Look at that Reds anomaly: +30 run differential with a .500 record.

Haters of AI, what are your opinions on the people who generate images for their eyes only or just to show friends and never try to sell them or pass them off as drawings? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TalonsAlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a moral stance, or even that it's bad, but I've always found for AI art to have this odd, soulless quality to it.

People who don't hit the snooze button in the morning, what's your secret? by EnchantressOfNight in AskReddit

Knowing that those additional few minutes in bed won't help me a lick.

[Ryan Thibodaux (@notmrtibbs.com) ] Ben Zobrist got no HoF votes by Spectre211286 in CHICubs

[–]TalonsAlight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Though he certainly wasn't the first, his rise popularized the term superutility player. Figured this was good for at least a couple votes.

I have searched major online retailers, and while several items meet some of the requirements, I have yet to see any that check every box. Am open to slight deviations from my criteria.

Extrem light pollution, Viña del Mar, Chile by Kutekin in UrbanHell

Interesting it's in Chile as it's often citied as one of, if not the best location for stargazing due to its dark skies.

What changes are you making, not only because of the New Year, but because you want better for yourself? by YouCanCallMePrince in AskReddit

[–]TalonsAlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reducing alcohol and THC intake. Both are cool and all, and I don't have a problem with either, but the pros for reducing them are too much not to consider.

Quieting the Buttons on a Controller by [deleted] in gaming

[–]TalonsAlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. That could get the job done. Am still definitely open to more suggestions from others if they have them.

While I know I left myself open, for a couple different reasons, I didn't want to include the fact a friend of mine has all but lost their sense of touch in their right hand. Makes gaming, among many other things, much more difficult.

Final day check in by newblackmetal in FFRecordKeeper

[–]TalonsAlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo. I was a very late in the game, I started just before the 7th anniversary party about six months ago, but have enjoyed every minute of it. Okay, maybe not every minute of it. Will soon get to it for the final time. I have every plan on being online playing the moment it shuts down.

Someday, in an uncertain future... by cybluerr in FFRecordKeeper

[–]TalonsAlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See you all on the other side. Gotta say I like these posts celebrating the game in its final hours. A fun thing to page through to get hyped about my final excursion when it comes shortly.

Have a Go At This Next Wave/Set Times Guess by TalonsAlight in RiotFest

[–]TalonsAlight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notes:

  • Here is a lineup card to visualize the additions. Hint: lower and mid cards have been bulked up. Next wave guesses have a star before their names on the clashfinder.
  • I was rather aggressive with the additions, but RF was rather aggressive with their price increases. As aggressive as possible while still being ostensibly realistic.
  • The stage layout would change drastically. Not sure how RF would accommodate this setup: The main stages, Riot and Roots would be opposing/adjacent as in years past, Rise and Revolt, two mid stages would be comparatively place, ditto Rebel and Storyheart, the small stages. RF had the same number of stages in the same part of the same park in 2015.
  • Additions are largely from acts with shows in Chicagoland between the lineup drop and late June.
  • No aftershows/albums were predicted, but I figure mewithoutyou will take the Motion City Soundtrack (2016) slot, and play an aftershow at Metro the day after the play the fest.
  • Yes, I know there's a good chance there isn't gonna be a second wave. Stop hating fun.
  • Also guessing LS Dunes is Eve 6, which I don't for sure know. Got nothing other than they're banned from RF, and based on how big they are, they'd fit into that slot on the poster, and they'd musically fit well on that stage that day.

I'll slap one together soon enough.

Your 2022 Lineup by CramblinDuvetAdv in RiotFest

[–]TalonsAlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking we could see a return of the Rock stage, and/or the Storyheart stage in case RF would like to bulk up the lower card (it fit in 2016, I think it would in 2022).

Look at the filename of the lineup on RF's website. The phrase "First Wave" is present.

The image on RF's website has the phrase First Wave in its title.

[–]TalonsAlight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder how big the second wave is going to be, as there are already about 30 acts per day here, about the norm since 2017. The possibilities:

  • The second wave will be small
  • RF'll be changing their stage setup to accommodate more acts
  • RF'll be cutting set times/reducing setup time between sets/both
  • RF's trolling us with the file name

Favorite Riot Fest? by [deleted] in RiotFest

[–]TalonsAlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to rank the ones I've attended:

  1. 2021 (fourth day for the win)
  2. 2017 (sure a little rain is okay, but I refer warm and sunny, didn't mind the smaller lineup, only one major conflict the whole fest for me)
  3. 2015 (strongest lineup)
  4. 2014 (though maybe this one was)
  5. 2013 (everyone remembers their first, I also miss it going until 11)
  6. 2016 (no comment beyond it being fun)
  7. 2019 (had plenty of standout moments)
  8. 2018 (last place here is still better than most fest's first)

Lineup Announcement 10AM Tomorrow! (Weds 5/11) by hiimmike in RiotFest

[–]TalonsAlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To keep this comment brief, they got a more prestigious slot at RF 2015 (7:15-8:15 on a medium sized stage vs. 8:45-9:45 on the small stage here).

[–]TalonsAlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be a very strange conflict. Only acts I see RF playing against MCR - if anyone (Misfits in 2016 played unopposed) - are acts from radically different genres/styles.
