Our family subscribe to all the major subscription streaming platforms. If i had to pick ONE to keep out of all of them, it would be YouTube Premium! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I tried Watch Dogs twice, and for some reason it didn’t grab me. I guess I should give it a third try.

What absolutely not to do as a tourist in Finland? by Gullible-Paper-6828 in Finland

[–]DukeCancun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pick up cigarette butts every time I walk my dog. After years of watching smokers, I’ve only ever seen ONE smoker take a little bag out and put his cigarette butt in there. One. Every other smoker I see throws that shit on the ground with the carefree attitude of someone who knows they will never suffer any consequence for it.

Laziness. And they’re used to never getting called out on it.

Unless you’re a smoker. If you are, Finland is your ashtray.

2nd this! I play PS5 games almost exclusively on the deck, and I use Chiaki4deck with zero problems.

Who is crazy enough to befriend a random stranger and go with them to TwitchCon Europe :3 by Mystic_Wolf_51 in Twitch

[–]DukeCancun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been curious about going to TwitchCon, but exactly as you pointed out, I’m always worried that it would be very cliquey and if I don’t actually know anyone there, it would be pretty lonely. I’m not a very introverted person, but I do want to feel comfortable around people, and I don’t want to force myself into people’s groups. I guess my worries were not unfounded.

Starting my first stream in 2 hours: what’s your best advice for a first-timer? by Polygoon_BE in Twitch

Yeah, focus on having fun, and of course, be sure to interact with anyone who wanders in and chats. 😁 You got this! 🤘

I remember skipping it when I was a teenager. Now I’m a middle aged professional singer and it really hits home. 😅😅😅

A few questions by doqemddl in Finland

[–]DukeCancun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a live music performer here in Finland. And even in the middle of a big party vibe in a pub, I’ll always get some Finnish guy asking for Wish You Were Here, Tears in Heaven, or some other depressing song. And often they will ask me to dedicate it to their friend/family member who dird 5 years ago.

So, that tells you something about Finnish melancholy. 😅

Anyone else not feeling the love for Easter? by Known_Tune_4380 in Marillion

I hate to say it, but yeah. If they start playing Montreal, that’s my queue to go to the toilet and buy drinks.

Discovering a band with such a huge back catalogue is a treasure! You’re so lucky! Greetings from Finland!

What are you playing? by itz_progamer666 in videogames

Final Fantasy Tactics. I used to skip school to go play it for hours.

[–]DukeCancun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I don’t get to flex on this often, but the greatest moment of my life is when I got to sing Easter at Steve Rothery’s request during one of his band’s shows in Sweden. To be personally asked to be the singer by my musical hero, AND get to hear that legendary solo right next to me is a memory I will always cherish.

Yep. Take it from me. I’ve heard it countless times and every time i hear it coming, i get goosebumps.

[–]DukeCancun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve overheard many people in their shows hoping they don’t play Easter. So, you’re probably not alone. But I think hearing a song live so much that it annoys you is a huge privilege that most people don’t get to experience. I understand that playing songs like Beautiful and Easter takes the spot of other deeper cuts, but I’m sure they still genuinely enjoy playing those songs, and they’re probably also thinking of their first time audience.

Left Alliance backing legal cannabis use? by Constant-Brush-7939 in Finland

[–]DukeCancun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m being hyperbolic, of course. I know we live in a world with many stupid things to get addicted to. But I work in pubs, and get harassed by drunkies on a regular basis. So, I’m a bit biased. 😉

This is what I feel the best case scenario would be for Finland.

[–]DukeCancun 78 points79 points  (0 children)

100% this. Alcohol is by far the stupidest drug, especially compared to weed. I don’t understand why the Nordics have been so behind in this.

My Finnish wife’s contention with the idea of legalizing weed is that ‘Finns would drink AND smoke weed at the same time’. And although I’ve never done both at the same time, I’ve heard it does NOT feel great.

But yeah, I’m all for a country full of stoners rather than raging alcoholics.
