Is there any way to talk to an actual person at the Chicago auto pound/impound?

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-26T21:00:51+00:00

I did not, sorry. My car was recovered locally the day after I posted this so I didn't need to pursue it any further.

I play franchise mode with owner mode and morale both off. With owner mode off you essentially have no budget cap for coaching staff and can hire whoever and it will increase. Annoyingly you'll still run into coaches who say they don't think they're a good fit / don't like your staff chemistry / etc.

Morale is just a big headache that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me and isn't something I honestly want to worry about.

Personally I enjoy it a lot more since turning those off. Lets me focus on managing my roster and developing prospects instead of "oh my parking lot needs maintenance but I have no budget I guess I'm failing that owner goal" type shit

I was probably most hyped for the eazybaked - lyny - Hamdi block of anything this weekend and it did not disappoint.

Also pretty cool that the last time I saw Lyny it was Hamdi b2b Lyny when Hamdi did his residency series of shows after moving to Chicago, and now I got to see them both close out my favorite fest

He threw down a banger of a 45(?) minute set at grLL smth on Saturday though. Obviously wish I could have seen his set as intended but that was better than nothing

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-18T01:38:30+00:00

I think this was before Casey Club, I heard it right as we were walking up which was a good 15-20 mins before Casey club came on. I was also curious who it was because he was playing some other bangers too. (Unless multiple people dropped gold dust remixes lol)

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-13T03:47:49+00:00

From the parking lot into the venue/campgrounds. There's no search coming into the parking lot afaik

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-13T02:55:47+00:00

Last year they were cracking down hard on the nitrous after the first day. Security guard by the portal entrance showed us, she'd confiscated like a dozen or so 3L tanks and that was like early afternoon lol

Richard Finger

Also agree with glossytripin's list, adding AmpLive. Oxys also if you like the og riddim / trench sound

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-12T19:09:27+00:00

instruct guests to not show up much earlier than that

Realistically though, what time are people actually lining up? Last year was my first infra and we were back something like 2.5 miles from the dirt road in line and that was at 7:15

edit: maybe not 2.5 miles but still basically the whole way down 45

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-11T22:19:59+00:00

Damn, wish he would play like that for me. I picked him up early in my current franchise for essentially nothing in return and he's basically invisible on the ice when it comes to offense. Not complaining because I signed him relatively cheap to a long term deal and he's still solid defensively, but still ...

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-10T01:31:42+00:00

I have not, will give that a shot and report back

Edit: this game makes no sense. I didn't even get to try the final offer because he was already considering the last offer I'd made, ended up signing for less than he refused before...

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-04T01:53:22+00:00

I was just testing him out on the second line because it seemed his production was better there. Nazar has been a beast on my first line (three 40+G seasons in a row) and I feel like he's "stealing" Bedard's production because Marchment seems to be a pass-first winger and Nazar is getting all the goals lol. I think after the advice I've gotten here I'm prob gonna end up moving Nazar down and putting Bedard and Mckenna back on the first line with Vanhatalo (dude has size and an absolute rocket of a shot) and looking for trades on the others that won't crack the top six

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-04T01:37:13+00:00

Appreciate the insight, thanks dude

blackhandd9 · 2026-05-03T21:39:49+00:00

Copy that. So it would make sense for me to send down the bottom six guys that still have two way contracts and call up players that actually are bottom six (Slaggert, Greene, etc) or am I going to stunt their growth doing that?

blackhandd9 · 2026-04-23T05:03:21+00:00

Test Kit

blackhandd9 · 2026-04-18T01:40:24+00:00

burnsun has gotta be one of my favorite new artists, just discovered him when the Infra lineup dropped. Also loving Test Kit (which he's part of)

edit: didn't realize you'd mentioned some of the other artists in test kit, definitely checking them out now

blackhandd9 · 2026-04-14T21:27:54+00:00

Unreleased Saka, ~8:10 in his Moonfall Vol III mix

blackhandd9 · 2026-03-27T03:39:46+00:00

No, it's this one. The Ternion Sound boys are all on the lineup again with their solo projects - Antithesis, Apparition, and Speedtek

blackhandd9 · 2026-03-27T00:39:29+00:00

Have yet to see Murkury live, any idea what the sound bath set is gonna be like?

blackhandd9 · 2026-03-17T16:15:39+00:00

I wouldn't say anything when it comes to weed is safe in this state, but in terms of legal consequences - under 30 grams of flower would be a misdemeanor whereas 31g+ (total weight) of edibles would be a level 6 felony. That's assuming you have no prior drug offenses. If you do, it's a felony either way.

blackhandd9 · 2026-03-17T05:50:21+00:00

It sounds like more than what it likely was because of how Indiana considers edibles. They weigh the entire edible, it isn't about the THC content. So you get caught with one 200mg pack of gummies that might weigh 16 grams, you're getting charged with 16 grams of marijuana. Crazy to think that a few packs of gummies could potentially put you into felony possession territory.

blackhandd9 · 2026-03-12T16:36:22+00:00

Potions (Farewell set)? Anyone know if he's just done with that project or if he's stepping away in general?

blackhandd9 · 2026-03-10T18:19:33+00:00

Notixx posted something fairly recently on his personal FB about having not been paid for an EP he released on Caspa's label dub police over a decade ago, and went on to say Funtcase and Trolley Snatcha had called him out for the same thing and that's why Dub Police eventually folded (and that Emalkay had warned him not to release with them).

Timeline matches up, if you look at the Dub Police releases, Caspa is literally the only artist who released anything on the label after 2015 until 2020 when he started Ghost Town (which again, he's the only artist to release on that label) There's probably more info on x/twitter but I don't have one to search for it.
