The Neighborhood Kids. They're a small-ish rap group whose biggest song has a bit over quarter million streams on Spotify (Biddi Bomb). They're really interesting because they sound and feel like politically active 90s west coast rap. Great beats, great lyrics, and very creative.

A complete 180 from what tops the charts nowadays. Biddi bomb is their biggest song and is rap through and through, while Third World Problems feels RATM. I honestly hope they keep at it because I love what they're doing.

Lethal Company, Battle Talent, Ready or Not, and Arma Reforger. Bit of Stalker GAMMA and Crusader Kings as well.

I'm halfway through my first kcd2 playthrough and I'm waiting for the barber update. The game is fantastic, and I really want to keep playing, but I kinda liked costumizing henry in the first game. Looking at the rest of the game, I imagine this one'll be much more polished.

Yeah! I was looking for something horror or horror adjacent and I was not expecting religious horror to pop up. It's easy to read too, though it does get a bit, uh, what's the word, crude at times. Not in the writing, but what's being portrayed.

Reading, honestly. Though I don't read on my phone, too many distractions. I read whenever I'm out and about and waiting, which isn't much these days.

Christopher Buehlman has some, though idk if they're grimdark or just horror. I've read Those Across The River and Between Two Fires, both standalone stories with no connection between them. Between Two Fires is the better of the two, with just some of the latter half feeling a bit too long (even if the story is still interesting).

Yes and no. I cut my hair once a year to donate it. It's usually warm to hot year round (25-37c), with a couple months' reprieve around december. I cut my hair around January or a bit earlier depending on temperatures.

The height of summer is torture for me because of the humidity frizzing my hair. I look as if Gimli was cosplaying one of Marge's sisters.

Not OP, but the community used to be so much better before. Game is fun, begun playing it on launch, but quit about three years ago because the people that play it are pretty toxic nowadays. Also, can't trade stuff now. Some people really enjoyed that aspect of the game (not me, but still). A shame there isn't anything else like it.

In december last year I had to put down my 15y/o dog, named Santino. He was a little stupid and couldn't keep still, so I named him after the guy from The Godfather (a bit grim I know). I also have two cats, a three color grump called Hollie (named after Billie Holiday) and a tuxedo lovable fuzzball called Louie (named after Louie Armstrong).

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. I also had a kitten (who died of complications from being weaned off too early) called Curie.

Lol, that's what I tell my friends when they inquire about sustenance storage in my beard.

RE: the centre stache thing, yeah. The bit isn't a problem because that part I do trim meticulously. The sides are though, but those achieve the look. The problem is those hairs don't grow outwards in an imperial fashion, but inwards. Think the guy with the beret from myth busters.

In case Tailscale doesn't work, there's tons of other options. The one I use to set up my Foundry sessions woth my players is Zgrok. Works as good as ngrok and tailscale while being more generous with data limits.

I think this is specific to my own neck of the woods, but the words "pija" and "verga". It can be used in a variety of different contexts and will mean anything between the bee's knees to absolute shit.

For example, "la mera pija/verga", literally "the very dick", means "the best"; while "la pija/verga" m, literally "the dick", means "the absolute fucking worst/incapable/incompetent". "Pijin" means rave, "pijeada/verguiada" means either a scuffle that ended with one side getting beaten very badly, or something that is very hard to do.

An example of the last one: "Darle pija a Malenia, Blade of Miquella, es pijeado", meaning "To beat Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is hard".

... Lots of phallic turns of phrase. But its usage probably isn't so different to the versatility of the word "fuck" in the english language.

For the last three years I've let my hair grow out and donate it once its about 15in long. My hair is probably 2c if I let it air dry. It was annoying but I learnt to live with it by tying the sides of my hair back and tucking my crown's hair underneath the tie. Some strands will sneak out eventually but it's manageable.

However, what I have not found a solution for is my moustache. I like to have my moustache grown out, Tsar Nicholas style, but eating anything is a chore. Sandwiches, burgers, and pizze mean I'm munching on my own stache and pulling some hair out, soups and stews mean I'll be patting dry the contours of my mouth down to my chin. The only things I can eat comfortably are things I can skewer with a fork. Really puts on a damper on my hair game since I have to trim it a lot for it not to be a bother.
