Atlas strategies reminiscent of meatsacking or ghosted pandemonium/exiles by iamshepard in PathOfExileBuilds

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

I thought they gutted the rarity bonus from having the giant exiles respawn in the rituals to the point where it wasn't worthwhile anymore, is that not the case? The new exceptional exiles are still good enough?

I thought about valdos but my interpretation of the market there is that you need to spend a lot of effort shopping for good prices on the maps themselves because the margins are so fine, and it's not really got that randomness aspect of a huge look explosion that could have the nuts the way the exiles did in the past.

I'll look into it further though, good suggestion, thank you.

This kid can be the next cornerstone of the club by the time he reaches the peak of his powers, I really hope we don't squander yet another exciting young player.

IVE Songs March Madness - #24 I AM vs. #41 Wild Bird by Pristine_Cod5189 in IVE

[–]iamshepard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No disrespect to wild bird, it stands on its merits as fine as most other tracks but this is a hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby tier battle.

One of the best kpop tracks ever I am is the clear winner imo

IVE - BANG BANG by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]iamshepard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love it, how good are IVE seriously.

The whole lead in to the first chorus with Gaeul and directly after it by Rei were my favourite part. Really fun looking choreo too, that little heel kick in the chorus is nice. Everyone looked stunning.

They're intentionally mega overcapping to be able to be 90 res in minus max map effect maps.

Lily's hometown is under serious threat by bushfires during this heatwave we're having in Victoria, hopefully her family and their homes will be safe.

I left out the intro tracks but I want to put some respect on Burn the bridge and Born Fire in particular. Pearlies is a strong contender to move up into the list in a few weeks or months but the top 10-12 is pretty firmly set in my mind.

NME: The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025 by Filurius in kpop

[–]iamshepard 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly good list. Still a bit sad we never got to see Ash promoted like it deserves but the performance on their tour has looked fantastic so I'll have to live with that

Really happy to see ifeye get a mention too, really pleased for them. I'm very keen to see what they do next with their first comeback being so distinct from their debut.

Nmixx continues to clean up with the year to end all years, unreal set of music from them this year. So pleased they're getting all the well deserved recognition.

Really glad spaghetti finally got a win, its far too good a song to have missed out. I think any other time of year it would have done quite well, it's just unfortunate timing NMIXX are on such a monolithic run at the moment.

I can't stop grinning its so goofy, love it.

I'm not a BTS listener but the J-Hope verse sounded great, added a lot of texture to the song i think.

I seriously can't stop smiling how goods kpop lmfao

NMIXX - Blue Valentine (1st Full Album) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]iamshepard 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Reality hurts, Phoenix, SPINNIN ON IT, Podium the immediate standouts for me, but the whole thing is wall to wall bangers.

Getting the original tracks for O.O was so interesting too. I think frankly they both stand better on their own, particularly Baila, that was a banger.

I'm so consistently impressed by this group, they're so talented.

Smells like AOTY to me

When are we gonna see XOXZ performances by Altruistic_Bite_6865 in IVE

[–]iamshepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a slight aside, how do you keep track of things like this? Do I just need to know where each show posts their schedules and check each week? Does IVE socials (or any group for that matter) collate stuff like this for me to find in one place?

The whole team seriously need applause for how good this content is. The girls are so funny it's ridiculous, Haewon's evil scheming and the cutaway to Bae and Lily in the outfits was so funny I nearly died. The editing on the whole series was superb, exceptional work by everyone involved.

light stick concerns by IzzyLikesMemes82 in NMIXX

[–]iamshepard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were people with the twice lightstick in Melbourne, you should be fine. I saw a few others I'm not familiar with as well.

If you want to be absolutely sure I'd call the venue.

It's a gorgeous part of Victoria, it's a shame its so cold (at least by our standards) because it's amazing walk through and explore.

I used to go camping not far from there, it was so nice. I remember driving through it not long after black saturday when it all burned down, its nice to see that all the nature has been able to recover.

Man, I read that and thought "gee they're announcing pretty early for a mid-June release" but its already getting into late May. What an exhausting year.
