THE TRIP [I ONDE DAGER] [2021]

THE TRIP [I ONDE DAGER] [2021]

In [previous post] I said that there is a problem with quality black humor comedies. Here you go, a good one. [Norwegian thriller] with element of black humor, which blow my mind away. Don’t want to describe anything, just watch it! In terms of humor movie has some similarities with [Riders of Justice] . spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik
TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL [2010] ▀ WOOD CHIPPER MOMENT

TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL [2010] ▀ WOOD CHIPPER MOMENT

One of the funniest “recent” American horror-comedy. In terms of humor quality it is almost on the same level with [Evil Dead] , but aesthetics is more neat in [Sam Raimi] franchise. 2010 IS RECENT? ARE YOU NUTS? Yeah, almost no quality black humor trash till today. The wood chipper moment is for sure is the most expressive culmination of in movie humor. SO, ENJOY! Scene with a cop should be awarded with prize for terrific acting!
NOKIA E72 ▀ RETRO BLAST FROM THE PAST

NOKIA E72 ▀ RETRO BLAST FROM THE PAST

I’ve decided to make a quick overview while my trusty Nokia 808 is in service. So I have some time to use Nokia E72 as my main GSM ringer. What can I say about Nokia? Yeaaah, this is Nokia. I’m talking about original one, not about HMD concern of China, which make cheap android-based phones and awful camera-phones like [Nokia PureView 9] . Speaking of [Nokia E72] , it is a premium business smartphone of mid 2000s era.

IDIOCRACY [2006]

Looking at tiktok I could definitely say that we finally reached [that level of stupidity] . Thanks to Judge for 100% correct future prediction and of course for such a movie-gem! I could even suggest tiktok to shorten clips length to 5 seconds. Pretty sure that it will be sufficient for children of the gen Z. TELEVISION OF THE FUTURE DR LEXUS For more Mike’s cool stuff you can check solid [Office Space] and brilliant [Beavis & Butt-Head] .

K.L.F. ▀ HEAVY MUSIC INFLUENCERS OF 90s

You don’t know what is [KLF] ? You better be joking, coz [you have to know] . Their work cover plethora of music styles. KLF influenced music evolution a lot. Such artistic quality is unreachable for genZ crews. ##Pop The KLF - Last Train To Trancentral [Live From The Lost Continent][Official Video] ##Alternative The KLF - The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu vs. Extreme Noise Terror - 3AM Eternal [From The Black Room] ##Ambient The KLF - The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu - Come Down Dawn [Full Chapter] ##Trance The KLF - Kylie Said To Jason “KYLIE SAID TRANCE” spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik
X-COM ▀ UFO DEFENSE [1994]

X-COM ▀ UFO DEFENSE [1994]

UPDATED ON: 2022-02-28 Another [quality game] from my childhood. This time, turn-based tactical combat. It’s addictive game-play coupled with stunning atmosphere make it so great. Emotive Adlib FM music bring up even more intrigue to classy style of this masterpiece. Some gameplay videos for deeper immersion. INTRO MISSION [ORIGINAL OST PLAYLIST] [XCOM LEGACY OST PLAYLIST] Heavily inspired by original one, not those orchestral epic crap. Also you should definitely check [open-source remake] of the original game.
아치 & 씨팍 양아치 ▀ MASTER P.G AND MC K VERSIONS

아치 & 씨팍 양아치 ▀ MASTER P.G AND MC K VERSIONS

Insanely underrated Korean art-house cartoon [Aachi & Ssipak] . YOU: And what about OST? ME: YES. Ok-Ok!. It’s dope. My favorite one is credits music theme. And, yeah, two versions of it right here. Enjoy! 아치 & 씨팍 양아치 Ver. ► Master P.G Version 아치 & 씨팍 (Backstreet Ver.) ► MC K Version In case you are interested in the rest soundtrack here is a complete playlist on YT .

FENNEC F-DROID AS A REPLACEMENT FOR AGING ICECAT 68 ESR [ANDROID]

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-20 I recommend to replace Fennec F-Droid with [Mull Browser] due to the fact that is COMPLETELY free from telemetry. In contrast to Fennec Mull browser do not trigger any mozilla or google connections, so take a note. And for God’s sake do not use plain Firefox, it is almost like chrome now! As my main web surfer IceCat begin to showing it’s age and don’t have any new versions apart from “super-new” 68.
OFFICE SPACE [1999] ▀ PRINTER TERMINATION

OFFICE SPACE [1999] ▀ PRINTER TERMINATION

[Excellent comedy] from creator of [Beavis & Butt-Head] . When shitty KPI was just introduced. When screens were small and mice were big. When computer hardware had quality casings. For all of you, office workers! Personal fuck-offs goes out to mama’s-boy heads, efficiency unit managers and other dumb-heads. And yeah, you don’t have to sub, put like or sh#t like this. spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

MODERN BLENDER, WINDOWS 7 ERA IS NOT ENDED, YET

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-12 ► Added info on 2.93.15 LTS & 3.0 Final Make sure to check [newer post] regarding refreshed information about modern Blender and Windows 7 compatibility As we all know that last official Blender build to support Windows 7 is 2.92. Next version requires Python 3.9.x, which is not an option for Windows 7. However, there is a possibility to run new 2.93 version via [DLL HACK] , which could be applied even to the newest 2.
HUMAN TRAFFIC [1999]

HUMAN TRAFFIC [1999]

British, [almost documentary movie about rave culture of 90s] reminds me of my own youth. Quite talented picture for sure. DJ Koop always puts me on the right rails. I used to pretend the same thing Koop’s scratching The most raddest scene of the film: Koop’s Jungle record store spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

FALLOUT I/II ▀ BEST RPG EVER!

