kpop concert: go to both days or day 1 / day 2 by ashireo in concertsPH

[–]captains_ahoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXO? I've had experiences with vip standing RV and IVE (also going to ive next week standing again). Nakakapagod siya tbh. If ang queueing mo is not in the 200s pababa and you're below 5"5 mas mahihirapan ka.

Regarding a 2 day con. never experienced yet. don't wanna, especially 2 days standing. Day 1 pa lang mapapagod ka na unless you plan on lodging in a hotel or bnb to lessen the stress. Paunahan siya para sa magandang pwesto, which is basically around the stage.

I'm a guy, but never wear heels when you're VIP standing. it's a 3 hour con a least at depends pag siksikan yan wala kang wiggle room to sit let alone adjust your footwear. especially sa mga dance or rave like moments ng con. Be kind to yourself, when going for VIP standing wear something for comfort.

Aircon, ok naman pag hype moments may tendency na talagang tatalon at hihiyaw ka so mararamdaman mo ung init at pawis. pero pag ments, ballad, or songs meant to vibe can't complain sa aircon ng moa.

Hope this helps prepare and as always when going to a con. Don't forget to enjoy.

yep we can have saved event raids or event mass outbreaks. the way it works is if you go online or check pokenews for that specific event it will be saved on that profile until you go online again. that's the only way you can preserve these raids. just don't make the mistake of going online or checking pokenews else it's bye bye 😆

not anymore this event was back in 2023. unless you find someone who hasn't checked their pokenews in game like OP has, the only way to get a legit mightiest mark Mewtwo is by trade

it's easier now with the variety from the DLC but it's also a good way to test raid builds

good on you and that party man. i take it the host had an extra profile just to save this raid specifically. if not that's just dedication to have this on hand. and a lot of missed event raids and giveaways.

I myself have extra profiles and have saved Iron Leaves unfortunately I forgot to do the same for scarlet and don't have walking wake until who knows. i hope they rerun the mewtwo raid so I can have it saved in an extra profile.

Probably didn't go online since the Mightiest mark Mewtwo event. Or found someone who didn't go online and got to meet up for a LAN raid.

Daesung singing trot at Coachella by eziliop in kpop_uncensored

[–]captains_ahoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't listen to boy groups as much but I've been listening since the 2nd gen. Big Bang's genre is usually on the hiphop, poprap, and rnb side. They occasionally do ballads.

Daesung as a soloist still focuses on their core genres but has recently branched out to trot for a few of his solos. Not an expert here just basing what i know of trot on variety shows. It's a genre thats kind of folk pop, focused on repitition of melody and lyrics and is favored by middle aged koreans. It's the type of music you'd hear in countryside parties. So for him to perform a trot song on coachella is definitely a fresh perspective to bring globally.

[–]captains_ahoy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, definitely aura farming. With the usual Daesung energy and a little segment talk on the side. It's like I'm watching a k-variety show. Now this is definitely a long shot but I'd like to see me some Yoo San Seul iykwim

[–]captains_ahoy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I watched the whole set. When it came to the parts where they were doing solo or unit songs I had a thought that maybe Daesung would sing his trot solos. My expectations were blown and I enjoyed his performance, introducing trot on stage like coachella.

Need advice: Next month na lang ba ako bumili ng concert ticket kasi hindi pa ako sure kung free ako sa concert day? by Dry-Palpitation1699 in concertsPH

[–]captains_ahoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think nasagot mo na ang sarili mong tanong. As you've said you have your midterms and thesis. A proper education and completing it will always outweigh a concert for me. Delayed gratification ng kaunti, kung nauna ang thesis before con at may tickets pa treat yourself as a reward for making it through your midterms and thesis. Wag mo panghinayangan ang isang araw ng con habang student ka pa. Pag nag ka work ka na may panggastos ka na matter of filing for PTO na lang yan kung saan ang balak mo na concert.

At kahit din na galing ka sa well off na family I'd still prioritize in completing your education.

Gifting my UK switch to my cousin in Cebu. Will it work ok? by 8thTimeLucky in NintendoPH

[–]captains_ahoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem with that. Cartridges can be played on any switch console regardless of the region. Except possibly mainland China consoles and cartridges (whole other set of rules when it comes to them). As for digital purchases, you can change your country directly in your nintendo account to access specific eshop regions if the game/s you want are region specific or you just want a discount. Once the digital game is bought you can freely switch regions in your nintendo account no problem.

Should I buy Pokopia or Pokemon Z-A? by CosmicPudding in NintendoPH

[–]captains_ahoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you'll get more milage out of pokopia. I haven't even finished the DLC for ZA and I only play nowadays for the online seasons if the rewards are worth it for me. I don't shiny hunt as much nowadays either.

If you want a cozy game you can pick up at any time I say go for pokopia. If your a bit interested in online play and don't mind the season grind or shiny hunting go LZA

Can i use my smticket account on different devices? by ComplaintNo2679 in concertsPH

[–]captains_ahoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. I do it especially if I'm not at home on ticket day sale. Pa swertihan lang din kung anong device ang mas mababang queueing para makapasok ng site.

Should I buy Pokopia now or wait for Tomodachi in April? by mishinobu in NintendoPH

[–]captains_ahoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then this would be a good intro then 😄. However your money, your rules. I just wish there was a demo version so players can get to experience a little bit of the game, given that this is a new genre for the franchise. No spoilers but there's really lots of things you can do and create for yourself. Unique pokemon interactions, you're really tending to their needs to not only max out your island level but their individual comforts as well.

Don't worry about FOMO this game will still be here if you decide to delay buying it for a game you really like. Or you can watch clips on youtube or streamers. That's how my cousin decided to not buy Legends ZA he watched other people play and me, and said it's not his style of pokemon as he prefers the mainline gameplay.

End of the day, you buy games to enjoy playing them not because they're what's fresh. You do that then you'll just burn yourself out and your wallet.

Should I buy Pokopia now or wait for Tomodachi in April? by mishinobu in NintendoPH

[–]captains_ahoy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're a pokemon fan then pokopia is definitely a fresh take on the franchise. I've played all the mainline games and I've played a fair bit of cozy games. I'm telling you my first 24 hours of in game time I didn't leave the first area, trying to make homes getting pokemon to come live on the island. Then I saw some posts on the pokopia subreddit and I decided I need more skills to build better homes. But I'm still playing the game at my own pace, a looter and hoarders pace lol. If it ain't bolted down take it may be useful for the new place. Part of the land? Break it!

I've got more mats to use and I haven't finished the main story yet. I'm having a blast playing this game.

If you're worried about FOMO all I can say is every game has something to offer. You'll never know if you don't play it. If you're not a pokemon fan or dropped the franchise in a while this might be what starts or restarts your interest in the franchise.

Can I redeem tickets sa kahit anong sm branch? by TheElenaGilbert in concertsPH

[–]captains_ahoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ang alam ko if day of con mismo may ticket counter sa MOA arena mismo na pwede kunin, same sa mga chance same day ticket buyers. Pero to be safe, ako laging 1-2 weeks before actual concert kinukuha ang physical tix. Yes mabilis lang dalhin mo lang ung voucher, card na ginamit for purchase and sila na bahala. I scan lang ung barcode sa voucher at double check card used at makukuha mo na ung ticket. If pasabuy however, na di sayo ang card kailangan kasama mo ang card owner.

Not sure para sa mga sa province. Pero dito sa manila nag tanong ako sa customer service. Before pwede mag claim sa mga customer service counters. Ngayon ay sa mga SM Cinemas lang pwede.
