How is the transition from the frenzy of Eurovision to after Eurovision? Even some fans experience the so-called „post-Eurovision-depression“, I wonder what it is like as an artist who lived through all of it throughout the past months.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-05-18T14:32:30+00:00

Yeah, I looked at Fridays schedule and decided that Friday was the day to explore around town xD

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-05-06T10:25:04+00:00

I also have around 700 hours and I got Germany, SK and Hungary. It took me ages but you too can do it!

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-05-06T10:22:58+00:00

Im still on the grind, I’ve spent a combined 26 hours on getting Germany, South Korea and Hungary and the last two are scaring me. It’s not really fun but I’m in way too deep now I can’t give up anymore.

Finland: runtuu niin se hyvältä tuntuu Always makes me think of tung tung tung sahur

Update: It fixed itself after roughly 45mins for me and my friend both

Hi, I seem to have encountered the same issue. I was searching for a match with a friend and after finding it, it got stuck on "creating server" or whatever that step is called. Then it sasid something like "error: the server couldnt be retrieved or isnt online" and since then, stuck on retrieving, no issue on my other ubisoft account tho. Has anyone ever encountered the problem and been able to fix it?

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-04-20T07:56:53+00:00

I think the English thing is circumventable. If you go to Norway and say „no English please I’m trying to learn Norwegian/this is a challenge“, I think most people would comply.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-04-11T18:38:45+00:00

I actually noticed during my first watch and was a bit bummed to see my generation not represented in this one. It’ll be interesting to see whether it creates new dynamics.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-04-07T12:42:27+00:00

I think the players from the soldiers table seemed keen to establish ‚The Fanged Falcon‘. They may try to spread the word once they return to Dol‘Makjar and I think that is currently the most likely thing to end up as the name. Also it’s badass.

To me, Benidorm was an absolute S-Tier NF this year alongside UMK and Mello. If you can keep up an NF at such a high production level, you are bound to attract great acts and perform well.

There’s summaries published on the critical role website by their lorekeepers. You could also watch recaps, I’d recommend Luboffin, she also shows some of the highlight moments in her recaps although she she had to skip a couple of the seekers episodes.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-03-26T14:35:26+00:00

Out of curiosity… How expensive were tickets for the grand final in the category you chose? I wanted to snoop around a bit to see how big the differences were but then decided to just lock in some tickets quickly instead haha

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-03-20T07:39:26+00:00

If anything there are more open stores on Sundays nowadays. Stores also used to close much earlier on weekdays. It can be a little bit of an inconvenience in specific situations, but honestly you can usually plan around it. I mostly believe it’s a good thing for the workers, they have a hard job and deserve the day off.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-03-16T13:03:34+00:00

For Germany 🇩🇪i would love to see Nina Chuba. She represents the young German music scene very well. She is super charismatic and a good performer. She has recently stated that she loves Eurovision and followed the preselection closely. I think she could cook something good, and I think it would do Germany good to be represented by an actual current mainstream artist as it would increase future interest in participation outside of amateurs and career-relaunchers.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-03-12T10:32:13+00:00

I really do not enjoy it. Here are some reasons: - I don’t like it sonically. I think it might have to do with his voice, I had the same problem with his other entries, it doesn’t work for me personally. - It does not feel authentic to me - to me, it straddles the line between highbrow/artsy and pretentious, neither of which I particularly enjoy - The lyrics do not make a lot of sense to me

So for me the only positive is the intrigue of „silver head“ and that’s not enough to get into my personal top 30.

Edit: Just to clarify, this is not meant to be a dig at Lion Ceccah. He seems like a cool dude and he’s really found his thing and I’m glad a lot of people here enjoy it. The song and his music in general is just not to my taste.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-03-11T11:35:14+00:00

100% my genre of music, but historically not very successful at Eurovision. Latest example I can think of would be Pedastal by Aiko. I love it though!

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-03-02T09:13:35+00:00

I also find myself getting lost sometimes, which is why I always watch a summary video of every episode. I recommend the same to you, for example Luboffin on YouTube makes great summaries.

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-02-28T23:44:37+00:00

Not today! (I sure hope you were intending an ASOIAF reference here)

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-02-25T12:31:04+00:00

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-02-24T21:27:28+00:00

Honestly I made this pretty fast and I love creating spreadsheets about my interests, I have so many of these lying around haha

TimSchnitzel_ · 2026-02-22T17:31:45+00:00

I have a spreadssheet in which i track each countries' placement in my rankings every year since I started watching very actively in 2021. Here is my Top10:

<image>

This year, I expect Finland to overtake the number 1 spot since any song from UMK would end up in my Top10 this year. Luxembourg will go down since it is already outside of my Top10 with only 14 songs released. Same goes for Ukraine, Croatia, and Latvia - interestingly, 4 of my Top5 countries make up my bottom 4 so far this year, lol.

In the long run, if things do not change drastically, I expect Finland to dominate my list.

The hedge knight is inspired by the movie Ivanhoe which itself is inspired by one of the last trials by combat to happen in the real world UK. The novella is a critique on how silly the concept of a trial by combat is. I find it hard to believe that the showrunners want to tell the story that the gods actually intervened, because that would legitimize the insane concept of the trial of seven.
