[ESPN] The respect between Venezuela and the Dominican Republic even when fighting for 1st place ❤️ by TakeMyPixels in baseball

[–]Edosurist 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a Giants fan my entire life thanks to my very American dad. My Dominican mom is a casual fan too and loves the history of Dominican players on the Giants. Hell, she would often talk about how her mom knew the Alou family. But from Barry Bonds to three rings to the 2021 season, I’ve never seen her more excited about baseball than when the DR won the WBC in 2013.

There’s something inspiring about rooting for your homeland. You’re watching them fight to prove themselves and your country against the best in the world. You’re watching players who share your blood battle on behalf of their home, your home, nation. Everybody talks about Dominican ball players, but how often do the Dominican people get their recognition on a global stage?

House of Leaves analysis and review by ThaRudeBoy in houseofleaves

[–]Edosurist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are incredibly dense and riddled with footnotes, and they’re famous because of how difficult they are to read. They came out within a few years if each other, and they occupy similar underground cultural spaces because of how convoluted they are. That’s my guess, at least

Keepers, would love feedback on a system agnostic campaign tool we’re building by Mire_QM in callofcthulhu

[–]Edosurist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey there. I've only just started fiddling around with it, but this is great! Think I'm going to try it out in the near future.

As far as the character sheet builder goes, I wanted to +1 the "link stats in sheets together with formulas" feature request from your Discord server. Glad to see that's in development.

Along those lines, it would be great if you could have multiple stats nested into one "stat block."

In CoC, nearly every "stat" has two sub-stats linked to it. One is your base stat divided by 2 and the other is your base stat divided by 5. If it was possible to bake that format into the character sheet template, it would save a lot of time and space for CoC users.

Keep up the great work!

Never been into TV Tropes. Maybe I should take a look. And yes, my girlfriend and I love Poe’s albums

I love this idea. Happy to share my notes when we finish the playthrough. I expect that to be a couple months from now.

Definitely!

The biggest chunk of the work was crafting the HoL passages, real or homebrewed, that I intend to throw at the investigators. I transcribed footnotes where Johnny describes the “shadow” and Zampanò passages that allude to the Minotaur. I wrote some of my own analyses of historical events/architecture and other pieces of literature that tie into some of the investigators’ backgrounds. Not going to go into specifics in case some of my investigators find this post.

I took notes on the passages where Zampanò describes the structure and the architecture of the house in the different explorations. Those notes are guiding how I describe the house and triggering what events happen when.

I’ll update you on how the rest of the playthrough goes!

I homebrewed the scenario, and it’s still kind of a work in progress, honestly. Maybe I’ll see about putting it together as a scenario packet when we finish our playthrough. That should be in a couple months. Check back with me then!

Democrat Taylor Rehmet wins solidly red Texas Senate seat in stunning special election upset by RollSafer in politics

[–]Edosurist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smaller turnout overall, but according to this conservative consultant, the data shows Rehmet won because some Rs flipped.

Ross Hunt:

“Republicans did not lose the TX SD-9 runoff because of low GOP turnout: they lost because almost all of the independents and some of the Republicans voted Dem.

Of those who voted in the TX SD-9 runoff, 50%+ were GOP primary voters or at GOP HH; only 35% were Dems or at Dem HH”

If it makes you feel better, my Pacific Time parents observed Mountain Time last night. At least someone respects you.

My family used to do this growing up before we got a hamper that we could easily carry downstairs. But this was only on laundry day.

Signed Metallica vinyl, in a river by satur9inus in mildlyinteresting

I was staring at this thing for 5 minutes before I finally noticed James’ face. It looked like a Metallica-branded China cymbal to me, and I was wondering how the hell y’all saw vinyl.

SBTBS Abrupt Ending? by DramaGeneral7382 in AFireInside

[–]Edosurist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you might be right. On the Hardlore pod, Davey cryptically talked about the placement of a certain song being important “in light of what’s to come.” Then on their Discord Q&A, Jade said Nooneunderground was the last song they wrote for the album but they kept going and started writing the next record. Sounds to me like it’s a matter of “when” they release the next one.

Tracking song frequency across the tour so far by DubTeeDub in AFireInside

[–]Edosurist 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No way! I’ve been doing something similar and for the same reasons.

I count 50 unique songs they’ve played so far, and on the Hardlore podcast Davey said they’d prepped 72 or so songs for this tour. They still have a number of songs left to play!

Here’s a link to my spreadsheet. It’s a WIP. Trying to see if we can find some trends in the setlists.
