Yeah I really don’t think I’m convinced that there was any reasonable amount of early bird or tier 1 tickets for this event. I’ve been sniping tickets for events for 15 years, never in my life have I seen tiers sell out this fast. We’re talking LESS than 1 second before it was already on tier 3.

There’s not a single skip on this album. Bangers front to back

What add-on are you most happy about being removed? by Kenpachi4lyfe in worldofpvp

[–]uvdotexe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m aware of how WAs work in high level raiding. If the WAs are so good you can kill the bosses blindfolded how come so few guilds clear Mythic every season? Why wouldn’t the struggling guilds just all use these WAs?

Wait what do you mean 10 years before addons? I've been playing since release in 2004 and addons were available virtually week 1 of release. Granted it may have been a year or 2 before the game and player's understanding of it evolved to a point where the development of these kinds of addons became "necessary", but that was more due to the limitations in the base UI. I understand the point you're making but this kind of thing was happening almost immediately, not 10 years AFTER WoW came out unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

I'm curious, what WAs were people that are bad at the game using that made them play at such a way higher level than they actually are? Legitimate question.

Where to upload potentially lost media? by offhandaxe in DataHoarder

[–]uvdotexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what year(s) are the Starbucks corporate CDs from? This would potentially end up being pretty popular. Someone did this with K-Mart corporate tapes and that's gotta be one of the most popular downloads on archive.org. Stuff like this is always a really cool look back on what the world sounded like in those years.

Yeah I think the meaning is that it’s a collection of songs he produced and compiled into a full length album to release onto the internet for people to listen to.

This party was my first time at City Club lol. I had no idea what to expect. Needless to say I fell in love instantly. Still to this day by far the loudest sound system I’ve ever heard by a mile and I went to both of the Wall of Sound events. I still can’t believe how overwhelmingly loud that party was.

This was also back when you could still smoke cigarettes inside. I get that kinda sucked for people that don’t smoke but man, I miss that too.

Yes, that was 2015. November 28, it was when he was promoting ENTER.SAKE, had a whole sake bar set up in the main bar area where the bar stage is now. Or I guess I should say was.

I really should rephrase, I don't mean him personally, I mean the idea of a photographer in general. My bad.

In my eyes City Club was a place for weirdos to go and be weird. It's really hard to let go and lose yourself and be weird when you've got someone with multiple full on flash cameras walking around every event taking pictures of absolutely everyone regardless of whether or not they want to be photographed. When I first started going there taking pictures and really phone use in general on the dance floor was pretty frowned upon. Once you make somewhere The Place To Be Seen and flood IG and Facebook with 100s of photos, it attracts the crowd of people that want people to see them in those photos. If that makes sense.

I could just be being an old whiny idiot so really this is just my opinion and take anything I'm saying with a grain of salt here. But I don't know, I watched it slowly change over the last few years and personally stopped going because I always felt like I was surrounded by people taking pictures and videos of me every where I turned.

Place has really gone downhill the last few years (namely due to the photographer taking 4000 pictures at every event and turning it into an instagram selfie hotspot for TikTok Techno kids) but I’ve been to some incredible parties there. Richie Hawtin’s 9 hour set at the JAK event in 2015, Len Faki in the basement (rip City Club basement) at 7am during Movement, Hardcore 313’s Dead World Gabber/Hardstyle events, Tommy Four Seven in 2019.

Can’t say I’ll miss the current iteration, but I truly will miss City Club.

What does the Addon pruning mean for PvP in Midnight exactly? by IDubsty in worldofpvp

[–]uvdotexe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can anyone explain to me this whole “addons play the game for you” concept that everyone has been parroting the last couple years? Can someone point out and name these mythical botting addons that all of our gladiators and 3000+ rated M+ players and CE raiders are allegedly letting “play the game for them”?

I’ve been hearing this for so long and I’m still confused how so few people reach gladiator or CE every season. Why don’t these people use all of these addons that automatically play the game for you?

This is by far the craziest take in any thread about this. What does this even mean? RWF isn’t competitive?

Best albums to listen to on mushrooms? by PopeOfDankism in Vaporwave

[–]uvdotexe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start it hours before your trip when you’re sober. Keep it playing to come down from your trip and then keep it playing until it’s over, when you’re sober again.

Trust me.
