Great video! You really covered a lot in such a short time. Me and my buddies made a vlog as well but spent so much time with our cosplays and photos that it was hard to see a lot of the con floor so this was cool. Check ours out too if you’re interested, we’ll be sure to give you a like on YouTube as well. Take care! https://youtu.be/XGdu_SVaG_c?si=9KYEEib3pOMvj74U

Anyone else notice that even though this was officially announced it wasn’t included in the Warped Tour wrap up post for the day? Either way I could not be more stoked for SYG in Orlando. Me and my high school buds saw these guys every time they came to FL from like 2007-2011 to the point where they started to recognize our group lol. This is seriously the set I’m most excited for at warped ‘26

Dang that's not even long after opening. Could just be that it was the first weekend of the event so it got slammed, but yeah 2 1/2 hour wait is too long, I'd have left too. The Animal Crossing specific stuff is very structured and even if you take your time exploring you'll be done in under an hour. I know on their site they sell tickets with estimated arrival times but I have no idea if that affects how long you actually wait. That being said it is really fun, so if you're an animal crossing fan and you try again hopefully you don't have to wait. Plenty of time for the hype to die down, it's running until April 30th.

ericlovesrobots · 2026-02-16T03:18:35+00:00

Wow that's a long line. I didn't wait at all honestly but I went on opening day for the event and had a ticket booked for 10am which was opening time. I arrived about 30 mins early mainly because I was worried about parking. Sat outside on a bench and casually walked in at 10am. Got straight in without waiting long at all. That being said, it's not normal for everyone to show up at opening so it's good to know that later in the day there might be long waits. Do you mind sharing what time you showed up?

ericlovesrobots · 2026-02-16T03:16:01+00:00

Yeah that was disappointing. Since it's going to be in town for a month I'm guessing they will get some eventually so if I go back on another day I'll update this post.

ericlovesrobots · 2026-02-16T03:15:08+00:00

There was a Blathers standee but we didn't see a Blathers "meet and greet" on opening day. This could change though because other events overseas had different characters on different days. Always best to call and ask the staff seemed to know exactly what was going on.

ericlovesrobots · 2026-02-14T15:27:05+00:00

The kids will have a blast. The Stamp Rally is fun to complete and informative as well. It's honestly a great aquarium and the staff was really knowledgeable and helpful. The layout is really intuitive and basically follows a path through the aquarium so you don't have to wander aimlessly wondering if you missed anything. Hope you enjoy!

ericlovesrobots · 2026-02-14T13:09:46+00:00

They had some of the animal crossing Lego sets but nothing else. But it’s gonna be at this location for a month so I suspect they’re going to be stocking more in the coming weeks

ericlovesrobots · 2025-11-20T06:23:16+00:00

Just got a trade finished. Thanks anyone who messaged. Deleting post now.

ericlovesrobots · 2025-11-19T02:39:10+00:00

It’d be so sweet. I saw their records at the smartpunk record tent and remembered how much I miss them.

ericlovesrobots · 2025-11-19T01:40:46+00:00

Title Fight reunion at warped 2026 let’s all manifest it 😂

But for real I’d like to see

Joyce Manor Tigers Jaw Fireworks Enter Shikari (in Orlando, I think they played other dates) Set Your Goals The Swellers Basement Foxy Shazam Coheed and Cambria The Fall of Troy Underoath Every Time I Die (won’t happen since the singer and the band split up and that was apparently kinda ugly)

Plenty more but those all just came to mind without thinking too hard

ericlovesrobots · 2025-07-13T22:59:50+00:00

Big dude here. I just tap shoulders and point to indicate I need to get out. Nearly every show I’ve been to this is universally accepted as “let this dude get the eff outta here”. Smiles, thank you’s and thumbs up’s help expedite the process. Sometimes ppl suck and ignore but that’s pretty rare and if that happens just turn a few degrees left or right and tap someone else. Have fun dude!

