    Krisiun has been on rotation this last week, mainly the Conquerors of Armageddon and Southern Storm albums. I've been in the mood for relentless blastbeats paired with tasteful shredding.

    47/M/Oregon. Freshly single after an 11-year relationship and finally came out as bi. I'm the lead roaster at a decently-sized coffee company in Portland. I have a chiweenie.

    Thank you. It actually means a good amount. I've been lucky in that all the friends I've told have been nothing but supportive and happy for me.

    A little over a week ago I finally came out as bi. I've been having an amazing time exploring this new aspect of myself. It's never too late!

    Children of Bodom - Follow The Reaper

    A friend mentioned them and we decided to revisit. I got that album when it first came out and kinda liked it. Fast forward 25 years (holy crap) and now it's such a banger all the way through. The keyboards are over the top.

    I finally got Hades II this weekend. Unsurprisingly, just like the first one, IMO it's a masterclass. I like that it's completely true to the first but with a handful of added bonuses. I have a feeling it'll be holding my attention for the next while.

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

    I technically finished Ball x Pit yesterday. That game IMO is a masterclass in the roguelite/whatever that genre has become. I might end up going for 100% completion, which is a rare thing for me...

    Nice! I'll check it out. When are you moving back? Look into the Portland Synth Library. It's an awesome resource for weirdos like us.

    After many years I've been back into making dark ambient/drone/noise music. I found out about VCV Rack, a software suite for emulating modular synths. 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.

    I have a similar hobby. I love getting interested in a subject, finding out all I can, buying what I need for it, and doing it until I'm satisfied. Sometimes my interest sticks, sometimes it's over pretty quickly once I've reached a certain level of proficiency. Very fickle it is.

    I did a listen of Klaus Schultze's first four albums yesterday while working on an electronics project - very fitting.

    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.

    For me the take-home test was to check for the possibility of sleep apnea. 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.

    My 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.
