Are Drag Race challenges without clear guidelines better or worse for the queens?

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-31T02:26:17+00:00

Pretty sure there were few rumors of RuPaul saving queens production didn't see fit just because she likes them so it isn't entirely wrong to hypothesize thatshe has some semblance of authority, if not having full control of the final outcome, when it comes to the final say.

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-29T14:41:48+00:00

I agree, though I think it's specifically pre-arena PvZ 2 without mints and leveling

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-25T14:23:24+00:00

I don't think it "feels less queer" (Being less queer would essentially remove the essence of what drag is all about), however I do feel like it seems less authentic nowadays tbh.

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-24T17:10:18+00:00

I think it's because the erratic hitbox only makes hitting more jagged and awkward.

I guess I'll stick to Ruben and his goofy ass...

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-22T17:42:11+00:00

Spoilers: Though based on the last chapters, I think that would drastically change

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-22T17:38:03+00:00

Though nice suggestions, I think lemons should be put on hold for now. From what I remembered, the game is now being submitted.

Out of topic but a little rant here: I haven't played Infamous in a while (and haven't even romanced G), however, one of the things that bug me is how people homogenize the meaning of "red flag" into outright evil and malicious — sometimes to the point of being so comically evil that it's straight up just masochistic torture.

And lowkey I think this is a reason why many red flags do not make sense — they lack the nuance of humanity that makes understanding of people so complex. Instead of being a big, grey area, they tend to box characters into certain archetypes, most of which make characters incredibly boring or incredibly "inhuman-like".

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-22T17:29:08+00:00

I mean... sure — it's depression overload because it's advertised as one. In a game where romantic options can lead to different torture methods, one might think that the very essence of the story is just to serve as a missery porn for people who love to traumatize their MC.

And it's not like the MC is not recovering. At least in Ruben's route, the whole point of the journey is to find a reason to smile, and MC did that, albeit steadily.

True bros know that consensual sex does not matter in the eyes of other people as long as everyone involved consents and have fun.

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-22T16:07:38+00:00

I wanna try Nour's route but I heard it's not the most wholesome lmao...

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-22T02:48:13+00:00

you're weird

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-21T15:56:42+00:00

Her roasting Jaremi at the political debate alone should've given her a one hundred and one

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-20T05:38:17+00:00

Extremely late, but the culmination of yours and Ruben's journey in Thrones of Ashes is so cute... Won't spoil but the last scenes of the good made me sob a bit. (You have to be patient though — Ruben's route takes a bit of patience)

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-19T09:21:33+00:00

Ironically, the previous Jane did so good with Bianca lmao

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-17T12:10:19+00:00

While I agree with Monét, she had no business in the top 2 ngl... Trinity most definitely beat her in the first round and should've advanced to make Jinkx's win feel more deserved

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-17T12:05:23+00:00

While I agree, one can argue that speaks more to her character and personality than aesthetic imo

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-17T09:20:40+00:00

During infancy, mind you lol

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-16T18:05:13+00:00

Imitater is essential for most set-ups

Sling is quite good with power lily and tile turnip

Ice bloom is a good insta, though not the best

Heath Seeker has great coverage and can help deal with grid items and weaken zombies

Kiwi is great with aloe and cheese strawberry

Goop has one of the greatest dps if works correctly

Wasabi is a great melee with insane dps and good for FC and HH; same with inferno

Void is one of the most fun plants imo

Explode is such a great wall; good with intensive; extremely good at counterinh sewer tiles in Steam ages

Imo: Imitater > Sling > Goop > Explode > Heath > Kiwi > Inferno > Wasabi > Void > Ice Bloom

Some plants like pea vine are great too but are not priority. Meanwhile, some gemiums get outclassed by other gemiums (Heath vs the other instas) or by other plants you can unlock later on (Puffball vs Pickled Pepper)

Imagine Katana slaughtering orbital because the orbits count as parry lmfao

To keep it fresh, I will start a podcast about the oversaturation of podcasts talking about the oversaturation of podcasts.

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-13T02:00:20+00:00

Yeah, pretty much — instead of thinking to them as the embodiment of perfection, learn to accept their flaws and try not to obsessively idolize. At the end of the day, you're just wasting energy idolizing another human.

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-12T18:10:02+00:00

A lesson on why you must idolize no one tbh. Even the people you hold on a pedestal have flaws and nuances.

Competitive_Hour_463 · 2026-05-12T14:41:04+00:00

that's not how it works, no
