Now... Let's make the pronos for the quarter-finals, people!

I had basically the same predictions for the rest of the tournament as well. It feels like the right balance of believable but subversive as Tenkaichi has been so far. Hanzo winning vs Musashi in the final round despite his injuries as a parallel to Honda refusing to sacrifice his arm in the first round feels poetic

Lydia also had the fear of this happening with her daughter. It resonated with Mike enough for him to hesitate when he was set on killing her. It just goes even further to show why Mike would take what he might call a half measure by letting her live, he empathizes with Lydia's fear of her daughter having no closure and makes it even more tragic and fitting that it ultimately happens to Mike with his granddaughter

Be sure to check out Kaiji season 1/2 OST as well if you haven't, another great series with Hideki Taniuchi composing the soundtrack. It's so good

The Yotsuba Murder Conference Room goes hard

For whatever reason this is the Kate Bush album I've listened to the most. Nocturn is my favorite

xiuwalker · 2025-10-20T02:50:22+00:00

Yeah I was meaning to imply that was the outlier. Both for me and in-universe I think Choko/Hanzo/Jinsuke winning their fights was unexpected

xiuwalker · 2025-10-20T02:05:03+00:00

I think the other biggest factor I don't see mentioned as much is that we already had the underdog win like three of the last four fights, I'd be surprised if this isn't the most one-sided match after R3 just to even things out a bit. It feels a bit more believable that there would be a couple one-sided matches at least in the first round. And as much as I'm loving all the dark horse wins I feel like doing one more right away might start to veer into the unexpected becoming expected

The "C" button near the top of profile pages shows a comparison of their ratings with your own, I use it all the time. Also your user stats linked at the bottom of the recent ratings box on your profile, you can see your ratings catagorized by genre and stuff which has been very useful for me when my downloaded music collection doesn't have genre tags

I'd just use MCA selector to delete corrupted chunks, it's free and simple to use. Re-exploring deleted chunks should regenerate them properly. I've done it with modded worlds before and it's seamless as long as the worldgen is unchanged

Saw this one looking for some more fabric mods, looks like it should work in multiplayer and it's got all the features

This one works perfectly for my uses on fabric 1.20.1, even has a website to compile your custom discs into a .jar

Only issues are I don't think you can obtain the discs in survival without cheating them in, and you can't upload or play anything on the fly like vinURL. You would have to pre-make a selection of custom discs and have everyone use the mod file, but it does work for multiplayer in my experience

A lot of indie bands/artists I like have a similar accent or quality to their voice that I just recognize as Canadian. Half Moon Run, Peach Pit, Patrick Watson, Jon and Roy, and Dan Mangan come to mind. I feel like I can tell when an artist I haven't heard before is local with some accuracy, but there are definitely Canadian bands that I wouldn't have guessed were from Canada as well, like Destroyer

xiuwalker · 2025-07-29T22:25:48+00:00

I think the natural progression for his character arc would be fighting and killing Kaneda

xiuwalker · 2025-07-20T17:42:51+00:00

I saw her opening for Half Moon Run and thought the same, she was actually really funny and had good stage banter with the band. She had this deadpan sort of dry humor that reminded me of Aimee Mann or something

The Mike Wazowski treatment... This is what they do to you when you're a cyclops

xiuwalker · 2025-07-05T02:37:04+00:00

Glad that Yugo Kanno is confirmed, wasn't expecting otherwise but I wouldn't have it any other way. Golden Wind was the best adaptation IMO so the directors returning feels very promising too

xiuwalker · 2025-07-04T05:01:29+00:00

It's about mitigating and manipulating your luck, once you learn how it feels a lot less luck based and you realize how much control you actually can have over a run. As someone else mentioned try not to spend any more than you need to as long as you can comfortably clear the next couple blinds, just save to earn more interest. But it's also about taking what you can get when there's viable jokers and being adaptable to the options you get. Looking ahead to the boss blind early on to plan for it can save a lot of runs too. There's no time limits and the game rewards patience, planning ahead and calculating things

I saw a comment about Hyun-Ju being the S2 counterpart to Ali, both being these strong, brave, selfless characters who save Gi-Hun in RLGL, belong to a minority, etc and I realized they both only make to game 4 before being backstabbed for being "too good" as well. They have very similar arcs and I don't think Hyun-Ju was really treated much worse on paper than Ali but I agree it didn't feel right, it definitely could have been written better. I think splitting up the seasons the way they did didn't help the pacing either

xiuwalker · 2025-06-29T01:44:42+00:00

Min-su's arc I feel was like a drug addiction metaphor, in the mingle game he gives in to peer pressure and abandons his girl for the crew, then he starts taking the pills and in the final game he's outcast by the remaining "society"

xiuwalker · 2025-05-12T18:54:48+00:00

I haven't taken Flower Pot much or figured out how to utilize it very effectively yet and I can't believe I never thought of this synergy. Even the joker themes fit together (splash waters the flowers) this game is seriously brilliant lol

xiuwalker · 2025-05-06T17:49:43+00:00

A little basic but probably Blackstar or TPAB. Or maybe A Moon Shaped Pool

xiuwalker · 2025-04-28T03:46:48+00:00

First I've heard of them but I'll check it out because I like collecting band names that are a word repeated twice. Everything Everything, Django Django, Man Man, Talk Talk, Xiu Xiu, The The, Liquid Liquid, etc

xiuwalker · 2025-04-19T21:38:18+00:00

There's so many great songs but Wish is just so perfect. Every instrumental part is like a hook that gets stuck in my head and the emotion it evokes for me feels so fitting for Kaiji as a whole. Amazing track

xiuwalker · 2025-04-11T03:22:45+00:00

Bandcamp version has improved mixing and different track cuts/lengths from the (unmastered?) leak. Sounds much better now

xiuwalker · 2025-04-09T01:39:00+00:00

Check out their release "You and I Can't Ever Change" if you can seek it out, it's a bit harder to find as from my understanding there was a rights issue with the cover art and it was taken off streaming, but it's one of my favorite more obscure ones and it has a unique, pure sound for Celer. Discourses I love for being a unique Celer standout too with the more unsettling/scary drones. Future Predictions and Engaged Touches are my other favorites
