So an odd thing happened 3/26 -3/27/20 around midnight. No I did not turn into a she-wolf even though the moon was visible last night! And no I didn’t go to hunt as the bloodrage was feeding in my undead veins. This has nothing to do regarding me.
Bob Dylan dropped a unreleased SEVENTEEN minute song on you tube!!! Yes the Poet Laureate Bob Dylan. The 78 year old Bob who musiuc is cross generational! 17 minutes is even long for a Dylan song. Few get that far. Desolation Row gets close (11:22 as a studio release) and Lily, Rosemary and The Jack of Hearts at 8:53 seems longer. This song is TWICE that length.
Then, uncharacteristically, (is anything characteristic about BOB???) he makes the first comment in the comment section and talks of it. When I saw it at close 1 AM there were 255 replies TO HIM. Now there are more including mine.
It’s not a happy song as they are few and far between with Bob. This is more of a dirge; a lament, a Rick Nelson “Garden Party” remembrance of many things past. Which is to say that if you know popular culture and popular music from the 1950’s -1990’s you will remember what he is speaking of. If you only lived through some of those times you may be confused. The inferences will be lost on you.
But that is Bob Dylan. Cryptic, intelligent, loose with words and always a mystery.
This was so odd.
And unexpected. (as if…)
And it was also the perfect end to my night! (seeing as how I had no lesbian woman laying beside me)Enjoy–remember.
Hello Boys and girls. This is yer old pal Stinky Whistle teeth. This is a song about a whale.
NOOOOOO!! It a song about being happy! It’s the Happy Happy Joy Joy song!
Er…No it’s not but now that I have that visual in your head let”s move on.
It is a music post and it’s time we revisited this. Before I had asked “what were you top 5 OST’s” and FUSE went nuts with @matastig trying to list EVERY FF game as One! That was not the point. @drifter80 stop laughing you did the same with Dragon Warrior!
So now you get 20..And to some that will be easy. Others take a few days to be sure your reply is correct because we can’t change it once you post it.
I’ll post ten on mine now and the other ten in a day or two. Notice I said OST and not popular music selections. Fallout 3 and 4 have a very good OST and neither festure any radio songs –or any songs with words -in them. Those are two different soundtracks.
If pop music is is part of the OST as in Persona and TWEWY then that is fine.
Yes Lemmings..Who could forget the fun and innovative music that kept us hooked to the game. That was 27 years ago!!! I would turn it on and let the Main Theme play over and over.. Not to mention stages far easier than where I wanted to be just to hear the music.
Many say the SNES has the best music and i agree.
Ok. My first 10. Just to get you motivated. See you in a few when I shall complete this. (thinks to self: FF Mystic Quest had some great music to it….hmmm)
Half-Life: Alyx is coming out this month and to celebrate they spoiled us with some gameplay teasers that give us an idea of what the game will show us. These, although short, suggest a lot of changes that we’d never really think of such as wearing a helmet to avoid getting snagged by a Barnacle.
Some are kind of strange since the hacking footage still seems off yet interesting. We’ll see when the game releases. We are able to do more complex puzzles like reaching through a window to get something or open a door.
Combat seems exciting, yet engaging. The game will utilize lots of cover as well as not being afraid to jump you. It seems like you’d have to act like a CSGO player and listen carefully for rushing enemies, which I really like personally.
@brendonc88 This is another thing I was excited for this year, but I guess that didn’t count because it’s not a game, it’s an update overhaul.
Anyways, we’re getting new maps added to Co-op as well as new troops to play as in OG trilogy as well as being able to play in the OG Era a lot more. One of these new reinforcements is an Ewok. Yes, those cute, cuddly little things people cheer to when they see their deaths are now in the game and you can kill them yourself this time. You don’t want those stupid stormtroopers taking all of the fun of an Ewok Massacre.
