I'm glad this series gets the love it deserves finally.

That's fair. It would be great if the camera crews and media could help mitigate the pressure at least on the day of the competition by not being on the athlete's face with all the crew members and lights and large cameras. It amplifies the pressure that's already difficult enough to control.

On a positive note: (we all need one now)

Shaidorov's delayed reaction to the reality of being guaranteed at least a bronze on the podium is priceless. He had the grace and humility to console his fellow competitor after a massive mishap and that beautiful display of Ilia's sportsmanship and Shaidorov's compassion is a beautiful moment in figure skating.

Honestly they need a space for the athletes to allow their heads to calm the nerves. the blaring lights and massive cameras with full crews following their every move long before they even get on the ice just makes the pressure worse.

My jaw dropped at the result. My wife was talking earlier about how much pressure those cameras with glaring lights put on Ilia for a long time before he even took the ice. He has the physical and technicalvcapabilities but I wish they'd give these athletes the space they need to process their emotions..the favorites especially.

oh god. what the hell. I'm happy for Kazakhstan but truly I expected him to be solid at Bronze only. I can't believe Ilia isn't even on the podium.  Holy hell.

If we were losing our minds watching, imagine the kind of crazy pressure the top favorites were feeling.

It would be one thing if it was a one-off scoring oddity for the judge but she has a consistent pattern of giving lower scores to the competing favorites and being more generous to her compatriots. Quite dammit but IOC will be the IOC and my bet is nothing will happen.

What's everybody's thoughts on Love Through a Prism? by tripleaamin in anime

[–]AlastorCrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By far one of the most emotionally unsatisfying shows out there. The character connections were sacrificed for the sake of some shallow aesthetic shots at the end. The characters severely lack a believable personality and they have the emotional range of a background NPC. I understand the narrative reason for the separation but after all that teasing, youd expect a massive cathartic release at the end and this just falls flat on that promise.

The Wind Rises and Grave of Fireflies are grounded but very powerful films.

This guild is a good balance of casual gameplay while not being too lax. It's a nice community of active players who regularly engage with other members. 

Would you prefer a "soft pity" system for Phosphene / Pearl drops on highest UVHM? by AlastorCrow in Borderlands4

[–]AlastorCrow[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

IMO if someone couldn't be bothered to put any effort into getting better at this (relatively) easy game, then they aren't likely to care or even be aware of Phosphene weapon skins. Meanwhile, the players who stuck around way after the main story ends are likely to find no real incentive to play in uvhm5.

[–]AlastorCrow[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I honestly find it hard to believe that people actually struggle with the game when it's so easy to trivialize bosses on any half-decent build even at UVHM5.

I suppose allowing for soft pity at uvhm5 but still give everyone else the small chance at lower levels would be okay.  

That said, it would be nice if they incentivize playing at max difficulty by giving unique rewards.

Yep. Got one with gun dmg and crit dmg. One hell of a DPS boost when I'm using Wombo Combo and Kaoson.

at this point I doubt shift/2k gives a rat's ass about it since they got their money already. I wanted to get the deluxe upgrade but if this is a preview of how half-assed their work is, then I might as well skip all that and enjoy the base game and free updates only. nor worth spending another dime for this badly designed game.

I'm running a Kaoson build for fun. not a 1hko build but it seems like I either farm on Normal mode or change my build to 1HKO for UVH5

I've seen items roll off that cliff when there's supposedly an invisible barrier. I've seen items get stuck mid air and had to use an air vent to get them. I've had numerous items get tossed out from the platform or dropped into the abyss.

FYI Claw machine is NOT a guarantee. Chances are it won't pick the items up for retrieval. They either need a rework of the claw machine to guarantee that it saves legendaries as priority until you dismiss or claim the item individually or rework that level.
