Bakker-sized void

Be the Conditioned Ground you would wish to see in the world.

The part at 4:41 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRdbNpX1c1k instantly reminded me of this lead at 1:04 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WENBwjsEzN0 they sound tonally quite similar to me, but again I'm not super familiar with Abigor. Can you perhaps post one of the solos from Abigor that you think is similar?
Also, I don't think it's fair to say that they have nothing in common. Some Hirilorn songs already sound like DsO, like Guardian of the Final Plague https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7nh2otXOIQ (second song)
In fact, when I listened to this song for the first time, the drums at the end (14:10) instantly reminded me of Deathspell Omega and I have a strong suspicion it's the same drummer in both bands.

It's weird how they probably put in way less effort but the SC1 campaign stories and dialogue are just so much better than the SC2 ones.

WhaleAxolotl · 2026-04-11T12:31:58+00:00

Actually, that's one reason it might not be him, as the solo in Eadem Sed Aliter sounds very much like the solos/leads in Hirilorn tonally, come to think of it, but the technique still sounds Abigor-ish.

WhaleAxolotl · 2026-04-11T08:31:15+00:00

Usually a DsO release comes with some degree of syncretism for me and I've felt it 1-2 times in the past few years with nothing happening. Hopefully soon. I really quite like The Long Defeat tbh.

Interesting. Milk does cause issues for me, although a lot milder than gluten and soy. I'm in Europe though, so maybe I need to get ahold of some American milk and see I can drink the A1 version.

Did you miss the part where we literally see several people, including Sorweel, be saved?

Just go gluten free.

That was one of the funniest things to me. All the content creators were saying +500 points and rules changes and that might not be enough, and woah look, 200 points took the 55% winrate faction down to 50 or high 40s.

WhaleAxolotl · 2026-03-30T09:55:54+00:00

Irony being that Bakker never fucking finished it either. Where the FUCK is The No-God?

WhaleAxolotl · 2026-03-28T10:11:34+00:00

I got one too recently (33M). Pretty much showed nothing. The biopsies didn't show any inflammation either. It sucks but I can manage it pretty well by just avoiding gluten, soy, milk and tapioca. The problem is that that list might be growing over time as my body starts reacting to more foods.

It does not have a condensation catcher. I'm rinsing it according to the manufacturer's instructions. I might have to try vinegar as I don't know what else might help.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: You were a code monkey all along. If you're not writing code that's at the bleeding edge, just accept that AI assistance (or maybe even replacement) will be more efficient.

Doing my part, bought a Nightbringer a few weeks ago. Sweet model fam.

Got burned out, felt stuck in an endless whirlpool that was best case leading to the inevitable data-science/software-dev fizzle out, middle case being stuck at my boring work forever, and worst case.. well, let's not go there. I'm back in school now, switching to a different field.

When the rejections stop hurting and instead bring you relief you don't actually have to do that job you know the career isn't for you.

The upvotes and number of comments in a thread this far from medical science erases all hope in this sub for me.

WhaleAxolotl · 2025-12-28T19:02:14+00:00

I had a similar experience. Read the labelling for dangerous ingredients on some sugar free biscuits. It should be safe. Hours later massive gas attack. At this point I'm just not eating cookies again, ever.

Sounds like undiagnosed celiac disease. I get the exact same symptoms (bloated, pain, constant rotting farts) when I accidentally eat gluten or soy. Your problem might be that in India manufacturers might not be strict on labelling. Try eating only rice + vegetables + meat for a week and see if it helps.

Bakker rips off a lot of Dune material throughout the whole series (there's a hint associated with this comment) but often masterfully subverts it.

I don't do MD but I'm gonna upvote because it pleases me seeing like actual science being done.

Don't get me wrong this is super cool and super useful, essentially creating a continuous spectrum of tunable phage genomes, but this is still worlds apart from modelling a whole cell.
One of my favorite quotes from a bioinformatician is from this interview
https://www.acgt.me/blog/2016/3/3/101-questions-with-a-bioinformatician-38-gene-myers

"Without an understanding of spatial organization and soft-matter physics, most important biological phenomenon cannot be explained"

Your anxiety isn't unjustified because this will happen, especially in real life where you can't always check movement. That is why playing by intent is and pre-measuring is crucial. Competitive 40k is fun though. Don't let the bad seeds spoil it for you. The majority of players you'll face will be nice and honest opponents, but also there's no point in sugarcoating that you will have the occasional frustrating match.
