    Most of the music I haven’t listened to since highschool are joke music: Stephen lynch, amateur transplants, avenue q (I lied I went to see it since high school) and youtube joke music james@war, Mister safety, cows with guns. I don’t listen to it, I do sing a lot of it still though.

    There’s some stuff too emo for me in there: Automatic Loveletter. Some edgy music: Bolt thrower. Also, “you wouldn’t know 'em” music: My Only Danger. The lost of “I don’t want to listen to”, but the list of “it’s not really available to listen to” is smaller… But mostly humourous music that hasn’t aged well or I played to death.

    Like everyone else I carried a lot of my highschool music with me and just kept adding as I grew.






  • The last series I finished was “Kingdom of immortal lovers” by Ruby Roe. Which is some f/f BDSM vampire smut.

    I think Ruby Roe is mainly f/f, but the above was more smut than fantasy. That said, I don’t go out of my way to read romance, so I really wouldn’t know.

    I can’t recommend, or not recommend the series though, it wasn’t written for me. Just here to say Ruby exists for f/f fantasy smut.


  • It was my understanding that romance, as an umbrella, was the best seller of books.

    The reason “just write smut” was the advice given to struggling authors was because the demand was there to make it a best selling genre, but people didn’t typically write it. Now it’s fairly saturated so the advice is less relevant.


  • Joke’s on me, I don’t like romantasy either. I like my fiction to be philosophy disguised as magic and spaceships.

    Romance is what sells though, and I’m glad something sells to keep authors around writing my pensive wankery.

    I did toy with the idea of writing the chapter long smut pieces I see around. Then decided I would have to devote more time than I want to devote to smut to do it right and not scam people.





  • Which is why I would be comparing the steam machine with Beelink and Minisforum. Can I get a reasonable uplift in performance at an affordable price? Yes, at this point the decision to relace my 970 is made, and I’m looking at what to replace it with. Valve, Beelink, minisforum, geekom…

    I’m too lazy to research, design, collect parts, and build my own pc. So a Mini PC home console replacement is absolutely where I’m going. I’ll give valve some premium chops too. Although I run a couple Beelink minis as a home server, I trust valve to have better lifetime and 3rd party support over [insert generic Mini builder here]. Mostly the research if I’m honest. If someone gave me a pcpartpicker list beating the UM780 XTX in price and performance I’d probable do that, I’m just lazy.

    I think I’m going to buy a PS3/XB360 era emulation capable mini (easily doable for sub $700 according to RetroGameCorps mini pc spreadsheet), I would like it to be Valve, I’m ok with it not being.
