I'm using a Thrustmaster Eswap X Pro. The joystick and dpad modules are hot swappable and can be put in any orientation you prefer. They sell replacement joystick modules for $20, which is nice because you don't have to replace the whole controller if one gets stick drift.

Sounds better than my current setup. I have Swiss on a SD card plugged in with a memory card adapter, my roms on a micro SD card in the serial port using an SD2SP2. To boot into Swiss I have to use an Action Replay disc. It works but it's a pain.

I watched the whole video trying to keep an open mind, but what they showed off just looks so generic. Quick time events, very basic looking fps mechanics, flight looks like War Thunder arcade battles. At least the gfx and animations looked pretty cool, although imo this is the least important factor of a good video game. Will probably be a skip for me, if it ever releases that is.

Personal Thoughts

Unfortunately I didn't really like Nothing Happens, I found the lyrics a bit boring and did not think the instrumental content stood on it's own. Don't get me wrong, it certainly wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard, there were a couple songs I did enjoy, and I'm not calling the rest bad, just not for me. My favorite track was Remember When, I also liked Are You Bored Yet.

Personal Thoughts

I discovered Figure and Dungeon Of Doom while looking for some October themed electronic music today. It was released yesterday (October 13th 2023). It's a bit bassier than what I listen to at home these days but I liked it and think it would be killer to see live. My favorite track on the EP was Be Afraid, Death Toll was really good, too.

Personal Thoughts

Sofa Kings is my favorite in a while. A bit poppier and more upbeat than my usual listening but I loved it. I discovered Royel Otis when Sofa King came on while I was listening to Pandora, that song ended up being my favorite on the EP.

I found The Lagoons on Pandora when their song California played. I liked the song so I decided to check out Gems EP. When I saw the Play That Funky Music cover I kinda rolled my eyes but it wasn't bad honestly lol. Aside from the cover the EP is four chill, lovey tracks that I enjoyed listening to this morning. My favorite track was California, I also really liked Gems.

Glad to finally see translation without the need for an extension. I need to translate pages semi regularly but I try not to install many extensions to avoid fingerprinting.

Fun Facts

Kill 'Em All was originally intended to be titled Metal Up Your Ass, with cover art featuring a hand clutching a dagger emerging from a toilet bowl. The band was later steered away from this.

Personal Thoughts

Kill 'Em All was recommended to me by a buddy in our weekly exchange. My mom listened to Metallica a lot when I was growing up so I'm quite familiar with the band but had never done a proper listen of the album. It was alright, not what I would normally put on for myself but not bad either. My favorite track was Seek And Destroy.

If I owned an EV I would be too worried about battery degradation caused by the extra charge cycles to participate in anything like this.

  • Highway Star
  • Child In Time
  • Smoke On The Water
  • The Mule
  • Strange Kind Of Woman

  • Space Truckin

Runtime - ≈ 1 Hour 16 Minutes

Fun Facts

Deep Purple originally didn't want to release Made In Japan commercially as they believed it would be impossible to reproduce the quality and experience of their stage act on an LP. This created a strong demand for bootlegs which led to a court case and later the official release of the album.

Personal Thoughts

Made In Japan was recommended to me by a buddy in our weekly exchange. I thought this album was great, the long instrumental solos are fantastic, I love this era of rock for this. Live music has definitely been growing on me lately, especially when properly recorded. My favorite track on the album was Smoke On The Water.

Personal Thoughts

This was the second album recommended to me by the guy who recommended Hot Rats in our weekly exchange. I really liked this one, it would be a great listen on any relaxing day or solo drive. I found the dreary, mystical vibe created by the synthesizer and the reverberation of the lyrics to be quite enjoyable. My favorite track was Cop Killer.

I hope most developers stay away from Denuvo on Switch. Devs already have to squeeze the thing for every fps they can get out of it, it really doesn't need anything else bogging it down.

[1969] Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

Artist Info:

Album Info:

Track List

  • Peaches En Regalia
  • Willie The Pimp
  • Son of Mr. Green Genes
  • Little Umbrellas
  • The Gumbo Variations
  • It Must Be A Camel

Run Time - ≈ 47 Minutes 13 Seconds

Cover Photo

Fun Facts

Shuggie Otis, a bassist on the album, was only 15 years old at the time of recording.

Hot Rats was the first Frank Zappa album recorded on 16-track equipment and one of the first albums to use this technology. It was recorded on what Zappa described as a "homemade sixteen track" recorder. The machine was custom built by engineers at TTG Studios.

Personal Thoughts

I had heard Peaches En Regalia before, an old co-worker recommened I listen to it years ago and I have loved it since. A friend and I have started giving each other an album to listen to each week, and this was the first one he gave me. I really enjoyed the rest of it, though Peaches En Regalia is definitely my favorite track. Willie The Pimp I really enjoyed, too. I have started going through the unedited master takes released on The Hot Rats Sessions in 2019 and they're very interesting, Willie The Pimp's is fantastic.

[-] MutatedBass@beehaw.org 7 points 11 months ago

I would not be in favor of this personally. The thing is, a lot of music doesn't fall into a cookie-cutter genre. I wouldn't like the idea of people restraining from posting because they don't know how to classify a piece. Now if it was more of a suggestion I think that would be fine.

Wow! A port of a 13 year old game will soon run on 10 year old hardware? Keep on innovating R*!
