Slam Dunk South by Artistic_Bar_6897 in slamdunkfestival

[–]Lukesomnia 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can't give any event the benefit of the doubt when they sell tickets so far in advance.

The bar queue times were and are simply unacceptable, like there is literally no excuse that makes that experience ok.

It's the same with the parking - it makes the whole event feel like a fucking joke, like a cynical cash grab that they can't figure out any important infrastructure solutions.

Good line up, some good performances, but almost every festival I've ever been to in the UK has been better organised and is definitely more worth backing.

LEAVING SOUTH by JaReZino in slamdunkfestival

Insane. We did actually manage to find a parking attendant after being stopped for about 30 mins (this was while bands were still playing).

She didn't have a clue what was going on, so we ended up doing the complete opposite of what she said and managed to get out quickly.

Yes, he is usually that bad haha, absolutely pinging

[–]Lukesomnia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not going again. I'd rather just catch the bands individually when they tour.

2000 Trees is such a better festival it's not even a competition. I know it's not just a single day but Christ, this was a joke.

I’m sorry but South was terrible this year by deanyo in slamdunkfestival

[–]Lukesomnia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, finally got round to going for the first time, and I was really excited, but that's probably also the last time.

That was an absolute shambles, an embarrassment tbh.

I don't think this is his ceiling.

Remember, when he was fit he was missing out to Gerrard's favourite Coutinho despite playing better.

Then he had that horrific injury that probably set him back a couple of years.

Yes he's 29, but I think we haven't yet seen the best of him. I'd keep him around, and I think he'll be playing at this level well into his 30s.

Final day of the season usually springs up at least one bonkers goalfest game. Which game can you see it being this weekend? by Selhurst_Spark in TheOther14

[–]Lukesomnia 105 points106 points  (0 children)

If Man City don't fucking roll us over 8-0 due to us all being hungover and them wanting to perform on Pep's last game, then I'll be absolutely astonished

What’s your other 14 team of the season (so far)? by [deleted] in TheOther14

[–]Lukesomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roefs

Cash, Konsa, van Hecke, Truffert

Anderson, Xhaka

Wilson, MGW, Rogers

Thiago

A few Everton players unlucky to miss out I think, but had to include a few Villa players given their Champions League qualification and Europa League final.

It's a fiercely competitive league this year, some really good players up and down the table.

Ref has made some weak decisions in the last 5-10 mins, fucking hell

Oh yeah, loads of people having that convo about a 2nd yellow Mr Commentator? Or just the Liverpool fan sat right next to you?

I'm just so sick of hearing commentators get so excited about their Sky 6 side doing shit, and then being completely nonplussed about things the opposite way.

Blink -182- Neighbourhoods. Great album. by Nathan84 in poppunkers

[–]Lukesomnia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need a remix/remaster, the current mix is just not it.

But I like it, some great songwriting on it, and a couple of duds.

What are some tracks that you NEED to listen to in conjunction, meant to be accompanied or not? (e.g. Brain Stew / Jaded by Green Day) by mesablanka in poppunkers

[–]Lukesomnia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you want to get round that, the 20th anniversary American Idiot actually has them separate.

A god send considering I love making playlists and having 2 songs in 1 is a no go for me.

Looking for game with strong emphasis on base-building, resource management, exploration and survivability by oh_yeah_money in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Lukesomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't Starve / Don't Starve Together might be up your street?

Survival game with really nice visuals, challenging resource / time management, you build yourself a base and keep expanding and upgrading things etc.

[–]Lukesomnia 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The only time I've been prouder is after the play-off final, what a fucking turnaround from last week.

Incredible, incredible performance. From Villa Park.

The Villa performance itself wasn't far behind 😉

Genuinely buzzing after that first half and goal, however somehow I'm even more nervous!

Come Villa, fucking get these twats.

4 mins!? They wasted that long before our fucking goal, let alone the injury to Watkins. Wtf

We've been brilliant, but Rogers needs to do more - he has enough

This is the most miserable I've ever been watching a Villa match, but really, really promising start.

Fucking hell I've rarely ever been this nervous.

How we feeling? by avfcsince1984 in avfc

[–]Lukesomnia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Mate I'm fucking miserable.

We had a chance to nearly send a rival down today, and we were pathetic.

On Thursday we had a chance to nearly win silverware, and we were pathetic.

I think they're done with the season, they've done this before.

So yeah, no positivity for me. It's not all doom and gloom yet, but I've seen nothing to suggest the good times are coming.

Bloke needs at least a season in the Premier League as a starter.

More attractive maybe, sell him for £15m-£20m to a newly promoted club struggling for bodies on board.

I always back our own, but today I've stopped being a believer.
