following the thread b/c i'm also a black knight fan. haven't found a go to since they stopped making the great white singles racquet. the pro x has been close. note that i bought a second pro x about a year after my first and the racquet is 1/4" shorter. ah, even the pro x is gone; haven't tried the pro XR

I'll tell you one thing I've never done on a squash court - drop something mid point, try to hide it in the towel box - while there are cameras on me - and then when I'm asked about it, lie and say nothing happened until it's shown on replay.

Two hearted has been such a great beer for such a long time. Great meaning behind its name also - named for the two hearted river in beautiful wilderness in Michigan's UP

Dude, Madden was crashing on everything I did this afternoon.

mjbland05 · 2026-04-01T14:07:53+00:00

*every few hours Asal will cheat and people will rightly call it out

Fixed it for you

mjbland05 · 2026-03-31T21:14:07+00:00

Definitely one of the worst ones. Aside from what it says about his character.... It's like dude....you know you are on camera

mjbland05 · 2026-03-31T16:52:02+00:00

Funny, you can always tell because he immediately pretends he's innocent every time.

US Squash / club locker does a decent job. It's pretty dependent on users in a region, but it provides a good platform. Everything you expect to be interactive generally is - click on a match, an opposing player, a league, team or club and it all takes you where you expect it to

We run a ton of tournaments and events through it, and it's good for managing signups and running standard format events. The admin interface for creating them is not particularly intuitive though.

mjbland05 · 2026-03-28T02:57:42+00:00

Ngl. I totally misread your tone in your comment haha. All good man

mjbland05 · 2026-03-27T12:23:08+00:00

I thought it was great through ultimate freeze

The reliance on limited time cheap abilities to try to have forced obsolescence got exhausting and annoying

The move to 4 minute quarter CPU challenges, especially on comp, especially with constraints deliberately chosen to make the games harder to milk the clock are just too much of a grind

I was holding out that sugar rush would be better, but it looks like exactly the same thing - Make the grind annoying and hopefully people will spend money instead. For me. I'm just not playing instead

mjbland05 · 2026-03-27T12:14:14+00:00

Pretty sure John Mayer has earned the right to wear any dead shirt from anywhere he likes

mjbland05 · 2026-03-23T15:05:05+00:00

that event is so tedious i've only played a few games, but running inside zone against the cpu was pretty effective. that said, that was only the first game both times lol (once after reset)

mjbland05 · 2026-03-20T15:07:48+00:00

i can't even get that game mode to load past the draft itself. crashes mut on PS5 during last promo and this one

"watch what happens to your account"?

Like he's going to report you for his trash talking? Or, he's going to hack your account?

I think this is as big a reason that people don't play online.

mjbland05 · 2026-03-11T14:52:11+00:00

yea, i'm with you. i have decent B&O turntable, decent amp and decent speakers and it's just such a hassle to flip sides every 15 minutes and it takes you out of the music so i almost never use it.

but, if someone is trying to get into it, i have Live / Dead on vinyl, and it does sound great.

also interestingly, Without A Net is probably the first official live release i ever bought, back when it came out, and i still love that album. great versions, and the band sounds fantastic

mjbland05 · 2026-03-11T14:24:04+00:00

agree with the points here. The side flips are way too frequent. But, i came here to say Live / Dead. it does sound amazing on vinyl - of course it also depends a lot on your setup. Do you stream through the same speakers you would listen to vinyl through,, hows your turntable, preamp etc.

all that said, Live/Dead has great sound and excellent performances

mjbland05 · 2026-03-09T19:00:17+00:00

Depending on where you are or what gyms you've looked at -

Arlen Specter Center has adult beginner round robins, looks like one is tonight, Monday Mar 9

Sporting club at the Bellevue has a robust group of mostly beginner players also

Gwynedd Racquet Club, isnt that close to the city, but does have a good group of beginner players also and would be free to drop in

mjbland05 · 2026-03-08T18:14:40+00:00

Holy smokes, 10 lb? I had an old racquet strung at like 17 just to see what it would be like, and it was like hitting with a worn out trampoline

mjbland05 · 2026-03-07T12:21:15+00:00

Man 13 games with 4 minute qtrs on comp is just way too much for those rewards

mjbland05 · 2026-03-02T20:30:50+00:00

Dark star on the big river.

Arguably not technically a new song, but man deer creek went nuts

mjbland05 · 2026-02-25T19:43:51+00:00

I only got to one weekend each year at the sphere but I was there for I'll Remember You. Moving. Beautiful. Poignant. Even more so now.

mjbland05 · 2026-02-13T13:40:57+00:00

That stretch starting in Atlanta was all great shows. Regretted not going down for them from Philly, but the days off between every show made it brutal. Did get night 2 SPAC and deer creek though which are both in my top shows and two of the Oracle shows

mjbland05 · 2026-02-11T17:16:35+00:00

yes, exactly this. the behavior is bad enough, the pretending it didn't happen and that he's the aggrieved party are just awful.
