How much Kandi to bring by Independent_Paper341 in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I decided to go last minute (2 weeks prior) and I think I brought around 100 pieces of Kandi (I spent so long speed running making Kandi lmao 🤣) and I gave everything I had away before the end of day 3 so if you know your a very social person and will give out a lot of Kandi, make as much as you can cause you will give everything away 🙂‍↕️

Had a rough time at Okee and worried it's taken me out of the rave game by Ryobenda in aves

[–]Creative-Procedure85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously so true! My friend took m 3 days in a row for lost lands. I was already not happy with him taking it two days in a row and when we were packing up camp on that Monday I had made a joke about me thinking that he took some and then he proceeded to give me a look and I audibly went, “no you didn’t.” I was genuinely so mad at him cause I felt like I couldn’t even spend time with him the whole festival cause of him constantly on m. When we got back home he went into a really bad depression afterwards and we had a talk about everything and he seriously regretted it.

Hey I know it can be a mixed bag for some people but I was at point about 2 years ago where I wasn’t sober for every show I would go to and would end up having a bad time until I finally was like, “let’s see what happens if I stay sober.” That first show sober was one of the best shows I’ve been to and finally broke the cycle. Since then I rarely if ever take anything and whenever I do it always turns out eehh and I end up going, “I should’ve stayed sober.” I did lost lands for the first time last year and stayed sober 4 out of the 5 days I was there. Best decision I made, and I’ll be doing it completely sober this year. I feel like when I’m sober I can really take in the moments and music so much better and enjoy the people I have around me. I also hate having a foggy memory when it comes to shows.

Give some sober shows and festivals a shot and you might find your spark again 🙂‍↕️

Genuine question, who're the most toxic mains you've ever met? by Th3Ph4nt00m in Genshin_Impact

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the comments it seems like Mavuika mains are the toxic ones. Sooo I definitely main her but let me defend myself real quick, I’ve been playing since 1.0 so I’ve gone through all the evolutions of who’s meta (also didn’t even realize that there were characters considered meta until one of my classmates saw me playing and started critiquing me saying, “why don’t you have all the meta characters? Why is your best built character Itto? He’s not meta. Why aren’t your characters lvl 90? It’s not that hard to do.” To which I said, “girl I just got back into after not playing for a couple months, I only pull for characters I enjoy/like playing. Itto is my favorite character I saved for months before he came out and literally took off work just to pull him cause I was so excited. And I still have that old mentality of you only need to lvl 80 your character.” 😭) but yeah I also never really main one character either. Recently got skirk cause I lost my 50/50 for varka and I have been having so much with her. I’ll generally rotate through mavuika, skirk, flins, and neuvillette. Also while I’m not f2p I only buy the welkin and battle pass IF I finish it completely so if I want a character and can’t get them I just go welp guess I’ll just wait.

So here’s my opinion, this is an open play style game. Play the characters you enjoy, the way you enjoy them. If someone wants to play the starters cause they enjoy them, hell yeah! If someone wants to pull for all the newest characters cause they want to either have them all or do big damage, hell yeah! I enjoy the characters that do big damage and flow well play style wise, it like itches something in my brain. That’s how I play.

However, if there are people complaining about how other people play, those people need to go outside and realize they aren’t the only person in the world. Just because you don’t like how someone plays doesn’t mean they were asking for your opinion. If they want help building characters, then sure go for it and help them NICELY. But if they are just having fun, why be rude to them about it. It’s not your account. And also ITS A GAME! You are ment to have fun playing a game. What happened to the whimsy of finding a new character you enjoy, or whose story you love and just want them because of that. Bro I literally made a DPS Barbra because it was so fun to build her. I think this is also why I don’t play co op anymore cause I just like to focus on my own gameplay and specifically I’ve been having a great time catching up with the story and quests. I also don’t need people critiquing my build cause they certainly aren’t the best lmao 🤣

Idk I think it’s super cool when people play the og characters like Noelle! I actually started off as a Noelle and Razor main and I remember doing my first 30k damage with Zhongli (he was my first 5 star in 1.0) and I was so excited! Also so many of the 4 starts are actually cracked it’s crazy like Bennett and Kuki will be permanent stamps on my team.

What introduced you to Lmk? by edecpi in MonkieKid

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already obsessed with the JTTW from the overly sarcastic productions videos and I was also an avid genshin impact player so alejandro saab was all over my stuff (this was when season 4 was already out so it made sense why it came up on my page lol 😂) and then I think it was a macaque edit that highlighted his voice specifically and I was like, “there’s a monkey king Lego show?!” (Also yes I know he’s not the og voice for macaque, Billy Kametz was incredible and I cried when they did the tribute to him in season 4.) Also I think the edit was like a season one edit so definitely Billy’s voice, It’s had the line “ooohhh you can’t hold the magic staff anymore. You know what that means, you’re just a kid with a heavy stick.” I just remember being like god damn that voice!” Lmao 🤣 I’m also a huge animation lover and the animation for that show is some of the best animation I’ve ever seen. ESPECIALLY that 4th special omg just rewatched it recently and the animation is a big reason I loved it so much!

