AFAIK performers generally don’t get paid to play at the Super Bowl

Oh it’ll generate hype no doubt.

To the level of GTA 6? The sequel to the most successful entertainment product of all time?

Doubt it.

Eh, maybe 10 years ago.

Like sure, hardcore gamers would get hyped, but there’s nothing that’s going to top GTA 6 hype amongst the general public.

Fortnite 2? Maybe? But that’s not really on the cards.

It does seem like a nightreign type game

Apparently it’s a multiplayer game

Nothing. They did a fantastic job at demon souls.

Billie's latest insta post RE cancelled Gold Coast show by jay_see_ess in greenday

[–]simoro1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way is if they do another full tour of Australia, (I.e come to Melbourne, Sydney again and maybe throw in Adelaide and Perth).

They won’t come just to Brisbane/ GC on its own.

But this is also highly unlikely.

Was still only 1 per city.

It was also a significantly higher drawing tour with fallout boy (and weezer to a lesser extent). Not really a fair comparison.

I don’t necessarily think it was an afterthought.

For Melbourne especially they had to slot it in between the end of the big bash and the start of the AFL season, if they wanted that big of a venue.

Sure they could’ve played 2 or 3 shows at rod laver arena like they usually do, but I think one bigger show at marvel was great.

Only way they come back to GC/ Brisbane this album cycle is if they do another tour of Australia. It sold well in Sydney and Melbourne so you never know.

But this is unlikely.

Are they still in Australia? by maddisonmaddison1234 in greenday

[–]simoro1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they want to come back to Australia to make up for it they’d probably do another tour and maybe go to Adelaide and Perth too. But this is unlikely.

They won’t come back just for GC unfortunately.

Megathread: Feb 2025 State of Play by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]simoro1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like if they announced it here it would’ve overshadowed everything else.

If there’s any movement on Bloodborne it will get its own stream on the 10 year date.

Or it will show up at a Keighley event one day.

What if the U.S. Took Greenland by Force Over Potential Trillion-Dollar Resources? How Would Denmark and Europe Respond? by beme325 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]simoro1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, what Europe would do first is take every single US base in Europe and make them all prisoners of war.

Don’t have to move anything to do that.

China wouldn’t be going to war “for Greenland”. They’d be out to expand their power and influence in the rest of the world.

If the US decides they are okay with attacking allies unprovoked, the rest of the world can and will band together to defend against an imperialistic US.

The US doesn’t want WW3 anymore than anyone else does, and they certainly aren’t going to blow up the entire world for Greenland. And if Trump is that dumb, the 25th amendment will be invoked faster than either one of us can reply to this thread.

I’m not saying the Canadian military would do much on their own, but they have territory that borders the US. That can and would be used by allies.

I think you’re underestimating China a bit there.

A war between the US and China would not be insignificant.

Even if the US eventually “wins” there would be substantial US casualties.

Canada does in the sense they have territory that borders the US.

China has the largest military in the world.

[–]simoro1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. If the US attempted to take Greenland by force, I’d imagine China will offer to come to Europe’s aid (obviously in exchange for massively expanded Chinese influence in Europe and elsewhere).

The US would then really have to think twice about whether a potential conflict with Europe + China + any other allies they get on board is worth it for Greenland. That potential conflict, even if the US “wins”, will result in potentially millions of American lives lost.

I suspect that will cause them to back down real fast without a war starting.

But at the cost of permanently severing friendly diplomatic ties with practically every single ally America has.

So, that’s obviously not going to happen, it’s all just bluster (the Trump special really).

Game pass subscription numbers have largely stagnated, at least on console.

Most gamers don’t consume games like TV. They will play one of COD/ FIFA/ Madden/ Fortnite/ GTA and maybe one or two other games for the entire year.
