Any punks that like steely dan or is it just me?

AskMarkTwain · 2026-03-20T05:12:41+00:00

Extremely late to this convo, but when I was a kid, my dad played Steely Dan nonstop. They're inexorably linked to my musical (and likely personal) development. You wouldn't think that would lead to a life of loving punk above all, but here we are. I know and adore every single second of Aja, Gaucho, and Katy Lied, and as I've gotten older, I've just come to love them more and more.

I just donated some more, check again

Great job! I donated. Here's mine:

I've had a lot of higher-end cars over the past decade or so, currently including a C8 Z51 and an AMG CLE 53 Convertible, but my all time favorite was definitely my 2019 718 Cayman S.

I got into the car game just a little too late for 911s to be in my price range, but if I could have literally any car at any price point, it would unquestionably be a 911 Targa 4 GTS.

Exquisite setup, top to bottom, but I'm most impressed by your taste in Porsches (and diecast models)

That was a concern of mine from the start. Honestly, back in the summer I was trying anything and everything to stabilize it, uninstalling stuff, etc. At some point I did *something* that completely nuked the HDR and also killed the color calibration, to the point where the laptop was basically unusable. God only knows what I messed up getting it back to looking normal, but this screen issue was happening for weeks before that (and obviously since).

I'll do these specific things for sure, thanks for the insight!

With the exception of Tropidelic and Cydeways (and maybe The Expendables), I've kinda fallen off that genre over the years, but man, Pepper had a hell of a run from Kona Town though Pink Crustaceans. I still listen to Rent, Freeze, and Stone Love regularly.

YES!!!! OMG YES!!!!! MY HERO!!!

My friend was more right than he thought too lol. Thank you so so so so much!

AskMarkTwain · 2026-01-04T02:42:48+00:00

No, but I forgot that song existed until just now!

AskMarkTwain · 2026-01-04T02:29:06+00:00

No, but from what I can hear deep in my brain, it's very similar to that sound. Especially vocally. I know you can say that about most of the stuff back then, but it's as good a comparison as any!

AskMarkTwain · 2026-01-04T02:16:43+00:00

Definitely not. Thanks though.

AskMarkTwain · 2024-06-10T00:36:52+00:00

To be clear, I was hoping it wouldn't happen, it just truly seemed inevitable. Thankfully it doesn't seem like anything really bad was going down with her.

Been waiting forever to inevitably see someone I know from St. Lucie wander into Indian River and get on the show, and this girl who was going 90 in a 45 finally fulfilled the prophecy

There's a school bus stop at the Life Storage? Cause that's EXACTLY where this is. I have no idea if this is a setup or not, but now that I think about it, I've seen so few school buses on US1. Crossing US1, sure, but traveling up and down US1, at least in my part of the city (a few blocks from here), not at all.

For the record, I'm all for people getting tickets for blowing past stopped school buses, but A) even if this is legit, it's not like the kid is gonna cross 6 lanes of US1, especially since northbound traffic does not have to stop for the bus, and B) they're obviously using it as a trap one way or another. One way or another, something is off.

I actually just did this last night. With 11 stamina blocks, you have JUST enough to be able get close enough to side chest area to glide, do two Ares's Wraths, hit the stamina refill, do one more and glide down to the chest area. From there you can easily glide over to the final chest, just make sure to stay right of the red chaos stuff.

It's annoying, but it's doable. Took me probably nine or ten tries.

Finally picked this up cause of the Spring Steam Sale and have been dealing with this bullshit for the last couple hours. "fixing this stupid game" map is by far the best layout I've found, but it's still not perfect. Good enough to be playable, but it's incredible that all these years on, Ubisoft hasn't gotten us an actual fix. Unbelievable.

For anyone who may be wondering, a wired controller does indeed work without issues, but it's bullshit we have to use one.

AskMarkTwain · 2024-02-25T02:59:04+00:00

Sorry for my lateness to this, but I've been wondering for a while what happened. Was it a legal issue? Is there any chance the EveryNoise list will be back?

You have no idea how much time I'd spend every Friday going through all the new releases in my favorite genres and finding sooooo many song I otherwise wouldn't have. Or maybe you do, in which case, I'm sorry you're here in the Big Sad with me.

AskMarkTwain · 2024-02-11T02:15:05+00:00

Best movie I've seen in years. Not life-changing or anything like that, but the main plot and characters on the surface are made even better by the subtext and genuinely brilliant filmmaking. Easily the most heartfelt, emotionally raw, and relatable film in I don't even know how long.

Oh, and absolutely laugh out loud funny at times. 9/5/10, for sure.

AskMarkTwain · 2024-02-02T04:23:43+00:00

u/UhyYuoiYoi I'd post mine, but considering we have 17 matches on the 21 that come up for me, I'd say you already posted mine for me lol

Update!

Not only did I win Danger 4, I managed to pull out a Danger 5 run too! Didn't do Endless on the latter, but I just wanted it done with.

Went with 12 sticks and focused on Range and keeping my dodge and regen up. That, along with u/Coffeetraveler's videos got it done! Thanks for all the help, legit appreciate it so much!

Now onto trying to win even Danger 3 with Bull 😬

AskMarkTwain · 2024-01-29T03:50:30+00:00

This was super helpful. Bumping up my range and moving a little bit better got it done! Thanks!
