Ba Do Bleep (olc's Midwest Emo Edit) by wafer

would be 5 if the original mp3 got ranked

was gonna kill myself, then realized this map got ranked. thanks wafer, i live another day

i can't believe the qat vetoed (olc's Midwest Emo Edit) into existence

Best preview point ever

Actually, this mapset is kinda experimental mapset but wafer just made something which seems weird but makes sense at least.

wow!!!!!!!

this set burnt down an apartment 3 blocks down the road. not very nice of it

FYREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

pretty decent

I think I actually under-rate Ba Do Bleep, if anything. That's bonkers, right? It's been my favourite map for over two decades now - but that right there is exactly the problem. I saw it when I was 15, and it was maybe the fourth or fifth map of any kind I'd ever truly paid attention to front-to-back, and the first that wasn't essentially forced upon me by my parents or general peer pressure at school. It was the first time I'd ever decided it might be worth actually trying out mapping for real, and the very first map I ever landed on just so happened to be the best one? Nah. It's far too convenient. I keep side-eyeing it uneasily when I see it sitting at the top of my favourite map list. Surely the rush of seeing it now can't be the same as it was when I was seeing it as a teenager. Surely at least one of the 3,500 maps I've heard since has surpassed it. Right?!

And yet I've been having this thought repeatedly for well over a decade now, and every time I come back to it I'm absolutely blown away. I think to myself that surely "normal." won't have that power when the shock of the multi-part emphasis structure has worn off. Surely "bo boo geep." won't look as profoundly spacious, distant, and yearning as it did back in those long distant days when it was my favourite map. Surely they won't still send those shivers flying up my spine. Surely they won't be so emotionally overwhelming. Surely it won't still feel so terrifying. Surely at some point the song will stop sounding so damn pretty and feeling so damn desolate. Surely "wafer" won't soar so high. And yet every time I go back and check, I find that all of those things are true and more. It has only grown in my estimation since; "The Spinner" has stopped feeling like one of the weak points here and screamed all the way up to becoming one of my favourite part in the map, and the surprising coldness of "Midwest Emo Edit" has really started to draw me in. It just somehow keeps getting better every time I hear it. So yes: it turns out that by total fluke, my first ever attempt to find a favourite map was the only one I ever needed, and as much as I've loved spending so long trying to find something better, and as much as I will probably continue to do so for as long as I'm alive, it's probably a fruitless endeavour. Ba Do Bleep (olc's Midwest Emo Edit), man. What a fucking map.

Erikillo just play the good wafer maps instead Lawl
Car Seat Headrest - Bodys (wafer)
Pierce The Veil - Caraphernelia (wafer)
xaev - berdlycore chapter 2 (part one) (wafer)
Far Caspian - Between Days (wafer)

Thanks vinxis those were surprisingly good I love you

nevermind, I saw the berdlycore one

do u hate the songs or something

I just had a revelation. I do hate the songs with passion, but for the rating I don't let that be a bias.
Now, everything makes sense. I can see that his maps are good representations of the songs due to their chaotic nature, but because I hate the songs and they are so well captured in the map then I am also going to hate the map.

It is all clear now. Wafer is not a bad mapper, he is just a good mapper that maps shit songs too well, aberrations that should have never been mapped.
I feel conflicted, I still think this shouldn't go for ranked but I understand why now. There are some things that should never be mapped.
