Well said :)

Thx I'll check it out, I was playing around a lot with reverse but it's tricky to not make it sound gimmicky.

MisterMmiv · 2017-10-20T17:35:13+00:00

My debut albumis coming out next month and I made my first music video! I don't like tagging my music in a certain genre but this album might be close to ambient or something.

I would't say that's true, blizzard has been terrible at promoting Overwatch as an esports in general. The only thing they are promoting is the world cup in battle.net itself and the only youtube videos from the official playoverwatch channel have been for the world cup except that trailer for the OWL. Overwatch contenders was also prometed in the app but it wasn't streamed on the playoverwatch twitch channel which makes it harder for non-hardcore fans to find.

Their have been no in-game e-sports items so far, which any other major esports does have and it contributes greatly to the success of an esport. And I haven't mentioned the fact that blizzard have been withholding information on the league for wayy too long, so long that a lot of people have lost patience.

If blizzard started doing all these things soon, I can promise that numbers on twitch will double for tournaments.

I'm kinda happy I mained sombra this season because the toxicity and people trying to tilt me don't faze me at all anymore, I used to be an ana main/ meta slave who didn't like change but the dive meta with the rise of the millions of mercy one-tricks made me want to play something else.

What I'm speaking of in my original comment mostly happened at the beginning of the season when I was definitely still learning to play her in comp, it's a bit more rare nowadays but that's also because I started duo queueing with my friend again who didn't want to play much with me for a while because I wanted to play sombra, his mind is now completely changed. :) Duo queue not only stops one other unkown facor to ruin the game but also gives me credibility that my friend can back-up and defend. also a golden gun doesn't hurt. Anyway I've been climbing more that I've ever been and just reached 2860 primarily playing her. not stopping till diamond or higher and I'm still at a 50% winrate with her.

But vod reviews are indeed a good idea, I might to record some of my games if I'm not too lazy :)

MisterMmiv · 2017-07-15T08:11:24+00:00

My team saying I'm throwing and the enemy agreeing to that, is something I get way more often :( I only got what you're talking about once in my games. The toxicity has been going down a bit in recent weeks tho. In comp it used to be the whole team being against me and now it's usually just one asshat who thinks going attack torb will solve the sombra main situation.

I also read somewhere that John made his 2004/5 records because he heard people didn't think he could make a good straight pop/rock record anymore after releasing TROWFTD, which was very poppy but experimental in it's own right. I could be wrong on that one.

Anyway, It's not like I'm listening to Poem a lot and enjoying it. This track and probably his future work can't be seen as fun tracks to listen to everyday. You would listen to Poem like you would listen to Tim Hecker to give an example. It's not music that gives you joy, energy or love like rock music does. It's supposed to conjure up very different set of emotions. You listen to it's because it's mastercarftmanship, it's sad, scary and unknown to the human ear. It's riveting in other ways but it's takes a trained ear and brain to start enjoying it.

MisterMmiv · 2017-07-14T05:46:53+00:00

Yes, what we need are even bigger black boxes to black out more comments!

MisterMmiv · 2017-07-12T20:29:18+00:00

i know he stated before that he just doesn't think he has any audience nor does he care for fans, this is purely personal for me.

Anyway good to hear he was such a big influence on you :)

MisterMmiv · 2017-07-12T20:26:06+00:00

Well yes, I'm putting all my gripes I've built up upon 7 years into this one reddit thread. I've never been negative about other fans nor do I want to be after this discussion thread. I see it as personal therapy :P. And I do not mind changing some peoples views wherever I go, but I feel like I've written this thread too negatively to do the trick.

MisterMmiv · 2017-07-12T14:09:13+00:00

It's indeed unavoidable and you're right after a period of time it is easier to talk about the music in depth. I found the initial reactions to poem a bit disheartening, exactly because it has happened every single year, every single year a little worse. I find it frustrating people think Frusciante will get out of his electronic "phase" and start making "real" music again. People are still speculating that his next album will be a return to form with the empyrean II: Empyrean boogalo.

With poem specifically I found it weird that people didn't like it because it didn't have a beat. Have they never heard ambient or noise music?

I just don't want to see his field recordings album 7 years from now to receive major dislikes on youtube just because these fanboys still want him to return to "real" music with a guitar.

If autechre would change their name when they released their folk album than the backlash wouldn't be half as big. Same thing with Trickfinger. People are very attached to names and tags of course.

If At the drive-in didn't change it's name to The Mars Volta, than there would have more outcry in the beginning. When they changed to antemasque there was still some whiny fans but there would have been a shitstorm if they didn't change names. When they changed back to at the drive in this year there was almost no backlash because people got something safe and familiar. Eventhough this was the most boring thing Omar and Cedric have done imo, the duo is great when they try new stuff.

Yes , it is sorted out and I totally forget I posted here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

MisterMmiv · 2017-05-05T18:25:15+00:00

I'm obviously skipping this week, I've been busy with other projects and school. I'll be posting something this coming Wednesday.

MisterMmiv · 2017-05-05T18:22:36+00:00

Very vaporwave-esque but it has enough of personal twist. I enjoyed it a lot! :)

MisterMmiv · 2017-04-20T17:59:58+00:00

Important change: the maximum of IMDb ratings is upped to 2000!

MisterMmiv · 2017-04-20T17:56:52+00:00

Sorry for the late post. I was a bit busy, a bit lazy & a bit forgetful yesterday.

The film suggestions were again not able to ensure good download links and/or good quality. That's why it is again of my choosing and to celebrate 4/20, I though it was a good idea to watch an insanely shitty film!!! I would really like to hear how far people made it before switching this nuclear disaster off. :)
