If you haven't seen the movie this was written for, do check it out!

World's Greatest Dad - A very dark comedy starring the late Robin Williams.

KEXP in Mexico City has had some pretty phenomenal bands in recent months!

I love their face masks.

Also, if you're curious about this sort of thing, the guitar and bass are made by Maton (Australian).

In the interest of grabbing data points to plan for some tools for you all, I'm curious what the ratio of users are around here.

How many of y'all are strictly Game mode users, and how many of y'all use it like a laptop?

A lot of what I do on the Deck requires Desktop mode, mainly to get at a terminal and to configure Steam for pirated games. However, that doesn't mean I couldn't devise a tool that launches from Game mode to do the same things.

I suspect the latter is going to end up being something that I need to build to be the most useful to a wider audience, but for being pirates I'm sure most of you have entered Desktop mode numerous times for one reason or another.

Just found this place, I dig it! I do gamedev on my Steam Deck, and I'm also a systems engineer. I have a repository of all sorts of Arch based things for pirates that are somewhat specific to Steam Deck ('cause Valve does some weird shit in the name of convenience, but I get it, people don't buy this machine to be a laptop like I did).

Any who, now that I've found this place I may put together more of my scripts into an easier to digest format and throw it up on Codeberg or something.

For now, I'll point you all towards a tool that I found on GitHub. I have a fork that I wrapped with a bash script to make life easier when it comes to grabbing FitGirl repacks. I've made a Pull Request to get it merged into the original repository, but my fork will probably be kept up to date more frequently (I don't know the original maintainer).

My Fork: https://github.com/madamegaymes/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader

Original tool: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader

My PR: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader/pull/2

What does the tool do?

1. You give it a FitGirl game URL (or several URLs)
2. It scrapes all the fuckingfast direct download links
3. Passes all that to python to download each part automatically

It probably isn't bug-free, I made these tweaks for myself and just today decided to try to get it merged into the original tool. I have ideas on how to make the tool much, much easier to use, so feel free to let me know if you run into issues!

The README should have the details, but I can add more if something is not clear. I'm not sure what the average level of tech savvy is in this community yet.

[Martina Topley-Bird:]

I'm looking for you in the woods tonight, I'm looking

Looking for you in my flashlight, I'm searching

From in the high or down the ocean

And I face myself in reason

Gain the wolf

Gain the wolf

.

Conjure me as a child

Slipping down a wet side

Stretch up, I cannot reach him

Jumping up, they drag him from the water

I watch them march him into life

I watch them take him from the pain

Into the sky for your eagle eye

The sun seeds a sickle and a scythe

.

Ridicule they won't allow

Quench abuse and let love flower

Rip the cage out of your chest

Let the chaos rule the rest

Show without showing

What you know without knowing

Twigs snap, I catch

No canoe, only you and me

Alone on the old teal sea

.

Dissolving who we are

Call out for yesterday's destiny gone

We're on a foreign shore

It was the mark of falling

I was the car still running

And when you call I'll be your shield for life

And if you feel it, you'll fly

The sunset begging me

.

And I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

We are saints made of plaster, our laughter is canned

We are demons that hide in the mirror

But the blood on our hands

Paints a picture exceedingly clear

.

We are brimming with cumbersome, murderous greed

And malevolence deep and profound.

We do unspeakable deeds

Does our wickedness know any bounds?

.

Something’s gone terribly wrong

With everyone

All the world is mad

Darkness brings terrible things

The sun is gone

What vanity! Our sad, wretched fires

.

We can’t medicate man to perfection again

We can’t legislate peace in our hearts

We can’t educate sin from our souls

It’s been there from the start

.

But the blind lead the blind into bottomless pits

Still we smile and deny that we’re cursed

But of all our iniquities

Ignorance may be the worst

.

Something’s gone terribly wrong

With everyone

All the world is mad

Darkness brings terrible things

The sun is gone

What vanity! Our sad, wretched fires

.

Oh little light we have!

It only serves to show

The snares and seeds of wrath

We have already sewn on every path

.

Something’s gone terribly wrong

With everyone

All the world is mad

Darkness brings terrible things

The sun is gone

What vanity! Our sad wretched fires.

but also, RIP the real king: Steve Albini

I've tried many many times to set the NSFW tag, but it isn't working... added to title

The new age is upon us

And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave

For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man

shall stand before God!!! It has begun

The beginning of the end

Yeah..

Yeah... yeah, yeah

.

The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish

A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist

Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond

And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran

They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam

When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran

This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings

Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings

I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish

The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ

You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white

Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy

Conservative political right wing, ideology

Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation

Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination

Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration

How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?

Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves

Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm

You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?

Human rights violations, we continue the saga

El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua

And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison

Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

.

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Read about the history of the place that we live in

And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

.

Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs

Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage

The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage

Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension

And they refuse to even mention, European intervention

Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams

U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's

Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams

Media censorship, blocking out the video screens

A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain

Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'

The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason

A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'

And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom

Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon

It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib

Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid

Where nobody gives a f*ck whether you die or you live

I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life

But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique

Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks

You don't give a f*ck about us, I can see through your facade

Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God

Bitch n****z scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

.

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you

While you hanging your flag out your project window

.

Yeah..

The fourth branch of the government AKA the media

Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials

As if their opinion was at all unbiased

A machine shouldn't speak for men

So shut the f*ck up you mindless drone!

And you know it's serious

When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign

To try to convince you they're fair and balanced

When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people

Giving that type of mentality a safe haven

We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do

We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!

We don't get weapons contracts, n****!

We don't get cheap labor for our companies, n****!

We are cheap labor, n****!

Turn off the news and read, n****!

Read... read... read...

On their long journey that leads them

Towards the light,

Winston Smith shall be their guide.

They′re trying so hard to believe

That two and two always makes five.

(That two and two makes five.)

.

Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth.

And if there′s contradiction,

Keep the faith, burn the proof.

.

To protect ourselves from the

Superstitions of priests and moralists and the

Trickery of evangelists;

Let us be done with the idea

Of moral law.

.

Where do your values come from?

From inside yourself?

Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes

Who disguised their own ideas

As universal concepts?

.

God is dead.

I love their music and lyrics, but I also hate how accurate they've always been.
