The first album is Goldstar by Imperial Triumphant.  It's an eclectic work composed of mostly of technical and avant-garde black and death metal. Unfortunately, there is no Youtube video of the full album, so I linked a playlist and the Bandcamp page.

The second and third albums are the collaborative albums of KikuoHana, First Act and Second Act.  Hanatan has quite the vocal range and, like anything involving Kikuo, these albums are bizarre but fun.  These are silly and over the top, but sometimes that's nice too.

The fourth and fifth albums are by White Ward.  First is Love Exchange Failure I love the album name and second is False Light. These are experiment post-bl

Also, I forgot to mention the KikuoHana album covers were made by Gekidan Inu Curry, the duo behind the witches in Madoka.

This always looks super tedious to me.  Do you find all the fetch quests, etc. to be relaxing?   Sorry if I sound rude.  That is not my intention.

I think there's multiple aspects I enjoyed. When you first go to an area it won't be part of the network and often your resources will be limited, so there's fun in finding ways to navigate the pristine landscape and the trade offs you'll make in going more direct routes over easier ones.

Afterwards you'll have the structures other people you're connected to appear, making life a little easier, and the passive community effort to maintain things like roads. Feels rewarding knowing my roads and structures helped other people. After that point it becomes bretty cathartic to load truck up to the brim and then go along a route, delivering as you go.

It's a berry love-it or hate-it type of game.

During first year of uni, made some friends that wood play videogames with me all night, didn't study much because it wasn't difficult, lived bretty much alone even though I shared a room, the other person was never home and it was the last comfy winter I remember, eberry winter since has been humid and not really cold.
Alternatively my second to last highschool year, my brothers were gone so I finally had a room to myself, I wood play vidya and watch anime all night, go to school on the morning and the  sleep all afternoon, some people were worried about my sleep cycle but I was living the dream.
Now that I think about it my comfiness relies too much on my being alone

Comfiest time in my life was berry recent before a huge life change. I worked at a car dealership fixing cars. At that point in my life, I had tried (and failed) to get my degree, so I was bouncing around different jobs and coming home to vidja eberry night. My relationship with my mom wasn't the best and I know she must've been worried about me spending all my time online. We'd argue a lot, so there was plenty of tension at home.

When covid came around and people started becoming scared just to leave their house, strangely it had the opposite effect on me. I'd go out of my way to get to parks or just walk around my neighborhood and even developed a personal route for jogging. I think I just hated being told I couldn't go do something that should be a normal thing you can always go do. I'd been playing vidja all my life and I finally started growing out of it because of this. My online friends and I were sad, as they were my closest friends I had at the time and this change was berry abrupt, but we all ended up going our separate ways.
I ended up falling in love with the whole car hobby. Shortly after, I started working at the dealership parking and washing cars. I was enthralled by car culture; something I never even had any kind've remote interest in before. It started after my brother bought this suped up sports car and had me drive it. I couldn't believe how much fun I was having, it completely opened up this whole world to me that I never knew existed. Him and I'd go

The norm now is that most kids will jump at any excuse to give up. It's like they're looking for opportunities to honorably discharge themselves so they can have the dignity of saying they "could've" soared without having to actually exert themselves. I was irritated when the effort vanished, but at the same time this was an unprecedented scenario and nobody knew yet what the reasonable expectations were. I also taught film & video, which is a hard thing to do from home when 90% of them only have phone cameras and nobody to work with. I'd hoped to see more fight in them, but in the end they interpreted the lockdowns as a perfect chance to give up. We just retooled eberrything the best we could so we could restart fresh next time.
One girl submitted a film was basically her leaning over her couch in a tank top, braless, gabbing on about how she was so bored and alone and wanted to brighten up her life by doing something crazy. It was obviously an invitation from a girl who was scared of failing, but I didn't bite. I'm married, anyhow. This is the first time I've thought about that in years.

