Well my favorite song currently by them is The Dark Sentencer, but I get on a repeat kick sometimes when I'm listening through older songs and things.

Gravity's Union is pretty up there for me, too.

I tried to search this up, because I didn't read that thread, but can't seem to find it.
I used the advanced search to pull up their name, and even though the system can autofill the search showing the name is still in the forum's database or memory or whatever (I don't know computers) searching it just gives an error.
Were they, like, erased? Or is this some other kind of error? Or could i have done goofed?

Either way, can you link the thread please?

But when you're browsing on "Hot", which is the default, out of the top 10 posts currently, 4 are fanarts, 2 have the fluff tag, 2 have the meme tag, one In Game Screenshot tag, and one Comedy tag.

So yes, a good bunch of posts on Hot end up being fanarts, and they wouldn't be there if they were getting downvoted. And maybe yes, people get sick of the umpteenth Miqo'te commission in a given week.

Edit : And even taking a look at the comments on these posts, they are overwhelmingly positive. I'm not seeing a single negative comment in there.

I am not going to continue having this discussion about whether something is or isn't flooding it we're getting into semantics you can do certain things to make it fit whatever view you want.
But when I go to the Subreddit and casually scroll and look through I don't feel like I am constantly seeing art, and I still question why people think it's such a big problem but then are totally fine with memes and shitposting.
You can dislike '' umpteenth Miqo'te commission in a given week. '' without downvoting or being an ass about it.
That is my point.
And I think a lot of people particularly with female characters have this really annoying '' I am not one of those '' mentality that they need to push in everyones face.
You can prefer something else or dislike something without shitting on the other thing.
I switched to Hyur not only because of the hair but because I wanted to be a bit different too, the difference is that I don't sit around shitting on people who play Viera, Au'Ra or Miqo'te and act like I am super unique and special and '' not like one of those ''.

And yeah if you go by what's '' hot '' it's probably going to be more positive it is a bit of a mix, it just depends on whether the haters see it or not.
If they see it too late I don't think they'll go in and risk getting downvoted to lose their precious karma, but if they get to set the narrative in the comments they'll do it.

Edit: Quite recently there was a big meme on the Subreddit about how Miqo'te players look the same, it was a joke.
But the comments are basically just people unironically shitting on Miqo'te players and other conventionally attractive characters and bragging about how much better they are because they play a Hyur or whatever and wear the artifact armor and not those '' icky '' armors.
You'll see it as soon as the narrative becomes established how people come out the woodworks.

Even with memes and jokes people manage to spin it a lot of the time.
Some people just need to learn that they're not the center of the universe and that they don't need to drag others down all the time to feel better about themselves.
It's the same with people calling others weebs and giving them shit for playing FFXIV or the same with WoW, just stop, relax and let people enjoy things in peace.

God I hope so. Maybe when the mods nuked the thread they went and nuked their account as well. Perhaps that is exactly what they did then and now. I'd look up their most recent account but quite frankly they aren't worth putting the effort into such a search.

Alright people what is your favorite song from Initial D and why is it No One Sleep In Tokyo?

Actually, it's Running in the 90's, and that's because it's an absolute joy to bust out on the piano <3
Though, maybe if I had sheet music for No One Sleep in Tokyo I'd feel otherwise, that is a good song.

Nah fam, its Beat of the Rising Sun.

I'm just so happy right now! I finally got my first house, and nearly had a heart attack when it went through after nearly ten hours of spamming two buttons on my controller. I still can't believe that hell is over!
