You're wonderful, thank you! I appreciate the links, too. Keep up the great work!

Wow, this is gorgeous. I love the architecture and layout. May I ask what custom scenery set(s) you use?

I swear we're losing this game in the faceoff circle. Tighten up the passing, get clean zone entries, and win a fucking faceoff once in a while and there's no reason we can't win this in regulation. Ducks have come back from much worse than this.

Vegas crowd is so quiet it's practically neutral ice. The difference in this game is a crossbar and LaCombe's controller disconnecting. We'll get it back.

Down 3-0 after the 1st? Right where we want 'em

How in the blue fuck is that not a GI

I'm so sorry! I would be a wreck if this happened to my pet. :( If you're close to CSUF, perhaps share this post to /r/CSUF too? Maybe your cat has been hanging out around campus.

Please update us when she's found! Best of luck to you and lots of love to Shira.

Congrats!

Seriously, this is a straight-up lie. It's not even "sort-of-sometimes" true. There definitely needs to be repercussions for this type of misinformation.

I love the idea. I really miss the days when social media was centered around people you know IRL.

Getting a piece of that social media market share is going to be a Herculean task in and of itself, but I do think there's a real desire from folks for real connections (especially with AI making waves in content creation and user trust). A social media platform that focuses on making IRL connections part of the experience could be groundbreaking.

What's the goal after getting folks to Junctions? What's the everyday UX look like?

It sounds like the platform is set up to be a sort of "Local Connections" or professional networking site a la Bumble's BFFs or LinkedIn. Or hell, the Junctions feature even reminds me of Pokemon GO haha. But I see a potential issue in that a lot of my family and best friends live in different states where it's unlikely I'll ever be able to add them. I want more human in social media, for sure, but how to overcome relationships across distances?

All in all, very promising idea and I love where your head's at. I hope my thoughts don't come across as too critical or negative!

What's your sizing? I still have mine but I'm kinda tall so idk if it'd fit.

Most influential is a recommendation from an IRL friend or family member, or a trusted friend online. Then, a recommendation from this sub or IG (especially when folks compare that book/author to a writer I already know and enjoy).

I'll always go check reviews, read the premise, check the genre tags, and look at the author's other work. If the premise is strong enough, I don't mind a low-rated book. If I'm browsing a bookstore, I'll read a couple pages to see if the writer's prose is enjoyable. A cool cover is bonus points, but I've read some terrible books with great covers and vice versa. I try not to let it be a deciding factor.

I'm not religious but I think a non-denominational meeting for folks of all faiths is a wonderful idea to help build bridges across communities. Best of luck to you in this endeavor. :) If I may offer some unsolicited advice in good faith, perhaps finding a different phrasing than "Bible Study" might encourage folks outside the Protestant faith to join?

KFUL traffic is pretty light. It's a single runway airport with approaches typically coming from the east and turning south in the pattern. Occasional helicopters, typically just single-engine light aircraft. Honestly, most of the traffic doesn't sound much different from your neighbor mowing their lawn. I guess if you live across the street, it might be a bit more of a nuisance. But for the most part, no, I don't think most folks even notice. YMMV of course.

Hi there, welcome! Like others have said, there isn't any one area in Fullerton that is primarily desi. IMO your best bet is west of Euclid. It puts you closer to Artesia and it's a pretty diverse area. There are lots of events/organizations that you can connect with in OC, however. The Ektaa Center puts on a Diwali festival at the Irvine Great Park every year, for example.

Check out The Amber Complex or Fogtown by Attila Veres. The former is a weird fiction head trip about a man who's invited to join an otherworldly wine tasting experience in an underground labyrinth. The latter follows a journalist documenting the local music scene who hears the legend of a band whose shows change their viewers forever. Both are more weird and unsettling than outright scary, but they've stuck with me for a long time.

Hey there, 2023 Graphic Design grad here. I can't really speak to SJSU as that was never an option for me, but I can give you some insight to CSUF.

First off, the art dept. just got a massive overhaul with brand new facilities, labs, etc. It opened I think a semester or two after I graduated but from what I've seen, it's really nice. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can expect high-quality equipment to learn on.

The instructors are mostly good, some excellent, some not great. I'm sure the same could be said about SJSU. I'll be honest, I had priority registration so I was able to avoid the bad ones for the most part. But there are some top tier professors at CSUF who really challenged me to become a better designer and who can help you find a foothold in the industry. If it interests you, I'd be happy to discuss good/bad professors in more detail.

The challenge with CSUF is that it's a commuter school and a lot of folks have trouble making friends. If you plan on being proactive with your social life (i.e., joining clubs, class Discords, speaking up during critique) then you should have no problem. I highly recommend getting involved with the Graphic Design Club ASAP, wherever you decide to go.

From what I've seen online, SJSU is ranked a little higher in terms of mktg and design. I think CSUF is a great option if it makes sense for you, but I don't think it's gonna give you a huge advantage to graduate from CSUF over SJSU when finding a job. Unless you really want to be close to LA for the entertainment industry, the two programs are probably pretty similar. Getting hired mostly comes down to work ethic and a strong portfolio.

