(New) Love/Hate Thread

[ThatOneDude]

I'm sorry to hear about your grandad Keenan. It sucks that it had to happen at such a chaotic time like this. My condolences.

I'm not very good at writing up stuff like this, so I apologize for my poor writing skills if this doesn't make much sense.

Don't worry man, we understand what you're trying to say. You may not have to worry anymore, but it still sucks regardless.

 

[Keenan]

Thanks, guys. <3

Hate: Pipe in my apartment had a big hole in it and started leaking sewage water into the hallway so they had to get a hotel for us for a few days to fix it so I’ve been there

Love: at least I get new cabinets and half a new bathroom for a few months I guess??

 

[Podgie]

Bitter sweet, I guess...

Love: right now not a lot, though work's super quiet at the moment cause of this whole thing. So it's easy money, at least.

Hate: broke up with my girlfriend this week. It's for he best, but I'm still kind of bummed out over it all... missing the companionship for sure.

Following on from that, makes me realise how few friends I actually have ha

 

[Keenan]

^Damn. That sucks, Podgie. Hopefully you bounce back and find someone soon. However few we are, you've always got us on here. <3


Love : Downloaded Divinity : Original Sin 2 last week. It's REALLY good. I've been switching between that and Ghost of Tsushima, which is also REALLY good.
Hate : Got sunburned as fuck yesterday. My neck is killing me.

 

[Podgie]

Cheers man, appreciate it! As for the finding someone else soon bit, think I'm best off alone for a while. Shit's kind of crazy in the world right now isn't it, unstable and uncertain times - probably not great for relationships. No wonder there's so much strain on so many of them right now!

Love: Done with work for a few days. Boston Celtics are looking goooood, absolutely KILLED the Raptors last night - so that's made me happy.
Hate: Ahhhhhhh not all that much really. Just happy to be employed still really!

 

[ThatOneDude]

Boston Celtics are looking goooood, absolutely KILLED the Raptors last night - so that's made me happy.

Things would be a lot different if we had 3x NBA champion Patrick McCaw back on the team.

 

[Podgie]

Yeah, that's true. About that game, most people are making out that the Raptor played real bad - I don't think they did I think the Celtics just nailed their gameplan for the entire game (for once).

Regardless, I actually like Toronto as a team. I love how they've responded to Kawhi leaving, remaining one of the best teams in the league. After my Celtics, I hope they make it out of the East.

I dislike Milwaukee, mainly because of Giannis. I hate how he's considered some kind of God, babied by the league and the media and protected by the refs.

 

[Darkofeden]

Love: That new Mastodon song and the new Gojira song are so great
Hate: Only ended up getting new floors in the apartment but i'll take it because fuck carpets

 

[Keenan]

The weird spacy vibe that Another World has is fucking sick. Can't wait for the new album. I just hope that the art for the single isn't the art for the actual album.

Love : Divinity Original Sin 2. This game is great and only gets better the more I play it.
Hate : Sunburn pain is still immense.

Hate: Earwax buildup in my right ear for the past week means I can't hear out of it properly, had to wait outside the walking clinic for two hours just for the doctor to call me to say "yeah just keep putting more warm olive oil in your ears, call back on friday if its still an issue" when I could've been at work.
Also Hate: Uncle's wife is staying with me and my family because my uncle is a fucking moron who can't keep his hands off her.
Like: This is the only place I can comfortably bitch about my problems without having to feel like I'm complaining for no reason.

We definitely gonna do damage to teams in the playoffs, but we need a consistent 20pt scorer. Can't rely on one guy to explode each night, its gonna lead to reckless mistakes.

I also have no problem with Giannis getting easy treatment, but he's gotta get a better team behind him if he wants to leave a Lebron-esque mark on the NBA. He's got a lot of work ahead of him if he wants a trophy.

That's annoying as hell. I had problems with earwax build up years ago and finally got my ears "siringed" (warm water blasted into your ear drums to clean 'em out) ...weird feeling but one of the most satisfying things ever haha

Understand where you're coming from on that one. That's one of the things I'm really confident about with the Celtics, we've got a few guys who average 20 or so a game.

Will be supporting your Raptors BIG tonight against the Bucks. Looking forward to that one... EDIT: Just read Giannis is out for the night, not so excited now.

========================================================================

Love: hot as balls here in London (for London, anyway). Kind of like it when I'm spending a lot of time being lazy indoors like I am at the moment.

Hate: kind of what I love here... breaking up with my girlfriend means I'm not really doing much outside of work, and generally being lazy as fuck

 

[Darkofeden]

Y'all think we'll hear anything substantial? At this point i've waited so long that i'm 95% guessing it'll be "Oh new label, we'll be recording soon!™

(in the 0.1% chance any members of the band see this post, I love y'all but it's uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh been a while)

 

[Podgie]

As far as I'm aware the album's completely done. Recorded and ready to go. So I'm guessing it'll be label, release date? Album title, artwork? (would be awesome) ...new track?! (would be even more awesome)

I'm excited!! haha

 

[Keenan]

HOLY FUCK

PLEASE BE A NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT


EXCITEMENT IS HIGH

 

[Podgie]

Almost positive it's going to be the album announcement, I mean, it's not going to be a tour announcement is it?

I'm fucking HYPED though. Got high hopes for album V. Wonder which label they've gone with...

I was about to check what yall thought of the announcement. I think itll be an album announcement, but probably just title/art if we're lucky. I'm not expecting a release date yet.

Side note, Ol has a discord channel now. Neat as it is, I'm not exactly a big fan of joining IM groups like that buuuuut it's worth bringing up.

 

[Podgie]

I'm guessing the announcement will be album title, new label and release date. Would be amazing to see artwork too, but I'm not expecting that (fingers crossed though!).

Maybe I'm showing my age here but I have no idea what discord is...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love: good headphones, good coffee and good music in the morning of anot her day off
Hate: my conscious telling me I should be doing more with my life / and that I'm a lot more unhappy about breaking up with my girlfriend that I'm making out. Weird feeling.

 

[Darkofeden]

Discord is a Messaging app that mainly started for Gamers but has gained a lot of popularity because it's actually good to use for everyone. That being said, the idea of being in a big discord channel with a shit ton of people I don't know no longer sounds like my idea of fun. I'll stick on here and talk to the only 6 people that still login to this website anymore

Announcement in half an hour now, excited. My current guess is that the announcement will be the rescheduled date for that show that was supposed to happen earlier this year

Edit: That was.............. not the announcement I was expecting

Pretty much. I've tried as well, but there's a charm from posting on a classic forum that I don't get anywhere else.

Edit: That was.............. not the announcement I was expecting

Same. Definitely one I wasn't expecting, but one I could see happening, especially with him running that 80s movie theater project he loves. Curious about his statement too.
