I posted this while still going through the party and just found another one. Wither straight up goes

Though art the Saviour of Baldur’s Gate…until such time it requires saving again.

And later goes (I will summerize slightly)

I have waited long to tell you these words. It is over…for now.

Sleep, rest, revel. But be ready, For though mayest yet be needed.

They weren’t exactly subtle I suppose haha

Not somewhere I had considered looking but we have one nearby, I’ll check it out

I was actually looking in to that last night. I’ll probably try it once but I do wonder if the time it would take would be worth the money saved.

This is a neat idea, I’ll give it a shot next time we have some!

We are very much not local, but I see they have some stuff 20% out so we might check it out! Thank you!

I’ve experienced that at a friend’s house and I don’t prefer it over just using our existing wax burner, if we are going to do something flameless. They were very pleasant smelling though!

This is the route that we go too actually, I just hate having to wait for sales haha

Honestly, we normally burn them for ~6-7 hours at a time when we light them. We both work from home and I’ll usually light it up the first time I get up from the computer. It doesn’t happen with nicer candles, but some of the cheaper 1 wick ones we get from Walmart or Aldi will tunnel like that even with the long burns.

That is possible, though from my limited experience (2 call centers) companies won’t tell Customer Service reps to deny knowledge of something that is public knowledge. They will have some sort of carefully constructed public statement instead. And most reps don’t care enough to do anything besides repeat the statement, possibly verbatim.

I’ve worked adjacent to customer service people in a call center. Honestly, they might not have known. Call centers are frequently terrible about giving their reps news BEFORE customers start calling in about it. Plus, low level call center reps generally aren’t exactly star employees and may or may not pay attention when told things.

Honestly no, I’ve never been to anything close to this size. Usually my wife and I go to smaller shows in ~1000-2000 person venues.

It is for sure a different energy though. Small venues are nice because even from the back you are pretty close to the stage but the feeling of >15,000 people singing along with somebody live is sort of indescribable, you know?

Do you like to go to a lot of big shows like that?

I’d have killed to do something like that for senior week haha.

Weird question maybe, but did they have the Hurricane when you were there? And did it go way too fucking fast? I rode it with a friend and I thought I was going to die. Best ride there haha

EDIT: The pic isn’t of the actual ride, just the same type of ride at a different park. I couldn’t find a pic of the actual ride

Don’t have a good one on Lemmy for my area yet sadly, but you are probably right. It was pretty big though, they sold 50k tickets per day for all 3 days. I talked to people from as far away as Wisconsin and Texas, with most of the people there being from all up and down the east coast.

I was with my wife and some friends, so 7 of us total. Truth be told it was mostly my wife and I by ourselves though and then we just met with everybody at the AirBnB at the end of the night and talked with the other people. My wife is pretty hardcore so we were leaving before everybody else every day and getting back last every night haha.

And it was in Ocean City, so literally right on the coast. We were coming out of VA so we drove up the peninsula. It was a pretty fantastic location honestly. The little amusement park in the center was free for anybody attending the concert, except for a select few rides (giant slingshot most notably) so we were able to ride the Ferris Wheel and stuff if there was a gap in the shows we wanted to see.

It was a 3 day music festival in Maryland! It was right on the beach, two of the three stages you were standing in the sand. Artists there people are most likely to recognize are Jack Johnson, Alanis Morissette, Jimmy Eat World, Weezer and The Lumineers. Lots of other stuff too though. My favorite was Fitz and the Tantrums, though Jack Johnson’s set was crazy good. Man puts on a really good live show.

I am assuming he won’t be able to go to bed at a decent time. I wake up at 6:30am most days and I know I couldn’t go to bed at 6:30pm. If he woke up at 3pm, it would be a tall order to fall asleep before ~4am I’d figure. Which gives him ~3 hours of sleep.

I can’t speak for OP, but some people sleep through alarms if they haven’t slept enough. My oldest will legit just sleep through his phone alarm if it has been less than 5 hours since he went to bed. I’ve just heard his alarm go off in his room for 20 minutes straight before I walk in there and shake him awake. Shit is a problem.

It was Epic exclusive on PC I believe

As somebody who used to weigh over 350 pounds, you need to be the thing that stops you. I promise, losing the weight is harder than just not buying that cake in the first place.

Obviously you do or else you wouldn’t live there

Very much not true. Moving to another country full time is not particularly easy for a lot of people.
