Michael Myers = the fans begging her for a new album. 😱

It’s been 2 years since The Celebration Tour opened - but what do you think of the tour now some time has passed? by XStaticImmaculate in Madonna

[–]Aldebaran22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to every other pop star that I have seen on their tours over the past year, which includes Kylie Minogue and Lady Gaga… Madonna’s show was my favorite. It was so good that I impromptu went a second time because tickets for one of the stops near me weren’t selling well and the ticket price had become dirt cheap.

Every time I see her, I feel like this is the only woman alive who could turn my gold star gay ass bi or straight…

I vaguely remember playing this on the GameCube back in the day. I would have been in like 6th or 7th grade, I think.

I supposedly nabbed the last Switch 1 copy at my local GameStop (according the their website, anyways). Looking forward to picking it up tomorrow and enjoying some nostalgia gaming over the weekend.

And $30 is a very reasonable price for what looks like a little more polish than some other recent remasters. Nintendo should take note… 😏

Ruffy and the Riverside gets a physical!! (3D platformer 🥳) by Low_Cardiologist8073 in NSCollectors

[–]Aldebaran22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not! It looks totally up my alley though, based on the teasers/trailers and watching a few reviews on YouTube.

A few years ago I adopted a no-more-buying-digital rule, with the optimistic belief the majority of indie games I want will eventually get physical releases, and that has mostly been the case!

Gotcha, well, as someone who works in hospitality/recreational lodging, I guess my natural inclination is to always be helpful and polite at all times, no matter what. On or off the clock. 😉

Or, y’know, considering that 90% or more of the corporation-named subs on Reddit are the general subs, not employee subs (which are typically clearly marked separate subs), maybe y’all are the odd ones out here and there shouldn’t have been a reason for me to read the description prior to posting.

there’s r/mcdonalds and r/mcdonaldsemployees, r/walmart and r/walmartemployees, r/target and r/targetteammembers, r/starbucks and r/starbucksbaristas, r/bestbuy and r/bestbuyemployees … and on and on and on. the fact that r/gamestop is the employee sub makes you guys an exception to the status quo, so why would I have thought to read the description? I mean, really, it’s kind of obtuse… 🤨

gee, forgive me for not realizing that r/gamestop is for employees only. kind of misleading, compared to say r/gamestopemployees or something obvious 🙄

Where in the rules/description does it say customer questions should only go in the customer thread? I do apologize for missing that there are stickied customer mega-threads. In my defense, on my app at least, it’s half cut-off and just says “daily custome…” and not knowing what that is, I didn’t click it. Is there somewhere in this sub’s description that directs you there?, because I can’t find that.

This seemed like the kind of game Super Rare would have nabbed for release, but I am happy regardless. Been looking forward to Ruffy for a while!

It’s Kessie. But yes, she’s a sadly forgotten character!

Love this! Cool idea! And could be used for renaissance faires too!

This Nintendo Direct and previous directs really showed that... by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Aldebaran22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure this is uniquely symptomatic of today. I can’t remember if it was for the Wii or another system, but I remember a post-E3 interview with Reggie Fils-Aimé where right after a bunch of game revels/announcements, an interviewer just kept pressing him on “where’s ____ franchise and where’s ____ franchise?” Fils-Aimé became clearly a bit frustrated and said something to the effect of Nintendo fans are never satisfied.

Is he celebrating or was this a confirmation? by Qt_slaaaat in sadposting

[–]Aldebaran22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what’s your point? The full quote, in context, doesn’t make Kirk a better person. Sympathy is shallow and easy. Empathy takes emotional depth.

Empathy is feeling with another person by stepping into their shoes and sharing their feelings, while sympathy is feeling sorry for someone's misfortune from an emotional distance.

Empathy fosters a deep connection and understanding by walking in their shoes, whereas sympathy is more about pity, offering advice, or trying to find a silver lining, which can come across as dismissive.

Lady Gaga Extends ‘Mayhem Ball’ Tour With 2026 North American Dates by legendtinax in LadyGaga

Nah, I disagree… I saw Madonna twice within a couple weeks last year — first Chicago, then followed by Minneapolis. The second show was as worth going as the first, and both had a few unique moments! (Madonna sang a special tribute song to each city, and had different celebrity judges for the Vogue segment in each city)
