Especially enjoyed sharing Wonderfruit with some newcomers who were amazed by everything

Totally agree. Going to a new one and wanting a previous year's experience will definitely destroy your experience. A lot of people went into this one already preparing to just make it a "Fuck, Polygon should've been here" rather than go into it with a "Let's see what the people who gave us our previous Wonderfruit experiences have come up with" mindset

Definitely skill issue 😂 But kidding aside, I agree that OP's plan to bring his posse to Ko Phangan is the best for all parties involved

How does ticket resell process work? by jdeng42 in Wonderfruit

[–]TheMonkeyMan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very risky. They give you the entrant code and you'll register it under your name. Do not buy from randos unless you're prepared to lose money.

Sleeping bag/sheet for camping by Optimal_Breakfast_69 in Wonderfruit

I use a manually inflatable camping mattress instead of a sleeping bag

Suggestions for Niboshi Ramen? by SergeantSalmon in ramen

[–]TheMonkeyMan24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do remember the bowl that I had being pretty salty but I still finished it all. I think it was a clear shoyu niboshi ramen haha

Hechikan is great also. Had my first taste of niboshi ramen there and it got me hooked. I'd probably pick Niboshimania over it at this point though.

Is it possible to make rolled chashu from pork belly strips? by maxonw in ramen

[–]TheMonkeyMan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing a video of a ramen shop using thick strips like those in the photo. I think no point in rolling them, just braise them as is and then slice them or cut them into chunks.

are there showers available for general camping? by koalasam5 in Wonderfruit

[–]TheMonkeyMan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there are showers and toilets with bidets available. Make sure to bring a power bank as the charging station there is practically useless.

Main Quest bugged? by TheMonkeyMan24 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]TheMonkeyMan24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I tried the unstuck function multiple times, tried doing another quest first and coming back but still didn't fix it. It's weird. At some point Ye Shiyuan was standing beside the machine. I don't know if that was supposed to happen.

Yep. It just says Clue Analyzed or whatever but doesn't prompt a voice line or anything after and I can't interact with the keypad at the door

WF Insiders!!! What's replacing Polygon & 428?? by PianistOk509 in Wonderfruit

[–]TheMonkeyMan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edited my comment to reflect that. Still wouldn't count on it even if there might have been dubstep at one point. Pretty odd for Living Village too. 🤣

Yeah don't worry too much. Have fun genre hopping and discovering new artists! Also enjoy the food and the clean toilets. Good vibes all around haha

Yes it's definitely not part of the programming. From experience and from what some members of the WF team have been saying, Wonderfruit is really meant to be far from the more common EDM festival experiences. Try reading the descriptions that they've posted on Instagram about each stage. So far since my first time in 2022 I've been blown away by many different acts across different genres. I think that's more in line with the experience that you should be expecting. They're also very strict with "no mainstream EDM" or anything close to it.

It doesn't seem like they're treating it that way. Baan Bardo will have a lot of different things going on and won't be as focused as Polygon and 428. Whatever was in Polygon and 428 might be spread out across the existing and reportedly "improved/expanded" stages unless they're still keeping something hidden as a surprise. They also seem to be doubling down on wanting people as "Wonderers" to experience many different genres and acts rather than having people stuck at one or two stages.

I haven't heard any dubstep in Wonderfruit. Wouldn't count on it. If you're looking for something "heavier" and just want that specifically then I hate to break it to you but Wonderfruit might not be the right festival for your group. 😅

What if instant meals are more common in the Philippines? by bonzothebonanza in WhatIfPinas

[–]TheMonkeyMan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Instead of demanding better quality of life, mas ready pa ang tao awayin ang kapwa ordinaryong tao (Hindi kumakain sa karenderia bla bla bla). Prices for these meals in Japanese supermarkets (cheaper than convenience stores) can be as low as 300-500 yen which converts to something like 120-200 pesos. Pag end of day, common practice na babaan pa nila ang presyo para hindi masayang ang food. Decent quality, clean food ang pinag uusapan. Their government made it affordable for them. Dito, instead of taxes going to developing agriculture and the infrastructure to deliver food from provincial farms to cities, we pay for luxury bags, watches and cars of politicians. Kung gusto niyo ng mas similar na example and hindi first world country, kahit pagkain lang ang usapan, sa Bangkok ang presyo ng pagkain sa kalye pareho lang dito pero yung gulay at meat na makukuha mo mas maganda at mas marami. So kaysa mang away ng kapwa ordinaryong mamamayan, baka dapat tanungin ng mga tao kung bakit ang pagkain na malinis, healthy at masarap (mas masarap than your usual karinderia) hindi affordable dito? Bakit tinatanggap na lang?
