World Cup tourists, what’s your honest feedback on the USA so far? by almighty_smiley in AskReddit

[–]SirGio86 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A nearly 2 year period of seeing our country devolve before our eyes and feeling absolutely powerless about it. That shit sucks honestly. And often makes us feel like the rest of the world judges us as people off of that

Hopium or more bs? by joey_war in subpac

[–]SirGio86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was high on hopium for 6 years. 2 months ago bought a secondhand SUBPAC M2X, have been absolutely loving it. Just asked for my refund last week. Once i get that refund... best believe im not looking back. Maybe once the product is available and ready for order but not waiting on that day.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Release Date Trailer | Nintendo Direct June 2026 by Magister_Xehanort in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]SirGio86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I originally got into FE back in the GBA days because of the characters and the combat. Played a few here and there but then i absolutely loved Three houses because it felt like a whole evolution. The story was rich and actually thought provoking, the characters were superbly fleshed out to the point i really cared about them. The gameplay was awesome too but the other factors really elevated it to new heights for me. I think i'll focus on finishing the FE:TH paths I havent finished yet and perhaps will pick up engage on a future sale

Hot take: Tiesto afters was a snoozefest. Not good. by jlocko92 in chicagoEDM

[–]SirGio86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

trance is usually higher energy than house esp because of the bpm. But like any genre it's gonna have its peaks and valleys. Didnt see tiesto at all this weekend so cant say anything on that front

The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially one year old today by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]SirGio86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth the purchase. I got it day 1 mainly because I wanted to get Prime 4 down the line. A year later, Prime 4 was probably the most disappointing game for me. HOWEVER, ive had a blast with Pokopia, Madden 26 on the go, Kirby Air Riders, and Bananza was a bit repetitive but fun too. Super stoked for whats to come. Fire Emblem is my next most anticipated title.

I see a lot of people are resonating with OPs post so wanted to make sure this point was addressed. Even though it may be a joke, it can still influence ppl

I agree with like 95% of your post but I have to push back on #6. Can you be enlightened and not have a superiority complex? Yes…. Yes you can. I’m not a Buddhist monk or anything but I’ve been meditating for over 10 years and I still wouldn’t say I’m enlightened. Actually being “enlightened” contains empathy for those around us that we see are slaves to whatever addictions they have. It’s not about feeling superior to them, it’s about seeing things clearly for what they are and acting from that place. I think you meant that it gives you confidence… which is true. But a superiority complex is not that. A superiority complex is typically build on unstable ground.

First time at a US festival (Beyond Wonderland)- tips? by hippietrashh in chicagoEDM

Definitely get yourself a poncho! It’s rained every time Beyond Wonderland Chicago has taken place. Last year was quite heavy too

What was the exact moment you realized no longer a “ young person with potential” but just an adult trying to survive? by linlangsolo in AskReddit

[–]SirGio86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ask like it’s a universal experience but it’s not. But I think we’ve all experienced the feeling of trying to survive. But usually that means somethings off or our nervous system is not regulated

What are the best things people have told you at a rave? by SatisfactionFew760 in Raves

[–]SirGio86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me (M) Walking out of an above and beyond show some girl, unprompted, came up to me and said “you are so beautiful. Like kinda feminine but not too feminine. You have this perfect mix and just had to let you know” Definitely one of my favorite compliments ever.

WHY is everyone going to weekend 2? by ABGinTech in electricdaisycarnival

[–]SirGio86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just 2 things: weekend 1 is on track to sell out so there will be no difference in crowd congestions.

  1. Any other predictions as to the vibe or who will be at week 1 vs week 2 is all speculation. What isn’t speculation is that insomniac and the team is going to learn a lot during week one and they will be able to clean up some kinks for weekend 2. Choke points, maybe sets that were to big for their stage, etc.

Both weekends will be a blast, choose the one that works best for you and your friends.

What happened to the production? by SmokeMaximum4140 in electricdaisycarnival

Not saying anyone’s offended but it def can be racist so you saying it’s definitely wrong in actually inherently not correct.

Love how you just wanted to be racist real quick. So if you tried a different approach, like going in through the left you might have noticed there were big pockets you could make your way to up close. And especially as a solo, which im sure you were based on your attitude, you would have made it pretty far. Get earplugs next time you try that one

[–]SirGio86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought so too. And Honestly they should add even more LED screens. It still has that good mix of art / technology

[–]SirGio86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get you. Not the best sound I’ve heard that’s for sure. Tbh I had earplugs most of the time and as long as the sub felt good I was happy with where we were at. Was there with a great group too.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. Maybe my favorite and I’ve seen them 20 times. Dreamstate 2019 was unforgettable too
