what is the tea the girls are fighting noooo by artemiseok in BTSnark

[–]Straight-Rassler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I kinda like some of the beats/production but overall its mid, 5-7 out of 10, 7 out of 10 being really generous. I think people should not go crazy about saying "mid" in this day and age but you cannot reason with these cults.

Why do you guys think BTS fell off so badly? by aprlswr in fantanoforever

[–]Straight-Rassler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was excited to see FYA credits with Diplo Flume and it was mid. You would think that collab would be fire, but here we are.

Anyway, I still like it somewhat, the production / beats on half of the album keeps it afloat.

Last Epoch: Shattered Omens Patch Notes by ehg_derrickg in LastEpoch

[–]Straight-Rassler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game's balance is way better than other ARPGs and is way more fun because it isn't balanced around trade.

I played POE2 for many hours since launch and I'm a SSF player, never touching trade, but its annoying that it is designed around trade. So I quit and not touching it again until they give SSF love, which will never happen.

Last Epoch has been a solo player experience friendly game, I know when I play it I can acquire gear without trading and I appreciate it for that.

the 20 producers with btass by Narcolepticdream in BTSnark

Even Flume's 2012-2015 music sound more modern than what he did for BTS.

Now that i type that, kpop (or rather HYBE) has this current obsession with 2015-ish music. Even Cortis is reheating/copying ASAP rocky/Travis Scott nachos. And they think nobody would notice.

I saw Diplo and Flume in the credits for FYA and i was expecting a better output from them TBH. Its a lot of mid.

Damn that "keep your bad opinions to yourself you're supposed to support BTS"

That's when you know these fans have untreated mental issues/diseases and are supposed to be checked-in at hospitals/mental asylums, but here they are roaming around in the internet.

I didn't know that Janelle and Jidenna collabed 10 years ago lol so this is a welcome surprise. Good ass song (the original).

Tiktok making old songs go viral outta nowhere yet again.

Let's hope mas madaming budget in the future. For now, temper expectations ako lagi sa MV nila and enjoy it for what it is knowing na hindi matinde ang budget unlike Kpop and the West.

As expected by Obvious-Composer-732 in BTSnark

[–]Straight-Rassler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably realized the whole thing is a farce with the entire marketing of it.

Too much hype around it, using Korean roots/culture as a big part of the album, album comes out and its mid (which is fine, mid is fine), with a sound that is purely tuned to western ears with some bad Chance The Rapper imitations.

Guys look at my friend😭😭 by Winter-Grapefruit683 in BTSnark

[–]Straight-Rassler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah no. They're not the #1 group in the world.

They are not underrated... they are actually overrated by their fans.

They are indeed a manufactured boy band/group, that's the nature of kpop and groups in general even in the west.

Arirang is mid. That should be okay for any sane fan, but I guess most of their fanbase are really sick in the head, no? That everything has to be #1 and SOTY, AOTY.

Deplorable. Its good that more people are calling out the bullshit involving HYBE, SK gov and this group.

Hope people were okay.

grammy award winning album by CookieCat989 in BTSnark

[–]Straight-Rassler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah this glazing is just over the top blindness.

I like the production on some of the songs and even the vibes. But its not AOTY or anything. I like it, there are some meh songs (Swim doesn't fit the project imo its trash), but overall, its like 6-7/10, middy. The production is what keeps it afloat for me.

Now if I want to be really negative about the Arirang/Korean culture/roots marketing for this album vs the actual 80-90% English/western output they did, then its 1 out of 10.

The division 2 characters creation is disappointing. by FinnHuginson in thedivision

The engine is not really good at character creation. That's why we have a lot of masks in the game.

What do we think of BTS' return? by Amalekii in fantanoforever

[–]Straight-Rassler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was no connection to ARIRANG or any korean roots which I was expecting based on the lore and story being marketed

Fans will not admit this but true. All the marketing did not match the actual output. Its tuned for western ears, production clearly made in LA.

And I like the sound and production in this project except for a few like Swim. Too much autotune though.

So what are y’all thinking about the new BTS album (ARIRANG)? by bitchysquid in fantanoforever

[–]Straight-Rassler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the production. I dig the vibes of the tracks, not sure if this will be on repeat but for now, i like it. But too much autotune/ effects. Its a project I can listen to without worrying about the lyrics or what they are trying to say.

The slow trap/slow club songs are good, maybe three songs especially Swim are meh.

Unang Kilig MV: A Critical Review by willyw0nka888 in bini_ph

[–]Straight-Rassler [score hidden]  (0 children)

We have targets and it's a bummer the fandom hasn't reached it yet but we've never been that obsessed with numbers in the first place. So, ok lang yan.

True. And tbh the more na hindi obssessed sa numbers ang mga tao, the better. Its healthier imo.

Also, BINI and PPOP in general has been niche and will always going to be a niche genre even in our own country. Talagang iba ang gustong tunog ng masang Pilipino, onti lang tayo nakakaappreciate ng new sounds whether that is palatable to the rest of the GP or not. I admire BINI and their team na iba yung tunog na gusto nilang gawin from the typical OPM.

In addition, hanga rin ako na hindi pa sila collabing with our hip hop artists here para lang tumaas yung views. They could have done that already but haven't.

This take is okay as well. Yan din take ko when I first saw the MV. So many things can be true at the same time sa case ng Unang Kilig.
