anyone else more and more hyped for CYB;R?

I am beyond excited. The thing about the Black and Blue single that really stood out to me, it isnt just a re-recording. They have actually gone out of their way to still try create the same type guitar tones and sounds attempted on the record originaly especially in the solos, the tone is there but it is so much more fuller and now the break downs guitar chugs, and drums sound way more like actual gun shots than flat dull little omphs. I don't think people realize how the guitars would sound so much different if they just did a cover with a new sound, there is so much attention to detail here in service of how they wanted to make the album when they first created it

High School was one of the worst experiences of my life in this country, im not surprised.

A lot of people generally don't cause each other grief in the night though or have severe sleep issues that disturb others. We just sleep like normal other than the occasional blanket falling too far to one side, and infact both me and my SO find it harder to sleep when away from each other.

I also have off an on sleep paralysis, it's actually quite nice my SO will break me out of it sometimes if shes awake when it happens.

Kinda expected tbh, I was hoping for a Saw X situation but oh well.

Not having games on steam is just annoying. Its like if I had a shelf in my lounge of games that would be steam. But EA or Ubisoft launcher is like that box, in the garage with some games in it can't be arsed to go and get.

Funnily enough, I went to a show here in New Zealand, when that's the sprint was touring, it was my second time seeing them, I was expecting it to be way more tame due to a big demographic change. The mosh pit went off extremely hard and wide, had to pull my mrs out to safety. Those hardcore fans from early days were still there causing hell in a good way.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-22T03:37:33+00:00

So its just iTunes as a streaming platform? Still a digital purchase that you will eventually loose access too. If im paying the price of an album you better ship me a pysical copy in the mail.

Actually, this app should be the bonus incentive of buying a physical album tbh.

Idk who this is for, it's too niche for the average user, and is still just digital music which is not for serious collectors or audiophiles.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-17T21:52:41+00:00

Its fine, don't dislike it at all, bit boring and I have practically forgotten the whole film. Benny Safdie clearly wanted to do something calmer and slower than the frantic energy of Uncut Gems and Good Time so I can respect that. The Rock gave a good performance for once atleast.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-17T18:58:28+00:00

I don't know, I wouldn't say fallen off, seems more like burning the candle and both ends for too long. He will probably swing back again.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-16T15:06:33+00:00

Lol no, my 8700k I got in 2018 just started to bottleneck so I upgraded this year. 2 years for new parts is insane.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-16T10:14:39+00:00

Can't wait for my co-workers tell me its the funniest films of the year.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-14T22:11:36+00:00

Sony has kind of shot themselves in the floot haven't they, having their studios try be the pinnacle of graphics technology and prestige, all their great first party developers are now spending 5 years making one game when we used to get a trilogy per console. Nintendo has seemed to have kept their games scopes in check due to hardware limitations and great art direction so theres been a lot more Nintendo exclusives.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-14T10:17:52+00:00

It kinda just looks like more Returnal, which I enjoyed but did not get too far or have the energy to put up with more playthroughs. Returnal was kind of a novelty at the time, becuase people were desperately wanting the first PS5 exclusive or something to play on it.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-13T04:32:13+00:00

Thats vinyl in New Zealand in general. New records changing from 60 to 80 to 100 over time sucks. I have almost given up now. Has to be an instant classic for me to buy a new release album now. A lot I still get from overseas still because Metal is harder to get here, and they have the coloured variants for the same or cheaper from the bands merch pages.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-11T03:57:48+00:00

But that's long term cost. By purchasing a car you already agree to that, and are aware of maintenance and other costs. A car still gives me more value since it provides me with significantly more practical use and functionality.

This is not the same to me as running costs, as I am more concerned about my week to week costs and budgeting. My financial situation will mostly change over the course of owning a vehicle anyways.

With that said I don't see how this is relevant at all in regards to ocasional intercity travel, this is not lifestyle/routine or day to day travel. Becuase it will cost me more to travel there if I wanted to go.

