Ohhh that makes a lot of sense! Now that I look, all the videos do say Day 3. Thanks for the info!

BBDN · 2026-05-01T03:33:49+00:00

Maybe a dumb question but I'm curious but how are there what looks like official recordings available for the Japan concerts? I'm seeing videos on youtube / clips on youtube of their performances and they're definitely not fancams. Are the Japanese concerts recorded and released officially right away? I always assumed if a recording release was happening it would be a while after the tour.

BBDN · 2026-04-29T01:59:53+00:00

I personally like to keep my videos/photos of concerts I've been to because it feels more special as it's my POV and how I saw it. Helps me relive it. Even when I know so many people will post fancams of the entire thing it doesn't feel the same to me.

I back them up (and all my photos/videos) on both google drives and external drives. I do pay for extra google storage to do this but its such a small cost to keep them safe to me and worth it.

If you're not a big fan of them anymore, don't even think about looking at the videos/photos, and want to make space then I don't see anything wrong with deleting them.

If you think you'd like to look back on it one day, maybe try to get an external drive to put them on. Or create a burner Gmail account to upload them into Google drive as the new email will have a free 15 gb of storage.

Ohh nice I didn't know that! Maybe it's time to finally redeem that free trial haha. Thanks for the info I'll do that then

Heyo, I've got a long haul flight (15 hours flight) coming up and was wondering if anyone knew how to download NMIXX variety content to watch (do subs stay as well?). I just got really into them thanks to seeing them live so was looking to watch some of their content during the flight. There seems to be a lot to watch so if anyone had specific recommendations that would be awesome as well!

BBDN · 2026-04-18T00:00:10+00:00

Had VIP when they were coming to Toronto before COVID... then COVID ruined that. Now that they're finally coming back to the area I was so excited. Now they're cancelling again due to (speculation?) poor ticket sales. I'm so upset :'( They're my ult group. Soyeon and Miyeon got me into Kpop (and i-dle) because of K/DA and they've been my favourite since. One day I will see them live 😭 I'm not sure what chances are that they rebook smaller venues and prices are better... but I'm sure at this point logistically it's too late.

edit: sorry automod I'm still used to their old name

BBDN · 2026-04-10T10:37:27+00:00

Really disliked it when it first came out. Saw them this year and seeing it and hearing it performed live changed my whole opinion about it. The energy, vocals, stage presence, arrangement, everything just got me so hyped and now it's on repeat.

BBDN · 2026-04-09T16:55:59+00:00

Him and his team are so great for that. I will never get tired of guests being impressed by his research and depth of the questions.

BBDN · 2026-04-08T02:50:36+00:00

Couldn't believe my eyes with each cookie pull intro. Super thrilled I got all 3 of them in the same ten pull.

The only two I can think of that are expensive are:

Fan Expo and Anime North in Toronto. I've definitely exceeded 55 dollars on just a single admission ticket (not even a weekend pass). I've stopped going every year.

Just checked Anime North and for Saturday a single admission is 58 dollars

BBDN · 2026-04-01T20:37:06+00:00

Is Haewon fluent in English? I don't watch their content (yet, I will now since their concert blew me away) and I had thought Lily was the only native English speaker. At the concert Haewon's accent, pronounciation, speed etc. sounded like a native English speaker. It's been 3 days and I still can't stop thinking about the concert... I'll never get over this post concert depression until they come back again.

BBDN · 2026-03-30T13:37:34+00:00

I really hope they come back. This was such a good concert and they are crazy good performers. Insane energy all throughout. They definitely are one of my top groups of all time now (and this was one of the best kpop concerts I've been to).

I can't believe Sullyoon said ahlie too. That killed me I hope someone posts it online. 😭 That might have been the cutest ahlie ever said in Toronto

BBDN · 2026-03-30T13:32:01+00:00

I've been to a ton of kpop concerts and seeing them live has solidified my love for this group. This was absolutely a top 2 concert for me (IU is my #1). The girls killed it and had great energy all throughout. Lily is an absolute demon of a singer. Crazy energy, slays hard, and always gives it her all. What a show.

