You can’t just make me vanish into a dark room and listen to an album…

… yet here I am, and I thank you. :)

Yeah… I got a disappointed look… 😂 thank you, excellent

Eww yeah

https://heckifiknowcomics.tumblr.com/ had more comics, from a DDG search at least :)

You’re absolutely right, totally different family - I need to get tested properly and find out what’s okay to eat/be near :) mostly negligence on my part! 😅

Interesting… I am very intrigued by this, and will keep an eye out for it!

Great question! I’m not against the idea at all

Well… in truth, I need to get tested - I’m definitely a no-go on almond and hazelnut (i have the hospital trips to prove it!), but peanuts are just a precaution at this stage -it’s easier to avoid the lot if you see what I mean. :)

Woof! Wholewheat is classy, and a little snap never hurt anyone! The fact I’m not alone makes me very happy 😅

Definitely! It’s a solid game, and each game is pretty self-contained, especially new vegas as the setting and writing is very “self-contained”. There’s nods and things, but I never felt like I missed something. :)

Also it’s just a lot of fun, especially if you like choices and RPG things like perks :)

Is this like mint sauce you’d put on lamb? Peanut butter is allergy death, but mint and strawberry interests me!

I agree!! Crunchy uncooked spaghetti or lasagne sheet is a forbidden treat! I do rather enjoy it despite it being “horrifying”

My other nomination is Cheese and Jam sandwiches (jelly for americans) - a little savoury squish with my sweet is just lovely!

I can recommend the burger recipe that uses cream crackers! :) Nothing more insightful to contribute besides that though as I’ve not tried other recipes

(usually the BBC have a version with “less fancy ingredients”, by which I mean “doesn’t assume I have my life together and can afford to have fresh vegetables on hand in my fridge” - this is probably a me problem lol)

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)

I really enjoyed the game, but… I did lose despite having fully solved the case and got a confession. Maida told me it was okay to do, but it wasn’t?

thanks for making and sharing this! :) I’m playing now

edit:

i saw a funky thing in one of my chats:

but that’s it so far!

I now refuse to go back! It took time but now I openly express pain using qwerty on a touchscreen :) Probably the first thing I’d install on my phone (after f-droid to find it naturally) :)

I don’t think I make it through a day without a quote from this being uttered! :)

I’m with you 100% :) I have a record collection too, but heck if I’d want only records! There’s a use case for each, even if mine’s oddly specific.

I feel Steve Albini’s take on CDs hit it correctly, it was basically to the effect of “welcome to the rich man’s eight track tape, the music industry’s newest way to make you re-buy your music and spend more money”.

I will say he couldn’t have forseen CDs lasting like they have and being the last big physical format, but I think it’s very true. You’re right that physical formats don’t negate the greed/capitalism, and there’s a compulsive desire from companies to control how you enjoy the media you paid for and “own”.

In short, I completely agree with you and the media industries are really restrictive/anti-art, but love CDs as a format. :)

I love CDs.

I love that they play in my car, don’t take up a tonne of space, have liner notes, and occupy physical space. I stick them on in the house as much as my LPs, and like picking out what to play.

I’m okay with being in the minority, but the sentimental value of where I was when I picked an album, where I’ve listened to it, and who I was with means a great deal to me. :) I download too, but usually things just sit on my drive and don’t get listened to.

You present a good point about licences, but I’ve not ever experienced this, and my main concern with licencing is things vanishing from my library - it bothers me when an album vanishes from spotify, and that never happens with physical media (same is true of downloaded music to be fair). It’s not that I’m blindly loyal to Phillips or whatever, just that I like this format for my specific use case.

CDs are great though :( I love that I can rip them and back them up, play them wherever I go, no licences or streaming. :)
