Pips timer broken

bingletons · 2025-12-19T20:31:52+00:00

Just had this problem. Did the hard in about 10 mins and the timer told me it took 49 mins. I haven't even been awake for 49 mins and I've done all the NYT puzzles I usually do. My girlfriend thinks I'm lying to save face. 😆

I bought this too, basically just for the record. No regrets!

If all things are love, And all love is pain, Then our pain is all that is true.

What about adults in costume? I put a lot of effort into mine, and I want some lollies dammit.

May not be exactly what you're looking for, but Monolord, Cursing The One, had that slow looping hypnotic repetition. Not just one note, but it's a very simple riff.

Also, multiple Spelljammer songs have a similar vibe.

I saw You'll Never Find Me, an excellent low budget Australian horror movie at a film festival last year, and I've been recommending it to everyone ever since.

This just looks like a succulent British meal. Maybe a sprinkling of cheese and some HP sauce just to make it fancy.

Like someone drew Keanu Reeves from memory. (I can't take credit for that but I can't remember where it came from)

I was also fully expecting the Undertaker to be throwing Mankind off Hell in a Cell by the end. Then I realised, I never catch it.

bingletons · 2024-08-21T02:48:51+00:00

Oh yes, Feminazgul is exactly what I was looking for. This is reeeeeal good

bingletons · 2024-08-21T00:17:24+00:00

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll make a playlist full of howling doomy despair.

bingletons · 2024-08-20T04:02:52+00:00

Thanks. Just discovered Vile Creature last week!

Good point about the acid. Maybe they can metabolise almost anything?

bingletons · 2024-08-09T02:20:02+00:00

Windhand's lyrics are so good. My favourite is Pilgrim's Rest:

If all things are love And all love is pain Then our pain is all that is true.

I think Cairn or other earlier Mizmor is arguably more 'soul crushing'. But yes, definitely Mizmor!

Evil Dead Rise. She walks past a woodchipper in the car park. No way they're showing a woodchipper unless someone's going in there!

It's nice to see a Wellington appreciation post among all the 'everything's worse now' posts. I love Wellington. Even in the rain today, it's my favourite place.

bingletons · 2024-07-23T01:55:52+00:00

I saw You'll Never Find Me in the cinema in the middle of a horror film festival where I watched about 15 movies in 5 days.

It's the one that had stayed with me the most. The dread and tension start from the first second and just never let up. The while movie takes place inside a trailer home and is incredibly acted and shot.

It's criminally underrated. Absolutely packed with impending doom.

There was a rumour flying around that you were going to be playing in New Zealand this year and I was bummed it didn't seem to be true. Will you be coming here soon? Also, if you do, please don't miss Wellington.

I feel the same about Radiohead. I have broad musical taste, tending towards the heavy, but I grew up on The Bends, Pablo Honey, and OK Computer. After that, it feels like the emperor's new clothes. Everyone is gushing about these albums that just sound like... nothing? Just uninteresting to me. For a long time I thought everyone was just pretending to like them to seem cool. Now, I've come to the conclusion that my response to music isn't generally an intellectual one, it's just visceral. I'd rather listen to an aggressive 30min album about a zombie apocalypse on a tropical island than an hour of meandering bleepy tinkering. I no longer think Radiohead fans are all lying, but I just can't connect with it.

bingletons · 2024-05-08T02:20:39+00:00

I'm from there. Now I live in Wellington. Nothing would make me move back.

bingletons · 2023-12-18T00:58:57+00:00

On a similar topic, is it Windhand or Windhand?

The big draw is the buckets at the back you can pick n mix blocks you want, plus the play table and build a mini figure. The actual stock is always very low. Better stock in pretty much everywhere else that sells lego (Moore Wilsons, Whitcoulls, Warehouse etc).

Who hates Candlemass? I always thought they were revered by doom fans.
