"Between Two Fires" is so good, I think about it a lot. From the same author (although, in a very different vein) I really enjoyed The Blacktongue Thief.

> King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard took their discography off Spotify for ideological reasons, and I support their decision to follow their morality in doing so, but it does put me in a conundrum due to the phenomenal size of their catalogue. I've bought some, but definitely not all. Just gonna have to grind through it, although they seem to put new music out faster than my monthly purchase quota.

FYI, they have their entire discography in bandcamp[0] for "name your price", including $0.

I have no idea what he's talking about most of the time but I can't stop watching.

it has the same button layout as the Xbox, or what do you mean? which is wrong, btw, the only good layout is the OG Nintendo layout :)

I've been using Copilot these past days and it's kind of mindblowing. I was doing some Rails tests, and after writing the factories it suggested me the exact right expectations. Did not expect that, kind of scary. Same for suggesting while commenting code. Wtf.

I'd love to keep using it, but I'm way too familiarized with Sublime Text to change now (and I tried to customize VsCode). I know it's a long shot, but it'd be great if they release an extension for Sublime.

Replying to this just because I saw it ended with "Thanks".
