A New Threat

Season 4 Episode 1 Featured on: FIRST STRIKE ~ SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day Tournament Original Soundtrack VOL. 1

Ripped by Sarvéproductions

I think its really interesting to see how, despite being set up to be entirely derivative in nature, so many SiIva events end up spawning original characters in their own right. Wood man is the posterchild for this obviously, having changed so far from his source material as to become a fully unique character tied specifically to SiIvaGunner, but it happens even more than you'd think.

One of the most inspired examples of this is Ajit Pai, introduced as one of the first contestants for Season 3's King for a Day tournament. The real-life controversy regarding Ajit Pai overturning Net Neutrality in 2017 was still fresh in a lot of viewer's minds, as he'd effectively made himself public enemy number one to the internet. SiIva played into this by making Ajit Pai the "joke" fighter, with a pretty vague list of games to be ripped from of "games with bad internet" and "the harlem shake". He got matched against Thanos in the first round, and rather than being eliminated he got full-on snapped out of existence in the fallout of his loss. He was a funny meme with like, two tracks made for the tournament, and sort of faded from memory after a while. That was, at least, until the King for Another Day Tournament a year later.

Ajit Pai's in-canon "death" of being snapped into ashes was remembered, and used as a springboard to buff the character for his return. Every character from the last tournament was set to return in some way for the new one, and Ajit Pai was no exception - his new ashy state became part of his new form as a mecha, with an insane original design made just for this event. Metal Ajit Pai features all the stuff from his old sources with the huge addition of mech-franchises such as Gundam and Armored Core, giving his rips a surprisingly heavy sound overall. A New Threat debuted as Metal Ajit Pai's own personal theme - a fully original composition taking cues from the sounds of internet services like AOL as well as the sounds of various mecha anime and media. Despite not having much of a nostalgic or recognizable hook, it made such a striking impression back in the day - it truly sold home just how far Ajit Pai had come from being a joke contestant. Its a fantastic composition that's stuck with me since its release, as it feels almost like a time capsule for that specific kind of hype that was going around - hype for the strangely epic resurrection of an FCC chairman.

Thoughts on KFAD2 Round 1

Mariya Takeuchi vs Jack Bros

You guys really gotta do this to Mariya, huh? Just kill her right before the game starts, huh? Heck, I know she’s not gonna survive the loser’s bracket because she happens to be up against Off The Hook. I kinda feel sorry for her, especially considering I actually love City Pop and Future Funk.

Off The Hook vs Dedede

YOU REALLY GOTTA MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO OF MY FAVOURITE FRANCHISES HUH? In all seriousness I’m glad Dedede won because OTH made it so far in the last KFAD tournament that I’m not even mad.

And now, the most underwhelming part of the entire tournament

Metal Ajit Pai Vs Nico Nico

...Was this really a contest? I know Metal Ajit Pai got a buff in this tournament but his expanded list of music only appeals to a small section of the fanbase. Plus I gotta have me some teenage weeb nostalgia.

Adam Levine VS The Jazz Cats

Again, was this even a contest?  I love Maroon 5 but he’s definitely a weaker pick in this game. I consider him weaker than Pitbull and the Aliens. It doesn’t help that he’s clearly a Creator’s Favourite pick. Not only that but the Jazz Cats, while I don’t expect them to win this game, I consider them strong enough picks due to their sheer range in music to at least get to the quarterfinals.

Now we’re really getting to the hard choices, folks

Wario Partners, LLP vs Johnny Bravo

This was the hardest decision I had to make for the entire thing. Do I go for my favourite video game franchise of all time (WarioWare) or do I go for the TV network that made up a large portion of my childhood? Favourite game franchise or childhood nostalgia? I decided on Wario Partners, LLP and THANK GOD THEY WON. I did promise to vote for the loser in the loser’s bracket, so... yeah, sorry, Geno.

