My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I'll share anyway.

In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we're touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn't have it anymore. We left early.

Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

It was sad.

Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash's new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.

That is a fantastic ride! Growing up my mom has a white Galaxies 500 with blue interior. It was an amazing car.

What a lovely post. Thank you for sharing it.

I'm 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.

That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.

I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won't have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.

Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.

Really shitty behavior from both the IOC and whatever group is in charge of judging and the rules.

This is fantastic. Thank you.

This relationship can be saved as long as the guy's wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she's one of those "Notepad is all I need" types, there is hope this can be worked through.

A fascinating bit of baseball history (project318.substack.com)

I'm trying to learn to be a fan of baseball. This sort of history helps shape that burgeoning fandom.

I've long thought I should be a baseball fan, join me on a quest to become one.

Fucking hero. Law enforcement in Uvalde should take notes.

There's a song, I think I only heard one time likely on KGON in Portland, OR and likely in the late 70s. This song has haunted me over the years but I have never been able to locate it again.

The one thing I really remember is that there is a spoken-word portion where the vocalist talks about the Boogie Woogie, but pronounces it more like Boozhi Woozhi.

I'm laying in bed quarantined with Covid and once again its memory and my inability to determine what song it was is haunting me.

Where's the problem? She and her husband were obviously consenting, the viewers were consenting.

Who the hell cares.

My favorites broke. They were working great but now they don't work at all. I can't favorite anything there icon sits in the middle of the plus sign and I can't move it to any open slot. Things I had already favorites continue to work, but I can't add new things or swap things out.

I've tried dropping my entire inventory and then picking things back up but that is not resolving there issue. It's not game-breaking but it is frustrating.

I own XCOM 2 on PC. Is it worth getting it on the Series X so I can play while sitting on the couch?

How does XCOM 2 play on the Series X? Is it worth getting even though I already own it on PC?

Love the game and would love to be able to play sitting on my couch!

Anyone have any insight into Rapids v. Timbers? Should I stay up later than I was planning (I'm on the East Coast). Or should I go to bed?

BTA 3062 (lemmy.world)

Shortly after my previous post about BEX, my merc company folded due to a lack of funds.

I took the opportunity to install BTA and give it a try. I love the depth, I love the details, but I'm really struggling with the lack of a cohesive art style. I'm finding it pulling me out of my suspension of disbelief.

Has anyone else had that difficulty? Will I outgrow it with time?

If the video game is fair game...

I've been playing BEX, and I suck at it mostly. I always play Ironman, so that entails lots of restarts. I finally have a merc company that has lasted a bit. I've moved up to 2 and 2.5 skull missions.

Needed some money quickly and took a 1.5 skull mission. Comstar showed up, wiped my lance it was the last mission in my current system, I didn't know what I was going to do to not go bankrupt.

Discovered I had Shadowhawk in cold storage sold it, started taking out my "starter" mechs on half-skull and one-skull missions, I'm starting to become a bit more financially solid again and may have survived afterall.
