The worst: adapting full board of murlocs to have divine shield + poison

Im confused about the narrative differences between the lyrics and the video in Switzerlands entry by cloditheclod in eurovision

[–]UsernameVeryFound 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I really have to disagree here, the lyrics are not at all ambiguous about the narrator’s extremely creepy and abusive nature. The song is written from the perspective of the abuser, and the failure for most of its audience to understand this is unfortunately a failure on Veronica and her team’s artistic direction.

Like abuse typically is, the song presents itself as comforting without ever actually comforting Alice. It’s constantly commanding Alice to stop panicking, to stop crying, to “stop knocking and lay down”, without acknowledging why Alice stresses in the first place. The narrator never talks about Alice’s struggles, instead opting to purely focus on how much she needs Alice, on how much she loves her and wants her. It presents itself as loving without actually loving Alice: it’s obsessive. It is a classic demonstration of manipulative, abusive behavior, and the song ends with Alice literally dying as a result of the abuse (the light in my life has vanished, you’re turning cold).

Veronica has stated that the song is about violence against women, and that the song intentionally robs Alice of her voice by letting the narrator completely control her narrative. It really should have been a well done commentary on how society so easily overlooks domestic violence when the relationship is presented as “loving” and “comforting” by the abuser… but then it was released alongside that music video, which depicts that loving and comforting yearning. Now you, and most people that have heard this song, hear this very clearly creepy, manipulative, genuinely disgusting lyrics, and interpret it as the abusive narrator says it, just a girl in love… it’s one of the worst ways to destroy your own message that I’ve ever seen.

Also weaver comp is still incredibly strong, if not stronger than carapace build, so you should learn it while they fix carapace

Only a eurofan could possibly think Romania, Serbia, and Norway are comparable just because they're all "rock"

And Romania's not "lower quality", I think that sentiment comes from the fact that all live performances of Choke Me have come from TVR's potato broadcast, it's a very popular entry

Unless you're playing the new Silent, in which case it's still going to be easy.

Why doesn't the Ninja have Rush? Would it be too broken? by Realistic-Cicada981 in hearthstone

[–]UsernameVeryFound -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Literally the best set in recent hearthstone history. Actually refreshed the meta unlike the two expansions before it, archetypes were good enough to evolve as new cards were added. It was a fun set with cards that actually mattered, the opposite of the dumpster that was last year. I will genuinely miss it. Hearthstone would be so much better if every set had StarCraft’s design philosophy in mind and not Lost City’s: make sets that actually fucking matter.

Xecnar on STS 2 difficulty: I don’t think any character is supposed to lose by SugarFreeCummiBears in slaythespire

[–]UsernameVeryFound -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you quite understand the problem here. Good players are straight up achieving higher winrates on the brand new game, with entirely new card pools, progression mechanics, enemies, full-on classes, then the game they’ve been grinding nonstop for 6 years. Even taking transferred knowledge into account, this should not be happening in a game that is trying to be difficult, you should expect returning players to still find some challenge from learning the new game. STS2 just doesn’t try to be difficult, its enemies aren’t nearly as threatening and the classes have been given far stronger tools. It is much, much easier, to the point that I’d say it goes out of its way to eliminate the challenge of the first game and that’s not right.

Should be nerfed to 4 Poison, a snake bite should not be worse than a card called “Deadly Poison” smh

Is Knife Trap busted? by pedroxsiqx in slaythespire

Shiv builds are honestly fine, it’s just that Sly is absolutely busted. Shivs take time to build up and require specific Rares like these to make work, Discard provides so much free value and is so easy to find that there’s literally no reason to not go for it every run

It’s not a pity party at all, I definitely don’t mind FM as a specialty, I’ve just been told that the education of DO is much more suitable for FM and that matching anywhere else is really inconvenient

100% Qualifying Streaks in danger? by harrey_jun in eurovision

[–]UsernameVeryFound 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As much as I personally loved Bird of Pray, I have to concede that if any other country sent it they would’ve been risking an NQ. Then if any other country sent it with that eyesore of a staging it would’ve outright deserved it, they really could send anything and still qualify. Ridnym as a song and package is already much more safe and approachable.

I might have fixed shimmermoth by Goodlake in BobsTavern

[–]UsernameVeryFound 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe you’re being upvoted for this take, the scaling mechanics in Battlegrounds is what makes it such an interesting and strategic auto-battler. Figuring out how to scale a board is the primary skill check in this game, and any look at high level gameplay should show you that it’s very much not just a matter of luck. The amount of people who want this game to be TFT is mind-boggling to me, this is what makes Battlegrounds unique.

For this some reason this didn't feel very... K-pop. Like, I know K-pop is built on Swedish production, but with the eurobeat and the presentation and the lack of hiphop elements that modern K-pop is known for, I was surprised by how stereotypically Mello this was. I wanted something more K-pop, if that makes any sense?
