I came across the post 2019 Fantasy Bingo Card Using Eurovision Songs (yes, seriously) by u/improperly_paranoid and as it is still Eurovision month, despite Eurovision 2023 ending 2 weeks ago I was curious to see if I could make this work for the Bingo 2023 card and Eurovision 2023 songs because it seemed like fun.
For those not in the know, Eurovision is an annual song contest where participating countries send an entry to compete for the opportunity to host the competition the following year and show off about their culture, it's a lot of fun, very camp and participating countries get to vote for the results. This year for the first time voting was expanded to non participating countries such as: the United States, Canada, Kosovo, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Mexico, Hungary, Slovakia, UAE, Turkey, and Chile. This interval performance of Love Love Peace Peace should give you a better idea of what it is all about. Eurovision often has fantastical elements, such as a woman floating in space above the Earth, an inflating lightning dress, not to mention funky video game inspired entries, and even a stick figure imaginary friend.
I think I've made my point, anyway if anyone doesn't know what Fantasy Bingo is then check it out! It's a yearly challenge to encourage diversifying your reading, I had a lot of fun with it last year and the community aspect is great for gathering ideas for themed cards, asking about if a book fits and seeing what everyone recommends.
Rule 1: Once a country has been used for a square it cannot be reused
Rule 2: Only songs and performers from Eurovision 2023 are eligible

Now, the Squares.

First Row
Title with a Title: Future Lover - Brunette (Armenia), although Queen of Kings would also work here I need it for...
Superheroes: Queen of Kings - Alessandra (Norway), I mean look at that cape! If she isn't a superhero I don't know who is.
Bottom of the TBR: I Wrote A Song - Mae Muller (United Kingdom), Mae performed as the final act in the Grand Final so was literally the performance we'd been waiting for the longest. Alternatively Luxembourg, who are returning to the competition in 2024 after a 30 year absence.
Magical Realism: Bridges - Alika (Estonia), a piano that plays itself.
Young Adult: Breaking My Heart - Reiley (Denmark), very bright and feels like it has a younger target audience.
​
Second Row
Mundane Jobs: Who the Hell is Edgar? - Teyas & Salena (Austria), about singers and a dead writer ghostwriting.
Published in the 00s: What They Say - Victor Vernicos (Greece), okay obviously none of these songs are published in the 00s because that goes against Eurovision rules, however singer songwriter Victor is 16 years old...Yes this is an age joke, he's the youngest singer in the competition this year and he was born in the 00s. Plenty of other contestants for this year are born in the 2000s as well, including Brunette.
Angels and Demons: Blood & Glitter - Lord of the Lost (Germany), no blatant angel/demon iconography this year so I had to stretch the definition a bit, with this song embodying the notion that everyone has both angelic and demonic characteristics. Serbia's song does namedrop the Devil, but I need that song for later.
Five Short Stories: Flag Parade featuring short live performances from previous highly successful Ukrainian acts, showcasing the history of Ukraine in Eurovision interspersed with UK songs due to the UK hosting on behalf of Ukraine.
Horror: Like An Animal - Piqued Jacks (San Marino), this song might come the closest to straight up horror this year because of the lyrical content, alternatively this staging may qualify Romania's entry for this square.
​
Third Row
Self-Published: Carpe Diem - Joker Out (Slovenia), as far as I could tell only this song and Future Lover - Brunette (Armenia) are self-published this year.
Set in SWANA Country: Tell Me More - TuralTuranX (Azerbaijan), this source explicitly mentions Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Published in 2023: Promise - Voyager (Australia), this is a freebie since they are all published in 2023. Check it out, this band knows how to put on a show.
Multiverse/Alternate Realities: Eaea - Blanca Paloma (Spain), again I'm stretching a bit here, but this song does have a very otherworldly feel to it.
POC Author: Heart of Steel - TVORCHI (Ukraine), Jimoh Kehinde was born in Nigeria.
​
Fourth Row
Book Club or Readalong: Cha Cha Cha - Käärijä (Finland), the song everyone is watching on youtube, it currently has the most views of all the live performances of the 2023 show, with 15 million views.
Novella: Mama ŠČ! - Let 3 (Croatia), the shortest song this year according to youtube. Also Croatia did get to the Grand Final, but their semi-final performance video on youtube is shorter for some reason.
Mythical Beasts: Unicorn - Noa Kirel (Israel), it's even HM
Elemental Magic: Break A Broken Heart - Andrew Lambrou (Cyprus), the most elemental mage in Eurovision 2023, we get a waterfall, rain and fire. Shoutouts to Romania for their firey performance and Georgia and Estonia for their water iconography.
Myths and Retellings: Soarele şi Luna - Pasha Parfeni (Moldova), use of multiple folklore characters with the lyrics written by Pasha's wife Yuliana about a beautiful marriage, you could definitely argue this is a retelling of their own love story.
​
Fifth Row
Queernorm Setting: Because of You - Gustaph (Belgium), a camp song described by Gustaph as "an ode to the queer community".
Coastal or Island Setting: Solo - Blanka (Poland), features a coastal background.
Druids: Power - Diljá (Iceland), she's got plant powers.
Featuring Robots: Samo mi se spava - Luke Black (Serbia), a lot of video game iconography, very moody atmosphere and a big robot boss to fight. TVORCHI's Heart of Steel also fits here.
Sequel: Tattoo - Loreen (Sweden), a surprising amount of songs work for sequel, as we had 6 returning performers from previous Eurovisions/Junior Eurovision including Pasha Parfeni (Moldova), Marco Mengoni (Italy), Monika Linkytė (Lithuania), Gustaph (Belgium), Iru (Georgia). But Loreen fits best here, as she returns from winning Eurovision 2012 with Euphoria to win again in Eurovision 2023. Making her the second person to win Eurovision twice.
With a few stretches to make a Bingo challenge meant for books work for songs, it sort of worked. How about that.

