@Hurricane_25ji@PolymarketDota2 Not even, it's that in pubs item data is taken from the team that wins. Even if the losing team bought rapier, it was probably in the inventories of the winning team
@austinScouts@MattBatos@lthlnkso@jk_rowling Then he shouldn't use the word "good." Successful would be the correct word to use instead. There's just no need to imply that there's an objective way to measure the quality of a work of art.
These kinds of posts never name names, because the moment you do you allow an album by album or song by song comparison.
What you will find is that yes, many do just enjoy X American band more than Y Latin American band. Keeping it vague stops even the opportunity to disagree
American bands are always disproportionately highly rated because American music press controls the indie music zeitgeist and Americans disproportionately generally prefer American rock music despite the fact that it is fucking shit compared to the rock of any other continent.
Andante maestoso - 4:28, the twisting and turning of the flutes and bassoons is perfection
Andante con moto - 2:33, what a gorgeous melody, more woodwind beauty, plus the tension of the song later on
Allegro feroce - 1:11, the introduction of this folk melody - magical
A tragedy the final movement was censored by the Soviets, blown away by the original after hearing it modified for years. So urgent and beautiful, the news of triumph. Lyatoshynsky sure loved his bells. Not to take away from the other movements either, just an incredible work
I loved Mercurial World and was pretty disappointed that Imaginal Disk didn't repeat the magic. For some positive examples - the bass on that's my floor is pretty awesome. The pre-chorus on tunnel vision is incredible then it shoots itself in the foot with the half time chorus
Can't say I hate it but the bones for a lot of the songs feel stock, the small stuff like riffs, mixing, layering, harmonies don't feel memorable. This combined with maximalist, explosive song endings makes the album feel unjustified, people calling it euphoric when it's just ok
@PracticalTAS@GholstavoFring The part you're misunderstanding is that Brawlhalla is already smooth smash. He's saying that Riot can't make a smooth smash better than Brawlhalla did
Internet art discussion lets you give merit to any work so long as it "explores" something. The Lorax is the 3rd greatest piece of art, only under The Bible and Paradise Lost, because it explores greed and the value of the natural world...
โขHas intentionally radical / polarizing dialogue in order to mirror the state of truth it perceives from
โขAbrasive, incredibly expressive art
โขExplores DNA / genes, world-wide philosophies, why stagnancy exists, the value of dreams, what a โgoodโ life is (to many)
@TharunNaagesh@_Jon_Green I agree that a more rigorous version of this paper should exist, but access to high quality soccer data is notoriously expensive. Probably why you don't see more high quality analysis online, a lot of it's private
@WazzuCrew11@ckieser13 Unfortunately once you're playing with the competitive and financial stakes of the world cup or the champions league that level of precision is absolutely necessary. It would be a nightmare to see top games swung by inconsistent calls for the "spirit of the game"
@WazzuCrew11@ckieser13 Soccer fans often say the same thing about goals ruled offside, but in both scenarios fans understand that the rule is sensible and prevents other unwanted strategies
@EmaaaRm@lucas_hby The point isn't who you're comparing to, the point is that the data set is looking at competitive European leagues then trying to apply that to Messi's MLS performance. That's not a valid model
@Guuullll1@recklessrexha This is clearly not true if you follow music discourse on twitter, their 10s spark discussion for days. Also I've seen people mention Fantanos 8/10 Sexy Red review far more than most of his ratings. His relevance is just not dependent on stans, he's ingrained in music culture
@Guuullll1@recklessrexha I find it funny to believe that Fantano and Pitchfork are more anti-art than other publications, but even if that was true it's still the case that, de facto, they're the only two that matter. Nobody is posting rolling stone articles because nobody cares what they think
