Been listening to a lot of With Teeth which was an album that sorta snuck up on me. I don't usually have albums that have a large lyrical impact but I found myself just gravitating to the album. Sunspots was one that grabbed me for some reason, the mix of the fuzzy bass and Trent's falsetto on the choruses just made it stand out for some reason. Frankly, Trent's vocals were something that tricked me up a lot, because the two albums I previously listened to most were The Downward Spiral and The Slip which are mostly straight clean or shouted vocals, with occasionally wimpering songs, not his full range hit in a ten second period.
I actually went to run through "Sunspots" on my new cheap Chinese six string bass (I like the challenge of adapting drop-tuned stuff to it), but ended up pivoting to going through most of Year Zero instead in a fun session, largely by ear (referred to tabs for two songs I thought my ear was a little off on).

Somebody here turned me onto a guy on Twitch, kilg0re_Tr0ut, who plays a game called Sherlock once every stream. Everett Kaser has a ton of interesting looking games.
Tetris and Puzzle League are go-tos for me as well for endless puzzles that you can just pick up, do for however long, and leave. Flipon is a great Puzzle League clone as well.

Their lyrics are generally pretty good, and I feel at least earnest, but a line that bugs me in one of the choruses is:
I hate it when you preach your case
It makes me want to stick my dick in your face
And you should go down, down
Save someone elseThe second line just seems unnecessarily obscene and out of place. It just sticks out for that in an otherwise good song. I'm not particularly prudish it just... kinda sticks out like a sore thumb (ha).

Alien Ant Farm. Deep discography, amazing writing, good lyrics. They have a few hits, but their "Smooth Criminal" was the hit.
Hot Action Cop - this like bro-rock outfit from Nashville, has a surprisingly solid, limited discography. I'd say their hit is "Fever for the Flava," which is actually one of my favorite songs to run through on guitar any time I'm jamming. House of Pain is a huge shift in tone for them, and a solid song off the album Listen Up!.
Presidents of the United States of America - Ironic, catcny, fun songs on instruments created by the band Morphine. PUSA's hits are great, but their deep cuts are better, talented band with a overall good vibe.
One that should get more respect:
I got really into the band Filter and have only gotten more into their stuff. Richard Patrick (brother of Robert Patrick, aka the T-1000 from Terminator) is a great vocalist with a scream unmatched in rock (different than Chris Cornell's, i wouldn't say better though). Their first albums were a take on industrial that was less synth oriented and more heavy guitar, with Richard Patrick describing that he wanted to make the heaviest album he could without writing metal. Title of Record is now one of my favorite albums ever, but their album Short Bus doesn't really miss except for a couple of lyrical fumbles (I'll share that in the sore thumb lyrics thread. The band started after Patrick toured with Nine Inch Nails and complained about the pay to Trent Reznor, who said "Well, write the album next time" and gave him the address of a pizza place looking for a driver. It lit a fire under his ass to strike out on his own to, frankly, pretty good success, but nowhere near NIN's. -

I would never call System of a Down a one hit wonder, and even then it would've been "Chop Suey" or "Toxicity" that did that for them. I mentioned Devo to my mom and she was like "Oh yeah, 'We Are Devo," when the listed song was "Whip It."
Going through some of the sources it looks like they're using other shoddy sources.

I've been really into white whiskeys (aka Moonshine) after my brother went to Tennesee last year. There's something about a good one that has this sort of corn flavor, smoothness, and sweetness to it. I can't find anything that compares to the stuff he brought from TN, but Sugarlands' Backpacker is pretty close. Hudson Whiskey, out of New York, has a pretty good one, but Backpacker has more of what I like (corn), and less of what I don't. A side note to Mellow Corn, which is an interesting barrel-aged, but still corny moonshiney whiskey.
Otherwise I'm often in bourbon and rye. I think Sazerac Rye is one of the best in the segment, but there's plenty of great Bottled in Bond (legal classification requiring 50% standard), like Rittenhouse that has a nice flavor profile. Evan Williams has a surprisingly nice bonded rye as well.
I've been into Uncle Nearest for bourbon. Basically this distilliery is run by the descendants of Earnest "Nearest" Green, one of the original master distillers of Jack Daniels. Their whiskey is a bit smoother, more barrelly (sweet, vanilla, oaky notes), less harsh burn that Jack. I would recommend Nearest Green as a comparison to the standard Jack Daniels for a comparison. 1884 was the first I tried and was an improvement, but not quite twice the improvement for the price.
For scotch I like Islay but am not particularly versed. I prefer the nasal peatiness of Islays (like Lagavulin 16, but 8 is also pretty nice), or the Johnnie Walker blends (Green and Double Black for me, blue doesn't offer as much for the price point, IMO). I haven't explored much in the highland scotches, but definitely intend to.

What even is this damn game?! I asked a coworker it if was like VVVVV with its map layout and he said "sorta..." but it's like that on steroids. I've played Shovel Knight, Cave Story, but this just feels like Skyrim: The Platformer.
I'm burning out a bit so I also bought Animal Well, which I don't quite understand but played for five minutes. I keep working myself into a corner where there seems to be one thing I miss before the next major progression.
Skate.
I was out sick so had the opportunity to get this one running after setting up SecureBoot and registering my Debian key so I can use Javelin in Windows. The goals break the flow up, the tutorial should be skippable if you say you already played Skate 3 (they ask for controls), but it just feels like more of a great open franchise.

