I've been more of a lurking lately with the occasional post here and there. I had to log in to comment on the goodbye thread. Thanks for the great memories since the moment I joined the forum. 

I never thought I'd want to hear a metal cover of a Blackpink, but here we are. 

 

Ticketmaster concert tickets. I have spent a stupid amount of money on 1 ticket

Article: "CEO-nim is someone who made sure our group got paid even when we were still in debt" The Lush member tears up during interview

Source: News 1 TV Entertainment via YouTube

[+1,500] I saw other interviews by this group and they said that for seven years, the CEO never took them to dinners with investors or advertisers... which is surprising, if you know anything about the industry, and especially about how much harder it is for smaller agencies. The CEO seems like he has clear morals about how he wants to run things, and it's amazing that he was doing this 10 years ago.
- [+122] We all know why CEOs bring their girl groups to dinners with investors... to offer up a one night service.
- [+115] Yes, this member claims that he never once brought them to any unsavory location and stressed that a singer only needs to worry about singing well and to leave the business stuff up to the company~~

[+953] The CEO is no longer their current CEO but The Lush members keep calling him their CEO, which shows how warm he must've been to them. I don't know how you could ever betray such a person...

[+446] The Lush... I've never heard of this group and looked them up to take a listen, and their vocals filled up my speakers. I can see why the CEO adored them so... I hope that their songs get the spotlight that they deserve and that things work out for their former CEO as well. 

[+329] It's hard to receive such positive feedback from a former employee like this. He really does seem like a kind person. 

[+178] I can feel her genuine respect for him ㅠ find strength, CEO-nim. The entire country is supporting you!!!

[+266] How kind he must've been towards everyone for people like her to come forward in his defense... He's lived a good life

[+874] Aigoo, she is such a kind person ㅠ She said that she's sad she's not more famous than she is to be of more help ㅠ I can really feel that she wants to help him

[+60] Nothing but good stories come out of this man the deeper you dig. I've never heard of The Lush until today and they have some pretty good songs like 'I Belong to You.' I hope we can create a world where the kind are rewarded. Find strength!!

[+91] She teared up while expressing her gratitude for him... you can just feel how preciously he treated his people. I wish men like him would succeed in this industry so that they can spread their positive influence to more celebrities.

[+410] I'm just sad that it seems like he's far past the point where he'll be able to recover this girl group... I hope Ahn Sung Il gets criminally charged, that scamster who thinks the debt belongs to the CEO if the group flops, but every hit belongs to him ㅋㅋ

[+201] Hard to believe that a CEO like him has existed in our industry at all

He needs to get some serious help instead of jail time

I've been on a huge retro binge lately. My next retro game has brought me to play Mario and Luigi Partners in Time 

 

 

Article: Sakura "I played LoL for 12 hours a day", unveils rank and shares "I got better at Korean through LoL"

Source: Wikitree via Instagram

1. [+130] I bet the only Korean she improved through the game was her swearing

2. [+58] I don't think improving your Korean through LoL is the best way to do it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+77] I bet she's mastered all the Korean mom slurs ㅋㅋ

4. [+5] Her Korean swearing skills probably improved infinitely faster than her gaming skills

5. Learning Korean through LoL, hmm ㅋㅋㅋ

6. Why is my rank the same as an idol;;

7. Could I meet her if I queue up in silver?

8. Fun to hear that Sakura plays the same game as me ㅋㅋ

They won't that's the freebies from last year, it shows they give away some good stuff.

Stupid me. I didn't notice the 2021 beside the names

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order: I've been avoiding this game for awhile now since I'm not big into a soulslike games. The trailer for the sequel has me wanting to check out the game. I'm glad I picked it up while it was on sale since I had a blast while playing it. The combat is challenging at first, but it's very easy to pick up. The boss fights were the best part of the game. I'm looking forward to more from Cal when the sequel comes in in March.

8/10

Why are they giving away to Tomb Raider Trilogy for free again

 

New trailer was posted 

 

Dawn destroyed his career to be together with Hyuna and now they're broken up. I guess ruining his career was for nothing 

Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru aka The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls: It's disappointing that this game never got a true localization since it's a great game. The characters and humor were really funny. I loved how unique the combat system was. I wish this game got localized since it's a game I'd love to own as a kid to play on my Gameboy. 8/10

Metroid Fusion: I forgot how disturbing the Metroid game was jumping back into. I loved how creepy the atmosphere of the game. The boss fights to me can seem pretty unfair sometimes (I'm looking at you Nightmare and SA-X), but not to the point that they ruin the game for me.

9/10

 

 

 

Wakanda Forever: I can't really say much without spoiling the movie, so I'll just leave this short and sweet. I'll start off by saying that it was a great tribute to Chadwick Boseman and this tribute indeed brought tears to my eyes. The film the other hand was simply amazing. I thought Shuri had great character development through out the film. I also thought that Namor made for a really good villain right up there with Killmonger. This is all I can really say without spoiling much, so check out my spoiler if you want more. 

9/10  RIP Chadwick Boseman

This is really sad and sudden. He was a major part of my childhood.

Same here. I grew up loving Power Rangers

 

 

I've been playing the new God of War and I'm loving it so far. Anyone else playing it right now

I never get trick or treaters, so I never buy candy. I've only had trick or treaters once and I just said I didn't have anything.

I've been in love in love with my steam deck even more now since I got my dock for it.

That's good! I wanted to buy it a while ago, but I already had a switch so I decided not to. Hopefully more games will be able to be played on there

You can now get a Steam Deck without the need to reserve your spot if you're still interested in buying one. 

 

Article: [Exclusive] First 112 call asked "please control the Itaewon station area"... police ignored the calls for four hours

Source: Korea Ilbo via Nate

1. [+3,385, -222] Dereliction of duty is applicable for criminal punishment

2. [+2,816, -246] So we shouldn't have been looking to catch the bunny ear man, we should've been catching the police all along

3. [+200, -10] If this is fact, then the police had time and opportunity to prevent what happened, and they should be held responsible for it

4. [+186, -10] So calling the police to report 'discomfort' does not count as a real report in the eyes of the police.. I see...

5. [+178, -26] So do people still think the government is not at fault? They did nothing even while reports were being called in. How is this not the government's fault?

6. [+172, -5] This is undeniable proof that people were requesting for help and nothing was done

7. [+135, -11] Why did the police categorize the first call as a 'discomfort report'??????? How many reports do you need for it to be escalated to a severe situation?????????????? What kind of excuse is this for their own dereliction of duty? 

8. [+126, -3] Let's start by having the Yongsan police resign. Investigations need to be launched into what they were doing for the four hours after that first report. We know this isn't the first time police stood around wasting time after reports came in.

Article: [Exclusive] '79 calls' to the 112 right up to the tragedy... local task force got off work

Source: SBS via Nate

1. [+1,257, -77] The police should've been on it with the first two calls but 79 calls went by with nothing done. I'm so tired of our police force only ever doing something once people are dead.

2. [+1,237, -75] Everyone needs to voluntarily resign. 

3. [+1,211, -130] We basically have no government at this point, right?

4. [+55, -6] So is there no point in calling 112 anymore? We're all just supposed to fend for ourselves out here now?

5. [+54, -8] Feels like we're living in a country without a president. We all have to fend for ourselves. Don't trust anyone. These people won't apologize for the 150 deaths that happened on their watch.

Article: "Where are you? Are there a lot of people?" police asked back, but decided not to act on the 7 reports that came in

Source: JTBC via Nate

1. [+2,077, -55] I don't know how this could happen. Can you imagine how desperate the people must've felt having to call the police because of how many people were crowding around them?

2. [+1,972, -51] Ah, this is really so tragic... Until when must our country continue to repeat tragic accident after tragic accident....

3. [+1,832, -125] So what exactly were the 112 and 119 doing on that day. They had to have seen through their CCTV just how big the crowds were forming for several days prior to the accident. Did they just leave the TVs on with no one paying attention? They had reports coming in for hours chose to ignore them the whole time. It was only when people started dying that they finally left for the scene. What's the point then? ㅡㅡ???? Regular citizens were already giving CPR and doing what the police only just now arrived to do ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

4. [+114, -7] I understand passing off a few calls as just people partying too hard but when more calls keep coming in, wouldn't it be common sense to just go out and check out what's going on?

5. [+40, -5] No matter how hard you try not to blame your country for things like this... what can you do when your own police are ignoring calls for help. I just don't understand why they didn't even bother to go out there and see what was going on. Sigh.

6. [+37, -6] Just speaking off of logic, wouldn't you still want to be out there as a policeman to check that things are going smoothly before any reports are called in? 

7. [+31, -4] Most people don't really call the 112 number so for reports to have been called in to 112 means that everyone was desperate

8. [+17, -1] So there's record of police responding to at least four of the calls, which means they went but didn't do a thorough job of assessing the situation. I don't think they could've returned to their office after seeing what was actually happening at the scene. Why wasn't more police help requested? What was their response to these calls?

9. [+16, -5] Citizens were reporting the dangers of the situation, asking for help for four hours before the accident... We are in a state of no governent. May they rest in peace.

10. [+14, -0] So they responded to four of the calls... but what did they do? Just look at the scene and go back to the office...?

Article: [Full report] Record of Itaewon's 112 calls... reports of crush concern for four hours before accident

Source: Naver

1. [+201, -5] This is unfortunate. If anyone had cared, if anyone had realized that the onslaught of calls was something worth checking out, they could've handled the accident before it happened

2. [+160, -18] I can't believe this. That in the year 2022, 150 young lives were lost "trampled to death" in our country and that no one is taking responsibility for it. Citizens were calling in reports and asking for help for hours before the accident, but the government keeps calling it an accident that couldn't be helped. Everyone refused to apologize at first, but only now are they slowly putting down their heads one by one. It doesn't feel genuine. I have to head out to the streets to work once again tomorrow, who can I trust to protect me and my family? It feels hopeless and depressing. We are all the same people we were before in 2022, but it feels like our country has changed.

3. [+124, -8] This feels like the fault of the police. It gives me goosebumps... that so many calls went unanswered. You would think it would be common sense to do something, anything, when so many calls are coming in... when so many people are saying that they feel like they're going to be crushed to death... but all the police ever did was ask them for their location and then.. nothing ㅡㅡ

4. [+101, -12] Why do the police even bother answering calls? Do they not even communicate with each other? And why would you keep asking back "where is your location?" to every single call? The police killed these people. Everyone on duty that night should be up for suspension.

5. [+17, -1] This is a tragedy that could've been prevented by the police and it seems like they stood by and chose to do nothing. I really want to ask them... what were you doing during all of those calls being made?? Who is responsible for this?

6. [+15, -0] So many calls made before something terrible happened, what were they doing?

7. [+15, -1] The police ignored them. Calls to the 112 sounded urgent.

8. [+14, -0] So sad and enraging... that the police just took these calls and ignored them..

9. [+9, -1] So they ignored these calls? Isn't it the most basic job of the police to go to the scene of the reports being made? I wonder at what point they decided these calls weren't worth responding to?

10. [+8, -0] My heart broke as I read the call logs. What exactly were the police doing while people were calling in, scared that they were going to be crushed to death? This whole accident could've been prevented..

11. [+8, -0] God dammit, reports were made four hours before the accident! Four hours... four hours before! ㅜㅜ
