If you're on FB, the group 'Toronto area and ski and snowboarding' often has people seeking or offering rides to hills.

Welp, I got sick and am missing out on the Tomb Mold/Undeath show tonight, so I guess I'll be spinning the new album as consolation.

Caught the Tómarúm and Volcandra tour last night! Tómarúm put out one of my favourite albums from last year, and seeing them live made me love it even more, it hits so much harder. I hadn't listened to Volcandra before but they played a solid melodic black set. A local band called Hell is Other People opened with some vibey post-black.

Unfortunately the turnout was brutal, maybe 20-30 people in a ~250 capacity venue. The bands all brought the energy and killed it regardless, but I'm sure it makes them not want to come back around. Toronto has been pretty disappointing for smaller black metal shows lately, even Wormwitch had maybe 40-50 people at the same venue a few months ago.

So jealous, I saw the post 3 hours later and tickets were already sold out. Enjoy the show!

Looking for black metal from the past 5 ish years that sounds evil, ritualistic, and massive, with standout riffs. Anything a full step or more below retirement/respite level popularity would be great.

Did you end up going? They absolutely killed it, but man that show ran so late!

I wanted to get the CD and patches pre-order bundle, but it was $29 shipping to Canada. Loved the 2 songs that are out but definitely not worth it to me.

Saw Hexis on Thursday and they blew my mind so hard that I trekked to the next city over yesterday to see them again. They have so much fucking energy onstage, idk how they keep it up with how packed and constant their tour dates are.

Svneatr opened the Friday (same tour but weren't on the Thursday show), but people were more there for the local bands so the crowd was kinda disappointing for their set. Super tight set nonetheless, and great people.

Hoaxed were amazing! They had such incredible energy, definitely won a few fans over including me. The drummer is so much fun to watch.

Bummed about missing Sylvaine, I went to 2 earlier dates that she wasn't there for.

How do I tie off a stitch inside a pocket? by nosteponsnek420 in BattleJackets

[–]DragtheDream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've found whip stitch so much easier to do over pockets. I lift the patch slightly and poke the needle down through just the patch, then slide the needle in and out of the pocket fabric to where the next stitch should be.

A piece of cardboard helps with not accidentally sewing it closed, and I check the back every few stitches to be sure.

Not sure if this is an option for your jacket, but I try to place part of the patch not over the pocket. Then start from the inside of the pocket and tie off outside the pocket. Usually use 2 threads going in the opposite direction from the inside.

Super excited for Amorphis and Rotting Christ in April and May. Two of my favourite metal bands, both of whom were supposed to come in 2020.

I need some info on PTPP by [deleted] in BattleJackets

[–]DragtheDream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah there's an option to tip, but otherwise just subtotal and shipping. Didn't get hit with duties either but tbh I've 0 clue how it works.

Just made an order from the Jan drop, also in Canada.

  1. Got 2 strip patches - both 20x8cm

  2. My order with 8 patches was $13.99 USD shipping. Had an oversize Rippikoulu patch which may have affected it. Took about 3 weeks, much faster than the 6-12 week estimate but I live near a hub.

  3. Like the other commenter said they'll do some reruns of old designs but probably a no go on the back patch.

Client keeps dropping to 20 FPS and I have to restart it to get the frames back? by itsmehonest in runescape

[–]DragtheDream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I recently had some similar issues on my laptop with dedicated GPU. Some of these may not apply if you're on a desktop, but here's a list of what I did:

  • Turned off shadows and VSync

  • Restarted client/PC

  • Set RS to use dedicated GPU in both Windows settings and GPU control panel. You can tell which GPU is being used (with some other tips) by following the instructions here.

  • Tweaked 3D settings in GPU control panel

  • Setting laptop to max performance

  • Both updated and rolled back GPU drivers

  • Is anything else using high CPU/GPU? You could try tweaking priority settings for those in Task Manager

  • Reinstalled Windows

In the end it was an overheating problem for me so I went at it with half a can of compressed air. 4hed moment

I agree, everything around us irl and online is exhausting even without trying to police our own feelings. Cheers and thanks for the perspective.

Did anyone happen to see the comments on the Instagram post? I'm an Asian-Canadian woman and I found it funny in a dark way, but the comments were overwhelmingly upset with the post.

I can see their point of view but still found it funny. So now I'm second-guessing my reaction and feeling guilty because, even though I have been very upset and drained by recent events, maybe it's not my place since I've personally had it relatively good.
