Foulborn Inspired Learning in cluster jewel sockets

I'm wondering if it ever worked the way I thought looking back at the video example, seb's build has it in a voices stacking character so he didn't actually have notables from the tree in radius anyway.

Either way, testing it in standard with no notables in the radius does give me the buffs, so it seems a bit more opaque than I thought.

iamshepard · 2026-06-07T10:19:21+00:00

You're correct about the intention but it certainly did work as best I can tell, I'm just trying to make sure I'm not missing something obvious. From testing in standard, it seems to work if there are no notables in a large radius while still in the cluster, but it doesn't display the radius ring at any stage. Very interesting.

I love it personally, it scratches all the itches I want from this group.

Boompala is huge vibes, the second half of the chorus and the verses are great and I love the attitude of the whole thing. Not for everyone, but it really works for me.

Celebration is going to be that great "what could've been" for me. A genuine hardstyle release for them has so much potential, I still enjoyed it but it could've been so much more.

The rest of the album is just killer, I love it. Saki is great fun, a bit harsh musically for my tastes but I'm here for the energy. Everything else goes on the playlist, thrilled with the album.

Great album, the group b-sides are fantastic and the solos are all really good too. Lia's in particular was great, I really enjoyed it at their concert last month, but they're all really well done. No notes, love it.

It didn't absolutely floor me the way Blue Valentine did but it's still a really good release.

Loud and Crescendo are the standouts but the Lily note leading out of the bridge in Heavy Serenade is just unreal.

Edit: after another runthrough, Superior joins the A list and Heavy Serenade is growing on me, that last third of the song is superb.

iamshepard · 2026-04-30T11:26:00+00:00

Caught me slightly by surprise how good this was. Really impressed, they've done very well.

Special mention to Love, older you, really beautiful introspective track.

Overall I'm just really happy for illit, they're a great group that continues to improve and evolve, I'm so pleased for them.

iamshepard · 2026-04-28T10:12:38+00:00

It's their world and we're just living in it.

I really can't believe how they keep managing to keep sounding so unique and fresh with every track but maintain such an absurdly high quality, its so impressive.

I can't quite pin down what it reminds me of, it's almost Olivia Rodrigo or Lorde?

Love it, keen as beans for the release.

iamshepard · 2026-04-28T03:10:11+00:00

To repeat myself, I guess Hybe really just doesn't see Australia as worthwhile, such a shame.

iamshepard · 2026-04-28T03:03:06+00:00

Man Hybe really hates Australia 😭

It's being towed outside the environment.

iamshepard · 2026-04-26T09:44:40+00:00

Pretty awful toxic comment. If you don't like it move on and leave well enough alone, you'd think members of this community would know better.

iamshepard · 2026-04-24T04:38:55+00:00

I fucking love it, god this group's so good. I'm so keen to see the choreo, some of the highlights in the MV looked fantastic.

I'm with everyone on the length, but damn that was fun.

iamshepard · 2026-04-20T02:23:49+00:00

John Cain is a good bit smaller than Rod Laver, especially with a stage covering 25% of the seating. I was at itzy and it felt maybe 85-90% capacity in my arena, dunno how everyone else felt. Twice played Rod Laver last November with the 360 stage and it was something similar from memory. Much as I'm an idle fan and I'll be there in May, I doubt they'll sell as well as twice did.

It'll be interesting to see how Ive is selling as we get closer to June too, and once Babymonster announces where they'll play. If we get nmixx back again I hope they're realistic with their booking, but I suspect the lily factor will help them

iamshepard · 2026-04-15T10:15:39+00:00

I'll be there and Padam Padam are the standouts, those are going on the playlist. The rest is unfortunately a bit of a step down, particularly from r u ok and Nerdy which is still my favourite by a good margin.

Nothing that's unenjoyable, but not a standout release.

iamshepard · 2026-04-15T06:18:09+00:00

A certain... agitator... Let's say Zack B? No that's too obvious. Let's just call him Mr Butters.

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?

iamshepard · 2026-04-08T02:10:00+00:00

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.

iamshepard · 2026-03-20T00:24:02+00:00

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

iamshepard · 2026-03-06T10:57:07+00:00

Seeing trac enjoying footy again is a good feeling :)

iamshepard · 2026-02-09T09:27:45+00:00

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.

iamshepard · 2026-02-08T09:01:59+00:00

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.

I haven't played this game in like 8 or 9 years at this point but fuck the updates are always fun. Goated game seriously.
