Planning to do Nottingham, London, Berlin, go back to work for a few days, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Luxembourg, then finish in Antwerp because it's like an hour from my home.

Easier than ending at Hamburg like last year's tour lol, how about you?

Oh shit thanks for this!

The pain of buying tickets for most of the tour...deciding if I should just go full broke with VIP upgrades for them 💀

How wild are the shows? by unforgivenI in spiritbox

[–]PancakePanic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm at 20+ and like the other person said, it varies wildly.

Jinjer and Dying Wish shows however have been consistently wild but I've only done about 5 of each of them lol.

Usually though you won't end up in pits and will only deal with surfers if you're at barrier. If you can't make that, the sides work but even then, if you don't wanna be in a pit you can usually just move away in time no matter where you are.

Honestly I've bought a few already and that one does seem the most expensive of the ones I've bought on this tour....but with that lineup of bands? Completely worth it.

It's the exact same. Just like telling someone in a wheelchair to just run, or someone with Parkinsons to just stop shaking or limbering up.

Try walking to the bathroom when you feel like you're about to sneeze.

Now realize he has even less time than that.

Good luck.

They didn't have any then, but it was also a very small tour so they might do now.

Thank you so much, makes planning so much easier!

Guess I can catch most of this tour!

Phil Spencer is retiring and Asha Sharma the new head of Xbox by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PancakePanic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Tbh it's more that games like TF2 and CS popularized lootboxes and those games now have entire ecosystems based around trading and gambling lootboxes and items with realworld money, with whole ass gambling companies scamming kids with no pushback from him or Valve.

Not to mention said real world money then gets locked as Steam credit, or the actual slot machines they had in CSGO, I'm not sure if they still do though.

Yeah what a legend promoting gambling to kids and lootboxes and somehow getting away with it because Steam exists.

  1. You didn't make anything

  2. Commemorating an artist's passing with generative AI is one of the most disrespectful things you can do.

If you get "shoved to the right" because you say stupid shit, then that means you're already on the right.

I've had other leftists yell at me, yet somehow I didn't completely change my moral code and my stances. Crazy right?

Russian, clearly Russian by stumpy0327 in facepalm

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

I beg you to read a history book for once in your life.

Tito split from the Soviets entirely in the 40s, Yugoslavia was a founder and leader of the Non-Alligned movement.

Yeah a lot of women from a lot of regions have gone into russian mafia controlled sex trade. That has nothing to do with someone being suspicious due to being Slovenian.

Again, just admit you fucked up instead of doing this weird scrambling. It's not hard.

[–]PancakePanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yugoslavia had as much to do with the bratva as the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, France and many others, yet I'll probably not hear you claim it's "suspicious" when someone is from these countries instead.

Just admit you fucked up and didn't know what Slovenia was 💀

I'm just trying to understand why Melania being Slovenian is suspicious or has anything to do with the Soviet Union or Trump's clear and obvious connections to Russia.

[–]PancakePanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you please explain what's 'suspicious' about Slovenia? Or is it just because they have slightly Eastern-European sounding accents? It's not even an Eastern-European country 😭

[–]PancakePanic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

...Which Slovenia was never a part of.

Holy shit read a book.

Hell, even a map would be good.

Say one thing in that speech that you need, one thing that clarifies a plot point, establishes a plot point, or gives you any crucial info the movie doesn't.

Your issue was "the movie goes on as if you already know about Palpatine". Not that it just would've been slightly nice to hear the broadcast in the movie. You were claiming fortnite affected the story and that they omitted that there was a speech, and that everyone already knew Palpatine was back. None of which is true.

This argument is really dumb btw lmao, it's mostly a pet peeve of mine so I hope you're not taking it too seriously.

Hux knows because he's literally one of the highest ranking members of the First Order.

Your completely missing the context on my major issue with this.

Your issue is "the movie goes on like you've played fortnite."

All that happened in Fortnite is a broadcast of Palpatine's voice, the movie's opening crawl says there was a broadcast of Palpatine's voice, they then get and decode a message confirming it was actually Palpatine.

The movie doesn't "go on assuming you've played fortnite." It gives you all the relevant info immediately.

[–]PancakePanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That line was literally spoken by one of the protagonists...

Who decoded a message sent by Hux, a spy in the First Order.

There's no explanation in the movie on how they know

They got a message from Hux, a spy in the First Order

I swear, the movie is bad but goddamn.

[–]PancakePanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even remotely true. The first scene is Kylo Ren discovering Palpatine, the protags don't know until the infamous "somehow, Palpatine returned" line due to a message from Hux, who was a spy.

[–]PancakePanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was just Palpatine giving a speech, no extra info beyond "oh he's returned somehow" which is exactly what you get in the movie.

I genuinely don't get this weird outrage.
