Music of all kinds, all genres. Death Metal and Bebop next to Filk and Rachmaninoff.

Official forum threads for episodes of GeekNights and show-related discussion.

Actual science discussions, like astronomy, biology, physics, and space travel. If you don't think it goes here, it probably goes in Technology instead.

Movies of all kinds that aren't best categorized as "anime". Classic cinema, garbage B movies, etc...

Animation from or generally associated with Japan. No one is interested in arguing with you about what "counts" as anime or not. If you feel like it's anime, talk about it here.

Tabletop orthogames, german board games, card games, etc...

Games played on computers, consoles, or brain implants.

Sportsball! Athletic orthogames like football, hockey, baseball, basketball, F1, etc...

Actual political discussion and discourse. If you want to argue in bad faith or be a devil's advocate, go over to Flamewars instead.

Role playing games like Burning Wheel or Dungeons & Dragons.

Wanna start a fight? Argue in bad faith? Be an insufferable pedant? Let's roll.

Yo dawg. If you want to talk about the forum itself. Suggestions, complaints, or just ridiculous pedantry.

Art you have created wish to discuss from an artistic perspective. Illustrations, crafts, models: whatever!

Travel to hotels or convention centers where like-minded individuals enjoy a shared experience related to their hobbies or work.

Comics, graphic novels, manga: anything that involves sequential illustrated storytelling.
