Great post/format. It feels like I'm a kid reading the gaming news magazines at the grocery store again.
I've been playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I like it and the changes they made since Blind Forest, but I'm also feeling frustrated by repeatedly getting lost, even with quest markers. It's tiring to waste so much time traversing the map just to find out I have to go back... somewhere else. Never had this problem when playing Blind Forest.

I'm interested in knowing the titles you're playing, if you care to list them.
Black metal - - - > witch house
I got burnt out on the new black metal I was hearing, it was all too dissonant and samey to me. Still enjoy the older stuff I grew up with, though.
Witch house has a similar raw energy and dark/sad/dreamy mood that I like in my music.
It's hard to pick just one. Electric Wizard - Funeralopolis is absolutely a contender. Here are a few more that stand out for me:
Primitive Man - Victim (NSFW)
Katharsis - Wytchdance (the riff starting at 3:57, relentless and hypnotic. This band always made me think of Destruction but much darker)
Necrophagia - Dead Skin Slave (a little cheesy but the rhythm changes in the second half go hard)
Spawn of Possession - A Presence Inexplicable (the slowdown in the breakdown then gradual tempo increase, chef's kiss)
Heaviest live show I've ever witnessed
Chrono Break
I wrote to the show Video & Arcade Top 10 and they sent me a copy of Super Mario 64.
It's a tough question to answer. Generally I just prefer "sad" music no matter what my mood is, but I can't deny feeling happy every time I hear Van Halen - Panama. I wouldn't say sad music makes me sad in the same way.
I also think it's hard to put a lot of music into emotional categories. Sometimes it's not obvious, or it checks multiple boxes, or has a different meaning depending when you listen to it in life.
They look good!
Did you use bread pans to help them keep that shape? Asking because mine have been turning out more flat and wide using a baking tray, unsurprisingly I guess.
It's pretty difficult for a movie to feel truly scary to me, and it's been ages since I saw it, but Darkness Falls sticks out in my mind. I think the whole hanging from the ceiling/clinging to the shadows thing is a big part of it. Unfortunately, like with most movies, the fear of the unknown fades the more we get to see "the monster", but the buildup in the first half was good as I remember it.
My Linux Mint Cinnamon won't boot up. It's getting stuck on this screen and I don't know what to do to proceed. Before this screen appears it shows the LM logo for a moment.
I'm a total noob and just been using this for a month or two. Did not make any recent changes that I can recall.
I always wanted to try this game when I was a kid. When checking out reviews on Steam I noticed someone mention that Sega was giving it away for free for their 60th anniversary (a few years ago), and that website is still up and running. Long story short, I tried it and it works. Replacing the localhost part of the URL was necessary as the screenshot mentions.
Getting emails faster than you can read and respond to them, and they are all urgent exceptions.
Meetings that could have been emails, wasting your time while the real emails continue to stack up.
Askng important questions (via email) and getting ignored, or only some of the questions addressed.
Visits from the newest suit talking about how great their new ideas will be, just like the last one who said the same thing and was replaced after 6 months.
It is a lot like the movie Office Space, except in current times instead of one job you're doing the work of 2.5 people and making less than Peter did in 1999.
