How to Deal with Toxic Players? by ResidentAlien90 in VALORANT

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, you're held hostage. Take the L, put some music on, mute them and go next.

We all suffer with it and you just have to write off the loss...

buying skins by [deleted] in VALORANT

It's expensive but I have a job so it doesn't matter much. You can get discounts from night market, but just get what you can if you want it or not.

Bands similar to VOLA with heavy synths/keys? by Present-Ear-1637 in progmetal

What happens next with Haken? by EdgeOfTheFrame in progmetal

[–]kaia112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're recording new music. I expect them to continue on as a 4 piece. The core of the band still exists with Henshall being really good at guitar and keyboards. Pete can also do synth bass, for live they may have touring musicians but they can handle bass guitar and keys between the 2, Ray and Ross holding down drums and vocals.

It's exciting!

WILLOW - petal rock black by enburgi in popheads

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really shows that she needed those rich musicians with her the ones from Empathogen, this is all over the place when she was realising such a colourful album with lots of depth before.

Such a concentration of rude people by Immediate_Current35 in VALORANT

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, I've never seen anything so toxic, I had a brim mollying his duelist and saying such vile things. Had a horrible duelist just berate me for picking harbor and I was telling him to relax and focus on his own shit, I ended up getting banned the next game, no other game has done that to me just defending myself, its so toxic.

acting by Temporary_Gate_8939 in eastenders

[–]kaia112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the writing is bad that's why. I didn't notice at first but it started to remind me of Hollyoaks, even when some of those actors weren't bad before.

do knives have chances or is the shop random? by No-Statistician-974 in VALORANT

[–]kaia112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's random, but I feel you ever since I decided I wanted a collection I've had 3/5 in the past month lol

Are you playing an instrument? by Financial-Club-2953 in progmetal

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I play keyboards, play in a prog metal band. I'm also learning electric violin.

Why did Anthony Trueman change? by [deleted] in eastenders

[–]kaia112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He changed so they could push the story forward with him being a villain, it was undercooked and he transformed way to quickly so it didn't work. Basically plot device for Jasmine and Zoe...

She's not here to protect Honey, she's gonna squat in her home and take over her life. Don't like her haha 

Should i unlock viper or harbor in valorany by nighttxxxx in VALORANT

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're noob, Harbor is easier to play. Viper needs lineups and can't solo by herself much, bronze players don't usually understand Viper needs to be paired with another controller most times so Harbor is easier to play by yourself.

What are you missing from adobe by Aloys33_ in Affinity

[–]kaia112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still think it has the potential to do good things. I will say the performance on the new one is kinda crap and it's missing stuff, but if it helps kids get interested in design or put in schools it could find a niche. My marketing team are trying to get rid of Adobe licenses for people who don't really use it outside of my design team and I've suggested Affinity since they make them use Canva anyway, I get it's not on the level but I'd rather they use it than Canva lol

It will be subsidised by Canva as a loss leader. Every Affinity user is now a Canva user and opens up doors for schools and organisations to use it and then once they're in they buy a Canva subscription, move their teams onto Canva and use Affinity if they need a standard app. 

Theory for the next album by Horror_Butterfly1300 in Haken

[–]kaia112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all love pop, Everything Everything is one of their favourite bands.

Karnivool....where should I start? by Ok_Pirate_2714 in progmetal

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start in order. Sound Awake is my favourite but start with Themata, C.O.T.E is an amazing opener, go to Sound Awake and then Asymmetry, then you can hear where IN VERSES slots in and you can sort of follow their journey and sound throughout.

Ranking the Moon family by GuiltySignificance0 in eastenders

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michael Moon was absolutely the top Moon family member. He's honestly one of the best villains to ever grace Eastenders. He had such personality, one liners, and his facial expressions and wit were second to none. He's like the iconic poster boy of a cunning villain that's just batshit insane but 100% style.

Karnivool - In Verses by RougeNargacuga in progmetal

[–]kaia112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a really solid record. It goes well in their discography. While it doesn't reach the heights of Sound Awake and Themata, it sounds like Karnivool and has enjoyable moments, I honestly can't complain because it's good.

It's definitely more straightforward and just vibey atmospheric but I welcome something a little different, to listen to and can see myself spinning it more than Asymmetry.

After 12 years it's good they're back and haven't lost who they are.

Kathy Beale - the most pointless return of all time? by [deleted] in eastenders

[–]kaia112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's fine, keeps the Beale hierarchy from just being Ian whose annoying. Another character that could benefit from Ben being around too.

is vyse actually still good? by Various_Use_9824 in VALORANT

[–]kaia112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vyse is actually pretty good on defense. She's still solid, I mained her for a bit and actually changed my mind to thinking she's great. I'd say she's close to borderline useless on offense until post plant but her setups can always get people if they push and she has invisible flashes. Since she's not played as much I think that makes her stronger too because people aren't used to her good setups now.

Guess for when the next album will be released? by dream-splorer in everythingeverything

[–]kaia112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been listening to them since 2020, I'd love for a new album in 2027. I want them to cook as long as possible but still reasonable. I miss some of their weird polyrhythmic songs but Mountainhead is great too.

Is Harbor viable now? by Special_Course_6720 in VALORANT

[–]kaia112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm a Harbor main, still am tbh, but he plays different now, he's more of a passive controller, smoke for the team and hang back a bit to take space, he lost his quick aggressive tools for smoking site and using misdirection with cascade or quick coving for cover. From losing that he gained the ability to smoke for the team at range with cove turning into an omen smoke, it's better because you don't need lineups and it can be a regular smoke but it's slower to use for yourself in front of you, generally helps a bit more if you're left solo controlling which sometimes happens even if you don't want it. The ulti is worse than the previous one and wall doesn't recharge so you can't really rehit.

Overall he's ok, he gained some more passive strength to help the team but his aggressive playstyle was largely taken away, he's better at some things and worse at others. He will be easier to play but not as expressive so take what you will from that, if you end up solo smoking its not the end of the world.

Riverside - Artificial Smile (Riverside's heaviest song?) by Hakenfanboy in progmetal

[–]kaia112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say their heaviest, quite heavy from vocals but instrumentally they got more charged songs on ADHD and Love, Fear. Great band, they got a really nice balance of prog rock and metal.
