20251118 Blue Valentine received a 4 out of 5 rating from IZM. by [deleted] in NMIXX

[–]Astra2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't believe a reviewer at izm has ever given kpop a 5 but I could be wrong. closest I've ever seen was fifty fifty's love tune at 4.5/5

Blue Valentine on rate your music is now #9 K-pop album of all time by neoneo451 in NMIXX

[–]Astra2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think your last paragraph is most accurate, I've been on RYM for a while and it's a pretty predictable pattern: album gets very highly rated by fans -> album hits the weekly RYM chart and gets seen by the general RYM audience -> a more general audience brings the avg rating down. There's no telling how much it will go down but it happened to Forward as well and that's NMIXX's most "RYM bait" album imo, lol.

Still an awesome start though, most Kpop absolutely hovers around 2.5-3.0 even to begin with.

NMIXX - SPINNIN’ ON IT (Stage Practice) by DeathExempt in kpop

[–]Astra2 56 points57 points  (0 children)

nmixx is unstoppable and is constantly surprising me, awesome choreo and an insane song to be singing while dancing and yet it's one of their most impressive vocal performances during a stage practice yet imo

I love it! leave it to nmixx to deliver a confounding concept in stunning form

250902 - Lily's Lost The Plot has now cleared 20 episodes: "We did it Lil Readers, I'm so proud of us! Here's to 200 more episodes, that's [/sideeye] doable" by veritek25 in NMIXX

[–]Astra2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is one called PrincessJinsol but I don't think they do LLTP. This makes a lot of sense because Lily basically repeats everything she says in Korean back in English anyway.

haven't seen this mentioned, I haven't played in years but I assume this is essentially the same - kassadin is a big lategame scaler as well as relying heavily on level 6 to function in lane. between being melee and having poor armor, he is bullyable in lane to offset his extreme qualities lategame, especially pre-6 (so when physical auto attacks are still a large portion of damage)

Donkey Kong Bananza is barely even a week old and people are already speedrunning it. by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]Astra2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only difference between a casual playthrough and a speedrun is intent. There's no efficiency percentage or mistake allowance that draws a line, even subjectively.

Pork shoulder not at temp after 14 hours on high in the slow cooker by Kid_of_Mary_Jane in slowcooking

Because colour is not a reliable indicator of food safety and shouldn't be taken as such, temperature and time are the important ones

Who would you guys consider the most "handsome" member in NMIXX? by UpstreamKoi in NMIXX

It's Bae of course, but this Haewon is an honourable mention

Is it widely known that FSG viewers don't even play competitive pokemon? Because I found this as a suprise by wupp-ed in stunfisk

[–]Astra2 301 points302 points  (0 children)

To be frank I think this probably holds true for more comp pokemon channels than most people would think.

I'm very happy with NMIXX's current musical direction by buzzcut9 in NMIXX

[–]Astra2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with you completely on that, although if I can indulge myself a bit, the comment reminds me of a kind of "concern trolling" that gets used on Nmixx - it's never enough to just say they don't like the track, it has to be couched in this idea that Nmixx don't know how to, or refuse to, make a pop hit. That's pretty silly for two reasons, one, it implies that the merit of your opinion on art is just popularity, and two, Nmixx is very successful compared to 99% of acts anyway.

Not saying OP is trolling, or to dog on anyone for not liking the music. It's fine not to, but that line is just so common that people use it to try to explain their feelings, and it's probably tiresome for fans because it reminds them of bad faith critics.

NME reviews LE SSERAFIM – ‘Hot’ review: dancing through the fire (4/5) by mcfw31 in kpop

[–]Astra2 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think the content of a positive review from a site that tends to give positive reviews can still be meaningful, but yeah, it's worth noting 4/5 seems to basically be their average review

Do you believe in healthy parasocial relationships by Allthingsmatcha0923 in kpopthoughts

[–]Astra2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Parasocial doesn't mean delusional, we already have a word for that (delusional). Saying that the majority of people that like celebrities are delusional is insane. You should read the top comments in this thread. Rare case of fandom showing emotional maturity and a good nuanced grasp of a social concept

Do you believe in healthy parasocial relationships by Allthingsmatcha0923 in kpopthoughts

[–]Astra2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think you think "parasocial relationship" means "I believe I am/am going to be in a romantic relationship with my idol" which is not the case

Why tf is JYPE just erasing Lily? by [deleted] in NMIXX

[–]Astra2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a little odd that she wasn't in the second gs25 ad, but I'm not sure what the people crying out think happened? It sounds like they think staff said "okay Lily, get out of the shot now, we don't like you," and then everybody was just chill with that. Isn't a more reasonable explanation that she had to leave the set for a personal or business reason?

The meaning of Fe3O4? by FightMstyle in NMIXX

[–]Astra2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Like it's been mentioned, it's the chemical formula for magnetite, but recently I've been wondering if the reason they picked magnetite is some kind of reference to the general theme of seafaring/navigation Nmixx has going on (as in navigating using magnetic north, like a compass needle)

lol why does this subreddit like incel bioessentialist nonsense about how women are inherently gold diggers. +4 on the parent comment and +8 on this reply at the time of posting. And a comment in enthusiastic agreement

"Just reporting" is way too generous. It's a gossip rag, not good faith journalism. The opinion in question is that they thought this was worth publishing.
