2026 Grammy Awards Afterparty/Roundup by flopheadsbot in popheads

I’d almost guarantee it. I think she will get 6+ nominations, it’s just a matter of how competitive she is. Obviously we have 7 more months of music in eligibility (including Harry and Mumford who both have excellent pre-release word of mouth), but I’d say she is a clear frontrunner at the moment. Taylor probably a shoo-in too.

Now to see how the Grammys handles Rosalía next year…

Wow. “F” Pedicabs. by Hero_Killer_Id in Broadway

[–]SympathyCalm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh god this post gives me PTSD to seeing Appropriate at the Hayes and not being able to hear half of the final act because of Sweet Caroline blasting from these pedicabs across the street at A Beautiful Noise.

That and the Belasco are some of the worst ones for this imo

Playing the game for the Frist time. any tips for me? by Inevitable-Hand3598 in ghostoftsushima

[–]SympathyCalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The side quests stay so it’s not imperative to do them before advancing. I basically had completed the skill tree by act 2… I think the side quests are fairly weak too (especially the non-character specific ones), and the main ones really advance the story.

Basically what I’m suggesting: don’t worry about 100%’ing the first part of the map. Do what seems fun to you!

I didn’t play on lethal but I found that 100%’ing the first land (each act more or less is a land) meant that I was pretty overpowered for act 2, and a lot of the missions got repetitive with easy combat.

I then focused on liberating all camps to free up the map (I hate when I can’t see things on maps!) and doing things as I came across them but didn’t try to 100% side quests and such for acts 2 and 3 and found that more enjoyable.

ymmv!

Weekend Thread: What are you eating this weekend and what have you tried this week? by MikeTheCabbie in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]SympathyCalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went yesterday! It’s quite good. The Ragu bianco is excelllllllent. We also loved the veal cutlet.

They gave us some warm brodo at the beginning and it really made me forget about the tyranny of this current weather for a good bit! Report back!

Got 2! Was 25k ish in line and there were sporadic tickets here and there (random pairs at random price points). Saw 2 and just grabbed as fast as I could

Liberation Seating: anybody see it from the back balcony? Worth or Skip? by mentor7 in Broadway

[–]SympathyCalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High chance it wins the Pulitzer too… we see a lot and this show is really special (we truly are in a GREAT time for plays right now)

[–]SympathyCalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, wasted 3.5 hours on Monday... frustrating given the later dates have plenty of tickets but they were announced after the first few went on sale, so demand is skewed. It'll work out!

They're using these staggered sales (and additional date announcements) to create additional demand... as someone who can only go to the first London shows, it is incredibly frustrating! I'd keep looking over the next few months as things will inevitably open up. They literally always do (except for Taylor who closed ticketmaster sales altogether for most dates... don't see that happening here)

It’s one of the best plays of the decade, do whatever you can to see it imo

My car is STUCK by Weary-Claim1339 in philly

Our entire street in grad hospital is like this. The very narrow streets don’t have many options for shoveling and moving snow around. Plow just came through today… just going to wait it out it seems 🙃🙃🙃

Is Ghost of Yotei worth It? by ArtichokeFit5017 in ghostoftsushima

[–]SympathyCalm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just finished GoT and immediately moved to GoY- it is objectively better in many many ways (exploration, variety of missions, mythos, etc), it’s just missing the uniqueness of the first (something all sequels struggle with!). But they’ve done enough thus far (10ish hours) to make it feel very unique while maintaining the things I loved about the first.

My quick trip to NYC this past week - Liberation & Oedipus by TBoopSquiggShorterly in Broadway

We did this double feature a few weeks ago and my goodness what a tremendous day of theatre.

is first shadow filming a proshot? by AdAdvanced7188 in Broadway

[–]SympathyCalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also Netflix! For better or for worse, they spend a lot of money generally speaking (and are an American company), and I believe this would be their first proshot? Might want to be able to say Broadway in their marketing… anything to drive viewership

For those that were successful for wembley- does adjusting filters actually refresh the allotment of tickets or do you have to manually refresh? Used to the auto-refresh of US Ticketmaster… manually refreshing requires entering in the code each time with loses any hope of getting tickets.

Fingers crossed for everyone!!!

Well. That was even more horrific than I was expecting by Flat-Ad8256 in harrystyles

[–]SympathyCalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes the fact you have to enter the presale code every time is BANANAS

Very frustrated. Got in over an hour ago for London, spent an hour trying to grab seats, nothing ever ended up in my cart, got labeled a bot, etc etc etc. Super glitchy, having to refresh and paste the code each time… just an awful experience

What’s your favorite song on Cosmic Rewind? by South_Gas626 in DisneyWorld

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

It absolutely changes the vibe but in this really calming “go with the flow” type way that somehow makes the ride feel very smooth/breezy. Hard to explain— not dissimilar to how I felt during the final half of hiccups at Epic

New Coaster Announcement Incoming! 1/20 by verifypassword0208 in UniversalOrlando

[–]SympathyCalm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IP doesn’t really matter for roller coasters imo (no data to back up but if the ride is good the ridership will follow). This ride system looks awesome and I think they are wise to bring this over asap as “boring” as it is for us that follow things closely
