You know every interview I have seen with this guy reminds me of how quiet he actually is vs how lit up he is on a pitch. I like him and I hope he closes his career with us. Good attitude, willing to bust a lung to get things done and doesn't engage in frivolous topics of discussion when quizzed by the media.

It was nice seeing him step up when things looked bleak and he scored the first century in an Eliminator which his team needed. The other person who really showed up was Harshal. TBF to Lucknow they really shot themselves in the foot with the sloppy fielding which completely turned the game and gave Patidar his century.

The start of the this article and where it comes from is sign that pizza making is in safe hands. Although what the machine was able to do is quite cool.

What a match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants tonight in the IPL.

I think folks must be excellent at tap-dancing to do this. Today, as an example, I was trying to switch from a delay set to a harder tone set then back to delay and the hard part is really just understanding how to switch them at the right time otherwise you get such a horrible noise (even with a bass). But its getting better and this is like anything else with music, practice practice practice. I used to think that using a looper was hard and then this has now come up. The good news is that I am not alone as the band guitarist also suffers from this particular affliction.

Nice. The fact that more builders are putting these in their tools is a good thing. The only question now is how good the quality is although if you get close to whatever peddle you're mimicking who really cares. I have started learning how to pedal shift a lot these days. It's quite hard when you have to go from one tone to the other and you get no way to actually decrease the volume of what you're playing. I have new found respect for folks who can switch and change the mode settings in real-time on stage what a skill.

Cosplay like you've never seen before - CNN Style Weirdly interesting article.

Activision I totally get but EA makes no sense to me, they have IPs that are guaranteed money-makers with the exception of FIFA which is now going to be distanced from the actual football body since they said they are not renewing the license.

Thanks for running this @RandoEFC

Congrats @Bluewolf

@Viva la FCB you guys thinking of ramping up for OW2?

Im adding this to the list of things I want to watch now. If it's like The Wire its worth a watch imo

I know someone that has this and its really quite the piece of kit. I think its a little too much for me personally but where Line 6 has been better than the BOSS I have is that interface and easy of use. My personal favorite is still the Neural (Quad Cortex) just because it literally copies pedals if you need it to but even the older Boss pedals with the small pedals (i cant remember their names) are superb and give you some classic boss tones like Metal (not a fan favorite I know) and the distortion DS-1 or the overdrive (OD-3).

Put an AirTag in it so if you lose it you can track the bastard that stole it.

This man really puts gear through its pace. Nice that you're getting a modeller, its going to really give you so many options.

Been listening to the reissue.

I have the new Kirby game but I refuse to touch it until I am done with Elden Ring which has taken longer than I expected.

I feel like VAR is going to take a few more years to not get better but to be expected as the x-factor in deciding games. The implementations and the rules keep flipping to compliment the faults on either side of the fence and the bigger issue is that just like the way fouls are considered across the globe, VAR is also falling into a similar trap where phrases like "clear and obvious" are more aligned with how a ref wants to see it vs how it is. Having said that, its definitely improving from what it was earlier to what is now.

Nothing new but I have been playing a lot more. Band is back in town so we met up last weekend to chalk out some stuff we want to do and we're back in a room this weekend to try and start things off again. There's a bit of a discussion about doing weddings and I am all for it if we can make it happen.

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2022/may/10/electronic-arts-ditches-fifa-ea-sports-fc Seems like EA wants to do other things. I don't know whether this means they'll have less stats or what will happen to the franchise but its a bold move.

They need help and not the technical kind.

Didn't really know where to post this because I have just spent the last 3 minutes laughing and my eyes are literally tearing but here goes. Three weeks ago as part of an effort to setup machines for a showcase event someone got smart and decided to remote connect our entire showcase network using a single file that basically goes out and updates all the login credentials for the application, does some other fun stuff with storage connectivity, etc. Well, they ran this file and it locked out the entire marketing team and the entire development and testing teams too. And as a result our server ops team was called in. They aren't the most happiest folks in the world but they spent two weeks undoing what this file that took literally 2 mins to do, begrudgingly I might add. Unbeknownst to everyone, the person who was doing the demos for one of the features reached out to the original team that was setting up these boxes for the show and told them she couldn't login. They of course ecstatically jumped up and said wait we have a file that does this. We are one week away from a Trade Show Demo and I am drinking coffee and watching my communication stream explode. Someone is going to lose their job before the end of this week. Side note, they still haven't deleted that file.

Man went solo and cut an EP which isn't too shabby.
