Posts from I would like to see the persimmon tree. Auto-translated

often, tracks are long, like movies. Why stretch out something that could be contained within a smaller timeframe? Moreover, some don't add anything new to their songs, but simply create three identical verses, four identical choruses, etc., when they could have kept it to two. 3-4 minutes is fine. And up to 5 minutes, there can be some good songs too.

One of my favorite songs is 18 minutes long.

They're practically old, but they still brag about having a fast-paced, attention-deficit mindset. Probably spend three hours every day scrolling through TikTok.

when they didn't make a music video for their favorite song, even though it's 10 minutes long...

never mind, I already understand that there are many fans of uniformity here, who are ready to play the same game for 10 years and even listen to a 10-hour-long song without stopping (just don't submit it to a contest).

ready to play the same game for 10 years

Crab Rave! — I've seen it on streams many times, though I think there was some version with more cartoony graphics. It doesn't do it for me. I know many find it cool, and that's why the video went viral, but as far as I'm concerned, it's nothing special. 4/10
Elysia's Makeup Class — Honkai Impact 3rd — This is... cute. She finished up really quickly, the kind of thing that only happens in fairy tales. I wouldn't say there's anything particularly healing here, but at least it didn't lower my mood. 5/10
CELLS Go Wild - Must See! Open Cup Acrylic Pour GALAXY🌌 Easy Fluid Art | Abstract Deep Space — This hit the mark. This is a truly healing video. Let me explain why. More than once, I've sat down very tired after work and played Starbound. You can really just chill and relax in it, just in sandbox mode. From the very first notes, there's something familiar in the music, and the theme is space as well. Therefore, rest/recovery/healing — yes, this is it 10/10.
every man dreams of a summer like this — if someone told you that homosexuality is healing, I'm afraid you were screwed deceived. It's not funny as a joke either. 1/10
Gachi - Summer (Full HD) — same video, same rating. Good thing it's without the gachi music, otherwise my ears would have shriveled up too. 1/10
Alan Chumak Session (1992) — At first, I googled Kashpirovsky, but he seemed kind of creepy. Chumak, however, looks like such a kind old uncle. Naturally, I'd want you to take this with a smile, rather than dead serious. Like Nebo, for example. Or notice the slyness in how he chooses "non-guaranteeing" phrasing in every sentence. Subtle work.)
Then I remembered the legendary Kikabidze and the less memorable Kuravlyov. But I didn't bother resending them; the essence is the same. A healing video. And what kind of video did you want to see? One that actually cures you?)
Kittens eating Yogurt for the first time | ASMR | Smoky & Lucy — not the best example. I would have preferred purring. Generally 2/10, but I'll add 2 points for the last kitten, 4/10.
POLNALYUBVI — Твои глаза (Official Music Video) — the idea is clear. Love heals. For some, this will be a healing video. More of a healing audio, actually; the video isn't much. Okay, it's at level №2, 5/10.
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion (Official Music Video) — Oh... This is very difficult to understand the first time. And I don't want to watch it a second time. But I watched it without blinking. I just expected the vocalist to come to some conclusion at the end, but unfortunately, he didn't. And there were only questions left, not answers. Well, whatever, it's just complex and you have to find the answers yourself. It fits the contest theme quite well, 8/10.
You are already in hell — there, Alex knows Father Dimitri.
As for the rest, I'll write a couple of paragraphs. This is just my personal understanding, but maybe it will allow you to look at the personality from a different angle.
I got acquainted with the "Creation" of Dimitri Smirnov quite a long time ago. It all started with funny clips on the internet, like the one sent for this contest. For me, it started with "two planes" and "chips crunching desperately". Well, I thought he was just some half-mad priest. But it turned out not to be the case at all. He was just very provocative, may he rest in peace. And if in the 21st century, to attract a flock, he chose the path of internet jokes, it's not for me to judge him. But I'm sure it worked, and he attracted far more people than he could have through traditional means.
Actually, the situation with all these jokes is like this. I've watched n-hour programs of his on the "Spas" channel and I know what I'm talking about. The program is running, people call in, ask questions, talk about their life situations and ask for advice, and he answers. He answers quite wisely; from the height of my own life experience, I even thought that in some stories I couldn't have come up with a solution myself, but he handled it quite beautifully. Now, sometimes people call who ask stupid questions. And at that moment, instead of normal answers, he starts hard trolling with an absolutely serious face. Then all of this gets cut into clips on the internet.
But overall, he was a brilliant man. I love orators as such, and I watched Smirnov in Pozner's program with great pleasure. It was a true oratorical duel. He also conducted interesting interviews with Mamonov.
In general, I agree with Alex, 9/10.
When the healer tries to dps — very high quality. Lifted my mood slightly, 6/10.
Patrick that's the Ashbringer - Director's cut — okay, I played Warcraft and saw Ashbringer and Frostmourne. But overall, it's not funny and not healing. 2/10

