I was introduced to them when the Nihil album came out (I was in 10th grade). That was also the summer when my first gf and I started dating, so I have so many memories tied to that album specifically.
Nihil, Angst, XTORT, and Money are the main ones in my rotation this week. I was also dipping into the earlier ones a little bit. It's interesting seeing the origin of some of their lyrical memes in the first few albums. -

BuckWylde LinkI've been on a Klaus Schulze kick this week. Irrlicht, Cyborg, Timewind, and Moondawn are all bangers. They pair very well with playing Enshrouded when I'm not in voice chat with the boys.I've been on a Klaus Schulze kick this week. Irrlicht, Cyborg, Timewind, and Moondawn are all bangers.

Also, I daily drove a Chemex for years. While I enjoy the daily ritual we also wanted something that she could use if I'm not home. Deep in my heart the Chemex is my true love but for an automatic brewer I'd say show me one that is better than a Moccamaster. So yeah, it's fully worth it. Also since you can get them in different colors we were able to get one that very closely matches the Robot.

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.

I also switched over to KDE not long after installing Arch and unless something really major changes I'm happily staying.

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.

Comment on Is it a red flag that I don’t have any childhood friends? in ~life
BuckWylde LinkSometimes 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...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 learned a lot in my first save, so starting over doesn't feel bad. The game tickles my brain in all the right places.

Comment on Where do you fit in the US political typology? in ~society
My partner had shoulder surgery on Xmas eve. I've been off work all week to take care of her, and to make sure the dog isn't jumping all over her.
