Frontier Ruckus is a band that I grew up alongside. I shamelessly plug them whenever I get a chance. They make music about the places I grew up and sing about it in a way that makes me feel so close to it. Their new album just came out, but their first 2 albums are their standout. The Orion Songbook and Deadmalls and Nightfalls.
I’ve been really enjoying Frontier Ruckus’s new album On The Northline.

Thank you very much for the recommendation. My father was going to buy a whole new boiler because he likes my Fellow Goose Neck so much. Hopefully he will take the recommendation. I told him I think it looks cool, so maybe he will listen.
Close Combat: A Bridge to Far. It’s a real time strategy game with a larger regional map where you control simple supply lines and troop movement between battlefields. My two brothers and I would sit and watch each other play for hours because we just had the one computer back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. We made a stupid rule that you had to be present to get your turn so we would often wait nearby for several hours for our chance at glory/survival.
Solid Sega Genesis game right there.
Its an investment in time, energy, and money l, but you truly get something one of a kind. They only open up the group buy about twice a year, so patience is key. So this might now work for you considering you need something soon, but the group buy keyboard world has some really cool options.
If you’re looking to start messing with switches, and modifying things seems intriguing, you can always look at building a board. I really like the Meletrix Zoom line. You have to wait for group buys, but you get a highly customizabled device.
I am a big fan of the F bomb that gets dropped in Dude Where’s My Car. Fed up crazy old grandma runs over the protagonists (if you can call them that) Then raises a middle finger and says something like "F’n stoners*. Classic.
That right there, is a jam.
Mine at least came with the 4 pack game of
But Sewer Shark was my first real game for Sega CD and my 2nd grade mind was not prepared. Young me thought I was dumb and couldn’t do it because I was little…nah that game is just rough.
Streets of Rage. I can hear the synthwave blasting from back in 1993.

I discovered this album while working for a hospice equipment rental company. It helped me understand the emotions of people going through such intense loss. It’s beautiful and ugly at the same time. It somehow manages to capture the full spectrum of emotions of that experience. This is one of the great albums of this millennium. I don’t know how the artist captured it so well, but I hope he found some relief from his hospice experience by creating that album. 10/10.
