The Symphony of the Goddess is still, by far, my favorite concert lol. It was amaaazzinggg and I would 100% pour my budget into going again if they began touring once more. :P

SPY x FAMILY looks pretty good, has a really good score too.
Maybe it's time to watch another Anime again xD.

I still have the latest seasons of Gintama to watch tho, been putting that off for a long time but I love Gintama.

Spy X Family is great, highly recommend it.

Keeping it spoiler free ofc, did anyone watch the two episodes of the Obi-Wan show?
I have absolutely zero interest at all whatsoever in basically anything Disney does with Star Wars, I've either hated it or found it meh ( unpopular opinion I guess, the Mandalorian wasn't that good and the writing felt like it was written for internet memes ).
Generally speaking I kinda don't even want to support Disney either.

But I am considering watching it, because I really really like Ewan Mcgregor as Obi-Wan he was honestly the perfect cast for the role imo and was very charismatic.
If it's actually good thus far then I might consider waiting until the whole thing is out tho and just watch it all at once but I dunno.
What's your impressions of the first two episodes?

[Kolsykol]

I went ahead and watched it.
The response to it seems VERY mixed which isn't too surprising imo it's honestly not that great altho we're '' only '' two episodes in ( that's still a third, there's only going to be six episodes ).

The chase scenes are just as bad if not worse than people say they're some of the goofiest stuff I've seen in a while lol.
A certain character takes up too much screen time, dunno if I should mention who since it'd be a spoiler I think.
But the character felt very tropey in the writing and not what I wanted so much of the show to be based around.

Outside of that tho Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan was really really good, it was worth to watch if only for him imo.
Reva ( the black Inquisitor woman ) also seems to have gotten a pretty negative response and yeah her acting isn't very good.
But I honestly thought she was okay but I am giving the benefit of the doubt she'll be explored more in the other episodes.
I definitely didn't dislike her as much as a lot of others seem to.

I kinda just wish more time was spent on Obi-Wan and the Inquisitors and less on the other stuff.
And Kumail Nanjiani's character felt really odd and out of place he didn't make much sense to me.
The actor is just far too clean and recognizable too imo I had a hard time not just seeing '' famous actor man '' whenever he was on screen.
Moses Ingram and Ewan McGregor didn't stand out like that to me at all I didn't rly think of who they were but that guy just stood out like a sore thumb and his over the top acting didn't help.
It almost felt like he was in the wrong movie and was from a spoof movie.

Decided the other morning I'm pretty much completely done with Lost Ark until maybe Artist comes out in that. Completely fatigued. I've already missed several days of daily log-in. I think what I don't like about any particular MMO, is the need to have to log on in general. If I don't want to do something, I have a very, very difficult time doing it. I'm a casual.

It doesn't help that it takes a while for Lost Ark to even launch.

At least it takes less than a minute for me to get into ESO and grab my daily login item.

Yeah, they need to fix that. It was a lot worse when my internet was having a lot of issues this year. I'd have to restart the game every time.. To be fair, with ESO, I could barely log on everyday for that either. Back when you had to log on to level your mount stamina or whatever. I don't think they had actual log-in rewards back several years ago.

Really wanting to watch Stranger Things season 4, but want to watch it with my GF. She's into it, but this season makes her more squeamish about watching it in the evening. We're 2 episodes into the 7 episode season, and I'm having to resist binging it without her (mainly because I don't want to be bored watching it with her later). Didn't have this trouble with the first 3 seasons. *sigh*

Bought an air purifier, it was supposed to have a sensor and you could put it on auto.
It's clearly wrong lol, PM2.5 shows 001 which is unrealistically clean and it says it's 27c in the room which is just impossible I even think it's a bit cold atm.
Even tried spraying some deodorant in front of it and nothing, it only changed to like 005 and went back to 001 after a few seconds after I opened and closed the door.

I looked into it and saw someone else from Sweden too who had contacted support and they said that it's basically working as intended, and that the sensors just aren't very sensitive they're designed for China and other countries with poor air quality...
I feel a bit scammed lol.
It's a good purifier it's just sad that the sensor doesn't work and you have to use the app to manually change the speed.
But I dunno if I even believe the explanation because the temp and humidity is very clearly wrong.
I am pondering whether to return it and get something else or just keep it, the control thing is really my only issue outside of that and dunno if I can even get one with a sensor for auto-mode for that price I got it on when it was on sale.
