there's this song called Present from some loli hentai/ecchi i saw over a decade ago and i've never been able to find it. back then i found it on beemp3, but since that site is long gone i can't find it again. it was a pretty catchy song and it'll still get stuck in my head to this day, despite not hearing it in YEARS.

if anyone has any ideas on where to search for it that i maybe haven't checked, lemme know.

@ApocalyptoLatte1488 every co-host tim pool has on his show will eventually become more and more redpilled until we finally have a new hitler

i've got a knot in my back somewhere so bad that i'm screaming man holy shit i've never had anything this bad

This sounds a little ridiculous, but I might just keep my Deezer sub going so I can continue to download Hi-Fi music from it as well as getting notifications for bands putting out new music, and using their discovery feed. I just won't listen to the music through the app anymore because it is kinda crap and there are all these issues with licensing and favorites. that won't matter if it's all local though and i'm cool continuing to pay if it means i still have some of the actually nice features.

for anyone curious, here's the app i'm using to download my entire deezer library. it has a lot of other really cool functions too, wish i would have found it sooner.

@Mr_NutterButter i think most people do this. even if they don't realize they are doing it. they'll buy merch, they'll tell their friends about it who will then maybe buy the albums or more merch, and then they'll go to their shows. for the most part, it's not the musicians that care about the piracy, it's the labels, because they stand to lose the most.

@Mr_NutterButter @Forestofenchantment i remember, i went to a concert in 2013 that was Of Mice and Men and A Day To Remember. I had never heard of the former, was just going for the latter. However, they fucking blew me away and were much better than ADTR which i went to see. the lead vocalist at the time, austin carlile, said they had just released a new album and that he didn't care how people listened to it. he literally said "go and pirate that shit!!"

so, i did. and holy fuck it was amazing. went to the store and bought it as soon as i could and i ended up seeing them again later at warped tour and buying another album there. i tried to go see them again but it was right when austin's voice was getting really fucked up and they had to cancel the show. but yeah, now they're one of my favorite bands of all time. so that moment really spoke to me.

@Mr_NutterButter i do have a decent amount of physical albums and downloaded tracks, but yeah i'm unfortunately gonna have to go back to piracy. though, i'm not too worried about that from an ethical standpoint because instead of giving artists .0001 cents and the rest of it to the shitty labels and software, i'm giving nothing to anyone lmao.

even as a musician myself, it's way more important to me that people enjoy the music than purchasing it. i kind of have taken this same philosophy on game development as well. i want people to play my shit and listen to my shit, as many as possible, i don't really care how they decide to do that.

@Forestofenchantment all artists prefer people to buy their releases, but the fact of the matter is that i'm not made of money. i'll buy albums that i REALLY like, and that's about it. the way that most people have consumed music ever since the cassette tape (and maybe earlier?) has been piracy lol. or just listening to the radio and whatever comes on, comes on. great artists will recognize that and just want as many people to hear their music as possible, since the majority of their sales are from playing shows and merch (which does include physical music sales). the only way to get people to buy that stuff though is to make sure they hear the music in the first place, and in that regard, streaming services are extremely beneficial. they serve pretty much the same purpose that limewire did.

ahahaha, checking out their subreddit it looks like everyone else is having this issue too, lmao this is so fucking dumb