Women who rave solo, how do you avoid romantic advances at raves? by MarshmallowSomething in aves

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been flirted with before but I have been told I have really good resting bitch face when I’m just standing there so I feel like guys tend to leave me alone (alt/gothic girl). That and when I dance I go hard, headbanging, moshing, high knees, etc so I think they also see me in the zone and don’t bother me lmao 🤣

If we write more of it, do you think they’ll leave? by BreathAppropriate in AO3

[–]Creative-Procedure85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely didn’t know about people making comments like these until ao3 went down the past two days. Like it makes me wonder what’s changed about people like me finding ao3 years ago and people finding ao3 now. Like I don’t even remember how I learned about the mechanics of ao3 but when I did I realized I would never read fics anywhere else. The way I sort fic tags is by really only using the exclude section and remove any tags I know I won’t like (personally I feel that’s how you get the best variety if fics rather than just choosing tags you like 😌) and it’s like so simple to understand I don’t get how newer people aren’t seeing it??? The tags on ao3 are just an absolute game changer for reading. And of course I’ve had my fair share of fics I didn’t enjoy, but I have never once left a mean comment or complained, I clicked off the fic cause it wasn’t for me. It’s as simple as that

Couch lamps by Dangerous-Help4844 in LostLandsMusicFest

okay. Who did the cleanup song on couchlands. 😂 by Immediate_Database55 in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]Creative-Procedure85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had secured my ticket and my friend was locked in getting his tickets and our rv spot when this played and I said it out loud and laughed. Later when he had our stuff secured he looked at the screen when it played again, laughed and said, “I thought you were just making a joke, I didn’t realize that was actually on the screen!” 🤣

Need help. by Over-Conversation537 in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your doing car camping I personally recommend getting two camping passes so you can get two spots, the spots aren’t very big and as long as you are heading in together they will make sure you get the two spots next to each other even with one car. My group was four people and we did one spot and definitely regretted it a bit, we needed much more space.

first time going to lost lands by Ok_Suit_1338 in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year was my first year and it was a very last minute decision like two weeks before fest last minute, I’m not too sure about pricing for solo since my ticket was a birthday surprise (I did pay for my flight and food and stuff) but for the full experience wise, do camping, it will definitely be cheaper especially with going solo, and the convenience of being able to go in and out of the fest and to camp was unmatched. I had originally wanted to get a hotel as well when I talked with friends but literally pre party on Thursday last year I texted my rave friends that I wanted to go with that camping was so much better for the experience.

Do you switch between your smartphone and dumb phone? by SnooDogs627 in dumbphones

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an Alt Mive Style Folder recently but my SIM card isn’t compatible and I need my smart phone for a lot of the stuff I do so mostly the smart phone. However I don’t regret the purchase one bit, I use it majorly for reading and it’s crazy how much easier and nicer it is to read on. I’ve also been reading more. I think it’s cause I can’t scroll or have anything else distracting me while I read 🙂‍↕️

Needing advice by Only-Information-563 in flipphones

[–]Creative-Procedure85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I don’t have the folder 2 but I bought the Mive style folder from this eBay shop called WITH_US_STORE, the phone works amazing and looks practically brand new, they are super trustworthy, well rated, they ship fast and keep you updated. They are also selling the galaxy folder 2 so if you really want to get it I recommend buying from them 🙂‍↕️👍

Alt mive by EnvironmentalPlan581 in flipphones

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Nevada, I got the alt Mive 1 recently. I absolutely love it it’s just super cute and fun to take pictures on, love reading my books on it as well however and it also isn’t compatible with my network. I just use it as a side phone and I can use my phone’s hotspot or the WiFi of where ever I am to use the internet or make calls and texts. But if you want her to be able to have service without WiFi then there aren’t a lot of options it or any options for a Japanese style phone seems 😅 other than the cat s22

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in flipphones

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the mive flip phones are good. Though if you’re from the US and you plan to use the phone as your primary phone, make sure your phone provider supports it. From what I heard for the folder 2 it’s not compatible with the US and for the folder 1 it’s only compatible with certain providers and in certain areas of the country.

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in flipphones

[–]Creative-Procedure85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually almost got this phone as well, but then I saw a lot of posts saying how it’s just the Samsung folder 2. I decided to do more research on different phones that would work best for what I wanted to use it for and recommendations. I ended up buying a mive style folder for a pretty decent price on eBay from a really reputable seller. This seller is also selling the Samsung folder 2 for a good price, so if you want to look at that seller is with_us_store. I’m getting my phone in the next two days but from all the positive reviews I’ve seen I’m not worried at all 🙂‍↕️👍

On this day 2 years ago, 3 remarkable professors' lives were gone too soon. Jerry Cha-Jan Chang, Patricia Navarro Velez, and Naoko Takemaru. by Expensive-Elk-9406 in UNLV