Geno vs “Weird Al” Yankovic

I actually voted for Geno, for the reason that I wanted to see more Paper Mario music (since this covers ALL Mario RPGs). I kinda regretted doing so when I realised that Weird Al and Michael Jackson have infinitely better music overall, so THANK GOD THEY WON. I would vote for Geno in the loser’s bracket but... see above.

Quote vs ZUN

I do like me some classic indie games but I’m sorry, ZUN was clearly the better choice. Touhou has fantastic music, there’s plenty of other bullet hell shooters with fantastic music, this has been the only easy choice in this section.

Papyrus vs Law and Disorder

Now THIS was a tough choice, but I went with Papyrus because I actually love puzzle game music and consider it underrated. But I’m not mad that he lost, considering Law and Disorder is great. I WILL however be voting for Paps in the loser’s bracket.

Moderately difficult choices but I would have been happy either way

Men in Black vs Daft Punk ft. Pharrell

Went with Daft Punk but I would have been happy with Men in Black. The use of anything aliens related could have meant we’d get some AHIT rips, since the main character of that game is an alien. But Daft Punk are one of my favourite artists of all time so that’s why I voted for them.

Mr. Krabs vs Dr. Robotnik

Now THIS was a toughie. You could either vote for Spongebob rips and possibly loadsamoney rips, or you could vote for old-school Sonic, Puyo Puyo and YouTube Poops. I decided to vote for Robotnik because I like old-school Sonic and YTP and Puyo Puyo has good music, but I’m also happy Mr. Krabs won.

WARNING: THIS NEXT MATCH MADE ME MAD

Jack & Elmo vs Rhythm Masters

0.1 percent. 0.1 PERCENT! WHY? For the record, Rhythm Masters is my #1 pick. It takes my priority over everything, because I fucking love rhythm games. So yeah, you can imagine I got a bit salty over a 0.1 percent loss against a contestant I didn’t even care that much about. I’m voting for Rhythm Masters all the way through the loser’s bracket and if you have good taste I encourage you to do the same.

Donkey Kong vs Eminem

Dude, it’s Donkey Kong, of course he was gonna win and I’m glad he did lol. No disrespect to Eminem fans of course.

Next up: the match of “meh”

Pitbull and the Aliens vs Solid Snake

Okay, no disrespect for either of them, I enjoy their themes and I enjoyed their rips, but... do we really need a whole takeover about any of them? I don’t think so. So in other words I didn’t really care.

Thanos vs Dr Piccolo

Piccolo too OP, pls nerf. In all seriousness, I am one of those people who did vote for him because of JoJo, though I am looking forward to other rips in his category. Shonen Jump and medical related rips have a lot of coverage. Though I would have been fine if Thanos did win because he’s got a lot of coverage too.

Next up: THANK YOU VOTERS

Missingno. Vs DJ Professor K

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES FROM LAST TOURNAMENT. DJ Professor K is easily my second choice for this tournament. And he already looks to have a much better chance this time around given that the voters actually took him seriously this time around. What could possibly stop him this ti-

HOBaRT vs Nintendo Power

...I knew Nintendo Power would win this but... it never occurred to me that it would result in essentially Nintendo VS SEGA for the next round, huh? Did I vote wrong here?

[somechubbynerd]

“Like, it’s not right to call the MUSIC in this one a ‘mashup’. But the themes are:

Johnny Bravo - Cartoon Network and related media sound sources

Metal Ajit Pai (what the hell) - Robot themed media

So the combination gets a cover of Chicks Dig Giant Robots.”

[thelowartgloominati-blog1]

Goodbye.

So it seems Tumblr has more then likely flagged me as one of those deviants who ruined a good advertising platform for Yahoo and Verizon’s shareholders with my posting of 1920′s pin up models, affinity for shiny shiny latex, and of course the forbidden “female presenting nipples,” among other such things that are now “too hot for Tumblr.” Some of the stranger things the algorithms have flagged on my blog were a photo set from a 1931 Mickey Mouse Cartoon, a GIF from a Queen music video, and some out-of-context Betty and Veronica panels.

