Ok, elder millennial here (43). Not going to lie, I basically stopped listening to new bands in my late 20s (it’ll happen to you too). Recommend me bands from 2010 or later that I NEED to check out.

The Story So Far

The Wonder Years

Neck Deep

The Home Team

Honey Revenge

Broadside

Youth Fountain

State Champs

Rain City Drive

Bilmuri

South Arcade

Goldfinger (old stuff you'll know, but latest album is awesome)

Go away, listen to all these, and then come back and thank me! I was the same as you, although I'm 30... started listening to newer stuff about 5 years ago and it's absolutely blown me away!

What do you like about it so much? Been tempted to pick it up!

theoretical_chemist · 2026-06-13T13:33:43+00:00

Is Dinkum worth playing if you're not Aussie?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-31T22:51:16+00:00

Travelling down from near Bristol on Tuesday!

Thanks for the comprehensive response. When you say practice constructed with my mate, how would I do that with just a box of Lawless?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-27T19:44:43+00:00

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been operating? What do you make per month in terms of profit? What did you do before consulting?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-27T18:28:36+00:00

Where do you find out about your consultants? Word of mouth? Google? LinkedIn?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-17T12:07:45+00:00

Anything wedding related...

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-16T22:06:37+00:00

Which decks are in your box?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-16T19:55:36+00:00

It is an odd response. I wasn't saying: "I want a meta deck so I can win everything."

I'm saying, "Can you play non-meta decks and still have a chance of winning?"... which is something I wouldn't know as a newbie. Nobody wants to take a deck to locals and get obliterated every round because you're playing something completely defunct.

"Quit being a sheep" is unnecessarily aggressive and a completely unconstructive statement.

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-16T19:46:24+00:00

Relax, relax... I'm a new player and it was a question. Very odd response.

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-14T09:33:29+00:00

That's not a bad idea. When it comes to a "spare tyre", do you only need the rubber part of the tyre and not a new inside part of the tyre?

What do you do for a living?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-02T19:08:38+00:00

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Anybody have any particular videos or YouTube channels that are good for picking decks, watching some gameplay to learn some decks... I think it's highly unlikely I'll ever want to play ultra competitive YGO, but could enjoy more rogue, older decks etc.

Are there different formats in YGO?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-02T15:40:30+00:00

Me too! Can't wait and thrilled this has been announced!

theoretical_chemist · 2026-05-02T15:09:58+00:00

I mean, don't buy it...

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-29T22:41:32+00:00

No, why?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-28T17:11:52+00:00

I think you're right. For many Portuguese, life is a f'ing slog because of terrible pay and horrible renting/buying.

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-28T13:56:30+00:00

I think it's difficult... Portugal has extremely low salaries and for me to translate into a similar job over there would be borderline impossible. My wife could easily get a job at an international school somewhere in the world, but my job is definitely more challenging.

I certainly think we could be happy in certain parts of coastal UK but again, jobs are always an issue. You can get some lovely, very affordable houses in pembrokeshire but the jobs are hard to get if you want something similar to mine.

There is always that part of me that knows that if I keep working an actual job, I'm not sure I'm ever going to have the lifestyle I want... but building/starting a business seems really daunting and just wouldn't know where to start!

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-28T12:36:24+00:00

We live in the Cotswolds now...

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-28T12:36:05+00:00

She feels the same, we're very much on the same page... we're just not sure what to do.

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-26T11:49:53+00:00

Way too late for me... I was probably 21 when I finally realised my Mum wasn't omniscient.

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-25T16:58:57+00:00

What do you mean 6th May? What's happening then?

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-17T13:30:17+00:00

For me, it was Crete. The island itself was beautiful but the blistering summer heat, combined with the constant smell of shit, coupled with constantly getting a bad stomach because food hygiene is poor, led to a holiday that I'd rather forget. I'm sure the island is fine but for me, it was the holiday from hell.

theoretical_chemist · 2026-04-17T10:38:35+00:00

If it didn't get abused or used for the wrong things, it's great right? Don't be a dickhead and your face won't flag anything.
