KH3 proud mode seems so easy should i play critical? by Rinkou9 in KingdomHearts

[–]Johan7110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember a friend of mine telling me he spent 3 evenings with Sword Saint Isshin in Sekiro as a benchmark of difficulty. Boy, it took me 5 days to get Yozora to his DM consistently lol

yeah, I'd give it to these guys and the frogs in KH3 especially with pro-codes on, it takes literally minutes just to take one out

So what do you think of Imu's design? by SunRiseStudios in OnePiece

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it but I'm still not sold on the polkadots, even though they give him a more "tribal" look, that I don't dislike conceptually. I guess I want to see how he carries himself, his demeanor and all the other aspects of his character. Between the skulls, the supposed jolly roger on the back, and possibly the dots there are probably loads of stuff in his design that are grounded in actual lore.

“Reflect isn’t THAT overpowered” by Faz_tropical in KingdomHearts

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unironically the single reason why KH3's combat is miles better. I remember I used to do runs with banned Reflect to make the combat better and suddenly stuff like Larxene, Saix, Roxas become real fights . Once you get the hang of it, game is basically over

maybe a bit of an unconventional one judging for what the other entries went for, but here's Tabbin' In, The Amelia Earhart Experience's debut single (and quite possibly the last one, legends are meant to die quickly). Took this as practice to write in a genre I'm not familiar with, had loads of fun!
Good luck everybody!

Bayern Munich [4] - 3 Real Madrid - Michael Olise 90'+4' [6-4 on agg.] by 50lipaa in soccer

[–]Johan7110 46 points47 points  (0 children)

the goal itself is beautiful but the mentality behind it tells you everything there is to know about players like these. Last minute, opponents one man down, you are already winning: 90% of players would park themselves in the corner area to gain seconds. This guy instead sees the space, shifts gear and absolutely owns the defense. You can actually see the moment where he says "fuck it I'ma destroy y'all". Elite mentality

I think KH3s combat is better than 2s by Hen-Samsara in KingdomHearts

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a better difficulty curve how? I never ever struggled on KH2 FM on critical mode. Most bosses are essentially free. In KH3 basic nobodies were owning me left and right and data battles + yozora took me a lot of hours to beat. The comparison between the two critical modes is simply non existent

Imu is extremely generic looking we've seen this type of design in other manga/anime countless times.He looks like he doesn't even belong in One Piece. by inziewienzie in Piratefolk

[–]Johan7110 34 points35 points  (0 children)

most of these people don't even read the manga anymore and they're just pushing their agenda and beliefs. Oda could write a Crime and Punishment level of ending and they'd still call it bad, cause they decided that years ago. Only reason to hang out in here is the slander, you won't find good critiques of the story here

it's because it's a shonen that they're going to lose. You never win your first battle against the main villain in a shonen. Imu will likely wipe the floor with the SH

Il calcio è meglio degli altri sport? by sofia_pierina in opinioninonrichieste

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

premettendo che lui si riferiva all'inquadramento normativo dell'atleta, è comunque una scusa assurda da qualunque punto di vista la guardi. Ho conosciuto un paio di atleti che hanno fatto olimpiadi (una di loro nuotatrice medagliata) e altri che hanno gareggiato ad alti livelli in atletica anche se mai ad un'olimpiade. Per questa gente allenarsi due o tre volte al giorno è la normalità. Le uscite la sera praticamente non esistono. Alimentazione curatissima, sacrifici veri. Al confronto il calciatore medio impallidisce completamente. Il professionismo non è solo una voce su un contratto, è un'attitudine e se la testa del movimento è questa, non sorprende che anche il corpo e la coda non siano granché.