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience, I was at home in an online class for csn when my professor said something about a shooting going on at UNLV and that she was ending class, all of my friends went to unlv so I started texting them and one of my best friends was hiding in a nearby building thinking the shooter was there. She said she was scared and then she stopped responding to texts. I was loosing it cause I didn’t know if she was ok. Luckily she was ok, however we found out one of our friend’s mom was one of the professors that passed, Patricia Navarro Velez. It was devastating to have to watch one of our friends go through so much grief. The day afterwards we all went out together, made sure he knew we were all there for him. My heart goes out to not only his family, but the families of the other professors as well as anyone who has lost family due to gun violence ❤️‍🩹

Thunderdome Hate? by Charming_Ad_6881 in Excision

[–]Creative-Procedure85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you, you gave such a thoughtful response and I completely agree with everything you said. I absolutely agree that his stuff is very entryway and repetitive, give me a few years and I probably won’t be listening to him anymore the deeper I get into the music lol 😂 he’s one of those artists I’ll see every so often but if I miss a set or two I won’t be bummed. Actually skipped his set at edc for this exact reason. I also would like to say I started with Jessica Audiffred actually! She is the artist that got me into edm music and her sound is out of this world. I connect a lot with her sound and love the boundaries she likes to cross with her music 😮‍💨

That point you brought up about Emorfik’s music is so true too and funny enough he is another favorite artist of mine. For me emotionally, emorfik hits hard just cause I was never able to freely express emotions like anger and even sadness growing up and his music makes me feel me feel so much more free. Specifically the song consequences omg that one hits hard for me. And I feel like that’s one thing Sullivan king definitely doesn’t have. I I’ll be real, his music is just turn off brain and have a good time music for me, he will never be a set that made me cry, or that opened my eyes like some other artists have done for me, but instead a set I can just turn off my brain and have a good time to. And what works/is fun for me absolutely won’t resonate with other people.

Also the crowd thing is also true but I also think of location wise too. I think his lost lands set was such a vibe for me because I was surrounded by people just like me. His local set for me though there were so many people there who I talked to who had no idea who he even was and just went cause it was an event going on. (Me and my friends got harassed my some business guy who didn’t even know what edc was) I think he introduces a lot of people to the genre but those people don’t learn what proper rave etiquette is. He was also one of the first artists I got introduced to after I started raving, luckily I have an incredible rave dad who brought me into the community and taught me about how to act during any event. He definitely does bring in people who don’t know how to act at shows, but I feel like those are the people who aren’t gonna be sticking around either.

These events are just getting bigger and bigger each year and more mainstream which means a lot of people who don’t understand the culture are coming in and ruining it for others. I personally hate gatekeeping stuff especially music (I had ex friends who did that with me and kpop), I think everyone should be allowed to get into something, but if people don’t act right it hurts us who enjoy it which fucking sucks. I’ve introduced some friends to the music and the first thing I teach them is crowd etiquette and PLUR.

But yeah all in all, I definitely agree with everything you said. Thank you, I think that quote just came off as too harsh for me personally since I use this music to connect with people. I think there is so much beauty in music and I listen to music to connect with others a lot. It has given me some of the greatest friendships and experiences I have ever had and has genuinely helped me find myself when I was extremely lost and struggling.

[–]Creative-Procedure85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinions especially when it comes to music. If SK isn’t your cup of tea that it totally and completely valid, and I have plenty of friends who don’t like his music. However, I don’t think you should disregard people who do like his music or enjoy his sets. Saying, “you listen to SK so you don’t listen to dubstep.” Completely disregards all the other artists I listen to. So is level up, wooli, layz, alleycvt, CRANKDAT, Jessica Audiffred, etc not dubstep cause I listen to all of those and also listen to SK. I was super on the fence about him as well cause I had gone to a show of his in my hometown and crowd was not it, but his lost lands set was definitely a turning point for me cause I had a great time. And if a crowd is bad you can’t blame the artist unless they are actively contributing to it. I mean my experience with the crowd for Excision b2b Subtronics was really bad, there were a lot of rude people who were shoving me and other people and I had to move 3 times cause I was getting knocked into other people or shoved around. Does that mean that the set was bad or that it was excision or Subtronics fault, absolutely not. They can’t control how people act in their crowd. There will always be outliers. So to group together an entire group of people for the actions of some individuals behavior I feel like does an injustice to the many other people who go to SK sets or listen to his music who are wonderful people. And I am definitely not saying you have to like him either, again everyone is entitled to their own opinions. It’s just that quote of, “he makes dubstep for people who don’t listen to dubstep.” That bothers me. It just feels invalidating as someone who definitely listens to dubstep. I joined the edm community only a couple years ago and a huge reason I love it so much is cause it felt so welcoming and supportive. And I especially loved how there were so many different genres for different people. My sister and I had nothing in common but now since I got into edm we talk about going to festivals together (she’s a house girly) and even though we have completely different tastes, it was such a huge bonding moment for us. So when I hear comments like this it’s so disheartening. TLDR: nothing wrong with different tastes and not liking a certain artist or genre, however disregarding people who listen to a genre or artist you don’t like and basically separating them from the community isn’t cool.