Most of us were that one hardcore fan that liked our games too much and we took things to an extreme sometimes. I did, and it’s dumb and I’m glad I’m no longer like that. With that said, I want to know what feature or thing in a game made you dislike it outright. It might’ve been a fun game, but that one thing made you want to chuck the disc it came in out the window. For me was the fact that no one said “The Nine” in Skyrim, since each character in that game said “The Eight” which annoyed the shit out of me. As an Oblivion nerd, I wanted that back and went for the Stormcloaks. I didn’t like the Stormcloaks, but anything to bring back Talos to the circle of gods. It even made me swear that Oblivion was a better game all because of that little thing that wasn’t said in the game.
Now I have mixed opinions with both games and think less of them for obvious reasons. So, yeah! What little feature/thing in a game made you react like that?
We live in a world where body language tells us everything, even a deeper meaning to what is said. Someone can tell you that you have a nice dress, but the way they inflect it with their hands and face can show that they hate it or are jealous. It’s something that everyone can see and interpret in any way possible. It’s something that mind has become accustomed to that it’s natural to judge what people may or may not be feeling. Movies and any other medium has captured this kind of natural body language to convey details that would otherwise cannot be told to you. It enhances a moment, if a group of people were speaking to each other without a single movement or hint of emotion besides through voice, it’d be weird and off-putting. It’s something that the brain can see and can’t ignore. It doesn’t seem human, or alive. It messes with the brain. Now, what would that have to do with horror?
Four weeks into the new year already! Just think of that ladies and gentleman. Maybe it’s just my advanced age but time sure can fly! Amazing. V-Day is not far away! This girl is ordering herself a bouquet of a dozen pink rises as one is EVER going to buy her flowers and why should I go without something I like??
The Production of “The Vagina Monologues” that I’m cast in is Feb 20th and 21st and tickets are available ONLY online. @start3rpack I look forward to seeing you there. This is only 4 hours away from Bethesda Game Studios so it gives you a reason to come.
So–on to tonight’s show. I got an email and Jan9th from @drifter80 at my super secret alzy11a address at Yahoo. Yes it sounds like a bot address but that is the point. He says (and I paraphrase)
Watch Hugo Martin talk about the designs of the new and old demons of Doom Eternal, their origins and new gameplay designs around them. Newer demons show some new possibilities to come of a fight as well as demands that are now needed to be met through the fight.
Baldur’s Gate devs announced that something will be shown on February 27th. From what we see, it might be a progress report of some sort as well as plans on what it will be played on. We don’t entirely know much, but we will when February rolls around.
New additional content has been revealed as the sword is now shown front in center. More areas and levels we haven’t seen entirely. New voices that suggest more about the story of the game as well as the Doomslayer’s origins. Some enemy variants that I’ve never seen before like an Armored Mancubus. We can’t forget about the Knights pointing swords at Doomguy! Or the Marauder actually speaking! The hype for this game is real!
I was never an actor–or actress which is more correct. Not in HS, College or in local theatre. Not that I did not like it it was never me. I was content to buy a ticket for a play and watch.
Tow week ago I was asked to audition ;read, for a part in the play ‘The Vagina Monologues” . This was via email so I sat in my lonely house and chuckled. But i say I woudl do this and I was excited about the audition , which was last Thursday (Jan 2md)
I had 5 pages to read with close 7 minutes prep time for this. So yes, I was unprepared. I read for the sponsor of the play and the director–i had great applause. I felt good about this part BUT auditions were not over.
On Sunday i was asked to join rallyhood which is a bit like Go to meeting but better. Invite only group to only those that read for parts. I did. I also knew casting would be posted today . Imagine that-me-a vagina warrior!
Well, stop the imagining as this girl has the part!!!! OMG! Are you serious????? Ye I have played on stage for audiences but never acted a role on stage. Get OUT OF HERE!!!
In conservative Somerset and Cambria county there is me. a translesbian, talking intimately about her Vagina on stage in a very powerful piece. At times violent, at times confusing, at times hopeful but always truthful!
