Ah that makes sense. Thanks.

Why is that? (Genuine curiosity)

The original Macross opening theme is epic. (As in what the word used to mean)

The theme by Anri from the first season of Cat’s Eye (the original, not the remake releasing now) absolutely slaps. Second season theme (Derringer by Mariko Tome) isn’t too bad either. The ending themes are pretty corny but they grew on me.

Evangelion opening and ending (Fly Me to the Moon, not the Rei themes on the Netflix version)

I can’t remember which season it was in but Seize the Day from Laidback Camp is one of the happiest songs I’ve heard.

Samurai Champloo might have the best music of any anime. The gateway to Nujabes who would become my favourite artist.

Keys, phone, wallet. Watch if needing to know the time is relevant on my trip.

I’m a simple man.

Tempo is beautiful. I was using it but was having some crashes so I switched to dsub2000. Not as pretty but functioned better for me. Tempo is a fantastic choice though.

Tried dual booting Ubuntu and XP back around 2006, didn’t really see the point because gaming on Windows.

2020 got a Raspberry Pi and set up Retropie which gave me a good intro to Linux. Tried to get away from big tech in 2021 and was dual booting Mint and Windows 10. Ended up spending more time in 10 because gaming.

Got an old laptop from work and it was perfect to throw Mint on because no way it was going to handle gaming. Then I set up a media server, initially with the the Pi and then bought a cheap mini for it - and ran it on Mint. I’m primarily a console gamer now so gaming is far less of a concern for me on PC. Mint everything now.

I could distro hop or at least try something else, and maybe I will at some stage. But I’m too happy with Mint/Cinnamon to bother.

Thank you for this. I’ve been under the impression that energy drinks had more than coffee for years now.

Yeah that’s my bad. You are literally correct. I was meaning more figuratively and going with MP3 as a general term rather than the format specifically.

I guess it’s no different to a CD really. Just a smaller file on a bigger storage medium.

An Evangelion AMV set to I’m Not Okay (I Promise) by My Chemical Romance. It was on YouTube and uploaded by a channel Ahhh123the8ball. But taken down for music reasons. Many years ago.

You might get lucky just using the browser.

But unless you’re using pihole or some sort of DNS based ad blocking you will likely get smashed with ads.

Cater to the audience. Being understood is more useful than being right.

Wordpress is what you are looking for. You can even create the page in a word processor of choice and just paste it in.

That will help with the backlog.

The best way is to use in a way that gives, not takes. So any ideas of advertising or promoting - forget about it. Creating a community or maintaining a Mastodon presence for support contact might be about the only thing you can do that’s not going to get you eviscerated.

Most of us are here to get away from the bullshit. Please don’t bring in more bullshit.

As far as PS2 games go, it’s very playable by today’s standards. Controls are a bit funky but easy enough to adapt to.

If I buy a record, I’m sourcing my own download. They don’t need my details to redeem a code I’ve already paid for.

Playing the original God of War for the first time via the PS3 collection. I’m also chipping away at Mario Picross 2 (Gameboy) on my Retroid Pocket 4.

Stickerbrush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2

Fairphone 4. Ubuntu Touch is supported at a manufacturer level, it supports Postmarket OS, easy user serviceable, SD card slot (which apparently is rare now). No headphone jack but that’s about the only downside. I’m running one with Calyx and while it is a little older of a phone - it’s perfectly fine.
