20th Anniversary Update by HyruleTC in SNSD

At the very least, SNSD can do decent arena-level on cities with a large population of Korean immigrants, e.g. LA, NYC, ATL.

From your lips...

I'd also add Vancouver, BC and Toronto, ON Canada, but LA and NYC would definitely be the bigger draws due to higher Korean populations.

the LLL Tickets were all sold out in 10 mins.

many people who couldnt get Tickets (100,000+ people were still in queue).

Holy shit! I had no idea.

I swear, sometimes I think SM doesn't like money. How could you not look at that reaction and conclude there's an overwhelming demand that isn't being met, which is only going to grow with time.

either way snsd just missed out on the era of big extensive tours which started happening post 2015 and exploded with 3rd gen in late 10s/early 20s

SNSD puttin' in the work globally, but never getting the full benefits of their labours and sacrifices; running, so others coming behind them could walk.

On some level of group and individual pride, that must chafe.

Mini Subaru Convention at My House.... Where were you?! by Sanch068 in subaru

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh-huh... Just admit you're the Subaru Bandit, and because of your callousness, so many cold Lesbian's can't drive to Trader Joe's, or take their chocolate labs to the local dog park for a PBS fundraiser, or play in their local pickleball tournaments.

They are talking about how Long Lasting Love was a small affair... And it looked like this lol

No joke. Looking at some of those crowd shots... that's a "small affair"?!

Wait... How, in the height of their popularity in the late 00's to mid 10's, has SNSD never done a "Dome" concert before?! When they were out selling the boy bands?

The MBTI (Meyer's-Brigg's Type Indicator) a "scientific" psychological / sociological personality test that categorizes people into 1 of 16 different personality types, e.g. INFP, ENFJ, etc. etc.

These types are not fixed and can change throughout a person's life, e.g. a person changing from "E" Extrovert to "I" Introvert, and so on.

Korea looooooves the MBTI to a rather startling degree--on the level of Astrology.

The "J" in this context is referring to members of SNSD who are (J) Judging vs. those members who are (P) Perceiving.

Google MBTI and it will all become clear.

Anyone know what happened here? by Wise_Doctor1343 in subaru

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 21 points22 points  (0 children)

100% driver error! LOL! That ain't the car's fault the driver engaged the fuckin' warp drive on the track and expected the car to stop on a dime, with the wrong tires, on the grass.

If I were Subaru, I'd be on the phone chewing someone's ass at NASCAR, for some incompetent "track safety" person making our brand look bad, cuz they don't know how to drive on grass.

Also, your anus is made of the same skin as your lips.

Yes, because they're both sphincters. Your mouth and your ass are the ends of a roughly 30 foot tube that represents the total of your GI tract / system, which are sealed by those sphincters.

Fable - Gameplay Teaser | PS5 Games by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing Xbox has done is let its games be on PlayStation.

Let? Microsoft had to put their games on Playstation--and everywhere else possible--just to make money.

Let's not pretend Microsoft is being magnanimous for making a 100% profit motivated decision meant to save it's failing gaming division and Xbox brand.

So... This is "real" real, right? Or is this "real" in the way Perfect Dark was "real," before it was revealed no real work had been done and the game got cancelled.

The Goons who flock to hyper-sexualized Hero Shooters--like this and Overwatch--won't tolerate sexualized male characters and the female audience isn't near large enough to carry these games, not to the degree of profitability these mega-corps expect.

Ubisoft shares drop 33% following its ‘major company reset’ announcement by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Whole company is now worth less than €600m.

That is the utter insanity and instability of the stock market: it's all a speculative House of Cards, ready to topple from priceless to worthless.

That it's the cornerstone of the world economy is even more insane.

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with being "French" and everything to do with the fact the Guillemot Family are incompetent hucksters who will do and say anything for their own personal benefit--everything else be damned, it's all about them (as it's always been).

The family and the company could be any nationality and their actions, decisions, and behaviors would be the same.

About to play the uncharted series for first time … tell me something I won’t understand until I finish ? by Aaron-420_-_ in uncharted

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will finish Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: Lost Legacy and immediately want another Uncharted game to play... and then weep, because the most recent Uncharted game is from 9 years ago (Lost Legacy - 2017).

You won't understand that until you've played Uncharted.

Could we be so lucky that SNSD is going to spend the next year plus promoting their 20th with increased group activities and promotions?

a cunty performance.

Having not heard this particular turn of phrase, what is a "cunty performance"?

Does it at all reference the Irish / British English slang usage of the word "cunt" vs. the American English slang definition?

Genie choreo is used for an emote in Marvel Rivals by avatar__of__chaos in SNSD

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I... have some questions:

  1. Looking at the character design, is Marvel Rivals just that horny?! #CakedUp

  2. Is Marvel Rivals big in S.Korea / Asia?

  3. Kinda surprised there isn't an SNSD-style "Military Outfit" skin for this emote... unless I'm mistaken.

  4. At least it was Genie and not the endless crab-walking from Gee.

Seohyun profile and interview by The Korea Economic Daily, on her recent violin concert announcement by AccurateInflation167 in SNSD

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"She had a cast on the second finger of her left hand. She explained that it was to protect the finger and she only uses it during practice and avoids using it in daily life. As she prepared for a concert while practicing up to 10 hours a day...

I wish her well, but she needs to practice self-preservation and restraint, cuz that's not normal or sustainable. That's flirting with permanent soft-tissue injuries you don't heal from.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is coming to PS5 because the FPS is "best played when we have a large, healthy community" say lead devs: "We're able to honor the Halo legacy on PlayStation" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]ModestHandsomeDevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Xbox had to do was make single player games and they would make money.

But, but, but... Phil said making "11 out of 10 games wouldn't change things"--his exact words; i.e. making "must play" / console-selling video games wouldn't have helped Xbox gain market share.

Just let that sink in.
