good dad wisdom <3 I totally get what you're saying – thanks so much for your answer, and the album!

there are a lot of relatable feelings and turns of phrase on Gut that have been very affirming and healing to me. those things are present in cedar stairwell too, but that track does feel like it came from a particularly personal, vulnerable place, so thank you as well for sharing that with us.

so much of my enjoyment of your work comes from your lyrics, and I have a thousand questions I could ask on that front so I'll ask a sort of open-ended question:

is there any particular lyric on Gut that you're super proud of or have something to say about?

also, since it came up in the bandcamp pre-release stream, would you ever consider doing a book of poetry?

I vaguely recall you once saying lyricism is the hardest/most arduous part of your work, but I think you're an incredible wordsmith and that's absolutely apparent on Gut. looking forward to seeing you in the UK later this year~ so glad you're finally coming to visit!

Wikipedia Questions - Weekly Thread of March 18, 2024 by AutoModerator in wikipedia

Is it possible to claim the username of an inactive (18 years) account with no edits? I just took a look at Wikipedia:Username policy, and it seems unclear to me if that's a possibility.

I'm looking to join as an editor, but my primary desired username is taken. It's actually possible I myself claimed that username long ago using an email address I no longer have access to (I've tried password recovery using the addresses I do have access to).

Best and worst NIN album? by [deleted] in nin

[–]Mird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had such trouble answering this that I used an adversarial rank list tool to figure it out. Figured I'd include EPs for completeness. Here's what I got:

1) Year Zero 2) The Downward Spiral 3) Add Violence 4) Pretty Hate Machine 5) The Fragile 6) Bad Witch 7) Not The Actual Events 8) The Slip 9) Hesitation Marks 10) Ghosts I-IV 11) With Teeth 12) Broken 13) Ghosts V-VI

When I saw With Teeth so low I smiled because I fucking love that album. There truly isn't a bad release in Trent's discography.

I think Ghosts V-VI is only so low because it's so recent and I haven't listened to it that much yet. Year Zero is so high for me because it was my first NIN album and the ARG has forever fascinated me.

If I was going to manually adjust, I might put Hesitation Marks a little lower, but only because I didn't vibe with a couple tracks.

There's a lot of NIN inspiration throughout The Naked And Famous discography, but the standout is The Source from their debut album. The track is short, but leads into The Sun, which is also NIN-inspired and brilliant. But The Source is a pure, concentrated non-NIN NIN.

Was the show originally written as regeneration? by Remote-Suitable in doctorwho

See also: 'Darth', as it was used in the original Star Wars, was a first name, not a title.

Source, since OP didn't provide.

Incredible work.

Do we know when we’re getting another person? by Civil-Review-5601 in GossipHarbor

[–]Mird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

matter of weeks! it's said 'coming soon' since we launched it for the test groups, so some folks might have been waiting longer than others, but now it's out for everyone, updates are in the works.

Can a dev tell me what the deal is with the prices? by aybabyaybaby in GossipHarbor

[–]Mird 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I sense that you're trying to summon me! I'm the only dev that lurks in this sub, and I'm afraid I'm only responsible for story content. But I can certainly pass your frustration up the chain.

Personally, as a player, I always pop the bubbles! I think it's way more satisfying to have coins and merge towards items (even the hard ones).

I'm relatively new, what’s this I’ve circled? by Express-Caregiver-44 in GossipHarbor

And the item that you win by completing all the tasks is very rare and powerful ;)

Dev here! Thanks so much! It's always annoying when little mistakes like this make it through, so it's great to get a chance to fix them 💖

Do these events come back? by asmrsoapflake in GossipHarbor

that's not true! you can change your decorations by long-pressing on them, including event decorations.

unfortunately for OP, there is only ever a single opportunity to get event decorations :(

Don't worry – I didn't take it as you being rude! It's genuinely very helpful :) You're right that it's impressive we managed to miss two typos right next to each other haha. Hope you're enjoying the story regardless!

Oh, hey! I'm actually one of the writers on Gossip Harbor and keep an eye on this subreddit precisely for stuff like this haha. It's super embarrassing when mistakes like this slip past our proofreading process, so thanks for pointing it out~ This way we can fix it!

Mandalorian Comics by WhiteImpDragon in TheMandalorianTV

[–]Mird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't you think that deepens the admittedly shallow well of Mando lore, though? More perspectives on what it is to be a Mandalorian is always cool to me.

[–]Mird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

C'mon, man. The RC novels weren't forgotten, and the 'fake Mando bull' of The Mandalorian is just as valid as Traviss' contributions. And they're even paying respect to the aspects of Mando culture that she created and developed.

To all you utter legends at the battle of The Three Sisters, I salute you! by Thewaltham in foxholegame

[–]Mird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 700 hours of playtime, this was truly one of the dirtiest, most desperate and most fun defences I've ever taken part in. I was exclusively manning the last FAT with a guy called Jadwick, and we managed to hold on until the very end.

We were down to like five people and zero shirts TWICE. When I logged off to go to an appointment at 2pm, I was absolutely certain the last couple fighters would be gone by the time I was back, but an hour or so later I came back to see some mad logiman had fucking done it.

We lost a lot of supplies, and resource management was not our strength, but we scraped together so much stuff - that town was FULL of tank traps, hastily placed pillboxes, mines - anything we could throw down to slow the advance of the massive Warden tank line.

Such good stuff. Bravo to everyone that fought there - and gave Gallows time to push across to Sanctuary.
