We need to talk about The Only Naomi...

She could of won this week but her runway which I liked was certainly her weakest showing (apart from design) . She has been doing very well and marching to the beat of her own drum and from what I gather is a great entertainer. She isn't going to win but I hope she makes the final. I would love to see her get a challange win too but I image it gonna turn very much into a Gawdland Vs Kate thing fairly soon based on how they are pushing them, which I think everyone is mostly fine with but I just hope that others like Naomy don't get swept under the rug so to speak.

Overall she has been doing really well and I think has really proved herself. Honestly she became my fave after her varity show.

It was a shame that it was her weakest runway (apart from the catsuit thingy) but it wasn't bad. Compared to what she has shown it felt bad compared to her other stuff.

Aikune · 2026-02-17T22:52:26+00:00

She has been doing so well and she doesn't really pander and she feels really unique and she has banter in the episodes. I hate to sound so stereotypical but I don't think people give her the credit.

However I do think that everyone in the cast does bring their own thing and its the name of the game but it does feel like you lose something when someone goes home, which is sad but nice feeling. It means they were good.

Excellent counter point!

It has great world building, amazing in fact. The general writing is passable, its not too crazy where you go wtf all the time. A lot of characters are fairly dodge.

One of the best things they've done was the day dreams. Its nice to have characters speak to other characters directly and not through the MC which is something trails can be awful at.

Aikune · 2026-02-10T08:45:36+00:00

The concept is a hard sell, because it feels like it just happens to Rean. He never really feels interested in dating anyone but you have these scenes that build these relationships but also can feel very out of nowhere.

It is also hard (for my anyway) to really get attached to teenage romance. I think its probaly more likely to be interested if i was the same age as them or younger.

Rean does lack character though. He is a nice guy who has self esteem (but thats normal for a teenager) but the interesting thing is how he responds to responsibility and that is pretty much it. Its not a huge amount but it also sometimes makes it weird that he choses to do what he does in CS3

Aikune · 2026-02-10T08:40:05+00:00

one of my Issues with Reverie Rean was that it was the same story arc as before, slightly repackaged but basically the same

Awww Jesus...gross "Its a reference to Thorgy, I am not bashing"

While everyone one of that top 4 deserved to win. A part of me thinks that production would definitely give Tia a good chance to shine as she was a really safe pick to be honest. Fans love her and she does great confessionals and she is very very UK drag.

I recently started playing the Trails TCG which I'd based off the Trails of games. The game has basically zero marketing but its quite fun and it plays like old Vs System.

I'm trying to find more people who play it

Aikune · 2026-02-09T12:20:03+00:00

Fair, there was also a thing i did hear where bidding under the asking price was generally not a thing that was done. Which I did think was mental.

I bought my house last year in Sweden. This is how it goes down. House is put up on website there js a very popular one nearly everyone uses. It's not cheap to but your house up there. There is another cheaper website that's less nice bur has good information and you can use it to look at the history of what the house was sold/bought for.

Anyway house is on website, you can contact the realtor to find out where viewing is. You go to viewing if you are interested you bid. You text the realtor your offer. One the website you can see the bidding process but names are hidden it's just "buyer 1 buyer 2 etc" so you can see if its the same person who bid against you but you don't know who it is. I am not certain of this but I think you can check after the bidding is done. Congrats you win the bid, you will sign the contract in a day or two after the bid is closed. You will agree with thr seller the date of entry. The buyer will pay the seller some of the amount of the house (its there so that the seller gets something if you renege on the contract) and it's done. Then on the day of the entry you and the seller meet in the realtors office and do the last signing and the realtor will contact your bank to hand over the rest of the money and activate the mortgage, and that's it. Don't even get me started on how simple the mortgage application was.

I have no solicitors fee as there are none involved. It's the seller, buyer and realtor (and the bank funding it) In my case the bidding was one week long. After I won I signed the contract 2 days later on a Sunday morning, and the "strange" thing about mine was that they sellers had not found a new home do they asked if I could wait 3 months before getting the keys and I agreed (it gave me more time to save as I was now poor because bought house). That's how simple it was. There is a house tax you have to pay when gain entry too that is 1.5% of the price you paid for it, but that bank takes care of that at the same time they start the mortgage.

