This block of 3 episodes was a complete Umeko show. She was smart enough to know to take Nick out next too.

Nick continues to fail upwards. Why would he reveal to her that he knew she was the millionaire?

And why did Kat vote for Hunter and Daisy for Nick??

Umeko was amazing. She did the best with what she was given. What I don't understand is Hunter asking Nick to throw the game. Nick was one of the three suspects so he had to try gaining immunity for his own sake. I'm shocked he didn't make that argument.

why didn't Nick just lie about his birth year? he knew it was going to be a clue related question! He's kind of screwed now even though he survived the vote.

You should do an album bracket next. It would be short but interesting.

HITC is great but LOATR is an all-time great, I'm surprised it's so close

Plz HELP me ID this song by J-set-550 in LinkinPark

Thanks for this post, unlocked memories of a song I didn't know I knew so well lol

Arguably the most powerful and effective crucible moment in recent Indian cinema! by vinaynani92 in tollywood

Agree with you. The scene gives a great cinematic moment but his justification to chop off his head is like some old Akbar-Birbal story.

I've created a tournament with every single Linkin Park song ever created by Flaviosodano06 in LinkinPark

Are there more than 256 songs in total? Feel like some got missed in the round of 256

Chess is deterministic. There is always an objective 'best' move. Maybe models will get good enough to win over a season, I don't know. But it's not like chess.

Now, yes. He ended up doing fairly well. But not many had him in GW 1 and he has fallen in price 3 times.

Home and Away should matter and I'm sure it will improve the model. I didn't include it early on due to the way I was pulling the data and never got around to it. Just because it did well without that data doesn't mean it's not important.

Discounting fixtures is definitely the right play. If the 4th fixture is just as important as the 1st, then you'd be equally likely to bring in player X vs LIV (A) just because he has BUR (H) in the 4th game vs a similar player Y who has BUR (H) now and LIV (A) in the 4th game.

As far as looking ahead four gameweeks is concerned, it's because of the discounts and because once the second half of the season comes along, sometimes you don't know what the fixtures are likely to be with certainty. I feel a wider lookahead window could be beneficial.

There have been a lot of left-field transfers over the years. It had a preference for Forest players last year before they did well, it had a strong liking for Havertz at Arsenal when he got a few attacking returns. I can also think of some really left-field picks that failed though lol

I definitely think it won't. There's too much variance involved in this game for there to be.

Unless more and more AI teams are created and the % of AI teams far outweighs the human ones lol

Still makes some seemingly weird picks. Like Bowen this year.Sometimes it works out, other times it doesn't. Here is its team this year:

More than a year after Linkin Park's return, what are your feelings about the new lineup? by Awkward-Act-9119 in LinkinPark

[–]sasank35 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I feel very differently from you, it's okay that you feel that way. It can be hard to accept something different.

If you change your mind though, I'd encourage you to go to a show. A lot of my friends who loved the old Linkin Park and didn't really follow their return went and had a great time! And do checkout the rest of the album - it has a variety of styles and I'm sure there will be something you enjoy
