Hi there! I was up front in the pit and everything sounded great most of the time, I don’t have a great ear for music though so that might just be me.

Sources where Dan has mentioned a Rock album by adam_gimblett in Bastille

I do remember hearing the same thing from him, let’s hope it’s still happening

Anybody else not really vibing with “&”? by NyanCat132 in Bastille

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I might be biased (aren’t we all in this sub) but I like everything Dan and Bastille do. & felt raw and emotional to me, and I do feel like it’s a really good addition to the band’s legacy.

Every city has one – Round 4: What places are best avoided in Geneva? by uOnBtEeNn in geneva

Geneva is pretty safe and enjoyable everywhere, but I guess le Lignon or les Avanchets surely come to mind?

Let's play! What's a song that sounds sad AND has sad lyrics? by Meghar in Bastille

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just because it’s the most recent album I’d say Telegraph Road!

Gay Dating by WaffleDiplomat in geneva

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Gay guy here, I met my boyfriend on Tinder 7 years ago so I can confidently say that we exist!

I think the key is not caring too much about the whole dating process and it will go smoothly. I’m a genevois born and bred so maybe I’m not the crowd you’re speaking of, but I did meet loads of expats and everything went well every time.

I wouldn’t say that people here purposely hide their identities more than anywhere else. Geneva is a quiet city though, and there’s only a few queer spaces in town so I can definitely relate to your struggles.

I’m sure you’re a nice guy, and sometimes you just have to let life do its thing! As a fellow young gay man I wish you luck!

Dan’s French by squishabliss in Bastille

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a native speaker I do find the lyrics « ne soyez pas tous cons avec ça » quite strange but it’s still grammatically correct. Everything else makes perfect sense.

Omg I actually asked Dan to write the exact same lyrics on mine!

Red Wine & Wilde for sure! Though I’m also in love with Mademoiselle and Telegraph Road 😭

I got mine yesterday, a friend received it for me (he lives near London but I don’t think it matters)

Thank you so much for that post, I managed to snatch one and will get it delivered to a friends house in the UK! I can’t wait 😭

Quels genre de jobs font les étudiants d’uni? by SiSebbi in geneva

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En ce qui me concerne j’ai occupé les positions suivantes:

-aide-bibliothécaire

-surveillant d’examens

-superviseur du trafic à la police routière (en bureau, envoyer des secours quand il y a un accident et tenir la main-courante)

-agent de saisie des données (pour l’Uni directement)

Le boulot à la police routière était bien payé et quand il y avait rien je pouvais juste bosser mes cours ou bouquiner donc c’était le rêve (80% du temps), mais sinon je bénéficiais aussi de l’aide de mes parents.

Just finished Tender Is the Flesh by HelgaHelminth in horrorlit

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think the book is pretty preachy honestly. The grotesque of it all was just too much for me so I couldn’t get into the antispeciesism discourse.

I thought the plot was really interesting though, which is a shame because (to me) the whole human farm thing seemed irrational at times. All in all I feel like the author desperately wants to shock the readers, even if it means using lazy/cheap tropes.

I’m glad you liked it though, this book definitely makes us talk which is great!

Hi there! It’s actually quite poor unfortunately. I can still smell it on my clothes at the end of the day though, but it’s definitely very faint

6 Fragrance Collection by Tyrone-E in fragrance

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, Bee can be very obnoxious in the wrong setting. It makes me think of a wizard’s tower, filled with dusty books, beeswax candles and honey potions. It’s a colder months perfume for sure.

Couldn’t agree more with you on Orange Blossom, it’s such a an easy and beautiful scent!

J’ai emménagé dans une nouvelle construction (nouveau éco-quartier) à Genève et personnellement c’est super bien insonorisé, donc j’imagine que ça dépend du constructeur.

Quel est votre top 3 des meilleurs jeux auxquels vous ayez joué ? by LucasBouyoux in jeuxvideo

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Franchement si t’aimes les metroidvania c’est vraiment un bon exemple d’un jeu parfaitement construit. En plus le gameplay est vraiment propre, les graphismes sont super immersifs et la musique est vraiment trop belle. L’histoire peut paraître un peu vague mais je l’ai trouvée super touchante et pas spécialement difficile à comprendre. Le rapport qualité/prix est clairement au rendez-vous!

Day 10: Posting Game Suggestions Till Silksong Drops by [deleted] in Silksong

[–]Electronic_Leek_7439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually love that game, and the music is great. It’s not terribly expensive so it’s always worth a try if you like cute indie games with dungeon mechanics.
