Same here. But the final two episodes of Outer Range are available now.

Good. I hope those episodes help to make some kind of sense of the story. I'm starting to suspect this was written by the same people who wrote The OA. It's almost too bizarre to keep my attention much longer.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Best not to start anything until it's done. Then binge the whole stinkin' thing at once.
I watched Reacher over the past two nights.

I waited for episode 9 to drop before I started watching Picard.
Racher was surprisingly good - I read some of the books afterwards, and they were nowhere near as well done! They should give Roscoe and Finlay spin-off series' of their own ...

As I did with The Mandalorian, binged season 1 just before season 2 came out.

Have you read the book it was based on?
I've read most of the series. It's the one series I buy when they come out.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I haven't, but I mean to. I just have to get a library card so I don't pay a gazzillion dollars to read them all.

Real Lies - Dream On[^]
Two weeks ago, I was out with some friends on one of their bachelor party.
Boat, food, laser gaming, booze, pizza and... Music! (it was every bit as awesome as it sounds)
Motel Mozaïque was in town (Rotterdam), which is a festival where bands play throughout various clubs in the city and you can see them all with just a single ticket.
After two less than enjoyable bands and one that was quite enjoyable we stumbled upon a long line for the club we wanted to enter, so we hit the bar instead and decided to leave Motel Mozaïque for what it is.
Until the end of the night, when the line was gone, we entered, and we witnessed the electronic duo known as Real Lies.
No one knew Real Lies and we were all pleasantly surprised.
They're an electronic duo who sound very British (and indeed, they're from London), especially Underworld comes to mind.
I can't find much about them, except that they've recently released their second album and this track is from that album.
They still sounded awesome the next day, when I was sober, so SOTW

I can hear The Orb in it too.
Coincidentally, Little Fluffy Clouds was one of my favorite tracks for a long time
Not sure if it's been in the SOTW though, we're talking like 16 years ago... 👴
LiSa sounds like she's on some anime soundtrack I know, and indeed, she sings in Girls Dead Monster from Angel Beats!.
I'm not sure if she's in the anime or only on CD though.
They've even been featured in the SOTW The Lounge[^]

Nice one, although I've never played Ocarina of Time.
Only one I've ever played is the very first and Link to the Past.
I do love me some Gerudo Valley music though

The first chill song, and I'm in love! Fantastic! Thanks! Looking forward to the rest as I sit here making out an email!

Hello World,
I want to take this opportunity to address cryptic crosswords[^] that we frequently play on the site. Recently I saw a discussion about the puzzles. Some members were debating the ethics of using tools to assist with the game.
I have keenly[^] paid attention to the psychiatric research[^] being done around this topic. There are other papers published on the subject, same conclusion.
Using anagram solvers or word association tools is irrelevant.
The research around cryptic crosswords involves divergent thinking[^] and bisociation[^]. Using tools does not give any advantage at all, and it can be proven. The "game" is to find the logic, tools only give a speed advantage.
Deal with it.
Cryptographic Cheaters always win. --Alan Mathison Turing (he never said this, but I wish he did)

Personally, I tend to struggle enough just trying to decipher the clue. All the diverging bisociations are quite challenging enough as it is.  Anagrams muddy the water even more. (As an aside, I'm coming to suspect that ~73.639% of all English words can be a cryptic anagram indicator.)
Therefore, if I suspect the clue is an anagram, rather than expend more effort trying to rescramble the letters into a different word, quite possibly rather esoteric in and of itself, I "cheat" with an anagram solver - and quite shamelessly I might add.

That's why I posted about this topic. I'd like to see more people participate, there is no shame in using tools for code breaking[^]. It's great to find talent.
Use all the the tools at your disposal, ignore the losers. It's nothing but background noise, make yourself shine above the others.
We want to see you win, faster and better than the background noise.

I have in the past been fairly convinced the answer is an anagram and either I simply can't "get it" or don't have time. In that scenario, if I use an anagram solver, I haven't posted my solution as it definitely feels like cheating...
