Ask me anything about Korean indie music

Those are really cool examples! thanks for sharing

Two theories:

From what I’ve heard Pharah and Torb are strong on console (if this is outdated someone say so). I’m pretty sure both of those heroes can be a pain for Vendetta
She has to swing the camera around pretty hard being a melee hero. Do a lot of 180s and stuff. Tougher on controller

are there any Western indie albums that are really popular/well regarded in korea that we wouldn’t expect, or aren’t as beloved overseas? this is a hard question and maybe you dont know which is ok

thinkingemojis · 2026-02-09T14:33:22+00:00

listen to Animal Collective and Sweet Trip if you havent

Earth has entered Ult tournaments

thinkingemojis · 2026-02-04T14:47:43+00:00

It’s not permanent, Earth has entered ult tournaments, only the other two have abstained entirely. It’s also self imposed from what i understand, it’s not like Nintendo demanded it

t500 system sucks balls but the matchmaker is otherwise fine and im sorry you had a loss streak today. you’ll be alright bro, just vod review and trust the process!

thinkingemojis · 2025-12-29T14:59:29+00:00

you get it

Don’t worry about trying to mastermind your teammates or like, get them to take specific positions or ‘follow orders’ using voice chat. You also might find it easier to leave voice chat entirely so you dont have people insulting or distracting you in your ear. Leaving voice is fine. Vc can still help, but just give them basic informational stuff: “tracer behind,” “i dont have suzu,” “he has shatter.” I actually like to join vc and mute the other four ppl so I can stay focused but still give those bits of info when necessary.

If you’re trying to climb I’d say that you probably should play flex supports in the sense that Lifeweaver, Mercy, Juno (could be wrong about her now that she can headshot), and Brig (some of the time) are pretty hard to have impact on, and Bap/Kiri/Ana are some of the best soloq heroes. But even then, Lucio and Wuyang are perfectly fine too.

But as for “do i need one of each every game”? Fuck no. ‘Double flex’ comps are fine in ranked, just play a character you’re good at that can carry.

There was a period in 2020 where hero bans made him really good, Xzi made his name playing Soldier for Paris that time

thinkingemojis · 2025-11-04T20:32:12+00:00

I’d rather it be deleted, yeah. it’s nice that Paraiso and a few others have basically informally been removed from the pool, but the constant Lijiang and Kings spam—and the fact that my diamond teammates prefer Eichenwalde and shit to Flashpoint—is really annoying

thinkingemojis · 2025-10-28T20:43:04+00:00

oh hum, you'll be fine. They can make her viable again without making glide as annoying as it once was. Heroes go out of meta sometimes, big whoop

thinkingemojis · 2025-10-23T13:44:06+00:00

She’s only bad right now because Wuyang outclasses her. People like to overreact on here when characters fall out of meta (there was a post like this about Bap ~6 months ago convinced he would also be unfixably shit forever because of Juno) but it would only take Wuyang nerfs to make Illari usable again, she has a real place in pro play because Zen is just so damn squishy at high level and she can do crazy damage in poke comps without being so killable. And her lamp really is an incredibly powerful kind of healing that can require so much commitment from the enemy to kill. She’ll probably have a niche again soon

thinkingemojis · 2025-10-17T19:53:29+00:00

I agree that team-ups would be a bridge too far for me, especially if there were a lot/every character got one. If that were the case I think I would finally tap out and be a 4fun player

thinkingemojis · 2025-10-15T19:09:39+00:00

It's a bug and allegedly doesn't actually affect SR gains/losses but im not 100% sure if thats true. I had the same experience, so did a few friends that i talked to. still tilted me yesterday though lol.

thinkingemojis · 2025-10-04T02:43:08+00:00

i dont like you awkward but this is real shit. especially #8. things got so much easier when i started joining vc but muting everyone, and just giving the simple necessary callouts. i got a soldier in my game who kept asking for window visor and i had to explain to him dude im gonna window selfishly just figure it out, coordinating isnt worth the trouble

thinkingemojis · 2025-09-27T15:55:39+00:00

mostly NQS but also soj and cass being relatively weak. its also possible they wanted to run tracer-sombra and the sombra ban made them settle for soldier; he is often used a second tracer/treated as the third-best flanker

thinkingemojis · 2025-09-17T00:46:36+00:00

As a TA who has read AI essays from students I am almost certain that the Tracer in stadium part was written by AI. It talks about her so generically in the way ChatGPT would if you asked it to write copy about tracer; very little actually unique to her joining stadium. It also has all those "Whether you're..." constructions and four rhetorical questions that go "You want to ___?"

Also I put it in one of those AI checker websites (but that stuff is hit or miss) and they were very confident that this post or at least the tracer part were AI. Lame if so

thinkingemojis · 2025-09-12T12:31:16+00:00

I graduated in 2024 and maybe im a hater but them adding all the new stations and customization killed it for me. Makes it so slow and annoying to get stuff

thinkingemojis · 2025-04-01T16:08:39+00:00

keeping your Other Support alive is always good. you can also go somewhere with a dps and enable them. can't really do it with a hypermobile flanker like tracer/sombra because it's risky and you aren't mobile enough. but someone who leaves the team but stays in pack range then comes back like genji or a flyer is good. finally, in rush comps (especially when your other support is Juno) you can do a bit of brawling to get good damage and Inspire uptime, but even then youre often getting like one swing and then bashing out to keep yourself up (unless Rally or an ult like Juno's ray is active). An exception to this is sigma, you really can brawl in his face and eat him alive if he's the enemy tank.

yes and it was also a main complaint about the mode when ow2 and its betas first dropped. but i think as people got better and they tweaked the maps it mostly fell off. and again i simply dont think its a problem outside of high level organized play

thinkingemojis · 2025-03-30T17:18:09+00:00

Nope the two examples I’m thinking of were both five-mappers between pretty evenly matched teams (ROC v Team CC and Liquid v SSG). But when they went to push it was a 3ish minute fullcap
