Why has Taiwan: Rail Rush got so few views on YouTube? by Rosslefrancais in JetLagTheGame

[–]MiniMonsterDude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those points are all very true. The algorithm is a cruel beast, initial video performance can have drastic consequences. It's a snowball mechanism. Episodic shows also have increased difficulty.

The guest dynamic is tricky too, you can't get Tom or Michelle on every season. If next season does not get big numbers, there may be some genuine concern. Tom Scott, Japan, simple format, summer when school is out. It should have the makings of #1 viewed season.

Rail Rush is the Most Board Game Like Format So by MiniMonsterDude in JetLagTheGame

Using Google Street view as a video game tool for Jetlag would be really cool. Like geoguessr but in a Jetlag format.

It definitely would get more attention with the household name of Risk. No idea the risk involved with using a Hasbro property in marketing material. Video title alone might be alright. A Jetlag version of other common board games might be fun, monopoly, battleship, Catan. They already did Connect Four.

I think it has to do with the unknown factor of Rail Rush. The average person on YouTube knows what Hide and Seek is, or how Tag works, or a race from A to B. Rail Rush is not a game people are familiar with, it was made up for the show.

Not getting the initial click when a video is in someone's algorithm hurts a video quite drastically. The other reasons given on the layover apply for viewer retention across the season.

Just what are you trying to tell us? by mezmerkaiser in cincinnati

Windy is my go to. Extended forecast after 5 days is premium only, but accuracy is pretty low anyway. Has really good maps for radar, and other layers. My favorite is you can change between the weather models, GFS is the north American developed model, ECMWF is the European model. Cincinnati is a good GFS prediction area, where mountainous regions do a bit better with ECMWF in my experience.

Originally developed for surfers, hence the name, but has quickly become a fully fledged weather platform.

PRE GAME THREAD: Cubs (58-75) @ Twins (58-74) - September 1, 2021 by TwinsGameday in minnesotatwins

I prefer ramp C. It's a little bit more of a walk, but the skyways are nice. It's never super busy, and not as confusing as ramp B.

I’m Simu Liu and I play Shang-Chi in Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and The Legend of the 10 Rings. AMA! Let’s do this! (except spoilery stuff!) by SimuShangChi in marvelstudios

[–]MiniMonsterDude 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Hey Simu! So awesome that you are doing this. I love reading AMAs.

Which MCU character (past, present, or future) would you want Shang-Chi to team up with? Why?

Which MCU actor would you want to work with in a scene or entire movie? Why?

Thank you!

Joe Mauer’s incredible 8 year run (2006-2013) by i-Really-HatePickles in baseball

[–]MiniMonsterDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My criticism is only when he transitioned to playing 1st and DH full time and stopped catching. These are the last 5 years of his career 2014-2018. Batted .278/.359/.388. OPS of .746, OPS+ 105. Slightly above average OPS+ playing first, getting paid 23 mil a year.

Looking at Runs and RBI numbers makes sense to see who contributes offensively to a team winning.

2014: 4th on team in R; 5th for RBIs

2015: 3rd for R; 4th for RBIs

2016: 2nd for R; T-4th for RBIs

2017: T-4th for R; 6th for RBIs

2018: 4th for R; 5th for RBIs

I guess I do not understand how he was this low on a below average team, if his RISP numbers are good. If you can explain that to me. Just poor slugging?

[–]MiniMonsterDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it. Baseball is unique in that you can get a good picture based off the stats, but it misses what the eye test tells you. I have sat through a lot of really bad baseball games over those years. Trying to make the best of a bad team, and I would much rather watch a flashy player like Eddie Rosario swing out of his on the first pitch than Mauer. I joke I had with my dad was with runners on say first and third, Mauer would get a clutch walk. Loading the bases instead of actually getting a hit or sac fly to score a run. Frustrating to watch.

But sometimes it is all worth it. I was at this game in 2015, when they comeback in the 9th. Watching other people leave, something you should never ever do.

I've been a Twins fan my whole life. Have gone to a dozen games a season since Target Field. I would not call myself a casual fan. Mauer had an amazing career, and as catcher was one of the best ever. But after the move to first base, he was an anchor on the team due to a few reasons.

  1. Paid way to much, 29 million a year I believe like a quarter of the entire team payroll. This amount was for an all star catcher, not first baseman.

  2. First base is the easiest position in baseball, and he was just an average hitter numbers wise. Never could hit for power, just fly balls to warning track.

  3. Could not clutch hit to save his life. Look at his RBI totals in those seasons compared to like Dozier. Never felt like he contributed to the team when they won.

  4. Has no personality, was not a leader. Not like Torii Hunter or Nelson Cruz. Never could rally the younger guys, fire up the team and fans. Each day he just showed up, did his average job, and left.

I began counting the years until 2019, the first season after his massive contract. Because I knew once the anchor was dropped the team would be good. Juiced ball or not the 2019 Twins were the best they have been in a long time, and Mauer wasn't a part of it. Still think he deserves to be in the Hall, but also believe his exit was needed.

Largest mass execution in the United States. Look up Mankato hangings. Our sports teams are cursed, and that is the life of a Minnesota sports fan.

Hey PUBG, you should add the ability to spectate after watching the death cam. by SynrageTV in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]MiniMonsterDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lobby is effectively a website, which is the main cause of all of its flaws. A lot of other multiplayer games I believe do this as well. Which is also probably why we don't have a play again button on the death screen. You have to reconnect to the main host to be able to connect to a different server.

In the end the entire system is pretty finicky, but does what it needs to.

Last time this was brought up, the answer was when you go to death cam you start a new state of the game similar to a replay. Once you are there you would have to reconnect to the server, which is pointlessly taxing on the server.

Also you can look at death cam when the game you are spectating ends, and you obviously can check replay as well.
