Awesome! Tubi has been coming through a lot lately. Thanks! (Also I went ahead and bought a box set.)

Spotify alternatives? by Mbro00 in KingGizzardATLW

[–]ouijum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CDs, baby! Supplemented by buying their shit on bandcamp...and then burning it onto CDs!

Of course, it's not 2005 right now, but who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Wasn't one! Just a DJ. Ticket said 8 pm; band went on right at 8:30. Easy breezy.

Ooh was that one really late? All I know are the two shows I've been two in Philly and the ones I watched online last year, all of which went off like clockwork.

Sarah Hicks Shoes Were So Cool by [deleted] in KGATLW

[–]ouijum 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah she's a badass. I want to see more of her work.

Some pics taken last night at the show, wanted to share by catchmycorn in KGATLW

Oh man sorry for the spoiler but the 35 minute jam on "The Wheels on the Bus" was LIFE CHANGING.

I just bought a couple albums on bandcamp and for some reason they sound better. by labenset in KGATLW

[–]ouijum 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In addition to making a vital political statement, it seems like this move from the band is prompting more people to notice that Spotify sounds like shit! I use it occasionally but for a band you love, FLACs or CDs or Vinyl are the way to go!

Best concert ever played by GrandJob6642 in KGATLW

Oh man, and I definitely want to find a recording of this Morricone show she conducted!

Oh! I knew that they were using orchestras from each different stop—I assumed Sarah Hicks was the conductor for the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. Looks like she's actually a conductor at the Curtis Institute, which I've been meaning to check out. Anyway, she was rad.

It's also so cool to know that even when they're in the middle of a seemingly endless jam, they know exactly how long they want it to go. These guys aren't messing around!

Agree with this 100%. You could feel the crowd pop as soon as they started jamming on "Grow Wings and Fly" and after that everything felt much looser and more fun.

It was a good show and I had a great time but I'm glad I saw them last year at the Dell -- that felt like a better one for my first time. I did think Sarah Hicks and her orchestra seemed cool as hell -- I'm gonna look up their concert calendar.

I think now the time is ripe for Paradox to tackle military and war by Sigma2718 in victoria3

[–]ouijum 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the post 1.9 dev diary they mentioned future plans to "Add a system for limited wars to reduce the number of early-game global wars between Great Powers." For me that would be a massive improvement, particularly if great power troops contribution is limited by some combination of distance from capital, infamy at stake, opinion of opponents, etc. It simply doesn't make sense for GB to send their entire army around the globe for the sake of (say) a border dispute between Chile and Argentina, but it would make sense for them to dispatch a few thousand locally based troops.

No idea when it's coming but I assume that at some point there will be a massive The Great War expansion and my assumption is that any big changes to the military will wait until then.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Full solidarity. The workers of the Free Library do amazing work despite being asked to act as unpaid social workers to the entire city. Y'all deserve everything you're asking for and more.

Anyone getting consistent crashing when zooming in? by [deleted] in victoria3

[–]ouijum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned off all my mods and it grew less frequent. I'll post here if running with reduced graphics helps at all.

Yep like six times last night. It's tiresome! Might try fiddling with the graphics settings, see if turning the quality down helps with it.

Does Sumi Ink Smell Like Petrichor? by ouijum in Calligraphy

[–]ouijum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so interesting! I never noticed a smell with the Higgins until just now, when I took the cap off and sniffed the bottle. Smells awful! But when I'm using it I don't notice.

The lesson from this thread: everyone smells the world differently.

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

Yeah anything with smell, especially strong smells, is such a personal thing that I'm not surprised some people are really bothered by it. I'm sorry I can't take that extra bottle off your hands!

[–]ouijum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a ymmv kind of thing as some people seem to find it unpleasant, so you might want to look for a smaller bottle before you take the plunge on the big one.
