00:37 EphemeralFetish: Yo, do you have a couple mins for a quick opinion on a bubbled map?
00:39 Mir: i guess
00:40 EphemeralFetish: Its a bit of a longshot, but Im more so just looking for BN opinions now
00:40 *EphemeralFetish is listening to [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1098023 UNDEAD CORPORATION - Bloodthirsty Nightmare Lullaby / The Empress]
00:48 Mir: i can barely judge thisw
00:49 Mir: but the feeling i get from ingame is
00:49 Mir: there's a lack of cohesion with the jump
00:49 Mir: jumps* in general
00:49 Mir: though that can largely be chalked up to bp
00:49 EphemeralFetish: Yeah
00:49 Mir: fucking
00:49 Mir: keyboard
00:49 Mir: jesus fucking christ
00:49 Mir: bpm*
00:49 EphemeralFetish: Song is messy as all hell
00:50 EphemeralFetish: So its just constantly different or somewhat weird at random times
00:50 Mir: idk it also felt like the flow into a lot of streams was uncomfortable as hell
00:50 EphemeralFetish: Any examples?
00:51 Mir: 07:01:236 (9,10,1) -
00:51 EphemeralFetish: Hmm
00:51 EphemeralFetish: Never thought something like that could be uncomfortable
00:51 Mir: 05:11:902 (9,10,1) - these kinds played fairly well
00:52 Mir: but with that one you move into 9
00:52 Mir: move again into 10
00:52 Mir: then stop and have to start momentum from moving to 1
00:52 EphemeralFetish: tbh they look the same to me
00:52 Mir: so it's exponentially harder to hit that spacing
00:52 EphemeralFetish: Ohh wait
00:52 Mir: no look at where the stream is going
00:52 EphemeralFetish: You mean how the slider points into the next one?
00:53 Mir: the movement im talking about is here
https://i.imgur.com/bsmTHbM.jpg00:53 EphemeralFetish: Damn
00:53 Mir: as opposed to earlier
https://i.imgur.com/3YnqLHT.jpg00:54 EphemeralFetish: I figured from 10 to 1 would just be the same as 9 to 10
00:54 EphemeralFetish: Since you can just hold on the heads
00:54 Mir: tbh i tried that
00:54 Mir: and mostly sliderbroke
00:55 EphemeralFetish: Fair enough
00:55 Mir: but if you just compare the movement of 07:01:236 (9,10,1,2,3,4,5) - and 05:11:902 (9,10,1,2,3,4,5) - its clear which is easier
00:55 EphemeralFetish: Something to look into then
00:55 EphemeralFetish: Yeah I see it now
00:55 Mir: another thing i noticed but is kinda characteristic of stream-heavy maps is inconsistency in emphasis
00:56 Mir: the most noticeable one was 05:18:124 (9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) -
00:56 Mir: the angle change on 05:18:236 (11,12,1,2) - and 05:18:513 (4,1,2,3) - are exactly the same
00:56 Mir: but05:18:513 (4,1,2,3) - is way stronger +vocal +downbeat +finish
00:56 EphemeralFetish: 05:18:347 (1) - Was too add power to the snare roll
00:56 EphemeralFetish: 05:18:569 (1) - was for the jump back into vocals
00:56 Mir: i barely hear the snares xD
00:57 EphemeralFetish: Probs my super loud hitsounds
00:57 Mir: in play they were inaudible to me probably cuz the song is literally just spamming drums
00:57 Mir: literally everywhere
00:57 Mir: 05:22:069 (8,1,2) - this kinda didn't even get emphasis
00:57 Mir: yet 05:22:958 (16,1,2,3,4) - did
00:58 EphemeralFetish: Thats actually a fair point because I do what you said later
00:58 EphemeralFetish: 07:03:458 (1) -
00:58 EphemeralFetish: I never noticed
00:58 EphemeralFetish: shit
00:58 Mir: yeah there were a couple of instances of this
00:59 Mir: 07:17:624 (4,1,2,3) - like aaa
00:59 Mir: 07:18:013 (7,8,1,2,3) - then AAAAAAA
00:59 Mir: then 07:18:513 (8,1,2) - aaa
00:59 Mir: but then 07:18:902 (7,8,1,2) - AAAAA
00:59 Mir: and so on
00:59 EphemeralFetish: First one yeah
00:59 EphemeralFetish: Rest are fine tbh
00:59 EphemeralFetish: But damn yeah you right
00:59 Mir: 07:19:680 (1,2,3,4,5) - also this one was so lol
01:00 EphemeralFetish: Need to change those
01:00 EphemeralFetish: Difficulty curve :^)
01:00 Mir: tbh it sounded like 1/2 to me in editor
01:00 EphemeralFetish: You slow it down?
