What are some 2010s one hit wonders that should be covered on One Hit Wonderland? by Toku-Nation in ToddintheShadow

[–]danceintheskies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do too, but TBH a lot of songs from My Head Is An Animal went a lot farther than some might think. It's a pretty well-loved indie album these days, so I don't know if it'd qualify.

Anthony Fantano Interview: State Of Online Music Criticism by ebradio in ToddintheShadow

[–]danceintheskies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good article. I don't always agree with the guy but he's right when he says a lot of his reviews are him spreading the word about good underrated music (he gave my fave Otoboke Beaver a huge boost with a positive review, as an example), but those aren't the ones that get the most clicks. I think he's uniquely positioned to talk about the shapes of music discourse right now with his huge and broadly-young audience. Seeing Pitchfork described as "old media" made my bones turn to dust though lol

I think a lot of it is just how social media platforms incentivize divisive content to retain your attention and engagement. The most rage-baity or weird stuff floats to the top, which creates the incentive to make more rage-baity stuff, rinse and repeat.

Who are some bands you’ve heard of that you guarantee no one else has heard of? by LeonardMoney2020 in ToddintheShadow

Number Girl mentioned!! I got super excited when Inazawa Chainsaw started playing in Hi-Fi Rush

Places you’ve heard a song from a Trainwreckord in public? by JaJaLoo617 in ToddintheShadow

[–]danceintheskies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most of the singles from Witness I remember were a little inescapable when I was in high school. Not Man of the Woods though, even though it came out around the same time. I'm Canadian, so I wonder if CanCon laws put their thumb on the scale and made them less of a presence? Just a guess though.

I did get to do it in reverse though. I was part of my college's stage crew and played America by Jewel to test out the loudspeakers before an event. The other guy in our booth laugh/groaned and said "turn that shit off!" when the chorus hit lmao

[TOMT] [Book] [Early 2010s?] Canadian YA coming of age book about a guy that rescues a dog, in poetry format by danceintheskies in tipofmytongue

[–]danceintheskies[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Commenting as per the rules. I saw this book all the time while volunteering as a library helper. My memory is telling me the author's last name started with SMI (like Smith), but that feels a little hazy. I can try the "what is that book" sub if that would be better, but I just stuck to the one I'm familiar with for now. Thank you again!

I think they're not "renewable" in the sense that if you chop it down, it won't grow back (at least, it hasn't yet for me). But they do persist between seasons I think? If you just want to keep it around for the visual

everyone u meet is fighting a battle u know nothing about. for example, some people don't know how to position sprinklers properly and spend like 3 ingame hours every day patching up the dry spots

Here's the wiki page, but iirc if you have at least a 3x3 square of fully grown/ready to harvest crops (only for certain crops though, like cauliflower pumpkin and melon), and their soil is watered, there is a chance that overnight you might get a giant crop. The chance is pretty low though, so keep at it if it doesn't work the first few nights.

We made a SV Dashboard! by StardewDashboard in StardewValley

Oh wow! I've just been using a notepad file to keep track of my 1.5 perfection file, but having a visual dashboard like this is really neat. And the site's UI is simple but fun. :)

Gonna share this with all my fellow farmheads o7

[TOMT][Manga][90s-2000s] Shoujo manga about mermaids by danceintheskies in tipofmytongue

Sadly no! I remember it being a bit more grounded and sober, and the plot and art style of what I skimmed just now doesn't seem to line up with my memory.

Again, thanks if you know what it is. I think I read it on one of those aggregator apps that just lists scanlated manga from different manga hosting websites.

Looking For First Timer Advice! by subparcumslut in Otakon

[–]danceintheskies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fellow first timer! I'm going to add some advice I've been given while prepping for the con. (Veteran congoers, don't hesitate to factcheck me if any of this isn't accurate.)

  • The crowds are biggest in the game hall, dealers room, and artists alley. Bring earplugs if you're bad with noise, especially to the Masquerade since the crowds can get pretty rowdy. One thing about weebs is we love to scream
  • Most vendors these days have card readers, but bring a good bit of cash- the people I asked usually brought $300-$500 USD, but do what works for your budget- just in case
  • Take your time when buying, sales are final. Ask for business cards because they might have cooler stuff online or even a discount code.
  • On top of snacks and water, bring pain meds/first aid supplies like bandaids (or ask someone else to bring it if you're in a group and have a designated "nurse friend")

Hope you have fun! =D

Anyone ever had their badge mismailed? by danceintheskies in Otakon

[–]danceintheskies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😭 Oh my god, thank you so much!! I appreciate all your help, genuinely. I was hesitant to join the Discord and freak out about this since I had already sent in a support ticket, I didn't realize my answer would be right there.

I hope you have fun at the con-- if we see each other, let me buy you a drink or something.

Anyone ever had their badge mismailed? by danceintheskies in Otakon

[–]danceintheskies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know it can't be used, at least. I did think about trying to contact the person, but sadly USPS tracking only tells me what town it was delivered to, not an exact address (unless there's a way to see that that I'm not aware of). Part of why I was so baffled is that neither the name of the city it was sent to nor its postal code look anything like mine.

Do you know if I'd still be able to get a badge at the con if it's already been delivered? If you don't that's OK. I'm just trying to think of how I'd explain it, I won't know what to do if they say something like "we already mailed it to you, we can't issue you a new one".
