The last chapter of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Echoes by Pink Floyd fit together very well, too.

Superbowl is pretty delightful

Hello Games’ new Co-Op game Light No fire and Big Walk by House House.

It seems that Light No Fire is in development hell, unfortunately.

I guess GTA VI, too, but not really.

Wiesmann, or any other small-scale German sports car manufacturer for that matter. It seems like all sports car brands are owned by big conglomerates nowadays, and nearly all of them are pretty boring and generic as a result.

I know that Wiesmann is still around but they’re nothing but a shell of what they once were.

Shoutouts to Roland Gumpert.

100% this.

Another thing that disappeared with Holden and Ford Australia are normal sized utes, nowadays it’s just all gigantic pick-up trucks.

GNU/Linux is an OS Kernel on which many many different operating systems (called distributions) are built.

It’s quite a bit easier to think of Linux as a family of operating systems, though. Are you thinking of getting into using Linux? I would recommend checking out Linux Mint as a beginner friendly distro with a familiar interface.

I’ve bought a Hiby R3 Pro II a while back and it’s amazing. The build quality is top notch, the battery lasts for 20+ hours and it has basically everything one could need; USB-C, Bluetooth with Apt-X and LDAC, a good screen and a balanced output with plenty of power.

Even rudimentary support for Tidal and Qobuz. The only downside is that there’s no storage built-in, but you can use microSD cards up to 2TB.

A dedicated portable audio player with support for high-res files (that’s NOT running Android).

You can’t just doom scroll all day, no one can call you, you won’t get any spam texts or emails on it. It’s just you and your music.

I’d love to try working at a radio station or a record store, just to do something related to music

Pokémon (grew up with seasons one to four)

The Angry Beavers

CEO sex ring

I obviously never met any of them but the band itself just comes across as a bunch of douchebags, especially James Hetfield.

Meatloaf just had this annoying voice that made his music unbearable, the instrumentation is kinda ok if you like bloated overdramatic arena rock.

Being an anti-wax asshat, he died of COVID a couple of years ago. He was gonna do anything for love, but he wouldn’t do that.

To be honest? AC/DC; they’ve got plenty of good songs but plenty of duds as well. It’s pretty much become one of those bands that if you ask someone, who’s wearing their tshirt what their favourite song/album is, they either won’t be able to give you an answer, or pick a really obvious one (most likely either Highway to Hell or Hell’s Bells).

It’s the same with Metallica and, to a lesser extent, Iron Maiden.

You could sell it for way too much on ebay, those M1 Macbooks are still worth a fair bit. I recently tried to get a water damaged M1 Pro Macbook and people outbid me like crazy; went for 150€ in the end despite being almost certainly a total dud.

Even ones without a working display go for 170€, which is far more than I’d pay for a fully working non-workstation laptop from that time…

Edit: Just looked at the listing again and the water damaged M1 Pro went for 234€. According to the listing it sat around for 2 years after it stopped working from water damage. 234€.

IBM Model M; there’s nothing better than buckling springs when it comes to tactility (and noise).

Those Keychron keyboards do look pretty neat, though.

Tetris DX, either on original hardware or my Analogue Pocket

I used to wonder about how my family and friends would react and what they’d do If I just stopped existing for one reason or another.

It’s a pretty “normal” thought to have when you’re depressed I think, and it’s what sends you further down the spiral. But yeah, even as someone who wants to believe in an afterlife, I wouldn’t want to know anything about what I left behind.

I’m German. Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit oder so…

Mostly taught myself English, since our educational system sucks so much.

Sounds like the Paul Is Dead theory. Which is totally real btw, no doubts about it.