And really, if I can’t have subtle lesbian innuendo in a 1960′s comic book, or Freddie Mercury in drag on my blog, then what is the damn point?

So I’ve made my decision. Tumblr and I have had an “on again, off again” relationship the last few years as is, this is actually blog number three for me, in total. My first one dates back to about 2011. I could handle some of the unsavory aspects of the community on here, they were never too bad. I was very skeptical about Yahoo (read: Verizon) buying up what was once a beacon for independent artists and unconventional voices, with the naked goal of “outreaching maximum engagement with millennial demographics.” That was when I left the first time (that and a falling out I had with some old acquaintances, it was time for me to disappear for a little while on the internet anyway...). I came back later,  about a year and a half later to be exact, to see how things had changed, and to give myself something to do whilst listening to podcasts again. I was largely not impressed, and other things in life came up, I needed to clear away the distractions again, so I deleted for a second time, and didn’t expect to come back. About two years later I decided to give it one more shot, and after a little adjusting to the changes, and re-learning things, I thought I’d carved a comfy little niche on here. I never really cared about having X number of followers, or getting X number of notes on any given post, I was just happy to have a little place to cultivate some of the mismatched interests I have.

Where else could a bisexual, conspiracy theorist, Disney fanatic, vinyl record collector, with an affinity for fashion, new wave music, classic rock/metal, all things neon, horror movies, and uncountable other sundry odds and ends, feel like he belongs?

Well... not here anymore.

Tumblr have made a decision too. A decision to spit in the face of people who helped make their website successful in the first place. Or rather, I should say, the website they bought. And I want to clarify something, this isn’t even JUST about the NSFW ban. I mean, that’s a big part of it, the fact that Tumblr has elected to take down the livelihood of artists, sex workers, erotica publishers, and try to ram a website that has, since it’s inception, NEVER been family friendly into a box that’s more marketable for their investors, that they can sell more adspace on, and court Apple into letting them back onto their precious app store. The App store which I remind you, they only got kicked off of because of porn BOTS, which this ban has not eliminated, and child porn, which is already against Tumblr’s terms of service as-is, and should absolutely be removed. In nuking ALL NSFW content however they have elected to punish everyone for the actions of a few. 

Worse yet, the algorithm they’re using is... a joke. A joke that flags pictures of deserts and water-skiing as inappropriate content. 

But it’s the manner in which this has been done, and the sheer corporate sleaze evident in the whole operation that makes me sick to my stomachache, and the fact that it’s being perpetrated by Verizon (Ajit Pai’s owners), whom will undoubtedly use this as a stepping stone for worse and worse things in the future.

Today it’s banning adult content, tomorrow it’s banning copy-written content, the next it’s paying for posting and buying visibility. Goodbye independent town square of ideas and artists tumblr, hello advertiser-friendly corporate controlled Tumblr. 

I’m out.

I’m not going to PERSONALLY delete this blog, I’m just going to post this on the 16th, log off, and not log on again. If the bots don’t end up getting me and this blog is still somehow here tomorrow, this post will act as a gravestone for a dead blog. If any of my mutuals do wish to follow me on any of my other social things (all three of them), I will post links below, and if I decide to go to pillowfort or something like that, I’ll log back in one more time to edit this post with that information (assuming it still exists).

UPDATE: I went to Mastodon

I’m on DeviantART where I sometimes post art but usually don’t. I’m on Steam where I sometimes play Sonic the Hedgehog. I’m on Youtube where I cultivate playlists of music, and little else.

