Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

[Charu]

Because it's a beautiful expression. Gotta express yourself to the fullest extent so fellow forum goers can see just how expressive you are about your opinions.

It's the best type of expression. It's marvelous. It's beautiful. And most importantly it's magical.

[___________]

[.Gazelle.]

not sure which thread to post this in lol, could New World Disorder's genre be changed to Dubstyle?

[L.B.D.D]

when does this submission period end?
i made a file during my stats lectures sometime in mid 2014 and totally forgot it was on my laptop

[Xiz]

Tonight, silv said no extensions anymore.

[hi19hi19]

So bogged down in family stuff and judging FFR files, need to make time to actually send my files for this batch before midnight heh

EDIT- and done. Nice mix of tryhard stuff alongside more... creative files

[Xtreme2252]

Sent in mine now.

The Quick Brown Fox - THOROUGH PINATA DICKING AMATEUR XXX
Rainbowdragoneyes - Heavy Weather - The Storm ov The Undead

Hopefully I didn't make the charts too ridiculous.

[M0nkeyz]

sent Guardians of old
and Psychosoup

Rly hope both these files make the cut, especially Guardians of old. Put alot of work into it.

[hi19hi19]

Looking at what files I have finished, I will aim to have my Jan/Feb batch include:
The lost
Oprah Shmup
ethken
Hatsune Miku no Gekishou
Loli Fishing Next 20000 Leagues

These are files I've had going for a long time that I need to get around to submitting


EDIT- Oh, DarkZtar sent in Death Moon. Well, there goes another song I have a file for.
Hopefully his file is really different from mine so someday I can send mine in as a v2; I can't imagine anyone would step it the way I did but maybe I'll be surprised

p.s. really excited to see gameboob's Hatsune Miku no Bousou file. Song is excellent for stepping so I'm looking forward to seeing how he layered it.

Hatsune Miku no Bousou turned out pretty decent, I think. It's dumb in parts but hopefully the judges can point me in the right direction.

I ended up not having time to perfect 'Fucked Up #Selfie' so I sent something else instead. That will go for next month

[M0nkeyz]

Not trying to be negative or anything, but if you judge a single file a day. You can finish the notes within a month right? And if some judges can't meet those requirements just find someone else who can. It really doesn't seem like a crazy proposition to do a file a day, right?

[VisD]

Looks like I have to pass on this batch. The queue's full enough of my files as it is anyway. Will definitely have some neat ones for Feb though

There's so many things wrong with this line of reasoning, but I'll give the three obvious ones:

- It's really inefficient to do notes in small batches. Takes a while (for me at least) to get everything set up for judging and get in the right mindset. Even for people who are fast at setting up, it's not the kind of flexible activity you can easily do while other things are going on. It's really annoying if you get interrupted mid-review.
- Most people procrastinate things they can, especially boring work with no pay. I'm sure you have tons of things you should be doing right now that you're not, we all do.
- It takes WAY longer to review a file well than you seem to think it does. I spent almost 45 minutes on my review for your Guardians of Old file from last batch. That one was kinda an outlier, but still, given the time it takes, it is actually kinda a crazy proposition to do a file a day. Sometimes you just don't have time; it's much better to set aside a longer period to do large blocks of reviews at once, but if that time gets interrupted it can be hard to recover.

I'm not excusing judge's lateness (myself included) but I'm just explaining that it's not quite so simple.

[ilikexd]

sent LeaF - Paraclete [Oni], LeaF - Stupor of peace, The Flashbulb - Forbidden Tracks, Cardboard Box vs. STereochan - WE EAT AT FIVE FIVE FIVE (GUYS), Bumblefoot - Real

It was the holidays, people got busy with things. Plus what hi19 already said.

I was supposed to judge part of this as well but the 12 days of ffrmas took up so much time AJ offered to take on my portion of the batch doubling himself up.

Timing just kinda sucked a little bit but I'm sure everything will get back on track soon.

One of the biggest frustrations I have with being so behind in judging, is that I am looking at certain files I made a while ago. and some of them have some mistakes that can be easily fixed, yet I am looking at them locked down in a batch that's taking ages to be judged.

I mean if I had like 5 SAP, this wouldn't be too bad, but having 2 and still learning and testing certain things in DDreamstudio. It's kinda hard to get a file in and not get frustrated as a new stepper.
