i've always found pop covers of metal songs fascinating as they clearly draw out the original creator's intended melody and reveal the pop underpinnings of metal (standard verse-chorus song structures, for example), and The Cardigan's cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath comes close to being one of my favorite renovations.

anything else come to mind?

@djlink Every couple months I recite this meme when I see an exhausting 40 hour plus game trying devour my attention. I miss the weekend game. Remember when you sat down with a game on Friday and beat it by Sunday? I miss the weekend game.

ENJOY!

Pixel art of a mystical forest scene, where the trees stand tall and ancient on either side of a small pond, their gnarled branches reaching out like twisted fingers. The grass around the pond is long and wild, swaying gently in the breeze that rustles through the leaves of the towering trees. The sky above is clear and bright, casting a warm glow over the entire scene. The water in the pond is calm and still, reflecting the verdant greenery around it like a mirror. The forest itself is lush and thriving, filled with all manner of flora and fauna that call this place home. The beauty and tranquillity of nature in its purest form - untouched by human intervention and brimming with life. It's as if time has stood still here, allowing one to lose themselves in the serene landscape and feel at peace with the world around them.

GARY NUMAN
The Pleasure Principle
1979 Canada pressing

Once I finished listening to the John Foxx record, I had to put this on.
Gary & John are two artists that are forever entwined for me.

The Pleasure Principle is one of the greatest albums of all time, regardless of genre or era, and NO I did not stutter.

Without Gary (and John as well), it’s hard to imagine a world that has Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, or Depeche Mode.
Just a legendary artist.

ENJOY!

Pixel art of a majestic Mayan jungle river temple, where deep within the lush, emerald rainforest, a stone colossus rises from the earth's sacred embrace. Towering above a sea of verdant foliage, its intricately carved doorways whisper secrets of ancient civilizations, tales etched in stone and time. Golden light, like liquid fire, filters through the dense mosaic of leaves, casting ethereal beams that dance upon the temple’s weathered stones, illuminating a mystique hidden away for millennia. The air is thick with the scent of moss and earth. Here, nature and history intertwine, a symphony of silence and whispers, where the temple stands as a silent sentinel, a keeper of forgotten lore. Shadows play upon its surface, revealing and concealing in a perpetual dance, as if the spirits of the ancients themselves infuse the air with their presence. In this enchanted realm, the past and present meld into a timeless dream.

I've stumbled upon a video elaborating over the idea of "Videogames are meant to be played, not looked at" discussing that graphics don't need to be awesome but the gameplay needs to be fun (case in point: Minecraft is the best selling game of all time), and I've realized that that's one of the main reasons I do so much . As long as the gameplay is engaging, graphics are just a means to an end. And old fun games don't require a latest-gen £1000 NVidia GPU to run decently.

I’m 42-years-old, and I’m always looking out for new music. And not just new music – forgotten music. One of my hobbies is trawling YouTube for songs with 0 views.

But I’m an outlier. For most people, discovery of new music peaks at adolescence. And when you hit your 30s, musical taste calcifies.

There’s lots of data to back this up.

I notice this doesn’t just happen with music but with movies as well. Lots of older men don’t want to watch new movie franchises. They want to return to the old “nostalgia” well again and again.

Personally, I find such malaise depressing. I never want to stop growing as a human being, experiencing new things.

CHART: When was the best decade for music? Your answer probably depends on how old you are
CHART: On average, peoples' music taste evolved quickly through age 25, before reaching "maturity" in the mid-30s
CHART: average number of artists in listening rotation by age group

ENJOY!

