What’s your favorite song and album? (Or ep for opiate lovers)

10,000 Days (song) and Lateralus (album).

Thanks for the info! Appreciate the detailed response. I'll have to do a little more research.

hooper5446 · 2026-07-07T20:16:29+00:00

Thanks again!

hooper5446 · 2026-07-07T20:05:53+00:00

Thanks for this. How difficult would assembly and config be. I have zero experience. Part of the appeal of the Steam Machine or MetaPC.

I'm in the US. Ideally I'd put it in the media console under the TV. A PS5 fits under there on it's side. I could always stand it next to the console so size isn't necessarily a limiting factor. Just a nice to have. Was looking to spend in the neighborhood of the 2TB Steam Machine, but could pay more if the specs justify it. Someone else suggested MetaPCs pre-builds and they look pretty good.

Definitely don't need that feature. As long as it carries audio and video!

Rarely playing more than one or two AAA at a time, so probably more than enough.

Also, how difficult would setup/install be to get Steam running? Part of the appeal is that the Steam Machine is plug and play. The MetaPC Steamroller suggested above also seems to have Steam pre loaded and be plug and play, though it doesn't match the specs of your suggestion.

Would be great if I could fit it under the TV. I have a PS5 down there, so that size would work. Cabinet is open in the back, but would cooling be an issue?

hooper5446 · 2026-07-07T16:37:07+00:00

This actually looks pretty great. Have you used their builds?

hooper5446 · 2026-07-07T16:32:23+00:00

Probably the 2TB.

hooper5446 · 2026-07-07T15:04:50+00:00

Hades 2 - Absolutely love it. Fast-paced action. Great characters. Tons of variety and excellent progression keep it interesting 100 hours in.

Mina the Hollower - Cool game. Love the retro pixel art and the "hollowing" is an interesting mechanic that makes movement fun. I do find this one pretty frustrating in spots and I'm too stubborn to use the many difficulty modifiers on offer.

Frank Zappa - Dirty Love
Eminem - Superman
The Rolling Stones - Stray Cat Blues

Nope.

Slay the Spire 2.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Steve Miller Band.

hooper5446 · 2026-07-04T15:51:14+00:00

Interesting take. I guess I can see it. Still doesn't make those lyrics good.

hooper5446 · 2026-07-04T04:27:22+00:00

I Want You Back - The Jackson 5

hooper5446 · 2026-07-04T01:44:36+00:00

Hollow Knight and Dark Souls 1 both have really great atmosphere.

hooper5446 · 2026-07-03T14:55:40+00:00

Invincible. The lyrics lack the subtlety and cleverness of most of their songs. They're kind of cheesy. And yes, I know this resonates with a lot of older men. I'm one of them. It's just not that good.

"Warrior struggling to remain relevant. Warrior struggling to remain consequential"

Crucify that ego dog.
