There's no real movie spoilers there. Depends if you've seen anything from the director or actors from the last year+ though.

The Bautista line could be considered a spoiler, I guess, but he has apparently commented on social media saying goodbye . I don't think it is a massive secret that this is likely the last Guardians film, at least in their current guise

I don't follow anything Marvel related either, but there have been articles for over a year saying this is the last Guardians movie, which is why I wouldn't read anything into the info in that post. It doesn't spoil anything in the film.
Maybe I'm just less picky about what spoilers contain. If you don't want to know anything before seeing it, plot related or not, I'd say just stay out of threads on the topic. Without knowing any context you could read a number of things into any info.

Hm, well, apologies if that counts as spoilers but Bautista has been very vocal about it being his last Guardians film.
I'm not especially invested in following every update and announcement and I'd heard that much.

I wouldn't worry. Think you would have to be very spoiler adverse to consider that a spoiler, to the point you shouldn't be spending time in a MCU thread after the film has just come out. The trailer made it pretty clear this was an end of an era, even if you weren't following the behind the scenes talk. Someone who hasn't seen the film may think it was more of a spoiler than it actually is, I guess, as it could imply the character died, but that would just mean it will be a nice surprise to see him survive.

Just saw GotG3 - WHY WAS EVERYBODY SHOUTING ALL THE TIME AND A PARODY OF THEMSELVES!?!
Or "did you know we REALLY like Earth music"?
I enjoyed it, but I'm glad this iteration of the team is over. Felt very overdone.

I've seriously considered taking apart one of my old iPods and doing an SD card mod and chucking in a new battery. Then I remember the absolute misery of using iTunes on Windows to manage the library (Winamp worked too but caused other issues)
Good times...

Astell&Kern are the main brand though. Someone gave me one, with a 128gb microsd card full of lossless audio files.
It does sound pretty good if you have good headphones to go with it.
But I almost never carry it with me and so I rarely use it. And I dunno where I'd get more lossless music to add to the collection.
Plus, as dfunked mentioned it's kinda a pain to connect it and manage files. (Though it does have wi-fi and some high-res audio stores built in, but they seem to be mainly korean).

I used to use one but honestly if you can’t live without that level of fidelity 100% of the time there’s something wrong with you. Spotify on an iPhone is more than adequate for commuting. But yes, once at home I have higher standards.

Bit behind but saw Quantumania. I didn't hate it.
I did quite like some of the art design but at two hours it just felt too and really started to drag in the final 3rd. Some of the humour felt a bit forced. Michelle Pfeiffer is still pretty fit.
A decent 6/10

Just out of Spiderverse.
It’s better than the first, and by some margin. Phenomenal movie.

That was rather ace, the animation and overall art style scene to scene was fantastic and I loved the first battle that opened the movie. The only criticism I could level at it was the breakneck pace of the cuts didn't allow you to fully appreciate the art. Both kids were a bit annoyed by the end but couldn't stop talking about it all way home. There was a great little cameo in it and I loved some of the comedic names for some of the spidermens. The one that made me chuckle the most was Peter Parkedcar ... beep! beep! Can't wait to watch it again.

Worked just as well on a second viewing as the first time around I really think it's a film that will sustain so many rewatches, not only to spot all the Spider-People but there's so many visual jokes that must exist for a few frames at most. Very, very minor spoiler Hobie's very British dimension jumper very briefly changes part of the New York rooftop into a red phonebox

I liked it a lot, but didn’t like how it ended. It didn’t end as a stand alone story, just a set up for the next part. That’s pretty shite if you ask me. Empire Strikes Back gets called out for the same reason. But this felt worse on the back of the MCU managing 20+ films all being standalone, and simultaneously part of a bigger whole. But a great film. More character oriented that action, which worked really well. And so well orchestrated from the first film. So many tie ins to that. And the obvious little on screen bits. Truly a love story to Spidey comics.

In relation to the MCU, Infinity War and End Game, which were also billed as a 2-part movie, essentially does the same thing. Infinity War is neater but both movies came with advanced announcements that they are due a follow-up. And I don’t think it hurts, either way. They don’t have to conform to the same rules. It’s just different.
Really looking forward to watching it again, and seeing the concluding part.

I had gone in so spoiler free that I wasn’t aware it was a two part story.

The first trailer had the title “Across The Spider-verse (Part One)”.

I also wasn't aware it's a 2-parter. When's the second?
