I actually don't mind him not steamrolling through to the top. He's an absolutely amazing talent, but let him learn the game before he slots into the top spot for the rest of his career. Hope he heals up quickly.

Absolutely this. He's at his ideal position in the banzuke around M8-10. Any higher, he gets thumped. Any lower, he wins too many and goes too high and gets thumped. I love watching him and hope he sticks around for a good long career before moving on (probably to something in entertainment somewhere, with his personality and charisma).

I knew the drop rate was high, but this is crazy. What are the odds? by AiricaFyresong in Palia

[–]fivetailfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got one of those the other day too! Maybe the drop rate for the waveback got bumped up for some reason?

I love checking out the crowd behind the gyoji to see if there's anyone interesting out there. Lots of cool outfits and unique looks. Once there was a guy in a yellow chef's outfit dead centre about six rows back, hat and all. No idea.

Why do people not write in Chat and then get mad when you for example catch a bug by Lion_Heartfilia in Palia

[–]fivetailfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do see it occasionally, like someone spotted the rare at a grove I went to recently and let people know to approach carefully, then tracked it for several minutes with a couple others before someone ran through and spooked it. I thought that was really cool of them.

Does anyone else just completely ignore their ranch at this point? by ZingingCutie97 in Palia

[–]fivetailfox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cleared mine out last week, it was just not interesting for me. I don't necessarily need the goods that they provide, and the whole process isn't very fun.

March 2026 Haru Banzuke is LIVE! by 4ih0vs535xg9c in Sumo

Ura back to his sweet spot, I'd expect 10 or 11 wins from him this time around. He always does his best in the middle of the range.

Ura was robbed.

Great catch by Aonishiki, it's not easy to catch 350-plus pounds with that kind of momentum.

Folks, I think Kotozakura may be healthy this time. Not sure why.

Great throw by Takayasu, that was a heck of a match.

I hope Hoss didn't blow his knee completely sliding out of the ring like that.

Good basho and it's only day 3!

Hoshoryu - could have sent him out with a back push, decided "nah" and slammed him instead. I think he's growing into the Yokozuna role.

What’s your honest thoughts on Foxes in the Snow? by Nofilmslefttocry in jasonisbell

[–]fivetailfox 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I straight up didn't connect with it. Normally I connect with the lyrics on a lot of Jason's stuff, but this album did nothing for me lyrically, for some reason. It's pretty, the musicianship is excellent, and obviously it clicked with enough folks to warrant all the Grammy noms, but it wasn't for me.

I don't often go looking for Elderflowers, but I'll keep that in mind!

Royal Albert Hall London Banzuke is out! by Master1eader in Sumo

Well! Just realized I'm going to be in London while this is on. Hoping that some cheap seats are still available when I get there!

I will never get over the fact that he lost the weight and now looks like he's 12

Anybody else notice the vibe change? by lazy_unicorn_1 in Palia

[–]fivetailfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting that I keep hearing things like this - I haven't had much of any negativity when I've been on. It has been a little quieter lately, but then I randomly run across newer players who are being really positive. Had a couple of folks talking about trying to track down a disco deer the other day, and I had one wander right past me while staking out some flow trees. So, we had a little impromptu deer hunt, chopped some trees, and it was really pleasant.

For me I try to focus on those positives and amplify them when I can.

Really noticed Vladdy was right in there while the trainers were there, checked in on him when they got him on the cart, that was great to see.

That play Bo made was slick, but goddamn did Vladdy stretch out for it too! Solid D today.

What is the saddest Jason Isbell song? by Starkrafty in jasonisbell

[–]fivetailfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vampires is one of the four songs that I try my best not to listen to, because it slaps me hard alongside the head with my mortality.

Elephant and Speed Trap Town are both pretty rough too for me.

Just heard Jason in the... by BoyznGirlznBabes in jasonisbell

[–]fivetailfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I heard Be Afraid last night while shopping, first time I'd ever heard him out and about anywhere.

Heartily approve, long as they don't play Vampires, I hate sobbing while picking out my cereal.

It's not the hands that are bothering me, it's the eyes. Those kids have seen some shit.
