I apparently put this on my kobo wishlist at some point and I've added it to my notes file on my phones about books I want to read b/c my kobo wishlist is a bit... overwhelming. Here is what I have read so far this year: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss Agents of Dreamland; Black Helicopters; The Tindalos Asset by Caitlin R Kiernan Firestarter by Stephen King A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers Shovel Ready; Near Enemy by Adam Sternbergh Halting State; Rule 34 by Charles Stross The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet; A Closed and Common Orbit; Record of a Spaceborn Few; The Galaxy and The Ground Within by Becky Chambers The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley Next up is probably the Worldbreaker Saga by Kameron Hurley

Have played a lot over the last little while: The Last of Us 2 NHL 21 Assassin's Creed Valhalla Control (again) Outer Wilds Carrion Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Resident Evil 3 Remake Currently playing Persona 5 Royal. Anxiously awaiting Resident Evil Village and Mass Effect Legendary (and I booked their release weeks off! not purposely for that reason but I'm not complaining)

Myself and Finboy84 did parts of... basically all of BM for the tenth anniversary of that album (and completed a few too!) but those are trapped on my years dead Macbook. And had no vocals lol

Reading Harrow the Ninth, book 2 in the as yet incomplete Locked Tomb trilogy by Tamsyn Muir and oh my lord this book is just *chefs kiss*

Last show was really fun! It was cool to have Dan Mangan (who is a big MG fan apparently!) hosting and asking questions and bantering with Matt, and they did a lot of cool interactive stuff with the audience, and the audio was really clear.

This one hurts. Beautiful Midnight and Audio of Being are 2 of my favourite and probably the two most important records of my life. They're a huge part of why I wanted to play music and Rich is a big reason about why I wanted to play bass. My life would be so much different without his influence in it.

Network Effect by Martha Wells. I love Murderbot so much.

Never finished FF7 remake what with the awful neighbours making it hard to do anything fun at my last place, so I'll have to come back to that one now that I've moved and I'm in a much better situation and can pay more attention to it. In the meantime, started playing The Last of Us so I can remember what happened so I can play the TLOU2.

Nope, this is me being a dummy and making a typo in the topic, which is now fixed!

Hosted by Dan Mangan and with a Q&A! Tickets are 20 bucks: https://sidedooraccess.com/shows/Jot1rfa1Y0s6lZbzfmV8

I finished RE3 Remake once a couple weekends back! It was a nice update to one of my favourite games! I played the original I don't know how many times - it was one of the few games I owned on PS1 during high school so I was basically speedrunning it. I caved and got Final Fantasy 7 Remake and I'm really enjoying it. Combat is great, the characters are fun and I actually kind of understand what's going on! And the updated soundtrack is just phenomenal.

I have not spent the weekend playing the Resident Evil 3 remake because I have been spending the weekend playing Golf Story for Switch. Golf Story is really good.

I played the demo and enjoyed it! I don't really have any nostalgia for FF7 (I've played through it completely once about 10 years ago, which was probably my fourth or fifth attempt at it over the years) but I do like the universe and characters so I'm interested in seeing the new take on it, but I'm also willing to put it off a bit. Resident Evil 3 Remake on the other hand, I'm spending launch weekend playing the hell out of that.

Works a-okay now, no error messages.

As of today I am not able to reply to forum posts using Chrome (latest version) on my desktop. Chrome on my phone works fine, Firefox works fine on my desktop. If I click the pink reply button or click the "reply to this topic here" box at the bottom of a thread, it just disappears and only shows the attachments box.

I am back into the Binding of Isaac. Considering getting a switch for Animal Crossing purposes.

I just checked the liner notes and it's Pete Yorn on VNA.

I listened to the LIMBLIFTER album I/O for the first time in a while today, and totally forgot Matt does some vocals on the song "Alarm Bells"!

This song made it onto Ryan's solo album Irrational Anthems. It's a bit different from the demo and doesn't feature Matt's vocals, but Matt has a writing credit on it. Ryan has a writing credit on The Devil's In Your Details and played guitar on that song as well as Oh Be Joyful from what I remember. Here's the version from Ryan's album:

I will be there as well! Looking forward to this one for sure! Their Pacific Milk show at the Biltmore was a lot of fun.

Hey everyone! I made a Spotify playlist of my favourite songs of 2019 and figured I would share it with everyone.
