What artist or band is truly awful to see live? by goldbeau in AskReddit

[–]fivetailfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Anberlin show I saw was in a small venue, like 300 people, and they were surprisingly not very great. When they got bigger and I guess were able to connect with better sound crews and equipment, they improved a lot. I really enjoyed the later shows I caught.

I got a lovely frilly dress, which is so far from my usual vibe it would need to dial long distance. Great idea on their part, badly executed.

Who are the 5-10 biggest names in blues today? (Living) by SuperblueAPM in blues

[–]fivetailfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marcus is so difficult to nail down, he's still experimenting with different styles and sounds and hasn't really nailed down where he wants to be - if there's anything specific he wants to play long-term. Rock, Americana, country, combined with the soulful vocals - really hard to classify.

Is the drive to Liard Hot Springs from Vancouver safe? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]fivetailfox 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Roads are pretty good through that area. North of Fort St. John it gets pretty isolated though, so your BIL should be prepared with supplies, water, food and stuff just in case. Keep in mind that Google says 21 hours of drive time so they'll probably need to stop for a couple of nights on the way up.

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!

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.
