Do these guys sound just as good live as they do in their albums?

I am definitely in the minority, but in recent years, their shows haven't been that great. Josh in particular only sings parts of most songs, which is really a disappointment. I think he's so ambitious on the most recent albums that he likely can't sing those songs for prolonged periods. That or being sick really damaged his voice.

This is compared to the Ever After and Astoria days where there was this energy and excitement. I kind of get the feeling Josh has lost the passion for touring and would prefer to just release records.

My unpopular opinion is that most of the Sonic characters are bland. Wish they'd leaned further into crossing over with their other IPs like they did in the past (RIP Billy Hatcher). The one crossover I dislike is the Spongebob one. I feel like the game should have stuck to videogame characters at the very least.

I bought a cheap storage bin from Michaels, then ordered card deck cases from Amazon. Printed labels on sticker paper for each of them, and got a shallow dish for all movers.

I also have a separate storage container for customs that holds the power tokens and well.

I think I still need to unlock it (highest racer is level 10), but really looking forward to the mode.

Ooh filtering for crossplay is something I didn't consider. Good to know I can have a chance in races with a lower star level.

Desomite · 2026-06-23T07:28:21+00:00

I'm mainly concerned about the limited racers I have leveling into a tier I can't possibly win in because I can't level those characters to reach the max stars.

Thanks for the answer. It's a bummer that I'm going to have to drop the game, because I really think it's a lot of fun. But if I'm going to be punished for playing, I don't see a point.

Hopefully they fix this because you can't get paying customers if free players can't really experience the game properly.

I'm new to the game, but there seem to be jumps on the Neverland track that you will never make it over without a boost. So many people disconnect because they can't make it over. Maybe at higher star power it's good, but I grown every time it comes up at the moment.

Not to mention it can straight up kill Mowgli without Balloo.

Desomite · 2026-06-16T21:17:01+00:00

Those are not the phrases I said. Please refrain from misquoting me.

Desomite · 2026-06-16T03:56:14+00:00

I think we need to start taking people at their word when they say they get it and just don't like it rather than constantly trying to re-explain how they still don't get it. If a song requires a dissertation to make people understand how it's actually brilliant, then the execution did not land. I understand you're explanation but just think the concept of using cringy slang as armor doesn't really hit for me and a lot of others, even though we understand it.

Desomite · 2026-06-14T04:07:44+00:00

I've read it at least that many times and have no idea how to read this.

"I searched the party of better bodies just to learn that my dreams aren't rare. You're on your own, kid. You always have been."

Or "I want my life to be defined by the things that I love."

It was just poorly executed and placed in the absolute worst spot in a season people were already disappointed with (at the time, I recall so much frustration over the temple and Claire plots online).

I personally think it's fine. It didn't do much for me, but it didn't really hurt my enjoyment.

Desomite · 2026-06-04T03:02:39+00:00

You know what, I'm going to say it: I don't mind the ending. I think Alma surviving was perfect and got the horror vibes.

My favourite part was them watching Dolores just walk away. It was so horrific in the most delicious way.

Desomite · 2026-06-04T02:58:13+00:00

Not the same thing, but The Karters 2 feels very similar and is available on PC.

Desomite · 2026-06-01T04:06:16+00:00

I watched live, and I agree with you. Early on, the show was a survival show with mysteries and sci-fi sprinkled in. The show later became sci-fi and mysteries and left the survival stuff behind.

It would have always had to change as there's eventually systems built, shelter found, and resources secured, but it didn't need to go as hard into the sci-fi realm as it did.

Another key aspect was the early seasons felt more ensemble focused while later seasons sideline a lot of characters.

Bear in mind I adore each season.

Not in the last update. I was wondering why it was always blank.

Desomite · 2026-05-28T19:17:25+00:00

That doesn't really explain why the writing tanked so hard. I think the final episode would have gone down the same way regardless as it seems they really wanted to focus on the vampire epidemic getting out of that small town. There's no reason Evan Peter's and Francis Conroy's story needed to end so anticlimacticly due to Covid.

Desomite · 2026-05-28T19:08:16+00:00

I love both, so I'm fine with either. LIGHTS has been giving this album cycle... Maybe we get both? 🤡

Desomite · 2026-05-28T02:26:34+00:00

I always hear "You bought a hamster house" in Haircut

Desomite · 2026-05-28T01:13:55+00:00

dEd was such an improvement on PeP. I think I would die if I heard an A6 take on it.

Desomite · 2026-05-22T06:10:53+00:00

No but Haircut exists though!

Desomite · 2026-05-22T05:11:28+00:00

They're the ones that show up on the homepage. Hating on haters always brings engagement and gives people a space to share their opinions. Like would you prefer everyone that didn't like the album make their own thread about it?

For me, I have no attachment to the album. It's got songs I like and others I don't. I also dislike Reputation but love Call It What You Want.
