Skkra recommends… Origins by Emil Rottmayer!
Well… enjoy this one, loyal readers. Emil Rottmayer is one of my favorite electronic artists. He tends to do extremely chill synthwave – a genre I’m crazy about – better and more consistently than almost anyone, and this track is no exception. There isn’t much to say. I can praise the usual: excellent composition, high…

Skkra recommends… Borderlands 1!
I originally got into Borderlands because a friend bought me Borderlands 2. And first of all, man, thank god she did. Borderlands has become one of my favorite game series of all time. I’ve sunk literally thousands of hours into playing. Borderlands 1, the original, was actually the LAST Borderlands game that I’ve played. People…

Skkra recommends… Melissa!
So this friend – lets call her Melissa – was asking me a couple weeks if I remembered doing an old post about her. I did not. That said, my old site is gone, so maybe she deserves another tribute. What can you say about Melissas? They come in all varieties, such as the Little…

Skkra recommends… CharBroil infrared grills!
No, this isn’t a paid promotion, I swear! Yes, I DO get hundreds of marketers contacting me every day, begging for me to mention them here, but skkra.net never takes a dime from advertisers. I’ve had CharBroil infrared grills for years now, and they’re spectacular. I first got one on the recommendation of my then…

Skkra recommends… custom t-shirts!
I’ve been on a custom shirt kick lately. And honestly, now I don’t see a reason to wear much else. Unless it’s something you REALLY love – like, I love Borderlands, for example – just get them custom. You can surely find a local t-shirt shop that will print whatever you want, and it’s literally…

Skkra recommends… avoiding SEO!
My god, wordpress will not shut up about SEO. Search Engine Optimization. You know what, SEO? Screw you. I don’t need stupid google to help me get my massive page hits. The way to build an audience isn’t through random searches – it’s by posting quality content day after day. Say, since 2001, for example.…

Skkra recommends… American Spirit Yellow!
If you’re going to smoke cigs, you should be smoking American Spirit Yellows. There is basically no other cigarette. The smoke nice and long, so you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. They’re delicious, without any of that harsh chemical taste you get from Malboro or Camel. They come in about 500 different flavors and varieties.…

Skkra recommends… heat lamps!
If you have an oft-used outdoor space and don’t have one of these, you’re only hurting yourself. These things are amazing for just chilling out, for huddling around and chaining cigs while you’re hammered, or just for making people named Melissa happy. They’re only like $300, so unless you’re living on paychecks of $299, you’re…

Skkra recommends… Honda CRV!
Am I possibly biased because I drive this car? Yes. Does that change my recommendation? No. This is a great car for a great price, and you can get as many or few options as you want. Heated seats? Screw it, who needs em. Heated SIDEVIEW MIRRORS? Why? It’s like $3000 extra to add them.…

Skkra recommends… avoiding white lighters!
Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be a myth. It’s not. They’re bad luck. The only time I decided, hey, fuck it, I’m going to use a white lighter, things did not go well. The next day, a friend of ours was randomly pulled over and arrested. Was it worth it to light that cigarette…
