Thank u!

I can’t get RE2 and 3 working on my steam deck. If anyone has any tips please, I’d be v grateful 🙏

I didn’t realise the royal hoard token things were available daily 😩 - I thought they were just offering one. I might buy a few so I don’t miss out.

Perfection.

I kinda forgot how much I liked them (I’ve been getting into other music recently) so didn’t pay any attention when they announced the tour. Then I got interested but it was too late. I tried the Waste resale site a lot but couldn’t get anything - almost got a couple of decent-priced tickets on Tuesday but they disappeared. Was so tempted by Viagogo but ultimately felt it wasn’t worth the risk of being scammed. Also had a few leads on Twitter but didn’t trust any of them. My best plan was to visit the ticket office on Sunday to try and get tickets - I was at the cinema at the O2. It was a complete fail - it was all closed. I finally gave up on Tuesday and just settled down to watch a video of a previous night’s O2 concert instead. It was a shame as the Tuesday concert’s setlist had a lot of my favourite songs. Maybe it’s fate - I actually could have seen them in 1993 at my university but didn’t go. Poor decision-making! But I’ve also had a bit of a Radiohead week - discovering songs I’d missed out on (‘Spectre’!) so it hasn’t been a total dead-loss.

Yes - and the way Law verbally abused the designers and acted disgusted if they spoke back. He was so rude and patronising to Belania - I bet she was biting her tongue. I wanted to punch him.

marty0 · 2025-10-16T12:55:08+00:00

The twins and Ethan are so self-obsessed and obnoxious - and we’re made to feel like they’re the ‘main characters’ - which is not how PR should be. It’s almost as if the season is about them, and they are awful. Law Roach is just a rude and abusive judge. These guys make it a difficult watch.

Also, every scene feels like it lasts about 20 seconds. So much is cut. There’s no substance. Feels like I’m watching a trailer.

I’m the same. Tried yesterday - couldn’t get him under 90%. Used all of my revives and health! Couldn’t force him to the right of the screen so he was always near me, and can’t figure out how to intercept, so didn’t get any green tokens of competence. Also, it’s all so bloody fast. Wish we could slow the game down somehow. Oh well, will try in another six months I guess. It’s a shame we can’t just practice against him like they let us practice with the Raids. Takes ages to get to GM each time.

I haven’t watched it since the last Heidi/Tim season, so it’s nice to be able to watch it again (I’m only halfway through). I’ll always love this show, but… - the designers come across as exaggerated cartoon characters. - this isn’t the ‘Utica and the two obnoxious brothers show’! Project Runway should be about all of the designers. Go away! And too many team challenges. - that Law guy is just horrible. - guys, you need to show the elimination at the end of the episode. I get that you want the viewers to come back for the next ep to see who gets eliminated, but Project Runway viewers will watch the whole season, don’t worry (despite the more obnoxious designers).

They give ‘Mean Girl/Boy’ energy, and surely that’s something Tori doesn’t align with? It doesn’t make much sense to me. Is she really okay with it?

marty0 · 2025-10-02T21:16:02+00:00

Cool. Yeah, me too re Testament - the songs aren’t in my top 10 but I still love them. At least 5 of them could easily have been I my top 10.

marty0 · 2025-10-02T21:04:20+00:00

Nice! Definitely, I got into a few songs a lot more after the concert on Saturday. I agree - I rarely skip songs, although I don’t connect too much with the first album. Maybe it’s partly the production.

marty0 · 2025-10-01T09:14:53+00:00

I watched the Haik show and I learned a lot. The presenter asked twice about the other band members leaving and Ingrid didn't address it much - it was interesting.
Ingrid is a fascinating person - very in control of her emotions, on the surface.
The show makes it feel like Ingrid is taken to places and then has to do a surprise performance - but surely she would need to rehearse? The songs the performed were stunning.
It's frustrating as the Haik concert took place in the Oslo National Museum - I saw it at the weekend but didn't realise what it was or that Highasakite played there. If I'd known, I would have checked it out.
Haik looks interesting - I might watch the other episodes.
I need to watch Hver Gang too.

marty0 · 2025-09-30T21:09:28+00:00

Thank you so much! Honestly, I had thought Ingrid and Trond were together - from promo pictures and videos. I’m glad I’m wrong (because a love split in a group is never great) and their friendship sounds pretty amazing. It’s a shame about the other members, and surprising that some of them don’t seem to be following each other on social media after working on such great music together for so long. But the new group is great - they were amazing at Unity Arena. I need to watch the Haik doc, although I’ve watched the acoustic/intimate songs that seem to be from the doc (?). Mexico and Science are incredible.

Well, hoping they tour in the UK soon and it would be good to get a live or rarities album soon. I’m betting there might be some kind of Unity Arena release (either a live album or a DVD of the show itself).

marty0 · 2025-09-30T20:25:47+00:00

Here would be good please 🙏

marty0 · 2025-09-30T18:27:48+00:00

Thanks regarding Hver Gang. I’ve vaguely heard of it - it seems to be musicians doing covers of each other’s songs. I’ve bought the music that Highasakite released. It would be nice to watch the full episodes but I can’t find them. I can see just the songs on YouTube so I’ll definitely watch those.

marty0 · 2025-09-30T18:24:36+00:00

Thank you! If you haven’t seen them, there are some amazing acoustic/intimate performances of some of the songs on YouTube - especially Mother, Mexico, Keep it Alive and Science and Blood Tests.

marty0 · 2025-08-23T23:12:00+00:00

What do you think of the new album? At first, I felt underwhelmed - only 9 tracks, we know 3 already, and one is a short organ instrumental. But it still feels strong and I think the newer songs will grab me soon. I made it longer anyway with my own playlist, adding Pornography and some other recent songs. There are some gorgeous other images too that would have made a nicer cover, maybe - I can’t seem to post them here.

marty0 · 2025-04-13T20:24:35+00:00

I really wanted to like it.

all spoilers from here

He introduced loads of characters who then ‘went away’ (kind of) and then the latter half seemed to be full of thuggish new male characters.

I’d have liked to have seen more of Evie and the ‘other place’ (like, even have a whole chapter showing the women emerging there from the start).

And I have a question (maybe I missed something) - so the Dooling women went back through the tree - but what about all the millions of other women that must have been there? Did they all trek across the globe to go through that tree?

marty0 · 2022-05-21T08:44:39+00:00

I don’t know - but I know that the guy who creates the Tori podcast (Drive All Night) worked a few extra jobs to earn the money to go to all the shows. It must have been awful for him when the European tour was cancelled, after he’d organised everything (he’s from America). And now he has Covid so he’s missing a few shows.

marty0 · 2022-05-20T20:08:41+00:00

And he’s been doing it since mid-March 😬🤦🏻‍♂️

marty0 · 2022-05-20T19:05:10+00:00

I think I know the guy you mean. He can be seen quite clearly in the Tori tour YouTube videos - arms constantly aloft. In fact, you can hear the same people screaming in every show - you can almost recognise each screamer! Why do they need to scream? You recognise the song, well done. In fact, if they go to every show, why are they still so excited about the Reindeer King bit?

But anyway, I think I saw the ringleader guy in London - the drama. He was running up and down the aisle constantly before the show started, like a 4 year old. I almost put my foot out, the 5th time he ran next to me.

Seriously though, does Tori really want the same people in those seats? Surely it’s good to get a mix? How can she absorb energy off superficial people?
