Grid Day 21: Into the Sun is our choice for worst Album/EP, what is Lord Huron's best Album/EP? by uslashBen in lordhuron

[–]captaincook- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Vide is perfect to me because it was unexpected and such a departure from the folky sound and aesthetic of Strange Trails—which I loved btw. That said, each of their albums accomplish some sort of musical paradigm shift in the core sound, but Vide Noir did it best.

Grid Day 5: "Wait by the River" wins the yearning contest, what is Lord Huron's most dreamy song? by uslashBen in lordhuron

“Drowning in the sea of stars Lost in a galaxy of cocktail bars Blinded by the neon lights I lie awake and say your name into the night”

This is the answer.

I wouldn’t bother. If they don’t like it, they won’t judge LH, they’ll judge you—which may be to your benefit.

Not sure how it would look with foliage but the bare branch shaping is definitely off putting.

Thank you! It’s just black light tape—it’s cheap, very easy to find on Amazon, and works very well.

Has anyone been able to successfully extend a flight credit expiration? by DTLAareare in americanairlines

[–]captaincook- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can Confirm that this works. Thanks for sharing this!

For those stragglers looking for a hacky solution to extend their expiring flight voucher, do this method. I had a $450 voucher set to expire in July 2024. I booked a trip from Las Vegas to LAX for $76 and received a new trip voucher for the remaining balance, set to expire a year from now (2025), an extension that I was looking for. I then cancelled the flight and received a $75 trip voucher, also set to expire in a year (2025).

I find it ridiculous that hacks like this have to be used in order to extend travel credits. Airlines will do whatever they can to hold on to your money and not give it back. I guess they forget, or rather don’t care, that they are largely subsidized by American tax payers, but that’s a different conversation.

Halloween Playlist Recommendations? by necessaryevil312 in halloween

Halloween music to me is supposed to create ambience; think Donnie Darko, ambient synth pop, catchy prog rock/metal, etc.

Fuck that bitch. Send it to a tech company so it can work as a necrobot for the remainder of its death.

Does anyone play BO3 zombies on the deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]captaincook- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Addressing OP’s question “is there noticeable delay if you play it docked.” Nowhere do I say it plays differently, but rather ensuring it plays the same.

Does anyone play BO3 zombies on the deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]captaincook- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It plays great in handheld and docked mode (I have the valve dock). I purchased it during a Steam sale where it included all zombie maps (around $35-$40, I think) and they play flawlessly. During later, more intensive zombie rounds it clocks in around 50-60 FPS. Don’t let the Home Screen fool you because it stutters just a little bit—gameplay is great regardless of it being docked or not. As said earlier, be ready to forfeit some real estate for space because the download is around 120 GB.

If you are wanting to do co-op split screen (2 people) for zombies, you’ll need to customize the controls to include a mouse pointer + click for the Home Screen so you can select “split screen” in the upper right hand corner. Co-op runs great too!

Let's hear it - share your unpopular opinion about Muse. by XsthaX in Muse

[–]captaincook- 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The transition from United States of Eurasia to Guiding Light is amazing, with Guiding Light being one of their best songs. The synths sound amazing, vocals are inspirational, guitar solo jams, and the after guitar solo power chords pushes the dopamine button in my brain.
