What past couple of days! Wednesday I had to go to my dentist for a cleaning and to get a crown moulded for a tooth that I had a root canal done on ages ago, and then yesterday I foolishly pulled and broke the temporary cap they put on the tooth because I forgot all about it and tried some home-made caramel. Whoops! Luckily, my dentist was able to sneak me in to get a new cap put on, that only took like 10-15 minutes so that was cool. I still have to go back in a few weeks…
Currently working on a Read Cash post about our newly created "holiday". The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It's too spicy for Noise 😂 In the meantime, here's a really solid video essay I found on YouTube about the Protestant Work Ethic and how it's shit all over the working class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhG1F0uCvVQ
Read article is coming along, but probably won't be done until next week. But I can't leave you guys hanging on this #FullAlbumFriday! Let's get hard, heavy, and sludgy AF! Eyehategod - Preaching the "End -Time" Message Rakrakan-O-Meter: [██████████] - M O S H ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFuYSdmoDNs Hard to pick a fave album with these guys, but this was the first album of theirs I ever got. EHG have been around since the 80's and have pretty much pioneered the Sludge…
Facebook is down right now... where will stupid people run to for their daily dose of debunked misinformation and propaganda? 😂 I wonder how much it would cost to keep Facebook down? Maybe I can get a gofundme going 🤣
The more I work on this article about residential schools, the worse it gets. I'm not sure if I can top this article that I've found, though: https://omfrc.org/2017/03/solving-indian-problem-indian-residential-schools/
Been putting the Shadowgate runs on pause for a bit while I do some Legend of Zelda randomizers. I've created some especially spicy seeds to play where everything that could go wrong does go wrong. The one I'm just wrapping up has replaced most of the important items with bombs, and left the actual good items hidden as regular item drops for when you clear rooms in later dungeons. The one before that I'd cleared almost the entire overworld before I finally found the sword. I…
Hey guys! I'm off work tomorrow so I probably won't have time to do an album post. That means #FullAlbumFriday comes a day early! Electric Six - Senor Smoke Rakrakan-O-Meter: [████████░░] - Silly, fun, rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtH3DJ8Dyyg&list=PL5A29527743D181A5&index=1 Going a bit more mainstream today. Most people probably know Electric Six from their songs "Danger! High Voltage" and "Gay Bar" which both came from the album before this one. They actually had…
New games coming to my stream soon! Here are some pictures of prizes that I won in a Twitch giveaway last night. I've wanted a TG16 for ages now. To finally have one in my collection is like a dream come true. This is an RGB Modded PC Engine CoreFX + Everdrive + HD cables (The 2nd last pic got kinda garbled the chroma keying for the green screen. The last pic is a better image of the Everdrive for the system) #RetroGaming #TG16 #TurboGrafx #NEC #Hudson
Closing off the long weekend... Back to the grind tomorrow. Booooo
This week flew by, but that's probably because I only worked 3 out of the 5 days 😂 Let's do some Electroclash for today's #FullAlbumFriday with this compilation album! Massive 19 Track Mix From Miss Kittin Rakrakan-O-Meter: [███████░░░] - It's kinda like the punk rock of electronic music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIr6Pt5DSW8 This album is a pretty awesome mix of Electroclash tunes, mixed by one of the pioneers of the genre - Miss Kittin. If you know of her, it's…
Still waiting for the PC-Engine to arrive, but I've also ordered a RetroTINK 2x Pro, hoping it comes in the next few days. This will help get better colour accuracy and a cleaner image all around when streaming retro games to Twitch. While it's not the best of the best, the quality should be adequate for what I need. It will also mean that I will be able to take full advantage of the RGB Modded TG16 when it comes, allowing me to convert the RGB signal to HDMI. #RetroGaming
Thanks to Noise, my BCH wallet just usurped my XRP wallet. 🚀🚀🚀 Thanks to the admins, donors, wallet tippers and the rest of the community. Here's hoping we all go to the moon one day soon!
I now have 3 packages coming my way and the anxiety/excitement of the waiting game is killing me 😂 1. The TG16 and Everdrive that I won 2. The RetroTINK upscaler that I bought 3. A Korg Volca FM - a birthday present that was on back-order for like 6 months It's gonna be like a mini Sol Invictus for me these up-coming weeks. woo!
Speak of the devil lol. Went to take my dog out for my lunch break and met the courier. One package down, two to go.
Item #2 arrived today! The RetroTINK 2x Pro. Excited to put this in use - I'll finally get accurate colours and a sharper image in my Twitch streams... here's hoping it will play nicely with my capture card, though. I've heard mixed reviews with these and Elgato devices 😬 #RetroGaming #RetroTINK
Friday again? This week went by pretty dang quick, and while that's nice it also means that life is just flying by too. As much as I love racing to the weekend, it's a bit morose to realize that I'm rushing through 5 other days of my life to get there. Somebody asked if I could share another Electro album for #FullAlbumFriday and I instantly thought of this one; but I hadn't listened to it in some time and it's not quite as good as I remember it being because I totally…
What does "moved" mean? I didn't touch my wallet, but I have the occasional "moved" entry in there.
Man, outta nowhere I just had the song "Dirge for the Planet" by Firelake stuck in my head. What I didn't know until today is that there was an earlier demo that's metal AF. Here's a cover of version most people who know the song are likely familiar with. It's acoustic and will probably give you goosebumps and/or tears lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urK8zFwa-4c Here's the older demo I just found about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLL9KTT4FOs #Music
Anybody else confused about the $2 tasks that we get on here? The slider suggests how interesting we find a post, but the instructions and buttons seem to hint more that we should be ranking how "legitimate" the post is. The whole thing seems a bit nuanced: - I could find something interesting that is also 100% lifted off the web - I could find the text of a post interesting, but the image might be lifted off the web because the topic might not be something the user has the…
Last package arrived today! In the fine words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "It's Turbo time!" 😂 #TurboGrafx16 #TG16 #PCEngine #RetroGaming
Somehow managed to sleep through two alarms today... 🤦♂️
#FullAlbumFriday! A bit late on account of an unexpected sick day and such lol. Found this Synthwave album earlier this week, and it's REALLY good. Lazer Station - Time Blazer Rakrakan-O-Meter: [███████░░░] - Dark cyberpunk vibes https://youtu.be/f-o93cmpFhA Grab some headphones, put on your sunglasses, jack into the network with your cyberdeck, and live like a boss in the dystopian future! #FullAlbumFriday #Synthwave #Music #Cyberpunk
