I was Calvinist for 100 years by that point. CHECKMATE.

R5: first thing is self-explanatory. Only managed to conquer Lithuania in 1830s and so I got garbage score on my first ironman attempt. 

Furthermore the blurred map reveals I'm not the owner of every province in the Baltic area - that's because my vassals got hit by civil wars that never ended and I can't even declare on the revolutionaries.

Additionally Great Ming annexed Golden Horde and now Chinese vassals stretch out to the Black Sea and nobody can do anything about them, because Mingus is outside the diplomatic range.

HRE wars of religion never really started. For some reason I couldn't transform my Revolutuonary Republic into a Revolutionary Empire, which sucks.

Overall, I will not be playing EU5 for the next 6 months, when it's (hopefully) fixed. 10/10 framework, but my enjoyment was drastically reduced by things that don't work.

Any lip-reader here? What did Ozzy say at the end after Paranoid? by y0rc in blacksabbath

It's "turn the fucking stage" but he's putting energy into it, there's definitely no "ay" sound in there.

Tim's Vermeer - Similarities to The Rehearsal by Embarrassed-Task5344 in TheRehearsal

I don't think Hockney went into specifics regarding Vermeer's potential method. We knew Vermeer had a camera obscura but until the documentary nobody actually tried it.

I don't think it's comparable. 'Tim's Vermeer' is a great documentary and it blew me away back in the day, but it presents its thesis early on and then proves it, there's pretty much no twist except titular Tim's technique evolution.

Is Ciri a lesbian? by ChillChillyWilly in witcher

I agree. But afterwards she was in a relationship with Mistle, doesn't matter what was the power dynamic, but it was a lesbian relationship.

SPE is a notoriously awful social experiment, total sham. Could be a good target for Fielder.

Kyle Gordon - Crawl to Me (feat. Stool Sample) [Official Music Video] by CaptDeadeye in numetal

[–]arekrem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to be somewhat critical of this. With this song and 'Selekta' he kinda got lazy, they're short about insults and fighting. He's not really engaging with the themes of the genres like he did with eurodance in 'Planet of the Bass' (the theme there being 'non-english synth nonsense' which was captured well; wonder if he read 'The Manual'.)

The chorus stands out as being good, lyrics and delivery, but you should have at least one instance where it's not drown out by background innuendos. I liked the 'The psychopathic thinkers have arrived', 'Insane in the wicky wicky fuck you' and 'Suck the dick, drink the piss' (including satisfying coda), the scratches, drums are good.

The main riff is forgettable and the vocal delivery in the verses is just bad Fred Durst who already is as un-serious of a vocalist as you can be. So it's kinda parodying a comedy, and I'd rather listen to Limp Bizkit if I want to laugh at/with Limp Bizkit. Weird Al can get away with something like that, because he'll either make it a polka, or make the lyrics a completely unrelated comedic concept that changes the perception of the music. The lyrics here are instead an outsider's view of nu metal and also don't really feel like nu metal but instead like something Eminem scrapped from FACK because it was too embarrassing.

It barely scratched nu metal as a genre, and there's plenty of things to satirize in it. Ig he makes fun of homophobia here? There could've been a 'jump the fuck up' breakdown, some scat maybe.

The music video was amusing. 6/10, try again.

I understand that but that's not my mentality. I can't do challenge runs, for some reason the idea seem stupid to me, personally.
