I've been struggling for years with chronic pain caused by a tumour, which is apparently now growing. The surgeons suggest doing anything will possibly result in more pain, so I'm feeling pretty trapped currently... Have spent a lot of time fantasizing about MAID.
Besides that, I have no real friendships anymore, and my wife and I fight far more frequently than I feel comfortable with. Apparently my therapist also forgot to send me an invite to a meeting several months ago, then didn't follow up after I didn't show. So now I have to get signed up for that again.
I considered making a new reddit account like a week ago to find support regarding my particular mental health disorder, as I generally feel ashamed mentioning it outside of designated areas. Sadly I decided against it, which in retrospect was probably a poor choice!

It's a dark one, but there are a bunch of incredible tracks so I'm happy.
This song in particular is super hypnotic: https://youtu.be/0gVuRo5kicY
The whole album seems to have a sort of cult / religious fervour theme, that I'd say doesn't portray Christianity in the greatest light. The linked song is from an old video where a father is asking his son to come home to his family, and the son refuses because his love for Jesus is too great. The sample is so eerie and captivating, and I honestly think it is one of BoC's greatest tracks.
The album cover, sleeves, and bonus artwork from the deluxe vinyl are all also somewhat disturbing.. lots of crosses and kids with white eyes. If you are not already a Boards of Canada fan, this is probably not the easiest album to start with. It is definitely horror soundtrack inspired, but there is a massive amount of beauty in there as well.
Besides BoC, a bunch of artists released albums today that I am looking forward to listening to more: Vince Staples, Anjunabeats, the prophesized 5th Skrillex project, Mystic State, Thought Process, Ruban Nielson/Jeff Mattson, and a Koan Sound EP.

Comment on Lifetime Plex Pass will cost $750 USD after July 1st in ~tv
datavoid LinkWhen this completely stops sales, I wonder what they will do to make existing lifetime users pay more. Why anyone first getting into self-hosting would choose to use Plex at this point is beyond me.When this completely stops sales, I wonder what they will do to make existing lifetime users pay more.

Moments later I was on the ground covering my ears, crying and screaming and begging for help (don't do drugs kids!). I used to like some of his songs back in the early days, but I swear his new stuff is just a wall of weaponized sound.

I can totally see MS deciding they need to milk harder as it's one of their only big titles these days. At least we will always have old java versions should that go down!
