Thoughts on the FF7 remake so far?
-
From someone who hasn't played the original, the PTSD + story alterations are a bit weird, the Eng. version sometimes has this corny "Top Gun"-like dialogue, and the game is really fucking horny (in an oddly charming way, at least.) All that said, the worldbuilding is phenomenal, crazy attention to detail, and it feels really cinematic.
I really don't like Midgar's grungy, industrial aesthetic, but the other positives I mentioned might convince me to buy it if it's ported to PC.

slide into my dms if u love the raid

Why on earth did the drummer or lunch just upload a video of him touching his dogs penis
-
Can anyone help me get the colors in a scan I did to more closely resemble the colors of the official image?
-
This is what I ended up with:
Flesh tone is still nagging at me, and there's some detail I couldn't get back in the hair from the scan. That's probably as close as I can get for now. Hope you don't mind that I took some liberties clearing up some dust + stains.

At least for me, tepid is a good way to put it given the current events. I have plenty to keep me busy (given the field I'm in), but it's really unsettling with nothing "observable" happening around me. Currently archiving all the "no-audience" vk livestreams across a plethora of streaming platforms, which are a good way to catch up with current bands.
How about yourself?

what band was this guy in? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQeXLnV36Il8ykok3N4kJQ/featured

Viacom copyright claimed a zone tan parody, now they get 3 dollars a month for claiming Xj9 likes it in the butt. It's cannon. The more you know 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌟

Gal Gadot was lambasted for imagine and now Yoshiki is doing the same thing

That look you get when you cough out in public, but it's smokers cough.

Huh, was never super crazy about WANDS... Now that Mikoto (ジグザグ) is their new vocalist for their revival after 20 years, I might have to revisit them. It's been quite the journey from Ray°C to doing a Conan opening. Happy for him being part of this historic moment.
-
Dug a bit more into the comments. It's theorized that...
- After オトイロハ (otoiroha) disbanded (which was really just a brief hiatus before their ジグザグ reformation), 長戸大幸 (Mr. Daiko Nagato), founder of the Being Group which produced ZARD & WANDS, scouted him for his "indies-era" voice. So he was familiar w/ his visual kei bands.
- He went under the pen name 上原大史 (Daishi Uehara) and did some composition/arrangement work for a ZARD tribute album and other works (w/ Being Group.)
- He performed in 琳派ROCK (Rimpa Rock) (shown at 5:16.) This alludes to the fact that he was already involved w/ the Being Group.
- Became the 3rd vocalist of WANDS. The band suddenly active after 20 years (which makes this all the more special.)
* This is an important resource:

Completely overlooked the intense fan-research that goes into j-idol blogs & wikis. I should know considering I've done the same for some Johnny's -related v-artists. Going to comb over this to fix some details.
** Bonus Fact:

It seems like ジグザグ's channel views grew fivefold with the 真っ赤なLip MV release. Also explains why CD prices have shot up too (something I actually observed a week-or-so ago.)

It's unmistakably his voice. I think they just keep it a "secret" like how mafumafu is kamiboku's vo./gt. .
I'd say that's pretty dead-on (-sans the angle.)
I had no idea until I got some Detective Conan-related video in my YT suggestions. Had to do a double-take considering this is already a few months old.

Any tips on how to best invest your money right now? Where to buy shares, etc.

TV or radio,I keep hearing about this coronavirus thing during the day. Not sure if it's time to get really scared
-
Can everyone just say some good (and bad [?]) new VK bands?
-
Ryu (ex-MoNoLith) is the vocalist of ミスイ(misui), so you'd probably be a fan of them. 零[Hz] and HAKLO are relatively new (if you consider the past 2 years "new".) Both are pretty fun, imo.
Can also vouch for nurié, ラク×ガキ (Raku x Gaki), and gulu gulu.

anyone give me examples of vk guys who transitioned and became women? i know anzu from atmos*note is one and there's another relatively famous case that ive forgotten and its annoying me
-
every time I see "piracy = bhad" manifestos in VK community I'm retraumatized by flashbacks of that one :·゚✧*⁂☙𝓡𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓮𝓻~𝓮𝓷~𝓢𝓸𝓲❧⁂☆*:·゚✧ stan going on a utube report spree to punish the world for his band never making it into major oricon rankings before a good decade later Satsuki's personality of a human colostomy bag would come to light and good sisT would ditch VK for whatever been trending around, shitting on her diehard Italian admirer by proxy.

only on FB can I get chastised for caring more about coronavirus than Kobe Bryant's death. I get all the contributions he had made and all the liveshe has affected, but only in America can celebrity death outweigh something that can turn into an epidemic.
-
having facebook, fertile ground for that zero-sum/"false dilemma" mentality, is the first mistake in that sentence, lol (though that's clearly reflected by the people, not so much the platform.) the deaths of those helicopter occupants was tragic, but people have to understand that the nCoV situation has exponentially higher priority for those dealing with it.
dunno, stupid gonna stupid.
*also forgot to mention that I realize the need for FB, for like work or extended family where it's the SNS of choice. i'm glad I can just get away w/ LinkedIn and GitHub when it comes to my actual identity... for now...

I just got told I have an infection in my skull that's spreading to my brain...

Just got back from the doctor, and its official. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

To add to your last point, it definitely takes a huge weight off of your shoulders when you have a clearer picture of what's going on in your body.
I'm not sure if you were diagnosed with the vascular type of EDS (vEDS), but regardless, don't overlook the continued advances of EDS research and treatment methods. As long as you're mindful with what you have and keep a positive mindset, that's really the best you can do.
EDS doesn't define you, but maybe vk bandomen do =P.

anyone compiling their 2019 favorites? i kind of have a list (while still going through some releases i missed), but it's nothing big
-
Not visual kei, but everything at this point and after is 2019 j-indie stuff I liked for the year (pruned from another playlist.)

2020 got a lotta damn nerve just poppin up like this. I still haven't listened to like half the 2019 stuff I was interested in 🤣
-
Nurié is by far the best new band we’ve seen this year. I wish them nothing but great things next year.
-
There's an j-indie "collator/playlist-maker" YT channel that's been around for a few years, and I've followed his main yearly playlists for two of them. Nurié (this latest MV) is the first vk band I've seen show up on that list, to my knowledge.
Really impressive stuff. I'll need to catch up w/ their other songs.