If this sounds melodramatic that’s because this website has had an odd pull on me since I first came on about 2011, it’s been an up and down journey, but it’s the longest I’ve solidly “stuck” to a social media thing. It has just enough anonymity to keep the paranoid conspiracy theorist me happy, but just enough personalization to keep it distinctively a reflection of me. Looking back, if only thorough memory, at my older, defunct blogs I see a very young minded, perhaps more innocent and naive vision of me, who discovered new things, developed new interests, changed and grew as a person. I’m 24 now, I was 17 when I got my first Tumblr account, in a sense I... somewhat grew up on Tumblr. And even though I deleted almost EVERYTHING else I had on the internet since then... I kept coming back here for some reason, it has a homey feel to it. It’s comfy here.

So seeing it go the way of a Facebook or a Twitter, a corporate owned, content filtered, advertiser-driven, wreck is like... losing a home away from home. Plus, I’ve reached a new chapter in my own life as well; I’m changing jobs, I plan to move again next year, my best friend is getting married, I have no less then three major cross-country trips to plan in the next 11 months, something’s gotta give anyway. Perhaps now is the right time to put this blog away anyway, I just wish it were still on my terms, and not the terms of a publicly traded corporation that’s against net neutrality. I’d like to thank my mutuals, you’re fantastic, wonderful people and you know who you are, I know a few of you plan to delete too, so I wish y’all the best.

Goodbye Tumblr, it’s been a ride, but I knew it couldn’t last.

#1yrago Trump's “free market” FCC loves monopolies, especially when they rip off prisoners' families

The American prison system is home to one of the greatest market-failures in the history of telephony (which is saying something): a monopolistic system in which sole-supplier, hedge-fund owned telcoms operators charge as much as $14/minute for prisoners to talk with their lawyers, families and loved ones.

It's not hard to understand how this system came about: for one thing, states get kickbacks from the gougers, who earn billions ripping off the overwhelmingly poor and racialized families of prisoners, while prisons (especially private prisons) replace in-person visits with balky, semi-functional video calls that cost even more than voice-calls (and which are easier for prison authorities to illegally wiretap than in-person visits). Is it any wonder that there's a booming market for metal-detector-inert mini-phones that will fit in your rectum?

In 2015, the Obama FCC took steps regulate this titanic, abusive market-failure, but then Trump's FCC reversed course, refusing to defend the rule in a court challenge brought by the states that had shared in the booty. Without a defense, the rule was struck down.

Trump FCC Chairman Ajit Pai styles himself a free market ideologue, but he's never met a corrupt, government-backed monopoly he didn't like, from prison-phones to state laws than ban cities from providing broadband to customers the carriers underserve or refuse to serve altogether.

In the meantime, this monopoly is costing us a generation: 2.7 million prisoners' children are being systematically denied access to their incarcerated parents. These children do worse in school than their peers who can regularly contact their incarcerated parents, are more likely to be expelled, and their parents are more likely to divorce.

The Bugs Lives By Levi Pipitone (Revision).

A short story I wrote some time ago that is simply silly. But nonetheless, I spent a long time on it. Criticism is welcome (as with all my projects). Can't improve if no one hurts my feeling's. I'd like to thank @greeneyesandconstellations for her creative contributions to this unnecessarily long and meaningless short story.

In the 44 years of my existence, I never really fancied bugs. Insects, Isopods, Arachnids, just to name a few of them. These creepy, crunchy crawlers are born from biological happenstance, and from the time they are born have no awareness of anything beyond instinct. Some insects, like ants, are not much different than us. They are born into the world to begin working for a leader, and die without being anything more than a part of an endless cycle. In other words, they are expendable and can just be replaced by other ants just like it.

I have a nice two bedroom estate outside of Houston, Texas. Tragedy struck my residency when my landlord "kicked the bucket" while painting his windows. Crazy bastard used tangerine paint instead of orange on a stainglass window of Jesus Christ. He got what was coming to him. I had a guard job at a launch station for NASA. I protected the Vulcan-5 rocket, which was set to be the first man made object to make contact with the sun. My job is special and not one I seldom take on. I'm apart of an organization called Astronauts Against Bugs, or AAD for short. Our goal is pretty self-explanatory. We ensure that no Insects, Arachnids, or Isopods or any Crustaceans (not just insects and such) interfere with astronomical research. My job in particular is to stand guard at the launch site, and keep crawlers from below climing aboard a rocket from blasting off. Spiders are the biggest threat. If any tip tapping Tarantula gets by my post, with zero exaggeration; it would be catastrophic to all life in the universe.

