    I have a couple setups...

    Small "board": Boss GT-1B + EHX Bass Soul Food + EHX Bass Clone + Eden WTDI. Haven't grabbed the 2 EHX pedals yet, but they're coming soon.

    Big board: MXR Bass Envelope Filter + Empress Compressor (v1) + EHX Bass MicroSynth + EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi + EBS ValveDrive (v1) + TC Sub'n'Up + EBS UniChorus + Empress Reverb + Boss DD-500. I also have an EBS WahOne which I don't use anymore, and a TC Sentry I use when needed. And when I have that kind of money, I want to switch the ValveDrive out for a Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra (the Φoton, or Phooton/Futon as I call it, is too expensive for me right now)

    Both with TC PolyTune 3 tuners.

    I see a lot of discussion stemming from this... And to me, the key is in Deimos' hands.

    Or more like what they rather make of Tildes, internationally. If the intention is to have tildes be a mainly US site, I'd understand "football" being the American football sub, and "soccer" being the "what the rest of the world plays" sub. Kinda like how on Reddit "news" refers to US news, and "WorldNews" (or rather AnimeTitties) has to be specified as the "non-US news" sub.

    On the other hand, if the intention is to have the site be global... I don't think "football" should be the denomination for the NFL/NCAA/etc sport. And I'd agree with the "none get the football denomination" way.

    Actually, it's posted as OT. There's literally one post right now there about the NASCAR winner (who isn't even a former F1 driver). But yeah, here it's a matter of if there should be a single...

    So like, on r/formula1, if a former F1 driver won the Indy 500, you wouldn't post it on r/formula1 because you wouldn't be expecting to see results from another series there.

    Actually, it's posted as OT. There's literally one post right now there about the NASCAR winner (who isn't even a former F1 driver).

    But yeah, here it's a matter of if there should be a single ~sports.motor, or have specific ~sports.motor.f1, ~sports.motor.superbikes, etc

    Haven't set foot on reddit since the start of the blackout (except once or twice, funnily enough to check if there was a new "Tildes invite requests" thread opened in the r/Tildes sub... Before I got invited after following the instructions in the Tildes blog and requesting it via email).

    But I mostly miss the news, sports and music subs. Both r/news and r/AnimeTitties (as news hubs), r/SquaredCircle (I wonder if we could ask for ~sports.SquaredCircle or ~sports.wrestling to be created here?), r/soccer, r/F1, r/music (and genre-specific subs)... Oh, and also the Marvel ones, and the PS4/PS5 ones.

    I force myself to only listen to albums released in the current year whenever I drive (to/from work, for example). I will other situations (at home, at work, etc), it depends on my mood.

    And which ones do I choose, and how? The illegal way. Every weekend, I go to scene release websites, check the mp3 releases for the genres I like (rock, metal, alternative, jazz, pop, etc), see the 2023 releases from the past week (new albums get released on Fridays, so that's when they appear online), give those that catch my eye a quick listen (bandcamp, deezer, etc), and I get those I like.

    About "catching my eye": this comes from back in the iRC scene days, I guess it's a "good success %" skill. If I'm bored and have time, I'll check everything I can, but if not, it's based on feel. Also regarding the old scene days, albums rarely (almost never) leak in advance.

    edit: forgot to mention, I also like to make "best of the year" album lists at the end of the year. I make a rock/metal one, and an "other genres" one.
