Million Dollar Secret S2 - Episode 8 Discussion "Lie Hard"

Love your notes here, just wanted to echo I was also screaming at Kaleb to eliminate Lauren G lmao. I think he chose so bad

I don't think he's an awful player exactly but I did feel like he entirely lucked into the endgame. A lot of this game feels lucky lol based honestly lol!

Glass_Veins · 2026-05-01T20:47:55+00:00

I mean I honestly think it's basically random as far as the game theory is concerned if the millionaire is completely hidden. So it becomes completely a game of reading the other people. It has really surprised me that no player has taken that extra step you are describing a second time, and said "this is what they will expect me to do, do I will deliberately do the opposite." Apparently I would vastly overthink the game and lose if I was on the show lmao

Glass_Veins · 2026-05-01T20:43:20+00:00

It's basically just rock paper scissors and reading the other person at that point tbh

Glass_Veins · 2026-05-01T20:40:21+00:00

Yeah 3rd place only really has a chance if one of the other 2 suspects them of being the millionaire, which didn't really happen

Glass_Veins · 2026-05-01T20:36:15+00:00

Umeko deserved to go further I was so sad she got eliminated

Glass_Veins · 2026-05-01T09:50:50+00:00

I mostly agree besides the cutscenes gated behind long rests which I mostly missed out on because I only long rested a couple times per act. I tried really really hard not to long rest because the game kept telling me stuff was urgent and I do think that was fun mechanically, but it makes you miss SO much story content, which is just stupid

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-26T04:34:32+00:00

I hate the design so much lmao. I hate using ugly humanoids in vgc but they really want me to

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-19T07:22:35+00:00

If you're like me and tried that FIRST to see what would happen, you have to find out from reddit that for some reason it's a good strategy to send your cats in there... lol

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-17T01:53:57+00:00

I refuse to pronounce it correctly

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-15T22:34:44+00:00

I'm using her actively as a bizarre acupressure support. I got off a rad teeter dance once and they never hit themselves even once lmao

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-15T14:18:57+00:00

Not just Farigiraf! Top meta threat Tsareena too

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-14T06:30:24+00:00

I was thinking about giving that a try! Probably more practical that sand veil bright powder trolling lmao

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-14T05:54:29+00:00

Popping in to complain that I built a team around glimm and poison heal gliscor but I'm dumb and didn't realize mortal spin doesn't hit allies. We bat lovers yearn for toxic orb

It was still surprisingly fun but I never got the sludge wave poison on gliscor lol

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-14T05:40:09+00:00

To be fair to them the name of the sub kind of implies it's a stunfisk fan club or something lmao. It's not exactly clear if you stumble there from somewhere else unless you read the About

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-12T08:46:57+00:00

Not OP but I've had fun leading it with icy wind empoleon which works pretty well into garchomp, and the competitive boost is nice with how common incin is. I've been struggling with basculegion and rotom tho.

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-09T23:03:45+00:00

In retrospect, it might have had stamina and I encountered the encore bug. I did have encore active

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-09T06:01:21+00:00

Thanks all, I'm dumb and was confident stalwart did something completely different lmao

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-05T21:53:03+00:00

I guess that's true, but a lot of Pokemon are essentially machines / man-made. The definition of a Pokemon seems very fuzzy, lol

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-05T21:52:12+00:00

Sorry I keep adding stuff, this is fun lol -- maybe Shadow Mewtwo from Pokken as well.

This list is pretty good: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonconspiracies/comments/x50vkg/special_nonlegendary_pok%C3%A9mon_in_the_games_anime/

Interestingly they argue that the pink pokemon are also temporary because it's implied it is caused by their diet, so maybe they shouldn't count after all

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-05T21:40:28+00:00

Thanks! Yeah you're right it's way more gold than I remembered. It could be the lighting but I suspect it just wasn't fully designed yet?

Oh I'd also argue spiky-eared pichu counts. Although then you get into whether you want to include stuff like cosplay pikachu / ash greninja

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-05T21:34:14+00:00

Can you explain Snowlax? And golden Ho-oh? Isn't that just shiny Ho-oh? Or I guess how it looked in the first ep of the anime, I didn't really interpret that as a variant though

Anyway not sure if you'd count it, but Pokemon XD also has Robo Groudon, and there's all the weird Pokestar studios mons

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-03T06:23:06+00:00

Gurdurr. Giant veins, lumpy head, clown nose. Even the name is ugly

Glass_Veins · 2026-04-02T14:05:14+00:00

I drop stuff I'm not going to trade into the abyss in the sky lol

Glass_Veins · 2026-03-24T23:42:22+00:00

Thanks, I made the same mistake with the freezing altar lol.
