The Feast of the Gods- Giovanni Bellini & Titian, oil on canvas (1514)

There is no inherent meaning; everyone must find their own.

For me, it’s to try and leave my little patch of the world better than I found it.

Commodore 64 here, too.

First Linux distro was Ubuntu.

The most important part about learning a musical instrument is consistent practice.

1 hour twice per week is not as good as 20 minutes every single day. And you do have to play every day if you want to improve. Work on one thing at a time and most importantly: use a metronome.

Guitar is a meditation exercise: you have to learn to love the process. If you aren’t having fun, maybe it just isn’t for you.

Your Beeness

Yes! That was the best Wing Commander game.

In no particular order:

• Elden Ring
• Team Fortress 2
• Day of the Tentacle
• Freelancer
• FTL
• System Shock 2
• Duck Game
• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Rome: Total War
• Diablo 2

Dan Savage is the best in the biz.

Mountain Goats

The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton is a certified banger despite being one of their sillier songs.

That’s wild, I thought crows lived everywhere humans do.

Oh sure, I just think there’s some overlap because the cast on Dungeons & Daddies are all filmmakers themselves so they go for more of a cinematic presentation than any other D&D podcast I’ve heard.

Personally I wouldn’t play D&D again because it’s not my kind of system, but they don’t waste your time like other AP podcasts I’ve tried.

But hey if it’s not your thing, no big deal; it’s kind of a nice thing to know about yourself.

Film Reroll is a top-tier AP podcast.

If you like them, check out Dungeons and Daddies; it has a similar energy. I wish they’d guest on each other’s shows!

I walked into Katz’s Delicatessen and ordered the pastrami reuben. One bite later and I knew my life would never be the same.

Love me some KSR.

His Mars series is my sci-fi Lord of the Rings.

Just wanted to say this comment got me interested in a Kratky setup, should have the rest of the equipment later today. Thanks for sharing!

Gonna start off with some leafy greens and see how it goes.

First one I remember was the Commodore 64.

We used to type programs into it from my Dad’s books just so we’d have more games to play on it. When it didn’t run, my brother and I would have to check the code again line-by-line.

Also, we didn’t know how to write to disk, so if someone powered it off that game was gone.

For podcasts (not music) I like a single wireless Bluetooth headphone so that I can pay attention to the world around me. The audio fidelity isn’t that important to me for just listening to people talk.

From what I understand, time began at the Big bang, so the concept of “before time began” doesn’t really make logical sense in the same way that one cannot go north of the North Pole.

It’s mind-bending to think about for sure.

You should look into Calibre, it’s library management software for e-readers, and it works wonderfully with a kindle.

You can convert between lots of different formats and load them to your reader from your PC or Mac.

I’ve loaded books from Google’s service and public domain stuff from Project Gutenberg and archive.org. I’ve loaded some PDFs on it which are kind of janky, but sometimes workable depending on the book.

But basically, I’m not worried about being able to read a book on my kindle unless it’s a PDF.

The Friday the 13th campaign is my favorite AP series ever.
