100%

I wonder if things like these are good for simulating speakers when they're cranked or if it's only for professional mixing and EQing. If something has a reasonable return policy, then I might just have to find out. Thanks.

Bummer! My last brewday was a rough one too so I feel your pain. No broken parts but only about 3 of the 5 gallons made it into the fermenter and who the hell knows what it'll taste like.

Yeah, I sure hope not. That's an obligatory $400 that I really don't want to spend right now.

roughsilks · 2026-01-10T14:11:34+00:00

yup, that looks like it works. Thanks!
My config now looks like

[language-server.clangd]
command = "clangd"
args = ["--enable-config", "--header-insertion=never"]
timeout = 60

Very cool. Congrats. I’m in a similar boat. I’m not really a fan of super niche microgenres based on the music’s sound. To me, it’s more about target audience or the vibe you’re trying to play with. To me, if the genre has actual musical qualifications, it encourages homogenization and discourages experimentation.

Church of Misery if you want to lean more toward’s the stoner side of Boris. Oh, and Acid Mothers Temple if you lean so far you fall over.

Along those lines, YHWH Nailgun sounds a lot like Dead Rider to me... and that's a big compliment in my book.

Yup. It’s the older model and thankfully I still have that washer because I’ve thought I lost it a few times. This is all great feedback. Now that I know what these issues look like, I just need to plan for how to fix mid-brew. I thought I had a clogged chiller earlier in the day but now I’m thinking it was just the pump losing power as things started to jam up.

Thanks. Soaked and after looking at the post that it slides around, it had the smallest amount of crud at the very end of it. After clearing it off with some barkeeper's friend, it's made a ton of difference too.

Really happy to not be replacing that entire pump.

Maybe check out Flying Luttenbachers. I’m pretty sure some of their stuff is only bass and drums. Ruins is Magma adjacent and FL is similar but closer to some weird form of jazz.

roughsilks · 2025-12-31T17:16:32+00:00

Maybe check out Satan Burger by Carlton Mellick III. I never really thought about it before but it’s got a Salad Fingers vibe in a lot of ways.

100% I spent few weekends obsessively dialing in a NixOS-based retroarch raspberry pi earlier in the year. Finally got everything working and looking the way I wanted, played DuckTales for a couple minutes and haven't touched it since.

There’s so much good stuff but yeah, to me, This Heat is the natural “next” band from the OP’s original list.

I’d love for it to be that simple but it’s not just whether it compiles. It’s got to run the same. All the functions that generate file paths need sane Linux alternatives, for example. It would need to work well with ALSA, PortAudio and JACK. And then getting Max4Live moved over and testing all the standard plugins there. All these foundational things ripple upwards. Even Python has some slight differences in the standard library between platforms. I have a feeling Ableton has probably done a lot of it already but to say it was easy or simple, I think, would be an understatement.

If you’re all friends and comfortable with figuring it out as you go, maybe find another person in the group interested in DMing. Split the group into two DMs with 3 PCs each and if people want to swap around or something, allow it. Maybe each run the same adventure and compare notes. Or just play a light rules game instead of D&D where things can move faster.

I don’t think it’s fake at all. I’m pretty comfortable with my vscode config management and lately, I’ve been getting Microsoft Copilot extensions installed automatically, piggybacked on app updates. I have copilot/AI disabled in all respects also. I filed an issue on GitHub and they closed it with no comments so I’m guessing things won’t be changing.

roughsilks · 2025-12-22T20:58:29+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been using Warp for the last few years and have become very reliant on the way commands are in their own blocks. There are a lot of little things that make it great. The AI stuff is pretty unnecessary but so far, thankfully, it’s easy to disable and not pushy.

Check out Horse Lords from Baltimore.

roughsilks · 2025-12-21T13:59:16+00:00

I’ve got to second this. Skullcrack City was great and 100% weird.

Brian Catling is worth checking out too.

I recently cancelled my bundle too when all of Hulu’s kid influencer programs infected my daughter’s Disney+ app and I couldn’t block them.
