yowza, i plays classical guitars: a beat to hell yamaha c40, and a high-end LAG Occitania (designed in France). Back in the US, I have an Asturias high-end classical cut-away with a custom guitar to midi electronic system from RMC. Haven't seen my Asturias in 12 years 
i often play in altered tunings like E A D A D E.
cheers, Bill

I am both amazed and pleased to see all of the responses and musical talent out there. 
I always wanted to learn to play "Lounge Lizard piano" but never could find the time to take lessons.
I really believe there is an incredible similarity between writing programs. In both, you must be creative in a structured format.
For those that pointed out the "Conflict" in my post:
1. It was 90% meant to be a pun and,
2. there is a difference between bickering and global conflict.

I studied early music (Mediaeval, Renaissance, & Baroque) and some ethnomusicology in college. Most of my lesson hours were on harpsichord, but I usually performed on viola da gamba, Baroque flute, Renaissance lute & orpharion.
I don't have much playing time with my current commute, but I'm sometimes called for stand-in work on upright bass in oldtime/American roots music for contradances, etc, or play 1-key flute in Irish jams.
On the ethno side, I can play Egyptian ney flute (but zillions of scales!), and Chinese dizi and xiao flutes.
I could probably open a weird instruments zoo.

I gave it to Randor

I can see why, but technically he didn't give the answer, just an almighty clue!

I have a few prepared just in case I was called out. I am beginning to think Pete likes my puzzles.

I do - the assembler code was the best one

Sencit & Fjøra – Déjà Vu[^]
A soundtrack today, from the game Deathloop.
In Deathloop you're stuck in a time loop, making you relive the same day over and over.
However, you're on a strange island and someone who knows more, and is not a friend, is talking to you over the radio.
And now you have to escape, accompanied by some great tracks that are somewhere between rock and jazz.
I looked up the soundtrack on Spotify and this track stood out.
It's the first one with vocals and it sounds like a James Bond soundtrack.
Sencit is not a musician or a band, but a sound design studio.
Fjøra works mainly in the movie soundtrack industry and is credited for coining the term "cinematronic".
The track was used in gameplay trailer #3, so I don't think it's in the actual game.
Awesome game, awesome soundtrack, awesome song, SOTW

Easily one of my favourite games from last year. I really hope we get a second one, but I am worried that it wasn't as successful as they had expected. Hopefully I am wrong.

Wow, you react to my SOTW (almost) every week, but I think this is the first time you actually leave a reply 
I like the game and the story/gameplay is pretty brilliant, but unfortunately it gets boring quickly.
Playing the same maps, shooting the same enemies using the same weapons...
I play one or two maps in a sitting (about one to two hours) and then I get bored.
Compare that to a game like Hades, another roguelike.
I was able to play that one for hours each day, weeks on end...

Gotta show my appreciation so you keep them going. It makes Fridays even more Friday-ey 
If I don't react, it means I'm off work that day/week

I guess that is where my trophy obsession saves the day. I was loving it for hours on end, but yeah I can see what you are saying.

I still need to get around to this. For some reason, every time I look at it, I end up talking myself out of it thinking it will be a chore to play.

Do yourself a favor and give it a try, easily one of the best games I've played in the past years!
A single (successful) run takes about an hour and you can quit in every room and start from there.
You can literally play it for just five minutes and still made some progress

Yep, I can see that.
When I first heard The Pretty Reckless - 25 [^] I was utterly convinced it was going to be the next James Bond theme.

Totally hearing it.
I got some Hooverphonic[^] vibes as well, mostly because of the singer.

Hi All,
'IE 11 is going obselete, we need to upgrade', wait, 'Only some features need updating for Edge, not really an issue', IE11 no longer supported, 'Well it mostly works on Edge, you can't use Chrome it unsafe' That sums up today, one of the issues is you can spend a long time uploading stuff to the Edge version of our database / solution holder you can't publish it so it's not local to your log in  . Chrome is unsafe?? Give me Strength
