I really liked his verse on The Troubles and he absolutely did not disappoint on the rest of the album. genuinely so good

I'm glad that Embark is making an effort to fix Trials in Season 4 but it is still a very flawed system. The more you think about it, the more confusing their game design choices get.

You are placed in a Trials leaderboard depending on the day you progress your first Trial in a given week. This means that NOT playing the game for the first 5-6 days of a week makes Trials easier, because you are more likely to be matched with people who are casual/not very committed to Trials (especially at lower ranks).

The crazier part to me is Cantina Legend. There is an 8-9 week Trial season, and the only time that you can progress to Cantina Legend is in the final week. You can set world records for several weeks straight just to underperform once and lose that title. However, even if you DO get Cantina Legend during a season, that just means that you can afford doing no trials next week and stay at Hotshot.

Once again, committing to Trials actively discourages you from playing the game VERY often. This is why so many people don't focus too much on trials and instead do them occasionally (if at all). It is super easy to get completely burnt out with the current state of the Trials system.
