I discovered this album while working for a hospice equipment rental company. It helped me understand the emotions of people going through such intense loss. It's beautiful and ugly at the same time. It somehow manages to capture the full spectrum of emotions of that experience. This is one of the great albums of this millennium. I don't know how the artist captured it so well, but I hope he found some relief from his hospice experience by creating that album. 10/10.

Frontier Ruckus is a band that I grew up alongside. I shamelessly plug them whenever I get a chance. They make music about the places I grew up and sing about it in a way that makes me feel so close to it. Their new album just came out, but their first 2 albums are their standout. The Orion Songbook and Deadmalls and Nightfalls.

I've been really enjoying Frontier Ruckus's new album On The Northline.

Thank you very much for the recommendation. My father was going to buy a whole new boiler because he likes my Fellow Goose Neck so much. Hopefully he will take the recommendation. I told him I think it looks cool, so maybe he will listen.

Close Combat: A Bridge to Far. It's a real time strategy game with a larger regional map where you control simple supply lines and troop movement between battlefields. My two brothers and I would sit and watch each other play for hours because we just had the one computer back in the late 90's/early 2000's. We made a stupid rule that you had to be present to get your turn so we would often wait nearby for several hours for our chance at glory/survival.

Solid Sega Genesis game right there.

Group buy means a group of people all order their board at the same time (usually through a vendor in whichever region you're in. Zoom keyboards group buy for North America takes place through Cannonkeys.com) so enough quantity can be produced to interest factories to actually take on the order. Nice keyboards are certainly a niche product. Group buys are risky business. I like Meletrix keyboards because they are relatively affordable, good sturdy heavy build, and they have shipped very close to on time for the 2 orders I've placed so far. But it's not uncommon to hear horror stories of products never shipping or delays on top of delays. But it is a journey. I kind of treat the experience like a large Lego set or a model. It takes time and patience but the results are great.

Its an investment in time, energy, and money l, but you truly get something one of a kind. They only open up the group buy about twice a year, so patience is key. So this might now work for you considering you need something soon, but the group buy keyboard world has some really cool options.

If you're looking to start messing with switches, and modifying things seems intriguing, you can always look at building a board. I really like the Meletrix Zoom line. You have to wait for group buys, but you get a highly customizabled device.

I am a big fan of the F bomb that gets dropped in Dude Where's My Car. Fed up crazy old grandma runs over the protagonists (if you can call them that) Then raises a middle finger and says something like "F'n stoners*. Classic.

That right there, is a jam.

Mine at least came with the 4 pack game of

1. columns (Tetris wannabe, I loved it )
2. Golden axe
3. ? (I can't remember, maybe Tactical Enforcer?)
4. Streets of Rage (My single favorite game from 2nd grade until Virtual Cop came out a few years later. I believe Street of Rage is the game currently on this amazing posters Wombo style television screen.)

But Sewer Shark was my first real game for Sega CD and my 2nd grade mind was not prepared. Young me thought I was dumb and couldn't do it because I was little.....nah that game is just rough.

Streets of Rage. I can hear the synthwave blasting from back in 1993.

I picked up Mona Lisa Overdrive and the other one also because I was so positive that I had found my series. Might have to give it a third attempt at some point. Appreciate you input.

This is absolutely a correct answer. I recognize how important it is to the world I love visiting in my mind, but for some reason the book just never clicked for me. The way it assumes I understand the world I've been dropped into and does very little hand holding was part of my problem, but there was something else. Anyways, interesting book and clearly the inspiration for so much of the media I consume today
