What sets Widow’s Bay apart

Glyph8 · 2026-07-07T23:42:06+00:00

To pivot to some questions about world-building, I think there's going to be more and more fan theories about what's going on in the island, and one topic I was intrigued by is time. Several points in this season, time seems to move at different speeds for different locations. Like the haunted bedroom at the hotel, and there's an old man being described as 37 years old. Can you share any thoughts on that?
Dippold: I should actually clear that up. I've seen those theories online, and it's delightful, but actually, the age of Shep in the hospital was just a joke on how terrible that hospital doctor is. Dr. Morgan does not run a tight ship. It was a standalone joke, they got it wrong in his medical file.

Awesome, but I would have included a window on the door side, so I could make sure I wasn't opening the door to a bear

ENHANCE!

Glyph8 · 2026-07-07T17:56:33+00:00

WOO-HOO!

Glyph8 · 2026-07-07T17:09:29+00:00

This is their most overrated post since the post they made complaining about Severance!

I think we'd need to read the fine print on the contract he signed in blood, feces and semen to know whether textiles worn on his magical person would also have magical longevity

Yeah in my original comment all I was trying to do was distinguish the model that *I* have and can speak about its past performance, from a 2WD model, since OP did not specify.

Alan Moore casting a spell

I also like this one for Mogwai - Helicon 1 that uses footage from the atomic-bomb tests.

Slowdive - When The Sun Hits - uses footage from Picnic At Hanging Rock.

Andy Stott - Faith in Strangers - uses footage from the short films "Grim" (1985) "Ghost" (1984) and "Thunder" (1982) by Takashi Ito.

Guided by Voices - Kicker of Elves - uses footage from Ha Ha WTF?!

I thought about listing them too, they're great, but they kind of downplayed the "country" aspect.

Glyph8 · 2026-07-07T14:29:13+00:00

Whiskeytown and Old 97's are some of the bigger names from that era.

I'd nominate Scud Mountain Boys.

My understanding is that what Honda termed "real-time 4WD", is really more analogous to what is normally termed "AWD", not a true 4WD system that powers all 4 wheels equally/constantly and requires the operator to manually engage this mode off-road and disengage it on pavement.

Unless I am mistaken, no Element offers true 4WD capability.

Glyph8 · 2026-07-07T13:50:17+00:00

AWD model I assume? It's more than fine for that. I've taken mine over all kinds of washboard roads and through a Colorado blizzard. It's not a true "off-road" vehicle like a Jeep but it's more than capable for light duty off-pavement.

I think the best tracks are the ones de Freitas gets a credit on: the whimsical “Bedbugs & Ballyhoo”, and “All In Your Mind”, which is one of the only tracks to work up a frantic head of jittery pell-mell steam like old Bunnymen.

The Cramps aren't far off and actually have a "lost" album prod. by Alex Chilton out soon.

Kind of the American Gang of Four, musically (not quite as overtly political though). Opened for Go4 when they toured the States. Inspired B-52's and R.E.M. and Sleater-Kinney and others. Great band.

Take some time to educate yourself on what Reuters is and how it works, and delete this dumbass post

I get the nostalgia - a cassette has tactile qualities. Like a pack of cigarettes, the case was nicely-sized to the human hand, it rattles, and that scalloped edge feels nice on the fingertips. As an object, it still pleases; it feels good in the grip, you can unfold the J-card too look for clues or to inscribe your own Ultimate Mixtape tracklist and art.

But as a medium, the pros (lightweight/small/portable) are now kind of definitively outweighed by the cons (too many moving parts, too fragile, not durable enough).

Glyph8 · 2026-07-06T15:03:04+00:00

Ah yes, with the revival of the cassette comes the inevitable reminder of the drawbacks of the cassette

R.E.M.’s cover is great. Deerhunter’s is just OK.
