As a forum mod but not an admin, I only have the power to give out custom titles that have been used before. On one hand, this is good because I do have the power to change names on discord and every single time I've done it I've gotten yelled at for being a dick about it. On the other hand, this is a bad thing because y'all should be prepared to have 30 new Village Idiots running around by the end of the year.

Which type are the last two titles you've given me? :lol:

Just dropping this for all my fellow Warhammer nerds who like a bit of oldschool death/thrash

Hope y'all like it!

Today the German government passed a new law for social media, so far they only had to delete stuff like hate speech, Nazi propaganda, death threats and rape threats, etc, now they are required to report that stuff directly to the federal police or a face a fine of up to 50 million Euros. Fittingly, same day on the news a German celebrity went to the police for receiving dozens of death threats and rape threats on Instagram for posting a bikini picture from her vacation, like what the fucking hell is wrong with these people, what goes on in their tiny brains... Hopefully that new law can have any kind of effect on cleaning up social media from all that garbage.

"What the hell is wrong with people?" is definitely the billion dollar question. As someone who has received threats of death and sexual assault, I certainly understand the need to curtail that, but gosh does it make me uncomfortable to have that policed by massive corporate entities and, well, the police. No easy answers.

German cops are far from perfect but as an American I think you'd be shocked to see them in action. They're still cops and you can still go full ACAB especially during protests, but compared directly to their U.S. counterparts they're almost more like social workers. 95% of the time I feel more safe than unsafe with them around.

What happened last night was horrible enough, but the AfD tweets that are inevitably going to pour in during the course of today will make me want to vomit up the food of the last three days again, maybe I should turn off the internet for the next 48 hours.

As I recall, twelve years ago on his old account rexxz had 500+ more posts than either of you do now. 9999. Pretty sure he will always be the imperius electronicus auctoris of the board.


Thorgrim got to exactly 10000 before switching to rexxz, but the forum purge knocked it down to 9980 iirc. drone also had an alt for a while that had quite a few so he's got me smoked in the totals but that's not what the leaderboard says.

Emp is probably the record holder at this point either way.



Forum purges and time away knocked off around 4000 of my posts. Ahhh those halcyon days when I had cracked the top ten in post count and basically lived here. No small feat since most of my posts were lengthy diatribes and long rambling monologues. I always found it odd that the counts worked that way, like the system was apparently actively keeping track and not just updating the number +1 postcount (woohoo). That was back when rexxz's Thorgrim account was the only one to crack 10000.

So we got Haunter, a couple Snorlax, and now Tauros as band names on the Archives. Do we try to get more Gen 1 Pokemon in or are we good to move on to some of the newer ones?

I actually have an industrial avant-garde atmospheric blackened death metal project called Porygon. We have an album in the works. Look for Augmenting the Cybernetic Hell's Satans of Fuck Across the Blasphemous Metaverse to drop next month.

Jesus there's a lot of words in that title, but I'd give it a spin on spec. ;-)

Fricken cherries are blossoming in February. Whole winter had two nights that were -1C, the entire rest of the "winter" was above zero. Not normal. No snow, no ice, no hoarfrost, no nothing.

Seems they've since been nuked but once upon a time there was a deathcore band here named Crossbreed Gyarados.

My real nerd obsession being represented with metal bands has already peaked with Jenovavirus.

Nah, so long as I know you and you ask nicely, I don't see a problem with it.

Other mods in the past may have been a little less forgiving.

Europa League match Frankfurt vs Salzburg started with a minute of silence for the Hanau victims, a few jackasses interrupted it, the entire stadium of nearly 50,000 people responded by chanting "Nazis raus" (Nazis out), that was beautiful.

Why I hate Hellhammer, in one sentence:

I just heard the demo version of Thorns' "Existence" from the reissue of their debut album, and I don't know if it was recorded with drum computer or with Hellhammer, there's no way to tell the difference.

The simple answer is that Hellhammer is a drum machine. His full name is "Hellhammer Automated Synthesized Drum Simulation Apparatus v4.37."

I asked for mine a few years ago from Napero (who is now absent?) and went down fine. Just be respectful!

There was someone a loooong while ago now who complained vehemently at the default newbie title "mallcore kid" :lol:

Well if they don't rage quit, just calmly explain that it is a default title while secretly setting it as their permanent custom title, then see the reaction when their post count increases to the Metal Newbie threshold.

I feel for you - up in the Welsh hills, and it's just been damp since July last year - no ice, one day of slushy snow, nothing below 0 for any stretch of time except when the wind was howling. Still the nutters in the village pub talk about global warming as something made up by the English / meedja / and so on.

The winter has been pitiful in Norway as well. We had 2-3 weeks of quite heavy snow in November where I live, but December and January has been like the Autumn, usually around 1-5 degrees, plenty of rain and winds. February has been slightly more wintry, with occasional snow that usually melts the following week.

I think his drums sound great on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, but other than that I can't think of an album where I enjoyed his drum sound. It was okay on Daemon, I guess.

For anyone out there who likes ramen noodles, Nongshim’s kim chi flavour is absolutely outstanding. I would have posted this in the cooking thread, but then, this is not much more “cooking” than microwave popcorn is.

Agreed, they are quite tasty and they do capture a bit of the genuine kimchi spice flavor. One problem though is that one pack has something like 90% of your daily sodium, so definitely not a healthy meal. :lol:
