I know you and lack of social media well long enough by now.


Hey! I have Twitter! ;P


I mainly prefer Instagram these days since the hashtag systems is a good way to discover accounts with similar interests. It's one of the places where I'm finding new music while I can comfortably post about what I'm putting on my hifi.


I use Deezer to discover new music. Like Somali Yacht Club, for example.


This pandemic has stopped me from having nights out as well as not getting tickets for any gigs or Comic Cons. Any tickets I still have ongoing I'm saving them for when the events eventually happen. I kept my Bloodstock ticket for next year and while nothing has been said yet, I can see the shows for Helloween and Priest with Ozzy being postponed (the latter would be like the fourth time being pushed back by that point). Tbh I'm more looking forward to Helloween as they're doing more than just a London show. Only need to travel to Manchester so happy days there.


I have tickets for a live show that was scheduled in late March, but got postponed a few days before the event. New date is in 2021. :(

I also have tickets for another live event in October. Maybe this whole thing is over by then. And I wanted to attend the WGT in Leipzig for the first time, which should have started next week. But... Yeah, not going to happen.

Next thing to look forward to is a mini festival (called 'Wini Macken', obviously a play on the words 'Mini Wacken'). It's supposed to take place in August. We'll see.


What I have been buying as of late is picking up more CDs again. I went quite some years without building up my collection but have picked up again over the last half year, particularly when I finally got shelves to fit all the CDs in my flat and even now I need more space for them!


There's never enough space for people like us, who like to collect physical media, lol.

I've invested some money into my Amiga last month. Now I have a turbo card (14 Mhz processor! 2 MB RAM!) and a hard drive (55MB!). Plus, I managed to pick up some games I used to play as a kid but never had the original version of.


I think Germany is lucky to have a scientist in charge. Merkel is a physician. I mean, I will never vote for her party and disagree with a lot of views, but I have to admit that she's doing an OK job.

Thankfully you have a leader with some idea on what to do. Boris has not been so great, though I suppose there are worse leaders out there...


His orange twin brother for example.

I at least planned on depositing every day. That allows me to check out any notifications or messages this account may have received.

I won't be leaving any reviews from this account though. I barely do that with my main account as it is.



Curious now, is this a shared account? Or solo Fro in the account management role?


Just Fro, but Dom is actually taking care of every other account minus the Patreon and Paypal, which are also run by me. The podcasts can be found on spotify, anchor, and a bunch of other podcast websites.

Congratulations.
You'll have Deity in no time. Trust me.


While I do have a slight advantage... It really hasn't been anything more than me flagging stolen submissions from the portal and the EGB thread. I also occasional run into reviews that need to be deleted that are too old to delete without someone flagging them. Just because I'm already signed into this account when I find those reviews I go ahead and mark them. I haven't been going out of my way to sign into this one to mark reviews though.


Also, while we are on the topic...

I guess so. :) We're probably still used to having a bit more distance between us, larger open spaces overall.


Found the article!
It was in the city of Lund: https://www.sydsvenskan.se/2020-04-29/honsskit-ska-stoppa-festen-i-stadsparken

With my very limited knowledge of Norwegian I think I understand that Philip Sandberg said something like "it's good for the grass, and we will have a really nice park for the sommer season"? XD


Pretty much. XD Apparantely they had backup chickenshit too, for potential other areas where festivities may reign... this was all in preperation for the Walpurgis Night parties. The night before the first of May we usually gather around and light bonfires, though of course this year everything was a bit different.


Thanks for the link! It's a bit further South than where I am.


More and more stores are opening up again, but with some measures in effect, like wearing masks, only letting a few people in at once, etc.


Nice. :)


Nice side effect: all of a sudden it's possible to pay by card almost everywhere. Germany was lagging way behind in that regard because apparently we are a folk of cash loving people.


Aw man, the cash though... I've been hoping this pandemic wouldn't be a cash detriment too. Being able to pay anonymously is one of the building blocks of free society IMO. Maybe you don't have the same problems there yet, but here it's hard to find shops that accept cash in some areas. If we could have both I'd see the alternative as progress, but they're really trying to phase out traditional monetary exchange entirely.


But of course, there are some tin foil hats running around, spreading stupid lies, waving the constitution around (instead of maybe reading it for a change), etc pp.


Hmm? Related to the above?


I'm afraid that a second wave will hit soon and will hit hard.


That does seem possible though. Maybe inevitable. :/ If everything's opening up; everybody stops taking it as seriously... they can't keep businesses shut down forever either, whether it's initiated by the government or no I think there'll be a point when at least certain groups of people just stop caring; reignite the spread...


Oh yeah. It's amazing how 'not leaving the house much' does this to you.


To think I didn't notice this back when it was voluntary.

I tried keeping some alternative accounts alive for a while, gathering stats with more than just this one but... in the end it just felt so unnecessary. Maybe more purpose with an account you actually use though.

So, that makes me think, does the city of Lund just keep a backup of chicken shit all year round? XD


Aw man, the cash though... I've been hoping this pandemic wouldn't be a cash detriment too. Being able to pay anonymously is one of the building blocks of free society IMO.


But cash is so inconvenient most of the time. All those coins, ugh. If you want to pay anonymously you could always use Bitcoin or something.


But of course, there are some tin foil hats running around, spreading stupid lies, waving the constitution around (instead of maybe reading it for a change), etc pp.

What I was trying to say: most people comply with the orders currently in effect, but some nutcases think there's some conspiracy behind all of this and act dangerously stupid.

Yeah, it's like balancing on a razor's edge right now. Lift the lockdown too soon, there will be consequences. Keep shops closed too long, there will be consequences too.


Oh yeah. It's amazing how 'not leaving the house much' does this to you.

Same. Maybe because before we always had the option to go out if we wanted to.

They probably do have stashes of fertilizer all over the place. XD Plenty of parks to keep green... had never really considered what they used or what they had in store before this though...


But cash is so inconvenient most of the time. All those coins, ugh. If you want to pay anonymously you could always use Bitcoin or something.


But how do you get bitcoin anonymously? You need a source of exchange. If you use a card for the trade then it's still traceable. Bitcoin's transparent, but it's not really anonymous either is it?


It's also digital, even if it was possible to make it a new standard I'm not a fan of having all financial assets rely on a network connection and electricity to be available. Cash is basically your personal gold standard. I do know money doesn't technically exist at all on the same scale that it used to, but I feel the material link is more important now than ever. We ought to be more wary of our integrity; not place our trust in technology to the point we lose it entirely.


I'm not against people paying by card if they want to, but the monetary alternative should really be a basic human right; a form of currency that's safeguarded and supported on an international level.


What I was trying to say: most people comply with the orders currently in effect, but some nutcases think there's some conspiracy behind all of this and act dangerously stupid.


Yeah. :/ Conspiracy or no it's no excuse to endanger everyone unnecesarily.


Yeah, it's like balancing on a razor's edge right now. Lift the lockdown too soon, there will be consequences. Keep shops closed too long, there will be consequences too.


For sure.


Same. Maybe because before we always had the option to go out if we wanted to.


True true. I imagine even when I was sitting in more than I am now there must've occasionally have been that something to break that routine. Really missing those routine-breaking occurrences now.

It's pseudonymous at the very least. And it's not hard to set up new wallets. It's why cybercriminals always want bitcoins.

It's also not known who exactly invented Bitcoin. The name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym as well. It's unclear who and how many are behind this.


I'm not against people paying by card if they want to, but the monetary alternative should really be a basic human right; a form of currency that's safeguarded and supported on an international level.


It's still very inconvenient to even get my hands on cash. The next ATM is very out of my way, so I have to plan to get the money. And I don't want to carry around thousands of Euros either. Plus, it's even more inconvenient when traveling to foreign countries that don't have the Euro. I have to exchange the money and in a store I need longer to count it because it looks unfamiliar m


And to make matters worse, since we got the Euro I haven't once been to a country that has the Euro as well...


I like cash, but I still think it's inconvenient. :)
