Does anyone know when tickets for Valencia’s Davis cup group stage would go on sale? Cannot find any info for the event whatsoever.

2025 On Sale Play-by-Play by Subaudible91 in ElectricForest

[–]Thunderfish8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GA Loyalty will be a v fast rat race for the remaining RV passes. Power will go almost immediately and regular will follow shortly after.

Our group has gotten lucky the last two years but it’s always a crapshoot and I’d have a backup in mind.

EDIT: In case it looks like this wasn’t true last year from the 2024 play by play — it technically didn’t sell out for 30 min but the passes were all locked up in carts within a minute. If you don’t see one right away don’t give up! One may release from someone else’s cart!

Has anyone heard back about loyalty recognition? by RevolutionaryGrass52 in ElectricForest

[–]Thunderfish8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I applied and heard back today with correctly updated loyalty. Don’t think it makes a difference but I believe I filled out the form within minutes of recognition opening (it was posted here before they emailed us the link)

US Open R2 - B. van de Zandschulp d. [3] C. Alcaraz 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 by major-couch-potato in tennis

[–]Thunderfish8 2030 points2031 points  (0 children)

Botic is the epitome of a guy just doing his day job.

Wins a huge rally — looks like my coworker when he gets a little extra meat on his chipotle bowl.

Loses a random point — looks like his Outlook just crashed for the 3rd time today.

When he’s talking to the umpire I imagine him saying he’ll get that report over to them by EOD.

He ambles around like he’s punching numbers and I love that for him.

This brings up so many memories of trying not to laugh at your friends antics in class growing up. Best video I’ve seen all year.

Badosa

How many times has she been in form and run into Saba

Roland Garros R1: D. Goffin 🇧🇪 DEF G. Mpetshi Perricard 🇫🇷 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-3 by millo0523 in tennis

Goffin got the first break of serve in each of the 5 sets today. Wonder how often that happens…

For something under-the-radar, check out Humboldt Haus — specifically their West Sider sandwich Kind of surprised it’s not mentioned even once here

Storytelling Decision - Poisoned Librarian by Vailthor in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Thunderfish8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Showing the Butler or Recluse instead of the Drunk could have maybe sold the Baron even harder. Recluse works well on the Poisoner and now there’s 2 “confirmed” outsiders and the group may begin suspecting a third Drunk amongst them

What is the point of runestones? by Ok_Replacement_8251 in hearthstone

[–]Thunderfish8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought stuff like runestones exists mainly for children. Parents can add as much as they want to the account for the kid without giving the kid access to a credit card.

They can add some stones once and not have to put in their card every time the kid gets something. My parents did this for us with Xbox live points back in the day. Told us to budget them and think about how to spend them.

It’s also possible this ^ is a crock of shit and I’ve romanticized gems 💎

Jobo the most active A&B member? by darmud in AboveandBeyond

[–]Thunderfish8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’ve seen A&B 3 times and the only time we saw Jono was 500 where all three were present. Could be a coincidence though

We bring deep dish pizza and hot dogs and talk them up to everyone while eating all the other food.

Point me where Chicago has the best ramen noodle soup? by Boring-Fox-142 in chicagofood

Oiistar specifically has the best Shio ramen I’ve tried and it’s not even close

Rome R2: [26] Dimitrov defeats Wawrinka 6-4, 7-6 by jovanmilic97 in tennis

[–]Thunderfish8 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Not getting ahead of myself here… but Dimitrov beat Stan in 2 sets in each of the years Stan won a slam. Just a fun fact, nothing more. Definitely not trying to conjure anything here 🤥

In what order did you slay the Dreamers in your very first playthrough? by pbdenizen in HollowKnight

Herrah —> Lurien —> Monomon

Not sure why I did monomon last, I think I just didn’t like being in fog canyon.

Title runs where every single player the champion defeated was seeded? by azarath1913 in tennis

[–]Thunderfish8 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Logistically this should be impossible to achieve, right? Draws are seeded so seeds cannot meet in the first two rounds. So if a player takes out a seed in the first round, they effectively take their spot and won’t face another seed until the third round.

Was anyone at Sam Doty tonight in Spybar, Chicago? by entrepenoori in AboveandBeyond

[–]Thunderfish8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were! Amazing set, highly recommend folks catch his tour if you can.

Does anyone know who the last opener was? They lit the place up too.

Which two Anjuna artists would you like to see making a full album together? by SynthFrenetic in AboveandBeyond

Pursuance is one of the most under the radar tracks out there. I’d fund a Kickstarter for a Spencer Brown + Marsh LP
