  • Exocrine : The Hybrid Suns

    Jump

  • I think The Zenith Passage is comparable? First Fragment can be fast, though usually they lean into the techy neo-classical sound instead.

  • Exocrine : The Hybrid Suns

    Jump

  • Archspire, Infant Annihilator, Rings of Saturn might stack up? Lemme scroll through the Death Metal folder of my library...

  • Exocrine : The Hybrid Suns

  • Sweeps are slow, not enough blast beats. Pass.

    Just kidding, this rules!

  • What is a "Jerk Hut?

    Jump

  • The hut employs you as a crust stuffer actually. At least the tips are good!

  • Please? I finished Good Omens... what next?

    Jump

  • Its definitely worth the time investment. World building is amazing, very wide variety of character perspectives and motivations. I'll admit, I've never actually finished the series either. I made it to book 8 twice before falling off because you're right, ten massive books is a lot. I do have book 8 on order now, going to start from there this time.

    Also if you or anyone reading this comment likes black metal check out Caladan Brood. The project is named after a Malazan character and all the songs on their single album are rooted in various plots from the series.

  • Tossing Malazan Book of the Fallen into the "chewy" pile!

    Also seconding Redwall, Brandon Sanderson and Terry Pratchett. Robert Jordan likes to tug braids for chapters at a time but there's still good nuggets throughout.

  • The Void™

    Jump

  • Several times a month this will happen after lacing one shoe but before lacing the other. I'll stand up, look down at my feet and just shake my head.

  • Recommendations for the current sale

    Jump

  • Hell yeah! Thank you so much.

    Then there's eternal classics like Stardew Valley, Balatro, Terraria,FTL, Into the Breach, Slay the Spire or Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

    Did you check my installed games? Sure, I've replaced FTL with Void War (same game tbh) and play Slay the Spire on my phone (and laptop via screen mirroring) but that list is ~80% of what I'm looking to move on from!

    I've found success with static backgrounds and turn-based games. I have made due with 1600x90 at 50% texture rendering for CK3 but that's different. I'm not sure if they're on sale but for the sake of listing more laptop friendly games: Across the Obelisk, For the King, Tales of Maj'eyal, Loop Hero and Project Zomboid do well.

    Minecraft and Rimworld depends on modlist. I tried to downsize my 150-odd Rimworld mods and ended up with 200, c'est la vie.

    Will investigate you list tonight and keep you posted!

  • Cast iron rule

    Jump

  • If there is min/maxing to be done then by definition our current practices are not best. They may be (and generally are) good and functional practices but until the research is done we don't know what best practices are or when to apply them.

  • Cast iron rule

    Jump

  • I for one am onboard with pursuing this research. Not just because I think it's interesting and love to scientifically dispel (or support!) "traditional wisdom" but also because pursuing knowledge for knowledge's sake is an admirable goal on its own.

    Knowledge is shareable power and I don't believe in "knowing enough" about something we clearly don't know enough about. Knowledge and research have far reaching effects; researching cast iron pan seasoning is an intersection between several sciences and engineering disciplines and no one can guess what knowledge may be gained until we gain it.

    Project Random

    Jump

  • So like StumbleUpon but vendor-locked to already popular services. Any possibility it could get a Fediverse edition? That sounds actually useful instead of supporting continued useage of platforms with boardroom controlled content-selection algorithms.

  • Recommendations for the current sale

    Jump

  • Looking for suggestions for 2D low-spec/laptop friendly games. Picked up Ale Abbey thus far, simulator/colony managers are my jam right now but want some variety too.

    Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?

    Jump

  • We are stuck in the same spot. Musicbrainz Picard might help? I checked it out but metal genre tags range from simple to way too specific to poorly categorized. Might help you get the tagging done at least.

    Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?

    Jump

  • I have never paid to stream music. I grew up with dial-up and terrible cell reception making torrenting a chore (shout-out leaving Limewire up overnight for one song) and streaming a total non-starter. In high school I checked out stacks and stacks of CDs from the library to rip onto my computer.

    With the help of better internet I was able to access torrenting and luckily my special interest in the metal genre kept me off the ISP radar though I use a VPN nowadays. You may be able to find a tracker specialized in a specific music taste - depending on your attitude towards torrenting. I do my best to recompense the bands via merch (especially vinyl) and concert ticket sales.

  • Canadian man shot, killed on U.S. golf trip while walking to hotel

    Jump

  • Sheboygan actually hosted the PGA at Whistling Straits awhile back.

    I agree with the lack of drive-bys.

  • The whole town is going to zip up tighter than a nun's cunt. That's the deal with towns that small. The petty politics and incestuous infighting take a back seat when outsiders start looking their direction. Whatever her profession, the quoted woman will get shushed and the cops will throw up their hands due to lack of physical evidence.

  • Canadian man shot, killed on U.S. golf trip while walking to hotel

    Jump

  • I grew up and worked around Sheboygan Falls. I have a friend or two that live there. Sheboygan Falls is pretty damn rural and quiet as fuck. "Drive-by shooting" is such a bafflingly unlikely cause of this shooting. I'd be more inclined to believe the police did it and are lying about it than believe Sheboygan Falls had a random drive-by shooting.

    Honestly at this time of year I'd say a deer poacher or some drunk rednecks plinking away with zero regard for what's behind their target (or no target whatsoever) is a much more likely scenario. Actually, now that I consider it drunk redneck drive-by may in fact be a potential cause. Such a dumb fucking place filled with dumb fucking drunks.

    I'm so damn sorry for this man and his family and so damn happy I have moved far away from that fucking part of Wisconsin.

  • Excellent rebuttal. I hope your life improves.

  • This isn't just wealth though. Wealth has the potential to lose its worth in some scenarios depending on the outcome of the current regime. Arable land? As long as we don't hit the MAD button arable land is going to be primo real estate regardless of what happens. Wealth can only buy food; arable land produces it. THATS power.
