The first half or so seems to stick with me a bit more than the run of songs following the title track. It's still early days though, so I'm sure after a few more listens it will all click for me

I'm really starting to sense a major paradigm shift in the internet starting to take place. Inane policies like this, coupled with the backwards decisions that the major social media companies seem to be making really make me anxious to see what the Web is going to look like in a couple of years. Hopefully we'll see more federated services pop up, shielded by the direct influence of corporations and overbearing governments. But the cynic in me tells me this may be too much to wish for.

Wow, 2023 is shaping up to be one of the best years in prog metal in recent memory. New Haken, Ne Obliviscaris, Periphery, The Ocean, and now new Tesseract. It's going to be hard to pick my Album of the Year this year.

It's such a good album, it's one that I always have to listen to all the way through once I start.

Is there any precedent for a territory of a country deciding to align with another nation? I'm just interested as to what the process would be, surely they can't just unilaterally decide they're no longer part of the UK.

Still waiting for the Deck to become officially available in Australia, but I'm pleased to see the progress recently in Linux gaming in general.

Arch. I've been running it on my laptop for the last 3 years, and I've only switched my gaming PC from Windows in the last couple of months. Really impressed with how much Proton has improved since the Steam Deck has come out.

Moved from Ubuntu as I was having issues with the WiFi drivers on my laptop, and both my systems have been rock solid ever since.

Yeah, just wish we could've gotten more of this sound. I enjoy Kindly Bent to Free Us, but it just doesn't come close to anything on this album

If you haven't found a solution as of yet, passing the -vgui flag to steam on launch fixed it for me. This launches Steam in the old UI, which seems to be a workaround for the time being.

I'm not entirely sure what the core issue is, the consensus from what I've read so far seems to point to a Nvidia driver issue introduced in a recent update.

Wow, this is really interesting. I'm just giving the full album a spin at the moment, and it sounds absolutely insane. Love it

If you haven't already, make sure you check out 'Pelagial' and their two 'Phanerozoic' albums

I'll remain skeptical until it releases, but hopefully this will be a reason to revisit the game. It has so much potential
