I'd probably throw in Ano Hanna too, for something a bit different.

Yup, agreed on Ano Hanna =] I found it surprisingly a good imo. Also I recommend C the Soul of Money and Possibility Control, found it to be totally awesome.

I watched the first 3 episodes of C and I agree, it's awesome! There's something fresh about it and it looks great.

Check out Kuchu Buranko, came out last year from the same director of C.

Forgive me for not reading the previous 400+ pages, but has anyone watched Highschool of the Dead? Saw a couple of episodes recently and thought it wasn't too bad, what does everyone else think?

Dude, first, I totally dig that Sig. Just saw Atmosphere and Grieves LIVE at Stubbs BBQ. ****en rocked. I never miss a show when Slug is invloved :)

On that note, While HSOTD was animated very well, and had zombies... I couldn't get too much into it. I made it to about the 7th episode, and just lost interest. Too many panty and boob shots that may have done it.... I just don't dig that type of "perverted" anime. I call it "perverted" because they always do it in a way that makes it seem creepy lol.

Holy god another local fan!

Indeedy :)

I'm a noob fan really, I've loved Japanese cinema for years, but never enjoyed anim?... I guess I never got it until whilst intoxicated and being introduced to Naruto properly, I came to the revelation of Godzilla/Akira/InsertRandomApocalypticScene <----> Horrific earthquakes... and the penny sort of dropped linking the two.

I've seen most of the critically acclaimed films just through being a film student at one point in my life, but as for the anim? shows? I've given very few of them the time of day. I'm struggling to finish season one of Naruto because although I like it and find it quite entertaining... I cannot stand the way it's formatted. The lengthy intros & outros plus the annoying recaps all for around 10 minutes or so of new material. My housemate has just started getting into it as well, he's just finishing season two and told me that some one-on-one fight scene Naruto has as part of his training lasts for around 3 episodes. Same reason I struggle to watch a lot of American shows, even The Walking Dead is a bit of a pain to watch for me.

Naruto , while the story takes place as them being kids, is good and tedious. But stick through it. Once Shippuuden starts, the series really takes off.

Cheers, our friend Fiddy is just too good to be true sometimes!

MASSIVELY jealous right now. I'd kill to see any ONE of the RS lot live, never mind TWO of them on one bill! What's Family Sign like live?

I know what you mean about HSOTD, I'm not fussed on those perverted shots... they do get quite annoying, the show does seem to use them ****loads. If they toned it down a bit just so it didn't become so monotonous it'd be a lot better.

I have only watched about... 4 episodes maybe? I think I got up to the part where you seemingly meet the first couple of villains? I like the subject matter, I've always been fascinated with zombie shows/films/games, so I'll probably try and finish the first season.

Man, they were amazing. Grieves started the show, and got it pumped up instantly. Have to say, I enjoyed LightSpeed the most out of his songs. Then Atmosphere played last, after Blueprint, and they were amazing. I've seen Atmosphere live before, and once their sound system wrecked, and Slug went into the crowd and started just freestyling and signing his songs without any real beats... it was a moment I'll never forget... but I don't miss anything Ryhmesayers/Doomtree. They come to Austin a lot, and I make it to basically every show I can. Had a drink with POS, got hugged by Dessa :), and bumped fist with Ant just the other day !!! My friend had me take his picture with grieves, but it was too dark, so only got a black square. Grieves was a cool dude, got to talk with him a little. This girl me and my friend were near got us partially back stage after Grieves finished, so we were able to meet some of them, but not Slug... he was infront of the building, shaking hands and talking to those entering the concert :(

Only one I still need to really meet is Astronautalis. Seen him perform plenty, just haven't shaken hands or got a picture with him yet.

Man, you're the only person so far that seems to know what Ryhmesayers is..... good to be able to talk about this **** :) lol

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display.

Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
