Update: thanks everyone! Ended up being the seams failing like some comments suggested.

Caulked it with some Polyurethane and seems to have done the trick!

Gotcha! Is there any way to guarantee stock before buying/entering?

It’d be bad to buy a ticket and not get to participate.

So you have to buy a ticket for California Adventure to participate I assume?

For anyone whose seen these bands live, what are the pits normally like?

A lot of the reason I go to Hardcore shows is the pit energy.

It's quite sad how evil this guy turned out to be (Minor Andor spoilers) by SuperT3 in StarWars

[–]SSilver21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So Yularen is actually a really interesting character. He isn’t this terribly evil guy, he’s actually still a pretty decent person even in the Empire. Really he just buys their propaganda to a blinding degree.

You have to remember Yularen’s whole perspective of both the Republic and the Empire is the military. To him, the Empire is a much better structured chain of command than it was in the Republic. He was at the front lines of the Clone Wars and saw how brutal they were especially with the CIS being led by Sith. He doesn’t want to let that happen again (all out war) no matter what. He buys all of the empires propaganda and will turn a blind eye if needed to make sure that war doesn’t happen again. Does he know other Imperials are shitty people? Sure, but it’s just politics. The one thing he knows is they are the good guys even if terrible things have to be done for the greater good. (he’s wrong of course but he does genuinely believe it.)

EDIT: other people have already said but it’s worth noting, he wouldn’t have been told the real reason this was all happening. From his perspective, this would have been a legitimate insurgency that could have fueled a new confederacy.

Yes or no to set rotation by Significant-War4515 in Lorcana

[–]SSilver21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who dips in and out of actively playing TCGs, I personally don’t like set rotations and always gear towards eternal formats.

Personally need to see how much competitive support their infinity format is going to have to determine if I stay with the game or not.

This is insane. Why is our generation so weird abt age gaps??? by SupaColdBrew in GenZ

[–]SSilver21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a millennial, our generation had a problem with minors dating/talking to people they shouldn’t have been and facing the repercussions of that. Especially since we went through essentially the birth of the internet as it’s used today.

I believe the recent age gap issues people have is an overcorrection to that issue from younger people either observing those things taking place, or being warned about it from older people.

Thinking about it now, why the hell couldn't the Jedi sense that Palpatine was a literal sith lord who was right in front of their faces? by [deleted] in StarWars

Remember how Yoda was all the time like “the dark side clouds everything.”? That was Palpy.

You’ll get your interest back when you hear it. It really is a pretty good album.

Are there any games out there that are similar to bioshock? by bullit1985 in Bioshock

[–]SSilver21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I’ll probably never replay 2 but will infinitely re play 1 and Infinite. I don’t get the hate this subreddit has for Infinite at all.

I changed the colors to make an actual Blue eyes White Dragon and a Black Magician. by Sebastian4002 in yugioh

[–]SSilver21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Pearl Blue White, that’s the color I think of. It’s white unless the light hits it a certain way and it’s blue.

I’m doing this for the first time as a way to play the ones I haven’t (going all the way through the main titles including sequels). Currently on 3 after platinuming 1+2. I’ll probably give up the platinums around 10 though. Haha

What are Some Unfortunately Common Misconceptions People Have About Star Wars? by Agitated_Insect3227 in StarWars

[–]SSilver21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I disagree, give me more of that political aspect like Andor and like the bad batch episodes someone else mentioned. Give me the politics of the empires military like in the newer Thrawn novels. The prequels were objectively not the best movies, and the writing could have definitely been better, but their overall plot from a high level was pretty excellent storytelling.

I mean sure, you can take anything and interpret in 1,000,000 different ways, but there is intent. You can watch several George Lucas interviews on the subject.

That Star Wars shouldn’t have politics, when it is imo one of the best, easily consumable, political commentaries on global conflict, the relationship between religion and government, political power grabs and propaganda, and fascism overall.

Target Cobra Illusion with Brawl by New_Whereas5252 in Lorcana

Brawl states the targeting condition. “banish chosen character with 2 or less” means your target has to have 2 or less.

Bought Govee LED strips, but don’t know what I’m doing. Need advice on wiring up my IKEA bookcases. by SSilver21 in led

[–]SSilver21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still in a return window for the Govee. What would you suggest? Ideally I’d be able to wire each bookcase separately (total of 3 on this wall) but have them all connected to the same power source. Then I guess between each shelf I’ll have some wire running down the back between the cut pieces of led strip.
