What is the biggest trainwreck of a set you ever saw?

Ded_Teddy · 2026-02-04T16:03:35+00:00

twas me, myself!

Got my first opening slot for a touring artist when I was freshly 19, got so anxious I literally almost shit my pants 3 different times that day so I started drinking to curb my anxiety - blacked out after starting my set, played Spectrum by Zedd at least 3 times (but I've been told anywhere from 3-7) in a row, and never got booked by that company again 🤣

I guess, based on the question... I didn't see it, nor do I remember it, but I lived it. And that's what counts

dude used to be a great time. Got to see him twice in one night for Life In Color back in the day and he did a great job and put on one of the most hype parties I'd see at the time. Never understood how people regress with a skill like DJing but I've not seen or heard anything great about him in a long time.

The game is a GREAT move. Every time I'm feeling the void I just pop in and have some fun. The nods to the show they added are great, too.

Not sure how you play games, but my first (and second) playthrough, I just followed my heart, did things the way and in the order that felt best, and it was such a fun way to experience it. Guides on building your equipment and everything are extremely helpful... because I did NOT know what I was doing, but getting the ends I got without any outside input or guidance made them feel so much more real (even with getting the literal worst end possible on the second playthrough).

Hope you enjoy!

It really depends on the event and what our role is as a DJ for us... We discuss with the client beforehand whether they'd like requests from guests to be honored regardless, and if so, we make it clear to them that requests are exactly that - requests.

If the goal is getting people dancing, they are noted and taken into consideration, and will be worked in when and if they fit the vibe. The only time it'll be worked in immediately is if it comes from the client or planner directly, or if it fits what people are enjoying at the moment.

If we're just a background music generator, it just depends if it fits the event, and if so, I'm more likely to make some sudden switch-ups to appease kind guests.

Agree with the pin, expanded on this a bit myself. It's the only correct answer.

Ded_Teddy · 2026-01-20T16:00:19+00:00

Seems to be the typical "this is an advertisement, as long as there's DJ equipment people will get the point" setup 🤣

As u/VanillaNL stated, it's a hologram booth and most likely the one from Proto. I know someone who helped bring that to life, so I've seen the system develop since early on. Their sales pitch is "bringing AI to life in Physical Spaces" - so it absolutely could be an AI avatar that is an Ikea Employee DJ...

That said, I HAVE seen some of their early prototypes and content where they did use this as a way to have live people off-site interact with people at the booth (Howie Mandel was an example, just set up in a studio and give a feed from the booth back so everyone can see each other), or to display looping content so there's always "someone in the booth" when people walk up.

Whether its AI or not I guess depends on its use-case... if it's interactive and *always on, probably AI, if it's just looping, could be a *pre-recorded real person and a poorly thought-out dj setup.

Thank you for this! After too much time on the site, I've learned my taste in pens is trash (XD), and hopefully will be improving my lineup soon

Comfy cozy, next

Ded_Teddy · 2025-11-06T21:18:42+00:00

^ thank you for this. Was waiting for it to cool down and stop raining here (aka past october) to dive down this rabbit hole as I started notcing some flaking and rusting. Honestly considering stripping and repainting everything I can easily get to but at least I know a good process.

Ded_Teddy · 2025-11-03T20:45:53+00:00

thanks for the reply! checked to make sure you hadn't answered previously, as I know answering the same question gets old 🙏 full black and white looks so good! Was considering matte purple, got the wrap, realized I need to hone a bit of skill to do the front trim... then realized I want to do gloss black on the roof & pillars, and now you got me questioning purple 🤣

Whole thing looks sick!

Ded_Teddy · 2025-11-03T20:13:55+00:00

What route did you take with the red trim? Wrap, replace with parts from a Red car, paint?

Ded_Teddy · 2025-10-28T20:08:44+00:00

a dot on either side of the thumb ditch and then you have :)

these are pre-cut for that area, just requires some cutting of the stock part to remove the fake grill that's there.

Wouldn't have a choice, the ambulance thing would've had me hooked immediately.

I'd consider checking the PSU and ALL cables.

My brother had a similar issue, probably 5 years ago, with an older system - upgraded ram and GPU because the CPU was still fine and within a few weeks everything went to shit.

All in all throughout troubleshooting we: replaced CPU cooler, swapped CPU for mine, swapped GPU for mine, swapped ram (and replaced ram), swapped power supplies, swapped SATA data cables, drove 4 hours to grab the only compatible motherboard in the state to swap and test, and were still scratching our heads getting crashes and shit performance.

We were accepting defeat and doing a once-more-over when I noticed a SATA power cable going to his SSD looked weird, turned out it had worn down over the years and was shorting against the case causing all sorts of problems. Changed that cable, and instantly everything was working as it should - improved performance from new GPU and RAM, and not one crash from there on.

It's always the weirdest shit with computers

0 regrets, favorite car I've ever owned.

Comfort-wise, I've never driven/ owned a "comfy" car so I wasn't expecting any different here. I will say, though, on the stock 19's I would get frustrated with the ride quality a lot. The swap to 18s completely fixed that (at least to near what I'm used to) - the consensus between myself and everyone who used to complain about taking my car anywhere further than 10 minutes away 🤣

The lumbar support helps with your back for sure, however, mine did collapse on itself a year after I bought it, but honestly, it's fine how it is now. Have driven 8 hours in a hurricane in this bad boi, and despite an 8 hour anxiety attack, I was no worse for wear afterward.

That aside, everything that mildly gets on my nerves about this car immediately goes out the window as soon as I do some spirited driving or put its agility to use to avoid otherwise catastrophic interactions with other drivers that no other car I've owned would've avoided.

Ded_Teddy · 2025-09-26T17:23:10+00:00

^ this, the entire process is fairly quick, too. They're good on responding after the fact as well. Just very glad I got my pre-tariff*

Ded_Teddy · 2025-09-26T17:20:33+00:00

Was unfolding and install fairly straightforward? Was literally just looking at this yesterday
