[Amperzand]

Amperzand, I avoided drugs for that reason, but music? Music was pretty impossible to avoid anyways and some of it is good for concentration, or other things.

Could you listen to a song For Science and report back on your experience, feelings-wise?
The song is The Highwayman by Loreena Mckennitt. You should be able to find it on YouTube. (If you tell it HD only, you'll probably get a higher quality recording)

I'm not going to tell you what my reaction usually is because I don't want to bias the result. 

Indeed. I do enjoy music, but that which I most enjoy also usually affects me most. It's not really a major concern, though. BRB sciencing.


Also, for WTF-worthy things, examine this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc7Sr0wfmZA

Probably belongs in the Terrified thread, but whatever.

[Teneb]

Fuuuuuck. So much stress right now that I feel like putting a hole in my head to let off pressure. Not in the suicide sense, either, we trepanning now.

I know this guy... I can get you a nice price with him. Just as long as, you know, you ain't afraid of tetanus.

[Amperzand]

Highwayman is gud muzic. I approve. Not terribly emotional, either.

It's kind of a weird thing. Some things affect me very strongly and obviously, but the stuff I actually mind are things that don't do so obviously, kind of affect the way I think until my mood changes before I even recognize it's the song. Like movie soundtracks and the like, not really intended to be noticed, but there for the express purpose of messing with your head.

Edit: Regardless, I enjoyed these two:

The Highwayman makes me tear up at least, but it's the singing and words that do it, not the music.

Ah, yeah, soundtrack are usually designed to invokes feelings, to enhance the experience.

[Amperzand]

Yep. I have no objection to evocative wordsmithing, but messing with my emotions when I can't notice is no bueno. My feelings on this matter are not terribly strong, honestly.

[Shadowlord]

It's a key component of Japanese visual novels, though.

[Amperzand]

A form of entertainment I have never partaken of. :V

[Rolan7]

Someone in my DND group (I'm lurking and chatting) keeps spamming this at half speed, the reverb is beautiful.

That video... I finally figured out who Trump reminds me of!

[Tawa]

What did Toady just change in the moderation log? It says "new" but I don't see anything different from last time.

[Yoink]

Shhh

There's no point in being afraid. There is nothing we can do now.
Make thy peace with the Amphibious One.

[BlackFlyme]

Someone was muted or suspended. Now they aren't, so the name was removed.

[Yoink]

I didn't notice anyone muted, though, and I usually keep tabs on the log quite closely.

I didn't notice anyone muted, though, and I usually keep tabs on the log quite closely.

There was a mute at the bottom which is gone now. It was noted upon in either this or the happy thread soon after it happened.

[penguinofhonor]

You might not have noticed the mute because it happened the same time as a ban. I remember it but I don't remember who, I think it was some forum games drama.
