actually i should have said that my new favorite thing that i am into is playing resogun on the ps4 while listening to a grindcore or moombahton mix on the spotify on ps4. makes for the best game soundtrack.

whoa resogun is exactly my favourite kind of game
― got a long list of ilxors (fgti), Sunday, 5 April 2015 20:58 (nine years ago) link
defender was my obsession when i was a kid. so, resogun is a no-brainer for me. and then i found out that the resogun people and the guy who created defender are working on a new game together and i exploded and died.

national minorities - I will read/watch anything about a nation within a larger nation that seeks sovereignty right now. watched a doc on the 1995 Quebec referendum, read lots of Scottish pro-independence blogs, reading about catalunya's electoral pact of pro-independence parties ahead of the election there in September, reading the political philosopher will kymlicka on national minorities, multiculturalism, liberal theory of group rights etc.

An absurd, arbitrary border, which forces Bhutanese to use Indian roads to access parts of their country. Basically made by officers of the Raj in 1865, climbing the foothills just far enough to wipe their brows, and putting down cairns. The treaty is to the point:
Whereas in consequence of repeated aggressions of the Bhootan Government and of the refusal of that Government to afford satisfaction for those aggressions, and for their insulting treatment of the officers sent by His Excellency the Governor-General in Council for the purpose of procuring an amicable adjustment of differences existing between the two states, the British Government has been compelled to seize by an armed force the whole of the Doars and certain Hill Posts protecting the passes into Bhootan, and whereas the Bhootan Government has now expressed its regret for past misconduct and a desire for the establishment of friendly relations with the British Government, it is hereby agreed that the whole of the tract known as the Eighteen Doars, bordering on the districts of Rungpoor, Cooch Behar, and Assam, together with the Taloo of Ambaree Fallcottah and the Hill territory on the left bank of the Teesta up to such points as may be laid down by the British Commissioner appointed for the purpose is ceded by the Bhootan Government to the British Government forever.

Last exit Iron Path sounds great but shame there's no liner notes or incidentally date of initial release that I can find.Blackfeather At tHe Mountains of Madness. Great early 70s psych/hard rock stuff which got an official remaster on the Aztec label after being delayed by the guitarist vetoing it for a while.Cold Sun Dark Shadows the World i Sound reissue or actual official issue of something that was only an acetate at the time and had a semilegit release in the interim. Nice droney psychy stuff pretty prescient of postpunk stuff possibly thanks to VU uinfluence.
Wolf Hall finally about 2/3s of the way through it and it is really good writing.Mr Robot, even if episode 5 had me seriously seeing the Tyler Durden likelihood.Fringe gone back to season 1 when it was a creepy X files reworking with a hidden subplot. Interesting to watch after having seeen the later serieses. I think i only watched it once before.Supernatural watching season 2 but somebody's bunged in a lot of Swedish subtitles to a couple of episodes which I could do without.
Not intoRotten flu still having my headspinning.Destroying my tv by trying to clean it, which leaves me thinking i could have doen this at any point over the last year and whatever.Never being able to find warranties or receipts for things despite thinking that I keep them in a central place. weather thinking its autumn not high summer, which is helping feed my cold. It's raining again right now so just as well I picked up the local paper before it became a soggy mess. Yesterday looked so promisisng too.
