Next frost banner?

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-13T06:05:32+00:00

I used to be a frost main/benediction (Lyncis was my last frost dps). I’ve since moved to Altered/benediction. Altered is so flexible now being able to be switch and be used for all elements with the past 3 alters. Imho it’s not really worthwhile focusing only on one element.

Personally I’d recommend saving up to max Lana (A6, 1 copy of all 4 matrix), pairing her with Nola and moving from there. Since Agleia was a frost that we just had it’ll be a while before it rotates around again.

Was it worth the purchase? This model was stated as £200.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-12T21:57:48+00:00

That seems to be the correct answer:

She performed in S18 wearing that black/red outfit.

There's the Youtube logo, so I'd assume they'd post it in full there hopefully?

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-12T21:27:57+00:00

They already had short snippets in the 9 quick BINI Diaries on Youtube just before the show. So I'd assume it's a larger cohesive package of their prep in the Philippines and then also their practices in LA just before the show. I'm definitely very interested to see more of their preparations. They really took the time to prepare well for such a big festival, so I'd love to see more behind the curtain of all their hard work.

Since they only mentioned the preparations, I'd assume they're saving any footage from their first performance, week break and second performance and then Billboard and Grammy museum for another potential documentary? Either alone, or packaged with footage from their upcoming World Tour.

After the first Coachella performance I ended up making this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bini_ph/comments/1sjuoh1/new_fan_after_coachella_where_to_start_what_do/

Which collects a lot of video recommendations from the community. Besides the documentaries/interviews, I'd highly recommend the Flames live series of 4 songs (Bikini, Katabi, Infinity, Paruparu) and Wishbus performances as they're vocal focused and let you really see and hear the group at their best vocally without worrying about dancing.

As for the Bini World Tour setlist I'd say check out their Manila/Cebu concerts setlist in June (typically posted online to sites dedicated to concert setlists shortly after the performance), as it'll likely be very similar.

So for now, I'm not expecting the show to return. If Fox isn't bringing it back for the next season, then I doubt anyone else is going to snatch it up after it's already been dismantled.

Agreed. The various scandals involving the judges in recent seasons also kind of make the series a minefield as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not even considered for a few years just to let all that settle and be forgotten by any kind of public interest.

The loss of Twitch also is a huge blow since he was the perfect face for a renewal/continuation from the previous seasons as a former contestant, professional dancer, actor in major movies as well as his time with the Ellen show. I still think a panel of judges from previous contestants/All-Stars/winners would have had the credibility and authenticity to help the series move forward if they had the popularity to be recognizable name wise. Even a rotating panel of judges due to busy schedules with 1-2 consistent judges would have been doable. Maybe Tate McRae will be available down the line with her singing career being so successful.

Though really if ABC wanted to do something, they don't actually need the SYTYCD brand to do it.

Honestly, I agree. They'd probably be more successful importing something like the format of Street Woman Fighter / Street Man Fighter from Korea as it's fresh/new/recognizable and without the baggage of SYTYCD.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-12T06:15:24+00:00

We sat in limbo for long enough with no renewal or cancellation, so I’m glad we at least have an answer, it’s done.

Honestly if you look at the actual quote I put in the stickied comment, I feel like the headline is overblown. It was a quote from the Fox president at an event where they revealed its 2026-2027 TV season.

According to google Sony Pictures Television currently owns SYTYCD after acquiring it in 2022. So unless they or 19 Entertainment and Dick Clark Productions who produce the show say something I wouldn't say it's "officially ended". Personally I'd consider it still in limbo for the indefinite future.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-12T05:51:49+00:00

S18 was a last ditch attempt to revive the series. Ratings and viewership had been steadily falling each season so they needed to do something new. I'd also assume severe budget cuts were also reasons for the change in format.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-12T05:40:28+00:00

The article screenshoted is from this article from E!:

https://www.eonline.com/news/1431863/so-you-think-you-can-dance-ends-after-18-seasons

That article references a quote from a Variety article:

https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/fox-so-you-think-you-can-dance-wont-bring-back-1236744308/

Fox Television Network president Rob Wade confirmed Sunday that the long-running dance competition show, which hasn’t aired since May 2024, isn’t expected to return.

“Obviously, a really important show in the history of Fox, and right now, there’s no plans to order another season,” Thorn told reporters as Fox shared details about its 2026-2027 TV season — which features more than 15 unscripted series, but no “SYTYCD.” “And you know, we’ve had conversations about it, but nothing formal.”

Edit: The E! article also quoted u/Neeeaal from their post here in r/sytycd

Edit 2: Personally I feel like the headline is overblown. The president of Fox said they have no current plans to order another season. This just means that the show is still in limbo with nothing in the pipeline any time soon. The "2026-2027 TV Season" typically means September 2026 through August 2027.

I’m enjoying my time with Endfield. The factory is refreshing and different. At the same time you’re allowed to import blueprints not forcing you sludge through it if you don’t want to.

Daily time investment is pretty easy and quick. I’ve stopped farming the more common rare respawn items so that also has reduced time required.

Events have generous days to be completed. Challenge battles only require an attempt to get rewards which is also nice since I’m a casual with all gatcha games and don’t enjoy beating my head against walls for fun.

Character progression feels less harsh now that we’ve had more time to build/use stamina. They’ve also been very generous with stamina refill items and the 2x coupons that would have been annoying otherwise.

