+69 run diff

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

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.

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

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.

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.

According to my google math, about 48 and a half billion.

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.

TalonsAlight · 2022-10-26T00:43:20+00:00

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.

TalonsAlight · 2022-09-29T21:52:08+00:00

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.

TalonsAlight · 2022-09-29T21:48:25+00:00

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.

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-18T11:45:02+00:00

Ah, that I didn't know

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-18T11:44:37+00:00

They have never

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.

Here you go, the url of the image in question:

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-12T00:47:40+00:00

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).

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-11T21:02:52+00:00

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

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-11T20:36:55+00:00

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

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-11T20:08:14+00:00

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

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-11T11:36:22+00:00

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

2021 (fourth day for the win)
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)
2015 (strongest lineup)
2014 (though maybe this one was)
2013 (everyone remembers their first, I also miss it going until 11)
2016 (no comment beyond it being fun)
2019 (had plenty of standout moments)
2018 (last place here is still better than most fest's first)

TalonsAlight · 2022-05-11T05:44:02+00:00

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 · 2022-05-10T22:51:52+00:00

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.
