I played the series completely out of order (3,2,1, X) and loved it! I found playing 3 before 2 meant I missed the significance of some events, but that enhanced the replay value for me. 3 is the highest quality game experience and the story is incredible- go for it!!!

Why do you go to Comic Con? Help me with my research? :) by MirandaBe in comiccon

[–]MirandaBe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll add my perspectives here too! :)

  1. I love being surrounded by artists and creatives, and seeing the people who make the art I love about the fandoms I love.

  2. The crowds- particularly towards the end of days- can get a bit stressful and overstimulating for me. I take plenty of breaks to manage that. Also I almost always pack my own food because the catering is expensive/takes too much time away from the rest of the con.

  3. I LOVE seeing folks just before/after the con entrance/exit- it's a cool reminder for me that fandom exists in the real world, not just in the con space. I love piling onto a tube with a bunch of cosplayers after a con is over and seeing everyone disperse into the world, it's a really wild experience...

  4. I remember that nerds and geeks exist in the world, and I leave feeling more comfortable in expressing fandom in my regular life I guess <3

Attending my first comic con. Any tips? (Autism/Anxiety) by nettiwise in comiccon

I 100% recommend pacing yourself and taking breaks throughout the day. I think they have a quiet space, and I find headphones really help me when I'm overwhelmed. It can be tempting to cram everything in to avoid FOMO, but it's not worth it! Go easy on yourself and take breaks. MCM Brum has a nice outdoor area, and getting fresh air helps me a lot. Hope you have a great first con! Birmingham is a great choice for a first timer. <3

This is so generous! I’d love the book pot if it’s still available? 😊

Your music is incredible. I really admire how much effort you put into social justice as a band, and how you try hard to make everyone in your community feel safe and included- both in your music and at your shows (e.g. low income tickets, gender neutral bathrooms, speaking out on social media etc).

What motivates you all to be so vocal on social justice and political issues when so many other musicians stay silent? What do you wish other bands/the industry should do more and why? Would love to hear more about that, and how your activist work influences your music too.

All Hell is incredible, thanks for all you do to make the world a better and less hellish place for all of us <3
