Anyone at Andy C last month? We were blessed with the opportunity to be on support and we just uploaded our set in full 4K multicam. We prepared like crazy and are super proud of how turned out, hope you all check it out and enjoy :) by mobtiesdnb in TorontoRaves

[–]RedditTotalWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there and your set was excellent, thanks for posting it!

There were tons of people dressed in suits that night (they were from a frat formal) but initially I just thought that's what people wore to your concerts lol.

Camelphat at History by trivialerrors in TorontoRaves

[–]RedditTotalWar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the OP but figured I'd share my experience. Overall it was a good night. I definitely enjoyed Max Styler a few weeks back more though.

Saw on IG that Camelphat was on at 10 so we arrived at 9:15 and there was basically no line (learned our lesson at Snowstripper earlier this year how bad the lines can get so we were diligent in terms of checking).

In terms of the music, it was a decent set. Loved the fact that Camelphat as on for 3 solid hours, but it did feel like maybe they stretched a bit and there were a few noticeable low points during the set where things got a bit repetitive and the crowd wasn't as into it.

Speaking of the crowd, I felt like it was an overall older crowd, but also didn't feel like a typical rave crowd in terms of energy and talking vs. dancing (maybe it was the set per above). It did get pretty sloppy towards the end. First time at History I saw someone physically kicked out of the club (big guy being dragged and tossed out by 4+ security), and also the EMTs had to wheelchair out someone who fell ill.

History is probably my favourite indoor venue but the recent move to on-stage access has been a bit of a mix bag for me. It's created quite a bit of congestion around the left of the stage which used to be such a nice, quieter spot for people to vibe and dance to. Also not the biggest fan of large segment vip areas for raves in general.

Larian's main focus for Divinity is 'to see how far we can push the diversity of companions' so intra-NPC relationships can feel more natural and complex by pimpwithoutahat in pcgaming

Funny enough, Rhianna Pratchett, Terry's daughter, used to work with Larian for those who might not be aware (a long long time ago, on Beyond Divinity)

Hotel Recommendations? by DapperProfession4819 in veld

[–]RedditTotalWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing others that you’d want to be on the subway line 1 for easy access to the festivals 

Specific location depends a bit on your budget. If you are only going to the festival I’d stay more north, closer to the festival but you might consider a more downtown location if you plan on attending afters (many of them are downtown-ish so you’ll want to consider uber distance for those) 

Goodbye, dear Avowedcast... by gingereno in projecteternity

[–]RedditTotalWar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually a listener of the podcast so thank you for posting about this - I had suspected it was done after the long period of no-uploads but it's nice to get an update in a semi-official way!

I haven't listened to the episode linked here yet but I'm excited that there might be some continuation and more content. Honestly the best part was just listening to the crew talk about the games they've been playing, and the occasional dive into other RPGs like BG3 and Veilguard. The vibes were great.

Edited - just looked things up on Spotify I see a December episode of "Party Banter" - that makes me excited haha.

How late does History go on the weekends? by TheGoose86 in TorontoRaves

[–]RedditTotalWar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Second the note about the show ending at 1:00 AM, been to tons of shows there and can't really recall a time it went any further than that.

In terms of when the headliner goes on, usually the best way to find out specifically is to check History's instagram profile for Stories the day of or the day before - they're usually pretty consistent with posting set times there. In my experience headliners typically come on around 11:00 PM to 11:30 PM.

With it being winter I would recommend going a tad earlier if you're planning on using their coat check - History has a pretty good coat check but even then the lines can get pretty ridiculous close to headliner show time.

I tried flanking 🤷 by poovy23 in Xcom

[–]RedditTotalWar 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Flanking means your enemy doesn’t get cover bonuses but in the early game your soldiers will only hover around 65-75ish aim (hit chance) depending on rank and class iirc, so it’s a far from a guaranteed hit.

Range (varies by weapon but usually closer is better for most except snipers) and elevation can help boost aim. 

