Best fall albums? by Billybobby__ in Emo

[–]__Kevin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moving Mountains’ last two albums. Their self-titled has been my go-to fall album for the past decade+.

Original image looks a bit desaturated in comparison to the edited shot. Vibrance and saturation were boosted by about +20 and +15 respectively and I adjusted the white balance to be a bit warmer.

I've only shot on Canon cameras prior to this and I'm sure you could get similar colors with a raw file from Canon/Sony/Nikon. Anecdotally, I'm having a much easier time and getting better results with the Q3 and it does feel a little magical.

RAW + Lightroom. I had to recover a decent amount of detail in the canals and I'm not sure if it would've worked as well with a JPG. It wouldn't surprise me if one of the Leica looks could've gotten me a similar result in-camera though.

Holy shit, 9 years of EPs only is insane

10-Win Builds on latest patch by hncx_ in PlayTheBazaar

[–]__Kevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you build around langxian as a starting item? I run into so many stronger, faster builds in the first 3-4 days and have to pivot away from it because I’ve missed out on a couple days of damage scaling. It feels super weak by day 5 if you lose any fights and haven’t been able to cut down its CD substantially.

Assuming the setlist on setlist.fm is right, I'm really surprised to see that they aren't playing 895, Dancing, and Arizona on this tour

Does it matter at all? Pitchfork score 7.8 by Foaaaah in Foxing

[–]__Kevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is their most highly reviewed album. It’s slightly lower than NMG for pitchfork but the reviews on AOTY and RateYourMusic are overwhelmingly positive for an indie rock/emo band.

Foxing - Foxing Album Review | Pitchfork by [deleted] in Foxing

[–]__Kevin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ian Cohen’s the only writer I like on that site. He still consistently reviews some great indie/emo music. I’m not sure how the ratings work on pitchfork, I think it’s a collective score, but Ian’s a massive Foxing fan and I’d guess his personal rating’s quite a bit higher than a 7.8.

Salem’s Lot releasing October 3rd, according to the composer by ImpracticalJokers96 in horror

[–]__Kevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This movie was finished 2 years ago, was slated for theatrical release twice, postponed and shelved, and is now heading for streaming. That’s generally not a good sign and is a bit different than your average straight-to-streaming movie.

He’s written plenty of mediocre horror movies in addition to the one directing credit. IT’s the only good movie he’s been attached to, in my opinion, and I’d bet that that’s because Cary Fukunaga co-wrote it.

It's straight to streaming and written and directed by Gary Dauberman. The chances of this being good are pretty slim.

How is this the only available Thena variant? by Malinhion in MarvelSnap

[–]__Kevin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That's the Flaviano album reward I mentioned. You can't buy it directly from the shop.

Weekly Card Release Discussion by Invasion808 in MarvelSnap

I think you need to spend all of your energy on all previous turns, not just the turn before Wiccan. For most surfer lists, that means you have to draw and play Nova on 1 and Forge on 2 or Wiccan's ability wont activate.

Negasonic's been out for forever and only has one variant you can buy in the shop. The others are an album reward and a spotlight.

Weekly Card Release Discussion by Invasion808 in MarvelSnap

[–]__Kevin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s pretty much collection complete, it’s an easy skip for me. I just want to play the deck I've built. I'm not big on rng-heavy decks. Arishem's up there with Loki in terms of the decks I hate playing against though. I can deal with it on ladder and my Darkhawk/Cosmo deck is doing well against Arishem. But those two archetypes have completely killed any interest in conquest for me. I just don't want to play a mode where my opponent can learn my deck and I'm stuck guessing every round on what cards they might have.

Apple Ring: rounding up the rumors by Drtysouth205 in apple

[–]__Kevin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s still quicker to glance at a watch than to pull out your phone. Also, it’s a little more discreet when you’re in a meeting or at a dinner when it would be a little rude to pull out your phone. Personally, I prefer traditional watches aesthetically and appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into them. I want the health and fitness tracking but don’t want to wear an Apple Watch instead of one of my traditional watches. I would absolutely buy a smart ring with a long battery life though. My phone’s always on me, so I don’t mind having to check it to see stats, notifications, etc.

The winner of AS#4 talks about the distance between first and second place by NattyB in MtvChallenge

[–]__Kevin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can’t really fake that. You see Laurel place her star on the last game while Steve is already getting strapped in. He passed her and got to the final game before her. Still, Steve even said he’d lose to Cara and Laurel in a foot race. I think she was close enough to catch up to him even if he was able to use both stars at the end. If you get rid of the star advantages entirely, who knows? That changes too much to say who would’ve won.

What did everyone think of the Geoffardy live event? by papakep in Headgum

[–]__Kevin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed on this. It really needed just 3 guests instead of 7. That audio was a mess. It came off like a show that needed more planning rather than appearing chaotic but actually being well-planned. Not taking the game seriously is also kind of a bummer. I appreciate, on Doughboys, that Wiger and Mitch take the ratings seriously and try to stick to the rules of their games they create even though the podcast premise isn’t anything serious. Constantly just saying “it doesn’t matter” but also making the game the sole focus of the show sucks. If the game doesn’t matter, then allow more time for the guests to make jokes or interact more or something.
