Reddit went full retard yesterday. Full. Retard. The reddit admins banned the subreddit "Fat People Hate," which was dedicated to ...exactly what it sounds like. The amount of sewage that has spewed as a result is the stuff off legend. There's a decent recap on the Out of the Loop subreddit, and a lot more detail at Subreddit Drama. Other than further reinforcing my Gen X cynicism and possibly lowering my already dim view of the average redditard, I haven't paid much attention to the whole kerfuffle. What spare time I had yesterday was dedicated to setting up a Workshop Map Server TF2 server with the Mic Snobs (my TF2 group) technical admin. Also, the Steam Summer Sale started today. All of this said, the reasonably famous YouTuber boogie2988 posted a video last night on the subject: As per usual, Boogie make some salient points while being reasonably amusing. I don't subscribe to his channel (there are not enough hours in the day to watch the channels I already subscribe to) but I always find him to be a stand up guy. He gets more shit thrown at him on a daily basis than I can imagine. When I watched the video, this was the top comment: It had something like 1800 "thumbs up" next to it. "SJW" is a pejorative that means "social justice warrior." I'm ...not sure I can translate the rest of that comment.

Ever time I load this thread I see Riki Lindhome's legs.

OH MAN POSTING IN THE WRONG THREAD. WHAT KIND OF DUMBASS DOES THAT? I SURE WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Like putting an entire Slow post in the Gaming thread.

Well, strictly speaking you did. Potlatch's "Vacuum Conversation" appears after Dead Can Dance and before Shen. I may or may not have listed it when I read off the setlist. At the end of the night I'm usually tired, and I'm always dyslexic, so it's quite probable I overlooked it.

Your link is in fact "Menu" by nervous_testpilot from the Frozen Synapse soundtrack. It's a 10+ minute ambient piece. "Descendant" by Shen is a 5 minute downtempo piece with a strong breakbeat and fairly meaty bassliine: The two tracks do appear back to back in that broadcast, with Descent coming first. It's definitely "Menu" that comes in around 1h14m.

Busy, no time for a full Slow Post, so this: Also available in a handy "reacting to high end audio manufacturer's claims" size:

I was originally going to post this in Slow Forum, but it requires a bit more reader interaction than that thread usually has. Here is a bunch of food types cut in to cubes. How many can you identify?