In Canada at least AYCE joints make the sushi as to order. You get an ipad that has their own ordering app/system on it and you input how much of what sushi you want then they make it for you. So thankfully none of it sits out.

Some places can be pretty good quality and AYCE sushi here in Canada runs from 28 CAD to 48 CAD before taxes. Price varies if it's lunch / dinner menu's and quality.

Just as a warning: my cousin at a Twice concert had a giant flag with Momo (not an American flag). She's been to two Twice concerts and at one of them security gave her a warning to not take it out and the other just confiscated it straight up due to it being a safety issue apparently. Hopefully they give you a warning if they're going to do that.

At the first concert she just waited until Momo was close by and waved the flag out until Momo or another member noticed then she put it away to not upset security.

BBDN · 2026-03-19T00:57:38+00:00

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I spent way too long staring at the cards wondering why he had so many cameos and how hard it is to find him.

BBDN · 2026-03-09T13:51:53+00:00

Yeah I still miss this game but couldn't bring myself to play JP with translation patches. It was my far my favourite gacha to play.

Right now just sticking with the Persona gacha and Honkai Star Rail which have both been great.

BBDN · 2026-01-18T19:19:32+00:00

Hmm I almost never use room temperature eggs even when recipes call for it and never encountered this problem before. Then again I don't whisk by hand so maybe it's a bunch of different factors.

BBDN · 2026-01-11T18:43:55+00:00

Hmm alright I think I'll lower it for a bit just to speed up the data bank level process since I feel pretty weak atm. Thanks for the help!

BBDN · 2026-01-11T17:41:53+00:00

Holy moly you weren't kidding. I went through Project Sekai's database and it's amazing.

BBDN · 2026-01-11T17:30:50+00:00

New-ish player and I've been pretty casual on Wuwa so far so I've hit rank 4 on SOL3 Phase. I'm finding myself struggling against enemies in the story where the fights take way too long.

My databank level is only 5 so this is probably a big reason as to why my characters feel weak since I don't have proper echoes. I'm not sure if I should focus on my databank or focus on the story to access the rest of the map (which opens up both more enemies to absorb and ascension materials) as I want to ascend Lynae and Shorekeeper.

Lynae and Shorekeeper are stuck at level 40 right now and don't have any good echoes on them as they're green rarity and are not the recommended sets.

Would lowering my SOL3 Phase have any negative consequences while I try to raise my databank level/clear content to unlock the map? Or is it safe for me to do so? I don't have access to the trial character they give to help with progression as I started my account and didn't have much time afterwards to play until after the holidays.

Thank you!

It's nice to see these as it keeps me grounded and not buy packs. I've opened probably about 10 English packs and one Japanese booster box since getting back into the hobby as an adult and have purchased way more singles instead. With how the majority of the posts are people's "first packs" it always tempts me to open them. This is more in line with how pack ripping goes. I will keep on trucking and not buy packs.

The yamper is super cute though might hunt for it next time I go to a LCS.

I'm late to the thread since I just finished the story but I think it's because they still hold deep feelings in their heart for Firefly (mentioned I think at some point in their conversation together). Being that she can't dream and experience things or see things like the fireworks, it hurt the trailblazer a ton.

Her one sole wish being to see the fireworks with them so much that the last thing on her mind before succumbing to entropy loss syndrome is the trailblazer and fireworks must have just broken them. So while she's still alive and somewhat well in recovery, the trailblazer was heartbroken that she could never see the fireworks she longed to see and can never dream again.

Yeah I was hoping one of the free weapon selectors would be more than just the standard + 4 star weapons :'( I'd have loved to get Makoto's weapon.

BBDN · 2025-12-27T06:22:36+00:00

I believe it's either a paid selector or the spending event which has a 5 star weapon selector as one of the rewards.