I'm not bitter at all, as I still haven't beat STS on normal (I've cleared a few OP dailies), and totally respect finishing the game properly, rather than rushing it out the door. I'm sure they need a bit more time from switching engines as well (From Unity to Godot when Unity pulled its stuff last year), and welcome any time they spend making it better than I assume it already is if they waited this long to push back.

I've been locked onto Koloss most often. I think it's Meshugga's best album, and think Meshuggah is perhaps one of the best metal bands to ever do it. They go between stellar lyrics with amazing rhythms, legible harsh vocals, and wild time signatures with a still detectable pulse (Thomas Haake builds usually builds his parts around a 4/4 or 3/4 pulse, giving you something to anchor to as the rest of the music phases around).
Lamb of God's New American Gospel has been getting some rotation, as well. I'm trying to learn the song "Black Label" on guitar because, to me, it's an excellent song on guitar for simplicity, endurance, and form reinforcement. The breakdown is just a chug on an open drop-d string, which really emphasizes relaxing the wrist, but still intricate enough to keep the left hand moving, and require a bit of a careful approach. Of course, driving around, I let the rest of the album play, so I'm listening to it as well, but Black Label is probably my favorite song on the album.

I looked them up after your description and WTF'd hard, I had no idea they were a progressive deathmetal band (emphasis on progressive). I also found a video of Paul Water chick'n pick'n, so any band that does that gets a couple extra points in my book (I got the technique from Brent Hinds, RIP, but it definitely adds a unique sound, especially in high gain).
Would you say "The Blue Nowhere" is a good start for them?

This game is blowing me away with its story (sparsely told, but honestly pretty deep/well-developed), mechanics (getting wall-jumping completed the featureset for me), and overall feel. It's a little creepy, kinda cute, and generally just good fun. Hard, but not cruelly so, and sorta like Dark Souls, if I blew a boss fight, it was because I did something wrong, not some weird movement pattern.
I've wanted to play a game that I felt properly challenged me for a minute, and Hollow Knight is definitely that. It's super satisfying to be stuck for 45 minutes then find the spot I missed and find a bunch of new progress to make.
And a cheeky vent (spoiler):
Spoilers abound
Fuck the Soulmaster. Fun fight, two stages. I was *heated* after "defeating" him, collecting the soul, watching him flit around the screen in what appeared to be a death throe, then crash through the glass. It took me *four more tries* to finish that fight because the phase two was so difficult. But *so* worth it.I'm also back into the roguelite deck builders. Still trying to get that first non-daily Slay the Spire ascension, but might need to watch some Northern Lion or something (his videos are great, he talks through every decision which helps thinking about strategy), but I can't crack the second boss. I'm trying to focus on the Ironclad for now, just because I want to push with him. I'm chipping away at Balatro's challenges, as well.

After jumping in and becoming obsessed, there's only little animated vignettes to lead to important things, and very few actual cutscenes, and it all flows well.
In the run-up to Silksong I was like "An indie with this much hype and no discernable BS has to be good!" I gave it a second shot and it's been my go-to. I had a bit of the same problem I had with Celeste where I started it then picked up some time after so had to re-watch the opening scenes on YouTube to ensure I didn't miss anything.
Strangely, I kinda liked the Dark Soulsy-ness of it with the random entrances leading to tough enemies and having to retreat back to get your geo, it's far better than just losing everything and, in general, you were likely going to be headed back that way anyway. The death/retread cycle is something I like, strangely, except for those longer sections, but at least you don't have to fight all of the same higher-level enemies every time.

Go into your PC's firmware settings and adjust the boot order for Windows 10 to be first, the bootloader should kick in.
I would recommend using Boot-Repair to see about fixing the Mint install. It should look around and see if there's a missing GRUB install and fix it. I've used it in the past and am more comfortable recommending this than suggesting somebody who can't even tell us if they're in BIOS or UEFI how to fix their system (no offense).
To check how you're booting you could boot the Mint image and run the following:
ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/
If you can run this you're on UEFI. Look for an output like this:

Unfortunately for you Huy Fong Sriracha is my go to. Melinda's Sriracha is a solid backup, and their Habanero Garlic is a great alternative. I plan to keep them stocked. I would recommend trying other srirachas as they all taste different, and Melinda's is quite good, almost fresher/less fermenty.
El Yucateco is also really great, their habanero packs a solid punch, I think. It's in my southern California grocery stores, but I'm not sure about nationwide offering.
Try Tabasco's other sauces. I like their chipotle as something to add smoke, jalapeno for green brightness, and they have a scorpion pepper sauce that's good for adding a sting of heat to stuff. The Jalapeno is a good general sauce, though.
The problem is for people escaping right wing religious ideology they are inseparable to them. I gave up Christianity wholesale when I realized my ministers were ignorant hateful goobers, their followers were book-burning hypocrites, and my church/denomination's teachings did not align with those of Christ. Mine wasn't a particularly problematic separation, and the core values I liked still guide me.
When one peg falls the entire structure collapses, and I feel must collapse. If one wishes to rebuild and finds fellowship with a new group that aligns with their own values, but usually those of us who broke away from our fold did so through great necessity, mental effort and suffering (yes, even in my self-driven, easy case), and that leaves a mark.
I agree there is a lot of condemnation of Christianity that many Christians don't deserve. Had a political science professor who was great and would have definitely gone to anything hosted at his church that he invited us to. My brother has a friend who is a pastor's daughter and went to his fellowship gatherings and said "If that was our church I'd be a Christian still."
I don't think the swing to /r/atheism is necessary (I regrettably went that way but felt even they were pretty far out there), but I wholeheartedly agree that we shouldn't discriminate on religious affiliation but what that position is used to justify.
