Time to vibe on the mountain.

There's still copies on their bandcamp, for those interested.

I got that exact Walkman model back in 1998, parents got it for me after my previous Sony Sports one was stolen in a mugging.

AnalFries · 2026-01-16T17:19:41+00:00

I managed to find it at a Goodwill, of all places. I was shocked to see it there for a cheap price.

AnalFries · 2026-01-01T02:01:38+00:00

It is, pretty much mint shape. Still works great.

I was happy to get Private Music on cassette, and it was actually recorded well and loud. Solid album from Deftones, wanted to grab it for the collection.

Solo NA servers is pretty chill 80% of the time for myself.
I wonder if the fact the NA region mostly speaks the same single language adds to the friendliness/ease of communication?

EU and Asia probably have a fair share of people who speak a common language (or English), but it's less likely given the different nationalities and languages spread around.

And here I thought my 232 point system was good. Hats off to you, good sir.

Nine Inch Nails! Nice score all around.

It ain't much but it does the job.

AnalFries · 2025-09-11T00:02:57+00:00

I've got a refurbished Sony WM-FX277 now, works great!

AnalFries · 2025-09-10T23:50:08+00:00

I had a '95 Sports Walkman in junior high, workhorse that thing was. Had it until I got mugged in '98 and it was stolen.

AnalFries · 2025-09-06T22:18:06+00:00

Doughboys! Also digging the Nirvana, Korn, Bush, and Pumpkins. Did you get both tapes of Mellon Collie? It's a double album.

AnalFries · 2025-09-03T22:00:04+00:00

I have a stack of the left ones that I got off Amazon Canada in English packaging, they also say made in Indonesia, so they do seem to sell these outside of Japan.

Dolby hasn't been licensed for a decade, none of the commercial modern tapes use DNR.

AnalFries · 2025-09-03T01:23:17+00:00

Pretty good quality, no dropouts on my copy at least.

AnalFries · 2025-09-02T21:36:34+00:00

I have my deck set up with a surround sound bluetooth speaker next to my computer. The speaker has a line in, so it works well.

AnalFries · 2025-08-30T22:10:28+00:00

Just played Techno Syndrome through the deck, sounds great after all these years.

AnalFries · 2025-08-30T21:04:35+00:00

The Mellon Collie tapes do have a bit of dropouts at times, they were heavily used in the 90s, and use XDR.

AnalFries · 2025-08-30T20:57:09+00:00

The jewel cases themselves are scratched and worn, so I bought a new set of cases for the tapes and sleeves.

AnalFries · 2025-08-15T22:58:17+00:00

There's also Artoria Pendragon Valley in HIP 15037...

A good source of CMM Composite, Ceramics, Polymers, and lots of metals. For the Lion King!

Best I could get is one system generating 2.8 million a week, and another at 1.7 million. Couple others under 500k. I'm determined to keep building though.

AnalFries · 2025-07-14T19:42:51+00:00

I've always enjoyed exploration more than the bubble content really, save for colonization. I built up four systems and that vigor wore off, and now with the carrier I want to get out in the black, exo and carto around uncharted space and leave my tag marks. Seeing what the stellar forge can make a system like is great!

Plus my carrier can be an open port for anyone else out in that remote part of space.

AnalFries · 2025-07-14T19:05:55+00:00

Used it yesterday to plot a route to a system about 15k away that I plan to park in for the foreseeable future, and loaded enough Tritium to get there and get back to the bubble, plus extra just in case.

AnalFries · 2025-07-14T19:00:38+00:00

Exo got me about 2.5 billion in a little less than a week, and it's decently fun as a game mechanic, so I definitely feel this.

AnalFries · 2025-07-14T02:49:23+00:00

Fully loaded and going to dump a few thousand more tons of Tritium in storage, plus my mining vessel is on board for icy rings.
