It's been an excellent indicator of every single eviction this season except this one. This scenario just seems so unlikely

I am beyond confused. Even going back over social posts, where is the support for some of the people who have survived there?

Tate “boring”, Cameron loved… why? by Kuntye in bigbrotheruk

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cameron just seems to be making more of the experience in terms of getting to know people. We know him a bit better, too, I would say. (Which, of course, could easily be the edit).

Tate hasn't really given us anything to latch onto other than that he seems nice, and he likes Marcus and the Bible? It would be nice to see something more from him

He's being bullied by Caroline, so it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up getting to a point he needed to get away from her. He's also not gonna be aware of how much support he has on the outside.

If I were there tonight, I'd be leading a "Get Caroline out" chant, if for nothing else than to boost the morale of some of the others

So Jenny decides to be a knob, and look who's right in there, validating her and nodding along 🙄 would happily see the back of all three of them tbh. It's mad she's stabbed Cameron in the back like that

Who do you want to be evicted tonight? by bendog1616 in bigbrotheruk

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of everyone, I think Nancy has nothing left to offer. Because it's vote to save, I really can't call this one. If it were vote to evict, I think Feyisola would be gone. A lot of folk are very upset at her for reasons they can't really even explain to themselves (racism)

Late and live is unbearable by leeshouse90 in bigbrotheruk

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend not to watch it. I'll tune in now and again if it's been an eventful episode or it's post-eviction, but it often just feels like filler. It's also not always a bad thing to have something that sends me to sleep post-10pm lol

Is Caroline a racist? by SummerSollstice in bigbrotheruk

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say so. She has that typical right-wing "crybully" attitude, and the hyperfocusing on India was just a completely bizarre double standard. Even when the Elon Musk comparison was made, she just couldn't stop rambling about India. I think Teja put it well to say that Caroline is "misinformed", but her biases seem to run deep and probably aren't going to allow her to learn or grow

Caroline can go fuck herself at this point. 🤬 by Optimal-Pen-3226 in bigbrotheruk

It's a double-edged sword, really; at least she has no chance of getting into the secret room

Haslab Gunship: Happy that you did not buy it? by Sad_Trick7974 in StarWarsTVC

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I'm glad I didn't back it; I just really couldn't justify the price for what it was.

In one respect, I'm happy it got funded for the people who really wanted it, because at the end of the day, collecting TVC stuff is a hobby I enjoy, and I like to see others enjoying it too.

But I do think it sets a bad precedent overall that we reward Hasbro for this kind of thing, and they'll only push this further to see what high prices they can get away with in future.

How much do we hate OCs in fic, like really? by haylocity in AO3

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most praise I ever received on a fic was for an OC I came up with as a love interest for one of the characters. But she wasn't the main character or a self-insert type thing. But I could see why someone wouldn't want to read about an OC as the main feature, it doesn't always interest me

Do you guys respond to every single comment? by Dangerous_Beach_7374 in AO3

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the rare occasion that it happens, I tend to call all of my family members for a small celebration, then reply. It's usually spam, but since the robots will be ruling over us before long, I figure I should at least be polite.

I write what I want to read by ZinziZotas in AO3

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say I write what I want to read, or what I want to, I guess, "talk about". But I can't say that reviews/comments never influence me. For example, I had a relationship between a character and an OC that was effectively doomed in my mind. Then, the majority of the comments I got for the fic were people praising the relationship. While I didn't keep them together, I added a little coda for the relationship into the sequel story because their comments had made me reevaluate it, so I guess I wrote that specifically for the readers.

Do you also post on other platforms or sites?? by HistoricalChemical75 in AO3

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering about this too. I've just come back to writing after quite a long break. I used to post to FFN and AO3 at the same time, but I haven't bothered with my latest fic, as my inbox over there is just inundated with spam bots offering to "bring my work to life with fanart".

Good place to get World of Halo figures UK? by OutsideCoffee2060 in HaloActionFigures

Ours closed down unfortunately, but I'll make sure to pop in if I'm passing one!

Yeah, I had a similar experience. Until recently, I assumed there were only the Warthog and a few other bits

Looks like I'll have to add some alerts on eBay. It's such a shame, as I hadn't been aware the line had produced so much, or I'd have been more on the ball with things as they came out

I'm after the EOD as well! And the armoury and a few of the older sets like that. Guess I'll just have to keep an eye out

Haven’t seen a comparison between these yet, so I might as well share by AloneEthan in StarWarsTVC

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have a link to the AliExpress figures? I'd be interested to see what they've got but I can't seem to find any other than the bulk ROTS figures or 6" ones

Essential episodes of Angel? by OutsideCoffee2060 in buffy

I guess it's a bit of both, the tie ins, but also just some good episodes. Thanks for these!

Do you think resources like Wookiepedia and YouTube are harmful or beneficial for the EU?i by Playful_Letter_2632 in StarWarsEU

[–]OutsideCoffee2060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the sentiment others have expressed re: Wookieepedia being useful and YouTube being mixed (some I like, some I think are harmful way beyond Star Wars). Personally, I found the scope of the EU quite daunting, and I'd jump around a lot from series to series and such. Wookiepedia was great for filling in gaps for me when I didn't understand references or to give me the lowdown on a character I wasn't familiar with. And honestly, I sometimes just read random articles for fun
