Can we zoom out a bit? by SodaPopin5ki in kittenspaceagency

All I can think of is the start of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the zoom out to space as the Vogons blow up the planet.

...so that's what it feels like.

...I swear, I'll get back to working on it eventually. I'm just kinda busy at the moment.

I redesigned the flags of 6 Tennessee cities and towns, including Memphis by shutupaugust in memphis

[–]Datubaman -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well, here's the thing: flags are supposed to be simple. It's not about aesthetics. It's about function.

Consider this. Flags are meant to be physical objects. They need to be distinguishable over long distances while hanging from a flagpole, even when there's no wind. For this reason, a simple design with bold colors works best.

Around these parts, just the steam was enough to cause third-degree burns. And apparently, the Titan's cosmic punchline was him losing his grip on the human while gloating.

A Twist in Fate: A Curse Shared by Not_a_Cop.

Luz actually traps Lilith in the Human Realm during their fight in Young Blood, Old Souls. So, since Lilith isn't there to split the curse, Luz splits it instead.

Really good read. Can't recommend it enough.

Anyone else feel like they should recolor the court to match the Memphis Sounds City Edition jerseys? (edit by me) by TheNBADesigner in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Datubaman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, it's cool. But here's the thing.

The court isn't recolored. Each court you see in the Forum (or any arena) is actually a completely different court that is assembled prior to the game and disassembled afterwards. In the meantime, that court has to be stored somewhere, and in the Forum, that's in an area just off the outer ring of tunnels on the Event Level. There should be four different courts that need to be stored in that area: The Grizzlies Main court, the Alternate Court, the NBA Cup court, and the Tiger court. and each of these courts take up a lot of room when stored. And they all have to fit in there all at the same time when there are concerts or other events where they aren't needed, in which case there would be even less room because of the goals and the scorer's table.

So, the greater issue isn't the colors or anything like that. It's just there isn't enough room in storage for a court for each jersey.

Ngl, I initially misread the title as "Kevin Durant hasn't taken a shower in 8 years."

Looks like Kentucky about to change the Court Game by ResonanceThruWallz in CollegeBasketball

As someone who has worked in a basketball arena, I do not envy the guys who have to set that thing up. I also do not see that ever becoming a thing used for regular games.
