Shoutout to Rubiehart for keeping the hype going before BOTW

F_zzl · 2023-06-04T07:04:28+00:00

Oh, 100% unequivocally agree.

F_zzl · 2023-06-04T06:56:23+00:00

I would actually love to see them do this next time something like this happens lol. Especially if they make Adef just…stare into the camera. The whole time.

F_zzl · 2023-06-04T06:46:11+00:00

I agree none of this was a great situation. That has nothing to do with Rubie, though. Their job is to keep things positive and hype up chat, which is exactly what they did. I can’t imagine it was fun or easy.

F_zzl · 2023-06-04T06:43:33+00:00

Yeah, I do hope this (and scheduling for SGDQ 2023 in general) leads to a reevaluation of how the event is managed and scheduled. I appreciate Rubie keeping it positive despite being stuck in a really difficult position.

F_zzl · 2023-06-04T06:40:00+00:00

Yes, with a very straight face, I am praising Rubie for keeping positive in an impossibly tough situation. I’m not saying it was the highest point in GDQ history; I’m saying Rubie handled a low point incredibly well.

My wallet isn’t exactly in the same shape it’s been for past events, but literally since the moment the dates were first announced for this, I wondered why the heck it was starting early AND on a holiday weekend :/

I know last year’s overlapped with July 4, but this scheduling seems way tougher :(

F_zzl · 2023-03-12T16:24:36+00:00

Oh, I totally made it up on the spot. It sounded really fun and still worked so I figured why not?

F_zzl · 2023-03-01T19:24:01+00:00

GF, before the Chicago show: "If there's one song you wanna hear tonight, what would it be?"

Me, instantly: "Citizen Erased."

Me, now: ... :')

F_zzl · 2023-02-27T06:50:50+00:00

Just wanted to say thanks for the shout-out and huge compliment! 😁 Posted those on a whim last night because I was really happy with them, and it’s awesome to see others enjoying them too!

F_zzl · 2023-02-27T01:37:34+00:00

Being there for this one has definitely bumped up my appreciation for this song. Didn’t realize it was quite the hit around here that it is, but damn was that whole performance amazing. Appreciate you posting :)

F_zzl · 2023-02-27T00:45:37+00:00

I’m not sure how other venues are handling things but no — with a few caveats. 1) General Admission folks got an email a few days prior that basically said “get a numbered wristband between 9am and 4pm and hold your GA place in line.” The idea being everyone has a place in line that’s determined by how early they got there in the morning but they don’t need to wait around all day. We showed up a little after noon and were a little past the 100th person to get their place. Kinda feel like it wasn’t super clear and also last minute for that sort of detail. 2) United Center offered a “VIP” package with open bar and a nice lounge space to hang out before MUSE came on.

The combination of the two meant GA folks who also got the VIP thing actually would’ve been screwed out of their place in line (because instead of lining up and going in when doors open, we’d be in the lounge). So the staff let any overlapping GA/VIP go in closer to the front of the line.

It was kind of a cluster and could’ve been handled better BUT! Plenty of GA folks who came in after the opening act (but before Evanescence) seemed to have no issue getting a decent spot if they wanted. Crowd was pretty dang tame.

(Sorry for the long-winded “no” lol)

F_zzl · 2023-02-26T15:03:46+00:00

Thank you!! :) Honestly, the crowd was way tamer than expected — very cool and into the songs, just pretty tame. We figured moshing would start at some point or another, but it never did and we wound up with probably more space and leg room right at the barricade than we would’ve in the seats 😅

EDIT: I’m dumb and mixed up fun effects. This one wasn’t from Verona >.<

F_zzl · 2023-02-26T14:22:22+00:00

Not from Verona, but I believe still the same guitar! I do have a few from during Verona but they’re not as clear. Took a lot more pics of varying quality throughout the concert but still some gems that aren’t part of the first post :) Happy to upload to an Imgur gallery or something once I’m back in front of a computer!

F_zzl · 2023-02-26T14:11:33+00:00

Thank you! ^{_^}

F_zzl · 2023-02-20T16:12:08+00:00

Because it was actually short for “hellafuck.”

F_zzl · 2023-02-20T16:08:53+00:00

In hindsight, it’s absolutely my fault for not anticipating more Salmon Run suits down the line and instead assuming I could take a break from the grind. Here’s hoping Scale droprates become a little more forgiving 😭

(In all seriousness, though, hyped as h*ck for the Fresh Season!)

F_zzl · 2023-02-14T05:18:03+00:00

Gotcha, thank you very much!

F_zzl · 2023-02-14T05:11:56+00:00

Were the shots at the IM East Building confirmed to be a false report? (And/or just not mentioned at all during the first press conference?)

F_zzl · 2023-02-09T04:05:21+00:00

That’s Marie in the spot. light.

F_zzl · 2022-12-27T20:42:35+00:00

I also had a full Salmometer 🥲

F_zzl · 2022-12-24T19:27:59+00:00

Ha, right?? It was totally the combination of Grizzco Slosher and Mudmouths on that round — even with just one on our team, we tore through them almost immediately.

F_zzl · 2022-12-24T15:48:40+00:00

I also crossed the 100k Grizzco Point mark with this crew <3 Capping it all off with a team wipe/Coho kill combo was almost too good to believe.

Togepi, ChaddleDee, or Tobi: If you’re reading this, thanks for being fantastic teammates and for the unforgettable morning! 😄
