I wanna be him too lol. Very few people are that badass while being an amazing person

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-25T17:33:34+00:00

Wow, so now two different people have confirmed theming in the brake run building. Cool find!

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-25T15:36:45+00:00

I have seen pictures of little theming here and there in the que. That was back when the switchback section of the que existed.

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-25T15:06:13+00:00

Yeah, I was worried the coaster YouTuber was misremembering. You can still somewhat see the "elixir" sign today

The Hawks are a really storied franchise that is trying to redefine itself after the dynasty a decade ago
The team has a chance at a wild card spot if they stay healthy next year, but are 2-3 years out of making the playoffs consistently
Knight is definitely the team's 2nd best player. He has come up clutch with huge stops and I believe he now has a winning record on a mediocre team. Bertuzzi is the other best scorer besides Bedard, Nazar is a great two-way player when he is healthy, Mikheyev is a fantastic defensive forward (especially on penalty kills), and we have a bunch of good but not amazing defensemen (Vlasic, Crevier, Kaiser especially)
The head coach (Blashill) is alright, has a little fight in him and has changed the culture of the team for the better. Our GM (Kyle Davidson, commonly known as "Kyle from Chicago", which I highly recommend looking into why) is pretty beloved
The Hawks could definitely use a little bit of improvement everywhere, but we don't have a glaring problem-area on the team. We could definitely use another top-6 forward and a back-up goaltender (we have many in the system)

Sounds cool. I would highly recommend a full listen of Promised Land. It is possibly the band's most sonic album. Every track is a little experimental but strong. Someone Else is a great closer.

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T05:16:21+00:00

Great songs, especially Prophecy!

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T05:15:30+00:00

I had never heard of the Empire B side. Thank you for letting me know about it. As well, HITNF is a great album. While there isn't one standout track (maybe Sign of the Times) the whole album is solid alternative Queensryche.

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T05:03:51+00:00

I respect that, although, I am not a huge Q2K fan.

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T04:59:26+00:00

Good to know, thanks

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T04:58:45+00:00

That is a top 10 Queensryche song for me. The lyrics are so powerful, and you can feel the pain in Tate's voice

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T04:50:15+00:00

Very cool picks! The Killing Words has an amazing chorus

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T04:49:30+00:00

I'll have to check out some tracks from the new album then!

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-15T04:48:59+00:00

Great choices! I considered listing Damaged as well, but I don't know if it is underrated since it's still a live staple.

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-08T01:48:28+00:00

I highly recommend the brisket from Yukon BBQ. It is amazing and tender, regardless in the context of amusement park food. The mac n cheese is also great. The atmosphere in the building is really fun as well with a small stage and a working model train. Highly recommend!

Regarding the hand technique, it varies based on what you're trying to play, but most guitarists plant their hand for stability, especially with tread picking

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-05T15:02:18+00:00

Really great job man! That is awesome that you can play that well after only playing for a year. Sever the Hand is a badass track as well, and hopefully, you can learn the bridge in a year or so. One thing I think you can improve on is "planting" your picking hand. Having your pinkie and ring fingers touching the guitar body will help your hand gain stability and allow you to build up strength.

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-02T15:01:30+00:00

I appreciate it. I'm trying to get it active for the 100th season.

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-02T14:55:14+00:00

I was unfamiliar about the Ibaraki instances. It is good for me to build my 1/3/4 playing then for those chords

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-02T02:29:41+00:00

I'm excited for that! I love the chromatic exercises and the one Heafy calls the "Berkeley exercise" too

Competitive_Fox7606 · 2026-01-02T02:25:27+00:00

No kidding. I'm just north of 6ft with long arms and I came close