Actually, I listened to many of his streams and didn't notice anything particularly outrageous; most of the jokes went unnoticed, and I mostly remembered various life lessons. But here, the psychedelic editing works perfectly on its own, and the old, rusty, and worn-out Haven players need the strongest hits and sharpest tools to break through their armor of indifference.

Ment, I forgot to ask. You sent Sylvia to the masquerade. Who is this Sylvia? Is she from some kind of GBF?

Hey, I forgot to ask. You sent Sylvia to the masquerade. Who is this Sylvia? From some kind of GBF?

I double-checked... There is indeed a Sylvia in the game, but it's a recent addition, and I originally meant Cynthia. The reference didn't quite work 😔
Still, it's a beautiful female name, so it doesn't really matter. Large planets don't evoke any particular associations; I could have sent either Ceres or even something else, following the same naming logic (not Europa, whose legend is a bit lackluster). If Nemesis were a real celestial body in the solar system, it would definitely be her.

When I hear the names of the planets in the Solar System, my first thought is that these are the girls.

1. Group striptease with crabs - 6. Doesn't heal much or offer much entertainment, but it's passable.
2. Elysium's makeup - 5. Didn't notice any difference before and after, and I think it's probably better to listen to the video than watch it.
3. Crafting a cool thing - 7. Didn't understand the idea behind this installation, and the video itself isn't relaxing, but the color scheme is cool, and there's good music in the background.
4. The best summer for men - 8. The vocals aren't great, but otherwise it's excellent; it reminded me of the 90s from my childhood. That's how summer should be.
5. The best men for summer - 9. The vocals are better here, which is why I rated the previous one one point lower. Now imagine if this video featured only women. You'll agree that it wouldn't be the same.
6. A session with some gray-haired man - 4. The first 30 seconds are a great video, but then he stops his gestures and just drones on endlessly. I added a point for the vintage feel and the joke.
8. Your eyes from Full of Love - 5. Didn't get much healing from it, but it reminded me of the Western Front.
9. A song by R.E.M about lost religion - 4. A very strange video, with more "gachi" than in summer videos. It should have been listened to in the background; I would have rated it higher.
10. You're already in hell - 6. Fair enough, but it didn't heal me.
11. DPS healer - 3. They say that the harm of soy is not proven, but why did I get a brain tumor from this video?
12. Patrick does something crazy with a trendy saber - 2. It's about nothing.

Harsh judging at this contest.

Didn't bother watching it, I guess. 😎
Okay, I watched the one about Cosmos, cats, and healers. I only liked the one about cats...

A song by R.E.M. about lost religion - **4**. A very strange music video, with more "gachi" than in videos about summer. If I had listened to it in the background, I would have rated it higher.

I was only half-watching it before. Now I watched it with both eyes, and there's really some kind of not-so-masculine "gachi" vibe, more like those American-European effeminate gestures.

Healing is always difficult.
