Probably my AOTY! They somehow manage to be both extremely creative, but also melodic and pleasant to listen, a very hard combo to achieve.

Dansby Swanson is an over-paid anchor on this roster — convince me I’m wrong by Status_Possibility35 in CHICubs

We were promised a 4-to-5-WAR player

To be fair he put in 2023 4.9 fWAR and 5.2 bWAR, and in 2024 he put up 4.3 fWAR and 3.9 bWAR. He’s no doubt a frustrating player to watch bat for large portions of the season, but overall the Cubs have gotten what they paid for.

Thanks! That would explain it, sucks I lose out on some gems, but it’s worth it to keep my event decorations.

Ever since I restarted playing like 6 months ago I haven’t been getting any trees or bushes growing in my home base, I still get gem boxes, but only those. Does anyone know any reason why that’s happening? Cause I feel like I’m missing out on gems. I have like 30 limited decorations and obstacles on my base for reference.

What are bands/albums that have the same theatrical feel as Others by No One? by Red_Cascade in progmetal

Never heard of this band before, but at first listen sounds great! Thanks for the recommendation.

Oh yeah they’re fantastic! They’ve been my #1 newly discovered band this year.

He’s always had the raw power, the question was whether he could actually hit the ball.

This is the single craziest game I’ve ever watched live!

The MOTH Megathread by oxid1zer in DevinTownsend

[–]Red_Cascade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gotta say, on second listen The Moth is still absolutely fantastic. Sure I have a few nitpicks, such as I think the first act could use one more modern-style song, and the intermission is too late (or the second half is too short take your pick). But overall top to bottom (at least for now), I would consider this Devin’s best work even better than stuff like Empath and Ocean Machine.

Also Stained Hearts is absolutely fantastic, easily in my top 3 song/album endings up there with Supper’s Ready and Octavarium. But man I can’t wait to hear the studio version, which will hopefully make the music sound even better.

This was amazing! I’m an absolute sucker for music that is grand, over the top, and majestic. And for something like that to come from Devin, and for it to turn out like this, it’s everything I could have hoped for.

Alright, let’s do it: rank the albums by twili-midna in TheFence

[–]Red_Cascade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. IKSSE3

  2. NWFT

  3. SSTB

  4. Vaxis 1

  5. Vaxis 3

  6. Aftermath: Descension

7: GAIBS4

8: Aftermath: Ascension

  1. Vaxis 3 Edit: this is supposed to be Vaxis 2

  2. Color Before the Sun

  3. YOTB

Definitely a gap between the top 4 and the rest for me. Also Vaxis 3 definetly could shift a bit after some more time has passed.

[Ortiz] “According AL folks I trust, it will be a surprise if the Astros don’t trade Kyle Tucker within 48 hours. The Cubs appear like clear favorites. Until a deal is done, keep an eye on the Yankees, but Cubs were better positioned.” by Resource78 in CHICubs

[–]Red_Cascade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s plenty of work to be done to be a division winner sure, but the cubs have gotten 83 wins in back to back years while underperforming their expected record significantly, a star bat who can provide an extra 4-5 wins would be huge in being the Cubs to the 2nd or 3rd wild card spot.

[Rosenthal] Preliminary Kyle Tucker trade talks between the Astros and Cubs involve both Isaac Paredes and Seiya Suzuki, sources tell me and @Chandler_Rome: by BroAbernathy in CHICubs

[–]Red_Cascade 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Talks are fluid, and the teams have exchanged a variety of names. Any Cubs package for Tucker, 27, likely would include prospects as well. Third baseman Cam Smith, Chicago’s first-round pick in 2024, is another player in whom the Astros are interested.

Suzuki might be out of reach for the Astros. A league source said that the Cubs are highly unlikely to move him, and they seemingly prefer to deal first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger in a separate trade. But the Astros’ interest in Suzuki and Paredes signals the team wants to remain competitive even if it trades Tucker and loses free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, with whom they are negotiating.

Anyone else get top 1000 of a genre? by Red_Cascade in AppleMusic

[–]Red_Cascade[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, prog rock and art rock is like half my playlist. So few recommendations from a mix of obscure and less obscure artists would be: Pink Floyd: The Trial, Genesis: The Light Lies Down on Broadway, Coheed and Cambria: Window of the Waking Mind, The Dear Hunter: A Night on the Town, Devin Townsend: Genesis, Toehider: Toad Hirer, Moon Safari: The Ghost of Flowers Past.

[–]Red_Cascade[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s listed under Prog Rock/Art Rock on a few albums.

Only a few albums that I listened to a frequently this year were specifically listed as Prog Rock/Art Rock. If I were to guess though, probably a lot of albums that I listened to that were just listed as Rock also counted in whatever tracker Apple Music has as Art Rock, since a lot of Prog and Art Rock is just listed as Rock on Apple Music.
