I'm playing & reading thru Shadowrun Hong Kong on stream again today at https://twitch.tv/andreaen .
Been a little bit since I picked this up, let's see what I can remember.

Rough subtitles for the 1988 found footage horror film Psychic Vision: Jaganrei were linked on Reddit earlier today & that gave me the excuse I needed to watch it.
Watched in very low quality on youtube. Jaganrei is directed by Teruyoshi Ishii and written by Chiaki J. Konaka (!).
Unexpected supernatural events occur while a reporter and her crew are filming a behind-the-scenes piece on the production of an idol's new single.
There's a passage near the end where a crew assembles a set for a music video and all I could think was: this is it, it's all about to go wrong & you're building your own hell.
It's short, 45 minutes or around there. Really nails the particular tone of cursed documentary. It's kind of great? I liked it well enough anyway (though I haven't thought too hard about it).
I will say I laughed out loud the first time they mentioned the name of the song they're working on.

The second half of Dwell 2 episode 2 does not mess around. It was really challenging on hard (skill 2). The boss fight in particular can get out of control really fast.
Really good maps, good stuff.

Window managers and taskbars use WM_CLASS to set resources or change behavior for windows on systems running X Windows. Newer versions of Wine set WM_CLASS to the process name, e.g. "Renoise.exe". According to this commit from 2019 wine-proton sets WM_CLASS to "steam_app_" plus the content of the environment variable "SteamAppId" or "steam_proton" if that env variable is empty. This means that if you use proton without using Steam (like me) then every program you run through Wine will have the same icon.
Fortunately this is very easy to fix. I write wrapper shell scripts for the MS Windows software I use anyway so it's simple enough to set "SteamAppId" to a value for each program (and then specify icons for the now-unique WM_CLASS). A probably unnecessary example:

I spent some time digging into this a few days ago after installing WindowMaker & being annoyed that I couldn't set icons for the different MS Windows programs I use.

The second disc (CD2 at that same Bandcamp page) is also very good and is more chill, sleepy.
I once spent most of a summer listening to the ambient pieces from this album on repeat while playing Morrowind. A good memory, was a good time.

Listened to this a few times today:
Excellent ambient / dub techno album from 2011. Distant and hazy. Used to be very hard to get but is now (thankfully) available digitally.
Techno & dub techno today, from regular to a little weird. Throwing a bunch of things at the wall to see what sticks. This mix features new tracks by Skee Mask and Serge Geyzel as well as classics by (for example) Monolake and T++.

I felt like doing a bit of desktop / user interface customization so I installed WindowMaker a few days ago. First time I've played with it in over a decade. It's still good, still kinda weird. Fun to play with.

I like this one way more than the previous comp "A". It works well listening straight through, had it on in the background while writing something.
This comp (and some of Skee Mask's other work) gives me a kind of Second Toughest In The Infants-era Underworld vibe. Not sure why exactly.
Track 10 "JPP263" is wild.

Listening to Skee Mask's "B" comp today. I didn't spot this when it was released in December so it's new to me, just picked it up.
Breaks & electro for this first show of year 7. A couple tracks from Frustrated Funk, one from SCSI-AV, and a whole stack of Satamile NYC. A revisit or rework of an older mix from this series, MTT 048 Sonic Team.