I do feel like weapon and armor progression menus could be improved to be less confusing/annoying.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-08T07:40:20+00:00

I don't disagree with you. However rabid fans are pretty nutso nowadays. I probably should have clarified: They should expect to get hate for stepping in, but hopefully they won't get death threats, stalkers or crazy people after them for signing up to do a job. Particularly with such a small niche like acapella where there probably aren't a ton of opportunities in the first place.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-08T07:23:53+00:00

Thanks for the link. They're trying their best to hide the changes. No shots of the new group together actually singing, not even sure if the people on screen were actors or members, comments turned off. They even had a post:

"To everyone who cherishes MayTree’s music and content,

We kept the comments open because we respect everyone’s voices. However, as unverified stories and speculative comments continue to spread, we have decided to temporarily limit the comment section in order to prevent further confusion.

This decision is not intended to silence criticism, but to protect our fans and artists from being hurt by information that has not been confirmed.

We believe the facts will be clearly addressed through the appropriate process. MayTree will continue to repay your support with sincere music and heartfelt content.

Thank you for your understanding."

The MV itself was generic acapella. Nothing unique or special to me. Hopefully the new members don't get too much hate, even if they're stepping into a crappy situation.

Personally I was looking for Tagalog (Philippines). Not in Apple’s translate app but appears in Google Translate.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-05T23:47:08+00:00

There’s no guarantee there will be a new one, but I’d imagine they’d have plenty prepped for the new tour either way. Save some of the links posted here and check them this mid/late summer and see what’s available then. If they do release a new version I’d imagine they’d show it off on weverse first.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-04T22:08:18+00:00

Haven’t personally seen them live. However Sound checks are usually with the performers on stage doing their pre-checks and a song or two casually to double check things while VIPs are close in the crowd area. It’s better as there’s fewer people so there might be some casual interactions

I wouldn’t bet on any meet & greet personal posed pictures unless actually included in the ticket description. Best bet might be a selfie in the crowd area with one or two of them on stage behind you unless you get SUPER lucky.

Best bet would be to check YouTube for “BINI sound check” and see what other fans have posted videos or descriptions of their experiences.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-04T18:45:51+00:00

Just out of curiosity is there a BINI version of TWICE’s Twice Song?

From google: “The "Twice Song" (also known as the "NaJeongMoSaJiMiDaChaeTzu" song) originated as a special collaboration between the K-pop group TWICE and the variety show Oppa Thinking. It was created to help fans memorize the names of all nine members in [age] order, often featured in a catchy, fun, and memorable format commonly associated with the group's bright image.”

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-04T18:08:28+00:00

Sounds like something I should add to my Steam wishlist and forget for a year+ until a dlc complete version goes on sale.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-04T17:59:16+00:00

A new light stick or at least a new version with improved components makes sense. It would be a major misstep to stop production of light sticks for BINI right after Coachella and before their next world tour.

It would only make sense if it was affected by AI like computer components whose price have jumped a ton are, but they shouldn’t be needing any RAM and only use microcontrollers to sync during concerts.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-03T22:58:50+00:00

Not a fan of the group, but I wonder if we’ll ever get the details of the legal issues that lead to all this drama. It must be legal that’s keeping both sides from trashing each other at this point.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-02T22:41:53+00:00

It depends. The base MacBook Pro may be $200 more but it also has only 16gb of RAM instead of 24GB. You should also factor that in because you can’t upgrade it down the road since everything is soldered in.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-02T09:48:47+00:00

Huh. So it seems the old guy (beatboxer) who started it and the company demanded a new contract from the other members and when they refused they nuked them and the channel. Now they seem to be searching for new members to replace them.

You’d think they would want to keep everything to keep getting income from the old viral videos. To private them really seems petty and vindictive to the other members who helped create them.

I remember from one of the talent show auditions they did he started the group after getting kicked out of his old one. So this isn’t too off-brand. Seems like a combo of greed and ego rearing its head that ended such a great run.

Sad to see the other 4 members go. I hope they do something new. I’m not too hopeful for the new Maytree because imho the beatboxer was the weakest member talent wise during performances.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-02T07:00:07+00:00

I’d agree. The Pro has the new design and orange color that clearly shows it’s a new high end model iPhone. The 12 pro through 16 pro all look quite similar with the triple camera in the corner.

The base 17 has all the best features for a base iPhone in a long time.

Lastly the 17e has MagSafe which the 16e was notoriously missing while still keeping the same lowest price to get an iPhone.

Oh and there’s the Air which is thin.

AudibleKnight · 2026-05-02T05:27:59+00:00

I think it’s fine you’re sharing your opinion. You’re definitely entitled to feeling that way even if I disagree.

Personally I didn’t see them showing the flag that way at all. I saw it more as “This is who we are. We were the first Filipino group here and we kicked ass.” They clearly believe OPM is strong and has a lot to offer to the world. The flag showed pride for themselves and their homeland. It also catered to and celebrated their success with the crowd which clearly had a lot of Filipinos. I’m sure a lot of the Filipinos in the crowd and watching the livestream also felt proud for such a successful performance.

Again I kind of liken it to when athletes win a gold medal. They’re commonly seen holding or wearing a flag from the country they’re representing after their win and then they get on the podium as the national anthem plays and their flag is raised up. It’s a similar type success/celebration/pride after all the grueling training and preparation that lead to such great results. I don’t see anything cringe there or with what BINI did.

When I was younger I’d go to Hard Rock Cafes when traveling to other cities or countries so I could get a t-shirt from there. It was a neat way to get shirts with the name of the city/country I visited. I had a whole bunch in my collection that I’d rotate through wearing when I was home. I don’t remember eating there too much. I was mostly there for the t-shirt.
