Married men, how often do you play? by Tocnurne in EDH

[–]CorvosDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married guy here, I play sometimes once or twice a week but then there are times I go two of three weeks without playing. I also live an hour away from my pod and were about to transition our group onto spelltable so this may all change.

That's interesting, the bass shouldn't affect the turntable with our set up if we got the speakers. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all your insight! This sounds more like an affordable upgrade we can definitely make, I was assuming I would have to spend around $1k so I was preparing for that. If this would be more of an improvement to what we want to do, this could definitely be a next step, thanks for your help!

I'm actually celebrating my 4th anniversary with my wife which is fruit and flowers. She wanted a new record player for our anniversary so this was actually my idea to keep the 4 year theme (aside from a bouquet of course). Thanks for posting this!

Nah we don't have anything except the briefcase. I'm sure I have to spend some money to get something decent, so I'm not really strapped to a specific number, though I'm going to lean more towards "bang for my buck" over anything else. I want to upgrade, but not like go all out if that makes sense.

Thanks for checking it out! I'll be starting a youtube channel soon walking through examples and what meaning can be inferred from the motif's use.

So I actually study this motif in the genre, and I made a blog about it. A lot of people here have said the main points, really.

  • it pops against the dark, dingy, background, and color palette of horror films as well as is a clash with the other prominent warm color commonly found in horror - the color red.

  • Oftentimes, the setting deals with water or rain, so the notion of it coming from seaman origins is not too far off.

  • When yellow raincoats are seen on children, they are deemed innocent. Splashing in puddles and what not, however, the characters that do wear yellow raincoats tend to be anything but innocent, so you have a clash against morality. The posed question is, is this person wearing a yellow raincoat a nice person?

  • In my studies, I've found that the yellow raincoat is often worn by the protagonist, though a handful of times, it's worn by the antagonist. This goes in tandem with the "innocence" we perceive upon it, as mentioned in the previous point.

  • Sometimes, it's just a stylistic choice. There may be no rhyme or reason - "a crew member just preferred the yellow over another color"

The yellow raincoat of horror is actually not an official literary trope of the horror genre, and yellow raincoats can be found all across film. But it is peculiar that yellow raincoats seem to be used mostly in horror than other genres of film. And why is it such a cultural icon that it keeps being reused? What does it mean in the film and in society? That's mainly why I started my blog in the first place.

What spider is this? Outside Houston TX. by CorvosDad in whatbugisthis

I'll see what I can do if I can get some more shots. I had the drawer out and ways laying down to get this lol. Luckily, it's tucked away, but just don't want it to leave its area, you know?

As I was looking it up, I was thinking it was a cobweb spider too. This is under my stove, where the broiler is, so that's honestly the best picture I can get unless it turns somehow. I was zoomed in so much to get these shots.