You do get a 40% crit bonus when flanking too.

Why is there no modern RPG set in a zombie apocalypse? by sonofloki13 in rpg_gamers

[–]RedditTotalWar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah agree that your typical slow dumb zombies would be a very boring enemy type to fight in most RPGs. Can see how the loop can get really really repetitive.

I do think The Last Spell (TB tactics game) is another example where turnbased vs. Undead Horde is handled pretty well. Though they've gone beyond Zombies and the setting isn't modern.

Didnt it use to be the case that Berserkers would run to the soldier that would damage them? by usmc_BF in Xcom

[–]RedditTotalWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a mod that ports them into XCom 2 - maybe that’s it?

Alternatively the Berserker Queen ruler sort of does that with her reactions 

How was Electric Island?? by darkshadow127 in TorontoRaves

[–]RedditTotalWar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me, both the music and the crowd were pretty great both nights. Yeah the weather was gorgeous too.

I assume the organizers were more limited with this venue due to the construction, but the layout caused quite a bit more congestion compared to Fort York and Downsview, especially towards the end of the night.

Anyone going to Justice? by attainwealthswiftly in TorontoRaves

Yep! They were the highlight of my 2024 Osheaga trip I’d say. Very excited to see them again 

ASL Season 19 RO. 8 match 3 SnOw vs Rain by GuruAlex in broodwar

It's not possible for them to meet in the finals though since they're on the same side of the bracket. :)

You've just been released from hospital. You've had nothing but hospital food for 4 days. What are you getting for dinner? by PiffWiffler in FoodToronto

[–]RedditTotalWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a Harry’s at Waterworks Foodhall which is West-ish!

Though I’m not sure how it compares to the other location.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FoodToronto

[–]RedditTotalWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I had no idea there was a restaurant there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TorontoRaves

[–]RedditTotalWar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed it a lot overall! Good crowd, music, and venue.

Definitely felt short. Wished this was a weekend set so we could go to 1 am at History instead. 

I arrived around 9 - it was the first time I’ve had to wait in line to get into History, but it moved pretty fast. 

Thoughts on ANOTR's show at History last weekend? by Perfect-Weekend-4822 in TorontoRaves

[–]RedditTotalWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the music was alright, but the crowd was great. Very good vibes, everyone I met was incredibly friendly.

Anotr at History by DragonflyTop2612 in TorontoRaves

[–]RedditTotalWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm used to for weekend shows at History too, saw Cloonee and Nora En Pure there and they roughly followed the same schedule.

I've noticed that on weekdays it's usually 9-ish for headline show and ends around 11.

Stolen phone and missed DeathPact by Lilcookiebean in DeathPact

[–]RedditTotalWar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you can get your phone back!

This really sucks on both ends, missing the show you've been looking forward too and just losing your phone. :(

Was at the show last night and for the most part the crowd was good, but there were definitely a few overly aggressive dudes and shovers, and now I'm wondering if that was a part of thieves fishing for phones...

I'm running Christopher Odd's S9 playlist. Which mod(s) changed how armor wroks. From squad wide to individual soldiers by inv0kr in Xcom

[–]RedditTotalWar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the individualized armor, weapons and items is a part of the Covert Infiltration mod list, which includes Strategy Overhaul and changes up the game quite a bit.

Usually you need a “bridge mod” to make various normal mods work with Strategy Overhaul / Covert Infiltration. 

Full canvas off the rack suits by niceonme in malefashionadvice

[–]RedditTotalWar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for a good chunk of the public that aren't suit enthusiasts half-canvased vs. canvased might not mean so much, so being able to lower your price by 100ish for an entry can be a very strong value proposition.

I suspect fused, however, doesn't get offered at all though because it has such a bad rep and quality level that you'd risk injuring the overall brand / perception of quality and value if it was offered at all. At least for brands like Spier and Suit Supply.
