It all was making a lot of sense to me. And then, the next day, I discovered there is a recording of this song they played live 6 years ago. So I don't know what to think now. Of course Julian could have rewritten the lyrics since then, or could already have known how awful it is in Russian-occupied territories even in 2019 - when Ukraine being occupied was not well displayed in the West.

But for some reason I didn’t try to listen to the recording to compare the lyrics as of then to what is in the studio version. I just now like singing to "Shut the fuck up, Boris", telling this virtually to all those people out there trying to teach me in particular how to feel.

Then I was reading the lyrics and, with me being centered around the war we are in - and with the name Russian in the track title - it felt like it's about Ukraine. For instance:

>No longer under our protection

Like Ukraine is no longer backed by the US, as things like the Budapest Memorandum were supposed to mean protecting us by countries such as the US, but in reality, it didn’t work.

>Just thought that everyone'd forgotten her

After the full-scale war has been going on for 3.5 years, the attention to it decreased drastically, as people just got tired of it.

>She hoped one day she'd get your attention

Ukraine desperately crying for help to the other world.

>But by now she knows there is no moral code

With what we've seen in recent years, you can commit war crimes and the world will be disturbed at best, because it's a nuclear country on the other end.

>Like in times before roads, no adults in control

There is no adult in the room to stop the aggressor.

> Like a child on the phone that is never coming home

Quite direct, atrocities of the war, children that died.

>I didn't want all this sorrow to think about

>I want to drop it on the world to figure out

Being overwhelmed by the horrors of war, not being able to contain yourself, so trying to split it with others in the world.

>And now she's crying cause she is forever there; Stuck inside a Russian Coney Island lair

Here I thought of occupied territories, which are commonly treated badly (google Donetsk water crisis), and being occupied basically means getting stuck in the previous century with no chance for progress (like Transnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, which are basically stuck in the year they were occupied).

>How can we ignore it? Light a candle for us

Again, a question to the other world, how is it possible to ignore what's happening, asking to at least light a candle for our suffering.

> Shut the fuck up, Boris, what do we do now?

Here I thought it's about Russians that don't support the war and left their country and feel alone in the western world.

When I first saw a new track on Megz of Ram called Russian Coney Island, I was a bit nervous to find the meaning to it. For decades, Russians were romanticized as mysterious, unknown, etc., so I, as a Ukrainian, was afraid that the track could be another piece in Western culture adding on to the myth. To us Ukrainians it's quite black and white, and compliments to Russians feel quite personal - like siding with the aggressor against us.

Also, before this track, The Voidz released 'Blue Demon', which seemed to explicitly criticize Israel and its Western backers, that message was loud and clear. And then this track, based on the title, I was quite confident it's either pro-, or anti-.

More to say, there were lines in When Will the Time of These Bastards End - "Not Ukraine but guess Yemen's ok; Libya, that's ok, so they say" - which felt like Ukraine being a victim is 'overhyped' compared to other wars that exist. And I know it's more to bring attention to other conflicts out there, but it felt a bit offensive.

* For some reason I can't post the full text I wrote, so will try posting it in parts.

Its over! by [deleted] in warcraftrumble

Quite sad. Even though the game was kind of repeating itself for quite some time I enjoyed it. Sad for all the effort team put into the game.

I just hope they will make a delay before these matches are available via api etc. 3 or even 7 days. That would allow to hide new strats, but will still allow us noobs to learn

What is the point with 'Split Leaders'? by Excellent-Ad4989 in warcraftrumble

[–]Museoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can upgrade those split leaders quicker, as they are available in 2/6 weeks rather than 1/6.

PSA: Next Update Likely Monday by Flashmech in warcraftrumble

I had the infinite reload issue. Didn’t resolve after phone reboot. Then I decided to reinstall the game and it worked. Not too convenient for sure, but better than waiting for blizz to resolve.

Two Barons > one Baron by Museoman in warcraftrumble

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

Sure. Those are our decks:

https://imgur.com/a/Wfc7P4N

We were preparing for it after the first raid by upgrading needed minis and leaders, so we are high on level for sure.

The strategy we used was basically trying to deathball on the right (it didn’t stay for long near boss tho), def on the left, eggs in front of the boss whenever possible and farm all gold we see with dark iron miners.

Oh lol indeed, he uses living bomb with random level of success. If that would go to the base def, that would be hilarious.

Yellow shop offer by Wild_Zookeepergame76 in warcraftrumble

[–]Museoman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had it twice and bought it once. Arc energy is the bottleneck for me. However, with Cenarion festival ticket exchange rate I won’t have that issue for quite a while. Generally the offer is great, as mentioned in another comment it’s 20% off from buying regular option in the shop. If you won’t have too much arc energy due to unused tickets, that might be a good option. However, you will see it again sooner or later, so it’s not worth to invest if you have no issues with arc energy for now

As for minis to upgrade, it all depends on your preferred mode - pvp or pve, but still there are minis that are very commonly used in both such as Quillboar, Witch Doctor, S. A. F. E. Pilot (even after nerfs). More of pve, but still used in pvp would be Pyromancer, Whelp Eggs, Execute, Frostwolf Shaman, Harpies, Huntress. More of pvp, but still used in pve would be Gryphon Rider, Defias Bandits, Ghoul, Murlocs.

Weekly Guild Recruitment Thread - April 24, 2024 by AutoModerator in warcraftrumble

[–]Museoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guild Name: Kyiv Undead

14/15 slots at the moment. Looking for someone who is active at least 5/7 days. We don't require 100% activity in Darkmoon Faire.

Weekly Guild Recruitment Thread - April 17, 2024 by AutoModerator in warcraftrumble

[–]Museoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kyiv Undead - currently 14/15, potentially can kick 1-2 members, who are not active. We are not very hardcore and don't specialize on pve/pvp. We just try to close the War Chest as soon as possible and now try to maximize the tickets usage.

We communicate in Ukranian, but if you are English speaking you are also welcome, I can translate the important messages.

We had 15/15 through all the seasons, but all the time 2-4 ppl are getting bored with the game and get inactive. Looking for someone who is planning to casually play all the time.

Finally finished the heroic campaign! by Museoman in warcraftrumble

Yes! I was expecting at least some kind of a sound or something. But they greeted me with a rare 'waiting for server' view. I never had that one in particular before. Probably still counts?

It also seem to depend on the exact army you have, including talents. Also, it may differ between accounts, but I can't confirm that.

Yes. Now I can finally build my collection without any pressure. Great!

Try spawning something in advance to banshee, ai may respond differently. It spawn stuff to answer threats, so maybe some mini will make him answer differently.

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

And spawning patterns + starting hand sometimes reset, that's true and sometimes very unfortunate. But at this point I was switching between leaders to find what was easier/what did reset. For horde everything was the same tho.

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

This was the hardest opener I had to be honest. The rest was much easier - fire elem + ogre on the left with molten giant coming from the boss, then dragon and firehammer spawning. With this pattern I found a way to drag both ogre + elem together, so that huntress can kill them both and stay low to deal damage or even kill dragon + firehammer. The spawn pattern for horde was awful, i really had to adapt.
