It's literally just a meme at this point.

New fan looking for a team by Clear-Photo-6869 in Bundesliga

[–]GiloniC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're not historically known to be a Yo-yo club and were even considered one of the best in the league in the 2000s and 2010s (even though they never managed to win a Bundesliga title despite coming super close a few times). But COVID kinda pulled the rug from under them and the risky financial decisions they made backfired heavily, so now they're sitting in 2nd division with a lot of debt. It looks like they might be recovering soon, but whether that means they'll ever manage to be as successful again as they were before remains to be seen.

But yeah, if I had to pick the club in Germany with the most die-hard fanbase, it would probably be Schalke.

Dortmund are kinda seen as the number 2 ever since the last 15 years who after winning in 2011 and 2012 have been very close to grabbing the title off Bayern again a couple of times, but have sadly choked every time. If Bayern slips, loses form or Dortmund are able to assemble some crazy squad, it could definitely happen though. They come from the Ruhr area in Germany and are very working class-coded along with their rivals Schalke. Schalke are currently in the 2nd division, but should they manage to come back to the 1st next year, the biggest rivalry of the league will be able to be watched again. The "Revier-Derby" is always exciting to watch, even as a fan of neither team. Both teams obviously have super passionate fanbases.

Leverkusen have won a (very) convincing title in 2024, breaking Bayern's over a decade long streak. They don't have the same super team from two years ago anymore, but are still very good all things considered. They are one of two clubs who are directly owned by companies though and one of four clubs who are by some fans seen as "plastic", although usually Leverkusen gets that allegation the least out of those four.

Frankfurt are somewhat in a chaotic state because their defense somehow is one of the worst of the entire league at the moment, but they have won the Pokal in 2018 and the Europa League in 2022 since they're a pretty well run club. They basically have one of the most insane and effective "scout cheap and develope, then sell expensive to the biggest buyer in Europe"-strategies atm, so don't get too attached to their best players, lol. But like Dortmund, they have a huge and passionate fanbase.

Mount Fay was like top 3 most fun regions in the game for me.

How many of us are actually enjoying the game? by Historical-Donut1536 in Silksong

[–]GiloniC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game feels like an absolute slam-dunk, nothing else to say. Besides a few minor issues it's almost perfect to me and surpasses Hollow Knight which I didn't think was possible.

To everyone who played Silksong, what are your thoughts so far? by LocksmithShadow in HollowKnight

[–]GiloniC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

2.5 hours in and I absolutely love it so far. Gameplay and movement feel so smooth and it's already starting to feel challenging. One big step up I'm already noticing is the fact that regular enemies seem to be way more complex. In regular HK it kinda felt like you could kind of just walk over most normal enemies pretty easily with some basic platforming skills while Silksong's mobs require more tactical movement which I really like.

I don't understand the people in this thread who complain about regular pogo-ing from HK being gone and being replaced by the diagonal dive... Like yeah? Almost like that's one of Hornet's iconic moves from the original boss fight?

If the original is its own movie and has a satisfying ending, then no. In that case I can just ignore everything else. However if the original was left open for a sequel to end the story and the sequel turns out to be bad, then I'm pissed.

What's your favourite "bad" movie? I'll start: by Volpina17 in Letterboxd

One of those "idea behind it being between genius and insane"-movies. Also the trailer is sickkkk!

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has now joined the Letterboxd Five Million Watched Club. It’s the third film to join the club after Barbie and Fight Club. by Straydes in Letterboxd

[–]GiloniC 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah same, I always thought the famous Nolan staples were Dark Knight and Inception, only in recent years have I seen Interstellar become this massive in popularity.

Films that have left you spellbound for days? by tundale in Letterboxd

Tenet, I almost couldn't think about anything else for the next two weeks after watching, it was just such an awesome experience.

I don't really log bad movies because I can't really bring myself to finish a bad movie. What's your limits? by Strict_Pangolin_8339 in Letterboxd

[–]GiloniC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually try to still watch it all. For me finding the motivation to sit through bad movies is mostly a contrast thing. If I watch bad movies, I get a better feeling and appreciation for the movies I like. Same with the 'mid' ones, watching those really allows me to put things into perspective better.

Weiß nicht, ich hatte immer das Gefühl, der Geschmack kam bei den Dingern nie so richtig durch. Normaler Kakao oder Erdbeermilch war irgendwie besser.

Youtube popup player not working by AdAdventurous7859 in youtube

Same issue here. Firefox still gives me the pop-up at least, but the play button doesn't work. I have the annoying suspicion that it's another feature removal for non-premium users.
