I've talked about Indianapolis' scuzz-punk kings BINGO BOYS before, but today I want to highlight their 2021 record 'More'. These songs are ALL bangers, as usual (fun fact about Bingo Boys, they don't even know how to write bad songs that aren't infectiously catchy).

I hope to someday be able to write a song that is as damn good as 'Glow' or 'Spidersac' here -- these tunes SMOKE. 🔥

@wendigo pretty cool! I suppose the irony here is that I watched and listened on YouTube and that he's the singer of one of the biggest bands in the world hahaha

@wendigo I've been fascinated by werewolves for so many years- probably my favorite of the monsters. So many great flicks, too. The original and then of course in Paris, and even Cursed which was kinda weird 😂 Underworld series was badass, I even watched the new TV series with Sarah Michelle Gellar (I don't recommend that one). 😂🤣😂

Bucky O'Hare (1992)
By Konami
[Source: https://youtu.be/plZaGiDTcrM]

Gif from "Bucky O'Hare" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, side-scrolling perspective). Four characters controlled by four players (Bucky O'Hare, an anthropomorphic rabbit; Jenny, an anthropomorphic cat; Dead-Eye Duck, an anthropomorphic duck; and AFC Blinky, a anthropomorphic robot with a single, large eye) use laser guns to fight anthropomorphic toads on the surface of an alien planet, while dodging jets of fire shooting from industrial pipes.

The players are then presented with choosing between four characters: Bucky O'Hare, an anthropomorphic rabbit; Jenny, an anthropomorphic cat; Dead-Eye Duck, an anthropomorphic duck; and AFC Blinky, a anthropomorphic robot with a single, large eye.

@dinosaurgerms 😂 I haven't played the arcade, just the NES platformer I put on my modded mini. Finally got to play it. It's a blast, kinda like Mega Man. And yeah, love Bucky. I used to watch the cartoon in the mornings as a kid! 😍

A huge gap in my knowledge was not having ever listened to Morbid Angel. I recently corrected this error, and boy am I glad I did. I am obsessed with this band lately. Gateways to Annihilation is the current obsession.

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@rtw I didn't fully appreciate em til I saw em open for Cannibal with Blood Incantation right before the pandemic 🤯 I even like their newer stuff, and I'm psyched, I hear we may get a new one soon..

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@rtw hah hell yes! They were GREAT. Favorite death metal band playing currently.. that's tough. Purulency or Degraved for me. hahaha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@rtw heheh Purulency and Degraved I've gotten into JUST this year. Purulency's first EP came out this year- it RIPS. Can't stop listening. My favorite metal thing of this year, and maybe anything ever: https://purulency.bandcamp.com/album/transcendent-unveiling-of-dimensions

Degraved's came out last year and same. Ridiculous shit. Just.. how can a band make something this great hahaha. These are both sometimes almost daily listens for me. They're both short(ish) and 🔥 https://degraved.bandcamp.com/album/whispered-morbidity

May is almost over, but this month is 'Month of LibreOffice' (see https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/01/do-something-awesome-join-the-month-of-libreoffice-may-2024).

I recently went back to using @libreoffice again (I used to use OpenOffice) instead of Microsoft Office, because now Microsoft wants to start charging monthly for Word, Excel, etc.

I don't know why I ever stopped using it (Having Microsoft Office already installed on a new laptop?) but LibreOffice is SO great, I never should have stopped. I love the ease of it, .odt files that work wherever -- the whole thing is superior to Microsoft products.

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@shansterable @libreoffice heck yeah!! Exactly, I had OpenOffice on my Windows 2000 machine and when I got a newer laptop I guess I just stayed with the defaults. But not if they're gonna try to charge me every month, and I'm far from a Microsoft fanboy. Libre it is!

@ookla13 ah yeah - it IS good for resumes. I actually loathe OneDrive, I've never even used it haha. I always turn it off, its syncing is a MESS. But I know wifey uses it at work.

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@ookla13 one of the problems with always-online software or services. Too much control haha. It still baffles me they can just start charging for something that's just supposed to be on my computer. And I suspect that's the fault of OneDrive with its incessant desire to update etc hahaha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@ookla13 Right?? For REAL. An offline, actual piece of software on your machine.

✏️ The Spotlight Effect

The spotlight effect is the psychological phenomenon by which people tend to believe they are being noticed more than they really are. Being that one is constantly in the center of one’s own world, an accurate evaluation of how much one is noticed by others is uncommon…

This is why we can't have nice things. I suppose the eventual goal of PayPal was probably ALWAYS to use all the data collected from their customers to "delight consumers with compelling offers" (who writes this shit? This is seriously the way these corporations think, and they have whole rooms and teams of people coming up with this garbage) https://newsroom.paypal-corp.com/2024-05-28-PayPal-Announces-New-Leaders-to-Build-New-Advertising-Platform-and-Accelerate-Consumer-Product-Innovation
