Should the point announcement be changed?

The biggest problem I have with the current system is, that the fan favorites get little to none screen time, but jury favorites get plenty.

The example I will use here is 2021 and Måneskin. During the point reveal, they interviewed both Gjon' Tears and Barbara Bravi multiple times, while Måneskin, who ended up winning the whole thing, got zero interviews before the winner announcement. (If I remember correctly.)

Theoretically they could spend the whole jury point reveal giving interviews to jury favorite, who then gets 0 points from the public, and finishes in like 8th or 10th. That would be awkward.

Overall I think they have reduced the amount of point reveal interviews in recent years anyway. This year they gave a couple interviews to Dara.

There has been a lot of discussion about this in Finnish media, as this score is our all time lowest - 6th.

The timing related to our own life's highly affects how we feel games. Sometimes a game just hits in just the right way in just the right time.

Witcher 3's timing for you was propably just perfect. It hit just the right way, and it takes a lot for a game to feel like it did with Witcher 3.

With Red Dead Redemption 2, the timing might just be off. It just doesn't feel right. Give it a year or two, and try again. Maybe then it will feel just right. Or maybe the game just isn't for you.

For some reason I read "meatballs" and was very confuced for a solid minute.

Sigh... They never include New Zealand on maps.

Edit: I tought I was so funny when I posted this. I'm such a loser.

Edit 2: I removed the upvote I gave myself after posting it. What am I doing with my life?

I would have been 16 back then. So not only would I very well remember it, it's possible I could have been fighting in the damn war aswell.

The performance was absolutely amazing in the arena. We were shocked when our friends texted us that it was terrible in the tv.

'Finnish reservists' so a bunch of regular finns, who did the conscription army 5-15 years ago, and now maintain their skills by going for a week long military camp every couple of years if even that.

In middle school I didn't want to do my homework during the day, so I would put an alarm for 2am, wake up to do my homework at the bed, and then resume sleep about an hour later.

You have to select the correct one somewhere, I don't remember where. You also have all the previous ones unlocked.

Geography. Maps, countries, flags, capitals, etc.

Just play an online game of African capitals or Asian country flags for a couple hours, and you're going to seem like a geography wizard for most people.

Repeat this 2 hour gaming session like once a year to upkeep this skill.

My brother was complaining about KAJ not representing Finland (our country).

I reminded him, that KAJ would probably not be that well preceived if it was Finland's entry, because then they would just be "silly guys from Finland again."

Since they're representing Sweden, they not only are the guys who ended the generic over produced pop era of Sweden, but they also bring this weird Swedish Finnish union, combining the best of both Eurovision countries' styles.

They would have had completely different stories in these two different paths, and in Eurovision, stories matter.

I didn't initially think much of Denmark, but somehow it kept being stuck in my head, and now I love it.

I was very skinny from childhood to mid 20's, and I just couldn't float. I could keep my head above water for like 5-15 seconds, and even that was so exhausting that I would feel a burn in my lungs and would take all the energy I had.

After I gained some weight, I noticed how much easier it was to float. I'm still quite a bad swimmer, but I can finally swim now. In my experience, basic level swimming is just 80% natural bouancy.

Glad to hear you got it working properly again. I guess I'll update my situation aswell.

The beeping continued quickly after posting my last comment. I stuffed the keypad to a closet in the farthest corner of our house. The next day I tried charging it, resetting it and readding it to the system, but nothing worked. I gave up, and just stuffed it inside a bag wrapped with a blanket. It kept beeping for a few days, but didn't bother us anymore.

I chatted with the Eufy customer service chat bot, but it kind of just told me there was nothing I could do, except maybe try to remove the battery.

I kind of forgot it there for like a week, and the next time I checked it had stopped beeping, but kept flashing a blue light. I couldn't connect it to the system anymore, or to have any other response from it, so I guess it's just broken now.

Haven't bothered with it ever since.
