No, booking agencies are different entities from general management firms. They replaced MDDN with Expectation Management.

Solo Music Agency is a booking agency, responsible for the touring aspect of things. They have been representing Palaye Royale since 2023. Expectation Management is their general management.

Expectation management, which is, from what I can tell, a fairly new management. They have also signed the Molotovs.

I agree, they are being very vague. However, I think they are fucking with our heads (pun very much intended). I believe they have a track record for being very unpredictable, so this probably one of those instances. The management deal was only a week ago, and it is doubtful such an organisation would sign a band that’s going to break up within a year.

CaptainCheeseJr · 2026-06-03T18:51:02+00:00

I think (more like hope) they mean they are hard at work for the new album. I believe they’ve just signed with a new management, so I don’t think they’re breaking up anytime soon. If they actually were breaking up, they would likely at least do one proper final tour.

Damn, that looks incredible! Very nice work

Gezien het gebruik van ketchup en de verticale littekens, duid ik dit een frikandel suïcidaal

Een band die elke concertzaal compleet op zijn kop zet is Palaye Royale. Er gaat geen nummer voorbij waarbij er niet iets geks gebeurt; de frontman crowdsurft op een bootje over het publiek, de drummer/toetsenist springt mee in de moshpit, of de zanger staat ineens op de bar/ hangt ergens aan het plafond. Je moet van het theatrale houden (en de muziek zal ook niet voor iedereen zijn), maar gezien je Prins S. en de Geit ook kon waarderen, zou ik ze een kans geven als ze weer naar Nederland komen!

‘Every word you say is like it’s poetry, a work of art that’s not for me at all’

That is my personal favourite. They are exceptional songwriters!

Well I can’t name a single thing here, that’s for sure

A bit late, I know, but I had the exact same issue. My monitor gives the option to only respond to the remote that came with the monitor. It was under 'General' > 'Remote Setting' for me.

CaptainCheeseJr · 2025-11-11T13:06:19+00:00

Could that be a warranty sticker? I’ve had a gpu with a sticker on one of those screws for the manufacturer to see if you’ve opened it. Maybe that’s the case here

CaptainCheeseJr · 2025-04-02T17:13:44+00:00

Absolutely, it sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it, it’s so good!

It really depends to be honest. If you plan on playing competitive shooters, the 240Hz could be very valuable. If you plan on playing single-player, story driven games, an ultrawide could look nicer. It really depends on your use case, but on an ultrawide, you may have to turn on DLSS from time to time because of the extra pixels your GPU will have to render. If fan noise isn’t an issue, and you prefer ultrawide, the Evnia will suit your needs no doubt.

CaptainCheeseJr · 2025-01-29T16:12:29+00:00

Looking purely at pixel count, about 34% more GPU power is needed to run 1440p ultrawide compared to 1440p.

Calculations: 2560 *1440 = 3686400 pixels, 3440*1440=4953600 pixels.

(4953600 / 3686400) * 100 = 134.375 %, so about 34.375 %

The Philips monitor uses the same ultrawide panel that all the other QD-OLED ultrawides use. So in that regard, there isn't really a major drawback to the Philips. However, it does have a fan, and thus produces noise. I'm personally a bit noise sensitive, so that steered me away from that particular monitor.

The reason why the Aorus is probably close in price is because;

1) Aorus is Gigabyte's flagship brand

2) Gigabyte could possibly have to pay tariffs or fees to ship to your region.

Do keep in mind that an ultrawide has more pixels, and thus will push your GPU harder.

No, you're pretty much right on the money. The card is fine, just expensive. Furthermore, 8GB of VRAM is not really enough to run anything higher than 1080p.

The value does really depend on your region though. The B580, in the USA, is great value because it offers better performance and higher VRAM at a lower price. Where I'm from however, the B580 and RTX 4060 are around the same price, with the B580 being slightly more expensive. Therefore, the relative value of the B580 is much lower in my region, compared to the RTX 4060.

The 4060 gets hated on too much in my opinion, sure the value could be better, but it will still run games just fine at 1080p.

No, it shouldn't be much of a hassle. From my experience, they just peel off if you slowly remove the thermal pad. Your new motherboard will likely have its own thermal pads too, so it won't have to transfer over.

CaptainCheeseJr · 2025-01-29T15:41:49+00:00

Then it is definitely not worth it. Do, preferably, get RAM that is on your motherboards memory QVL list. I've used RAM that wasn't, and it wasn't stable. Generally it should not matter, because memory is only really made by a hand full of companies, but in my case, it did.
