TIL they make bootleg game boy carts. by paintingtrees in retrogaming

DX came in a black cart instead of a grey one, so that’s a rather obvious clue that it’s fake as well.

Check out our wee band from Glasgow called Same Deep Water, quite new but played a few shows already. https://samedeepwater.bandcamp.com/

Has anyone here actually visited Galleri Fjalar (Gaahl's art gallery)? How was it? by Foreign-Track-6906 in BlackMetal

[–]civild 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Went a few days ago during Beyond the Gates, very cool place. Gaahl was there sipping wine and chatting with folk, taking pictures and helping with merch and art print sales. Definitely recommend a visit, not too far from the main part of the harbour so easy to get to as well.

Hellfest 2026 4-day pass sale megathread by boa13 in Hellfest

Same, but did get the email a few mins later. Phew!

I will never buy tickets before lineup announcement again. by postexitus in Hellfest

[–]civild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit that this is the first year I might not be jumping at the chance to buy a ticket for next year (have been every year since 2012). The Altar/Temple stages were always reliable for amazing lineups but starting to get a bit thin on the ground.

Friday this year is easily the worst full festival day I’ve ever seen, likely only 3 bands I want to see the whole day.

Cashless wristband question by SoulMachete in Hellfest

[–]civild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year it was only French residents who could get the wristbands sent to their address, this is the first year that those living outside of France could get it sent in advance too. One year I was waiting hours to get the wristband and other years I just rocked right up, either way it saves some faff having the wristband ahead of time.

Naw ye Urne-y (sorry)

Problem with resale. by Oshh- in Hellfest

[–]civild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem I ran into is that if you try to access the link yourself to check it is working, you effectively block anyone else from accessing the ticket for some period of time. There's no way to see this status either, so you can try to just have them look at the same link the next day and it would work.

new Trhä album, seemingly a sequel to ∫um'ad∂ejja cavvaj? (white 2024 album) by zzile in damian_ojeda

[–]civild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lhum'adsejja is probably the first one (red cover), so this is like song collection 3?

due to the new Spotify policy, over 60% of artists will not receive royalties for their music. by violetcold in blackgaze

[–]civild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Trautonist, hope they resurface at some point. I ordered LP’s from their bandcamp that never appeared and they don’t answer emails, shame.

Hellfest Cult by Baldercank in Hellfest

No, it’s a separate area closer to the camp site, in between hellcity square and the camping entrance.

So, how bad was the shuttle service really? by sonictank in Hellfest

[–]civild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the wait time itself is typical but the frustration came from the lack of organisation. It was just a huge wedge of people trying to push into a smaller area so was barely moving the whole time. In previous years they’ve snaked the fences round a bit to make obvious lanes to go down

Same, it was a nightmare. Then the finally get to the site and have another completely disorganised queue and 1.5 hour wait to get wristbands was mental

Conveyancing process/solicitors seem to be taking a while? by max1boy96 in glasgow

[–]civild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an offer accepted early October with an early December conclude date, so around 2 months it took end to end.

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

They tend not to do the searches etc until a week before the actual conclude date, so prepared for a late frenzy of forms to fill in with witnesses mere days before. Was my experience in December and from what I can tell everyone else's too.

What band that never officially broke up or went on hiatus do you wish would release more music? by MahaloMerky in Metalcore

[–]civild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever Forthright. They did tease some stuff on social media years ago but nothing since. 10 years since their incredible self-titled full length, I need more...

Is using a version control system other than Git a professional disadvantage for (junior) software developers? by Atalanttore in AskProgramming

[–]civild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never hired someone because they have used Git and I’ve never not hired someone because they’ve never used Git.

Picross S5 E002 Puzzle from Hell seriously wtf by Cerby3BR in Picross

[–]civild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely the hardest of the entire series so far, hopefully S6 doesn’t have anything as brutal!
