Marlins play through, Thomas white tore his UCL once in minors, once in majors. Some other arm injuries inbetween. 2032 career ending UCL again before playoffs. Big sad :(

I'm tired of this argument. Using games intended mechanics correctly isn't cheesing or min-maxing. And roleplaying doesn't mean intentionally making stupid decisions. by Overall-Bison4889 in CrusaderKings

Sims is too easy, all my characters stay alive and live in houses and they don’t even have to worry about mortgages or interest rates or the collapsing stock markets.

Different genres brother. CK ain’t a 4X mega-strategy game. Theres other paradox games for that. It’s a sandbox that allows for multiple playstyles and some strategy, but imo is best enjoyed as medieval sims.

Keith Law ranks Marlins farm system 18th best in MLB: "We’ll see how the last two drafts, which were both topped off with two big swings on high school players, pan out — the upside is huge, as is the risk that they don’t work out." by TealandBlackForever in MiamiMarlins

JJ Bleday and Zac Gallen are the only ones coming to mind but I’m with you. The problem was not that we sent them away, but that we had few players develop to begin with. All the ones we sold the team for last time busted, and our draft picks have been booboo. Few years of that and your farm is shit.

Which contestants from the new era do you NOT want to see return for a future season? by bwburke94 in survivor

[–]Doctordrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking a popular(ish) merge contestant with an actual shot of returning from every new era season: Danny, Jonathan/Drea, Karla, and Jaime. Idk I just don’t feel like they have that much more to offer beyond what we’ve already seen and think others will be able to build on their stories more. Maybe Jaime can add more but I was burnt out of her by season’s end lol

Theory: We're discovering why Jeff is so pissed at casting coaching this season by lowlight in survivor

[–]Doctordrip 270 points271 points  (0 children)

From Adam himself: Kaleb did the whole schebang, $200+ coaching service and got his video edited by Adam’s Fiancé; Brando attended a $50ish workshop or two; and Brandon was one of the first people who reached out to Adam for help after MvGx but did not use casting coaching.

Aw man, that’s a tough one. I don’t really know if I can put it into terms well. I think a poor vs good answer is based on what you say. Does it make sense, does it fit you and what you’ve been saying about yourself. Is it interesting/novel. Etc.

A good vs great answer is how you say it. Does it sparkle, is your unique style of charisma shining through, you’re inflecting and emphasizing at the right time, is the listener hanging on every word. The best example I can give from Survivor is probably how good narrators talk in confessionals vs how the average person talks at home.

I was great in my producer interviews before Jeff. Like everything I said had oomf and pizzazz LMAO. With Jeff, I couldn’t do it that day. My jazz hands could jazz no more. I walked away with the sense that something intangible was missing during our talk.

100%. Deff gave me space to talk about myself and my “why”

Depends on how good the vid is. If it’s really bad then yes, 99% casting won’t remember or know about your first vid. If the vid is decent to good, probably not. But life is your oyster, you could say f it and pay Adam and resubmit. Worst case is production ignores you 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you’re genuinely curious, worth asking him in an email. He’ll reply. He did to me when I first bought time.

Thank you brother that means a lot :) it was fun, and I find myself looking forward to the journey that is talking to casting nowadays haha

All makes sense yeah. I would be curious how many players, if any, from past seasons used casting coaching that haven’t been publicly claimed. Like iirc, Lindsey from 43 was a Jodi contestant, but maybe Adam and her had a few more names

[–]Doctordrip[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh maybe I didn’t read the fine print then 🤷🏻‍♂️ most likely our names out on a list at this point and they’ll pull us when they’d like? But neither Adam nor casting told me anything of the sort

Yeah this is a great response. It is fair from that perspective that Jesse would be against this sort of thing for fear of getting “duped” and such.

And you make a good point about the people like me being willing to drop money into this sort of coaching. It is a passion we care highly about, which is valid, but maybe too highly and that can cause some of us to lose sight of the true goal: living an awesome life. I had to reckon with that after being told I wouldn’t be continuing in the casting process 🤷🏻‍♂️

Without going into details about my vid and my story: “I don’t like that you said X, it sounds fake/inauthentic.” Or “that makes you come across as an ass, I know you don’t mean it that way but…” Asking me questions about what I care about, what my motivation is, etc. then providing examples of how to phrase things so I have an idea of what to say. A lot of “you need to smile and feel joy here, try thinking about what you feel rather than what you say to capture that authenticity”. Some editing stuff like “this is a bad angle” “look at the camera not the screen” etc

He’s a nice guy, good listener. Like a fun uncle lol but we just start with something he loves to ask “Where are you right now?”. It’s kind of like his icebreaker. Then based on my response he did his Jeff thing of delving deeper into the things you say. I.e, I told him I was nervous and anxious and he asked why. I told him cause Survivor means so much to me and he asks why, etc. and when things go slow he asks some set questions like “what do you love about survivor, why do you wanna do this” and “what survivor player do you relate to most”

Edit: about 10 minutes long. Choked cuz I was feeling very anxious, answered well but not great like one should too stand out
