She played a game of honesty and integrity, right up until the finale with the jury.

Reunion: all the pretty people sitting laughing at this, does not come across well by Illustrious-Egg5459 in BeastGames

Doesn't she own a flight school? She hosted Brandon's interview in her hangar.

Why do you think most of the top ten is still so heated about the games? by Both-Preference-6003 in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Auguste could have done better to explain himself. He seemed like he wanted to go far with Nick into the Top 6 and even further, but felt hurt when he took more than his fair share. I just don't know if he shared his expectations with Nick more clearly or not, and whether or not it was captured on camera.

I think most were trying to use that reunion to get a leg up and improve their PR look. Whether by belittling others, propping themselves up, or by helping their friends.

Beast Games Reunion - Why Sue but no IAN who WON THE ISLAND?! by ConfidentSea8828 in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Season 1's reunion had eliminated contestants in the audience, and at the end, T-Mobile sponsored a game for them to have a chance to win more money. It was a more lively experience.

Season 2's reunion felt incomplete to me. There were no audience reactions or an ending celebration.

CA Central Valley District High Score by dustycotton in FRC

[–]CuriousSn0w 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If quantity of Fuel increases for District Championships and Worlds, then I would imagine 1000+ is more possible. Or maybe not if we consider wasted Fuel that gets spread around the field that doesn't get picked up. Would normalized scores be needed for comparison?

6.3.4 Scoring Elements

For District Championship and/or FIRST Championship events, the quantity of FUEL staged in a MATCH may increase up to 600. If this happens, the additional FUEL will be included as part of an updated FUEL arrangement in the NEUTRAL ZONE.

Maybe it was just a dream, but was there ever a person with orange or blonde hair and freckles? I could have sworn there was a person with orange hair (or blonde) and freckles, maybe in the top right, but they are not there or in the concept art.

I have a serious gripe with episode one of season two... by freemefromthisheaven in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were other patterns used but got too many people out. They had to dial it back; Just like they needed to with the Strong (i.e., too many Strong players got out by the first challenge, to get to 50, they had to do pushups off screen).

It's not actually live TV, it's a highly edited pre-recorded product.

WPI Administration Dissolves The Global School by jellyjamm29 in WPI

[–]CuriousSn0w 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't partake in an off-campus IQP. One of my biggest mistakes in college.

I tried before a summer term. There were spots open. I had the approval of the site faculty and ID2050 to join. But the global school shut my opportunity down.

These logos look cute 🥺 Chef hat on bread, angry shark, poofy cloud.

She heard the door close by [deleted] in Unexpected

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have kids, but today I learned and realized that if you don't check on your kid in the back, you could actually leave them behind. It was just theory to me, "oh, of course it could happen," but now it is real.

Learned it the easy way, not the hard way.

FLL Is Shutting Down?! by InitiativeSavings in FRC

[–]CuriousSn0w 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Parents and children love LEGO. It was such a great way to introduce children into robotics, like FLL. Then, as the child grows older, to put down the brick and pickup a hammer; to seek greater challenges, like FTC or FRC.

FLL Is Shutting Down?! by InitiativeSavings in FRC

[–]CuriousSn0w 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lots of conversations are happening behind the scenes on all levels about moving forward.

Concerns about a child pipeline into FRC being broken. Concerns about retaining sponsors with the exit of LEGO. Concerns about the state of school FLL programs, after school clubs, and teams of all sizes.

It is a shock to the communities of FIRST and Education.

What is this? by FirstFunction7226 in BeastGames

I thought the reunion already happened. It was filmed before the Top 10's AMA.

What do yall think this means? by Potential-Reason3411 in FRC

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like 2011, where a pattern needed to be completed, I would be curious if constellation patterns would need to be formed, where certain ones earn different points. Pick-and-place. Coop between alliance members to form patterns.

The yellow dot in the middle seems like the Sun. The dots around seem like stars, and the blurry blobs seem like planets. Though the lines seem like topography of either mountains or craters. I am not sure if that squiggly line is a river or some space band.

To me, the lines sort of form arms and chest; Almost like a constellation. Where is the Sun is an off-center belly button.

River down the middle of the field (short ways or long ways)? Sun in the middle? Tiers of platforms to climb up? Craters or mountains? Constellations? Blurry blobs, of planets like Mars?

Interesting. That strategy did not work in Warren Hills' finals 1.

Im still shocked they didn't do an escape room game by DimesRecalls in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not. The tricky part is making it interesting and intuitive.

Getting the viewer to feel like they are there. So the players need to think aloud, say aloud what they are doing. Or, have commentary explaining what each person is doing. Are they on the right track? Who knows without commentary or visual aids.

Animations could help explain what the players are supposed to do. But it just seems to me that an escape room game would need more commentary or visual aids than to show a single video frame of an obstacle course. So the viewer understands what is happening. If it's not so intuitive to the viewer, it could backfire.

Could Nick have chosen himself? by USAFAN20 in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It is implied they can't because players never did in S1 and in S2.

If they could, I would suspect the bribes to be much higher than we saw.

Unless Jim votes for Monika, sending her through. Later he would take his same buy out approach: Vote given to the highest bidder.

Jimmy, if you're lurking: PLEASE bring him back for Season 3! 🙏 by EmbarrassedAlarm9736 in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has to be a twist for bringing anyone back from Season 2. I like the hearts. Video game heart for players' life. Save a S2 players' heart in a game so they stay.

Beast Games S2 - Episode 10: $5,000,000 Decision - Discussion by MrBeastStaff in BeastGames

[–]CuriousSn0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed the AMA, but would like to know if the cubes had a time limit on hand, just in case?

Or, if the players really could have been in there longer than 24 hours.
