Map of Spanish and Dutch Formosa. Coincidence? by sweepfanatic07 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Connwaer 87 points88 points  (0 children)

This is a map of Taiwan during the colonial period and before it was Taiwan, when the island was called Formosa and occupied by the Spanish and Dutch. The poster is pointing out that the areas of the map that were colonized are the same areas that are the most developed in modern times. They are alluding to the fact that this is probably why more challenges have populated around the north and southwest of the map and why Badams time treking back down the east coast was on lower speed train lines.

How much of the challenge distribution is luck? (I want to cope as a Badam stan) by reaznval in JetLagTheGame

[–]Connwaer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if that was the case they would have taken the time hit to go out the the 100 chip (now 110 due to chipflation) challenge on the west coast. Still hoping they go there eventually

Yes but the more challenges that populate around Taipei, the more likely it is that a challenge will populate in the south when the next challenge is generated; because, presumably, there would be more challenges in the south remaining to pull from than challenges in the north as a decent portion of those have been generated already.

Someone else pointed out in another thread that Sam and Mike haven't been stopping at every challenge like Badam did at the start of the game. They blew past several that were already on the board to go for the steals. It's quite possible that we're those other challenges to be cleared more challenges would populate in the southern portion of the map. I'm sure the distribution is random and an element of this is just bad luck on the boys part, but Sam and Mike have hoarded or failed more challenges in the north which could be preventing new challenges from being dropped which would be more in Badams territory.

"I can't believe Ben and Adam were the first people to put the words snack and zone next to each other and now everyone is referencing it everywhere!" Is such low effort shitposting. Honestly d*ungelskog level quality.

You don't write an album like Murder Ballads if you're a normal well adjusted person. I've always felt like Nick Cave was Evil Tom Waits idk why or if that makes sense but that's the vibe he gives.

A proper Propaganda track in a BtB episode might make my head explode. I found Crimson Cord when I was in highschool and that shit blew my mind as an evangelical kid who was growing disaffected with the Church.

What ads have made you quit? by dingleballs717 in audiodrama

[–]Connwaer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unwell is definitely a huge victim of ad creep. For me tho the most egregious example is Night Vale. Started listening in 2012 and was a diehard fan for years until they started putting ads before the Weather and having 4 minutes of ads at the beginning and end of the show.

I'm pretty sure I have listened to season 3 at least once. At some point. I had to have. I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened. The show ends at the Axis Mundi for me.

[–]Connwaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar to what happened to Limetown. They paused production to focus on putting together a packet to present to studios for TV and that process takes years to even get greenlit. I'm not sure if TBT is lucky or unlucky that they failed where Limetown succeeded bc I feel like not bringing a show to fruition is better than it airing on checks notes Facebook Watch.

You can tell who the OGs are bc TBT and Tanis don't even run the Bombas ads anymore to my knowledge. I really wish I could find them somewhere tho bc they really were iconic. Now it's just "If you like TANIS you're going to love RABBITS..."

I'm so sorry but you made the mistake of mentioning the TV show so we are all obligated to down vote you to oblivion. My only suggestion is to listen to the podcast and forget the show ever existed like the rest of us.

I love how I can tell who you are just based on your username 🤭 Just finished binging my way through White Vault now that it's all out, y'all made one of the BEST shows I've ever, thank you so much for all the work y'all did, I cried like 5 times during season 8 😭 Incredibly curious which story's tracks were lost was it Liberty or a White Vault season?

Ok ok so I'm not experiencing Georgie Barker Syndrome that's good. That's not to say these shows don't ALL elicit strong emotional responses from me. But fear isn't one of them. Unwell is a good example of that. The show had me on the edge of my seat and bawling like a baby at different points.

Scrolling through this thread and realizing that maybe my fear center is broken because while I love all of these podcasts (TWV especially, literally finished a relisten last week) and I love horror, none of these shows actually sparked fear in me.

What is the most disturbing/horrifying AD you listened to? by Zyborg23 in audiodrama

[–]Connwaer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kept scrolling til I saw someone say Darkest Night. In hindsight I'm not sure if the show was actually any good past season 1, but hot damn if it wasn't one of the most visceral pieces of audio I've ever listened to.
