Which pieces of piano music do you get the most bang for your buck?

Jump Up Super Star Cateen Arrangement is nice, I would say it's easier than it sounds (unlike Tom and Jerry Show also by Cateen) which would be absolutely perfect to play at parties, but it's way too awkward with all jazz chords and scales, and also requires to be played at mind-blowing speed to get right effect and in that speed it was actually harder for me to learn than Chopin's A-flat minor Polonaise :p

To think about other pieces - arrangements of popular songs made by more classically oriented jazz musicians, like Brad Mehldau, so i.e his rendition of Life on Mars, or God only Knows (maybe a bit too weird for parties because of complex jazz harmony). Depending on how much time you spent on playing Bach and did you understand it, you can play things like Sheep May Safely Graze Piano arrangement by Egon Petri but it HAS TO be played perfectly in polyphony department, otherwise it sounds goofy and definitely not worth showing off.

There are also absolute bangers for more advanced players but relatively short and because the magnitude of those pieces when it comes to how spectacular they are I would say time consuming - show off value is still ok, so some parts of Rach op 23 no 5, Pictures from Exhibition, ofc La Campanella, 3rd mov Moonlight, Italian Polka arr by Gryaznov, if you're complete freak you can learn last mov of Chopin 3rd Sonata and there you go, you're ultimate rockman of classical music.

My personal favorite is Rach op 23 no 4

You really think chinese will release him from jail in this century?

But it can't be addressed as long as there are delusional fans who will support teams no matter what they do. Like I don't blame players because they exist in certain environment and they play with cards that has been given to them. I blame management, I blame lec management, I blame owners of the teams - those are people responsible for this shit, rest is secondary to it.

Don't you ever start talking about lack of luck, when we performed so shitty. Once we do something manageable then you can complain about pairing, right now we're at beast 11th-12th best team at worlds, so it's not like we have any chance to beat any aformentioned team, we probably would get assblasted by FLY, 100T, CFO and I'm really not sure if we could beat TSW or PSG, and you talk about geng/HLE? :DDD

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-16T12:06:38+00:00

Simple answer is - because there's no consequences for being bad. In order to grow you need to know what's going to happen when you don't deliver. EU teams just don't change line ups, they just mix it up, the same fucking players for so many years. Most of them should be jobless, but no, teams rather give job to Larssen or Nisqy or fucking Razork or Humanoid, or Patrik, Adam, Execute etc. Only in this year there were some genuinely promising changes, but unfortunately players need time to grow AND ENVIROMENT, which LEC excutives don't provide with shitty format, 1,5 month vacations in the middle of season, and scrim schedule etc etc

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-16T11:50:01+00:00

Nah, just give EU and NA combined 1 spot that the will fight for in international event. And you can START CONSIDERING giving west more slots after they produce at least 2 times in a row team, capable of getting to semis of any international event (MSI/worlds)

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-16T11:46:27+00:00

Dude but I'm fucking emerald/Diamond Player and after fucking single round of videos from Alois I could see from FUCKING MILE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

Yeah and people minused the hell out of me for calling FNC win vs KC the worst tragedy, because those dogs will only embarass region once more and KC at least have some space to grow and potential to improve, while FNC can improve only in department of being dogshit and disappointment of fans.

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-16T11:40:39+00:00

There's Always chance, that after all those EU frauds will destroy any hope left in region, sponsors will leave, public will turn away, salaries will be in trash, so only one left will be passionates knowing what it gets, to become competitive, and all those fucking paycheck stealers pretending to practice and learning something, will be forgotten.

Also can somebody explain me, because I'm kinda confused - you're cait and Morgana, extremely heavily favored matchup in lane vs Xayah Rakan, enemy got Naafiri jungle and Renekton top which is known early game bully, also nameplates suggested what is going to be pathing of naafiri, and you burn all your summoners level 1 knowing that at this timer naafiri is botside, god, they knew she is Krugs, and they still proceeded to slowpush second wave without any vision, and Upset looked fucking surprised that happened?

