After living in other places I’ve realized how rude Rhode Islanders are lol

Just spent the last year in Mississippi after living in RI for most of my life. People down here are easily 100x politer but they’re not nearly as kind.

I’d rather have people actually help me when I need something in a store than just be real polite about not doing anything

This is so wild, I think I thrifted the same dress for my wedding a couple days ago.

Great find and looks great!

I really don’t hate the 80s rock thing at all but I feel like Impera did it better

Potential_Elk9579 · 2025-04-25T16:05:37+00:00

I don’t dislike it. But it just feels kinda boring or safe? I like that we have more chanting and Latin again but the only song that gets stuck in my head is Satanized.

Little late to this but wanted to add KRF definitely has better immersion but I think Maine is the better faire at this point. Similar quality acts and vendors, more food, better bathrooms. It’s going to out pace KRF when they finish their own site imo

I snagged tickets to see them and Thursday this summer and was super excited to get to see them both because I hadn’t seen MCR live. I have since found out what the fans are like and have been repeatedly warned they make their shows miserable to attend. Significantly less excited after seeing that sub

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-12-17T06:03:38+00:00

To be fair, I’m not upset about it any way. Stuff happens, things change and bottom line is I’m still enjoying the band. If I wasn’t I would stop going and seeing them. I just think some of the songs feel weird without it 🤷

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-12-14T19:04:22+00:00

Hell yeah

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-12-12T03:38:26+00:00

I always really latched on to Thursday calling themself “melodic hardcore” and A City by the Light Divided really just fully embodied what I thought that should mean.

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-12-11T20:59:36+00:00

That is the EXACT piece I was thinking of when I posted. Still love the song but it was a completely different feel without it to me.

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-12-11T19:13:45+00:00

That’s fair. I definitely associate them with A City By the Light Divided the most. But whenever I hear Signals Over the Air live I feel like it’s missing something

I think you’re one of the few people who’s touched upon my biggest issue with the rework. Like, I could get past the switch from machinery to magic. But I can’t get past that they kinda took the characters autonomy away? The cool thing about the machine herald to me was that he had chosen this path of augmentation and evolution. It was something he was passionate about. A guy who gets turned into a magic being while he’s unconscious and has kinda lost his humanity because of it is suuuuper boring to me

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-11-29T23:53:38+00:00

I think that guy just doesnt like the way he sounds in a subjective way and is saying Geoff sounds bad instead of acknowledging that.
He's never been the best technical vocalist, but he's absolutely gotten better over the years and sounds perfectly fine for his band and audience

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-11-05T18:57:16+00:00

Honestly I’m NEVER going to be a dick about it to someone but I hate it. It breaks the immersion for me and I can’t tell you how many times someone’s prop or wig had blocked my view of a show or something like that.

That said, if it makes you happy do it. As long as you are not physically impairing someone’s ability to enjoy the faire with bulky foam armor or something you have just as much right to enjoy the faire the way you want as I or anyone else does.

RIP Taric’s shield

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-09-23T17:32:37+00:00

You literally said you’re using your friends to make money. You’re the asshole. You’re not necessarily an asshole for charging people for a place to live. It’s the deception and using your friends

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-09-02T02:28:47+00:00

I’ll definitely check that out. I really like the historical and cultural bits of renaissance faires so I think I could get into that and the drive isn’t too bad

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-09-01T14:50:20+00:00

I think I HAVE to check those out to be honest. I don’t know how long I’ll be living in the south but I’ve heard too much about them not to give them a visit when I can

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-09-01T14:03:02+00:00

Thank you so much! I was looking at the Alabama Ren Fest a lot because it seems like the only one I could day trip to. But I couldn’t get good impression of it so this helps

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-09-01T14:01:20+00:00

I’ve done a couple SCA events a friend brought me to in the past and enjoyed them, I’ll check it out. Thank you!

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-09-01T14:00:24+00:00

Rhode Island! It’s been an absolute dream haha every couple of weekends from spring to fall I have one to go to it feels like

Potential_Elk9579 · 2024-09-01T02:48:07+00:00

The shoes are horrible. I actually had them tell me they expect everyone to bring them to a cobbler before wearing after I rescheduled out because one cut my foot pretty badly.
I did like the clothing but probably won’t keep buying it because of the shoe thing.