Pixel art of a regal edifice rising, its clock face a moon against a tapestry of cogs. Intricacies abound in metallic flora, a filigree forest on facades of ageing copper and brass. Tiny, imagined artisans have toiled, embedding their souls in interlocking teeth of gears, the silent choreography of time's eternal ballet. Pulleys bear the weight of moments, while pendulums sway to the rhythm of unseen forces. Mercury, the liquid sentinel, traces its path in slender glass corridors, a dance of silver against the backdrop of an impossible sky. Ornate numerals stand as guardians of the hour, each one a sculptor's whispered secret. Markers of minutes and hours stretch and contort, a canvas of numbers in fanciful distortion. Day bleeds into night with mechanical grace, indicators sweeping over the scene like the hands of a painter on a celestial easel. All is precision crafted, a symphony of hypothetical science and bygone elegance.

ENJOY!

Pixel art of forgotten depths, where the earth cradles remnants of a civilization once vibrant beneath the ancient Mayan ruins. In these dimly lit chambers, flickering torches cast a spectral glow, weaving a tapestry of light and shadow across walls inscribed with the wisdom of ages. No merchants call, no footsteps tread; the market lies abandoned, its legacy enshrouded in the damp, musty embrace of the underground. Silence reigns in the hallowed hollows, save for the quiet drip of time's relentless passage. Mystical artefacts stand as silent sentinels amongst the vestiges of rare spices, their scents long since melded into the eternal earthiness of this secluded sanctum. Shadows stretch and contort, a ghostly ballet across the inscriptions, a cryptic narrative forever etched into the stone. This is a marketplace paused, a breath held in the continuum, where the air itself seems imbued with ancient commerce.

Look at this beautiful lady! Saw her on my late afternoon walk, hanging out with all these babies on her back. Amazing stuff, first time I ever saw it in real life.

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE
Diary
2017 U.S. 2xLP Ltd. Ed. Reissue

A monster album for me when I was in high school.
Being a total devotee of all things Sub Pop in the , this one hit me in a way that none of the label’s other releases at the time.

I remember buying it on tape, & it taking me at least a week to get past the first 3 songs, because I kept rewinding it after Song For An Angel and playing those 3 over & over.

Amazing album that still holds up.

I randomly fallen into Amiga tracker music on Youtube last night and now I'm fascinated by this piece of early electronic music history. Ahoy's video on it was extremely informative not just about that, but also about the early origins of the Demo scenes, piracy and keygen scenes, early game development and music composing. Now I feel like I hit a huge cache of old electronic music that I can try to get into and enjoy.

And here I was thinking I was going to get into MIDI tunes because of Doom mods.

Knuckle Bash (1993)
By Toaplan
[Source: https://youtu.be/QJQOkgGLhxU]

Gif from "Knuckle Bash" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, side-scrolling beat-'em-up perspective). The two player-controlled characters (one, a ninja, the other, an Elvis impersonator) jump onto a football field to fight with several muscular football players. The football players charge at the two player characters, knocking them over.
Gif from "Knuckle Bash" (title screen, 2D pixel graphics). A torso of an extremely-muscular man is depicted flexing onscreen, while the words "Knuckle Bash" appear in stylized text over it. The screen then transitions to show several illustrations of pro wrestlers doing various wrestling moves.
Gif from "Knuckle Bash" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, side-scrolling beat-'em-up perspective). Two extremely-muscular men are seen facing off in what appears to be a boxing ring. At the bottom of the screen, the text "Push A button!!" appears below both characters. This operates as a bonus stage of sorts.

We're in Le Havre today, resting our feet in a craft ale bar (surprise!) after walking around for several hours with no firm plans. We've seen some very nice sights and great architecture but none nicer than the Église Saint-Joseph designed by the mentor of Le Corbusier, Auguste Perret. It is absolutely incredible and really difficult to describe, sorry.

ONCE AGAIN: companies DO NOT GIVE ONE FUCK & will treat the Things you love w/ disdain & zero respect. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS PROFIT and that means most will eventually fail, because their goals are not sustainable.

They don't want you to realize the lie of "buying" something digitally, which is: you don't REALLY own SHIT.

⭐ BUY PHYSICAL MEDIA IF U R ABLE, or be at the mercy of their capricious, greedy whims ⭐
