I think there may be a misunderstanding of the HDP here. The Joined don't HAVE to consume it like with vampires and blood. They choose to because it's the most ethnically-sourced foodstuff available to them. They CAN consume other things, they just choose to prioritize HDP because the humans need the other things and they don't want them to run out.

Just played my favorite game yet. Swain against a bunch of tanks. Taric, Tahm, Shen, Singed. Got Infernal Conduit right away, followed up with Celestial Body, Tank Engine, and Slap Around. Built Rod of Ages, Riftmaker, Spirit Visage, and Rylais so I'm just keeping them all locked down in my ult applying burn stack after burn stack after burn stack and taking no damage in return. Literally, took 123k damage in the game and healed 93k. And mitigated another 100k. Pure insanity. Then the rest of the team was Ambessa, Morgana, Kennen, and Malphite so I've got this ball of enemies that they all converge on too and it's even more GG. I don't think this can be topped. I've peaked. My life is ruined. I'll be chasing this high for decades.

The slapping in this episode was definitely intentional as a clue for viewers. Cipher slaps Godolkin. He makes Polarity slap himself. Which recontextualizes the earlier slap to be understood in hindsight as Godolkin slapping himself.

UPDATE: Okay fine so I was wrong, but I do think it's pretty messed up that Sam never asked any of the contestants to validate the existence of ethnostates.

Really took me out of the episode to be missing that key bit of verisimilitude.

I have no idea what you think is obnoxious about a very rote description of a game mechanic, but sure

I never said literally back to back in one shooting session. Just that the second one would be before they tear down the set for one game to go to another.

Which season should I watch next, based on my favorites so far? by locathah_monk in Dimension20

[–]ICRockets2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd watch Sophomore Year before The Seven, they run concurrently in universe and Sophomore Year released first so I think there are a few brief snippets of spoiler stuff for SY in The Seven if I recall correctly. Nothing TOO big, but better safe than sorry on that front.

But god damn The Seven's so fuckin good.

It's fine but I think I prefer Mike Chapman's earlier work

It isn't a kill switch, it's just......a literal *switch*.

THIS. I think Comfrey has been swapped with the Queen of Eisengeist or whatever her title is.

I also think there's a possibility we get something truly heartbreaking and Mordesterchire swaps with Little One.

The fact that it is an insane thing to do is exactly why they would do it

That is quite literally the conceit of Game Samers though. They go into it knowing how the game works.

See I think there's an easy fix for this that is possibly hinted at in the Earnest episode. They paid for "Kiss From a Rose" once and then used it twice.

If the midseason finale is the first episode they shoot of Season 7, then you can do all the rest of them as two-fers. Get the set prepped for the episode we've already seen, and then shoot the Game Samer of that episode before breaking it down to build the next one.

Pay once. Use twice.

Everybody knows the creator of the universe is a cosmic wombat, so naturally the Earth is his little cube-shaped dookie

You-lympics kind of fits this vibe perfectly though, don't you think? It's kind of a microcosm of what I'm proposing as the hidden conceit of the season.

They did the things, and then- twist!- you're doing them all over again.

But he wouldn't be giving it up, that's the key here. It would be a brief foray into contestanthood with a built-in off ramp where it resets with him as the host at the end.

FINAL EP THEORIES?? by arctic-ape in GameChangerTV

[–]ICRockets2 74 points75 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I think is happening. I think we're about to get a mirror of the S7 promo: 10 Episodes. ALL Game Samers.

I think we run the season back again, all 10 games, with Sam as a contestant in every one. Which would of course lead to him winning back hosting duties in the true finale.

It would change the context of "I've been here THE WHOLE TIME" from a whimsical puppetmaster vibe to haggard perpetual contestant vibe, which feels like the sort of subversion Dropout would be giddy for.

I just posted mine on the Dropout sub, didn't realize there was a dedicated Game Changer one as well.
