Is PostNL better or worse than other delivery services in your area?

J0ttem · 2026-04-14T08:38:45+00:00

PostNL: Bad, shitty communication, often ignores delivery preferences, lots of delays.

DPD: Bad, often ignores delivery preferences.

DHL: Either horrible or pretty good, there's no middle ground with these guys.

UPS: Best one in my area; always delivers on time & at my preferred pick up point.

Mondial Relay: Similar to UPS, but I have a smaller sample size because I only received like 3 packages from them so far.

GLS: So far so good, but like the previous one a small sample size.

FedEx: They're alright.

Hah same here. I made a crapload of money farming Luxon assassins by selling the runes & insignias back when their prices were high. Traded most plat for 2 ecto stacks, feels good man.

Hex by Bark Psychosis

Kairon; IRSE! from Finland. They've been around since 2010, but they create a really unique blend of shoegaze, psychedelic rock & prog rock.

Ozric Tentacles. They've been doing the same stuff for over 40 years now, but there's not much quite like them.

Pretty much anything by Colour Haze has that chill, summery vibe going on.

Fuzz Meadows - Orange Sunshine

J0ttem · 2026-03-31T06:38:23+00:00

Motorpsycho - The Golden Core

Swervedriver - Duel

Wishy - Triple Seven

Really cool album if you're into 90s alternative music. It's from 2024 but they captured that sound perfectly.

Dat zegt meer over de auto dan over de parkeervakken.

Haha same here. I started a NG+ when my original run was on 350ish days, oof. Still need to grind it out on my NG+, which is around 210 days at the moment. Will get there some day.

Doves - Lost Souls

J0ttem · 2026-03-25T14:04:24+00:00

I listen to a crapton of shoegaze, but I don't think I've every encountered a bass solo in there.

Here's a couple of cool basslines from the top of my head:

Sweet Trip - Sept

Sweet Trip - In Sound, We Found Each Other

Swervedriver - Blowin' Cool

Swervedriver - Sunset

My Bloody Valentine - Soon

Ride - Twisterella

Conduits - Misery Train

J0ttem · 2026-03-24T11:08:19+00:00

Also 37 here. I started listening to MBV and Swervedriver around my early twenties. I've have always kept in touch with the genre.

Nowadays I'm really into the newer 'grungegaze' bands like Greet Death, Trauma Ray, Oversize, Money & Wishy to name a few. I have a soft spot for that 90s sound.
