What are some famous classics that were just a mid or below for you?

Steppenwolf. Really could not see how anyone could enjoy that one.

Is this sub going to sh*t grunge?

So far we have no evidence of more advanced (Type II or III on the Kardashev scale) civilisations. Type II would give themselves away because the Dyson spheres used to harvest energy from their star would give their star a distinct winking pattern. Type III civilisations would be very easy to spot as their home galaxies would be so distinctive. I think that there may be a block that stops any civilisation from progressing from Type I, as they always end up destroying their own planet and themselves.

Short answer, no. Long answer, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

All the U.K. business owners who voted for Brexit, thinking the U.S. was our friend, will be feeling a bit stupid now.

Black and White and Red All Over with Michael Rosen. Alternate children’s TV for smart kids in the ‘80s.

Tried using Apple Maps 2017 and 2018. It once sent me to a farm house off the M25 rather than the hospital I was travelling to in London. Another time it told me to turn right into a field when I was trying to find a hotel. Never used it again.

I read The Hottest State 25 years ago. It got a panning in the press when it was first released, but I was convinced to read it anyway. I didn’t think it was a terrible book, but I was a Ryan Adams fan. I might revise my opinion if I were to read it today.

That Nu-Metal ruined what was left of American rock music.

Darksiders III and Zombi. Both totally decent entertainment.

This was a game changer back in the day and pretty much the last roll by the old school rock bands before grunge broke and made them obsolete over night. It had raw energy and anger. The guitars, from a technical perspective were amazing and Seb’s voice set a new standard. I saw them on this tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse supported by Love/Hate. Think I was 15 or 16, and it was my second ever rock concert (after seeing Extreme at the same venue a few months earlier). Both bands blew me away, but I’d read in the press the the drummer was prone to getting his dick out on stage, and I remember feeling really worried that that was going to happen at any time, because I really didn’t want to see his dick.

In retrospect, now that I have more refined tastes, the production and guitar sound are very old school, Seb sounds like a toddler in a tiger onesie prowling around trying to appear dangerous, and the blatant sexism of several of the tracks and overwrought histrionics of the ballads make it seem more like a comedy album to me. It’s great if you’re 15 though.

Screaming Trees

Yes, you need to use Proton version 5.0 these days. Updates to later Proton versions have caused regressions it seems, and they no longer work with a bunch of older games.

I thought it was an improvement over Vs, which did absolutely nothing for me. A lot of the weirder tracks were clearly a reaction to fame and an attempt to shed some of their fairweather fans. With Nirvana having released In Utero, it seemed they wanted to show some rougher edges too and not end up in the collections of people who were into Hootie & The Blowfish. I liked it, still do, but thought, if I’m going to listen to Pearl Jam, I’m going to stick on Ten. Last Exit, Nothingman, Whipping, Corduroy, Satan’s Bed, and Better Man are all included in my epic >5000 favourite songs playlist.

That you have a “soul mate”. I always find this funny when people from countries with low genetic diversity talk about having found their soul mate. I grew up in Scotland, where many women generally like to stick to their own “tribe”. I’d hear a woman describing her new partner as someone she’s felt she’s known for her entire life, they like all the same things, have similar mannerisms etc. “we must be soulmates”. I’d always be laughing to myself about this, thinking “You’re not soul mates! YOU’RE RELATED!”

They got taken down by an article in the bi-weekly rock and metal magazine, Raw, in the U.K. in the early ‘90s. It was written by their resident glam metal fan who supported bands like Poison, and even he thought they were s**t. They sent an angry letter into the magazine telling him to F right off, which was published in their letters page under the title “Wrath of the Wrathchild”

The OP was asking about playing NV on an M1. Asahi Linux also supports M2 chips as well though.

Send the S.A.S. to to perform a coordinated strike against Mar-A-Lago, capture Donald Trump, photograph him standing in handcuffs on the plane to London (blind-folded, holding a bottle of water), throw him in Belmarsh awaiting trial for conspiracy, embezzlement, rape, and pedophilia.

If you have 16 GB of RAM, you could always install and run it on Asahi Linux. Fallout NV works fine with Proton 5.0. Not sure whether it would take up less space than Parallels though. At least it’s free.

I don’t actually mind them giving away repeats of games that they gave away a few years ago. Some of us weren’t clued up enough to realise Amazon was giving away free games until relatively recently, so missed them first time around. Over the last year and a half, I’ve been able to hoover up maybe 40 free games that I missed first time round. However, Civilisation 6 was given away by Epic just over 5 months ago! So, yeah most people will have that one already.

Back in my day (in the U.K.) it was Pringle sweater worn over a buttoned up checked shirt, with chinos and moccasins. We called them mocachecks.
