This year I discovered Norm Macdonald and I think he's now my favourite.

Theo Vonn is also hilarious, not so much his stand up but in podcasts and general conversation.

Bill Burr is great too.

The dark crystal is the greatest fantasy movie of all time.

One of the reasons I think they hit different is because of the technology used to film them and the practical effects.

To me horror films from the 70s and before seem more real and scary than modern ones that are full of CGI and weird pallete swaps like when they film night scenes during the day and then darken them after. It just gives off this whole 'this is a fake movie' thing to me.

I haven't tried for years but vst's are pure pain on Linux.

Have you tried bitwig studio? It has a native Linux version and is incredible. Vst will still be shit (if they are even supported) but if you master bitwig you probably won't even need them.

OpenSuse leap

[-] astroturds@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but quite often you get to see them wash it all off.

I only downvote hateful stuff or obvious bots and spam. The same as I do on anything with upvotes and downvotes.

[-] astroturds@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

No way! Opensuse has always been perfect for me, I do usually use leap though.

I like it, it's an Ubuntu lts with a nice theme (I wish it had grey instead of just black and white though), wine integration to run compatible windows software and it's always just worked for me.

I don't like the fact that some things are locked out unless you pay for the pro version but I think that's just layouts and stuff.

I'd say it's good but like all of these Ubuntu derivatives you're almost always better off just using Ubuntu. Even people changing from windows to Linux, I'd still just tell them to use Ubuntu.

It made me laugh fwiw

[-] astroturds@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah that got me too.

Thanks, I really like the whole idea of Lemmy and this instance. it's quite exciting being present for the start of it all. It took a while for it to compute in my brain but I'm getting there.

We are boldly going!

Thanks! Honestly it was hard to resist starting again immediately!

The great thing about it is there is so much to get through, by the time you've finished it the memories of the beginning are fading.

I'm excited to watch it all again!
