many thanks!

I used to spend loads of time on forums (mostly for metalheads), and also the late and great Barbelith.

Let the forum follow the function.

I’m a big fan of stonerrock and doom, and a lot of bands within those genres have a tendency to remain pretty much the same, musically, lyrically and atmospherically. Bands like orange goblin, fu manchu, nebula, weedeater, acid king, bongzilla, sleep, dopelord, conan, etc. do not change that much about their music over time. Which is fine by me, not all bands have to reinvent themselves to remain interesting to me.

Also, +1 for picking people up that fall down and holding up a shoe/pair of glasses/hat/etc. that you find on the ground.

The first time I went to a metal gig (Iced Earth) I lost my glasses and people actually stopped to help me look for them. Amazingly, they were unbroken.

this is the most important rule

1: No nasty spikes intended to harm 2: Someone falls, you pick em up 3: No aiming for the face 4: Don’t keep in people who clearly want no part of the pit

Few things frustrate in the same way as technical difficulties, so I hope you don’t have to suffer them for long. Here’s to hoping you’re fully on your digital feet again shortly!

The zen coin flip was the first thing I thought of when reading OP’s post.

Like you states, it does not replace the act of choosing.

But you can gauge by your own reaction to the result of the coin flip, which option you think deep down is the best.

Thanks I’ll give it a try!

Used to play a lot of RTS, both single and multiplayer. The last one I bought was the new AoE game. It did scratch a bit of the itch, but on the whole was a letdown. Before that it was Iron Harvest, which was visually pleasing but clunky. I am still looking for an RTS I can really get lost in.

Any recommendations?

You might like the game tyranny. Just finished playing it and it was quite enjoyable.

This was also the first song I thought of

Love clutch, the lyrics are certainly something that helps them stand out from the crowd

Let it be has to have pride of place

One thing I noticed when travelling through the states is how many American cities have no city centre with just pedestrian traffic. Everything is made with cars in mind, everything is a thoroughfare. In the city where I live in the Netherlands, I can get on my bike and be in the city centre within fifteen minutes. It’s faster to get there by bike, than it is by car. and the city is better for it.

I like going to the market on foot, visiting the city centre on foot, going to pubs, and restaurants, and everything you want out of a city on foot, bike or public transit. You guys would like it too if you convinced city planners to give it a try.

Another easy auto-battler would be Super auto pets. Easy to play on short breaks.

People have made entire flowcharts to guide people towards their ideal King gizzard album.

They are so prolific that they have something for everyone. It is important to find the right entry point though.

Their lastest album is more thrash than doom or stoner. I like all three of those genres, but if you are into the doomy kind of stuff they made an excellent track called “great chain of being”, which is my favorite track off of the album Gumboot Soup.

I finally got the chance to see them live this year and it was great, like three different sets molded into one.

Crumbling castle is my favorite King Gizz song, and this album is definitely in my top three. Glad you liked it, but be prepared to fall down an amazing rabbit hole!

This is 50 % mashup and 50% fever dream. Love it!
