same for me with EndeavourOS, comrade

It has it’s place but if a choice between that and raw raster within the same power envelope give me the latter every time

Got to say, Marc Alaimo and Louise Fletcher (RIP) two of the best recurring guests Star Trek ever had… Both on the same damn show, both as villains no less

Oh man, and then some. Promising playoff run season before last only to pretty much get kicked to the curb last season

Assuming you mean ice and not field, it’s not popular here in the UK with football (soccer) dominating but I’ve been to some local games, very fun to watch even though ofc the standard is pretty bad hah. One of the TV channels here used to show NA sports late at night so I got into NHL as a teen using my dad’s VHS player to record parts of games. I was the weird kid at school who used to bring in NHL 2001 or ESPN NHL Hockey on Xbox

Unfortunately I’m a Canucks fan lol, though I did catch Rangers-Blackhawks in 2015 at MSG when I visited NYC which was awesome!

Only managed to see him with Madeon on the Shelter tour, not usually my thing but that track was so good and yeah the vibes were immaculate!

Seen Porcupine Tree a few times, Steven Wilson once, awesome stuff

My fave artist, Borusiade, is quite niche and arguably their style of music had it’s peak in the electronic scene around 2017-21 so it’ll be a long shot to see them now sadly.

Awesome, still never made it to Stonehenge yet. You’ll have a blase! Annoyingly, I’m London for a few gigs next weekend or Saturday for the Solstice would be ideal

A future wave and welcome, bring your brolly! Whereabouts will you be visiting?

Music is central to my life, so upcoming releases, gigs, clubnights and festivals are my escapism drugs. That and uh, the actual drugs

Going to the wedding of some close friends too in July, they’re great people so I’m sure it’ll be a blast!

Finally, slowly but surely making progress on my house which I bought three years(!) ago, both in terms of much needed maintenance and filling out with furniture. Still lots to be done!

I’m glad :) More along the lines of “buzziness,” another rec along very different lines is this Ethel Cain track, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvIURYg4qY4 which is off one of my favourite records of 2025 so far, Perverts.

If you like that, the natural follow up is Midwife… Check this track off her album from last year, No Depression in Heaven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT0uFGSKQQU Going even further back along similar lines is early Grouper, like this from her 2007 record Cover the Windows and the Walls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39nQSD0a97A

I know it’s easy to say but time will help, hope you feel better soon

Re: “cocoon” and “space but warmly heated but at least some light,” I strongly recommend HVOB, particularly arguably their best record, Trialog

Here’s the first track as a taster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsBGIhaRBoc plus importantly for me, their music is so good to dance to

Boris - Dronevil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjRS01JApRs

On the new Outlook, clicking on emails that pop up opens them… in the background. Insane design choice

For some reason, opening attachments is a lot more painful that it needs to be in open emails.

Maybe there is an option to remove “open file in browser” but if there is I haven’t found it. Awful, awful design

No, but I did learn not to judge by appearances when a bunch of them invited me to theirs to play mario kart until morning when I got lost on the way home from a NYE party

A backflip, but this was at a houseparty for their birthday so maybe not that odd

I’ve not heard of it used outside the context on royalty even historically here in the UK, perhaps there’s something in that too

Duet from DS9 is still one of my favourite episodes of anything, ever. Could easily be in a lot of other shows/settings too