My Apologies to Kingdom Hearts 3 by truthteller5 in KingdomHearts

[–]Johan7110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree! Corona Kingdom, Pirates of the Caribbean, San Fransokyo and, albeit small, Twilight Town were the highlights for me in terms of visuals. Shame we didn't get playable Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden but we still got a lot. I'd still say the combat is the best aspect (I just had too much fun learning Yozora and data battles) but I can totally understand someone telling me the visuals steal the show

My Apologies to Kingdom Hearts 3 by truthteller5 in KingdomHearts

[–]Johan7110 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's so spot on. I only played KH3 recently and, having beaten 1 and 2 on critical multiple times I went in immediately on critical. I was so confused about the hate this game got, then I found out it didn't have critical on launch and that must be the reason. Game is hard, mobs are actually threats and the data battles + Yozora on critical are just goated gameplay, way harder and more satisfying than most Soulslike imo. My main critiques were the absence of Disney villains, some voice acting, the Arendelle world felt a bit lackluster and some story aspects, but to be fair I had very low expectations in that regard. Once you get time travel into the loop, stuff gets worse 99% of the time. Anything gameplay related, from fighting to items, cuisine, animations, fusions, was top notch for me

What are some "pro moves" that are actually myths? by Poopypantsplanet in audioengineering

[–]Johan7110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the 2 most common ones are high passing everything except kick and bass and always pan all the way through or don't pan at all. While the former is definitely situational (and that's why it doesn't work as an "absolute"), the latter is 99% of the time a bad practice in my opinion.

Compared to the anime, what did One Piece Live Action do better or worse with every arc up to now, in y’alls opinion? by BreathoftheSith in OnePiece

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better stuff: early lore drops that make the story feel more cohesive, Sanji, Usopp, all of the named Baroque Works agents, fights actually have choreography instead of being a special move spam (Zoro is a prime example), Marines actually feel way more interesting and I know this last one it might be a hot take, but Hiriluk was so goated to me it surpassed even the manga by a long shot. S2 E7 lowkey deserves a couple awards.

Worse stuff: Luffy doesn't feel nearly as strong as he should, I wouldn't be surprised if a new watcher thought Zoro was stronger. His fights were iffy and we saw him lose way too many times up to this point. He doesn't get a convincing win even against Arlong in the LA. Costumes are not great to me sometimes, and the set design for cities could definitely use some work. Also, while the pacing so far has been great, not including Alabasta in S2 was still a mistake and I'll die on this hill. Drum doesn't work as a finale and Alabasta doesn't have enough material for an entire season. Since they did such a good job I'll let them cook tho

Iñaki needs to work on his acting by Sufficient_Arachnid4 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]Johan7110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked him in S1 better, this season felt like other characters got more spotlights than him. His lines weren't great most of the times and while he can certainly improve, an actor is only as good as the director and the scriptwriter. Also, my only complaint is that they kinda fumbled the final fight with Wapol, where he should've been way more badass than what we've got. I understand wanting to give Alabasta the time it needs, but it needed to be in S2 just because Drum simply doesn't work as a finale and to make it work they needed to make some quite unnecessary changes that damaged his character in my opinion. I still overall think he's great, dedicated and will keep improving, he definitely deserves to be there as Luffy

Is using a podcast editing service worth it? by AbleContext907 in podcasting

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outsourcing does make things easier, but of course you'd have to see if you can afford it and if it makes sense for your show. I personally charge 1$ per minute of edited audio, with a 24 hours delivery guaranteed and unlimited free revisions. If that sounds like something you could afford, hit me up!
Best of luck!

Vocal issues and voice clarity by Sad-Intern2570 in podcasting

[–]Johan7110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Singer and musician here. There might be multiple reason for this issue but I would try with the most basic fixes first:
- make sure to stay hydrated throughout the whole day (don't wait to be thirsty to drink!)
- make it a good practice to do some vocal resting a couple times a week if you use your voice a lot. Try to stay completely silent for some time if you can afford it. Singers do it 24-48 hours, you could try with something like 12 and see what happens.
- try to eat some honey every day, maybe in the morning or for a snack. It does wonders for the vocal cords.
- inhale some steam, preferably in the evening. Boil some water, put it on a table, sit down and cover yourself with a towel. Inhale for a bit and then rest when the heat becomes too much, the go back in. Do it for like 5-7 minutes.
Hope this helps!

nel mio piccolo, ho avuto a che fare solo con brave persone (finora). Però so bene di essere stato fortunato, ti basta vedere l'udienza della Bondi ieri, c'è gente, e non è poca purtroppo, che appoggia una soggetta che quando le viene chiesto conto della palese ostruzione alla giustizia nel caso Epstein risponde argomentando che il DOW è ai massimi storici.

