  1. Just out of curiosity, have you ever followed one of your favorite musicians/actors/etc on social media, and lost your fandom for them as a result of how they act/what they post?

      No, because I don't use social media to avoid pretty much what everyone said above. I don't care about politics or drama, I can't do anything about it and so I don't want to hear about it 24/7 and get harassed because I don't have an interest.

      That would probably be the main reason I'd lose interest in someone aside obviously from some horrible act like animal abuse / child abuse.

      I only made a twitter account this year to keep up with obscure bands releases, but I log in once a week to scan over lol.

      most vk twitters are milquetoast so no not really

      I mainly follow VK band guys and japanese gyas. I avoid western artists because they won't shut up with the politics and idiotic opinions about everything that happens.

       

      I don't care about some actor's opinion on the Trump Administration or global warming.

  2. So I've heard conflicting opinions... Should I do the free update to Windows 10 or not?

      Some friends loved it, some had a huge problem with it. I personally am very attached to Windows 7, though I use Windows 8 at work... to me the biggest downside of W8 is the not-yet-fixed bugs and the lack of tutorials to solve those. But this is getting better as time goes, so why not.

      meant biggest downside of W10* oops

  3. Omg, the leaked Trump video of him being disgusting toward women is actually turning some of the remaining Republicans on my FB. There is a gawd!

      I wish :( They're coming to Brazil this month, but it's still way too far and expensive for me to go. Also @fitear1590their album's already leaked a few days ago if you're interested.

      @platy I would agree with that "unsettling" is a really fitting word!
      @saishuu Toni Collette was brilliant!

      The film was a damn ride from start to finish; the only thing I'm going to say about the plot is that you'll be pissed on several characters' behalf.

      Cool, thanks everyone! KEEL is the only one I've heard so far and while I enjoyed it decently last week, now I don't remember it. Gonna have to revisit it.

  9. Goddammit! I forgot I signed up for the Apple Music free trial (why god why?) and I just got charged for my first month. I don't even use it! :/

      10 bucks, so not awful, but I just legitimately don't understand how/where to even use it. I seriously had to Google how to change my subscription status to stop the auto-renew BS. So just an FYI, Apple is playing sneaky.

      I had no idea Administrator's vocalist was in this band. Guess I really should give them a proper listen now.

    3. fitear1590

      fitear1590

      Yay, saishuu! I can definitely see you enjoying them! They have a lot of indie crossover appeal (maybe, comparable with Yeti).

    4. saishuu

      saishuu

      Judging from the sample video I listened to earlier, I definitely will! Liking the vocalist beforehand will make it easier too. I'll make sure to get their stuff asap.

  11. How would you rank Yeti's 4 mini albums so far? From "best" to "worst," go!

      I think he meant rate all four. 1st one was best, 3rd one was second best, 2nd one is ranked 3 and the 4th one i got tired of hearing the same exact stuff.

    3. anieresus

      anieresus

      II obviously didn't read it right lol I agree with anakuro first one is the best maybe change the 2nd one to last, 3rd is 2nd and 4th is 3rd.

      @colorfuljinsei @platy Thanks, about 2 years ago is what I was thinking.
      @AimiGen7 lol, sadly this is the world we live in. I use German as litmus test and since "Influencer" (yes, straight from trendy English) has entered German, then I think it must be somewhat established.

    3. Shir0

      Shir0

      it iis for quite some time now  actually. My seminar paper was about Influencer ( did it in German and yes I used the English word cuz like u thought it somewhat became an established term) and during my research I found articles that were over 2 years old already but imo its still relatively new most of the

      "useful" articles I used were not even a year old

      I absolutely love it! (given that I'm partial to electronic stuff) Although, I feel like I'm listening to a different band. Whether that is a good thing or not is up to the listener. As much as I'd like to hear from this "side" of DIV, I hope this isn't a permanent venture.

    3. beni

      beni

      Pretty good, but nothing amazing. Definitely more of a worthwhile listen than when I first tried them out with their first album. Maybe I'm just warming up to them more.

    4. fitear1590

      fitear1590

      @colorfuljinsei, I think I agree with you most. I realllly like it, but it also sounds way too far removed from DIV's rock sound. As much as I believe the first album is their strongest full release, I think the "漂流彼女" single was their most deft mixing of the rock and electronic elements.

  18. Can any UVERworld fans tell me if they have more songs like "優しさの雫" or is this one just a fluke?

  20. I know I'm years late, but I noticed Sailor Moon Crystal was on Hulu, so I started watching it recently. I kind of love it?! I only casually watched the 90s series. It's of course a classic, but I could never bring myself to watch every single episode, because of the tedious "monster of the week" structure and the absolute milking of transformation/attack animation sequences. This remake, which I hear follows the manga much more closely, has much better pacing, a more serious tone, and a lot more variety when it comes to attacks. Some cheap CGI and nothing beats the original music, but overall, a really worthy remake, imo!

      @MamoHulu has the first two seasons of the 90s series dubbed (the new Viz dub, which is quite good); I assume they will keep adding the dubbed seasons, as they become available?

      (And all 3 seasons of Crystal are in both dubbed/subs)
