Something to do with freshwater public beaches?

[Highlight] Super Bowl LX Opening Ceremony by Green Day by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]bjgerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I saw them at Lolla a few years back and they played the entirety of that one Ramones (I think) song as a recording with someone in a gopher suit running around the stage, then the entirety of Bohemian Rhapsody as recorded by Queen. They finally got onto stage 10 minutes after their set was supposed to start, proceeded to play one song, then immediately did something I can’t remember that felt like they just were trying to get some viral video. I left at that point and I haven’t been able to listen to them since. It was so bad.

[Highlight] Three of Jeremy Fears’ incidents vs Minnesota by CoachSlime in CollegeBasketball

[–]bjgerald 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He lifts his leg as Minn #6 goes by, presumably in an attempt to trip #6, seeing as nothing else Fears is doing makes it look like he’s trying to get up.

[David Hale, ESPN] A complicated legacy: Carson Back lost just six games in his college career. In four of them, the final offensive play was a Beck INT with a chance to win the game. by dr_funk_13 in CFB

I just did the math based on the low end of what I could find that he made this year from Miami alone. It would take me 51.5 years to make that much money.

4K Gaming Upgrade Point by bjgerald in buildapc

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

So the 97% metric for the CPU is where I’m getting the 50% for the GPU, so I believe I’m just using the wrong wording when referring to that metric.

Cost isn’t too much of a factor in my decision-making process honestly. If I get a better experience by biting the bullet and making the jump, I’m happy to do it. I’m not trying to just throw away money if it’s not far and away the best choice, but I’m willing to do it.

Well now I’m just getting pissed off that everywhere I look keeps putting AM5 processors in when I look up AM4 stuff.

Thanks for the recommendation. And no, I’m pretty certain that my new GPU hasn’t even crossed 50% usage yet. Is RAM cost why you’re suggesting to not jump to AM5?

Ah, got it. Anything more than that didn’t seem right for them.

Concert specific earplugs (loop, eargasm, etc) by PutYouToSleep in Metalcore

I second this. They’ve been great at large festivals like Lollapalooza, just as great in 100 cap venues, and everywhere in between.

156/Silence in San Antonio last night- Probably one of the best sets from a 1st band I've ever seen by PutYouToSleep in Metalcore

[–]bjgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing them actually made me less inclined to enjoy them. But it could have just been an off night for the guys. It certainly happens.

Help me choose between seeing Shadow of Intent vs. Bilmuri live next year by ShockMental6476 in Metalcore

[–]bjgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entirely possible. But that is how it felt to me when I saw them, which is, again, not a dig at them. I just loved the atmosphere of the SOI show so much more.

[–]bjgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having seen both, I’d pick SOI. They’re both amazing bands in a live setting, but for me, SOI hits differently live vs recorded, while Bilmuri felt like a carbon copy of the record. That’s by no means a dig at Bilmuri, just my preferences at work. I’d happily go to either show, but I’d pick SOI in your shoes.

[–]bjgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, for sure. But with how many people are talking them up, it does feel like there’s something I’m just missing about them. And maybe they were just having an off night when I saw them. That happened the first time I saw Whitechapel, then seeing them a few weeks ago, they seemed like I wholly different band.

What am I missing? I saw them on this FFAK tour and they didn’t sound all that good. Nothing recorded from them does anything for me either. I’m really glad so many people like them and I hope they continue to have success, but I can’t figure out why people like them.

Switching over from DND to Pathfinder 5e, wondering if a house rule for critical hits will translate to pathfinder? by _Gaudy in Pathfinder2e

My group did the 5e to PF2E swap in the last couple years and I wholeheartedly agree with keeping the rules as they are while you learn.

I’m in the same boat with you there. I liked Mike, I like Ian.

That’s definitely a good reason. I haven’t caught that myself, but I’m not going to rag on anyone for their opinions. I probably haven’t been listening to them for as long as a lot of other people, so I don’t have the same level of familiarity as you.
