I knew from the second I finished listening when it came out that it'd be my AOTY, and so far it's easily my AOTD

Mother 3

The Owl House (Found family/adventure in a dark fantasy world - on D+, currently airing its 2nd season)
Infinity Train (Heavily character driven sci-fi/mystery/drama anthology series - on HBO max)
Kipo & the age of the Wonderbeasts (Post apocalypse action/adventure, very ATLA feeling - on Netflix)

Of the ones already mentioned: Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and of course the obligatory Avatar the Last Airbender

when I was in the 5th grade I thought Ed's love for buttered toast in Ed Edd n' Eddy was the funniest thing so I fiddled around with 'toast' as a username and ended up with an 'rz' at the end

Brock's got the right idea

Hollow Knight is the best 2D metroid-vania ever made, and the combat & movement is ludicrously crispy. It tells a cool story but is pretty cryptic, though the atmosphere the lore and dialogue gives is impeccable. For the 25+ hours of content $15 is a fucking steal!!

Obama ran on a massively left platform at the time in 2008 and then proceeded to do essentially none of the things he promised even though the dems had a supermajority in the house and senate. Give that Biden was his running mate and they're both bred from the same power-entrenched ilk there is no reason to believe anything on Biden's platform will be fought for in any capacity

This argument might make sense if you were talking to someone who wasn't voting, or was voting 3rd party in a swing state, but even then, the whole "people who complain about how shitty American politics are are upper middle class white people who don't understand anything" is not true at all. The 100 million people who don't vote in this country aren't a majority privileged class, they're poor, young, disenfranchised, and largely POC.

And this sentiment that "any progress is good don't complain :)" is consistently used to co-opt actual meaningful change, and used to justify shittier policies that are strictly worse than what was promised (see ACA). Also, this sentiment doesn't apply when we're facing down literal climate doom and its either you go all in, or we all die. Neither candidate is going all in.

I'm voting for Biden because Trump blows and lifting up orgs and people that will criticize him and his fellow milquetoast liberals nonstop sounds a lot more fun that worrying about my LGBT+ and immigrant friends for another 4 years (but Biden won't really do anything to fix their situation all things considered). But as mustardoverlord pointed out, I don't think slapping some rando on the wrist for saying "hey this blows" is very productive

are fourth generation Croatian immigrants allowed in this thread?

(I don't know any Croatian, forgive me)

Modern prog rock (Dear Hunter, Coheed, Bent Knee, Mars Volta, etc). Not really into the over the top "we're so progressive" bands like Dream Theater, but I like them from time to time.

Various jazz artists like Kamasi Washington, George Russel, Miles Davis, Steely Dan/Donald Fagen. I'm not really sure if I could put them all into a single genre so I guess the massive umbrella "jazz" works.

Lately I've been getting more and more into post-hardcore stuff like The Receiving End of Sirens, Fall of Troy, Dance Gavin Dance, etc.

12tone made a video a while back talking about if a song can be objectively bad or not. Kind of related to this topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dfi0cRcpb4

Mother 3 is by far the best Mother game and it's not even close.

My favorite Pokemon game is Black/White 2.

I enjoy Twilight Princess far more than Ocarina of Time.

You know what’s up.

Also OP, what kind of music do you already like to listen to?

The Dear Hunter - Act 5: Hymns With the Devil in Confessional
Bent Knee - Shiny Eyed Babies
Gavin Castleton - Home

BoJack Horseman
