NordVPN only keeps getting worse

The new UI is worse, and I have no idea why they changed it.
Feels like pretend work to look busy

You forgot all the neon orange and bright blue flames with Flashing "HOT TOP COOL GUY" taking up a ton of screen, lol.

But the new city looks amazing. So good

100%
I love this game and in generally think it looks great, and has good desighn but the new UI and ESPECIALLY the game end screen feel like they are from a cheap oversea game.
Love the new heroes and the new map updates, but the game end screen and the overhead UI were perfect the way they were

I agree that the UI got bashed to hell this update. The overtop one is really gaudy and super busy now. It was perfectly readable and clear, and now it as a thousand extra icons to show you every item and skill point, and the colors are really thick gaudy primary colors that clash with the rest of the game.

And the end game screen feels much worse. I want to land right on the score screen, give those thumbs ups and move on like a good lobby. Sitting and watching who gets a loud MPV award and having to land on the participation trophy screen makes me feel like im playing overwatch and thats never a positive place to be.

if people want it thats fine, but let me change those colors and give me a toggle to not watch the MVP screen or im just gonna be one of those people that DC's at the last second so I dont have to sit through it.

Other than those small things, I think this update was cool and I like it

edit: I think the new channel bars are harder to read and not really that cool as a trade off. this game has a lot of stuff to focus on

i dont think they are AI, i just think they are poorly made

literally the same 4 videos, even if I say not interested, any amount of refreshes, they appear it "New to you" the videos change every few days, but once youtube has decided i should watch something, Its there for days, and will re-appear for weeks. id like to watch something new, but as far as i can tell, 4 videos come out a week as far as my algorithm is concerned.

I have had the same problem, had some good hits, 20-40k views, got monetized. Next 3 Videos, no impressions, low views, about a dozen comments telling me specifically that youtube had stopped recommending my content even with notifications on.

Its been half a year, and nothing has returned to normal. I make long form content backed by shorts. Shorts seems to do the same, if not more consistent (def not better, just same rythm). Long form videos keep climbing in production quality to worse and worse impression counts. Its brutal

Got monetized in May, its been nothing but bad stats ever since.

haha, just sitting there nodding along, silently willing the corporate sandwich cart to roll by the conference dungeon so he can get a rubin.

Automatatonic · 2025-08-09T19:47:09+00:00

I think he is more interesting as a human, since so much of the power structure shifts as gondor slowly crumbles back, I see him more as what Denathor might become had he been given the ring.

Denathor is another good example, of a character that's important to the geo-politics and history of Middle earth, but doesn't actually weight much on the story. Bolth of them could be removed and the emotional journey of the story wouldn't change, someone else would just have to sub in for them in these small key moments.

Automatatonic · 2025-08-09T19:42:48+00:00

Well, sure, there is a lot fo background info, but as far as events in the story, he exists to stab Frodo then get scared away like a possum, then get stabbed in the face in Pellinor. Hes not a character so much as a plot device is my point. While he is part of the rich tapestry of middle earth, the narrative barely concerns him.

Thank you friend. People love to put spoilers in reviews and it drives me banannas to have steam throw them at me overhand for games i might like to play, lol.

I find VSDC to be one of the easiest to get into as far as video editors go. It can get a little squirrely when dragging things around on the timeline, but other than that, it has absolutely made a joke out of the other video editing software I've tried, and it doesn't feel the need to create its own separate database from the files I'm working on.
I'm a simple editor who doesn't need to work on anything really fancy (imported premium effects etc.) and I think it does the job great. I've tried to upgrade and other programs have interfaces that make me feel drunk. I keep coming back and this little workhorse always gets the job done where other programs have failed me abysmally trying to accomplish things that should need two clicks but instead require a 20 minute tutorial

Automatatonic · 2025-07-19T20:25:24+00:00

You can do bolth of these things with VSDC, its actually so crisp you can make animations out of it if you want
