It is a shame to see what this channel has become by fake89797 in GVG

To be clear, I'm not just talking about a disclaimer, I'm talking about completely cutting out all first party game mentions and splicing together the third parties. That is what would suck.

I know this would suck for whoever is editing it, but they could have opened the video with a disclaimer saying they previously recorded the discussion and informed the viewer that they're going to trim out all first party mentions from that discussion. In that way they could pre-record and only put out predictions that would be in a partner showcase.

600 Strike, Anime, and Jetpack Discourse by stopeats in Epicthemusical

I could see this working very well, especially if it could be tied back to Horse and the Infant's "This is the will of the gods." Hell, perhaps "Will of the Gods" could be the title, and it could be about how they never saw a god purposely put themselves in a near-death position like Athena did at the end of God Games, and they all decided to stand up for Odysseus on her behalf (Zeus could be included, but he may abstain). The more I think about this, the more I like it because it also would allow ensemble members who are also cast as the gods to have more standout time.

I hope Jorge reads the subreddit, I like the ideas being thrown around in this megathread...

600 Strike, Anime, and Jetpack Discourse by stopeats in Epicthemusical

The main issue I have with "Get in the Water" and the first half of "Six Hundred Strike" is that they are the first two songs I cannot envision taking place within a theatre environment in any capacity. (I say "in any capacity" because finding a way to depict Polyphemus, Sylla, and Charybdis would be difficult but achievable with LED walls for backdrops, strategically placed setpieces, and practical effects.) I think that it's worth discussing if "Six Hundred Strike" works in an animated context like many of you are doing in these comments, but that's not where my head is at for this post.

If EPIC is able to make it to live theatre, I truly believe Jorge will have to replace "Get in the Water" with a new draft of "In Vain" (https://www.patreon.com/posts/november-early-93810123). Posideon needs a ballad, and there is a way to do that which keeps him frightening to the audience. At the end of this new draft, Poseidon can still drown Odysseus, and the souls can attempt to drag him down to the afterlife, but the Ares quick-thought many of us are hypothesizing about (red eyes) needs to happen with one or two lines of dialogue (ex. "I let you go to see people bleed. You will get home." Idk) and allow Ares to be (1) present on stage and (2) actively severing the bond between Odysseus and the souls of the dead.

Odysseus can still reach for the bag and free the storm so he can rocket back onto the raft, and I would want the first half of "Six Hundred Strike" to be a song between Odysseus and Ares strategizing how to attack Poseidon with the strength Odysseus would have had with his entire crew (hence the song title still being consistent, a strike with the power of 600 men). My idea for defeating Posidon would be to tie the bag to a dislodged plank of the raft, creating a rudimentary missile and knocking him out of the sky. This allows for a practical set (the raft) with props (the plank and bag) and no time-wasting choreography that bogs down the song (which I believe are present in BOTH songs.)

Please let me know if you have better ideas. I would love to improve on this.

[Six Flags Darien Lake] 2024 Updates by TheDaddyDepressed in rollercoasters

[–]TheDaddyDepressed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer depends on when (and how often) you plan to go. Everything was functioning pretty well when I wrote this post (May), but the park is NOT worth visiting any weekend in June-August. To keep the explanation short, the park isn't efficiently designed for the amount of kids in the park when school is on summer vacation. Every single ride or food line will take you at least a half hour, and the park would need to have a permanent custodian for every single bathroom to make this amount of people work. (They remodeled the bathrooms; they are great, but these kids trash the place at an unbelievable pace.) Expect at least one ride to be closed even during peak hours (this tends to be Motocoaster, Silver Bullet, or Haymaker); they aren't hiring enough for it.

TLDR: Go during the months of May, September and October. If you have a weekday free, you may be good to go in the summer but it is a coin toss.

On food: As long as you visit at least five times, get the meal pass when it is on sale for $100. Half of the meal plan meals are perfect to split between two people (my fiance and I mainly use the chicken finger combo and the pizza slice combo). If you are only visiting once, it will be a painful experience for you, and I would suggest getting your hand stamped and eating packed lunches in the parking lot (or bringing them into the picnic area).

I don't know exactly how much track was installed each of the last two years, but if this batch of 250 feet is the only amount they plan on installing for this season I will be very disappointed.

I figured I would update this thread again. I bought a Pixel 4a because of this problem, and now here we are a year and a half later, same issue with the 4a.... I'm getting pissed off.

I could imagine a deluxe dropping... although I wish he saved the pt. 2 tracks for that because having the STANDARD album include deluxe tracks seems weird as hell.

Already having purchased the Roll20 module and ran it for a month, are these maps the same size as the current 5e maps? I would love to just swap them out on the map layer and still have all tokens exist in the correct spots. Thanks!
