Life is Strange 2

2025-02-16 by dino

Life is Strange 2 is a powerful narrative-driven game that promotes compassion and empathy. While not quite reaching the heights of its predecessor, it comes remarkably close. The story remains engaging throughout, featuring complex and well-developed characters.

We follow two brothers on their journey to freedom. The ride is full of obstacles that make them stronger, just like their brotherly connection.

During my 18-hour playthrough (and almost three months of sporadic playing during my free time), I found that although the pacing could have been tighter in places, the game's heartfelt message and emotional depth make it a compelling experience.

Highly recommended for fans of story-rich games.

Sous le Pavés la Plage

2025-02-10 by dino

Yesterday, I watched Strange Darling (2023), and it was both deeply disturbing and strangely captivating. The film was visually stunning, with breathtaking cinematography (done by Giovanni Ribisi, the actor), but what truly drew me in was the haunting soundtrack, composed by Z Berg. Her voice is absolutely mesmerizing, and the sounds she creates are truly unique. My favorite track is probably Sous le Pavé, la Plage, which I've played on repeat several times.

The entire soundtrack has such an immersive quality, and I can't get enough of it.

Debian, still the best OS for me

2025-02-09 by dino

It’s been almost two years since I last wrote about my operating system of choice, so I think it’s time to revisit the topic. With a new Debian release on the horizon in a few months, now feels like the perfect moment to share why Debian remains my favorite Linux distribution.

I’ve been using Linux exclusively on my computers since 2019, and for the past three years, Debian has been my daily driver. Over the years, I’ve experimented with various distributions, including Linux Mint, Ubuntu (and its MATE variant), Devuan (a Debian-based distro without systemd¹), EndeavourOS, Fedora, and openSUSE. While each has its strengths, I can confidently say that Debian stands out as the most reliable, rock-solid, and versatile Linux distribution I’ve used. It’s nearly impossible to break—something I can’t say for some other distros. For example, manually installing fonts in the /usr/share/fonts/ folder on Linux Mint would often lead to issues, but Debian handles such tasks effortlessly. Whether I’m installing multiple desktop environments or tinkering with system configurations, Debian just works. It’s like the honey badger of operating systems: unshakable, focused, and always getting the job done.

Pantera in Concert

2025-01-27 by dino

I don't often go to concerts anymore, but when a colleague asked me to go to a Pantera concert, I couldn't refuse. Pantera has been one of my favorite bands since my early youth in the 1990s, so of course, I seized the chance. A special thanks go to him.

Yesterday, I drove to Copenhagen and parked near the Royal Arena. From there, we walked to Field's mall to grab some food. We decided on pizza before heading back to the arena, ready for an evening of music. The opening act was Child Bite, an American punk/metal band, followed by thrash metal group Power Trip as special guests.

A simple, yet effective sign.

Dravco

2025-01-23 by dino

Prvi put čujem da je Zdravko Čolić (sada preimenovan u Dravco) pokušao se probiti na njemačko muzičko tržište kada je 1975. izdao mini ploču "Alles was ich hab". Meni ova verzija i ne zvuči tako loše.

Ali to nije sve! Naš Dravco je snimio singl i na engleskom jeziku 1978. godine - "I Am Not a Robot-Man". Pravi disco kitch hit.

I to je to. Nema se tu ništa više napisati.
