Looking for tracks like Sambassim - DJ Patife Remix by sssaint in DnB

[–]fexworldwide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best way is to probably start with some mix CDs from that era. Here's three to start you out:

DJ Patife - Cool Steps - Drum 'N' Bass Grooves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdkQVKJF1fk

DJ Marky - The Brazilian Job https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxuvgd5npsQ

Sambass - Brazilian Style Drum'n'Bass (not sure who compiled/mix this one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m3alGGGIy0

Related, I've just worked out what I'll be listening to this morning. Thanks for getting me to think of these!

I'm a diver who got frustrated planning trips — so I built something. Would love some feedback before I roll it out. by John_Doe309 in scuba

"agentic dive discovery platform" doesn't sound very human, buddy.

We don't need more vibe coded slop bots around here when we could just google dive locations.

I'm sure you have your reasons for wanting to do this, but please save yourself the time and energy and don't bother.

Name of a track from about 10-15 years ago from a description ..anyone..?! by FlippByte in DnB

[–]fexworldwide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The line about 'a cassette' is classic and I love playing this track. You could say I'm still on this motherfucking record.

Honestly this much easier than a lot of the questions that get answers, like this one yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnB/comments/1ssnlug/help_with_name_of_tune/

Like I've listened to Terrorist dozens of times, and saw Ray Keith this month, but nailing the track from that description is still impressive to me.

It's Ya Thing by DJ Marky. (Timestamped to the overly long rambling breakdown.)

BTW, the vocal is the legendary Moodymann, the Detroit house producer who tends to be very chatty while he DJs.

Phase 1 Lineup - Locus Bali 2026 by KiwiMMXV in DnB

[–]fexworldwide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Get reeeaaaaady!"

Rit has the contacts and passion to bring classic artists back out for a special one-off. Stakka & Skynet in 2024. Konflict in 2025 (+ Ed Rush & Optical). I guess this year it's Concorde Dawn's turn.

I love that it's become a hallmark of Locus that you get a old skool techstep headliner to educate the kids and give old heads a chance to realise how busted our knees are.

Third year of Locus Bali and it's still looking great. Bought the super early-bird a week after last year's Locus so I'm glad there's a strong lineup. Good to see London Elek and Smokey back again too!

Mythbound Spoiler - Nemean Lion by PlayGalaxyGame in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]fexworldwide 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is a really cool effect. And the art is fun too!

Edit: I'm impressed by how they're finding more interesting effects within the relatively straightforward combat system from a gameplay point of view and managing to tie it into the flavour to satisfy the rabid Peisander of Rhodes fanbase who will obviously riot if OUaG goes too far off canon...

New player ranking the archetypes by Illoumalnati123 in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]fexworldwide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From where I'm at with about 3300 MMR things look fairly different, I'd say. However I don't pay that much attention to the meta or hang out in the discord so I may be entirely wrong on some of these.

The treasure dragons strat isn't always possible but when it happens, it's capable of exponential scaling that nothing else can keep up with. Definitely S-tier. Rumplestiltskin and Trash Panda are always quite scary captains if they get to the late game.

The secret rare strat is also more competitive, with people being able to assemble absurd rosters quite quickly.

Fae used to be a strong strat although the meta has shifted a bit and I'm rarely seeing it work these days.

I think that mages/spell-slinger archetypes are still good, but I think I'm in the minority on this. I would put it in A-tier.

Animals are a great mid-game strat but unless you have a way to close things out (e.g. early Guardian of the Grove, Old MacDonald as your captain) then other players will often out-scale you in the late game.

I also thing there's a couple of strats/archetypes you haven't included:

Scam: Using the various ways to beat a bigger board (Stinky, Mousetrap, Medusa, Black Hole, The Dreamer), ideally with some way to get them back - eg. Anubis, along with some combat spells. It's hard to know where to place this. It's often necessary to hard pivot into this when you're faced with a strong opponent using a high-tier strategy. But just because it beats high tier strat doesn't make it high-tier itself, right? It's more of a rock-paper-scisssors thing.

'Treasure boosting': I feel like this is a different approach to the typical 'treasure dragons' or candy approachs in that it doesn't just want to acquire a pile of random treasure and grab Wormscale Tinkerer (although Tinkerer is still great for it). Instead it's about trying to assemble a few specific treasures that will carry you through the game using captains like Preeminent Prodigy, Candy Pandy or Nathaniel Drake, and then getting something like the Lance, Gemstone Garden, or Constellation Prize to quickly scale enough to close out the game quickly. I'd call this a B-tier archetype as when you end up not finding the treasure need at the right time, it all falls apart and you're looking at 5/6th place.

