Eminem’s Tonite (www.youtube.com)
 

A track from Eminem’s first, experimental album Infinite, from 1996. The entire album has a different, softer, relaxed vibe compared to his later, much more successful work. I’ve always liked it since I first listened to it back in the early 2000s.

311's Come Original in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yep, it definitely had a very distinct sound to it, even for then. But it was reflective of some of the experimentation going on in rock at that time (e.g. Limp Bizkit).

311's Come Original (www.youtube.com)
 

My favorite, from these guys. Released in 1999.

My favorite song from this band.

Cyan's Riven remake has official trailer and launch date (June 25th) (www.youtube.com)
 

For those not familiar, it's a 3D (with VR support) remake of Riven, which was originally released in 1997 as a "point and click" sequel to the classic adventure and puzzle-solving game Myst.

Social Distortion's Story of My Life (www.youtube.com)
 

Definitely one of the great rock songs from the early 90s.

Good alternative rock song from the late 2000s.

Metallica's Whiskey in the Jar (www.youtube.com)
 

Great song from the late 90s. Metallica's Whiskey in the Jar is a cover of Thin Lizzy's version of this old Irish folk music.

Great alternative rock song from the early 90s.

The Smashing Pumpkins' Tonight, Tonight in c/[email protected]

Yep, one of the very best from the 1990s! I drive routes for a living and love listening to music like this in my big truck.

Haha, yep. I can not do that either. I was never even very good at that as a kid.

Right on! I just recently turned 40 myself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I first heard it as a college student on a local alternative rock station back in the early 2000s. They kept playing it well into the 2010s. I haven't heard it much on the radio recently, though.

[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That sounds extremely infuriating! Regarding Lenovo and Linux Mint, I actually had a very good experience with them a little over a year ago. I bought a new IdeaCentre 5i pre-built desktop tower and had zero issues installing Mint on it. All I had to do was press F12 and select to boot from the bootable USB to install, no screwing with the BIOS or anything. But I've never tried installing Linux on a laptop. I only use desktops.

That's too bad. I remember reading it some back in 2022 and 2023. Best wishes to the author.

Daggerfall Unity recently reached version 1.0 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I started playing back in 1996 too. I haven't actually played with Daggerfall Unity since late 2017, so I am excited to try it in its current form at some point soon. I want to try it out with the DREAM, World of Daggerfall, and Real Grass mods (and maybe some others).

Linux Mint 21.3 has been released in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Great news, I've been using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) since 2016 as my only operating system without any regrets. The newer versions of Cinnamon keep getting more and more stable too. I have virtually no hard crashes or freezes anymore.

I'm Done With Windows, Are you? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yep. Windows XP was my last Windows and when it became obsolete I permanently switched to Linux Mint (without dual-booting). Everything that I use has worked very well. I've never even thought about switching back to Windows.

Steam adds "Boomer Shooter" as an official tag in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm around 40 and I played these games as they were coming out back in the 1990s. I call them either "FPS" or "Retro FPS"...

People born in the 1940s/50s never played them much. Although my dad did play Wolfenstein3D and Doom some, but that was not common for people in his age group.