Since i have founded and started my LGBTQ support group the visibility of that community has spread and this is but a great example of that!
Do you all remember on the old Fuse how Syler would go on and on and on and on about the Witcher 3. I got so sick of that iIsaid I NEVER play it–or buy it. The first were not that excellent.
I didn’t know who Triss was and I did not care. if I want to see tits i can take off my top, unhinge my bra and look. really? Takes more than breasts to impress me. Then someone @gamefreak215jd, @rheinmetall1— someone said “you’d like Skyrim–this is like it-maybe better”. Nope! Syler had turned me against it!
The Witcher 3 came out in 2015. May 19th TBE!
This past Sunday–the last Sunday in December had the MOST consecutive users of that game than iot EVER HAD! That according to the publisher! Damn! Witcher 3 WAS the hot title for Christmas! In 2019!
The way that boy went on and on about that game you KNOW he is still playing it And I got it for Christmas- did not ask for it—from my son who thought I should have it. So now I do.
And Syler and I made history-or were part of it. I’m sure he was looking for scantily clad women-I was just playing the game for the first tome-angry that my witcher COULD NOT BE FEMALE!
Welcome to 2020. No jokes please I’ve already heard enough lame jokes about “seeing this year very well” to last me for next year. I want to feel positive about this decade as it has some intense competition. The 1920’s-100 years ago-were one of the best decades of last century. The decades of flappers and zoot suits, The follies and the Gershwin Brothers. It was the age of the romanticist- of Gatsby and Fitzgerald-when “Rockafellers walked with stick and umbrellas in their midst” Puttin on the Ritz! It was the decade Filmmaking left PA and went to Hollywood and the Golden age of cinema was upon all. Hemingway was not a traitor to the US yet!
So 2020 has a steep hill to climb to reach the plateau that 1920 did.
To me this decade was one of my worst.
–never have I shed as many tears as I have this decade
-never have I smiled-or laughed as little
-never was I betrayed before by a heartless excuse of a person
-never have I been so unemployed and so discriminated against in the workforce. Both in ageism and in gender identity issues.
-never have I fought the gender and sex battles as I did this year.
-never have I felt so unloved as I have this past decade. I now feel as if I AM unlovable. And so be it.
-I never thought intimacy, the thing that kept me whole, alive; vital would escape me and never in the manner it did.
Much more could be said but it would be for naught! The world is a mess.
Palestine is on edge and warring factions in that area are on the move.
Fires ravage Australia while rampant shootings occur in the US, 18 hours away. Lawless lawmakers refuse to do anything.
The UK has become center for Homophobia and Transphobia.
Refugees are being detained at the US border and a heartless and spineless leader encourages it.
And Bill Wyman STILL has not rejoined The Rolling Stones! Punk!
So now that I’ve outlined the negatives what are the positives of the last decade for me?
Not that anyone cares -or is even reading this but I Found myself in this decade.
My ex left me in 2012 and that gave me the opportunity to be as I wished . And I knew I could be a better women than she ever was. That was proved right in 2014. They are dead to me. They do not exist but I do and I know I can effect the lives of others.
I started my LGBTQ+ support group which had 10 attending last meeting! No one would have done this if not for me.
I found the “me” I had long lost. The soul, once squashed returned and my love for music and writing returned. The”me” I was–the “me” I liked before had comer home.
I met some great people over the last decade. I met some I’ve been trying to forget. The good ones outweigh Ryan–Oops–I mean bad ones. One effected me so deeply, touched me on so deep a level, the essence of me so to speak that she picked up the broken and shattered pieces of me and put them together. BUT–not as they were. She made me much better. And while the story has an unhappy ending I am forever grateful to her for that. My svengali!
