Mini Normal 2200 | Game Over

[Ydrasse]

it is indeed, ive been going through a phase that is apparently "revisit and appreciate muse" though lacking the fervor teenage me had

matt bellamy is uh, insane, these days, and making bad music, but we can appreciate what he did like 20 years ago

[Ydrasse]

imagine having time to pursue the arts aha.

please. please life

[Menalque]

this is my current jam

Spoiler:

I wasn't a fighter
til somebody told me
I'd better learn to lean into the punches

so it don't hurt as bad when they leave
there you were turning your cheek

[Menalque]

I feel like I sorta wrote muse off a bit as being "one of those bands I was into when I was younger" which would also include like foo fighters and nickelback (I know, I know)

[Menalque]

I think I maybe just don't like matt Bellamy's voice that much, unfortunately

[Menalque]

idk if u saw ydra but i like ur new avi

[Ydrasse]

i think when i am in a specific mood i'll appreciate that song a bit more than i do now, lately i've been listening to stuff mostly that is fast-paced or walls of noise, but i have saved it for now

also yeah his voice is surprisingly what i like perhaps most of all, when i try to find things that are objectively ""better"" than muse i find myself disappointed because the structure of everything could be the exact same, i'll listen to riffs and be like wow! this is what i want! and then vocals kick in and i skip it, it's definitely hit or miss and i'm trapped in 2004 hell

also yes i did see ! but thank you again, i am rather a fan of this one compared to the others

[Menalque]

oh wow we're in v different listening dips, I have been super leaning into the slow maybe slightly trippy indie-folk area lately

nah, that makes perfect sense, I've had similar points of contention with people before. I had a friend who I think hated biffy clyro for years bc of the guy's voice then spontaneously changed his mind one day (maybe it grew on him), but he was like you with other bands -- loved biffy in terms of the musical stuff but just couldn't take the voice

ur welcome! it feels fitting, I think

where's it from?

[Menalque]

something something I'm using this to sort you maybe

[LegoLucy]

Lucy, what's your read on skitter and Farkran now?

Scumlean townlean? There's a smidge, if only a smidge, of nka clearing skitter. And my feeling that Fark is town is outpacing my ability to articulate why Fark is town and that can be a bad sign.
I hate not having skitter scumlocked because it makes me sadderer when she scumreads me X.X

[LegoLucy]

I'm a little paranoid of skitter pushing Fark here and if he flips green she doesn't need to shoot more than one person to run the game.

[skitter30]

i mean from my pov should i be townreading you?

and why is that a 'smidge'?

and why should i be townreading him? he's pushing things that are either objectively ignoring reality, or are convenient to say but are not in line with how i actually play, or in line with things that actually happened

[LegoLucy]

i never kill pooky last night, never in a billion years

Oh come on, they serve wine here, and scum partners have positionings too. Being hyperbolic doesn't help us solve the game together friend

[Menalque]

Wait isis did you just stealth edit that last post to add the comment

Or am I imagining things

[Menalque]

Imagine if we spent less time being paranoid of skitter and more time winning the game

[Ydrasse]

oh god i forgot biffy clyro existed. my ex was super into them and then wasn't, or something, or maybe he still was. they have a few good songs. i could not recall anything else about them. but ive been regardless trying to move past this weird vocal block i have and it worked, i listened to a few pretty Okay slash Good albums

it's, unfortunately, from league. it's space groove lux. i love lux, she used to be my icon like, two or three icons ago. she's wonderful. i could write an essay on her

something something am i town at least?

pedit: i took forever writing this. because im unfortunately playing league

[LegoLucy]

while I'm paranoid of thoughtlessly doing something like that for a mispelling when playing on main, alts don't gain any privileges. So no I haven't edited anything for sure

[LegoLucy]

It's a smidge because NKA is all wifom and 80% of the time when you NKA you get to post game and read the scum PT and it's fucking "let's kill alanzo because he's wearing a purple necktie" or something

[Menalque]

yeh that happens to everyone I think. Even biffy clyro occasionally forget biffy clyro exist. they have a few good songs is a pretty fair summary. what other albums have u been listening to?

Why do you keep calling all the league things unfortunate. I have like no knowledge of league, but she seems cool. Why is she so great? 1500 words on my desk by monday

something something maybe but I’m not sure if that’s bc u are or just bc I want u to be

[skitter30]

VOTE: lucy

[Menalque]

no

noooo

[Ydrasse]

honestly i am going back to forgetting i think. idk i just remember "objectively okay, sometimes good" as my stance

league is generally referred to as unpleasant because it's a big time sink esp if you get into it, ive played for years and, unfortunately, love it. i love the lore even though it can be really hit or miss. also the community for it sucks but, actually, it's fun. also teamfight tactics (autochess if you know it) is stupidly fun

i am town, and you should want me to be town, so both?

[LegoLucy]

i mean from my pov should i be townreading you?

and why is that a 'smidge'?

and why should i be townreading him? he's pushing things that are either objectively ignoring reality, or are convenient to say but are not in line with how i actually play, or in line with things that actually happened

I feel like I have a pretty transparent playstyle that you should be able to correctly dead like 60% of the time whether I'm scumreading town or not. Independent of that I wouldn't say I've taken special hard to take stances or taken a strong ownership of a scum lim in a way that would demand you see me as town here tho. I mean there was that analysis day did that is kind of a real gap in my scumrange that kind of conftowns me but it's one of those things that you know while reading it only the author is going to -get-. So.

I can't even remember why you think I'm scum anymore

[LegoLucy]

and why should i be townreading him? he's pushing things that are either objectively ignoring reality, or are convenient to say but are not in line with how i actually play, or in line with things that actually happened

This reads like lots of bad/scummy conflation? Especially wrt adapting to other people's playstyles instead of projecting one's own.

I don't like, know farkran is town or anything tho

[LegoLucy]

I think we should take a moment to recognize that had we no-limmed we would have a copcheck on Ali and PP would be alive (though Pooky would still be dead) and PP would maybe be spewing. It could be this beautiful world.