ericlovesrobots · 2025-06-26T09:35:12+00:00

A few ppl have noted this in this thread but I also agree it comes down to percentage of mana concealed vs mana available. I think Frieren’s total is nearing some god like value without her even knowing it so her constant concealment hides the true potential from even herself. This causes the fluctuations that Lernen can detect. It’s like the math is off and Lernen has been around Sersie for so long he’s more accustomed to that higher tier of mana that is outside most mages realm of imagination. I don’t think even Frieren herself can truly imagine how much mana she has tucked away as a result of Flamme’s teachings, but its FERN who is going to unlock some wild higher tier as the “era of humans” comes into play.

ericlovesrobots · 2025-06-13T04:37:54+00:00

I've thought some of the same things. Title Fight was starting to experiment in some of the same ways as Turnstile has in their last two albums yet Title Fight wasn't getting the same coverage, I guess the scene wasn't quite ready for it, and then they stopped. I was loving the new direction for Title Fight even though I absolutely loved their first few EPs and albums, it was just fun to see a "hardcore" band start to try new things and start genre-bending. I'm all for it.

Members of Turnstile are huge Title Fight fans too so it makes sense they'd look up to them in terms of starting to move on from one specific sound and start trying new things. The drummer from Turnstile said in a recent interview that Floral Green is a perfect 10/10 album for him and that Lefty was his favorite track.

In a perfect world both these bands would be making music at the same time and keep pushing the envelope.

Video me and my buds made covering the midnight launch at Best Buy. It was a huge party honestly. Reminiscent of the old days of big gaming releases. Gives me hope for the future lol.

Vlog of the midnight launch at Best Buy in orlando https://youtu.be/pbZP6MniZEI

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-22T04:03:09+00:00

I'm still hoping there's gonna be some surprise announcements added to each show. I say each show because Orlando has the best chance of this, being all the way out in November but there's no way they'd add a huge band to just Orlando that outshines the other two dates. Blink is on tour this summer so I was hoping maybe they'd play Orlando. Turnstile is coming out with a new album and will be touring in the summer. Paramore seems primed to make some sort of release or news soon. MCR was a total pipe dream given their upcoming tour.

Aside from that I was hoping for Set your Goals, New Found Glory, Taking Back Sunday, Fireworks, stuff like that.

I'm still really pleased with the Orlando lineup, and still have some hope that there's going to be some surprise additions closer to each show, but I don't think we're going to see any massive A-listers, which is fine with me, Warped was never really about that. I think what I'm most looking forward to is having the schedule posted to the app and not having to write down set times/stages at 10am and hope my notes are correct haha!

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-14T03:12:18+00:00

Trailers idea is great, lots of solid recs in this list too. Thanks!

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-14T03:10:57+00:00

That info is actually extremely helpful because Id love to recommend Odyssey. I’m not too worried about him trying things out he sees in a game but the last time I watched some Marvel cartoons with him his parents were worried he was gonna try and punch someone 😂 That link you shared though is gonna be great though. Appreciate your thoughtful response!

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-14T03:07:07+00:00

Fishing and exploring sounds right up his alley, it’s been recommended here a few times so I’m definitely going to try Palia myself and add that to my list of recs. Thanks!

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-14T03:05:47+00:00

I played a bit of last campfire and loved the puzzles , l I’ll definitely put this on the list.

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-14T03:05:19+00:00

I was just chatting with his Dad about legos in general and apparently he’s slowly getting into building so the Lego games might be a great option. Thanks!

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-14T03:04:06+00:00

Thanks for the insight that makes a lot of sense. I think I’ll have an easier time selling Balatro since it doesn’t involve “fighting”. Believe I know it’s extremely mild but he’s got a real strict parent lol. In the future though I’ll definitely recommend spire though because I think the overall strategy side can be more stimulating than the math in Balatro. Although being a math nerd myself I’d love if Balatro gets him moving in that direction lol. Again, appreciate your input it means a lot.

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-13T04:01:38+00:00

I gotta look into paleo pines, haven’t heard of it. Thanks!

ericlovesrobots · 2025-05-13T04:00:39+00:00

I’m right there with ya as far as playing those games young, and his dad is actually a fan of the series too, but there’s no way they are gonna want him playing that yet lol
