I have fallen in love with DJ sets for ‘classic’ dance, City pop and just something chill that I can throw on in the background. This thread is going to be media heavy, as you can imagine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pu5ZGFWZ98

Who remembers the pirate radio station Energy 106 from the late 90s? Energy 106 was a dance, trance and EDM radio station based in Belfast but the mast for it was located on ‘Alien Mountain’ in Monaghan. They would shut down in the early 00s, and then not heard from for a while. They recently got as licence to broadcast on DAB digital radio and are working on getting their studio set up for live broadcasts. Here are some sets which have been uploaded to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VChq0ZDG5zw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjHl69rrj_8

I am part of a Steam Family Group and I noticed that there was a series of games called The Room, so I decided to check it out. They are point-and-click puzzle games that require you to unlock drawers, open books, solve puzzles in order to obtain items required for other puzzles. You have an eyepiece that can be used to uncover clues, solve mini puzzles and explore other dimensions There are 4 games in the series, each one evolving from the last. There is deep lore within the games, which I wasn’t all into, but it may be for others. Well worth it if you want to kill a few hours. I got them knocked out within a weekend. They are cheap enough (less than €20 currently) for the bundle of 4 games. Available on Steam Also on iOS, Android and Switch (Only the first 2 games though) Walkthrough of the first game (Visuals upgraded in later games): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N9YeVhc3hI

Anyone else listen to A State of Trance? I used pretty have it on repeat weekly a couple of years ago … I tend to dip in and out of it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMhqwVyH2VU

This is following on from the What is your main Operating System? thread. What Desktop Environment are you currently using? For myself, I am using KDE Plasma. I was not a fan of KDE back in the day and stuck to use XFCE after Ubuntu switched from GNOME 2.32. Ever since returning to Linux earlier this year, I decided to try out KDE with EndeavourOS and I really like how deep you can customise it to your own liking.
