Guys I have been listening to the the neighborhoods album (((((ultraSOUND))))) and in a specific track, Hula girl, is it only me or does Jesse Rutherford kind of sound like Noel Gallagher of Oasis during most of the song and the track sound like Oasis with a modern twist doesn't it??

Hi, I’m a South Korean university student, but I’ve only spent about six years of my life actually living in Korea. I grew up mostly in countries where Christianity or Islam were the dominant religions, so I never really encountered the idea of cults. In some of the Muslim-majority countries I lived in, cult-like groups are taken extremely seriously and can be punished very harshly, so it just wasn’t something I ever saw growing up. Because of that, I was pretty surprised the first time I came across something like it. For example, I once ran into a Scientology recruiter near Birmingham. I didn’t really understand what was going on at the time, but my friend immediately told them to go away. Afterwards, he explained they were recruiters and mentioned that there are actually quite a lot of similar groups in places like Korea. That honestly shocked me, since I’d barely lived there and had never personally seen anything like that. When I asked my dad about it, he said that back when he was younger—around the time leading up to the year 2000—there were a lot of end-of-the-world beliefs going around, and that led to the rise of many cults.

If that’s true, then why do these groups still exist today? Do people genuinely believe in them, or is it more about pressure from family or the group itself?

I had this guy on the enemy team and I just want to check if I’m not overthinking it. It felt like I literally couldn’t do anything against him—every time I peeked, I just got instantly one-tapped. It didn’t even feel like I had time to react. This was on Frankfurt servers as well.

Are these kind of stats normal for Gold, or am I just worse than the average gold 😞

In Valorant, the Pacific region has pretty clearly become a powerhouse. Even though there’s a noticeable skill gap within the league, it’s still fair to say Pacific is one of the strongest regions right now—arguably the best, or at least second best overall. But when you look at CSGO, the story in pacific or Asia in general is completely different. The region has almost never had real title contenders, with The MongolZ being one of the only teams you could even mention in that conversation. What makes this more interesting is that a lot of the top Pacific Valorant players actually came from CS:GO but didn’t achieve much internationally there. For example, f0rsakeN from Paper Rex, as well as stax and Meteor, all started in CS, and now they’re some of the best in the world at what they do. Which kind of leads to the bigger question: if Asia had the same level of support, infrastructure, and popularity back then, could it have become a powerhouse in CS:GO too?
