There's definately places in NSW where you could experience SAD. Places in the Central West for example; Orange and Bathurst get quite gloomy during the winter.

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

There's now an option to enable this, previously this was how Jerboa behaved with no way to disable it.

 

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Asymmetry is my favorite Karnivool album. As much as I love Sound Awake, I feel like this is their most coherent album. Here's just hoping we can get some more material from them soon.

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.

You definately have a point. I'm honestly not very well versed in the specifics of this situation, which is why I was curious. What repercussions do you think such a move would have from a diplomatic point of view between the UK and Norway? Building from that too, obviously Norway would have to agree to take them in first, which from the article I'm not sure if they have.

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.

Is there any way to provide donations to support the instance going forward?

It really depends on what software you have installed. Quite a few packages require Python to function, and removing it will prevent/affect their functioning. This is one of the main advantages of Arch though: you start with a bare-bones system, and build from there as you need. One question though, why do you need to uninstall Python?

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.

 

Couldn't find any individual tracks on YouTube to share, so I've just posted the full album stream. The whole album is a masterpiece in my opinion, but check out track 3 'Cyclic' as a good example of the album's sound.

 

I'm really loving the use of dynamics on this album, easily one of my top AOTY contenders
