Bad Taste
I was looking at a list of the worst Doors songs ranked, and you'd never believe what I saw!
My two favorite songs ranked in the top 5!
My favorite song being placed at no. 5 (interestingly lower than the arguably much better no.3. Then again this was only one person's ranking- clearly lacking in taste)
See how even the description doesn't make it sound bad! Dreamy! Creakiest and crooniness! How is that an insult?!
But even worse is this gorgeous track. What'd you do to be placed at 3rd worst?? Methinks this author simply despises all things heartfelt and romantic.
It is true that I like their outlier songs more than their general sound, but I don't see why this should mean that true fans only enjoy their typical tunes! Who are they to hate on a perfectly lovely wistful summer serenade? Who are they to resent a band's attempts to branch out? They're not even bad!
But again, this is but one person's take. I feel it may be wise not to go looking for other people's rankings in case this is the norm and not the outlier...

stonathan - ten (give or take) years of purposefully forgetting the importance of saving phone numbers
stonathan sunday prompt by @stonathanweek | prompt: "what aren't you telling me?" | they're broken up, and it's been a while
"what aren't you telling me?"
jonathan is unamused by the way steve's smile drops from his face.
steve is quiet, arms crossed over the railing in front of jonathan's porch. it's strange, watching him close up after… everything. it's almost like watching a balloon pop; the rapid switch from full to empty, the sighing slump of his shoulders, and to jonathan, it's out of character for him.
"you come here, and you refuse to let me close the door in your face." still, jonathan insists on being told the truth. they're older now, they shouldn't be hiding hints and clues in each other's actions anymore. "you say things are 'messed up back home', whatever that means, and you-"
and still, after all these years, jonathan can't ever find it in himself to stay mad at steve, no matter the reason.
"i want to know what's up with you." jonathan's hands, which were raised and moving through each word as he talked, came back down. he crosses his arms too, eyes fixated on his porch light shining on a few strands of gray combed behind steve's ear. it hasn't been that long... has it? "can we just- talk about it?"
there was a point in time where steve was the one begging jonathan to be open, honest, vulnerable, even. as if the two of them thought of it at the same time, they both laugh shortly through their noses. jonathan runs a hand over his hair at how ridiculous this all is. the visit, the cold stare, the passive aggressiveness, the genuine joy he felt seeing steve harrington of all people at his door again. of all the things he missed about hawkins, one of them may or may not be the way steve would show up at his house whenever he wanted, unannounced, as if they had all the time in the world to be together. if they were still together, jonathan would find it romantic or spontaneous, but now he's just concerned.
steve looks back at him through a glance out of the side of his eye, and jonathan almost misses it because of his glasses. steve actually wears his glasses now, what the fuck, how long has it been. then he's shaking his head, as if he can't believe what he's about to say, as if jonathan has any grounds to judge him on.
"it's- i'm just gonna spit it out- it's the upside down again." steve is running a hand over his face, pushing his glasses out of the way, and jonathan's heart drops to the soles of his shoes. "dustin got me hooked on it, honestly, and now it's like- it's getting harder to, y'know, figure all this shit out by myself. kinda by myself, but you know what i meant."
"hooked on… what?" jonathan's eyebrows are drawn into a scowl.
"research, mostly." steve says it like it's nothing, like the very mention of that place doesn't make jonathan want to call nancy immediately. "hands-on research."

Happy Screenshot Sunday! This time, let's look at Graham's Harmonic Howl move!
Hello, thanks for your patience! Happy Screenshot Sunday! This time around, let's take a closer look into one of the bread and butter moves for Graham's moveset: Harmonic Howl!
Graham with his grooves is normally only able to buff himself... This can turn him into quite the speedster, tank, full-force attacker... Whatever you need him to be! However, about about spreading that love a little bit more? Well, that's what Harmonic Howl is for!
When shifted to the Moon sign, Graham's able to utilize Harmonic Howl, a move that specializes in copying over whatever buffs Graham currently has to any party member! It's an EXACT copy, so both the specific kinds of buffs AND duration on them carry over... But with the right timing, you'll be able to make sure everyone on your team's fully loaded with stat boosts!
This move's gone through a lot of reworks over time, but I think I'm finally happy with how it turned out! I hope it's as fun to use in battle as it was to think up!
Of course, even if Graham's not available in the demo to play as, you certainly have a plethora of other characters and moves to play around with in the demo! Check it out TODAY for FREE at:

Thanks for reading! As always... stay safe, have fun, and take care!

Oh yeah also to be exact for stream purposes, average playtime from all 60 reviews is 10-12 hours, but total range is 8-15, double for a 100% playthrough. You do have to progress in the side content to progress in the main story (complete x missions/get x points/get to x rank type of deal), and you'll probably want to progress in the side content to level up since it's money-based and that's the fastest way to make money. I'm pretty sure the variance comes from getting sucked into the side content (probably not likely for your playstyle) or having trouble with the bosses at a lower level (they're apparently pretty hard this time).
It also looks like the Infinite Wealth demo is split into two (an adventure mode with the extra cutscenes and another one that's basically the demo we've seen around). Adventure mode Allegedly doesn't have proper saves at the time of writing (this was an annoyance for one reviewer so I assume it's long enough to warrant that), so it's worth taking that into account too. Anyway that's about it lol don't quote me on any of this because my brain just shut off after a certain point <3
OK BET TYSM CHAMP YOURE A LIFESAVER soooooo doing Quick Maths in my brain i might divide the stream up in two if i start playing at 4:30PM and i plan to marathon it.
ill take a break 3:45 - 5:45 saturday morning since that's a part of my regular routine and ill feel weird if i dip on it. I Dont Need Sleep but god forbid i skip out on all That apparently. plus it's a good break period to get exercise in and move around LMAO
going from 4:30PM -> 3:45AM's like.....10~11 hours... so that's about halfway through the game if i get entranced by side content... if we do somehow finish it all in one shot then we can just do the IW stuff after my routine.. epic.. it prob wont be any longer than an hour if that so stream- AUSPICIOUSLY THINKING- should wrap up around 7~9AM saturday.
