Watch Saturday come and it’s just a new video of her reading fucking poetry.

we're days away, w semi-staff confirmation this is no time to b doubting ourselves, september 5TH 

Maybe.
Or maybe she's delayed the album because people said that TJF sounded like Cinnamon and she thinks Cinnamon is a bad song so logically she'd think TJF is a bad song.
And that's why the snippet was deleted and Ed said the album isn't finished.

WE GETTIN THE FIRST TASTE OF COCC IN 3 DAYS YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS LANA WORK THE HOUSE DOWN BOOTS WITH THE FUR MAWMA OKURRRRRRRRRRR *TONGUE POP* *DEATH DROP* *MANIFESTS*

I thought that was great, plus handled tastefully and hardly 'in-yer-face' about it. I also thought Lev was a terrific addition - I see people either 1) accusing ND of including a trans character as a political agenda or 2) taking offence that the story was written by a non-trans actor. For both points, it doesn't impact on the story at all, and Lev was also voiced and motion captured by a trans actor that approved the script, and it's not as though it wasn't written in careful consultation. And at the very least, it's a really important step forward in representation in what is usually a very cis/hetero dominated landscape, so even an incremental inclusion is going to help shift the norm of the usual boring binary expectation (same applies to a muscular, strong woman like Abby). 

I have no idea if this thread has already been made or not (I searched and couldn’t find anything) but I was wondering if any gamers out there have played/enjoyed The Last of Us and the newly released Part II? It is honestly one of my all time favorite games and I spent a full 15 hours in a row pulling an all nighter to finish the 2nd game and I absolutely LOVE the way the story ended up going... there’s lots of controversy surrounding this 2nd title but honestly (aside from the creators having to “crunch” cause that’s fucked up in any game company) all the B.S. people give this game is so uncalled for. (I mean look at the difference between user/critic scored on MC) 

Habibi is beautifully produced and I'm extremely excited for the visuals. However, I feel like it's a stronger album-song than single.

Listening to album singles now and my god the instrumental to Joanna is absolutely STUNNING. 
 
Lamp Lady still sounds cool as heck. Darkest Hour too.
 
ok I’m pretty stoked to hear the whole thing now. 

Was literally just about to bump this thread... In a Dream is amazing oh wow.... STUD's production.... could cry just thinking about you this is eons better than (most of) bloom 

Even though it's delusional, I'm still going to hold onto hope that the album is coming early Sept, because that sounds more fun than being sad about a delay. Then, when it doesn't come, at least I was aware of the delusional so hopefully I won't be too disappointed. 

UGH I didn't know if a thread like this existed previously but I'm so glad you made it because...I love this series a lot. 
 
Like SO much. I remember renting it from Redbox the day it came out because I didn't have the money to afford it at the time as I was a teenager lmao. This game has really shaped me as a person to this day (as cliche or weird as fuck it is to say), and it helped...fill a void I had in my chest. I saw and see myself in Ellie and to see someone come into themselves due to their surroundings was really beautiful. And her relationship with Joel really made me long to have that father figure I so dearly missed, but in a way, turning on the game and playing it really made me feel like I had one. Also, having a lesbian as the main character is so fucking great. I love that we're finally getting the visibility and representation that we fucking deserve 
 
I love post-apocalyptic media but everything about the game itself is so beautiful. The scenery, the characters, the storyline - it's amazing. Definitely glad that I've played it and invested so much time and energy into this series because FUCK, man. 
 
I haven't finished Part 2 (mostly because it takes me months to finish games like these ujdjskjs the anxiety of making decisions and not wasting my resources...it's ridiculous) but I know the entire storyline. I definitely understand some of the criticisms of the game, but I don't think all of them are valid. I'm excited to stop being a little pussy bitch and finish the game lmao even though I know I have more crying over fictional characters ahead of me <3

FANTASTIC taste.
 
The Last of Us Part 2 is probably the greatest narrative game I've ever played. From Seattle Day 3 onwards, the relentless emotional scenes packed one after the other meant I had to take a few breaks. I was clawing at my face during the cut scenes. 
 
I wrote this in the general video games thread but I only played Part One last month, and I thought it was great but not really exceptional (not the game's fault - I think it's a product of it's time and the whole 'loss via apocalypse' premise is pretty common now). But I was totally blown away by Part 2 and I liked it a lot more. The narrative is absolutely stunning, the character writing is amazing and I can't believe how they literally get you to empathise with both leads. I literally recoiled in horror when it looked like 
 
 
It's scary and sad how much it feels like it could be real. The cruel relentlessness and emptiness that comes with seeking revenge, but maybe even scarier is how selfish human nature is. It made me feel really uneasy with we saw how factions rose up, only to cannibalise each other - I'd like to think humans aren't so selfish but considering this pandemic with basic things like panic buying/hoarding alone, it's pretty scary and grim to predict what might happen in the future . . .
 

 
The hate it gets yeah, just fragile masculinity shining through as normal - and people bitching that they couldn't play as Joel. It was so necessary to not play as him because if it wasn't there the game would be essentially the same as the first time, and the mirrored quest for revenge wouldn't work at all. It's also a fuckin' ballsy move and is amazing how blinded you are trying to get to that end goal. 
 
I still think about the ending and the game weeks after I finished it. I want everyone to experience the story.

Not people trying to roast rorman... believe it or not but put some respect on the lanaboards name of people who share what they're given instead of assuming the worst. Clowns. 

#LeaveRormanAlone
 

jk it's not that serious tho 

I’m so sad I haven’t seen her do this live yet. I was praying for it during this summers festival set. 

it's been months now and party 4 u still the superior song, the power this song holds is out of this world, just brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopper, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to refferace or not refferace, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it

A COCC destroyer.

So it's been four weeks since folklore was released and I can totally say that this is my favourite Taylor Swift album. I hope she keeps exploring this genre and sounds over her next two eras. I'm asking for too much dddd.

was able to to pick up the VERY last signed folklore copy today from Lunchbox Records in Charlotte, NC... anyone else able to snatch one? It’s INSANE how high they’re being priced and going for on eBay listings, I love this album too much to want to sell it tho :/ 

yeah she has an album due in 2 weeks...of course fans are gonna ask