FALLOUT I/II ▀ BEST RPG EVER!

My favorite game of all times. Thanks to it I’ve learn English [to some kind of degree] and even was almost expelled from university. What a neat memories. I was totally obsessed with deep “in game” atmosphere. Cyberpunk post-apocalyptic stuff, you know what I’m saying and those incredible ambient from master [Mark Morgan] . Can firmly confirm that modern series of this franchise don’t provide such immersion. As for backdrop music, Mark Morgan in Fallout ½ set quality bar to unreachable level.
THE BEST OF BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD

THE BEST OF BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD

One of my favorite cartoons ever. The reality is like: current gen Z is even dumber than B’n’B. Who would have thought that such thing could turn out like this? Some time ago I have compiled the best moments of this awesome cartoon. Hosted on Brighteon video service. Following content belong to Mike Judge.

COLOURFORM ▀ VISIONS OF SURYA

COLOURFORM ▀ VISIONS OF SURYA

Probably one of the best pure 100% ambient albums in human history. Well-crafted multi-layered textures deeply stimulate ear channels and bring your consciousness to the outer limits of our existence. Effect of presence is unparalleled. You do not even need motion video footage to feel the third dimension. More than good earphones are highly recommended. Low-quality audio sample can be found on YT.

GRAVIS ULTRASOUND ▀ BEST DEMO MIDI FILES

GRAVIS ULTRASOUND ▀ BEST DEMO MIDI FILES

In early 90s, during days of light-hearted childhood, I used to own [Gravis Ultrasound Max] ► cool wave-table based audio card. Pretty strong rival to [Sound Blaster from Creative Labs] . Card held nice instruments in its RAM and was gooood at playing Midi files. Signal-to-noise ratio was better than in Sound Blaster, but card struggle to compete with [Pro Audio Spectrum 16] . It’s a pity that I don’t own card anymore and that is why can’t do quality pictures of it.

FiiO ▀ HI-FI ARMATURE MULTI-DRIVER EARPHONES

Do we really need expensive Sennheiser? In youth dates, I was fond of exploiting expensive audio technics.As for earphones, my favorite brand was Bayerdynamic. However, some time ago I have discovered relatively inexpensive headphones from Chinese brand [Fiio] . As a listener of wide gamut of music like ambient, trance, dub, psybient, jazz, metal: I have to say that this headphones provide totally unexpected level of audio quality. Especially if we’ll consider the price.

EVIL DEAD I/II/III ▀ STYLISH VIDEO EFFECTS OF 90s ERA

I think that people are sicking tired of cheap computer graphics. Everything is so plastic and unnaturally glossy these days. Miss those real video effects from early 90s. And yeah, they were so atmospheric, especially amplified effect of beam light coming out of backdrop. Evil Dead is very neat example, just look at these pieces. Make sure to watch S-Mart scene!

IT CROWD ▀ VISTA? WE ARE GOING TO DIE, ROY!!!!

Moss: What kind of operating system does it use? Bomb guy: Vista! Moss to Roy: We are going to die! Actually, Vista was not so bad after all these service packs. However, in golden release it was really awful: problems with USB speeds, GUI performance issues and so on. As for looks, I like it soooo much and even [transformed my Windows 7] into Windows Vista. Will post a note regarding this transformation in a while.

SOME NOTES ON SONY XPERIA XZ1 COMPACT

SOME NOTES ON SONY XPERIA XZ1 COMPACT

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-16 I’m not a big fan of Sony smartphones. Yeah, their products almost always packed with technology, but in terms of engineering ideas and realization things they suck pretty badly. Same point of view regarding their photography division. But nevertheless I’m using Sony XZ1 Compact as my main portable web gateway on daily basis. Using it due to ultra-compact size and no alternatives available. It’s a 2017 flagship, based upon Snapdragon 835 CPU and paired with 4Gb of RAM.

SELECTING YOUR WINDOWS & ANDROID BROWSER

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-20 Note is totally rewritten to match 2023 reality. Today it is not an easy task to do. There are plenty browsers out there. “So, what is the problem?” you may ask. Most of them are based upon google chrome. This means that all of them are dialing back to google to share your private data. That’s the main problem. Here is my personal list of browsers that I use in a daily workflow on Windows machine: Main surfer: [Iceweasel 110] ► replaced IceCat For visiting geo-restricted sites: [TorBrowser 12.
WWF ARCADE ▀ BEST FIGHTING GAME EVER

WWF ARCADE ▀ BEST FIGHTING GAME EVER

Everybody count Mortal Kombat on PC or King of the Fighters on NeoGeo as best fighting games ever. I have another opinion on that. The most dynamic and neck-breaking fighting game is WWF. World Wrestling Federation. Fluid VGA animations and cool atmosphere, spiced-up with best combo system in the world, that’s the key to neat fighting game. It is extremely underrated! In my childhood i’ve managed to do 32-hit combo by Shawn Michaels.
