Most of the music I listen to either doesn't come in albums, or is in a 40+ track OST. However, there are a few which I can say are enjoyable in their entirety.

UNDERTALE OST is 101 tracks, and while some of the tracks are ambient noise and sound effects, Like 93% of it is great. Basically anything Toby Fox does has a high rate of enjoyment from me.

Medium by Clark Powell is entirely a masterpiece—not only the individual tracks, but how they interact with one another, and what they represent to the story of their context.

Nothing Is Quick in the Desert by Public Enemy has a great listening experience, where nearly every track blends into the next. Not typical for the music I usually listen to.

It certainly isn't for everyone, but The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time is excellent. The middle section up until nearly the end can be pretty abstract, but there's a certain... bliss that can be derived from it.

There's more, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Makes me think of this overgrown pinky toe.

I thought surely this was a joke. ... I thought.

Eevee > Glaceon and Sylveon, Charcadet > Armarouge and Ceruledge, and I also like Genesect.

I think it's fair to pick a few with how many there are now.

Pretty sure it's a loofah.

That's a dried up ~~and nasty~~ sponge

Looks like loofah to me.

To play devil's advocate; being on your phone is an isolating activity, while watching the TV is generally more communal, and was especially so in the era in which Boomers have spent most of their life.

Millenials and most Gen Z have shows that everyone watched growing up, but that's going away increasingly, with on-demand streaming and customized feeds replacing the latter. I think it's a very obvious culprit of why young people today struggle to talk to one another.

I am Gen Z.

 

If you include non-humans, then Stan from Dog with a Blog is the second adult protagonist, albeit a dog.

*Raven's Home stars Raven-Symoné as an adult in-canon, but I'm reluctant to include it since it is a spin-off of Raven's teenage character in That's So Raven.

If you accept movies and works where there is a shared protagonist role, then you could count Freaky Friday and I assume its spin-offs.

 

I was eating some chocolate when I imagined a world where Hershey's was widely accepted, even by elitists, as the best chocolate.

Is consumer elitism just a facade for pretentious contrarians? Or are there things where even most snobs agree with the masses?

Also, I mean that the product is intrinsically considered to be the best option. I'm not considering social products where the user network makes the experience.

Edit: I was not eating Hershey's. Hershey's being the best chocolate is a bizarro universe in this hypothetical.

 

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
