Week 41: a slow one

Weeknote #41.25, from October 06 to October 12.

Published on October 13, 2025.

It was a bit difficult to engage with the notes for this week. I probably forgot some things worth highlighting here.

I finally learned how to hybrid pick on the guitar! What unlocked it for me was doing triplets, doing alternate picking beginning with an up-pick and using the "momentum" from the down-pick to comfortably hit the 3rd note in a separate string. Whew!

Full spin of Butterfly 3000 by King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard. Sweet synth goodness.
Went the other end of King Gizz' spectrum, with PetroDragonic Apocalypse. Thrashy prog metal madness.
Keeping on the Prog Metal line, I felt like revisiting Dream Theater's Train Of Thought. Outrageous musicianship. A classic at this point.
Thanks to the finale of Peacemaker, Foxy Shazam's Oh Lord was in constant rotation!

The season 2 (or series?) finale of Peacemaker, "Full Nelson". Loved the Foxy Shazam's 'Oh Lord'-powered montage, the Adebayo and wife scene (wonderfully shot and acted), and how the characters ended up.
The season 4 (or series?) final of The Bear. Ended on a great note and if it's really the end I'd be satisfied. I can see how it could keep going and it would also be nice, though. "You are The Bear". Wow.
Together on LAB111. A surprisingly great time! Very fun despite being a body-horror movie. My review.

"Finished" Hades II; it's obvious (and quite impressive) that there's still lots to discovery, explore, and enjoy even after rolling the credits. My review.
Started Megabonk on Steam. Pretty much Vampire Survivors in 3D with a funny edge. Pure fun.