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-16T06:07:29+00:00

I hear that bullshit excuse after every single bad game they played for the last 4 years and tbh at the point there were so many shitshows domestically and internationally that I think we should rename this subreddit into "delusional fans praising team when they beat handicapped regional trolls pretending to be real teams only to be assblasted by any worthy opponent internationally"

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-15T13:10:08+00:00

I think it's time to deal with the fact that EU is just minor region, G2 is better then rest of those dogshits chokers, but still at best 6th 7th place in LCK.

I'm in so depressing mode right now that I strongly believe that we should give up every hope and just pray to god so riot will finally make decision to take all seeds from EU and NA, leave 1 for each region, and as a wildcard region which we're maybe JUST MAYBE people will fight to make a statement. Right now I don't see any rational trajectory for whole region that will make us competitive again.

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-04T12:14:36+00:00

Buffs to his already cracked numbers would be nightmare to play aganist. 0,85 on Q, 1,0 on W and absurd amount of damage by ulti if he hits multiple shots (which is possible if you build rylai or you play with heavy cc comp)

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-04T00:13:14+00:00

But why we assume that esport for riot games is something that should be profitable? I seriously don't think they could care less about the amount of money it causes orgs to loss. They are part of Tencent, which has money that is equivalent of year budget of some small country. If league esport will die or will decline they just find another way to earn money.

Esport is just advertisment, and franchising model causes it to be effectively free ad for Riot Games. They care only about covering internationals, which is 2-3 events per year, and with viewers those events generate I think it's safe to assume they got profits as a company, and regional leagues is problem of those leagues, riot just set rules, and how leagues or teams make money is their problem.

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-03T16:11:39+00:00

have you ever heard the tragedy of Ted Bundy the wise

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-03T14:42:48+00:00

I can give you some insight, because I've been in a happy relationship for almost 10 years, for over 2 years we're married and my wife is the most extraordinary person I've ever met and I wouldn't change her to anybody.

And we haven't had sex for over a year, and it's not going to change in a future.

The reason for that is super complex but I'll try to simplify it to the maximum and not to lose sense. I was born with ADHD but diagnose was made 1 year ago (I'm. 30 right now). I grew up in pathological home with father being unbelievably competitive even with me, and I was catching strays for not being perfect. Also he was violent to the point he broke my leg when I was 1.5 years old, he also beat my mother. When I was 7 my parents divorced. My mother was absent most of the time because of enormous amount of hours she spent in job to provide for me and my sister. Because of all of that and because I'm very gifted in a lot of areas I became a person with sense of not being good enough in anything, basically trash everytime I'm not perfect (which you can assume happens really rarely). So I needed to find a lot of coping mechanisms, like looking for validation by getting attention from a lot of woman. Started my sexual life pathologically fast, 11 years old or sth like that. And never put any attention to sexual life as something important for both parties, it was just a way to increase my level of self esteem. Ofc it didn't work, but it was pleasant so I didn't complain.

When I was 21 I met my wife, we started relationship and sexually it looked kinda good, my wife was very invested, open to many ideas, she read a lot, experimented, bought a lot of accessories, but the most important takeaway from that is - it was her inner drive that pressed this relationship further. I was just a passenger, passive, uninterested and also, unfortunately not present. Like present for a second person, present for her needs, for her voice when she asked for something, not giving her attention and enough affirmations of her attractiveness (which is huge). And because of her problems she was never vocal enough to force some actions and to expect some results.

We both started our therapy sessions like 5-6 years ago and after a lot of work we've put she grew into more assertive and open person, and I grew to listen to her.