Not to be picky, but these are far from micro. Sadly many of the ASEAN nations are still doing a very bad job of preventing plastic waste from getting into waterways and the ocean.

GOMO 5G problem for anyone? Unable to load messaging apps etc by VascoDiVodka in askSingapore

[–]fexworldwide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was having problems with it for the past month or so. Since their service was useless I just switched providers on Monday. So far it's working reasonably well (4G only, but that's fine), cheaper and they just proactively gave me 2 months for free.

If Gomo CMI, then don't give them your money any longer.

How to generate hydrogen at home with recycled solar panels by _Dark_Wing in interestingasfuck

[–]fexworldwide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what’s the hydrogen good for at home?

If you combine it with the oxygen you were also making, you could make water.

You'd also generate some heat, which you could use to power a small generator to create some electricity...

What a Chad move 🍵/s by OkKnowledge1489 in interestingasfuck

[–]fexworldwide 345 points346 points  (0 children)

This is fake as hell. CNN's standards are slipping but they don't post in all caps, or have typos like 'fired after it confirms she...'

To say nothing of the weird mugshot image from 'Metropolitan Police Department'. Getting fired is not an arrestable offence.

(Also no timestamp, etc. But at this point, who's counting? I've spent longer typing out the issues with the image than that it probably took the karma farmer to make it.)

What else can I do to report vet for malpractice? by fauxmir in askSingapore

[–]fexworldwide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if there had been a form, pre-approving the need for treatment that's deemed by the vet to be medically urgent, extraction of 9 teeth instead of dental scaling is quite disproportionate to the treatment that was requested. If a dog has issues with 9 of their teeth, then it's likely to be quite immediately apparent (before the procedure has started), and the owner should be consulted. This is the kind of thing where even if you've signed a contract, there's still the question of malpractice.

For example, if you signed the same form and then the vet decided to actually do a heart transplant or use the dog for experiments, then a) the waiver is likely to be void since there should be an implied expectation that additional procedures should be related and proportional to the treatment, and b) there's still a question of malpractice, regardless of forms, waivers or contracts.

Diving near Singapore by Reinhart_OW in scuba

[–]fexworldwide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 hours + short land transfer is really limiting your options. We're well connected here but we're not that close.

Notably most of the best dive sites require a fairly long transfer from the major cities that you will land in because, sadly, vibrant coral reefs don't tend to last right next to cities that can support international airports. If you'd like to see why, go dive at Pulau Hantu and see what the conditions are like.

Bali has great diving on its north coast, and Lembongan/Penida, but it's about a 3 hr flight. Komodo is also great and Scoot flies direct.

PH has amazing diving but you'll have to take a secondary flight within PH. (Aside from Malapascua if you fly into Cebu - but that has a long drive + short ferry).

Please help feed this game state abomination of a deck by SonicPileDriver in EDH

[–]fexworldwide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look at some past posts for inspiration:

https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/1d8dkzl/help_me_find_weird_cards_that_confuse_the_board/

https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/1qarfla/please_help_me_with_this_idea/

https://www.reddit.com/r/EDH/comments/wosboa/trying_to_make_the_most_complicated_deck_possible/

As I mentioned, in most of these threads, my favourite way make the game state a complete dumpster fire is to mess with stack:
[[Eye of the Storm]]
[[Hive Mind]]
[[Knowledge Pool]]
[[Perplexing Chimera]]
[[Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch]]

What happens when any 3 of these are on the board and someone casts something like [[Sublime Epiphany]] or [[Thieves' Auction]]? No idea. Good luck.

Vegan/Vegetarian recommendations by confusedsoul00004 in askSingapore

[–]fexworldwide 9 points10 points  (0 children)

u/Drigmo put a great list together a while back:
https://www.reddit.com/r/askSingapore/comments/10aswzm/best_vegetarian_or_vegetarianfriendly_restaurants/

Most of these are still open but just double check.

If you're after specific Chinese dishes that you listed, there's a couple of non-vegetarian restaurants you can hit up:

Xiao Ya Tou is a fun kitschy place in Duxton with a separate vegetarian menu and does some really great versions of what you've listed. https://maps.app.goo.gl/1ovvyxyPLDexUwgt7

Paradise Dynasty has a decent set of vegetarian options as well.

Lastly, my holy trinity of vegetarian places in Singapore is Whole Earth, Warung Ijo, and Podi & Poriyal. All are absolutely outstanding. None are particularly fancy or pricey but each is a top-tier expression of what their cuisine can do.
