  • Yeah this is pretty forward on the Acid Bass, made famous by the TB-303. While that track doesn’t sound exactly like a 303, definitely reminiscent of it, and the 303 finds its way into a lot of industrial. This track is pretty cinematic, which fits it right into that “video game soundtrack” vibe that doesn’t exist much outside of games. I’m bored right now though, so I’m going to go down some rabbit holes and maybe find something for you to listen to. This type of music is right up my alley, so I might discover some new stuff to listen to myself.

    Edit: check this shit: Celldweller - Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head

    I think I might be moving in the wrong direction, but some of it is right.

    I think that’s the best I can do without getting into some pretty avant garde indie SoundCloud stuff.



  • Oohh oh oh… Check out “The Algorithm”

    I think that might be the closest to what you are looking for that I can think of. It’s a little metal on the drums, but it’s got way more synth lead stuff.

    While a bit different from what your asking for, you should also check out Master Boot Record - it’s a bit more chip tune metal. It’s fun though

    I think you were asking about the genre of music, and I don’t have an answer for you off the top of my head, but if you want to go on the journey of electronic music genres and sub genres and sub sub genres and learn about types of music and artists you might like, strap on your ear goggles and head on over to Ishkur’s guide to electronic music:https://music.ishkur.com/

    I have lost hours of my life there before.

    Edit: quick dive into Ishkur’s guide, and I think what you’re looking for is called “Aggrotech”





  • I am fully against drinking and driving, but there is definitely some bullshit out there like getting locked up for sleeping it off in your car. I’ve read plenty of stories about people getting arrested for merely approaching their car while drunk, and that shit gets me paranoid. I live in a place where I park on a busy street, and there have been times that I am having some drinks at home and I’m like “shit I gotta go get this thing from my car”. The fact that I can get arrested while going to get my backpack or whatever from my car because I have keys in my pocket and therefore have “intent to operate a vehicle under in influence” doesn’t sit well with me. Go find actual drunk drivers. I swear half the shit cops do is making up crimes because they can’t meet their quotas.




  • Yeah it’s so fucking backwards. I should be considered a patriot. I want Americans to have access to Healthcare and education. I want Americans to thrive and do great things. But no… Apparently the definition of patriotism over here is “I don’t care about other people, I only care about me, and also, kill brown people in other countries”




  • Putting your shopping cart up on the curb/grass at Costco.

    Look. I know about the shopping cart return litmus test for humanity. And in my experience, at the average supermarket or shopping center or whatever, it’s usually not too bad. There are a couple of shit stains out there that leave their cart in a parking spot or anywhere else not returned.

    But Costco? What the fuck is going on there? It’s like the wild-fucking-west. It’s lawless. I have seen people add to trains of carts stacked together in a parking spot. The curbs just have dozens of carts pushed up on them. It’s like some kind of broken window theory parking lot where normally decent people see the state of it and go “No order exists here, and I will treat it as such”

    Return your fucking cart. It takes like 40 seconds max.





  • To add on to what everybody else said, it’s probably not worth the time/money to have a team of developers play cat and mouse with pirates for the rest of time when they make the large majority of their sales off OEMs. Dell, HP, and Lenovo probably make up something like 80% of Windows license sales. And if it’s a business buying them, then they are also making money off of M365, Azure, and Intune subscriptions. Losing the sales from people who build their own PCs is chump change to them.

    You know, and all the data slurping and ad sales etc etc.


  • I think the idea is that adding boiling water to something made of plastic probably leaches chemicals.

    As far as Tupperware and coffee flasks go, yes. This is also a concern.

    There’s plenty more research to do about microplastics. I’m sure the plastic aeropress is still significantly better than using soft plastic disposable coffee pods. I’m not a scientist or doctor though so don’t take my word for it.
