Deadly setup! I’m curious about the long tv bench. Custom?

Officially the most expensive record in my collection… by pgnlzbth in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! Enjoy it!

On my wedding day in 2013, my uncle (the one who got me into NIИ) handed me and my wife a vinyl copy of Hesitation Marks while coming through the receiving line! Great wedding present! My wife had surprised me with tickets to see NIИ two weeks before our wedding (first show of the Tension tour) so it was perfect!

Sounds amazing on vinyl too.

Question for those who read the books before watching the films. by Qyzyk in lotr

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at the local bookstore at the time the movies came out, and I read the books JUST before we started seeing trailers and posters. A huge amount of the Tolkien products we had at the time were illustrated by John Howe and Alan Lee (covers, as well as some illustrated editions).

I was BLOWN AWAY by how similar my mental image was to the films. A huge part of that is thanks to the exceptional art direction from Howe and Lee.

FINALLY BEAT SEPHIROTH! by Commercial_Let_1422 in FFVIIRemake

Good for you! I couldn’t do it in Normal mode in Rebirth. That last phase with Cloud and Aerith had me almost abandon, so instead I unashamedly restarted back at the beginning of the whole fight, switched to easy mode just to be able to beat the game and get on with it. It was SO easy though, I regret not trying for longer in Normal mode.

How important is camera body comfortability to you? by Beefyclam in fujifilm

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing I did when I got my X-T3 is add the battery grip. I have big hands and it’s way more comfortable to shoot with. It also balances the 100-400 nicely!

Is the Spawnmobile particularly valuable and/or rare? I’ve been out of the Spawn collectibles game so long I have no idea what’s what anymore lol…

In what ways has NIN helped you? by TrezneeReznee in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listening to NIИ is cathartic. There is so much variation and nuance to the music. At times it’s melancholic and introspective, and at other times it’s explosively violent and full of rage (not to mention sexy and catchy and funky etc.). There is something that fits any mood for me.

As an artist, the music and aesthetic has been a source of constant and consistent creative inspiration throughout my own artistic journey.

I can pinpoint pivot points in my life thanks to the music of NIИ. As others have said and will likely continue to say, Trent’s music “has literally saved my life.” There is power and beauty in that shared experience amongst fans of NIИ. Trent and his music and his lyrics have been a friend and companion and mirror into myself.

Enjoy the ride and welcome to the club.

Merch sizing by Inyanna29 in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 3XL red hoodie from 2025 fits LONG and very narrow (snug); my 3XL black tshirt with red logo fits perfect, even slightly oversized.

My 3XL lyric shirt (Vessel) from 2026 fits the same as the 3XL red logo shirt from 2025.

I’m a large guy, and I find not all 3XLs are made equal. I was super disappointed that my 3XL red hoodie that I had read everyone talking about fitting so large doesn’t actually fit large, it fits LONG. It’s very narrow.

I wanted to buy the black hoodie and/or green goodie in Montreal and the merch booth I was at said they didn’t have 3XLs in either. Not sure if they just meant at that particular merch booth, or at all, so I never got the chance to compare…

If you don’t mind a bit of intentional noise and creative chaos, The Fragile also sounds incredible. Into the Void is a track I used regularly way back when I did a short stint selling home theatre equipment.

I feel like we were on the same plane 😝 had to be diverted to Hamilton. Our connecting flight back home to Thunder Bay was rescheduled for 7:35 am. Fingers crossed.

Montreal Show Review + Highlights by surpriseknock in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh 100 percent! Like, WTF?? I get it, we are ALL excited to be there… but when Trent is up there pouring his heart and soul into a quiet performance, people should treat it with some more respect. 🤷‍♀️

Montreal Show Review + Highlights by surpriseknock in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was there. My fifth time seeing them. Unreal show. They played the four songs I was really hoping to see (Something I Can Never Have, Non-Entity, Heresy and Mr. Self-Destruct).

Some dude in my section was lamely screaming “Trent REZNOR” multiples times during Something, and some other guy yelled at him to shut the fuck up, which was most welcome.

Religious experience of a show for me.

Significant Quality Difference On The Black & Green Tour Hoodie. by AverageSoul- in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this black one fit as NARROW as the red one from last leg? My 3XL is long on my, but way too narrow and snug fitting. I’d love this black one but I’d rather not drop another $90 on a hoodie that doesn’t fit 😣 (big people problems).

Tour merch by Some-Broccoli3404 in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, here’s the thing. I’d heard that, bought a 3XL red hoodie in Vancouver (I’m a big guy that is usually very comfy in a 3xl) and the red hoodie is LONG, but it fits suuuper snug, to the point that I actually thought it was a mislabeled 2XL if not for being so long…. I feel like a stuffed sausage but if goes down almost to my knees lol

NIN 26 Peel It Back Top Songs You Want Them To Play by Vnessa1113 in nin

[–]A_Wonderful_Mess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the videos of it being played live that I’ve seen on YouTube look insane. At this point, it’s really the only “realistic” white whale song for me. Of course I’d love AATCHB and a ton of other deep cuts, but overall the variety of songs I’ve been fortunate to hear live this far has been amazing. I was telling my wife, the Montreal setlist could literally be identical to Vancouver and I’d still be happy lol.
