My Classmates Spouting Shit About How Our Racist Ass Team Name Shouldn’t Be Changed And Then Turning

can i just like, notice that literally every single song the altogether (and even its individual members by which i mean bdg) has produced literally SLAPS?? like, they have no bad songs. what the crap.

like, yeah, you’ve got classics like clean slated state’s “do you need someone, do you need a new me?” but then also like

billy and anne, arguably one of my least favorite of their songs, still goes hard: “and i don’t care what you say/the world looks beautiful today”

this manhattan man has incredible lyrics: “what better place to make mistakes than an island already filled with heartbreaks?”

but then also, like, in older songs? like, ladybug? ladybug SLAPS. the rhythm! the groove! the beatboxing and the buildup! the line “everywhere i’m lookin i see polka dots!” a Bop!!

and then ofc you have bri’s other work, with things like the humble knight with beautiful imagery and a good story- “trapped in a hard shell of onyx and gold/with heart as light as a dove” and disclaimer, which literally sums up ever feeling i’ve ever felt about coming with a lot of baggage into a relationship: “‘cause i’ve never met a girl/that makes me feel i’m on a tilt a whirl/and i’ve never felt so pleasantly ill”

anyway what im saying is. i appreciate the hell out of the altogether for being incapable of producing bad music

THEY’RE BACK THE BOYS ARE BACK BAYBEE

the original cyberpunk ttrpg takes place in 2020

feel like pure shit just want to wake up tomorrow morning with eyelids of lead have someone pull up the blankets to cover my head and think i might be dreaming or i might be dead but my heaven is fl

Just so we’re clear

supporting Brian’s right to do whatever he wants in his career and understanding that he’s still going to continue making delightfully weird content

and

being sad that we’re not gonna get more of the specific weird content he produces on polygon and/or being unsettled by the change in general

aren’t contradictory, and

Polygon is a website with 5 other video producers who are still around doing their best to produce excellent content, and a lot of Brian’s content wouldn’t have been possible without them either

and

Polygon as a website has been severely under-utilising these other video producers and has been producing fewer and fewer of the kinds of video series the fanbase fell in love with, and have been leaning more heavily on Brian-led content, such that they’re going to have to make some significant changes if they’re going to maintain their popularity

aren’t mutually exclusive opinions either

Best quote from the new Cyberpunk Red episode:

Vang0: Okay okay, stop the van. Whenever Burger says a word like subpoena, I get worried

spotify wrapped is HERE! send me a number 1-100 and I’ll tell you the song it corresponds with on my top 100 playlist

i missed today’s 20020 and i gotta read it tommorrowwwwwww :(

Thanks, Karen.
