I also loved the Mad Max game that came out around the same time with a really similar gameplay feel

Most of them tbh. Two examples: Homefront: the Revolution (2016) and Maneater (2020)

They’re fine mostly. Music genres are so diluted nowadays that that person could be listening to Burzum, City Morgue, or Ghost. Three completely different types of people

Wish they were still sold in the US. I spent so much time trying to figure out how to import one from Mexico and get it on the road. Quite possibly the toughest consumer vehicle of all time

Got a few but winter time is my P2 Volvo XC90. Why? V8 go brrr

I have lots of nice jeans. I’m currently roating through some Onis Secret Denims and S.Da 45th anniversaries right now. Been into denim for a long time at this point. Even did the beach wash on my brand new APC PNSes in an /fa thread back in the day.

At one point in time, right when I was checking Rawrdenim multiple times per day every day, I never washed 'em but once every year max. Nowadays, I wash about once or twice per month because I don’t like high contrast fades and lifestyle changes (not a student anymore) make it so my jeans feel dirtier quicker. I just turn them inside out and wash separately with a half cap of Woolite Dark Defense and air dry.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Fr though, “magic” is such a broad term nowadays that it’s a hard question to answer. What kind of magic? I’m not super versed in fantasy but in Tolkein’s world industry would inevitably beat fantasy

I need to catch up on it! I’m like months behind at this point.

A lot of the old groups are still making content. Shoutouts to Bruce Greene and Lawrence (and KassemG) from Funhaus/Inside Gaming are doing a letsplay channel called BroughtYouThisThing, it’s probably the only reason I get on YouTube at all anymore.

Probably the Roosterteeth community. Their content pretty much defined almost a decade of my life but the community was composed of some of the most toxic people I’ve ever encountered online.

Also, it’s not a fandom but I used to browse an unhealthy amount of 4chan up to ~2017. Very strange crowd there

Germany, say 1910s-20s. Don’t worry guys, I got this… 🔫😎

Any link to your music? I love the E6 collective. Most people just know NMH but the whole lot of them were just amazing

I’d put money down to Kickstart a documentary series where we fly American Redditors (and Lemm users) to Europe to film their reaction when they see that, yes, they still need to pay for items with money (and perform labor to get the money! 😱😱)

That Purple Mountains is so good! I’d throw some Silver Jews in the mix for OP, too. Same singer as Purple Mountains

It’s an older chart but I have no reason not to think the trend it shows has reversed since 2012. Colleges pivoted really hard in the past 30 years to offering a lot more than just classes and a dorm to attract students. Non-teaching positions have more than doubled since than 70s to handle all the “bloat and bullshit” (one of my professor’s terms, a real old-school guy who hated modern academia) that that’s come along since.

Throw in the fact that federally secured loans means that almost any 18 year old can sign off on whatever the sticker price without much thought and you get those kinds of costs for some students

Agreed. The only two options right now are to either do away with federally secured loans (worse option) or nationalize all universities with efficiency overwatch programs in place (better), but what we have right now is the worst of both worlds w/r/t public-private higher education

Country Tropics by Old Saw for some real uneasy ambient Americana listening

The biggest issues I think comes from the facts that A) there are a handful of very predatory schools with huge inter/national outreach programmes and B) highschool students are pressured into choosing their college path before graduating HS, when they’re still a kid.

The kids don’t know how to actually evaluate their options and end up picking the big, expensive schools just off brand recognition alone. Lots of people fell for this trap and graduated with degrees that weren’t very competitive to state degrees and cost 2-10x more.

I think the next 10 years are going to see students’ debt at graduation decrease as community college enrollment keeps going up and the stigma of “community college” education, which was a big deterrant for a long time, goes away.

Sounds like you answered your own question there. Tuition for foreign students is expensive because the ones who come here almost always have family that can pay for it. Like I said above, no American is spending $70k per year for undergrad studies. The smart ones are going to community colleges, which are becoming free in some capacity across most states, building up a GPA, and then transferring to a University off scholarships.

I spent 7 years in school without paying anything for tuition, everything was covered by scholarships. I’ve known many people with the same experience

Then why didn’t you send your kid to school in your country? Americans do not pay $70k for undergrad tuition unless it’s a very expensive study.

(E: the OP corrected me below that theyre not from the Great North. Ill still leave this next part up to demonstrate that universities charge a lot more for international students than domestic but I acknowledge that I jumped the gun here)

The fact that you use the $ symbol, have socialized college tuition, and are not from the US makes me think you’re Canadian. I did the reverse of your situation and used this tuition fee lookup tool from UToronto to see what I would be paying for a year of medical school. Came out to a little under $46k/ for the 2025-26 school year.
