@8bitacrylic I live a few states away but I'll absolutely still compliment you painted squares!

That Avengers Arcade sprite of Capt. America is fantastic! And I love the double wide Tick portrait; the lighting is ridiculous dramatic, just like the hero himself. :)

I'm actually more excited to check out the 2025 series of BanG Dream! which follows the progressive rock band Ave Mujica and appears to have a wildly different tone to it, one that looks to be more cynical about being in a band.

I finished "BanG Dream! Its MyGO!!!!!" and enjoyed the ending quite a bit. "BanG Dream!" is a series of anime focusing on telling stories about fictional music groups and this season was about the band MyGO!!!!. The story mostly focused on the trials of forming a band and keeping those relationships up and the difficulties of being yourself and authentic, especially for an introvert. It's a heartwarming story of friendship with some excellent pop punk music.

@DXMacGuffin Not sure if anyone else has added this, but the end of Six Degrees is a gong drone that shows up at the start of the following album too, albeit reversed and sped up. So Dream Theater was definitely fond of sonically connecting their albums at the time.
I enjoyed my time with it and had a few really good laughs towards the end of the film but I wouldn't "strongly" recommend it -- more like a light recommendation. It's a solid 7 out of 10 but certainly a great comedy for a fun evening.

Lisa Frankenstein was an interesting watch. It's about a high school girl in the late 80s who accidentally raises a Doctor Frankenstein from the dead. It's the full length directorial debut of Zelda Williams and is written by Diablo Cody so expect a fair share of 80s references. It's tough to genre classify this film but it's somewhere between a comedy horror and teen romcom that I'd probably label as "a modern day take on Edward Scissorhands."

The Radeon 9060 XT has a price and a release date -- $350 for the 16gb model on June 5th, the same day the Switch launches. I'm tempted to grab both the GPU and a pair of Joycon 2s but I know the bots will ensure I get neither that day 😄
@mackaaij I use a database to organize and view over 1 thousand different notes' metadata using the third party Dataview. It's a little slow to load the bigger tables but it has never crashed -- and the speed is likely my aging computer and not the software itself. I'd wager that Bases would handle the tasks fairly similarly.
I'm already using Dataview for several Obsidian projects but their new bases looks great. The tables are neater and interactive and having everything in markdown and supported by Publish is a huge step forward. I'll certainly be adapting my current databases when it gets a full release.

Obsidian Bases + Obsidian Web Clipper is the web archival tool I always wanted

replaces my read-it-later app and saves everything to local markdown files
