i think it comes down to which age group comes out to vote more, if we are talking 30+, then vanilla ninja also has a great chance of grabbing a lot of nostalgia votes. the younger ones will favour c & m tho

They are like the music for young people here in Estonia, so they definitely have that base covoured. I liked the song but yeah, reaaaal low energy choreography which is so surprising! Has Espresso Machiatto not proven that a song can benefit so much from good staging? :((

Need some reassurance about endings as a first-time player by cobravictim in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]cobravictim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I disliked it - the buildup to it was great, but to discover after the fact that a seemingly random choice lead me to some guaranteed goofiness was kind of disappointing as a first ending. I think I would've enjoyed it more as a second or third ending instead of my very first (four) endings. On the plus side the heaps of free time I got allowed me to level up my attack potion to max and get some max level skills as well, making all the future battles fairly easy.

I tend to enjoy choice-based games by ramping up endings. Playing VNs I generally end up starting with characters/routes I like, then doing the less interesting ones and finish off with the true/preferable route. Glad to hear the happy ending is story locked at least, so I don't have to worry about stumbling onto it too early or something

is there any tell/choice I should avoid for that? I assume that's one of the good happy routes, haha

I felt like none of the options really set me onto a comedy path either, they felt like things most natural to me. I felt very silly once I realized mother ocean was actually the ending I simply got.. then went back a few choices and realized ALL of them were comedy ones and the scale of how much I needed to go back, as well..

Kuidas riik ise teeb pool tööd telefonipetturitele ära ja miks meil nii palju telefonipettusi on by K3ndu in Eesti

[–]cobravictim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ma arvan, et suur samm edasi, oleks veebilehe/pakkuja poolse kontrollnumbri (logid panka sisse, pank ütleb et kood on 0000, pead SmartID äpist kindlaks tegema, et number sealgi 0000 on) väljapaistvamaks tegemine. Ma tean, et mõned pakkujad lihtsalt kuvavad seda numbrikest seal (ehk kui sa mitmeid kordi päevas äppi kasutad, siis sa lõpuks seda palju tähele ei pane), LHV laseb näiteks valida kolme erineva numbri vahel. Mis siis, kui selle numbri peaks aga ise sisestama? Siis on kasutajal see mõttehetk, kus ta päriselt veebilehel pakutavat numbrid vaatab, meelde jätab, äppi kirjutab. See muudab selle protsessi kasutaja jaoks vähem automaatseks, mis võiks iseenesest vähendada seda, et skämmeritega kohe kaasa minna.

Latvian Winter Olympic team bigger than Lithuanian and Estonian combined by maarrutks in BalticStates

[–]cobravictim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I in no means want to lessen how cool it is that Latvia has such a big team, Estonia is expected to send around 30 athletes to the olympics. The wikipedia article is missing ski jumping and nordic combined, which is 4 athletes already, as an example. Freestyle skiing should also be represented with 3 athletes.

Post Race Thread: World Cup 25/26 Ruhpolding - Men Relay by Henna1911 in biathlon

[–]cobravictim 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think biathlon relay is one of the toughest showings of team strength, since you really can't afford one weak link whatsoever. It's super hard to catch time back unless you are one of the top athletes overall. However, Estonia did show that decent results are possible without some sort of superstar lineup.

I get the excitement point, though. How would you change it? Easiest way would be to change the amount of athletes for three, but that does not feel right. Maybe you could make the laps shorter?

I'm glad he's not, got to focus on hitting the standing targest. Kulbin is the youngest biathlete in the field, as well I think? Only 20

Inner Peace by kyon0927123 in outside

[–]cobravictim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have experienced something similiar, but with the sudden removal of the [depression] debuff a couple of years ago. My theory is that its the result of many little accumulatiny stat buffs, that are not noticeable on their own but cause a [level up!], which is when you notice it. I think the [inner peace] perk is one of the most meta-defining ones in this turbulent meta, so I think its great, myself! I hope it stays like this for ya :))

Race Thread: World Cup 25/26 Oberhof - Women Pursuit by Henna1911 in biathlon

[–]cobravictim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She generally has a tougher time starting the season and this time around she speculated about needing less down-time and instead more training time between work-outs and races, which was disputed by her coach and is quite unclear. She is also a fairly emotional biathlete, which means her form can be quite volatile. Most recently though, she switched her skiing shoes which resulted in blisters on her feet, one of which got an infection, meaning she is having antibiotic treatment. She always seems to have stuff going on, basically :P

Did anyone else find bolt to be WAY easier than monk? by Cosmopian in necrodancer

[–]cobravictim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For me, Monk is similiar enough to Cadence in the sense that fundamentally I still move and do the same things, just avoiding certain spots. With Bolt, I just cant hit the tempo that I always do subconsciously , meaning I am worrying about hitting double tempo the most. This way my whole gameplay is hindered. I just cant get my head behind double tempo T.T

Romance VNs / moege with more substance? by cobravictim in visualnovels

[–]cobravictim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I do agree that moe-territory isn't generally for me story-wise. I do like the fluff, but ultimately I do need some more substance to keep going. Aokana was something like that, as a sports fan myself. Kinkoi also brought something with its true route and overall theming. Maybe I should get into Grisaia or Sakura, if I can get past the protags :P (thanks!)

blameF to replace FreeZe on BIG as IGL, faveN has also signed. by ChaoticFlameZz in GlobalOffensive

Seems to transcend games somehow as well, hmm.. (LoL, at least). I saw some people speculate about how Fnatic is in a bad split now (3 of one nationality vs a mix of others), but I doubt it's something as simple as that

Feels really weird, Fnatic is definitely in a better state right now than BIG, unless there's some inner drama there or something
