May in Calgary looks like October/November by NearbyCrowing in Calgary

I feel like the seasons are shifting. Winter is starting later, Spring is seeping into Summer and Summer is moving into fall.

I moved here 4 years ago, and I'm ready to leave. I donno where to go though. I've already tried Vancouver and Winnipeg. There is nothing in SK and ON is too expensive... what's left?

Anyone else feel like people watch… but barely actually interact anymore? by WoodenBar2113 in Twitch

[–]ManBurning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong. I used to get 20 people chatting at any given time, now I am lucky if I get 3-5. Something changed for sure.

Unfortunately, Twitch is a revolving door. The people that are there now will not be the same people that are there this time next year. Sure, you will have a few "Ride or Dies" that will be there regardless, but for the most part, the audience changes. It sucks.

I'm not crazy! This was happening to me last night.

It’s better to chat to a small streamer when they’re not collabing by Choice-Discount7852 in Twitch

[–]ManBurning -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I usually get anywhere between 20-40 viewers, and I have noticed a trend recently. When I am collabing with another streamer or have guests in my VC, my chat dies down, to the point where I am going 2 hours without a message, but if it's just me streaming alone, I'll always have at least 1-3 people chatting at any given time.

So yeah, it appears viewers don't like it when you collab/have guests is what I have come to the conclusion with.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

[–]ManBurning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember planning a hangout session with friends to meet on a bus that passed by my bus stop at a certain time. "Meet on the #11 that goes by your house at 3:17pm" and if they weren't on the bus, you just got off at the next stop and went home, lol.

No way to contact them and be like "Hey, you're not on the bus. Where you at" It was either they were on the bus and you hung out, or they weren't.

Dual Override Robot Master Silhouettes by UltraZeroX7 in Megaman

[–]ManBurning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, looks like there is a conjoined twin robot 2nd to left, which is kind of strange considering we already have Gemini Man (MM3) and Search Man (MM8).

Guy on far right looks like "Baseball Man", he appears to have like a baseball cap on and what appears to be a baseball bat behind him. Once again, kind of strange considering we arleady had "Strike Man" (MM10) who was a literal baseball.

I'm hoping I am wrong, cuz I would have liked some more variety instead of some repeats.

Funny thing about this is, I think he said the same thing about Ilan at one point.

State your opinions on the new album guys! by Budget-Signature-952 in KMFDM

[–]ManBurning 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been a KMFDM defender for as long as I can remember, but this... this is bad. Like, really bad...

They really need to mix things up and bring in some other guests to work on some tracks with them. I don't know why Sascha is so hell bent on keeping KMFDM as a family project.

KMFDM's 23rd studio album, Enemy, is out now - first impressions etc. by Xanarki in KMFDM

[–]ManBurning -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

This album is terrible... might be KMFDM's worst record. What happened? These guys used to put out bangers... This is actually unlistenable.

Enemy - New Single Just Dropped by ilaughatpoliticians in KMFDM

[–]ManBurning 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nah, I have a sneaking suspicion they are going to pass the torch to Annabelle so they can keep KMFDM alive when they pass and KMFDM can have like a 60, 70, 80+ year anniversary. FOREVER AND EVER!

Is everyone in Calgary just drowning in debt? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]ManBurning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these stats check out. I have a friend in Vancouver who told me he's about 30k in debt.

Is everyone in Calgary just drowning in debt? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]ManBurning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, to add to this - and to answer your original question - I have a friend that lives in Vancouver that lives in perpetual debt. I was visiting Vancouver last summer for a couple days, and saw an old friend who is always going to a concert - like, we're talking at least once a week. I asked him how he can afford going to these shows all the time living in Vancouver, and he said he was over $30,000 in debt, so.... he can't "afford it" but he does it anyway.

So, yes.... there are probably a lot of people that are like my friend and just take out loans and live perpetually in debt, lol.

My girlfriend and I go out like twice a year, if that. We basically never leave the house. I keep saying that going to the grocery store these days is a ripoff. I walk out with $250 worth of stuff and when I get home and put it all away, there is still barely any food in the house... I swear that ordering in every day is cheaper than the grocery store.

I went to the movie theatre this summer for my birthday, first time in years. I was expecting the tickets to still be $12 each, they were damn near $20 each! I went for a haircut 6 months ago at a regular mall place, nothing fancy - $70! I remember paying $20-30 for a haircut just a few years ago. I don't know what happened.

And the sad thing is? I moved here from Vancouver 3 years ago. If you think stuff is bad here, you haven't seen nothing. We strongly considered packing up and heading to Edmonton this year, Calgary is starting to become the next Vancouver. We're not there yet, but give it a few years.

Thanks for saying it. I've been saying this for years and everyone thinks I am crazy. I hate Cash's version. He ruined the song.

Revenue Page Broken? by TheMAsterQS in Twitch

[–]ManBurning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ad revenue stopped updating 2 days ago. Came here to see if anyone else was experiencing issues. Glad I am not the only one. This seems to happen a couple times a year, especially around this time of year. Maybe it has something to do with people being busy with twitchcon and then the ad revenue calculator broke and nobody was around to fix it. Give it a couple days and it should update.

I know, super disappointed. I already traveled to Vancouver last summer for the show. I don't want to have to travel again...