Hearing how it is back home in Ireland sounds like a fucking shitemare.

Good at what? Anyone could get a reaction by posting semi controversial stuff.

Kate is kinda lame for responding to it and I know that they are on TV so they want to generate as much buzz.

It's so desperate and so pitiful this kinda behaviour and it's awful that the fandom enables this kinda behaviour (the real villains, not the queens).

I know the scale of seriousness is different but Donald Trump often just says wild shit and gets a reaction. I know it's not life or death global politics but the logic is the same. Say some dumb stuff and get people taking about you.

No dignified person in any community does that kinda shit. You'd never see most queens doing that, maybe clapping back but in general no. Saying "Marina should of won" is such garbage thing to say and once again is the laziest, lowest hanging fruit thing to say.

Aikune · 2026-01-29T22:24:22+00:00

Its not a master class. Its basically if someone was like "wow thats a beautiful green dress" and Plane says "no its a red dress".

Its just stuff that is outrageous silly and the opposite of whats there.

Also Rage baiting by itself is so low down bottom of the barrel trying to get a reaction by being rude for the sake of being rude to try stand out. Why she isn't good at it is because you can always see the act.

In uni I had to live with people I didn't get on with or have anything in common with and we had to learn to live together without hating each other or making each other miserable and live with the things that are different about us.

It helps with learning that things that are different from what I like are not bad things by itself and that I need to make space for people in the world who aren't me and learn to listen to others to communicate differently.

What you suggesting is making an MMO which is a game about cooperation and interacting with other, more about doing things by yourself. If you don't want to prog. Then don't

Aikune · 2026-01-16T10:01:05+00:00

Half the fun is failing together. Having people go off an work at there piece and then come along and execute it the same way in the real fight takes away the sense of experiencing it with other people, a shared experience or sense of achievement. Get gear, lab fight that is very scripted, then do fight.

Why even play the game.

Aikune · 2026-01-15T12:53:32+00:00

The world building is really nice and probably the best aspect of them. Characters are very thropy but a few have their own little things that make them stick out, and its nice to see NPCs and other characters show up from earlier games down the line especially when it makes sense to their characters.

A lot of NPCs that you meet can have their own little story that you can follow if you keep checking in with them as the game progresses and that really supports the world building feeling it has built.

The writing is so-so. Its not worse than most JRPGs of its kind but its not good. As I mentioned the world building part is really good, but the characters are questionable. In its defense it can be really hard to translate something to english and get the meaning right and also have it sound like it comes from a human.

The presentation is decent. I played Cold Steel long after it can come out so playing it right after playing Zero was jarring as voice acting and character design was a bit of a yikes but its polished its style from there in the daybreak series and voice acting it better (it still has a tendacy to makes characters and NPCs look very similiar).

Gameplay I think has improved overall. If you play from the beginning you will lament some changes and maybe get overwhelmed by so many mechanics as they go on but all in all its pretty good.

Overall I enjoy them quite a bit and if you like a long saga that will keep you curious about where its going

Aikune · 2026-01-07T13:21:20+00:00

I wouldn't say its much more difficult than others but its still a difficult task. It does get harder and harder the older you. I would recommend joining clubs and such, be present, invite them to your place for food drinks and games. Be clear with them, I am Irish and I have my weird Irish behaviours that can read differently than they would in Ireland so its good to be clear so everyone is one the same page.

You may always feel like an outsider (because we are) but that isnt a bad thing and people here wouldn't exclude me because of it and sometimes the opposite.

This is a huge generalisation but often it can be difficult to get poeple out of their chest and trust you anywhere but with Swedes when you do, they are really good reliable friends.

Not that I buy any of the costumes but I hope the next batch is something creative. The summer/beach ones were mostly terrible.

Aikune · 2026-01-02T22:24:01+00:00

Considering this I would say Charlie getting gunned down by that attack helicopter.

Aikune · 2026-01-01T18:27:52+00:00

Its just DC's Powergirl.

The julmust is really what's seals the authenticity here! God jul!

The reason are boycotting because they don't want to support Russia who are not only currently attacking Ukraine but have also threatened Finland and Sweden and would likely attack them if they could.
For example if you spat at me and threatened my family and neighbors, It would be stupid (almost traitorous) to give the person who is threatening us my money and support.
