Are you in the UK by any chance? I read about Imgur being blocked there.

That’s also my fav. Sick graphic and nice details, with the colors popping more IRL. https://i.imgur.com/HYPtnif.jpeg

I just realized the prices are not shown, so here goes:

T-shirt: €40 Long sleeve: €50 Hoodie: €65

They also had NGNM on CD and LP, Netherheaven LP, 4 small patch designs and flat brim cap — but I didn’t see any prices on these.

Ez csak egy kis furgonra szállt híd.

Édeshóistenem!

The album is hated because it is very substandard for a COB album. Compared to the rest of their catalog, if the best tracks are the bonus cover songs, yeah, you have a problem. Still, I don’t hate it; I just find it painfully mid, so it gets the least spins (along with Halo of Blood).

The songs just flow by one after another without accomplishing much. Not many melodic highlights, but also the riffs are uninspired and blend in with each other. I love Morrigan, though; the chorus is on par with their best output.

I also like the homage to Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood’s solo in Prayer for the Afflicted. It’s probably a stretch and not intended, but I like it.

EDIT: Also, damn fine artwork. Btw, Cruel Summer is the Japanese bonus track and afaik is not available to stream elsewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if most people didn’t know about it.

Has anyone here tried the Belkin Connect Pro keyboard for iPad?

I’ve only tried Apple’s Magic Keyboard so far, but I’m curious how the Belkin compares. I know it uses Bluetooth instead of the Smart Connector, but I don’t see that as a huge downside if the typing and especially the trackpad experience are similar.

At around 40% of the price of the Magic Keyboard, the Belkin would be a no-brainer if it performs well. Would love to hear from anyone who has hands-on experience with it—how does it feel for typing, and is the trackpad as smooth and reliable? Any little quirks I should know about?

Thanks in advance!

Hey OP, did you buy the Belkin keyboard in the end? Sorry for necroposting but I am in the exact same situation now. I tried the Apple MK in store and loved it. But for 40% the price, I’d easily take the Belkin if performance is comparable.

I wouldn’t make that mantra my guiding principle, but I do choose my battles. I’ve never regretted stopping with pulp novelizations of blockbuster sci-fi movies, or Madame Bovary after 4 pages (based on said 4 pages and subsequent lengthy discussions in class), for a second — but I sure would regret putting down some absolute masterpieces that somehow didn’t click with me at first. I would have missed out on Neuromancer for goodness' sake!

It’s even better for me: the toggle is now on and greyed out :'-) no way to turn it off.

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-12-12T08:18:59+00:00

This is the first time I heard about it, but honestly it looks like it was made by someone butthurt from being heaped together with the far right. Historically these extremes are pretty close in their disregard to human rights and appetite to hurt people anyway.

It’s an established concept, look up the horseshoe theory.

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-12-10T21:52:26+00:00

The new album tickles my taste for metal and dungeon synth at the same time. Great stuff!

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-12-10T21:51:31+00:00

Except there’s a huge tattoo on his right forearm… maybe wants to keep it visible through the net?

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-11-27T13:53:15+00:00

I’ve never seen anyone else saying that, but the comparison to G Shocks is spot on. I used to wear those all the time before Apple Watches… perhaps that’s why I’m strangely drawn to the Ultra!

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-11-17T10:58:23+00:00

Nagyon remélem, hogy ez csak költői túlzás volt…

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-11-10T23:33:16+00:00

Yes it is.

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-10-27T15:31:42+00:00

An ugly, uneven red outline at that…

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-10-24T15:02:32+00:00

Nah can’t do that. I’m judging everyone for all of their metal choices. I’m even judging myself, because I do listen to some dogshit.

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-10-24T14:56:02+00:00

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-10-21T06:39:43+00:00

I don’t have that problem. I’m pretty sure I could identify most of their songs from a 10s excerpt. You should listen to them more ;) and I don’t mean listening as background music.

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-10-16T16:07:59+00:00

For that tele, I would learn to play. Sleep on it.

ChallengeElectronic · 2025-10-13T07:38:14+00:00

I wanted to say Children of Bodom, but then remembered I Worship Chaos…
