Interesting - I find I tend to disconnect when listening to audiobooks (non fiction or other) Perhaps because I listen to music a lot while working/concentrating on other things. I lose track and find I’m not really paying attention to the detail.

I hadn't given any thought to the subject or a long time, being overtaken by other news stories but I randomly watched Zero Dark Thirty (not knowing what it was about) and found the story about hunting a public enemy that didnt want to be found intriguing enough to find out more.

Not really something I would normally read, but I found it a good general purpose account that provided a decent amount of context around and leading up to the event without being bogged down in detail.

For me I loved Dragon Age 2 beacuse I came from Mass Effect and the streamlined effect totally felt like an ME game to me. Also loved the idea of setting things in one city it was something different. Totally get why people don't like it tho.

I did not not have it on my 2024 list (or any other years list) that The Jesus Lizard would release a new album.

Watched these two the other week, starting with USM. Love how the feature the same cast, but ones a thriller, the other more an action movie.

Hadn’t watched the fugitive in a long time. It’s really good. Kicked me off on a bit of a 90s watching binge.

Specifically Wretch era Kyuss.

Sidenote: I read an interview with Greg Anderson recently talking about I and its influences.

*When the weather gets warm and the windows go down on the car, 1 is usually one of the first records I typically turn to in Spring. California isn’t a particularly doom-influenced part of the country, is it?

People used to ask me, how I could be so into doom, but live in southern California? Which is a good point, but Goatsnake took on some of the atmosphere of our surroundings. I was listening to Kyuss a lot at the time and Pete used to spend a lot of time out there and he was friends with Josh Homme and was around during the formation of Queens of the Stone Age. Kyuss was so powerful to me back in ’95. We used to jam a lot with people who liked heavy music like ‘70s obscurities like Cactus and Captain Beyond, Josh even joined in on a couple. He even went to The University of Washington too. We could all tell that Josh had a vision for something that was completely his own; he “big-leagued” us in a way, not spitefully of course.*

Interesting discussion on the 90s output of the thrash bands, incl Slayer. Personally Seasons of the Abyss FTW for the Slayer records, although Paul B's debut was also pretty good.

Great to see he's enthusiastic about it, not sure genpop is though.

/Edit post from Nilay on the comments

It’s more like - what if I just posted here on The Verge, and you could follow me on Mastodon natively? That’s way bigger than ICQ, I think.

The idea you could post from your own business/personal/group website and not have to run through social an intermediary that holds you hostage is a killer feature.

Happy brother user here. We had a hp and the bastard had connection troubles then ended up only printing blank pages. Never again.

[-] _ed@sopuli.xyz 12 points 9 months ago

Why not? Streaming isn’t for collections and with digital media purchases just being licenced long term rentals (see recent Sony fiasco) there’s def a small but viable market.

The bars pretty low right now.

Enjoyed fringe a lot for what it was. Good cast - John noble was great. Enjoyed all the seasons. Masterpiece though? No.

I thought Danny Ric had a good race given the start. Managed to maintain position on the mediums. Aston’s and Ferraris continue to feel a bit invisible. Congrats to Redbull for the record, deserve it.

I guess this means we will get a Daniel Ricciardo focused episode in the next DTS after all :D

No Lemmy ettique missing as there wasn't enough of a community to form anything. I had no issue with the smaller size and all the usual posters I'd see and chat with have dispersed with the larger array of content.

But now you don't get people signing up, talking about the lack of content and disappearing. Or servers set up in hope and shut down - eope.xyz caw.ai Jeremmy.ml or ones that ragequit fapsi.be. And of course wolfballs.

Even if most go back to reddit it will still be an improved space with the servers and communities that remain I think.

It’s quite interesting as I think the twitter migration put the focus on mastodon for a while and this place became quieter and then Reddit didn’t want to be left out so the spotlight is now here and kbin. If only Instagram could join the fun pixelfed would get a bump.