I'm the same anon that made these two posts, I was just thinking of them earlier this week. I never got that camera unfortunately, but I'll try within the next year or so. But I have been taking pictures, just with my phone. 
Anyway, life is still comfy for me, I'd probably say even comfier now that I'm a bit older and more mature. It may be uneventful, but I like it that way. Leisure wise, I've been visiting different events that they have locally in my area. Just goes to show that even though I wish to travel abroad, there's still so much back at home to explore. I plan on visiting some docks again later this summer, different from the ones I mentioned in my earlier post (I'm going to visit those again too). The one I plan to visit is by a museum with a ton of historical ships, so I'm sure to have a fun time.

Here's one that we did that I mentioned was reconstruction of a lost ZX image file from the 80s. Also here's two edits I made.

It seems odd to me that an old piece of Spectrum artwork like this wood end up lost considering how dedicated old-school computer hobbyists were, especially when it comes to one this well-made.

>>10704
A lot of Spectrum software was released on cassette tapes. I imagine many have gotten lost or rewritten over the years. And this was from a fan magazine from the 80s, probably with limited circulation in just the UK. A lot of this art probably only had one or two firmware copies in the whole world at the time.

There's several of them I need to collect them together and post them. They all have a berry similar period look to them.

DiHalt Summer 2025 is going on right now so maybe there will be a flood of new Spectrum art coming out over the next several weeks.
Maybe some will be good for puzzling too.

So you were looking to do something similar to your old one but stick closer to what your original intent for the old one was initially?

The old one looks useful, but I like the color and more minimalist look of your new one. It's stylish.

Nice work, OP. Keep it up!  :)

This looks bretty nice. What will you use to keep the top flap closed?

Velcro is the best tool for the job but it isn't berry important to work on keeping the lid closed. Gravity works far better than one wood think. having belts are berry vibes thought,

The issue is control. They want all of it, and want you to have none of it. Anonymous platforms argues against that dystopic outcome. Thus the attacks.

I got down into berry deep ends of  tech paranoia at some point, gentoo operated by keyboard only, the only internet connection out is throught tor, I think i wasted more than 100 hours on tech paranoia but after i got over the severe paranoia i continued to use linux but in a normal way. 

I currently use windows for work because corporate and linux for personal use. At first win11 looked soo slick with all those animations then they tasked me with installing licensed software on colleagues machines, then i saw that modern Win 11 had eberrything and more that made me soo paranoid years ago, seperation of user and actions is shrimply impossible.

For most software, the biggest time is spent on making the license restrictive, pdf editer with kernel access, text processer that requires me to spend 30 minutes on the phone with a computer iterating 50 numbers one by one to some robot to prove that i am a human, adding a terminal number for each user in some old out of place looking menu soo the user licensed management software finally runs. 

The worst part of it all is that no matter how much i try, how much i read the fineprint in all installer wizards, i miss some additional software installs that autostarts itself (i can't believe mcAfee still exists!) which slow down the clients computer and after 3-4 years of operation it is too virus infested to operate normally. Even my own windows machine, w

>>14284
You didn't get it, my friend. I don't give a smallest piece of caca about what windows 11 is under the hood. I respect windows 11 because it's honest with me. "I will spy on your eberry move, but I will get the [corporate] job done". Linux, on the hand, is a huge, continuous, hopeless hypocrisy. freedesktop most of all. Using Linux is like trusting your life to a schizophrenic. You never know when suddenly decide to break eberrything that just worked. Recently wayland overtake has started with red hat trying hard to drop X11. How can I trust such ecosystem? It promises one things, but delivers opposite. I need Linux so I can understand what's under the hood, but the more years go by, the more they make me depend on software so horribly over engineered that you can't tell the difference between a vulnerability and a backdoor

>1. Freetube or Pipepipe to avoid clickbait, block channels, and remove comment sections. ikatube and its sister programs are also berry nice and comfy.
I've been using Freetube for a little while now, and I definitely recommend it too. It's not even that you can avoid the front page of YouTube (which is something that you can also do with browser addons), but also because it allows you to follow channels without having any account and is also better for privacy purposes.