01:00 EphemeralFetish: Its defo 5
01:00 EphemeralFetish: or 1/4 I should say
01:01 Mir: all i hear is just indiscriminate growling so i honestly can't tell
01:01 Mir: sounds like 1/2 some times and 1/3 the other times i play it back
01:01 EphemeralFetish: Sounds like me when I first heard metal
01:01 Mir: tbh 1/3 on that'd be cute
01:02 Mir: another thing i noticed
01:02 Mir: that actually really bothered me
01:02 Mir: 07:22:569 (1,2) - these got vocal emphasis
01:02 Mir: 07:23:458 (9,10) - these did the exact same thing
01:02 Mir: but the player plays the same thing
01:02 Mir: the only difference being an nc
01:03 Mir: tbh it felt really uncomfortable to play not even cuz of like.. how it's arranged or anything, just the things those follow sometimes aren't clear enough
01:03 EphemeralFetish: Dude
01:03 EphemeralFetish: Ive had to explain this
01:03 EphemeralFetish: A million times
01:03 EphemeralFetish: And its so long everytime
01:03 EphemeralFetish: Im giving up on life
01:04 Mir: aaa
01:04 EphemeralFetish: Honestly I think I should just remove the second set of repeats each time it comes around to avoid it
01:05 Mir: the issue is 07:23:458 (9) -
01:05 Mir: it lands on a vocal exactly like 07:22:569 (1) - does
01:05 Mir: so i think "oh vocals" but there's none on 07:23:680 (10) -
01:05 EphemeralFetish: 07:22:569 (1) - Yeah these only make sense since the vocals are actually 1/1 there
01:06 EphemeralFetish: The second sets are just stamina buffers soo it isnt stupidly hard to stream for that long
01:06 EphemeralFetish: Thats basically the cut version of why I did it
01:06 Mir: you say that then throw in a 70+ note stream (i didnt count) xD
01:06 EphemeralFetish: The one at the end?
01:06 EphemeralFetish: Its like 120
01:06 EphemeralFetish: So yeah, maybe I should just remove the second sets
01:07 Mir: it'd make a lot more sense to me personally
01:08 EphemeralFetish: Always spooks me when I actually have to buff shit in this
01:08 EphemeralFetish: It was only 8.7 when it was first qualified ages ago
01:08 EphemeralFetish: Then all the mods made it like this
01:08 Mir: mods
01:08 Mir: i like and hate them
01:09 EphemeralFetish: Bunch of BN's wanted bigger streams and the solo to have bigger jumps
01:09 EphemeralFetish: Like come on its hard enough
01:10 Mir: lol the fuck
01:10 Mir: well anyways that's my thoughts on it
01:10 Mir: i've been following the thread vaguely though it's an interesting read
01:12 EphemeralFetish: The pages after it first got qualified are pretty spicy
01:12 EphemeralFetish: Thanks for your time though, you actually made some fair points I need to fix
01:13 Mir: any time~
01:13 EphemeralFetish: Can post something if you want kds
01:13 Mir: sure
01:14 Mir: need activity tbh
