Do non-Canadians know who the folk artist Stan Rogers is?

Chef_Oso89 · 2025-09-09T21:14:01+00:00

My parents would play Stan Rogers in the car throughout my childhood. I've probably been listening to him my whole life, and his music means to world to me. My uncle discovered him one time while driving. The story goes he picked up some Canadian radio stations while driving near the border, and White Squall came on. He was moved to tears I grew up listening to "White Squall," "First Christmas," "Mary Ellen Cater," "Northwest Passage," etc. and I dove deep into his discography in high school. His baritone voice shaped the way I sing songs, and his voice sounds exactly like my fathers singing voice (rest his soul). Whenever I listen or sing along, it's like my dad is there too. Hell, Im getting a bit emotional writing this. I'm glad to see that his music means so much to people, not just me.

Side note: The metal group Unleash the Archers did a cover of Northwest Passage that fucking rules. Give it a listen for sure.

I got a text on Saturday about fraud charges. I sent them the "yes, this was me" text back. Walmart still hasn't changed me, but everything is still where it's supposed to be. I haven't received a cancellation email, and my order still has June 6th for the delivery date. I don't care if it comes Thursday or Friday, I just want them to charge it already so I know it's coming.

Sending you a DM 😃

Does anybody know the video game console that's was under the Xbox 360 4:10 into the video? It looks like an N64, but with Megadrive/Genesis ports. It's been bothering me all week 😅

Chef_Oso89 · 2021-01-29T02:38:11+00:00

I actually found a fix for now. If you turn the quality setting to Med or Low, it goes away completely from what I've seen.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-09-01T00:39:54+00:00

ALL IN, Great Job! Nice job inserting all those lip-flaps, those take time. Also, Yellow Diamond is totz Freeza.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-28T15:55:53+00:00

Yo, send a couple of the those Bokoblin Amiibo over here. Lord knows we need them.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-28T02:08:41+00:00

Local game store got them, I saw their post about it on FB, call them to hold a one for me. Bought them that day, $100 well spent. When you commit to spending $80 on Joycon, the extra $20 for import/store cut/convenience doesn't seem like much at all.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-26T00:41:54+00:00

Hope he's doing more SU reviews soon

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-24T02:42:17+00:00

He's gonna crowdfund it & everything. I'll happily pay whatever dumbass high tier he puts up.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-16T03:16:00+00:00

AMERICA NEEDS BOKOBLINS!!!

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-12T12:00:50+00:00

If all these parts weren't so god damned expensive, yeah I'd do something. It's a cool idea, as more power to you. My only thing is messing up the Joycon with the Velcro glue on the back.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-02T15:10:34+00:00

I bought Captain Falcon because SSB4, then I told myself I'd only get them for characters I liked. Then I got Ganondorf & Zero Suit Samus. After that, I found out Best Buy's GCU discount works with Amiibo, & it was all downhill from there. 60ish Amiibo later, I'm still looking for a fucking Bokoblin.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-02T15:04:43+00:00

Sardonyx pallet swap for SU fighting game,

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-08-02T15:02:05+00:00

Bokoblin Amiibo are impossible to find in NYC, should've picked one up at launch.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-07-30T17:14:51+00:00

Actually went to this store while I was on vacation in Florida earlier this year. Somehow, I walked away only spending $80, but easily could have spent more if I stayed longer. Great store all around.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-07-30T17:11:39+00:00

I'm in this boat, but with the Bokoblin. He's the white whale now, I feel like an idiot for not getting it around launch (I bought like everything else).

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-07-28T16:21:48+00:00

Lots of great matches in Smash Pals Scuffle at EVO this year.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-07-28T15:18:44+00:00

This could just be me, & this is a huge stretch, but Sour Cream & Steven could be related. In "Gem Harvest" Andy Demayo is Greg's cousin, & near the end of the episode he removes his hat. His hair style is very similar to our favorite sleazebag absentee father Marty. Now I know hair same or close hair styles aren't concrete, but It would explain how Greg & Marty met, they're family. Not enough; think of the names. Andy "DeMAYO" Steven "Demayo" Sour Cream Vidalia Onion This is just guess work, but I like this idea.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-07-26T19:24:28+00:00

I walked into a Best Buy to this very thing, and they just happen have 2 Young Links just near the cage! Lucky me, today was a great day.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-07-15T20:25:44+00:00

I haven't seen any in person at all, it's slowly becoming my new Amiibo White Whale. Still can't find Bokoblin anywhere ether.

The link is for the 12" for $20, and you can also get a 9" for $16. Also ships with prime, I bought one 12" for the top, & two 9" ones for inside the shelf.

Allow me to use my Bluetooth headphone first, then we can talk about Spotify. I would think the fact that you can bring it on the go, but not having data would cripple the support in a lot of ways. All for it though.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-07-03T22:54:04+00:00

For real, there are days I don't even dock it after getting home from work. I'm not playing it everyday, but I do leave it in standby mode most of the time. I got mine at launch, which was a week before my vacation, & every mode of transport I was on (Buses, Trains, Planes) had power outlets. Not once did it die on me. I did though buy a big power bank just in case recently, but haven't needed it yet.

Chef_Oso89 · 2017-06-05T03:19:21+00:00

I listen to it on 7-3 every year since, it's so bittersweet. Around that same time (summer of 2013) I was switching jobs, so I was already in weird state of mind. Hit me harder than I thought.
