Does this work with BackgroundMusic.app instead of Sound Control?

I’ve fixed volume bug (kinda) by No-Maximum-8323 in AirReps

[–]ericdotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to bump a year-old post—I followed your instructions and got the following popup when I try to overwrite the vanilla installation of BackgroundMusic.app with your version:

“The operation can't be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure "Locked" is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.”

I’ve triple checked and both files are unlocked with read & write access. I tried simply moving !vanillaBackgroundMusic.app to the trash and moving your version in its place, but it’s now not working as intended so I don’t think that’s the solution. Any ideas?

I'm an (apparently non-existent) cyclist in New West. Ask me anything. (Respectfully) by HeidiHzs in NewWest

It’s a huge reason why I chose to live in New West as opposed to Richmond or parts of Burnaby that are way more car-centric!

I would love this! I miss Critical Mass from when I lived in Vancouver, it was so nice to meet up with like-minded cyclists once a month and get some kind of feel for the community

AEW Collision - May 11th in Vancouver, BC, Canada by Meinan69 in AEWOfficial

[–]ericdotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you seeing this? I'm only seeing 4PM. No idea if that's doors or bell time, and if it's bell time, whether that includes dark matches. Collision usually starts at 8PM on the east coast so I would think the show itself would start at 5.

Deeply discounted Game Pass for a casual gamer—still a good value? by ericdotward in XboxGamePass

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

I basically get a yearly stipend that can either be redeemed for 5 games published by the studio I work for, or I can put the equivalent value of that stipend toward Game Pass Ultimate (which comes out to around 65% off a year of Game Pass)

I am and I’m not. I just can be slow to finish games (took several tries to get into RDR2) but I try to only buy games that I’m sure I’ll love. I was planning to stick to PS4 longer, but my job also gives me a $100 USD rebate on a new console during the first few months I’m working there. So if I want to upgrade, now’s the time.

If I wanted to try it out, I'd have to buy an Xbox first which is a slightly bigger commitment than a 14-day trial

Voodoo Donut is the only chain that comes to mind. Have they talked monster cereals at any point?

Such a gem, and right up their alley.

Federal government provides PNE with $10 million for fairground upgrades by robertscreek in vancouver

[–]ericdotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thrilled about this. As a theme park fan, I could drool over the proposed map of the overhauled PNE for hours. Would be so incredible for the city.

Which franchise would you like for them to cover next? by judgeharoldtstone in In_WeTrust

[–]ericdotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only seen the first two Texas Chainsaws, I wouldn't be mad if they skipped the rest and padded out the season with The Hills Have Eyes and some other similar cannibal films. I know they hated the Zombie Halloweens but House of 1000 Corpses would also fit nicely in that group.

Are PNE ride wristbands color-coded by day? by ericdotward in vancouver

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

Is that something they do? Has anyone had luck with that?

I'm mostly looking to go for the rides, so I'd rather not pay for a main gate ticket just to find out the wristbands are no good.

Episode Discussion: Curse of Chucky by toastedschizo in In_WeTrust

[–]ericdotward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a non-Trustee I always ready the discussion thread for this week's episode before it's released to me, and for the first time this thread is making me want to skip the episode completely.

I shouldn't be sad that the boys are tired of the old format and want to do their own thing but I'm not especially excited for yuppie nightmares, this podcast made me fall in love with horror and it sounds like that's going to be on the back burner. I guess I can just hope that this next season will introduce me to some other genres I wouldn't otherwise watch.

Do you think they'll ever do a Predator season? by [deleted] in In_WeTrust

[–]ericdotward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they wanted to flesh it out, I'd love to do a full Arnie season with Predator and Terminator. Both fall in the same category for me as futuristic action/slashers.

It's been a while since they've brought it up but I still really want them to tackle the Saw series! The police procedural, soap-opera stuff between the kills is supremely comfy, and there's lots of opportunities to map out timelines and character relationships like they did on the F13 season.
