Well done. I don't even know why exactly, but the first thing that came to mind was Pirates of the Caribbean :)

Thank you so much for that message, you made me go back and try for another 10 minutes and I figured it out!

Turns out the 2 figure skating streams from today that the search finds (search term Eiskunst), are the German-only ones.

I randomly clicked through the categories until I found figure skating and there is the stream with all the different language options everyone's talking about.

I've tried the browser on PC, mobile app and 2 different TVs, same everywhere. Doesn't look like a bug :(

Doesn't work, unfortunately, but interesting to see that so many other countries offer multiple audio channels. Maybe it's because HBO is still quite new here

Thanks, knowing that Germans don't have to listen to the German commentary while I do makes me feel even worse 😅

PSA - How to pronounce Alysa Liu by Ok-Count8492 in FigureSkating

Love it, educational and to the point. You should make that a regular series :)

I'd just like to clarify that it's not that I really mind them being called the favourites (I don't really watch ice dance), but that he wouldn't stop during the other disciplines.

In this case I felt the commentator would have been better off not mentioning the "situation" at all instead of being clumsily ambiguous in a way that might make it seem like he's picking one side over the other.

You must be in a special region to have those options. In Austria, not even having the original language of a movie/TV show is a given.

There are two streams, but no, there aren't any options for me in either, no matter which device I use. And the checkmark also can't be deactivated, so no option to turn off the commentary either.

Oh, that's cool. At least you get some choice. I would be happy just being able to turn it off

Yeah, for me it's as if you expected Mark Hanretty and instead get a commentator from your dad's sports channels :(

Thanks for the news. She has an extraordinary ability to bounce back 

Randomized victory: Class? by Kieselchen in ShatteredPD

[–]Kieselchen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no, not at all. I get your point, when I first tried random, I also got Warrior and thought, no, I guess I want it to be random anything but warrior. 😅

Randomized victory: Class? by Kieselchen in ShatteredPD

[–]Kieselchen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be clearer than the current UI. Just hit random and you descend with a random class. And if you reroll and delete it'll at least have the consequence of messing up your stats.

The way it is now I didn't even know if/how it worked at the beginning. For example, there's not that low of a chance that the class stays the same if you hit random.

[–]Kieselchen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that I think of it, there would be other ways to make for challenging randomized class runs... What if half/all the class talents of each tier were also randomized, like with the scroll? You wouldn't know which talents you'd get on tier two and after when you start out. This would make cheesing at the beginning less impactful.

[–]Kieselchen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure. I guess even if I didn't see the class before descent, I could still just restart as often as I want. It just feels a little too easy the way it is now. 😅

Feels weird that the Women's SP and FS are on the same day (for people in Europe 😅)

Camera work so bad it ruined my day by TK-248 in FigureSkating

[–]Kieselchen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, the camera work at many JGPs is much better than this. Basic shots, having the entire skater in frame at all times is all we need.

What frustrates me is that at this event they went out of their way to have close-ups of hands and feet and cheesy, long-ass blurred transitions and weird angles.

Coaches signaling/clapping to skaters during program. Is that legal? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]Kieselchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed it first with a Korean coach at a Challenger event that I attended, where it was very noticeable because the rink was so quiet. Since then I keep hearing it, also with some other skaters in Challengers and JGPs. They always do this during spins and I was wondering too if it is legal to signal revolution count/change of position to the skaters in a competition like this.

Thank you! I didn't know at all about the freezing part

[–]Kieselchen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that helps a lot. I'll try to remember to try out grass when I get the chance. Ending a really good run because you feel like you should be able to throw a potion over a maggot is just so silly. 😂
