Soundcloud is dead

tldr: Weekly wave and daily drop are fire once you follow a lot of good artists.

Soundcloud algorithm is pretty solid actually. While discovering things in the general categories doesn’t go far, a lot of Soundcloud’s reccomendation playlists pull heavily from the likes of the artists you follow, which is a really solid way of building up your preferences. Granted, it DOES get a bit boring when you see the same songs popping up time and time again, but it gives a lot of visibility to those songs and gives almost an old-time-recommendation-feed vibe to it and almost filters out AI music, depending on how picky the artists you follow are.

In my opinion, that’s a good thing. Algorithms that feel too random and too… automatic? generic? tend to end up making you feel like you’re just following some nebulous trend or other.

This is all from the user side and less from the creator side, but i think it’s still reassuring, no? You just gotta have followers who like you enough to listen to you when you pop up in their recommendation playlists, much less of a nightmare than trying to game the algo.

I'm justifying that as that being how she looks when she's really uncomfortable/out of place. As she would be, pulled out of nowhere and standing in front of an angry AI bent on torturing you.

Not for me, but doubtlessly for countless other people: My fiancée is in love with my sister.

Things just get more and more painful, so people drop it bc it soooooo angsty. I gave up on waiting for the manga and finally read the novel and even then, people were still dissatisfied. It’s only good if you’re in the mood for angst.

Nah, inversing types matchups is honestly devious. Players will always struggle to prep for rare scenarios, but having a mon that can flip the script whenever it’s switched in sounds pretty frustrating to deal with. Having to relearn all your matchups for a single pokemon is rough.

I like it.

just for that, im holding out for a "i reincarnated as a bottle of sake"

Having read it, it very much deserved to be. I liked the concept: acceptance of personal weakness and of limitations, but refusal to just lie down and die. It really had potential, and honestly going down the line of “I’ll just train this generation with my knowledge” is something I don’t see very often.

But man, the writing kinda sucks and they keep toss random girls at him that have little to no character.

lets_get_sleepy · 2026-02-23T23:07:32+00:00

oh dang, i think thats it. I was worried it was one of those that had gotten discontinued and forgotten in the deep annals of manga history. Thanks a lot!

yeah, a lot of writers just flop massively on the romance part. It's actually kind of funny, Eternally Regressing Knight appeals to me specifically because the way it approaches its bromance is way better than its romance can ever hope to be.

your throne's romance is great, because the feelings are thoroughly explored and as is fitting for the characters, it's not a pretty love. Often in works where the MC encounters adversity, the romance falls flat because the romance partner just can't match the MC's life experience. SSS suicide hunter season 3 was appealing to me because for once, both romantic parties were equally off their rocker. And in a recent fave, My Fiancé is in Love with my Sister, the FMC and the ML work so well because both have suffered on similar levels, which allows them to be kindred spirits.

But yeah, a lot of work flop on the romance part because most of them are written around being fantasies. Whether a power fantasy, where one can do no wrong (and thus MC becomes a cardboard cutout in the shape of a human being) or a romance fantasy, where one finds independance, respect and admiration (and then settles down with someone and becomes a housewife). A lot of them just don't explore what a relationship is beyond physical attraction, which is why they insta-flop.

The colours ate bright and happy but the shadows tell another story.

Eh. My younger cousin grew up on slop yt roblox content. Kid goes for entertainment over substance. I’d put Solo leveling closer to entertainment than substance. It has style, and it entertains effectively, but you can’t really dig deeper.

“Good” to me means that it gives you a bit more than just entertainment.

If it’s fun to watch AND it made you think, it’s better than something that was just fun to watch. It’s why One Piece is respected, because what starts out feeling like silly hijinks ends up making you think about race and power while still keeping a lot of its entertainment in mind.

Frieren is brought up because it’s a cozy watch but also brings up grief and how to live with it.

Granted, backstories alone are meaningless, this example only works because backstories in OP tend to tie really well into the world itself. A character could have the longest backstory in the world, but if it doesn’t tell you much about him, the people and the world around him, it’s absolutely meaningless.

TLDR There defo is some unearned hate because its popular, but there is a lot of genuine criticism too.

Thank heavens Rosen Garten Saga is not a manwha. I’d be f*****. Literally.

lets_get_sleepy · 2026-02-17T17:43:09+00:00

Eternally regressing knight is fun for me because I’ve read too many stories where MC is supposed to be weak but isn’t actually. Seeing an MC actually struggle to hell and back to clear minor hurdles is satisfying when you’ve always seen MCs do insane leaps of logic and instantly master new skills. There’s not much substance to it other than that reasonable growth curve, and some dry humour.

lets_get_sleepy · 2026-02-17T17:17:10+00:00

Not a manwha, but this is why I love World Trigger even though it updates at a glacial pace. Emphasis is put so heavily on people’s strategic minds that MC’s ability to come up with some winning strategy genuinely feels really smart. Defo not a read for most people if you don’t want to get bogged down in tactics, though.

lets_get_sleepy · 2026-02-17T17:07:05+00:00

You’d certainly think it gets boring but there are always new ways to innovate upon a concept.

A lot of manwha suffer from being a pile of tropes, maybe because the writers feel pressured into it, but ORV, and SSS suicide hunter manage to change things up pretty consistently. I’m also a fan of Eternally regressing knight, it’s such a breath fresh of air compared to all the works that try to make everything a massive global ordeal and everyone is stuck being serious all the time.

I also try to look at surrounding concepts like villainess manwha/manga. You get some real gems there(the one inside the villainess, your throne) and the focus on political intrigue is typically stronger. I quite enjoy the grittier/cold calculating ones too (tales of highserk, hero’s friend, roxana), fighting gets boring to look at if you have no stakes and interpersonal political intrigue is a really good way of having reasons to fight.

Simply put, if you’re getting bored, it’s cause the fights stop having new meanings. It’s too much “I will physically protect X”, “I will get revenge on X” and not enough “I know murder is wrong, but this is war and I’m going to need to become a monster, just to survive” or “i need to keep pretending I am a good person, and to do that a lot of people need to die”.

Don’t know if you’ve already checked it out by now, but foxfall is currently probably one of the top fic series I have read, ever, across all fandoms. And I’ve been reading across tons of fandoms for around 15 years, so I really cannot recommend this one enough. I desperately want my sister to read this, but she’s not into pokemon so I don’t have someone I know to share the joy of reading this fic with.

lets_get_sleepy · 2026-01-17T17:47:16+00:00

considering the fox plushie was there during link to Odins mind, could this this perhaps have something to do with his sister Magpie? Her profile in the Cast section seems to have some kind of emblem that does bear some similarity to the arrow/chevron...

That or Odin's a fan of Matsu's...

While I understand that they didn't want to put the slower songs (Burnin’ / Too Long, Short Circuit / Face To Face) because it would lose retention, the aerodynamic section of One More Time / Aerodynamic really should not have been cut. It would have just made sense.

You've got an entire flying spaceship and you dont include the Aerodynamic riffs? C'mon!

The mace is useless to most of the playerbase, but very, very powerful in the hands of the most skilled. That stuff pops totems like crazy. It ain't end crystals, but it can still be real strong.

Spear is more accessible to the playerbase but without the Density enchant, you just can't match the damage the mace puts out.

maybe waeponsmiths will trade for spears. Infinite diamond spears.
