I had a uni lecturer pronounce MySQL as "my squirrel"

When I was a kid I'd play Fable The Lost Chapters as a regular villager. I'd buy a house, get married, equip a stick (because you had to equip a weapon) and just walk around interacting with the other villagers.

Eventually I'd get bored though, so I'd out-of-rp murder my wife, then "discover" the body and go on a rampage through Oakvale.

It sounds so much worse written down.

I just checked them out on Spotify and their discography is hilariously messed up

It is really great to hear this community is more open, it put me off sharing metal tastes in the past.

Also turns out I listen to way more power metal than I thought. Started a power metal playlist and recognised loads of bands.

I wasn't but you make it really tempting. I also love how I've been on many a different server, and each one has been completely unique in design. It really mastered the balance between a survival exploration game and creative sandbox.

Yeah, the last decade went really quick for me. I know everyone says that but it's true. Things that make me feel old are how GTA V made fun of hipsters and New Girl made fun of millennials. That era is gone man.

Even Bowie's Blackstar is 7 years old and that feels like last year.

I like a lot of what I consider 'classic' metal, which I hope is not offensive. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Dio, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin. I like a lot of nu metal too, I hope that doesn't get me banned.

I'd like to try more, I think it's just the extreme varieties I can't really get into.

I do not usually listen to David Guetta, but Titanium was everywhere the summer of 2011. I heard it in college, on the street, in the car, and at house parties. Actually, mostly house parties.

To this day I can taste cheap vodka, amaretto and jagermeister when I hear that song.

One of the things I like is because induction works by directly heating the metal, on the rare occasion something does spill over it doesn't burn nearly as badly because it only gets residual heat. Wipes off really easily.

They also cool down very quickly if you have children or pets to worry about.

I'm glad I made the switch. The pros far outweigh the cons for me, and with the pancakes/crepes I think it's just a learning curve.

I loved them, I miss them dearly, but no, I don't think they'll come back.

A lot has changed and the internet is not the same, for better and for worse. For one, it's just a lot bigger. You'd think that'd make it easier, but it seems to make it harder. There's too much noise for the communities to stand out, so what usually happens is one or two get huge and the others dwindle and die. Even just look at Lemmy, through no fault of your own, Beehaw is becoming one of the largest instances and it requires active work to spread the weight across the rest of the federation. People gravitate I guess.

Plus, because it's so much bigger, there's less of an identity in the spaces that do survive. Post in any reddit thread, then go to another. Chances are nobody'll be the same (except for a few superusers) so there's no real sense of belonging or community that the old forums had. Back then you trolled your friends, not strangers.

Thanks for sharing this, I love it. What a mystery though, I'm struggling to find anything else about them too.
