Yeah, for every Pearl Jam, Nirvana, or Soundgarden, there was a Counting Crows, Bush, or Ben Folds Five. Not to mention the boy bands that absolutely dominated the late 90s charts.

Cranking out weird jams with synths and playing a bit of Inscryption.

So, the capacitor can mitigate the spring weakening. Good to know. Replacing a cap is probably much easier than taking the switches apart and bending the springs.

I wish you luck.

Yeah, this is all provided the atmosphere remains transparent to the human eye in any case.

The 80s we're so much more futurist than we are now. Everyone thought the future was going to be great! I feel like it's the last decade that was true for.

Is that really what Akira was about? Or is that just some overzealous weeaboo grad student's opinion?

The last Tool album I enjoyed was Aenima, and even then they were veering into overly-proggy wank. I honestly think they peaked with Undertow, but you know, music is subjective and all that.

There's argument to be made for several albums across their career (including their first), but I think REM's Document was the last great one they made. I know a lot of people will cry and point to Automatic for the People, but they are wrong.

I'm enjoying it, but after a certain point I feel like I had to consult a guide. Late-game stuff is expensive!

Yeah. They certainly tend towards arty bunk. I guess I get it: it has to be hard to come up with ways to describe music that haven't been used a billion times before, but they lean so hard into trying to be unique, it all comes out meaningless.

Yes, but I don't because I've lived in Korea for the past twenty years, and you need a special license to drive manual here. I'm in my forties. From Canada.
