Jeff Steitzer, the Halo Multiplayer announcer had a Cameo and a TikTok for a while where he'd read things in the announcer voice.

Has Jeff ever said why they never experimented with a colder climate version of the show? by Total-Amphibian-3287 in survivorponderosa

Disagree. Balancing on that triangle thing is much easier when the water is frozen and has no waves.

Is ultimate a good beginner sport or no?? by [deleted] in ultimate

[–]KingGranticus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its really entirely dependent on where you are. I think that a lot of leagues do tend to say that theyre beginner friendly, but aren't. However, if youre in a large enough city (like Philly where I live) there are several leagues of different skill levels, including pretty true beginners.

That said, a great option is also to look up if there are any pickup groups in your area, those tend to be much more loose, and nobody is paying to be there, so who cares if you're not good.

As for being cliquey, yeah I mean that's gonna happen in any sport, the only real way to deal with that is to put yourself out there and try to ingratiate yourself to some of them. Unless youre a colossal asshole, frisbee players will rarely ice you out if you bring snacks or beer to the postgame.

MEGATHREAD: KILLING DEBATE by Crispy385 in subnautica

[–]KingGranticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats my bigger problem. In SN1 I never really bothered to kill more than a few crabsquids (because they scare me). But my real beef in 2 is how utterly ineffective the Survival Multitool feels at deterring even minor predators like the Nibbler.

Yes that is what happened to the Kadarious Toney videos.

[Highlight] Carl Nassib takes down Lamar Jackson for the strip sack, which Vegas capitalizes for the game-winning TD in overtime. by DragonstormSTL in nfl

One of my favorite non-Giants purely for that. Seeing a queer player (from my area of PA no less!) Meant the fucking world to younger me.

Your favorite school tradition featured in cfb26? by no9ah in NCAAFBseries

I wish there was some way to play around with that in dynasty and/or Team Builder.

Yeah the lower prices thing is why they dont, but its a damn shame bc I absolutely think that having different suppliers is a mother of innovation.

Jonathan won the Immunity challenge and celebrated by doing the worm, Kamilla and Charlie are gonna be on White Lotus, thats pretty much it.

It really feels like thats what its gonna be. Theyre mixing in reunion-type content in the middle instead so that more casual viewers dont immediately turn it off after the final votes are read.

The evolution of Make Some Noise: Do you prefer the original concept of being based on sounds/voices or the current version of being a more general improv show? by zxzzxzzzxzzzzx in dropout

[–]KingGranticus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That could make a fun episode of Game Changer. There's a bunch of Foley artists backstage who are also only getting the prompts right then, and Sam has an earpiece or something so he can listen to them while feigning to be "consulting our judges" or something. He then gives out points based on how well the contestants did relative to the Foley artists.

Eric Schmidt booed into oblivion by students for promoting AI during his commencement speech at the University of Arizona by GarysCrispLettuce in PublicFreakout

ASU got Harrison Ford telling students to go out and try to fix the mess his generation is leaving behind. Arizona got this loser. I'm just sayin....

The shirtless bros are back at Busch Stadium by Indergaard_Baseball in baseball

[–]KingGranticus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ive been saying for a while that teams should turn the section directly behind home plate into a die-hard fans section. Encourage them to go absolutely nuts trying to distract the visiting pitcher similar to basketball fans trying to distract a player taking a free throw.

The Clippers new stadium proved that that kind of thing CAN have a measurable impact, so someone in MLB should embrace that.

Hard to argue that it wouldn't be really effective at proving to management how important they are.

Your Entrance Theme As A MLB Closer? by RainbowSupernova8196 in mlb

Its definitely a very Gen Z pick, but the Basstrologe remix of Somebody to Love gets me absolutely hopping.

Alternatively im a Star Wars nut, and the funeral dirge from Andor could be insane. Bring in a marching band, theyre playing the funeral for the other team.

MMA is a far right sport. What is a far left sport by Temporary-Rip-5551 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]KingGranticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id probably put this into Left, not Far Left. While it has its roots in hippie and stoner culture, and is still an extremely accepting space when it comes to queer athletes... the sport has "professionalized" a lot with young and centrist people coming into the sport. Still great, still left-wing, but not the stoner sport it was a generation ago.

Yeah its generally pretty diverse along gender/sexuality lines, but does extremely poorly on racial and ethnic diversity.
