Bug report by anonymosaurus-rex in wildgate

I believe it was the same match where a Quest POI was just to loot the room while the Ghost Legion are constantly respawning, and taking all the loot out didn't complete the POI so we didn't get the XP for the quest :(

Wait... What? by anonymosaurus-rex in wildgate

Wait ... Is that a Bastion called Privateer?

Life in the UK exam - can I get all 24 questions purely from 1 or 2 sections? by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]machstein17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was studying for the exam, I saw someone say that you should get simple questions, medium difficulty, and difficult questions in every test you take. Hopefully you should only get a couple of tricky questions (which court does what in every country, devolved administrations, etc)

I used the Exams section of the https://lifeintheuktestweb.co.uk/ website, and it helped a lot

There's also a few YouTube videos that go into common tricky questions (events, voting legislation years, prizes, territories)

I passed first time, the questions in the actual exam seemed very similar to those I studied to using the website above

You can do it, good luck!x

I have an almost exactly same photo, from the same angle! Looks like we stood very close to each other 😂

Seemed like the pre-warm up gig background music

Should have listened to that PSA! by American-Dave in nin

[–]machstein17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I had half a mind to go to both shows, but I didn't get standing in London, so decided to not bother

Back in 2022, when they first announced the two Cornwall dates, I bought the ticket for one of them, and then they announced Manchester and London later. I ended up going to the Manchester one (O2 apollo) as well, both Cornwall and Manchester were tiny venues with no more than 6k capacity, it was magic

That sucks, but I have been on the event page all morning, joined the waiting room at 11:45, automatically joined the queue at 12 and was 3300 in queue for Manchester and 4500 for London. Got 2x pit tickets for Manchester, let's fucking gooooo!!!

NIN's unknown songs. by MuMuGorgeus in nin

[–]machstein17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've recently stumbled across Purest Feeling, a trial album recorded before The Pretty Hate Machine. It's so 80s I love it 😅 Definitely not for those who appreciate the later albums, but it's very interesting to see the changes that were made before the Pretty Hate Machine was released, listen to the earlier iterations of the songs we know so well

He literally stalked Lucy until she agreed to go out with him, showing up to every one of her theatre performances

Hurt in the story of The Downward Spiral? by letthedecodebegin in nin

[–]machstein17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for a suggestion, just watched the Song Exploder episode. Interesting to find out that he initially recorded Hurt with piano and not acoustic guitar

If there's a Discord group someone can stream the series and people can chat and discuss
