They are! Some of them even have good music (ouch, self jab). A lot of them fall squarely in the realm of non metalheads saying "this isn't music/this is just noise", a few of them are small scale bands, and a few of them are really iconic bands.

3 inches of Blood is very much the outlier genre-wise, it's power metal about DnD stuff.

Side effects may include:

Ask your doctor if Abilify is right for you. (Side note, fuck Abilify. It's the worst med I've ever taken by a huge margin)

Lyrics:

My thought is convergent evolution to a humanoid form from a mouse is weirder than a human obtaining mouse like features (naturally or otherwise).

Weirdest thing is that those mouse ears have no protection from the cold. Definitely don't wanna get frostbite.

Powerful eldritch knowledge tends to come at a terrible price.

And thank you for accepting this curse in stride.

But seriously, thanks. I put a good amount of effort into it despite not wanting to, and I had fun with it cause I love the whole premise of nonsense stuff being portrayed as if it's scary.

Yeah, that was me after writing it too.

Also thank you. I wanted to write something that sold the spooky atmosphere just a bit with the whole tension build up thing that horror does, but also just have it be really mundane and not scary once the whole thing is read through.

Heavily inspired from this comment from a few months back (warning: the writing gets gory), which has a similar "nonsense horror" thing: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/29305756/13960415

I woke up that night from a tree branch out outside scraping against my window. Seemed like a storm was rolling in from the coast. I could just barely smell salt or something on the wind, it was humid and warmer than usual for January too.

I peeked my head out the front door to look at the sky. Full moon out, bright yellow, but obscured by some clouds. I went back inside to make a snack, now too awake to go back to bed. Popped a piece of bread in the toaster and watched idly as the coils glowed orange and hot like a campfire. I could still smell something in the air, thick and heavy. It was like I was in another world for a bit feeling the warmth of my toaster.

The pop of metal springs snapped me back to reality, my toast was ready. Perfectly crispy bread, no need for anything else. I wasn't even hungry really, I just wanted something to occupy myself. I took my toast outside to sit on my porch and enjoy the weather before it got cold and rainy again. The wind was gone and a thick fog had poured into the valley like some kind of soup. The smell had gotten stronger as well, falling squarely between delightful and sickening. How long had it been since I came out here? Only a minute or so, I thought. The whole night felt surreal.

Sitting on my porch, pristine toast in my mouth, I saw a dark silhouette in the distance and I could feel my stomach drop. My unease shifted to horror as the figure move into the light of a street lamp. A man holding a steaming cauldron filled with truly unspeakable horrors, too filling for anyone to endure. I knew now that I had never woken up on this night, nor was I in a dream.

I was in a nightmare that I could not escape, no matter how I tried. Like Sisyphus was doomed to eternally push a boulder up a mountain despite it inevitably rolling back down, I too was doomed. The fate of my toast had been sealed the moment I made it, cursed to be ruined by that infernal fondue pot. I saw the person holding it clearly in that moment. The person I believed to only exist in stories:

Cheddy Blueger.

Addendum: I have no fucking clue why my brain thought this was worth writing, and honestly I tried to stop myself, but here we are. All for a dumb name pun. Thanks a lot brain.

Any quirks that nobara might have for someone looking to switch from windows to linux on a gaming pc (tower, not laptop)?

Some (possibly) relevant system specs:

• Intel i5 9600k

• RTX 2060

• Two monitors (adaptive/G sync on my main).

I've heard that multiple monitors and/or adaptive sync has some issues on some distros which is my main reason for asking.

And a more tangential thought:

I've also heard that Windows installs tend to fuck with linux installs. Is this the case when they're on different drives? I kinda wanna just try different distros on a spare sata ssd, but my windows install is on my NVME which has a heat sync plate screwed over it, and I don't wanna go through the hassle of pulling it out if it won't make a difference.

Question: what kind of impact would this really have on the battery life of a standard laptop?

The article is suggesting it uses about 2-3 watts less power than older models, but that sounds like very little. Would this have any effect on the lifespan of the hard drive also? Are there other significant factors (like heat) that make this a noteworthy improvement?

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate seeing computer parts trying to go for power efficiency and frankly I wish more companies would (namely GPU manufacturers), but a hard drive just seems like an odd choice to strive for low power draw at the cost of read/write speed.

Hoo boy if you want a janky as fuck space game that's also insanely fun, check out Empyrion: Galactic survival (Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/383120/Empyrion__Galactic_Survival/). Specifically, Reforged Eden, which is a full overhaul mod of Empyrion. Shoutout to HWS, the public PvE server I played on.

Explore planets, kill aliens, do some mining, build a base/production site, build a lopsided ship from scratch and realize that weight and center of mass are a thing, cry when you didn't put enough shielding on your fuel tanks and they explode your whole ship.

Explore space, kill alien space ships, do some space mining, build a space base(!), realize that artificial gravity is a thing as you sail away from your space station, cry when your oxygen runs out.

A lot of game aspects feel like they're from the 90s, but other aspects are super in depth and really fun to figure out and optimize.

While the devs may not have, modders 1000% did.