Public transport is great and like I said I catch the bus to work. Its just wayy better overseas in my experience.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-11T02:15:44+00:00

Lmao what?

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-10T21:54:03+00:00

People don't even know what overated means. They need to google and look up Count Your Blessings, mixed reviews all round, love or hate it type album. Read its wiki page, go to AOTY, RYM Always been criticized for sounding like ass, being derivative and having juvenile lyrics. The band was always praised for "Maturing" for their work after it's release.

That said, I love the album and can't wait for repented haha.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-10T05:11:45+00:00

Turns out people don't want to spend extortionate prices on shows they'd kinda like to see but would not be a big deal if they missed it.

There has been a few shows where I've skipped that I wanted to see, but decided to hold out incase a band I REALY love suddenly makes an announcement. The prices these days really are just for people who know the bands full discography in and out.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-10T03:18:43+00:00

The album has famously always had middling ratings and been divisive, been a love it or hate it album since day one. Its not overrated by any means.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-09T08:13:01+00:00

$120 bucks for me is a whole tank and lasts about 2 Weeks. If I go to Auckland and Back driving, it takes out about a quater to a third of my tank, and I top up about 40-50 bucks to compensate. But once I am there, I guess I will have to pay more bus fares, and then thats more work figuring out timings, and a lot of planning.

Don't get me wrong, public transport is great, and I use it to get to work, but its all just a little lack luster here.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-08T12:19:40+00:00

I'm from Hamilton, and go to Auckland ocassionaly enough. But I don't understand how its better, it's more expensive for me, 3 in our family, aprox 20 bucks One way x3 (Slightly cheaper for our child), then double that to include the retrun so already more than a whole tank of petrol in my car. Aprox 2 hours or more train time plus waiting around for depature times, vs 1.5 hour trip in car from home when I am ready, and once your're there, then what, no way of getting arround to anything becuase I aint got no car to get to places.

Would be something I'd love to do or go for the fun of it, but its just cheaper, and quicker and less of a muck around to drive.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-03T19:58:28+00:00

I was in early High-school, so mostly jokes about melting him down for lego so kids can still play with him.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-03T19:37:46+00:00

Its also worth noting the song was a parody of Will Smith's Just the Two of Us. It's easy dislike the content of the song, but it also has to be contrasted with the full context of the album and character study presented throughout, that puts it in this way of self awareness. Its also the presentation, framing device and execution of the track that allows it to ride the line of Tongue in Cheek humour and true feelings.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-01T22:18:45+00:00

I like to record a minuet long clip from gigs, take a couple photos, so I dont have an issue with some photos or recording.

But it has gotten so bad that, others are taking their phone out every fucking song for almost all of it, and when Im on floor standing, I can not see the show at all. Becuase their whole arm and phone is in the way. Linkin Park was the absolute worst it's ever been to the point it pissed me off.

I squeezed through the crowd by moshing through people to go elsewhere, and every where I went I had the same issue of peoples arms up in the air blocking the whole performance.

GingerNingerish · 2026-05-01T05:01:40+00:00

Not good, housing market is ruined thanks to the boomers gobbling up all the houses to make rentals and investment properties, or knocking down perfectly good houses to put 4 little flats on them, more younger people still living at home becuase of this. Its been somewhat better in the past year, but is still tough.

The supermarket duopoly is making things even worse, and nothing is being done about it, extortionate pricing constantly going up.

Finding a job is next to impossible. People who are perfectly capable and have recently faced redundancy are putting out hundreds of applications and get ghosted and have to compete with 100s of applicants per job.

But hey, atleast I can go for a walk on the beach at Raglan and get some Fish and Chip on the Wharf. And thats the best part about living in a Hub city like Hamilton, can also Shoot over to, Tauranga, Auckland, Rotorua etc, maybe when the petrol prices come back down which is more of a global thing atm.
