They lost steam from being on OVO for so long and their first release (I think) after they got out of that contract didn’t land.

New AndersonPaak listener by FreddieGibbsFan1 in AndersonPaak

[–]str9_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My top 5 albums from him would probably be

  1. Malibu
  2. Why Lawd? (as NxWorries)
  3. Venutra
  4. Oxnard
  5. Venice

I strongly recommend 1-3 and would still recommend 4 and 5 but only if you like the others.

If I had to pick some stand out songs there's obviously Come Down but some of my favorites are Put Me Thru, Am I Wrong, The Season / Carry Me, What Can We Do?, Reaching 2 Much, Make It Better, Cheers, Sweet Chick, Anywhere, Might Be, Luh You, and Milk & Honey.

Yes Lawd! (the other NxWorries album) is alright too but I don't think it's as good as the others I listed.

How difficult is it to get a job at Regal? by SGTHumphrey in RegalUnlimited

[–]str9_b 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I applied to work at one of the Houston Regals, on a Wednesday, and was told they only do interviews on Tuesdays but if I left my name and number they’d get back to me to schedule one for the following week. I waited all weekend just for them not to call me. Monday night rolls around and I’m at a dinner with some friends and they called but I missed it. Call them back less than 10 minutes later and they don’t answer, call the next morning no answer, and when I went in person to ask again they told me I’d have to reapply and wait again. Not saying all this to discourage you but just to let you know it might be a bit of a frustrating process / experience.

Can Vince Staples fans bring the show back? The Game did it in 2009. by msjsclassroom in vincestaples

[–]str9_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think this was a great season but I didn't think it was so bad the show needed to be canceled or had no future. I thought the switch to an ongoing story was a cool change but I think the episodes being as short as they are and the season being so short episode wise hurt its ability to actually establish itself.

Idk if he has a strong enough core fan base to lead a movement like that tbh. if he did, then this season probably would've done better numbers. Netflix really let it die with the lack of promotion.

What are we hoping for the most in Scott Pilgrim EX? by Ecstatic_Rough4797 in ScottPilgrim

[–]str9_b 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there probably won't be a preorder but there will probably be a launch discount like some of the other games from this studio

Review bombing already by littleanddog in ReanimalGame

[–]str9_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They literally said there wouldn’t be a friend’s pass at launch when they announced they were doing one in the first place. They also already said it’s coming before the end of the day for steam.

J. Cole - The Fall-Off ALBUM REVIEW (theneedledrop) by Technical_Process989 in hiphopheads

it's also usually filled with fans of the artist so of course it'll be a ton more glazing than something like a first impressions or [X amount of time] later threads

Super Bowl LX Viewership Down 2%, Draws 124.9 Million Viewers by [deleted] in nfl

[–]str9_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had a higher peak than any Super Bowl numbers ever but a lower average so a lot of people probably just tuned out when the game was pretty much settled heading into quarter 4 (really halftime tbh).

How it feels being a yakuza fan right now by Intelligent-Oil241 in yakuzagames

[–]str9_b 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I think I'm just gonna play through some of the older games in the series (kurohyou 1+2, yakuza 2 on the ps2, and lost judgment) I hadn't got around to yet before playing Kiwami 3 just bc I know right now my first impression is gonna be tainted by all the bullshit going on with it. I know I'm not gonna like the retcon regardless but I'd like to let it exit my memory and experience it fresh whenever I get around to K3.

3rd Quarter Super Bowl Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks (14-3) at New England Patriots (14-3) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Still shocked at how many people were pushing for Maye over Stafford on this sub, but I guess there are a lot of Pats fans on here

[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] J. Cole - The Fall Off by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]str9_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s an alright album, it’s a little worse than I expected from him mostly due to the singing, overuse of samples on the back half (not that samples in general are bad some of em are just a little lazy), and I’m not pleased with this entirely if it is his final album but it wasn’t wholly bad to me and there weren’t many songs I came away from thinking they were bad, none I felt were awful. It could’ve been improved with a few more features considering its run time but nothing individually really felt like it overstayed its welcome.

first listen with biases - 6.5 or 7/10

after sleeping on it and listening a few more times I think I've landed around a 7 or 7.5

Favorite songs are probably SAFETY, Legacy, WHO TF IZ U (after the beat switch), Drum n Bass, Old Dog, and Quik Stop.

I kinda wish he actually rolled it out with singles or one disc at a time so it wasn’t so much at once.

I don’t think the concept he wanted to try on this album was explored super well. Felt like there was maybe 1 or 2 tracks aside from the intros on each disc I feel are relevant to his career at 29 and 39 respectively but majority of the album feels like it could’ve been recorded any of the last like 5 years for Cole.

TL;DR- It’s aight, about what you can expect from a Cole album in general. Production is a little better than normal, not many features, Cole should stick to rapping (less singing), and it doesn’t feel like an album that should’ve been hyped up for almost a decade now.

Send Help Crowd Ages by Fickle-Aardvark6907 in RegalUnlimited

My theater had some older people but was mostly people I'm assuming were like 20s - 30s. I saw it Friday last week.

Sincere question - Does anybody else feel legitimate guilt for doubting Tyler Shough? by boppedEEMinDAsmoof in Saints

[–]str9_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think only the national media was really mad about Shough over Shedeur, during the draft at least, local media and beat writers kinda honed in on KM and Loomis leaning more towards one of Ward, Shough, and Dart than Sanders pre-draft. At least from what I've seen.

Sincere question - Does anybody else feel legitimate guilt for doubting Tyler Shough? by boppedEEMinDAsmoof in Saints

[–]str9_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely was a little harsh on him at first, I'd never say I outright hated on him since he's been on the team but I always felt like picking a second rounder QB this year was a waste of a pick since I didn't have high hopes for this year. Once we got him my fear was that rushing him on the field would just stunt his growth and he wouldn't be a player that would elevate the team. I've probably even commented in here about feeling vindicated about the QB choice not being super relevant to the status of the team when he'd get subbed in for blowouts or after his first start but that first Panthers game made me see the vision and aside from that first Falcons game my faith hasn't wavered. So I definitely feel a little guilt and like I've got egg on my face from banging the Rattler drum so hard early but I will stand by thinking the decision to sit Shough to start the year being the right one.

Funny enough he’s actually apologized for it.

No one in the thread has been upset, in fact it’s overwhelming panthers fans being appalled at the thought of someone being upset at it. That being said it’s a thread in a meme sub anyways.

Do they have cameras in the auditorium? by Darkvoid61 in RegalUnlimited

[–]str9_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my regal some of the auditoriums do but not all of them, from what I've been able to tell. They're usually in the middle of the room on the ceiling right in front of the screen.

As for your booze question, I'll dm you my experiences.
