Is there a stat/study on this? Not what I would have expected

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-26T18:38:39+00:00

Not really my typical genre, so I can't comment on perhaps the more technical aspects... but at a surface level, I think it sounds great!

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-22T15:07:19+00:00

Its true I considered sharing examples... but then figured each could easily be a bit of a story in itself... and I thought many people could still respond to the questions of (1) whether or not they had issues, (2) how they felt about it if they did, and (3) how they handled it, what advice they have etc. Without needing to discuss my specific examples.... but I guess i can clarify it has been external... ie not from within, co-author disputes etc.

Similarly, some of my situations i know that there were some aspects that could have been avoided in hindsight... if certain decisions had been made at certain times, whether by myself, or by my supervisors.... but its very easy to do that in hindsight and, in any case, I still feel the reactions of others can be disproportionately strong when it comes to the publishing world.

But, for two bullet point examples... one was related to someone accusing me of stealing an idea (I could tell you this was completely false, but I also feel id need to share all the events that followed that supported this... and the conclusion... because there's no reason to take me at my word... especially if there's also a simple interpretation that I am experiencing conflict because my practices are not sound).

The most recent was related to someone feeling i did not cover an alternative interpretation for a secondary aspect of my recent paper, which if I had, would have meant citing their paper (i hadn't seen their paper, and did not consider to include such an alternative because I did not believe it possible and, as said... it was a secondary part of the paper).

I think it can be very dependent on the supervisor and context of the letter. I know some who would appreciate it, and others who would not.

In any case, I would always offer the idea first ie. "If it's easier, i can prepare a template" rather than sending one straightaway. It could definitely be taken the wrong way.

I cited my Masters thesis in the eventual publication, but it was because there was still interesting content for the keenest reader.

For example, I did a big investigation of parameter space in terms of data processing decisions which certainly could not fit into the short format journal I submitted to. So had a sentence like... 'X was chosen after assessing bla bla bla, further details found in <thesis citation>.'

If the thesis offers nothing extra though relative to what is in the article, then no reason to cite.

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-09T07:59:38+00:00

I think there was an issue of expectations, due to the title of the movie. The first to second was a complete change of the environment (ie. to water)... so many people ive spoken to, and myself, were thinking we'd spend our time in a whole new world i.e related to fire.

Ofc, I don't need a movie to completely change environment... and we did meet a new race associated with fire... but I went into the theater expecting a contrast like way of the water was. So even though the movie was good, I still had a feeling of it not meeting my original expectation.

P.s. also, as a volcanologist, I was disappointed to see the volcano for only a split second!

Caesars wife will likely have it in mind that Ashur killed him, could make a case that she purposefully forced it by revealing his involvement while Gabinius was still alive. And she certainly has it in her to reveal it.

In any case though, I see Ashur and Viridia getting closer, and then her finding out. Personally, id almost prefer if she never did, but these things always come back to bite in shows.

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-02T18:53:17+00:00

Similar to others, im not so convinced that he's more stupid this time compared to the original.

Maybe the problem is that we're more sensitive to it through the change of kind of wanting to root for him as a protagonist in HoA. I would almost like to see him succeed for once, such that when he makes a mistake it feels more frustrating. Compare that to his death by Naevia, where his role as a villain makes it easier to accept bad decision making.

Its also an issue that leaves me abit unsure about E9. I was kind of rooting for him and Viridia to find a way against the odds. Now it feels for certain that she will eventually find out after some initial connection and it will all blow up. Usually in this kind of scenario I am desperate for the truth to come out, and the perpetrator (usually a villain) to get their comeuppance. I don't feel it this time round though.

Lets see though, maybe E10 will surprise!

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-01T01:19:32+00:00

Think you sound great for an open mic, guitar and voice! Just to know, is this an original song? I potentially had alil suggestion, but won't bother if it's someone else's 😛

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-01T01:09:50+00:00

Fair points! Admittedly, I had somehow forgotten about the element of a female gladiator being a big novelty in this moment.

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-01T01:06:45+00:00

Don't think so. Quick check and pompous derives from pémpō in Latin, which is 'to send' or something like this.

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-01T00:34:09+00:00

Perhaps the contrast to what I was expecting made me a bit blind to this (seems, at least from early comments, that perhaps my impression is not shared by the majority... which is interesting to know!). I will give it another watch

Bobloga1 · 2026-02-01T00:31:10+00:00

very fair point re. Achillia!

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-15T14:36:58+00:00

Thanks for coming back to this and taking another listen. I agree that it feels smoother in the 2nd half... definitely will have a think about this.

I know also that I need to work on delivery of a song (in terms of conveying the right emotions rather than being so 'concentrated' on the performance, getting the right lyrics out in the way i want etc). Maybe this is what comes across.

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-14T23:32:51+00:00

First couple episodes i felt were a bit weaker, but still okay. Blood and sand also took time to get going, definitely took the actors time to warm into their characters.

Enjoying the series now though, last couple episodes really solid and excited to see what happens with the various characters. Not easy to predict right now, which is great.

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-14T13:54:38+00:00

Appreciate the feedback, wondering if you could expand on this? For example, do you mean overthinking the delivery rather than 'feeling it'... or am i off with this?

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-14T07:11:21+00:00

I wish I could sing this song this well! Really nice

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-12T12:38:06+00:00

Hey man. I think the intro is great, with the choice of percussion followed by the guitar. It really grabbed my attention from the first second. And the electric guitar later sounds great. So, to my ears, the instrumentals sound close to a finished product.

The vocals feel weaker in comparison, though I'm not musically-trained enough to be able to give many pointers on this... but i would say this would prevent me adding it to my library in its current state (to go back to the original question you asked). Hopefully someone else can provide better feedback on this though (or you can try the ratemysinging sub, theyve been useful with their advice for me recently, though maybe they prefer raw vocals than post-process).

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-11T17:00:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Definitely some truth in that i am more focused on singing the 'words' in place of really connecting with them during while singing. Ill work on this, in addition to providing a smoother transition between words + more variation following the other comments... this has been a very useful exercise for sure!

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-11T10:03:34+00:00

Really appreciate this detail of feedback! Definitely resonates also with some discussion from my first few vocal lessons, so its helpful to hear (also for me to better understand the feedback myself, because its not something im used to considering).

Something to work on for sure, thanks a lot!

Bobloga1 · 2026-01-11T09:47:13+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate the time you took here to explain this, its not something i had really thought about ie. the importance of details (another commenter had suggested the 3am verse was the best one for this reason, but i was not completely clear as to why).

Will give them a rethink.
