parks music sounded nothing like their early stuff after 2007 or so.

The only thing that would follow one billion Americans is zero Americans, on account of the ocean being turned into boiling acid in like 3 years.

Fun fact: Justin Hawkins (The Darkness singer) has a neat YouTube channel that is worth checking out.

Charming, quite nerdy guy with lots of stories about music, rockstar life and it's downsides, interviews and normal youtube-style content.

Critical support to your dad. The horny Anne Frank album is not exactly what I would call driving music.

I'm sure you can just consolidate all the people called Mike into a single guy with the "Duplicate Entry" function.

The rock splitting scene is one of my favourite cutscenes of all time. That theme just goes harddd and the fact that it's a frogdude just makes it that much more wonderous.

Thanks Toryiama. Absolute legend.

Rude.

What a miracle it was. A genuinely leftists game filled to the brim with creativity, humor, charm, absurdity, personality, world building and gut wrenching drama. A political game, in every sense of the word and an instant cult classic. So good that even the mainstream simply could not ignore it and just had to roll with the moment.

Of course it couldn't last. Nothing good in this world ever does.

Nuclear power is literally more expensive at this point than renewables. No, you can't keep using the shitty, cracking, deadly waste producing nuclear plants of the past, not even the power companies want that, and building new ones takes over 10 years, not counting all the planning and beaurocracy you have to go through. And to become CO2 neutral after all the excavation, construction and mining necessary takes another decade. Nuclear power plants are MASSIVE engineering undertakings.

Meanwhile modern windmills can be mass-produced right now and take like 5 years depending on their placement to be both cost and CO2 neutral. After that it's LITERALLY free energy for a good 30 years. And they become cheaper and bigger and more efficient every single year. And btw if you ever pull out an article or a calculation that is older than a year for any comparison, you are dealing with OLD data. They have become far more efficient and flexible in their placement and will likely continue to do so.

The anti-nuclear protests were completely right. Stop playing the people who wanted a safer world without nuclear waste and incidents against the modern climate movement.

TL;DR: Wheels on windmill go brrrr, nuclear power is not a short term solution and never has been.

The ghost of Kiyv. We misunderstood all along.

Googling that just brought up weird ass crank pages. Not that gang, sorry.

Not that I don't enjoy a good intelligence conspiracy, but I'll go with Occam's razor here. Russians poisoning a rowdy russian political activist with good old russian warcrime chemicals is as good as any explanation.

Feels like this is the only lesson from this.

The motherfucker was a real believer in... whatever variation of a liberal-fash ego trip he made up for himself. The russian state and judicial system fucked with him at every point of his attempt to stir the public or participate in politics and for some fucking reason he kept pushing his luck.

Then they poisoned him with chemical weapon grade poison and almost killed him, then he got offered one last possible exit from ANGELA MERKEL herself. And he just went back. Commited to the bit till the end.
