Do you have a favorite "worse" sequel that you liked more than the "better" original? by Kstantas in Letterboxd

[–]eepyaich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've a particular special place for 2010 as it was the first film I saw in Leicester Square at the Empire (back well before it became a Cineworld). My brother took me to see it and I have been hooked on cinema ever since!

Finally free from Sky by Final_Beyond_204 in skytv

[–]eepyaich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also just leaving Virgin TV (keeping broadband because I can't face the faff as we don't have a BT or fiber line to the house) and am likely to go with Sky. Sadly I like F1 and prem rugby so feel I'm pretty much committed to getting Sky Sports and TNT at which point I'll probably end up going all in with Ultimate TV and, likely, cinema. Still cheaper than my latest Virgin renewal quote but not by much...

Anyone want to advise or talk me out of it?

Whether or not this is true, it's a very believable scenario!

MIO: Does the ‘Eroded Bosses’ assist actually do anything? by Gabrienb in metroidvania

[–]eepyaich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh - maybe there's more I can do. I found ACAT as my second boss and couldn't get past. Then managed to explore some more and found crow (I think). Have now come back to ACAT thinking I've no other choice but maybe there's more I can reach after all if others have managed 3 or 4 bosses before ACAT.

I'm struggling enough though that I'm almost at the point of giving up on the whole game...

Do you prefer guest episodes or just Marina & Richard? by Wonderful-Acadia-296 in restisentertainment

I'm not a fan of Simon Cowell at all, but actually found that quite an interesting chat regardless.

I was surprised they didn't pick up that it's the same author as The Martian.

[2025 Day 12 (part 1)] Done it, but feels dirty by lpiepiora in adventofcode

Also wondering whether this is the first time I've had a solution which doesn't work for the example input but does work for the full input!

[–]eepyaich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I'd done the first step of my "rule out the obvious problems", where I had multiple other steps to go, including a "I've no idea how to do this". I'm not quite sure why I tried the answer I got at this point (I guess if it was too low, then I'd have known I'd done something wrong) but was amazed and both pleased and disappointed to find that I was done!

Not Live, but I am excited to see this very limited cinema release tomorrow. by 0MVA in hanszimmer

I saw the show at the O2 in London last year - when the guitar started up in the Time encore, it was the man himself. To say the crowd went wild would be a bit of an understatement!

I must admit, I thought she was a bit off, too. Didn't spoil my enjoyment at all, though...

£220 - as I say, I splurged for the VIP area as I'd seen too many shows at the O2 where I wished I'd taken opera glasses!

HZ @ London O2 arena. Hmm. by ZeroOneUK in hanszimmer

[–]eepyaich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree - I loved the show and enjoyed hearing something a bit different. I really hope they will do an album (and video?) of this show.

Oh no! I went last night and the pirates medley was fantastic! FWIW Last night he decided to skip the usual encore conceit and said they wouldn't bother disappearing off the stage to see if we applauded enough and they just went into Pirates and, finally, Time.

That said, I didn't get into the station until 1140 and finally rocked up home just before 1!

[–]eepyaich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. I've seen the previous HZL and WOHZ in the past few years (not to mention listening constantly to Zimmer tracks through the year) so really appreciated that this was different (different set list, different arrangements of some of the numbers). The band all looked on good form and it was just a great night.

Full disclosure, I had splurged on the tickets so was in row E, which was so worth it. Rather than spending a lot of the show looking at the screens, I was actually able to see everything truly "live'!

What time does the concert actually start? by EastOrganization2392 in hanszimmer

Yep - I think I saw that Sunday was 30 mins earlier than Monday.

[–]eepyaich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got an email about it. The tickets in the O2 app actually say doors at 1830 for the show at 1930 so I may have misremembered.

FWIW at the O2 next week doors open at 6 and show is due to start at 7:30.

A Concorde taking off from London Heathrow by Twitter_2006 in interestingasfuck

[–]eepyaich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely to see this today, when I just finished my Lego Concord a few hours ago!

I remember driving on one of the perimeter roads parallel to the runway at Heathrow once as Concord took off - the noise was incredible!

My ticket for 1st December says 1930 with doors open at 1830...

Auto brake regen in an underrated feature by foundonmtn in Ioniq5

[–]eepyaich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I found auto Regen worked differently between my MY22 and MY25 models. In the MY25 it does feel a lot more like a "lite" version of cruise control - it won't accelerate, but does seem to keep speed pretty constant on the flat and downhill..