While I have the lifelong mental affliction it was under control very well this past decade. Health is a great thing to be a positive. I would say I m wealthy but not as you may see it. I’ll explain
Consider asking for wealth and expecting money.. That Is the sign of a novice and one whose line of thinking needs adjusted. Green is the color of money and to ask for money is to ask for PROSPERITY–NOT WEALTH! It’s the mistake many make. Wealth can be great health. Good friends, completing a long time collection, etc. We can be wealthy MANY WAYS. But only prosperous in the ways of money.
Rememebr that Green is Prosperity-or white as white emcompases ALL colors–is monetary gain.
If you have to ask what the other colors are for your not ready for these!!!
So wealth I had but not prosperity.
So what do want from the next decade besides Bill to rejoin The Stones?
I want intimacy. Not sex. Nowhere close the same. I want intimacy and the love and adoration of another woman that I have similar feelings for. I want to feel complete not less than a whole. I want a purpose to my life. And I want one to share it with me.
I want equity, equality and acceptance for both sexes and all genders. I want no one left behind but rather I want al at the table of life. Trans, Bi, Herero, Pan, Gay makes no difference. To assume that any are “a mistake” is too assume that whomever you see as your creator makes mistakes. Not a judgement I’d make.
I want more happiness in this world. I want the gaiety of the 1920’s that I spoke of to be in this 20’s!
I want this orange embarrassment of a an opuranguant that we have in office in the US OUT OF OFFICE–THIS YEAR! THAT PRICK HAS GOT TO GO. MISOGYNIST. HATER. BIGOT. LAW BREAKER. TRANSPHOBE. HOMOPHOBE.HEARTLESS CUNT! Need I say more?
I saw Staceyann Chin her at the Ohio Lesbian Festival and she was awesome-and she did this! This is NOT from there.
She does not mix words-You’ve been warned.
I want peace in some areas of the world where none exists.
I want to feel, when I am 72, to feel as I feel now at 62.
–Like I was 22. With the looks of a 40 something women. And the ability to dress as a woman of 28-35 BECAUSE I CAN PULL THAT LOOK OFF!!!!
And I want the best for everyone who has made it this far into this highly personal post. I thank those that did listen to Staceyann and read my terse ramblings. I wish for you get what you wish for. Be it personal or to rid that same baboon I was speaking of.
Happy New Year.
Unless you are Chinese that go cook some rice and mic with curry and come back later.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’
“The Time They Are a-Changing.” Words and Music by Bob Dylan. Reprinted from Bobdylan.com
I had said in part 1 that I was doing these shows alone as I always have. Kimberly , our assistant helps and it’s a special time for the both of us. It’s easy to see Christmas is her fave season. However this year, at the end of the second show I had sent a email to Bob and asked what his faves were.
‘Why” he asked “Someone want to know?” I had to laugh as I find that playing Borderlands 3 has made him more aggressive than before. “No” I said. “I may use a few in a show later on”‘.
So I have a 10 song show tonight with faves of his, Kimberly’s and mine.
I wanted this to be a fun post. I wanted to convey as sense of celebration and of dignity and reflection. Of solemn grace; not just for Christmas but for other celebrations taking place now. And when I think of fun–and Christmas- I always think of this first.
Nothing else comes close. I really want to BE HER in this because in 62 years I’ve never had a Christmas that was as much fun as she is having in this. Enjoy.
Nothing really changed compared to the previous remake. A lot of recycled assets are expected as shown in some instances, which to many may seem like a lazy move, but seeing when they’re releasing it and the engine is the same as RE2, so it’s resourceful to reuse assets.
Anyways, gameplay sounds very fun and the representation looks satisfying. I’m still on the fence about Resistance, but I could be wrong about it. The Nemesis is said to have newer ways to find you throughout the game and pose more of the threat in the OG game. Which if you already played or seen RE3, that’s a lot to say since he was already extremely aggressive to begin with. It does show why they gave him a nose though.
The game is also already up for pre-order on all platforms starting at the normal $60 price tag. So, if you are as excited as any other fan of the series, you are able to show your support and passion right now!
