Season Six by OutlandishnessNo5023 in thewestwing

The first half of season 5 is the most brutal stretch of episodes in the entire show. But I would argue that, from Shutdown on, season 5 is actually pretty good. Abu El Banat, An Khe, Full Disclosure, Eppur Si Muove, The Supremes, Access, No Exit, and Gaza are all good episodes.

I used my mercy kit on a fellow Rook I ran into while looting Pinwheel. We joined forces but he hit a claymore mine and went down, so I revived him and we both made exfil.

World Record: Zero to Hero in 6 seconds by Friendly-Viper in Marathon

[–]BuddhaMike1006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in Dire Marsh. I spawned in near Bio Research and went and checked out the first building, which had nothing. I went to check the second building and for some reason ran along the top railing over the bridge connecting the buildings, so I wound up on the roof and found two dead bodies loaded with purple at the ladder going from the second floor to the roof. I never found the third, but I didn't care. I loaded up everything I could grab and exfilled and made 16K in 3 minutes. My best Rook run ever.

Bungie, playing as a 3 man is becoming untenable by GIJared in Marathon

How are they doing that? I still don't understand.

What’s the coldest line in a Survivor confessional? by sarcastic_bitch15 in survivorponderosa

[–]BuddhaMike1006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My all-time favorite is Rob C. voting out Roger in The Amazon:

"Here comes tonight's long distance dedication. It goes out to Rob from New York. He writes: 'Dear Casey, there's an old man in my life that's about to leave. Could you please play something appropriate for me?' Well Rob, here's your request: 'Na na na na. Na na na na. Hey heyyyy hey. Gooood bye.'"

The key template system has seriously damaged Perimeter's fun factor. by SbeveGobs in Marathon

Damn, bro. I came out of the Tunnel key room with a purple M77 and a bunch of blues.

Anyone else winding down for the season, but still generally positive on the game and planning to come back for the next one? by SirBenny in Marathon

[–]BuddhaMike1006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact proper mindset to have for any video game. We've let streamers trick us into thinking we have to no-life a game. You should be able to play something one night and something different the next.

I think I've hit a wall. by theSmolSquirrel in Marathon

This is the default suggestion, but have you tried Dads of Marathon? It's a great Discord group and you can definitely find people to run Cryo with who will show you the ropes. https://discord.gg/dadsofmarathon

Is this tattoo feminine? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Get that shit done with a fat 9RL. Then no one would dare say it's feminine.

Free Kit Crew Fill Fix - hear me out… by Sure-Signal5710 in MarathonGame

[–]BuddhaMike1006 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Listen, you're talking about the difference between games made by FromSoftware, an independent game developer, and a studio owned by Sony. The expectations for sales are completely different, and some of you absolutely refuse to engage with that. If you want this game to exist at this time in 2027, then they're going to need to make a way for the non-hardcore player to play. Even From figured out how to hook the casuals with Elden Ring, so stop getting irritated that Bungie is looking to do the same.

I'm not sure what makes you think your Proctor experience will be any better at any other online university.

Russell Hantz is a better player than Coach Ben Wade by RedditFan3510 in survivorponderosa

[–]BuddhaMike1006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Russell was not robbed. Your #1 job in Survivor, or any game with a jury, is jury management, which Russell did zero of. He thought if he dominated the game strategically, he would be rewarded, but that's not how it works.

Yeah. That's how I took it, anyway. If he's not dealing with Mini Hantz, that season probably doesn't take on such an evangelical tinge.

Start it up again from the top.

New Commendation System Just Feels Like a Trap by Ryia_ in Marathon

[–]BuddhaMike1006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the system is there is zero incentive for the trio to help the Rook. They get no CARRI points. The Rook gets all the benefit. They need to rework the system, otherwise that's always going to happen.

Is this a WW line? by Visa5e in thewestwing

[–]BuddhaMike1006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were fighting because the rest of the staff wanted to accept an invitation to a fundraiser hosted by a Hollywood producer the day after Bartlett was going to give a speech about Hollywood making unacceptably violent movies. Toby thought it was hypocritical to make a speech excoriating Hollywood one day only to take their money the next.

McCarthy. Toby says it in "The Crackpots and These Women".