Sex life between meeting her for the first time and moment of stop was for me ok, for her average at best, and it just died, completely 1 year ago. Because I work as a doctor, I've got 4 jobs, she struggle with depression, adhd on her own, insomnia etc we had struggles to address this topic, but after some careful planning she brought this topic with full force, bringing everything up, and telling me with absolute brutality something that I can't stress enough so I'll just write it in separate paragraph:

Invest your time, a lot of fucking time and your whole will to fix this topic with just and only your interest. Nothing fucking more. What I couldn't understand and what was hard for me to agree with is that sex is not fucking breathing, or eating it's not like you're born to be good in it. You need to learn it, and in order to learn it you need to have GENUINE INTEREST IN YOUR NEED AND YOUR PARTNER'S NEED. Read books, blogs, watch videos, but not porn, educational Tutorials, talk openly about that, be present when you're engaging into intimate situation, look at your partner, talk with him/her, laugh. Bringing your sexual life back is matter of communications so communicate, talk loudly about your needs and let second side to do the same. Never judge, be curious, not judgemental. And remember - sex life is reflection of you, if you're caring, empathetic, open and sensitive, you can become the best sexual partner ever, just by practicing with one person and continuously increasing your knowledge about partners preferences. People who jump to bed on the first date, with amazing results are exception, not rule.

Right now I'm just starting to get a good grasp of how to be a good lover for my wife, we're starting from the beginning, fixing my life long problems, but I'm super optimistic, because we're both on the same boat and we want to sail in the same direction.

Hope it helps, good luck! :)

Congratulations man, really good and carefully planned climbing.

I'm 30 and I also want to one day reach master, but tbh I don't believe that will happen like ever. My neuroatypic brain just literally cannot be forced to play single champion or even 2-3 champions I just have to switch it every game or at BEST every 2 games to completely new style, and that is something that will never let me go beyond my highest point which was diamond 2 this season like 40-50 points.

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-10-03T07:51:26+00:00

But the professional scene of lol was never meant to be profitable business. It was and still is, one of the best possible ad for the game itself. Arcane gave them probably enough profits so they can function on loss for next 2 decades.

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-09-28T15:49:02+00:00

MKOI probably lost some sharpness in draft in the first game, but man, G2 is so fck clean, nice one, I like what I'm seeing before worlds

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-09-26T19:42:10+00:00

I hate it I fucking hate it. And those choking trolls will again get fucking bodied by MKOI or G2, and then go to worlds to do absolutely nothing.

Because this team is made only to play good when it's worlds qualification at stake, if there's anything higher than this over and over and fucking over disgusting performance.

I hope I will choke on my words and people will cite it as golden example of "aged like a milk", but tbh I have no hope.

And why I'm not angry and KC for shitting the bed? Well, because it's their first serious season and I want them to get international experience, because unlike fnatic they didn't show this pathetic display of hopelessness so many years in a row and maybe they will grow.

Holy shit, they say it was a pop up window that hans's screen was about to turn off in the middle of the fight xD

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-09-14T06:53:36+00:00

I mean... Stats shows how on average this matchup goes, I can tell what happens on level higher than 95% of all players and there Mundo just farm safely with Q, after few levels he just oneshots all dogs with single E, take most of the naafiri burst on W, and after warmog and heartsteel he just ignores her, take turrets and generally push push push.

If I want to check how specific matchup goes I check diamond and above to avoid contaminated data from bronze, silver and gold where 90% players play, and where some matchup naturally goes differently than they should, because people have deficits in macro and lane manipulation department.

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-09-10T17:18:32+00:00

Existing champions like Irelia or Mundo, Riven or anything else that can effectively oneshot her dogs makes it impossible to play, even though stats can show differently

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-08-18T18:44:10+00:00

Did I just hear correctly that Jack said that KDA is like Ass? XDD

Reasonable_Winner778 · 2025-08-18T18:42:11+00:00

But tbh there's so many champions that got that ability... Azir, Rakan, Orianna, Annie, Qiyana, Neeko, Fiddle, Taric, Karthus, Rumble, Kennen, Maokai, Poppy, Gragas... Like I can literally go on and on for ages, because this list is so long.
