the mid 00s were a special time. one canadian mouse man discovered the forbidden technique of playing chords on eighth notes, then switching to offbeats when the beat dropped. this discovery carried edm for probably a solid decade

listening back to some of my faves of this style, there is something very soothing about the simplicity of it. just these deep, clean, resonant plucks.

Spoiler:

How are you getting on @Dirty Duck? Anyone else playing? This is weirdly scratching an itch I've had ever since Pro Evolution Soccer changed. Most teams and a lot of players weren't licensed in the old days but it had an exceptional creator and editor, so when a new game came out I'd spend my first few days editing player models, kits and other stuff like pitches. I'm not happy with Solid Snake though, can't get his face right.]]>

I'm heading to China on 1st May, really looking forward to going back - I spent a month in Chengdu back in 2016, so it will be like a ten year anniversary trip for me (even if I'm not going back to Chengdu).

I've got a little over two weeks booked off for it. Hoping to do a crescent tour of cities starting in Beijing, and even planning on doing a few Kung Fu lessons whilst there (booked one in with the Shaolin Temple as part of a group lmao. Looking forward to seeing if what people say about Shaolin Temple being a state-sponsored McDojo is true).]]>

I've had a severe hyperfixation on ASOIAF and it's associated media for the past month or two, in no part due to the debut of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Excellently made and it feels like a true return to form to GoT Season 1 - Season 4 quality - and it is very faithful to the Egg & Dunk novellas.

I watched House of the Dragon's first season when it debuted, but i'm just not feeling it. They stripped the source material of its teeth with this one, and are trying to over simplify and make a very complicated story more appealing to a general audience. They've also created one of the most annoying sub-fandoms i'v ever seen.

Aegon the Conqueror is getting a movie. That should be interesting, i'm very curious how well this IP performs in the box office vs the silver screen.]]>

Stills:

Looks great but that was to be expected given the first two.
I really enjoyed Across the Spider-Verse and have been anticipating this one ever since. Probably the only Marvel project I've been anticipating in years really, can't believe it's nearly been 3 since it released already.]]>

||WHAT ARE ORGANIZATIONS||
Organizations are groups that members may choose to join. They function as forum "teams" that members can fly the colours of. After joining an organization you will display their button in your post bit and will gain access to its Mother Base topic where you can chat with your fellow org members. Your activity around the forum will then contribute to your organization's Power Ranking which is updated monthly.

||WHY TO JOIN AN ORGANIZATION||
The organization scene encourages a feeling of camaraderie towards members in the same org as you as well as some friendly rivalry with members of other orgs. Members of organizations may like to collaborate and create custom graphics, events, or promotional material to show off around the forum and convince others to join, or they may keep an eye on new members in an attempt to invite promising newbies to join their org. Occasionally there will also be staff run competitions or events where the organizations will compete against one another to win glory. How much you engage with your org is entirely up to you. Joining an org does not make you obligated to take part in anything extra. It's just a bit of fun, really.

||THE ORGANIZATIONS||
There are three forum organizations members can choose from.
They are Pieuvre Armement, Praying Mantis, and Raven Sword.

One day, if the forum grows big enough, members may be able to create their own organizations.

||HOW TO JOIN||
There are no entry requirements to join an organization, simply decide which you like best and join.
To do this go to User CP>Miscellaneous>Group Membership>And then select "Join Group" on the org you wish to join.
Once you have put in your request to join it will be approved by an admin once they see it. If it's taking a while and you think it's been missed, please PM an admin.

And that is the gist of organizations. Like this post to claim a small bonus for your organization's Power Rankings as a reward for taking the time to read this guide!]]>
