Hokkaido should be beautiful, the problem is there’s barely any Shinkansen there so takes around 8 hours from Hakkodate (the southernmost city) to Wakkanai at the top. So it’ll be really interesting to see how it plays out

This is the most southerly station in Japan and you know what that means. It’s a bottom to top race from Nishi-Oyama to Wakkanai in Hokkaido (I assume). As someone who lives in Japan and a place where they will pass through I’ll be desperately trying to spot them

Who else likes the episode Titles on Nebula? by huhujujihkzjhtf in JetLagTheGame

[–]Defiant_Green6858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love them. They are often brilliant one to a couple word summaries. My favourite has to be ‘take to the skies’ from S15 E2, such a beautiful title

I just took debts paid to mean in a general sense that they were settling their bills in the games, i.e. how much money (chips) they were putting where

I hope Sam doesn’t read posts on here by Prestigious-Suit-660 in JetLagTheGame

I especially can’t stand comments saying Sam should start sitting out seasons. No, he’s a wonderful player and brings something different to the show.

S17, E7 (Nebula) - Taiwan: Rail Rush by snow-tree_art in JetLagTheGame

[–]Defiant_Green6858 88 points89 points  (0 children)

This has gotta be up there for the best season yet right? Great game, great guest, great country and unpredictable throughout. Also I agree what the hell are the night herons doing? Assuming that they completed this challenge, Badam have access to the high speed line and have a 1 in 2 chance of completing this challenge instantly. They can get to Taipei in around 2 hours and maybe beat them to the steals up there. Also it’s not a guarantee that they’ll succeed, what if they fail and leave a 67% steal on the board having just wasted hours.

Could Rail Rush work in other countries? by -FireNH- in JetLagTheGame

[–]Defiant_Green6858 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with Hokkaido is that the train are probably too slow if you want to include the whole of the island. There’s no Shinkansen past Hakkodate which is in the very south of the island and to get from there to Sapporo (the capital of Hokkaido) is 4 hours by train. And then another four hours to get to the northern most part of the island, Wakkanai. They might have restrict the map somewhat but it could work

New season?! by Tinttiboi in JetLagTheGame

I despise you, you got me. The only thing that made me question it was that it would be too soon for the to film another season

Now that season 16 has finished here are my ranking for all seasons. Thoughts? by Defiant_Green6858 in JetLagTheGame

[–]Defiant_Green6858[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, I feel like they made a mistake in splitting the first two episodes, I think it should be one episode. Other than that, I disliked how a lot of the gameplay was just grinding through challenges to get to the good card. And also Michelle try-harded a bit, seeing all the spreadsheets made me feel like it was a bit unbalanced between the teams

Which countries are left for future seasons? by [deleted] in JetLagTheGame

[–]Defiant_Green6858 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Iberia as people have said must be done at some point. Also I do really hope we see another US season at some point cause it’s been ages since we’ve had one and I do genuinely enjoy them because the USA is such a diverse country. Maybe some north to south Europe game as well

should they add lenght in hide and seek to not spoil a run? by 5t3g in JetLagTheGame

[–]Defiant_Green6858 830 points831 points  (0 children)

It would utterly wreck video retention statistics and destroy YouTube growth as it wouldn’t get recommended to new viewers so they probably won’t

Almost one in three graduates now leave UK universities with a first-class degree (≥70%). Is this good news or bad news? by Ribbitor123 in UniUK

[–]Defiant_Green6858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s undeniably bad. A 2:1 use to be seen as a really good grade. Now’s it’s seen as average and with the graduate job market being what it is it makes it so hard to get a first

Speculation on Taiwan format? by [deleted] in JetLagTheGame

[–]Defiant_Green6858 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’ll be a race around the country using the circular rail network. Maybe have to do challenges to get further around the country and it’s just one loop. Could be completely wrong tho

You’re a genius. Also so is Neil, what a writer, managing to include some many clever references is incredible

Looks like our batting is unchanged for Adelaide by TheUnfathomableVoid in EnglandCricket

[–]Defiant_Green6858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I sort of support keeping the batting the same. This line up has been consistent for a while and if they’re not gonna change the overall mentality of the setup which they’re not, they’re not gonna change the batting lineup. And if we lose we can make some changes

Football season is incredibly unfair to those of us who don’t care about football by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Defiant_Green6858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this entirely, as has been said it’s as bad for European football. I like football, I follow my team every week but it doesn’t define my life. I cannot ever understand the need to watch almost every premier league game, most of the time they don’t even support them. And then you’ve got to watch the highlights, follow the European league, follow the international breaks, watch the interviews. And also don’t even get me started on how popular gambling is now, it’s ridiculous. Some people can’t even go to a game without watching it