ça sent un coup de Mélenchon sous cape! c'est indéniable, il serait icompréhensible que le plus grand serviteur de MAcron, le roi de la lèche se soit fait gros jean comme devant de l'acculé de la 5ème! je n'ose y croire c'est trop savoureux, donc tentant... LAM....

My boyfriend and i have been together for a little over a year and 7 months, and throughout our relationship I've tried getting him into Sky occasionally, but he never truly got into it which I've always been understanding of- it's not for everyone, and he still played with me sometimes because he knew how much I love the game :) I've played sky for many years, it's my favourite game and I've met some really great friends and made amazing memories on it, so it means a lot to me.
But recently, to my delight, he started asking if we could play more- and when we did, he would ask if he could lead us more often, especially when he tried getting new spirits. We've had several laughs, and have started to make actual memories on the game. Also, he recently started actually looking into the cosmetics that he wants to save up for and eventually purchase- he just got one of the pants in the game, and he was so genuinely delighted about it, and kept asking what I think of his new look :) he's currently saving up for the purple cape, and I'll be able to help him get there. He even said that he's excited for the summer break as we'll be able to play together every day while he's travelling to his family.
I can't wait for what the future holds for us both in-game and in real life <3

Im trying to figure out how to manage my bank characters, i have 1 main toon, and 7 more bankers filled with loot (yes, i have the dragon sickness). Im trying combinations like class (melee, caster, ranged) related gear for each one to hold and also trying organizing by slots (helmet, cape, armor, weapon...)

Hey TeamPixel,
I was wondering why the videos on iphone look so crisp (not that they are bad on pixel) and after some research i reached the conclusion that the reason could be the ability of iphone to record 4k 60fps in HDR Dolby vision.
But you might ask, Pixel 7 pro can also record in HDR 10-bit. The thing is if you do that you end up with a choppy jittery video caped at 30fps, and it looks good if and only if you fix to a tripod and fix the movement of your hands. And Even then, the video looks great but so bright that it hurts the eyes. The phone max out the brightness to uncomfortable level in order to display an HDR 10 bit video.
And let's not forget the Cinematic mod of P7P caped at 1080p 24 fps that's looks worse than iphone 13' cinematic mod (let alone iPhone 14).
Google should have been a software company and should always have the upper hand is software driven features like these, and like portrait mode or action (active stabilization) mode.

Hey so I followed the sticky (and comments in the thread) as far as I know, but I'm still getting random crashes, nothing that seems to be linked to any one in particular. Also I don't know if performance might be an issue but its on an xBox One X- Project Scorpio.
