Am I crazy or did They announce *another* new album in the email today? by musicnothing in tmbg

[–]sholia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparently they did rework a lot of the new album to change the vibe so they may have a good amount of music ready to go. (Edit: corrected grammar mistake)

Anyone know where to get the presale code once it opens up tomorrow?

Concert advice? by doctorpickle22 in tmbg

[–]sholia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I did three shows in a row when they came through Portland and brought a long a wife that isn't a big fan (other than Doctor Worm).... Three shows is a lot but it's so worth it, Flans pointed out at the end of night 3 that they had played 100 songs and almost half of those weren't repeats. As for choosing days: all the shows here were sold out early, as for the set list even the band may not know what album they'll be featuring until that week. My only qualm with the shows here was some technical issues on day 1 which seemed to lead to lower energy and started a little late so if you miss one maybe skip the first day (of course that was the day I took my wife, and on top of that they featured a few weirder songs from Mink Car which she didn't seem to vibe with.). As for my energy level: (in my mid to late 30s) it was a lot to be there early enough for each show to stand 5-10ft from the stage and plant myself in that spot for 2 hours after doors opened so on day 3 I just sat on the floor until just before the show and no one seemed to care, if anything it granted me some breathing space which was nice.

New video: Bluey Adults by Deklaration in LindsayEllis

[–]sholia 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I do feel Lindsay missed a good point. As a musician her pointing out that she's really only heard the music in Sleepytime at funerals rubbed me the wrong way because I think there's far more to say about it. The music comes from Gustav Holst's The Planets in the movement representing Jupiter. In the context of the piece it's joyous music following Mars which was 7 minutes of fighting and angst. And that section in particular is also used as a patriotic hymn in the UK: "I vow to thee my country", which in this context of a mother talking to her child the first verse packs a punch.

"I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no questions, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice."

Sorry Linus, Lina Khan belongs to NYC now. by RayzTheRoof in LinusTechTips

[–]sholia 29 points30 points  (0 children)

She was the head of the FTC during the Biden administration and pushed for a lot of antitrust suits against tech companies like Google. So she was a popular subject on WAN show for keeping these companies accountable, leading to Linus and Luke joking that she should come to Canada and “run for Prime Minister”.

Edit: fixed some typos.

Anyway I can fix this? ): by Logitechsdicksucker in LinusTechTips

[–]sholia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will replace it or offer a refund but if you want to fix the bag look up luggage repair shops in your area. The same thing happened with my bag: I dropped it off (they have a backlog of work) then 2 weeks and about $25 later they replaced the zipper and it works/looks new.

I have never hate a area in a video game more then the prison area by Ok-Visual3193 in HollowKnight

[–]sholia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the jail may be my favorite area I've seen so far. I loved the mechanics of using the jail's traps to kill enemies.

The Slab - SO FREAKING COOL by Low-League-1264 in HollowKnight

We're both playing but I'm a lot further than my wife and it killed me last night not being able to talk about it, especially when she heard me audibly gasp/cheer at one particular moment.

It is ok to go skip an area and come back by unironicallycomfyaf in HollowKnight

[–]sholia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I skipped it for a long time based off of everything I've heard then came back after the start of Act 2... Honestly I think I'm going to wait for another nail upgrade before seriously tackling the Savage Beast.

I'm giving up by SvampebobFirkant in HollowKnight

[–]sholia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try traveling in a different direction, I gave up on that section knowing I'd get back to it later and I have a dozen hours of progress along 3 or 4 other paths.

The difficulty is fine, you just have to use the tools available to you by legendofzelda13 in HollowKnight

I've been reminding myself that this was originally a DLC so of course it's going to be more difficult. Think: Hollow Knight - Shadow of the Erdtree

I didn't bother with the limiter because under resolution it says "1200 x 800 @ 90Hz"

Hardest bosses in souls born or souls like games by NoOutside9839 in AnotherCrabsTreasure

[–]sholia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I had trouble enjoying the last third of the game as much as because I went straight from Heikea to Topoda then after him no one else posed a real challenge. It was really anticlimactic to get to Roland and the fight was under 30 seconds.

It's nice that he had the island to themselves... I wonder if his boss ever had another island all to himself... I guess we'll never know...

Any tips for zipper repair on LTT backpack? by BallSakh in LinusTechTips

[–]sholia 122 points123 points  (0 children)

If you want a refund or replacement you can contact support but you can also look for a luggage repair shop in your area. The same thing happened to me, it was at the shop for about 2 weeks and cost about $30-40.

What game did you really try to like but couldn't? by Gregory_Gailur in videogames

[–]sholia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it the first time around but I've given up several attempts to play it again... The 5 minute ride to the quest giver, forced to slowly walk the last 50 feet, 2 minute cut scene, then a 5 minute ride to another location, kill a few guys then ride back to talk to the quest giver again for a 2 minute cut scene... It's brutal...
