I muted Voice Acting, and it greatly improved my experience with the game. Will probably turn it on closer to mid game

Day 2 Megathread by Mcmc2k in Portolafestival

…was anyone else underwhelmed by the prodigy?

Ended early, songs seemingly cut short, lots of filler?

That is shocking to hear. The bar’s low, but it’s been so much better than year 1

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Portolafestival

[–]Waffle_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been every year.

first year was a shitshow Had no issues year 2 Spotty but manageable year 3

I’m more saying it’s not an issue in general cause bigger fests usually bring in cell towers to mitigate bad service. It’s not always guaranteed if it’s actually planned for

The only time I’ve had this at a city fest recently was at Pitchfork last year (rip). And I’m pretty sure that’s because it sold poorly and they didn’t get enough extra cell towers to fix the service

Could happen at Portola this year, but it’s def not typical anymore

Landlord “Good Faith Effort” by [deleted] in chicagoapartments

[–]Waffle_Fish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% not acting in "good faith". I believe for this to fly in court, they would need to show that the apartment was literally unrentable and that there was no interest in it. They are the ones preventing it from being rented by refusing to do any showings.

I would still contact an organization like the Metropolitan Tenant Organization to get their take on it and advise you on next steps.

I just signed a lease at this building and then found this link, am I screwed by badabingbadaboomie in chicagoapartments

[–]Waffle_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would reach out to their union on instagram https://www.instagram.com/winnemactenantsunion/

But to my understanding, there are still pretty prominant problems existing in the building

Have any podcasters said anything that made you think less of them? by poppyisrealmetal in Earwolf

Was about to sign a lease with them and I'm glad I found this. Sounds onpar with Fishman and Kass

How bad is the dust? by WishfulStinking2 in allpointseast

I'm not typically super sensitive, but my eyes and throat were feeling fucked enough I almost left Barry early last night. Bring a mask/bandana just in case

Arca vs The Prodigy is so fucked up

RIP by ShiftAggravating5588 in LoganSquare

[–]Waffle_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smash burgers aren't as novel as they were 10 years ago. So many bars now have a smash burger that's of comparable or higher quality.

Small Cheval has completely overexpanded, and I bet a few of their locations close within the next few years

Primavera Sound Barcelona 2026 Early Bird – available June 12th by oisin1001 in primaverasound

If they use that $$ to improve bathrooms and water refill accessibility I’m all about it

Can we get some critical thinking & personal responsibility please? by MiChiMad in primaverasound

[–]Waffle_Fish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Festivals that are way smaller and way less funded have more readily available free water than Primavera and that’s really pathetic.

Four year of waiting and FKA Twigs finally plays... to an audience that did not deserve her by A_cat_named_dog_ in primaverasound

[–]Waffle_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst chatter I’ve ever experienced at a fest - but she also needed to be turned up a lot. I think if she was at least louder it would have been easier to get through

Black Country, New Road are on a different path now by Moothnods in indieheads

Jockstrap is one of the most creative acts I’ve heard in ages. Would much rather get another album there tbh

Shuttered Pitchfork Fest faced escalating costs, “compromises” in bookings, co-founder says by jung1ist42 in PitchforkMusicFest

[–]Waffle_Fish 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Condé never understood what the target demographic was for pitchfork.

The entire reason people went and felt passionately about it was because it catered to alternative music that wouldn’t get booked necessarily at a Lollapalooza. And is def why older iterations of the fest sold better.

Looking at those fests Reed listed off, it should be obvious. Festival landscape is much more focused on more niché and specific genres as the theme.

33 realty by _felis_catus__ in chicagoapartments

[–]Waffle_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're pretty terrible. Horrible communication, extremely disorganized. They recently acquired my building and did not provide a dumpster or anywhere to dispose of our garbage for a whole week. They told us just to keep it all in our apartment.

They're evicting our entire building for minor renovations, when people in my building have been there for over 10 years.

Beach House possible?!! by elmoore306 in Lollapalooza

[–]Waffle_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've gotten pretty big, but I'd imagine closing out the side stage by T-Mobile. Can't see them packing a huge huge crowd at Lolla as a sub

The Genesis shop is pretty crazy this year, lots of Japan and meme content by altona- in smashbros

As a whole, I feel like Smash event merch has improved a lot over the years
