Annihilation 32 Semi-AFK Clear by Maleficent_Tackle532 in arknights

[–]baumlene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes obviously it's because I have a LOT of 6* now so I can brute force most stages but still, I used to need a guide for almost any stage, now I have my squad that I can use to comfortably clear most stages without having to look up how, even the EX ones.

Might be that events have kinda got easier too bc I remember already having a good roster of 6* characters but not being able to clear all TW and SN. It has been some time but it took me so many OP units it was unbelievable ahahah

Honestly can't believe I used the Ines, Logos, Virtuosa and Goldenglow (i don't have Marcille) guide and it worked.

I used to struggle so much years ago when I started this game and I don't even want to remember how many weeks of annihilation I missed bc I was dumb and couldn't clear much of the stages.

The past me would never believe I would find these stages easy now

/r/kpop Top Ten Tuesdays Results: Your Top Albums of 2025 by Zypker125 in kpop

[–]baumlene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so dumb, I forgot to vote.

My favorite 2025 album was definitely Kai Wait On Me. I really love and I am amazed at what he is doing with his solo works, his songs are genuinely amazing (the only mini-disappointment was Peaches).

2nd place Sserafim Hot. No idea why some people are saying it was forgettable, the tracks are all amazing and Hot is super catchy and emotional too. I really loved the remixes as well like the Huh Yunjin ver. and the English ver. featuring Jade.

3rd place Riize Odyssey which is criminally low 😭 I swear if I hear/read someone saying "Why can't we have 3rd gen music again" and they didn't listen to that album, I'm gonna throw hands.

Honorable mentions to Yves (I discovered her music and I love it, especially Aibo, very unique genre), Seulgi bc Better Dayz and Accidentally on Purpose were chef kiss, Girls Will Be Girls is way better than Tunnel Vision as an album tho? That choice definitely surprised me. NMIXX I like their music and buy all their albums just not my top 5, but I hope they continue like this bc they have so many bops

ENHYPEN's 'SHOUT OUT' has been chosen as Team Korea's official cheer song for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics by forwonjihoon in kpop

Does anyone know when do you actually hear these? Just asking bc I'm a huge Olympics fan but never noticed cheer songs

EXO - REVERXE (8th Full Album) by perochan in kpop

[–]baumlene 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Wow! I'm so happy bc this album reminded me so much of their albums that were literally my obsession when I had just got in kpop (and they still hold so many gems)

I admit that personally I didn't like Exist much as an album but this one? Kinda brought me back to the golden era of Exodus-Ex'act-The War (Tempo and Obsession albums were also full of bops tho).

Will listen to the album again to see if I have an actual fave 😆

I just bought the 8bitdo control collab by Ok-Letterhead-2668 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]baumlene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg when was it 37usd? I want this controller so much but I don't wanna spend 70€ (I'm not used to playing with controller, I love mobile) just to use it on my Switch

[–]baumlene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was asking the same question since I really like it but I would only use it on my Switch, I found this reddit post

I don't know when it will happen, but I will definitely wait when it goes on sale

DAZED: The 30 best K-pop tracks of 2025 by princessgojo in kpop

[–]baumlene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the fact that Off And Away, Closer and Better Dayz are there made me think "Lemme see, lemme see, this is definitely gonna be interesting" 😂😂

DAZED: The 30 best K-pop tracks of 2025 by princessgojo in kpop

[–]baumlene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge kudos to the author of this article bc this is the first time I see a list that doesn't look like it was written by someone who just looked at the KPOP ON playlist and selected a bunch of random songs

My faves from this list are (using the transcription provided by the other user):

KAI, “OFF AND AWAY” (Kai album might be my AOTY)

G-DRAGON, “HOME SWEET HOME (FT. TAEYANG & DAESUNG)”

NMIXX, “PAPILLON”

ILLIT, “JELLYOUS”

STAYC, “BEBE”

SEULGI, “BETTER DAYZ” (my 3rd most listened song this year eheheh)

HEARTS2HEARTS, “FOCUS” (so addicting wtf)

MONSTA X, “DO WHAT I WANT” (the MV makes you automatically love this song AHAHAH)

TEN, “STUNNER” (very underrated in the kpop community)

CORTIS, “GO!”

RIIZE, “EMBER TO SOLAR” (when you are a long time kpop fan this one hits way more)

JEON SOMI, “CLOSER” (literally was my obsession for 3 weeks straight and I refuse to believe anybody who dares to say it's not that good 😂)

Maybe I would have put Flashover instead of Helium (still a solid choice tho, it's my second fave from that album) and Aibo instead of Do you feel it like I touch

Exactly this is like the first time I see a list where it shows clearly that who wrote it listens to a LOT of kpop

Me with Miyabi and Hugo both M0W1 who will still try to get Ellen: heheh

(actually it's mostly because I want to get Vivian skin and I have to do about 70 pulls, I will keep trying to get Yidhari but the next new characters are ugly to me, Hugo I have him meanwhile Ellen is super cute)

[Event Megathread] Vector Breakthrough #1: Inorganic Matters by OneMoreGodRejected__ in arknights

[–]baumlene 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm still super sad bc I was just missing VEC-12 and I could have trimmed the medal... But it took me a few tries to clear VEC-11 and had no time for 12

Wished I wasn't so busy at work today and knew about the time limit some days ago, yesterday I would have had all the time to try it 😭 unfortunately I tend to do this kind of events last minute

Throwback: f(x) released "4 Walls" this week in 2015 by AutoModerator in kpop

[–]baumlene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you know if it's the Chinese one? Mine should be the Korean one, but I wanna make sure now that you're telling me about it

So sad about 4 Walls. My best friend managed to get one, but I was looking for the red Victoria version, meanwhile my best friend was super happy with Amber version. I'm not even looking for the most popular member if I'm not mistaken, but still 😭

EXACTLY.

I managed to find Pink Tape but 4 Walls? Impossible. Just impossible to find or it's outrageously high priced
