One of my favorite albums to come out in the last few years is Etemen Ænka by Dvne. The whole thing is great, but I'll give special mention to the riff at the end of the song Court of the Matriarch, which is so heavy it'll make you feel like you could stomp the earth in half.

They alternated each night on this tour.

I also saw them a couple of weeks ago with Mastodon closing, but I honestly think it would have worked better the other way around. It felt like the crowd used up all of their energy on Gojira and didn't have much left for Mastodon. I saw quite a few people leave early. For what it's worth, I was there mainly to see Mastodon, but Gojira ended up being the highlight for me. They went hard.

The early 90s Lucas Arts adventure games. Most notably Monkey Island 2.

Any recommendations for nicer scales? I'm kind of sick of the cheap kitchen scale I've been using and have been thinking about upgrading.

I'd be curious to hear other people's experience with this test. Personally, the two quality levels are completely indistinguishable for me. And that was sitting in a quiet room, using decent quality wired headphones, and really concentrating.

At least I know there will be no need for me to upgrade my subscription if Spotify ever does start offering uncompressed.

Metal Gear Solid

Monkey Island 2 (The first one is arguably better, but 2 was my introduction to the series, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it)

Before or after you got the fly out?

Oh, yeah, I've seen that style. I expect it works much better than what I have. Maybe I'll pick one up some day to give it another try.

I have one of these, but I've never been able to get good results with it. The screen doodad that is supposed to sit on top of the coffee grounds always flips up and pushes all of the grounds to one side. The resulting cup ends up bitter and acrid, even with condensed milk. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if there is something wrong with my brewer, or if everything is working as intended and I just don't like it.

This thread is going to haunt me. One day, years from now while lying in bed and slowly drifting off to sleep, I'll suddenly sit bolt upright and exclaim, "Why couldn't that dude poop!?"

I've been thinking of trying out Rocksmith as a practice tool. Does it give good feedback as you're playing? Like if your timing starts to drift, will it let you know?

I just started The Three Body Problem. I'm hoping the plot is engaging once it takes off, because so far the writing and characters aren't doing a whole lot for me.