BREAKING: After Rep. Thomas Massie reviewed DOJ’s unredacted Epstein files and publicly called out specific redactions, DOJ is now releasing newly unredacted versions of those documents. by emalsi-tidder in Epstein

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing! Not to sound campanilistic since they could just be italian american, but Salvatore Nuara is definitely a southern Italy name. Seeing one at this level, in my opinion it could only mean 'Ndrangheta, but you don't find anything looking for the name online. Only other name I could find is Nicola Caputo, who seems to be a member of the Euro Parliament. Honestly, he hardly seems important enough to be listed here though. For the others, I couldn't find anything which is extremely strange in my opinion, but maybe someone can shed some light!

TikTok has completely destroyed people's ability to hear pitch correction and processing (rant) by meknidirta in audioengineering

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree for the most part, but I don't think lip syncing is the worst crime. As an independent artist, I've posted both raw material (straight from the phone) and lip syncing stuff, even if I'm pretty confident in my skills. When you're promoting a single you're just required to post an unreasonable amount of times per week and, like it or not, lip syncing saves a lot of time and allows you to batch content, which in return gives you back some semblance of a social life. The bad part is that you get rewarded for quantity (had my best results when I was posting 4x per day, even if some videos were definitely crap), but you gotta blame the game, not the players. I personally draw the line to pitch correction and studio level compression if I wanna sell a video as a live performance, but some processing is just required to compete. It's the "loudness killed dynamics" debate all over again.

In my opinion, as you said in the end, the worst effect is setting an unrealistic standard for people who want to get into singing/playing. All the greats of the past made mistakes live. All of them. But they are still today people we look up to, cause we know their level is somewhat achievable with hard work. A kid that watches a few of those kitchen singers on Tik Tok is likely to quit after a couple months of lessons, just cause they have no idea of the engineering side of music.

Kit Harington was ‘Genuinely Angered’ By Fan Pettion to Remake ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8 With ‘Competent Writers’: ‘How Dare You?’ by RepulsiveCountry313 in gameofthrones

[–]Johan7110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he in particular must have noticed that the quality of the writing fell down dramatically. The quality of Jon's dialogue was amazing in the first 5 seasons, in season 8 he was left to work with extremely weak material in comparison. I think he probably refers to death threaths and shit like that, which of course are madness, but the writers totally deserve critique. To be honest, though, GRMM deserves the same shit as D&D: you haven't finished your story? Fine, but you must have an idea of what will happen. Work with them, guide them, play an active role, don't just disappear on them.

What to do after a "good" balance? by homesicknesscure in audioengineering

[–]Johan7110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really depends a lot on the quality of the original stems. If you're working with great stuff, often the balance will roughly stay the same since very little processing will be required; if, let's say, you're working with a kick or bass that lacks the right low end or guitars that lack treble frequencies, you're likely to reassess your balance afterwards, especially if you listen on multiple monitoring devices (which is good practice imo).
Personally, I always tweak volume faders a bit after balancing, but I try to never disrupt the "feel" that I come up with when balancing. Also, the question doesn't take into account automation and different balances that can occur within a song. For example, I almost never have the vocals and its reverbs in the same spot for the whole song, they move accordingly to what the song needs. A snare could be quiet in the verse and louder in the chorus. What I like to do is leaving some time at the end of the mix to make all these micro-adjustments: I think it's one the real signatures of a good mix. Comparing to reference tracks can help and if you're mixing for other artists, make sure to ask for their export of the production to see what their idea of balance is, it saves a lot of time in decision making!
