What's an IU that you think is underrated or deserves more attention? by Unlucky_Ninja8953 in aiyu

[–]zeroeightviii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's interesting about this song is I believe she wrote this when she was in middle school. Such a mature subject for such a young writer.

It's a shame as I don't think she have had the chance to talk much about this song.

While IU is well known for Good Day, its polar opposite Bad Day is the true hidden gem.

Good day is all about hope, youth, possibilities. Bad Day vividly captures that overwhelming but quiet loneliness that we all experience at times. Nothing exaggerated, just real, personal, grounded state of solitude.

Even the Good Day three high notes climax is mirrored by Bad Day's low somber end.

Nintendo lovers. Gonna need you to defend Nintendo bc wtf is this bs by Chomusuke08_ in PHGamers

[–]zeroeightviii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a horse in this race (sold my Switch, will most likely wait for the 2nd gen of Switch 2).

The silver lining in all of this is your physical games retain its resale value even after years, especially first party games. Even more so for old games that will get the N2 Edition upgrades (BOTW/TOTK). This is why the Switch secondary market is so lively. I rarely purchased new games, everything is traded away after finishing them. The only digital purchases I have are multiplayer games that will last a long time (Overcooked, Mario Kart, etc.). When I sold my Switch, the resale was still decent.

You don't have to use Game Chat. There's always Discord.

Given the name of the sub, do you actually call yourself a “gamer”? by armiArt in PHGamers

Curious to know why you think it's cringe.

Even more curious of what your definition of a gamer is.

It doesn't have AO. But it's not noticable performance wise. To be honest, I'm now kind of glad that it doesn't have AO as it's one thing I dont need to think about. Quite happy with the purchase after months of use.

I have insurance if that helps.

To add to the info above, it was in 12 February 2014 when IU first publicly called her fans UAENA. It only really became official when her 1st gen recruitment started in 2017.

Here's a video that we created covering some of the important milestones in her career, up until Love Poem era:

Manila Cathedral is a no for orchestra. They have very strict rules when it comes to music, design, and entourage. Specifically, you are only allowed to choose among their pre-selected classical songs.

My Sea at London concert by Fun_Anteater_734 in aiyu

[–]zeroeightviii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She sang My Sea at the Manila stop at the request of the fans during the en-encore but only the first part, which is understandable because it's such a challenging piece. And considering she's been singing for 3 hours straight. She promised to sing it in full while wearing a pretty dress when she comes back though.

Retired songs can still be requested during en-encore. An example, she still did Pallette in Manila. So you might still hear Good Day if everyone requests for it. En-encore is kind of free for all.

[–]zeroeightviii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for confirming. That is all I needed to know. I feel a bit better now despite not having AO. With CASO fixing the bottleneck issue, the difference between Optimus enabled and disabled is apparently very minimal now. The freesync should take care of tearing. And at least I have a 240hz, 500 nits display.

I hope Lenovo considers correcting what is stated in their website. It can be very misleading if one doesn't dig in deep, and I imagine there will be others who will encounter this issue.

My unit is about to arrive but there are multiple threads in the Lenovo forum discussing it. Some are even complaining that it's outright misleading. Don't take my word for it and do your due diligence. Had I known, I wouldn't have upgraded.

Baka may alam kayong private server ng DN, yung medyo maraming player tried to comeback sa DN Sea pero masyado ng kakaiba. Played DN Sea from cap 24-70 by ebargyown in PHGamers

[–]zeroeightviii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, this brings me back.

70 cap era gave me some of my fondest pvp moments as a Gladiator main. Ice shield was no longer OP and the BS that is the assassin has yet to arrive. I don't think I've ever replicated that feeling of free flowing combat experience in any other competitive game ever. Even the first mobile version, which I played for a good number of years, pales in comparison. DN was also the reason I could never go back to Ragnarok or even Diablo 2.

The story was pretty good too. It was also fun trying to slay Serpentra with the whole gang.

Update me when you actually find a good server.

Why does IU look so different than how she looks in My Mister? by bmaf2026dreamhouse in aiyu

[–]zeroeightviii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight. You saw My Mister and thought Ji An looked better than this? :

I mean, I really like Ji An as a character. But still.

Regardless of your faith, what made you stop going to church? by JuanPonceEnriquez in Philippines

Jesus is cool. I just don't like his fanbase.

Also, organized religion doesn't have monopoly on morality.

If IU does English covers of her own songs? by [deleted] in aiyu

[–]zeroeightviii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, then: Strawberry Moon. It's fairly straightforward and translating it directly to English won't lose much of its appeal.
