Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.

All good, I just had never thought of that, it’s cool!
Never seen a target like that before. That’s cool,what’s it made of?
What the hell did I just waste 30 seconds of my life on?
Photo taken with my iPhone, night mode. Surprised how well it turned out!
Hobby? That’s all the “real” stuff is too.
Yeah, Sanderson earned the cred on the original trilogy. It’s a fantasy series, but the magicians are basically Jedi. Great stuff!
And if you understand this joke, time to schedule your colonoscopy
Yeah, no kidding. I just bought tickets for a $15 show that has multiple bands and included a overseas band. I mentioned to them that they should’ve upped the prices to $20.
Also: Sturgeon‘s law still applies: “90% of everything is crap“. Music is so amazingly easy to make these days you can do it on your phone (and I believe a Grammy nominated/winning album did so). Which means that there are literally thousands of albums every year, And so there will be a lot of crap. But between Bandcamp and Spotify and SoundCloud (and so on, even self-hosting), this is the freaking plutonium age if you like new music. There is literally so much that you can’t possibly keep up with it, even in sub genres. And there are some amazing gems coming out daily
Anytime, always happy to talk prog++
Night Verses, Cloudkicker, The Algorithm -Brute Force, Sgaile, Wintersun, and then to mix it up a bit: Standards, and Lantlös
“nearly identical on foreign policy”
Um, not even close. Unfortunately they range from “fine with it” to “actively support genocide” with Israel, but they’re not even in the same realm. See Ukraine and NATO for 2 counterexamples, and authoritarians have entered the chat.
And the entirety of Brute Force. “Engage Brute Force Attack”. Shellcode, userspace, deadlock… such a fantastic album.
Thanks. I was trying to figure out how the joke was supposed to work with Kurds.
Can somebody explain?
As a “casual”, what happened? Full price on top of pay-to-win? Something else?
Since I got downvoted on this - among other things, Patreon is removing the “per post” subscription model. One of the people I follow sent: “This is the second time in as many years that Patreon has screwed up my business”
Depending, it could be your freezer, if you’re storing it there for a bit.
