“I’m Your Fan” was a Leonard Cohen tribute album I really enjoyed, mainly for R.E.M. covering “First We Take Manhattan”! :)
There’s also A Giant Dog’s cover of the whole of Arcade Fire’s album “Neon Bible”, which gives it a punkish edge - I loved it! :)
Hmm…this has me thinking, maybe I’ll change up my Hugo site a little, so that there’s no dropdown menu - it’s the only thing javascript is needed for.
Thank you for this, some points that I’d not even considered, and a helpful reminder to myself to try and get that javascript from 99% to 100% unused. :)
Ubuntu all the way! :) Before I learned there were other ones, then wound up back on Mint again after a trip around the houses. :)
As much as I’m a proud Linux user and Microsoft aren’t at all in line with my values, I upvoted as this is massively relevant to the world of retro computing, and I found it interesting. :)
Guessing a lot of folks will have reflexively downvoted based on the red rag that is the word Microsoft, but nice to read historical stuff like this, thank you for sharing it! :)
Avowed is still going strong! Loving it! :)
I “broke” linux mint just by trying to pop KDE on, had to timeshift because it messed up my keyboard layout and a whole bunch of other things with my display.
I don’t know how people do these crazy changes without pain, and have a feeling the answer is simply “there’s pain” 😂
Thank you so much for this! I never ever see anyone share open-source setups like this for non-hobby work, and it’s inspiring. :)
(Ramble incoming)
I noticed since jumping from windows I’m missing Ableton, and it’s been a mental block of knowing that I’ll need to choose a new way to do things. It’s daft as I loved ardour and LMMS back in 2014, and I’m sure they’re even better now :) I totally need to dedicate some time to music, it’s been a neglected piece of my soul for a bit too long. :)
Edit: also, Plug Data looks brilliant! I loved MaxMSP, and it got me into game making/coding. :)
Wow, the classic Alice In Chains, and Remain In Light by Talking Heads! I didn’t know this person, but what they made has impacted me greatly. ♥️ Sorry to hear this, and glad to know about him (belatedly)
That sounds brilliant! In case you don’t get your chance to boogie through a game, your idea reminded me of Party Pal in Wasteland 3 - a bringer of joy to my many battles!
I loved this game! It’s great to hear someone else’s feeling on it, you’re totally right about the interface, but it was easy to forgive its limitations because of how engaged I was. :) I loved the feeling of frantic problem solving as you connect the dots near the end on things.
Eddy?! How on earth… I knew Heihachi but… why on earth would they do something so daft :/
Thank you, I’m not alone! :)
Primus sucks! Hope they continue being amazing in their lovely zany ways. :)
Ooh I notice nobody has mentioned Wasteland 3 - it totally slipped under my radar, it is a fastastic RPG, with a fun story and good combat! :) It’s what I’d love fallout to be :)
My peavey modeling amp was very proud that it went up to 13! :}
Aw, but I love my Yammy! 15 years on and it’s the only guitar I know will just take whatever dumb tuning I want to try, and it sounds okay doing it! :) poor little guy gets played as much as my nice ones!
I love them because of a sesame allergy! Worry free brioche for the me! :)
Oh my gosh I’ve not saved a post quicker! This is something I’ve wanted to do for ages! :) Thank you
What the flip?! That’s fantastic! :) Thank you, if you have more of these I’d love to learn more.
For me, it’s a bridge that totally lurches sideways - it fits, but goes walkies a bit before settling back into the song. R.E.M. mastered it I think :)
R.E.M. “Pilgrimage” (3:42 for the bridge)
R.E.M. “Ignoreland” (2:49 for the bridge)
