We lost all of that stuff when the international Network got pulled a while back. I ripped all of the Nitro and Thunder episodes from the period I cared about (basically 1995 - 1998), but didn't bother with much from 1999 - 2001. Just a handful of episodes here and there.

Hard to understand why they wouldn't let Cena do a full-time final run. Maybe they didn't want a nostalgia run to overshadow the rest of the product for a year? I kind of get it, but at the same time... it's John Cena. There's a way to make it work, to weave it into storylines to enhance them...

Whilst I enjoyed Triple H's time as booker in NXT, I have to admit I've never been hugely impressed with his main roster booking. It's not that he's a bad booker, as such - everything he does is logical and he generally pushes the right people. The problem is that I find Triple H's WWE too...

I see Mick Foley has come out and said he won't work with WWE or renew his legends deal for as long as they associate with Trump. Good for him - easy to say he doesn't have much to lose, but anyone sticking their head above the parapet in the current US political climate deserves respect.

Glad I'm not a serious PC gamer. those guys seem to get fleeced on the regular. Granted many of them can afford to waste their money, but still. I do have a very high spec PC, but I'll be using that for 6 or 7 years now as is. Unlikely I'll be upgrading unless a part fails. In the past I've only...

That may be the endgame, but they're some way from that at the moment. Still too much autonomous control amongst the population. I think they'll authorise universal credit if it benefits the long-term plan of increasing dependency and compliance - which it unquestionably will. First , strip...

The idea that keeps getting floated is "universal credit", where if AI does make a significant amount of jobs obsolete, states will provide citizens with money to continue living their lives. It's seen as some kind of utopian ideal where ordinary citizens can choose what to do without the worry...

I pretty much feel the same way. I don't mind sharing stuff that I think sounds cool, but I'd never distribute it. My prompts are often very simple, and even though I put some effort into the lyrics in terms of their structure and flow, that's not enough to justify releasing an entire music...

He's done this previously as well, although not showing other people involved. As I say, hopefully this time he's in the right frame of mind to finish the job. I'd love to hear it. Once that's ticked off, maybe his long promised revival of DZ will happen.

He's been talking about a solo album on and off since he left IF. Hopefully he's finally at a place in his life where he can finish it and get it out there.

As far as Power Metal is concerned, there have been some cool new bands I've discovered over the past few years. Powerwolf - even though their schtick gets kind of old after a couple of albums. Beast in Black, although idk why it's taken them so long to release a follow up to Dark Connection...

We can only hope that with AI essentially taking the place in the market for bang average music that any idiot could churn out, what's left in terms of genuine artists will see a huge boost in creativity and making an effort to stand out. Bands like Cyhra and In Flames, coasting on bland shit...

There's been a lot of angst about people using the likes of Suno to generate music, but the fact is individuals using these services was never going to be a major concern. There's a ceiling to what the vast majority of individual users are ever going to achieve with this. For most it'll just be...

I just want some local versions to be released. There's a local version of Stable Diffusion and even ChatGPT, although you need a stupid amount of RAM for the bigger ChatGPT model (64GB is the minimum, I think). Just waiting for somebody to release something open source which gives us something...
