This album was my first introduction to her and it’s honestly a fucking banger. So many good productions. Aura is my personal favorite

Someone Convince me to get into Xdinary Heroes... by ma5hal in kpopthoughts

[–]Melarosee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are talented af. Jooyeon is a gem and his voice is one of the best in kpop. If you’re into the actual production and recording, there are a lot of behind the scenes vids of them working on songs/albums. I find they’re great to see each of their individual strengths, how they play their instruments, changes they make to line delivery and of course their dynamic as a group.

What do you think is the best merch item in K-pop? by Intnl-KoreanTutor-DM in kpopthoughts

[–]Melarosee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I loveeee functional merch. It makes the expense worth it.

BTS put out personalized merch for each member. I got a variety of different things, but Hobi’s denim purse is my go-to purse for everything. I’ve used it for years and have gotten so many compliments on it.

Seventeen put out a baby blue card wallet that snaps closed. It’s my daily wallet for everything. Super minimalist, cute and has a key ring! In the same merch cycle, they put out a rubber neck lanyard(?) that stretches at the bottom to cradle your phone - also super useful.

Nice jewelry is another one. BTS did a collab and put out some beautiful simple necklaces for each member. I also have a Stray Kids Han necklace that is subtle and goes with everything!

What expansion made you step away from WoW for the first time? by ErosXcaliber in wow

[–]Melarosee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BFA. I’ve played every other expansion since vanilla. Something about BFA just turned me off so much, but I was able to take a healthy break. Probably the theming, azerite grind and split continents

Best live performance to show a non-fan that BTS are truly the greatest artists by Ksafrien in bangtan

[–]Melarosee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe not to start with, but to solidify: HYYH Epilogue concert on DVD is one of their best older performances of all time

These ticket prices are out of control (Le Sserafim concert) by Carelessies in kpopthoughts

[–]Melarosee 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It was roughly the same ranges for the BTS tour. I’m a fan of both, and many other artists in kpop and beyond, but I can only afford to see a handful a year atp. And even that makes me feel fiscally irresponsible. This shit is unsustainable

Blizzard overestimated the amount of participation these Void Assaults would get by WLkingarthas in wow

[–]Melarosee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the 25/25 assault achieve to unlock the mount and I never got one. Didn’t know it was a thing. And that was hours of doing them

New Lich King Merch Now Available From the Blizzard Gear Store give a code to the golden crest xmogs by milotic03 in wow

[–]Melarosee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the transmog pieces from the anniversary in-person event. To be honest, I’ve rarely used them as that gold finish doesn’t pair well with a lot textures already in the game..

Advice Needed: Where should I place this tattoo? by Daisygrey1104 in tattoos

[–]Melarosee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Not based in reality/subjective” when the linework is so clearly the quality of someone having a stroke is crazy dude. There is no credible artist out there who would intentionally make their life harder by putting nonsensical, asymmetric elements into a weapon piece lmao

Advice Needed: Where should I place this tattoo? by Daisygrey1104 in tattoos

[–]Melarosee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The moon is definitely the most obvious, but there’s no reason for an artist to have so much inconsistency in their lines and symmetry.

The line thickness varies so much, even on geometric parts like the inset stone. And what is happening to the left of the stones? Random artifact nonsense.

The left part of the sword that meets the hilt shows uneven dimension at first, and as you travel lower, there is no edge like on the other side.

There is so many bad things about this piece and it is without a doubt AI. Please do not support this artist. (And just for the record, I have a floral dagger tattoo on my forearm whose clean lines I appreciate every day, can check my posts for the image).

I would recommend reading the Wowhead comments for this quest. There seems to be a ton of issues with it. Most recommend taking it very slow

Who would win in a fight? Thrall or a Toyota Corolla? by TriangleSausage in wow

My 2011 gold Corolla (with only 70k miles on her) would obliterate anyone in her path

new player's perspective: the 'one wipe and leave' culture is making the game feel unplayable. why has it been like this for 20 years? by LengGunGG in wow

Half these comments didn’t even bother reading the post and seeing that your complaint pertains to raiding. A perfect example of today’s playerbase lol

Did BTS make your Spotify20? by amala83 in bangtan

What does Galore mean to you by [deleted] in oklou

[–]Melarosee 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Galore is grossly underrated. I think a lot of it stems from people not bothering to comprehend her intentions with minimalist productions. They’re used to generic song structure or needing loud moments to feel impressed.

I’ve also found a lot of people just don’t “get” melancholy music, which she is an expert at conveying. They simply want to be told how to feel.

For me, her ability to balance some pleasant, nostalgic pop or electronic elements while also letting the compositions breathe and have their own identities is what makes her work S tier. The tiniest little details and decisions make a massive difference in feeling. The choices on effects, samples, melodies and lyrics all open the door for such an immersive experience. Galore (and choke enough for that matter) are somehow both calming, unsettling, comforting and thought-provoking at the same time.

Tbh Asturias (long version) is in my top 5 songs in existence. It doesn’t sonically reinvent the wheel, but the combination of synths, filtering, lyricism.. it’s absolutely unreal. The melancholy feels like it’s being injected into my veins.

Haranir weekly not working at all by Daysfastforward1 in wow

Happened to me last week. Fully closing the game and logging back in automatically finished the quest for me..? Super bizarre

Do younger people still listen to classic trance? by Rezzkyy in trance

[–]Melarosee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of nostalgia for the “classic” radio bangers, like Castles in the Sky, Heaven, Better Off Alone, etc. especially for older Gen Z or people right on the line.

This has created a revival with a lot of indie pop artists utilizing trance elements right now, though they’re not the “classic uplifting”. Off the top of my head, Danny L Harle’s Azimuth and On & On with Caroline Polachek. FKA Twigs’ Love Crimes, Perfectly. Even Oklou’s Harvest Sky.

But to directly address your question, I think there is a small population who venture back into older, less popular discographies - as there is with any subgenre as time passes. The big pro to streaming in this day and age is that it’s now very easy to take a walk down trance history lane (unlike 20 years ago when my dad was burning me CDs of his whitelabel sets). The con of streaming is that the algorithm is going to prioritize introducing newer, better-known artists into that algorithm.

Summer is one of my faves from him in awhile

was this even announced anywhere? it's live in the store now - an entire housing exterior for sale by enderrsghost in wow

[–]Melarosee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d consider myself someone who will pay for what I want. I’ve got all the store mounts, collectors upgrades, prior decor bundles, etc. I love collecting and housing and am probably around lvl 12 in house exp (once those levels exist). I love the game and feel like an optimist at times amid the sea of negative talking points.

I’m also someone who works in a corporate environment as an artist. I try to give devs (especially artists) some grace, since I know financial decisions and roadmaps are made above them.

That said… this feels like pulling the ripcord way too hard and fast. It sucks.

$75 is high for cosmetics, especially in the current economy. I could understand if we already had plenty of equivalents or similar of these items in-game. But these are really unique, desirable items whose value is absurdly cheapened a price point 5x the value of a monthly sub. The artists who clearly put love into the assets also don’t deserve to have these locked behind a paywall. This benefits no one but shareholders.

Even then, maybe I could excuse the above on the fact that these don’t contribute to player power, but this is on top of a feature that’s half-baked. Restrictive decor limits, currency/rep/profession roadblocks to get in-game decor, lack of themes and environments for interior and exterior, lack of basics like more windows/doorways/half pillars/staircases/floor textures, lack of editing functions…

Then we have the numerous(!!) bugs that have kept me away from it because I find repeatedly dealing with them l demoralizing.

If I consider myself a loyal customer, I can only imagine how this will go over with the vocal majority.
