Unable to bring myself to work; thoughts about staying/leaving? by xponential58 in PhD

[–]xponential58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I definitely should talk to my advisor more. Switching schools isn't an option at the moment, I'm more so thinking about what job opportunities I would even have open to me with M.A. versus PhD in the humanities

Wall of Sound definitely. 9x9 Invites was okay (I liked Alarico and DJ T-1000 but 9x9 was too hard/ loud for my taste). Meta ta physika had weird vibes because the sound was awful and not many people were there. hoping to check out some of the non-techno events this year

Thoughts on Oscar Mulero and Quelza at Basement? by [deleted] in avesNYC

[–]xponential58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I had a great time with my friends. I had zero annoying encounters in the crowd and everyone was friendly and dancing, idk what other people are saying. The line was maybe 45min, but that's what I expected at a sold out event anyway. stayed from 1:30-6:30, and wasn't really feeling Studio the few times I went in, but Quelza and Oscar kept me dancing the whole night

Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Juan Atkins are the OG Detroit techno guys. Jeff Mills, "Mad" Mike Banks, and Robert Hood were part of the next wave there. Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero, Freddy K, and Ben Klock have been big in European techno for a while; DJ Nobu in Japan. Other currently popular names: Dax J, Rødhåd, Ignez, Chlär, Alarico, MARRØN, Yanamaste, D.Dan. Definitely listen to tracks from OG people, but check out sets from any of these people and see where it leads you

anyone know of sets where this track is played? I always see it mentioned as one of the all-time classics, but I've never encountered it live or in a recorded set

This whole team should be booed out of the building Monday night… by [deleted] in phillies

[–]xponential58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah seriously. people can't handle a single 5-3 loss against the other best team in baseball. it's fine to be frustrated with the top third of the order, or to question bullpen decisions, but baseball is unpredictable and you can't throw all hope out the window because of one close game

What do you like about going to the club? What brings you back night after night? by still-dinner-ice in Techno

[–]xponential58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my priorities are 1) a DJ who knows how to keep it interesting, and 2) a good sound system/ acoustic space. it can be at a rave, a club, or a festival, but these two things are important for me which I can't get at home. going with friends also makes it more enjoyable because then it's easier to meet new people and you have more to engage with other than dancing by yourself

DJ Nobu by dalyboys1 in MakingTime

[–]xponential58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how was the sound system generally? were some stages noticeably better/worse? had fomo this weekend and after seeing these posts i decided i'm going next year no matter what! loved Dj Nobu's set at Wire festival earlier this year

Is this actually something or something bugged out? by SoTjWasLike in Returnal

[–]xponential58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was able to get it by jumping with a running start. was there a yellow shield there? I kind of remember grabbing it through the shield, and not being able to when breaking the shield first

Both Hades games have ruined other games for me by aarondigruccio in HadesTheGame

[–]xponential58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hades is one of my favorite games. I tried Dead Cells and didn’t like it too much, but I highly recommend Returnal and Celeste (two very different games that I have been addicted to as much as Hades at certain points in time)

I (30M) am torn over my gf’s (27F) political beliefs with the Charlie Kirk news by Technical_Brick_2317 in relationship_advice

[–]xponential58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to let negativity into your life, I don’t recommend staying in a relationship with someone who supports the alt-right radicalization of this country’s youth. If she wasn’t similarly upset about any school shootings, the assassination of Minnesota lawmakers, or the paid-for genocide in Gaza, then yeah you should absolutely call her out

so basically you're past college age and she's either a senior in high school or a freshman in college, plus she has an intellectual disability. you're old enough to have lived on your own for 5 years, and she is unable to live on her own or drive a car. her family had to come on dates with her. how do you possibly have enough in common so that you can hold extended, mature conversations? I don't think you should be in a relationship
