Noted, will give them a go eventually. H.S.K.T. by Sylvan Esso
It's all a desperate attempt to get my dad to finally love me.
These days I'm mostly sticking to one artist or album for a while so my competition is limited to that. Hey Mami by Sylvan Esso these vocals

I can't provide any kind of musical critique but, for what it's worth, this sounds brilliant to me. I'm excited to see what Yoko Shimomura comes out with for 2.5 but I also love hearing fan versions.
If you're still into streaming you could give OBS a go. Procaster (and Livestream really) is kinda ****.
@Cherry Berry can I just say your eyebrows are AMAZING

the drawback is of course me rewinding & replaying the han/leia kiss scene and i love you/i know scene about a billion times but let's be real that's not a drawback at all
the best way to watch star wars is everyday with me & a bowl of ice cream
Yeah that's one thing that's slightly confusing about the Elgato software, the recording button honestly looks like it's recording whether you press it or not (because of the flashback recording but that's only like 30 minutes or something). If you need any help / have questions about the software feel free to ask since I use it. There's also a looooot of videos on YT to help you because of Elgato's awesome partnership program.
Given the inherent weight of topics like mortality and metaphysics, my viewpoints are pretty -- maybe overly -- simplistic. The discussion of them of course interests me, and I love to see them explored (particularly through literature), but for my own life & philosophy, it's a pragmatic decision. There's really no way that we can ever learn an answer about whether God exists or not, about what happens after we die, so I really don't see purpose in wasting my time thinking too much about it. Of course, one can't always help it -- there have been times in my life when I'm absolutely overcome with the idea of mortality -- but sometimes choosing a standpoint that is most comfortable for you allows you to spend time on other things. Which again, it is definitely a simplistic way of living, and I don't approach all topics like this, but in this case it hasn't really failed me yet.
I choose to identify as agnostic-atheist despite it perhaps not being wholly accurate just because it appeals to my commitment-phobe tendencies -- as in, for all intents and purposes, I am an atheist, but I also don't feel comfortable with the absolute nature of atheism. I try to remain open to the possibility of spiritual forces or beings, or at least, open to the idea that I could be completely wrong in saying that there are none. That's not to say that all atheists are 100% certain and definite that there is no God, but I feel "agnostic-atheist" is sort of... soft atheism, haha. Metaphysically, while I have similar reservations about accepting one clean & absolute label, I am a materialist, yes. I do believe there is quite a lot to personhood, but its overall essence is biological. While it is perhaps a frightening viewpoint (no hope for afterlife/reincarnation), I also find its benefit is that it encourages one to live in the present, physical reality rather than worrying about what comes after (which is my primary issue with spiritualism).
If you're living in an abusive environment and have an opportunity to leave it then I think that's a no-brainer situation, despite how your mother may be trying to guilt you into staying. Without knowing the full extent of your relationship with your mom and your financial situation, though, I can't be much more specific than that. Can I ask how you plan to move out, financially? Do you have the money saved to pay your own way? Are you relying on your mother to contribute?
I really don't think it's necessary to infantilize people in this way. Maturity =/= age, and an awareness of mortality can have an overwhelming presence in even the youngest child's life. What if a child loses family members at a young age? Are they still "too young" to consider these questions? If anything, I think we should encourage children to value and cherish what they have in their lives, rather than inculcate them with this "you don't know what you have until it's gone" mindset that's so prevalent. The question of course is steeped in spirituality/religion. As an agnostic-atheist, I don't believe that, after death, I'll have any kind of conscious awareness, so I won't be able to "miss" anything. That said, I grew up without much money, so I have always had that awareness & appreciation of basic things like food, shelter, etc. I definitely wouldn't want to live without music or books or the internet... which I realize, basic as those may seem to so many of us, there is an overwhelming number of people without those things.
Oh wow didn't realize how long we were talking. It's a server issue that has affected other functions of the site so I am going to try to get it increased.
The easiest way to do it really is to just save the page as an HTML file via your browser. It's not a very clean output but it'll preserve the conversation nonetheless.
There's no need to take personal shots at one another guys. People are welcome to share their thoughts on the series here, even if in video form -- it's a KH site after all. Critiques are of course expected but please present them constructively and without berating one another.
Yeah it's not an issue with your browser or your computer so trying it on different ones won't help. I'll shoot an email to Jon to see if we can up the limits, sadly server stuff like this is out of my hands.
The interview with Famitsu that was just posted said they were working from a storyboard Nomura did up, so I imagine it'll be quite a bit more detailed than that in KH3 heh.
