  • Beauty is Within Us by Scott Matthew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LKBoFra5YA

    I’m cheating a little bit, because this song is tied to the second episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. It’s a standalone story, by the way, so if you want context, you don’t have to watch the whole show, just that episode. The episode’s title is Runaway Evidence - Testation, for those curious.

    But anyway, slight spoilers for that episode: it’s about a man with medical issues that could easily be solved, but his parents won’t let him take the medical procedure that would alleviate those problems due to their religious beliefs, so he lives life in anguish. If you just listen to the chorus, it might seem like a beautiful, feel-good song, but it’s so, so far from that. Just… read the lyrics.





  • Automation games are usually my jam, but I bounced off Factorio pretty quickly. The automation part I got really into. I wanted to keep things as efficient as possible, but then I kept being interrupted by fauna attacks and I kinda hated the disruption. It didn’t help that various defense systems like turrets and the like needed their own supply chain for ammo, so I had to drop everything, start working on that, monsters started attacking my base on another location, rinse, repeat. You get the idea.

    I am aware you can turn off the attacking fauna, but that feels like turning off an integral part of the game, so I dunno.

    My brother is currently way, WAY into it, though, so I might give it another shake in the future.


  • Or are you just observing and enjoy your peace of mind because you switched already to Linux before?

    Yes, that. As far as my circle of friends and acquaintances who are running Win10 are concerned, I’ve made the effort to advise them to switch to something newer for security reasons. They will probably switch to Windows 11, but that is their concern.
