Aye. It helps with my anxiety, can be an excellent escape and provide a different frame of reference on things, is a way I deal with extreme pain, and overall just enhances quality of life.

Highly recommended.

Guitar tube amplifier emulation.

I love it because as absolutely horrid as it was when it was emerging tech, those sounds along with every other link in the chain comes with certain nostalgia for music that was created using it in whatever intermediary period it was at in that time. Today we’ve basically hit endgame in that the emulations of today’s tech are so close to the real thing that they’re basically indistinguishable from the genuine article. We have access to the full range of sounds from Boss DS-1’s to the old Line6 Pods to modern Kempers. If you’re a guitar player who likes experimenting with the over all sound of your rig, this is the good stuff.

Yeah, can’t be certain, but it would have had to have been one of four that I remember from my earliest years:

Pong Space Invaders Super Mario Bros Duckhunt

The worst recorded sound that I have ever heard was Kurt Cobain doing a mic check on a Nirvana live bootleg. Like a tortured cat with laryngitis.

Lee Kum Kee is what I’ve found that is a) available, and b) close to indistinguishable from Huy Fong as far as I can tell.

Corn dogs for sure. Fuckin’ love me some corn dogs with ketchup.

On fries I really only do ketchup. I use Sriracha on almost everything else that’s primarily potato, but not fries. I used to use A1 steak sauce every so often a while back. I hadn’t thought of that in years; might need to go pick up a bottle.

If you’ve got the head shape to pull it off, go for it. You don’t really know until you try it. I tried…

Eh, some of us are just balding and it’s the least bad option.

Hats off to them! Where are the rest?

The US doesn’t do conscription. We have something of an economic draft in this country. There’s a whole different conversation to be had about that. I suspect a non-zero change to the frequency and motivations behind our deployments to follow if we make earning privilege compulsory. Our veterans services would likely look a fair bit different as well.

Royalty and nobility taking part in actual on-the-ground warfare. I’d be curious if that would have any effect on military operations…
