  • napster, kazaa, limewire, audiogalaxy are the big ones I remember in the pre-torrent era

    hell I remember there were PCs at some kiosk at the mall that random folks had installed Napster on and a bunch of random folks had downloaded random stuff on.

    I burned so many audio CDs. Even if it was just to add one single new song, since one song could take like an bour or so to download before we got broadband.

    When mp3 cd players became a thing, that was a magical time. Before iPods and before the Creative Nomad, WAY cheaper, and some could even read CD-RWs.

    I even sold a few mix CDs, with nicely formatted printouts for the slim jewel cases.

    What an era.






  • Wolfenstein games have all been pretty solid. Youngblood wasn’t the best but I still got plenty of enjoyment from it.

    Metal Gear is Metal Gear.

    Twin Peaks’ perfect third season earns it a spot in my list too.

    Space Station 14, while only being around five or six years, is still a continuation of Space Station 13 which has decades of culture and development built into it

    Maybe a bit of a stretch but the Porsche 911 seems like a solid car for its whole lifetime, even if the modern ones are too big and heavy it’s cool they’re still rear engine








  • Oh wow I had forgotten all about True Detective. That was the one with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in Louisiana with all the cult symbols and shit? I barely remember it but I do remember really enjoying it.

    In any case, absolutely yes, but I would caution against jumping into season 3 of Twin Peaks without any context. it’s really vital to watch at least most of the first two seasons, and for bonus points also watch the movie Fire Walk With Me. But if you don’t wanna go through all that and wanna just inject the Lynchian surrealism directly into your bloodstream, dive in with episode 8 from the third season, it’s an absolute masterpiece of surrealism.
