thanks uberzolik for showing me this map playing this shit for the first time straight up unearthed rly positive memories from a time where my mental health was at its worst and i was in an abusive household and that almost made me cry so like fuck man i gotta give this a 5
extremely overlooked mir map, might be my fav from them. the song choice and way its represented give this on-edge feeling or like literaly the feeling of being watched. the map itself forces you to be alert and reactive, kinda like you're trying to tryinng to Survive an Encounter when each of the choruses pop up. its just cool! its also a really fun experience that feels so much shorter than it actually is to me
(it does get a little weird when what "i" refers to isn't really a consistent thing between 2018 to now (thanks OSDD! :|) but yeah i think this is kinda the direction i wish "i" took)
(decent into madness aside its objectively not even the worst map of its era i think i just have a like long distant memory of absolutely loathing this map when i started playing the game)
every time i see one of those dumbass motherfucking catmull sliders placed over a absolute ton of music i get sent into a boiling rage its as if satan himself is tempting me to lose it and destroy everything in a 50 meter radius
@moonpoint i like learning things from this site its always makes me go :) i love art i love art analysis
anyway re: the stuff since i last posted
i think i better udnerstand the other side of this now . i Do maintain my position for the most part ubt yea tru the ocntext of it surrounding a tourney was a bit lost on me. i know that theres sort of an arms race for grander and grander displays when it comes to them.
and thats where theres a fundamental dissonance to my brain. while i Get it and its the logical conclusion of custom tourney maps i dont think this process really *can* make Good Maps. its the factory line approach to mapping, and i think that sort of robs it of authentic expression (most of which isnt the result of a rigid set of utilitarian calculations wrt skillsets and competitivity).
@funny i mean, i think it is for me ^^' that was what i said in my intitial comment at least . is it just about the effort put in? or is it like about the sheer intensity of the map

its crazy that pishi still has enough dog in him to continue to outdo himself to this day, might actualy beat out shadowmaker for me
quite song-carried imo but rides the song's almost apocalyptic vibes well

thats the goat
almost thought this was made as a dt map for a tourney with how the rhythm of this song is mapped ðŸ˜
tough competition between this and lazy eye for goat squirrelp map
YESSSS stomach book

fuuuuuuuck this is the only old diff of mine that i fully stand by the decisions on
i think i would have figured out what i like in maps earlier if i had focused on this as an example back then; im really proud of this one
really makes me wish the ukg rhythms of this song were explored THAT BEING SAID this is very groovy in spite of that
thanks for reminding me how goated this song is

it destroys me. its laughing at me. don't you hear it too?
every time i see one of those dumbass motherfucking catmull sliders placed over a absolute ton of music i get sent into a boiling rage its as if satan himself is tempting me to lose it and destroy everything in a 50 meter radius
i have a completely irrational hatred for this map in particular it makes me want to kill someone in a way no other map can
greatest song on this game
yeah agree which normaly wouldnt be bad but its so boring in the rhythms it overlays idk
actually thats bm im sorry ðŸ˜
its a good and fun map unfortuantely i think hw mapped this song in 2014

(i only ask to clarify because i think im maybe underthinking or overthinking it and im not sure which)

yes but like Why im genuinely curious wat u get out of it (not tryna b antagonistic or anything im just personaly confused)
outro on the extra diff just ate me out so good [2]
