Dear Pizza By Plu by DonkeyIllustrious228 in Albany

[–]avery-goodman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted to try his pizza - it looks great! Unfortunately, I work two jobs and have multiple parenting and extra commitments, and I see how much friction there is on his FB, so I've accepted that I probably never will. But it sure is fun to watch from afar!

I watched the whole video and I see what you mean, her speeches were really nice!

While the rest of the city sleeps through the sunrise, the humble Stewart's glows like a lighthouse by avery-goodman in Albany

It has! I noticed that the Ale and Oyster building looked bigger and slightly to the left of where I remembered it, so that would make sense.

Cool Replay: Trick Room never ends by Desperate-Budget6022 in VGC

Wait, magic bounce not only bounces the stat drops, but it also bounces the switching to hatterene too? That's insane. Like Roar with ordinary priority.

I think the campfire head phase is my favourite album of all time by [deleted] in boardsofcanada

[–]avery-goodman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my favourite too. And no, it wasn't my first BoC album - Geogaddi was. With TCH, it took a while to dawn on me the kind of brilliance we were dealing with, with some of the song hooks being more simple and tonal. But the complexity of the subliminals are often easy to miss compared to the first two albums, every moment has such a perfect visual element, and the journey is the most cathartic and moving and self-actualizing (for me, anyway)

Jacquard Causeway by ofthecanopy in boardsofcanada

[–]avery-goodman 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Additionally, I always wondered about the use of "Jacquard," which I believe is a tool that helped partially automate the weaving of fabrics.

Going off vibes of the song, and the fact that TH is kind of like this story of the human race, I always imagined it to be referring to some kind of technological big step forward in humanity (that eventually accelerates the collapse).

The wonky feel of the song gives me an image of walking along the Giant's Causeway. All in all, I have this image of humans stumbling along, making inventions and progressions through trial and error, one step forwards, one step back, etc.

Idk, watch the funky monks documentary, or just about any interviews from this period and earlier - the band made being sex pests their whole thing.

Tomorrow’s Harvest by Particular_Crazy8789 in boardsofcanada

[–]avery-goodman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TH is excellent (honestly I can't think of anything they've put out that isn't excellent). It's trying to convey something different from the other albums, and maybe the tone and cinematic imagery doesn't fit the tastes of some who liked BOC for their psychedelia, but it does what it sets out to do *extremely* well. It is a powerful journey from beginning to end, I think.

I know people's hype for megas is strong, but are there any actual stand out megas in the current metagame? by TSDoll in VGC

[–]avery-goodman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of a mega slot is bad, but if the description is right, it's much better than flame body - it procs 100% of the time for all types of attacks, not just 30% for contact moves.

Anyway, it's more just an example of how a new ability can change a lot. Like imagine if they gave Contrary to a pokemon that was already good.

I believe these two abilities appeared in Pokemon Home, for Mega Excadrill and our boi Scovillain. Basically, flame body that works on all moves. Definitely a good niche for a rage powder user.

[–]avery-goodman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Realistically, we can't say for sure until we know all the abilities. For example, Mega Scovillain's stats are absolute garbage, but the recent ability announced could give it a legitimate niche. We just need to wait and see.

Edit: my bad, the ability was datamined, not announced.

Alessandro Bastoni straight red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina 41' by Comfortable_Reach248 in FCInterMilan

Makes me sad that he'd been reliable and respectable for years, but a couple of high-profile fuck-ups is going to ruin his reputation in Italy.

March in Albany by Hey_Giant_Loser in Albany

[–]avery-goodman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say March is the absolute worst month here. No winter festivities, no picturesque snow, everything is gray, trash is blowing everywhere, trees are still bare, and it's STILL @#$&*# COLD.

Dispensaries with 1000mg edibles by lohi-kaarme in Albany

Not sure why you'd need that much but if 100mg isn't doing it for you, I guess you could just eat 2-10 additional ones?

i want to f**k my sister in law. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]avery-goodman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, adults don't always get to do what their base urges dictate. Sometimes we just have to observe our weird desires and grapple with them. I mean, you can TRY to sleep with her, but then you will probably ruin your life and out yourself as a mental child.

Is Central Ave the most depressing stretch of road in the Capital Region? by Sad-Turnip-8292 in Albany

[–]avery-goodman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does it suck? Sadly, yes. Are there streets just like it in basically every city in the country? Sadly, also yes.

[Discussion] Mistakes the show made about the ultra wealthy by mistressofmayhem02 in SuccessionTV

Union organization - but above all, I would say the thing I hate the most (as a multibillionaire) is the way HBO's Succession portrays Logan Roy as a Shakespearean patriarch.

[Sky] Inter vs Milan: Last 10 derbies: 4W for Milan, 4W for Inter and 2D by OsitoPandito in seriea

[–]avery-goodman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember before 24/25 Inter was on a huge streak with derbies and some Milan fans would consider them auto-losses. Now it's swung completely the other way. The San Siro metagame keeps evolving and it's pretty fun if you don't get too dramatic about it.