To ensure with absolute certainty no creatures of any unwelcome status get into the rocket, I set up a few obstacles in their wake. Most often the insect offensives were the least of my worries. Insects are incompetent, and small enough to be crushed by boulders Indiana Jones style. Arachnids are sly and can slip by unnoticed. But luckily there is an effective method of postponing their operation. I hired 26 garden gnomes from Saudi Arabia to pull webs, and slap tails off of Redelli Scorpions with knives and crowbars. They stand no chance against 26, 2'1 standing beings of pure magic. The Isopods are more like mother ships. They come in and drop support units to rush the entrance, but to no avail. The Isopods are violently pulverized by guards at the front gate entrance with real meaty hammers. Our station is impregnable. But in every idea there is a weakness. It is only a matter of time before ours is compromised.

One chilling night however; while I was cleaning the monitor in my booth, I noticed an eyesore of a smudge on my screen. It was slithering slightly, and resembled Ajit Pai in the nicest of ways. "Oh Great Gatsby!" I shouted in awe at the realization of what was before me. "2256, we got an amoeba on site, I repeat 2256!" I exclaimed over the intercom. Suddenly, a rotating red light flickered on, and two more followed suit. Soon the entire space facility lit up with red lights. Sirens began to blare as personnel fled out of the building. I jumped out of my booth window and whipped out a bottle of hairspray and a lighter. I pushed down the buttons with the magnitude 5 times more powerful than John Travolta's chin. Chemistry happened before my very eyes; as flames covered the wooden guard post and ate it up completely. I flipped back to the main building when a harrowing sight caught my attention. On the bridge that connected the rocket with the earth, my 26 Saudi Arabian Gnomes laid lifeless on the metal bridge. Blood covered every inch of the walk-way. Red, runny blood. Tears filled my eyes as the realization of what had just transpired hit me full force. "We... We're compromised" I muttered on the verge of an all out cry from passion and defeat. I turned to the rest of the staff, but none of them stayed around. Flames engulfed the entire launch site. A yellow haze covered every inch of the area and smoke permeated around the environment. I felt many sensations in this moment. Many thoughts flooded my mind. With the heat from the fire, and the tapping march of the Isopods into the black entrance of the Vulcan-5, I remembered one thing. I had the power. I swore to protect this rocket with my life. I even bought tickets to see A Bugs Life to further study their tactics. I learned at my time in the theater that ants actively help grass hoppers. I knew what I had to do. It was all up to me. The rocket was in my hands now, and mine alone.

So quick as a flash, I threw a make shift grasshopper costume together with some coffee straws and elastic spandex, and charged into to the entrance of the Vulcan-5. In my crotch rested a 200 kiloton explosive I kept in my lunch box for emergencies (tax purposes). A multitude of creatures corralled into the rockets entryway. Isopods marched in like soldiers. Spiders began to seal the entrance shut through the usage of intricate webs. I stood at the front of the door only a measly 3 feet away. "This is what I trained for" I told myself. I stared with determination at the web filled doorway, ready to charge. Looking up at the ember filled backdrop, I cluched a shoe I found off of my deceased landlord. I formed one last smile and spoke the gentle words, "Watashi no kutsu no nakaniha, jibun no kangae o kōdō ni tsukau tame no dōgu ga arimasu". With the scream of a thousand Mongolian Warlords, I charged into the black with nothing but a shoe, a bomb, and my integrity as a man. I sprinted inside; knocking over little Isopods in my wake. With the drop of the shoe, a bright light covered everything in existence. I felt nothing. I heard nothing. I even smelled nothing. Not the sting from the heat, or the smell of fresh charred exoskeleton. I was forever to stay in the same place I started. A place where there is quite literally, nothing.

