I might end up going for 100% completion, which is a rare thing for me to want to do. Hades 2 might be the next on my list.

It's been a really cool learning experience. I also have a small hardware setup (not modular because $$$) that I hope to eventually use for a live set like back in the day. Here's my bandcamp page.

Sometimes my interest sticks, sometimes it's over pretty quickly once I've reached a certain level of proficiency. Very fickle it is.

Also, I came across The Sad Realm Of The Stars by Odium along with Epitome Of Illusions by Limbonic Art. They're both synth-heavy symphonic Black metal from the 90s. Once I get into that mood I can't get enough.

Comment on It's impossible to evaluate your sleep with only one number in ~health

After it showed negative, then I went in for the overnight sleep test with the multiple sleep latency test the next day. That ruled out narcolepsy type 1 and 2 but I was given the diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia. In the MSLT's 5 nap sessions I fell asleep quickly enough each time but never hit the REM stage. Even though it was assumed that apnea wasn't the issue they still had to rule it out with the take-home test.

BuckWylde Link ParentMy favorite is instead of "Sad But True" I thought it was "Sex Patrol". The black album came out when I was in junior high, so I guess that fits the bill pretty well.My favorite is instead of "Sad But True" I thought it was "Sex Patrol".

Comment on Swedish black metallers Watain have announced that their upcoming eighth studio album will be their final collection of new material in ~music

I greatly enjoy so much other stuff that's similar but there's something about Watain that just doesn't do it for me. Like 0x29a eluded to, I'm also not a fan of them due to their on-stage Elon "salutes".

I was a noisician years ago and have wanted to get back into it. I realized lately that I want to get more into the DIY aspect, so this should be a good starting point.

I was just telling a friend who's 12 or years younger than I am about how it was playing the first Legend of Zelda when it came out. I was a kid who got an Atari 2600 and then got an NES when I was in early elementary school. Seeing how massive and immersive Zelda was at the time was stunning. I never ended up finishing Zelda until I was in late high school but I used to just vibe out exploring in Zelda. This time playing Elden Ring I've decided to do it in a similar way. I still get scared going into boss fights because I'm not actually gud, but I'm really having a good time. Elden Ring is a masterclass in the feeling of discovery, and it's easily the game I've played as an adult that gives me similar feelings as Zelda did as a kid (Skyrim was also up there).

It's there but more in spirit than gameplay if that makes any sense.
