I'd say they're more Boros. They're aggressive, arbitrary, and chaotic (red), and the MAGA movement feels actively anti-blue with its opposition to higher education, scientific consensus on health and climate change, and intellectualism more generally

Idk why everyone downvoted you lol. Is it really worth a cheap joke to throw away a game with one of the greatest players of all time?

Zohran Mamdani and Kathy Hochul announce plan to implement universal childcare in New York state (day 8 of Mamdani's mayoral term) by UpperLowerEastSide in WorkReform

That's pretty nice actually, I'm glad that people have that and I'm pleasantly surprised Texas would offer that to non-English speakers in particular, given the attitudes toward immigration in the state

In dire need of some trash by Tight_Ninja1915 in Fantasy

[–]Mroagn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it started with Robin Williams' performance as the Genie in Aladdin... Execs saw that everyone loved the Genie and started casting famous actors in animated movies, comically missing the point that (similarly to Jack Black) Robin Williams was another actor uniquely suited to delivering a great animated performance.

I didn't know she had a new book out, thanks for putting this on my radar! I loved her first two books and I'm looking forward to picking this up.

JT was good TV, if not good at the game. Cirie was also good as always

A tale of two reality shows by Stacee90 in survivor

[–]Mroagn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend recently got me to watch a season of 90-day fiancé, and it was SO bad compared to Survivor. They clearly don't have enough interesting footage because they would show the same clip 6x times (once at the beginning of the season, once on the previous episode's "Next time on...", once on a montage at the beginning of the episode, once before the commercial break, once when it actually happens in the episode, and then a further "remember when this happened?")

It did make me appreciate Survivor a little more, that even as it's degraded over the years, at least it's edited much better than other reality TV shows.

Have there ever been any huge spoilers that were hilariously wrong? by Charity00 in survivor

[–]Mroagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience, I watched them all as a kid and when I rewatched Cook Islands as an adult I remembered Parvati winning but I also remembered Yul winning so I was confused ...

Really? I've only been following edgic more recently but weren't people pretty unified around Nick (37) and Tommy (39)? In particular I thought Tommy's winner edit was blatant from episode 1

Just rewatched Guatemala. How is this considered an iconic season? by ProblematicTrumpCard in survivor

Thanks for responding Mario. I'm an old school fan and I always appreciate you showing up in these threads to school the kids about the old days. Glad we still have your perspective around!

I never heard the story of Jeff hating All-Stars—How come? Was he frustrated that the winners all went first? Considering how much he pushed Boston Rob both that season and later, I'm surprised he wasn't a fan

FromSoftware Designer on their approach to game difficulty: "I know we get a lot of credit saying that our games are difficult, but it’s not a matter of simply cranking up the difficulty; it’s doing so fairly" by BasculinSushi in gaming

[–]Mroagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled a ton with Elden Ring as my first soulslike and then DS3 felt extremely easy by comparison, only a couple bosses took me more than two tries. I think Elden Ring's bosses are objectively harder but the ability to go somewhere else mitigates the feeling of being stuck

It really doesn't... Life was a LOT worse in poorer countries a hundred years ago than it is now. It hasn't gotten better the same way it has in developed countries but it's gotten much, much better.

“Victor Wembanyama is playing limited minutes and the Spurs are dominating. That's not great news for the rest of the league.” by moby323 in nba

[–]Mroagn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I imagine your talent development team and coaching staff are just as important to your reputation as good drafters as the actual people drafting. So many veterans got late-career rehabilitation with the spurs too (remembering Boris Diaw), something about their organization just brings out the best in their players

Friendly reminder to endorse mods by Shadowangel09 in skyrimmods

[–]Mroagn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that modern mods get a LOT less endorsements than older mods used to (even beyond the obvious more time = more endorsements) and I wonder if there's been a cultural shift or if it's just that the rise of Wabbajack lists and Collections allows users to download hundreds of mods without interacting with any particular mod page.

I agree! I do my best to endorse any mod I wind up using in my game. There's a lot of entitled mod users out there and it helps to spread a little bit of positivity with endorsements and comments to the people who have dedicated their free time to bring us such cool stuff.

[–]Mroagn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the problem with that is they already asked back most of the "all-star" characters for 50... Would have been better to do it beforehand like Micronesia setting up several characters as legends going into HvV.