NEW DELHI: Equity indices finished higher on Tuesday with the benchmark BSE sensex rising over 550 points led by gains in auto and IT stocks amid positive global cues. The 30-share BSE sensex finished 558 points or 1.47 per cent higher at 38,493. While, the broader NSE Nifty surged 169 points or 1.52 per cent to close at 11,301. Top gainers in the sensex pack included Ultra Cemco, Kotak Bank, TCS, M&M, Maruti, IndusInd Bank and Bajaj Auto with their shares rising as much as 7.17 per cent.25 out of 30 stocks finished in green.

According to experts, investors continued to pay a close attention to constantly rising Covid-19 cases globally and US-China friction. “Expectations of a US stimulus has contributed to positivity across many other global markets,” Ajit Mishra, vice president research at Religare Broking told news agency Reuters. “Any positive signs from the US market will have an impact on domestic sentiment,” he added. Investors are hoping for improved monthly auto sales numbers when they are announced in a week’s time, Mishra further noted. On the currency front, the rupee settled for the day nearly flat at 74.84 (provisional) against the American dollar, lower by just 1 paisa. (With agency inputs)

Thoughts On KFAD2 Round 3 (Winners’ Round 3, Losers’ Round 2)

Losers’

ZUN VS Mariya Takeuchi

It was a tough choice. I went with ZUN but I was totally fine with Mariya winning. Also their interview is oddly pure.

Wario Partners, LLP VS Metal Ajit Pai

As expected, Wario Partners, LLP won. But for real it should not have been that close. Are there really that many mecha fans in the SiIvaGunner fandom?

Nico Nico VS Johnny Bravo

I’m actually surprised with the results. I didn’t expect there to be that many CN fans in the SiIvaGunner fandom. I’m actually happy with this even if it meant one of my mains dropped out this round. Cartoon Network is my childhood after all.

Dedede VS Papyrus

HELL YEAH PAPS WINS! I’m actually excited for next round considering who he’s up against. Seriously, they would get along so well and it makes for a very interesting battle narrative-wise!

Nintendo Power VS Dr Robotnik

Of course I wanted Robotnik to win this round, but someone I’ve known for a while started really supporting him once I showed him the tournament. For this reason I’m even happier he did win.

Solid Snake VS Rhythm Masters

WHY IS A MEME COMPETITION MAKING ME EMOTIONAL? In all seriousness, I am so happy Rhythm Masters won, but remember what I said about the last round? Well, for that reason as much as I want them to win, I won’t mind even if they do lose next round. Because at least one of us will be happy.

Donkey Kong VS Thanos

It’s Donkey Kong. Of course I’m happy he won.

Mr Krabs VS Missingno.

Ever noticed how the ones I want to win certain matches always get sympathetic posts in the Mojo? It’s like the team knows I have good taste lol

Winners’

Jack Bros VS The Jazz Cats

I was indifferent on this one for a while. Until The Jazz Cats uploaded their rip for this round. I hadn’t realised Nyakuza Metro was a potential source for them, and this changed everything about how I thought about them. So I instantly voted for them as soon as the voting went up. And I’m glad they won.

Weird Al Yankovic VS Law and Disorder

Of course L&D won this round. I do like the music selection they have to offer, but I’m a little concerned that some people aren’t voting responsibly, considering how popular both series are for more than just their music.

Daft Punk ft. Pharrell VS Jack and Elmo

It’s Daft Punk. Was there any doubt they’d win? Again, no hard feelings towards Jack and Elmo, they’re just not my thing.

Dr Piccolo VS DJ Professor K

Not gonna lie, I think DJ Professor K might win this tournament. Considering he’s my #2 pick because I love his sources I’m definitely not complaining.