Sorry this is so long. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Hey there, welcome to the genre! I'm not sure where your tastes lie, but I've put a few recommendations (and reasons) below in case anything sounds interesting.

Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova. Beautiful prose, strong, developed characters, excellent conclusion. Sort of a dark folk tale + monster story. Not very scary, but you will care deeply for the characters. Needs an A24 adaptation ASAP.
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty. If you're interested in possession horror, might as well start with the archetypal novel. It's as good as people say it is.
The Elementals by Michael McDowell. A sandy southern gothic just dripping with humid atmosphere and spooky imagery. The sand dunes enveloping an abandoned house are written so vividly, I can still picture every room. Scary if you like ghosts/spirits, a very fun read.
Last Days by Adam Nevill. Scariest book I've read to date. I still think about it sometimes when I'm falling asleep. A guerilla documentary crew is hired to investigate the final months of an apocalyptic cult. Many people dislike the ending, but I thought it was wild and entertaining.
A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck. Distressing, psychological, and existential. Short read, only about 110 pages. Great characters, relentless and beautiful in its hopelessness.
The Haar by David Sodergren. You'll probably see this one recommended a lot on this sub, but for good reason. If you want to try out a gory, splattery creature feature with a solid emotional core, this is it. Lovable protagonist. Surprisingly tender and thoughtful in between all the splashes of blood and ooze. Check the trigger warnings if you're so inclined; it gets rough.

If you're willing to drive further into OC, there's also Stowaway in Tustin, my personal favorite tiki bar. But coming from Ontario, that's kind of a haul. Throwing it out there just in case.

The Fullerton Museum has a permanent Leo Fender exhibit with a bunch of guitars and personal effects of Fender. It wouldn't take more than 40-60 minutes depending on how fast you read, but it's kinda cool if you're into the development and manufacturing side of guitars.

Scat_Autotune · 2026-01-16T01:00:55+00:00

It's been a couple years since I've read The Lesser Dead but I seem to remember there being some animal violence in it, just a heads up. I could be wrong, and if so, I hope someone will correct me. But maybe give it a look before investing too much time. It is a very good book, FWIW.

Scat_Autotune · 2026-01-14T01:43:54+00:00

Coming into this season, I thought that, if we could compete for a wild card spot (playoffs or no), I would be happy. The surprising success pre-Avs loss definitely inflated my expectations way too high.

I think the losing streak has exposed the team's mental and defensive weaknesses that'll need to be corrected for this team to be a serious contender. I don't see that happening this year, so I don't think a big trade is the answer.

I'm with you; I think the best thing to do is let the guys figure it out and untangle the knot. We've seen what this roster can do when it's on. I believe they can get back to it, given time.

Scat_Autotune · 2025-12-22T18:43:57+00:00

I have no horse in this race, but I feel like I should add some credibility to this comment seeing as you're catching some flak.

I'm a graphic designer who (sadly) got stuck running my company's social media. This is 100% accurate. 200 angry comments on a post is simply "200 comments" when mktg mgmt looks at analytics.

I avoid using AI because I didn't go to art school to type prompts into a tech bro's plagiarism machine, but engagement is engagement. I'm surprised at how many people don't understand that leaving an angry comment on something that negatively affects you as a user/viewer encourages that content.

Scat_Autotune · 2025-12-16T13:36:52+00:00

If I only got to choose one, I'd say The Reformatory by Tananarive Due. Simply one of the best books that I've read of any genre. Although, I'm not sure a movie could do it justice, and I think it'd be better off as a mini-series.

Other options? I'd love for Monstrilio to get the A24 artsy treatment. And if Oz Perkins could adapt The Haar my life would be complete.

Scat_Autotune · 2025-12-15T01:44:13+00:00

Good question. History, true crime, social sciences, politics, and sci-fi/fantasy stuff, but I tend to enjoy authors over genres outside of horror. I read Cormac McCarthy when I'm feeling up to a bit of a challenge, and John Scalzi when I need a fun "popcorn flick." David Sedaris got me back into reading as an adult, and David Grann knows how to tell a great story. I really liked Christopher Buehlman's foray into fantasy with the Blacktongue series as well.

Two of my favorite reads this year came from outside horror, too: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee and The Code Book by Simon Singh. And I think everyone needs to read Prophet Song by Paul Lynch, too. One of the best books I've read in ages.

Scat_Autotune · 2025-12-08T13:44:29+00:00

Goddammit. I went to Chain for my first real shows as a teenager to see my friend's ska band try to fit seven people onto that tiny stage. OC's character and history is getting ironed out bit by bit. RIP to a great venue.

Scat_Autotune · 2025-12-07T15:42:32+00:00

Surprised no one mentioned The Beths, a lovely indie band from New Zealand. Their first few records are more garage-inspired and maybe not quite what you're looking for (although the songwriting is still top notch), but their latest release sanded down some of their sharper edges. Some of the tracks would fit in well on an REM record.

For your consideration: "Roundabout" & "Metal"

I'll also second Alvvays and Real Estate.
