    After a couple of restarts and almost 400 hours I finally finished Phase 5 a little over a week ago. I wanted to take a break and figured I might be done with it for a while but I'm already thinking of starting a new run lol. It's so so good.

    I just broke 300 hours in Satisfactory. I had quite a bit clocked before 1.0 but in my current run I'm about to hit phase 5. The complexity is really getting up there, and I'm finding it really helpful to have bite-sized goals to keep from getting totally overwhelmed.

    My mom had a cockapoo for years. He didn't shed at all and he was a pleasure to be around.

    I agree all the way. Over the years I've tried so many distros and my Arch system I've been running for well over a year now has been rock-solid. I also switched over to KDE not long after installing Arch and unless something really major changes I'm happily staying.

    The recent Blood Incantation and Oranssi Pazuzu albums are really, really good. Those will be on rotation for a while I'm guessing.

    Flac, SD card, BT, and linux support (I run arch btw). I don't care about playlists, just full albums. Besides that, not much else.

    I've been thinking of getting a modern mp3 player. Any recommendations?

    Malokarpatan has been in regular rotation for me lately. I can put on their whole catalog while playing video games and it's so good through and through.

    The new Darkthrone is so good. It's stunning how they keep on doing it.

    I'm in a bit of a similar boat. Last weekend I came across Esoctrilihum, a French experimental black metal project and I've been enjoying their most recent release quite a bit.

    Dordeduh is basically the continuation of Om era Negura Bunget. Their two releases are absolute beasts.

    Spirit Possession is a total weirdo two-piece in the best way. I don't really know how to describe them. The vocals sometime remind me of Katharsis and the music has the uniqueness of Negative Plane, Master's Hammer, etc.

    Also garlic. I'm upset about it because it says I chew with my mouth open which is so far from the truth.

    Sometimes I get bummed out that I'm not close to a few of my childhood friends but then I remember why I'm not: It was a realization that if I had met them as adults I probably wouldn't be friends with them. There is also a huge shift in general worldview and/or substance issues that I saw in them that I have a hard time being around.

    I've been fully sucked into Satisfactory for the last couple of months. I got pretty far into my game but started over on a new map after 1.0. I learned a lot in my first save, so starting over doesn't feel bad. The game tickles my brain in all the right places.

    About a month ago I fully adopted a man purse and got an Aer City Sling 2. I love it. The inside pockets allow for a good amount of organization, and the overall design seems to be well thought out.

    I've had a handful of long sessions that have felt much shorter. So many ways to get distracted and start side projects.

    I've gotten sucked into Satisfactory. Holy crap, I'm really enjoying it. I've rebuilt my main factory center a handful of times and now that the basic theory has been making a lot more sense I've been able to better optimize certain aspects of my machines. The dopamine feedback is strong in this one. Also, the basic thing of being able to customize colors in your builds gives everything a huge visual boost.

    I've never actually heard the song, but my best friend (the groom at his wedding earlier this year) sung it at his wedding. He and his now wife are huge Trek nerds.
