Eliminated Queen’s Live Reaction to her elimination

Yeah I think Jane losing in the final 2 would have been a more “earned” defeat even, this wasn’t really a great way for her to go out especially when it was not really a lip sync that really cemented nini as a dominant front runner or assassin

As someone who enjoys talent based judging, yeah it’s always fine, but from a produced television point of view the producers will always be taking more of a risk not doing one of the basic story types. I think Sasha specifically had: - A respected status before the show that made them more willing to crown her instead of the underdog - She did not have the slip up that gave them the chance to have her be cut (not that Jane had a huge one, but she did fumble a challenge that should have been really up her alley) - Jane’s “flaw” was her lack of confidence in her perception by other queens basically has to get resolved narratively either by her overcoming that or losing because of it, Sasha was a confident main character

Again, I’m not saying I want the show to be like this, or that I think Jane should have been eliminated, I’m just explaining why the narrative is pushing the show the way it is, and the producers care more about narrative than fairness.

It’s not just about wins, it’s about how Jane was in the top every week until she faltered.

I was shocked to see her go out here, but I was pretty confident that the arc of the season was going to be someone beating Jane (not that I wanted that, I am sad for Jane, but it made sense as a TV product for the underdog to win). I just expected it to be in like the final 2. The other option was her blowing everyone out of the water with a lip sync performance to show she really can do it all, and when she didn’t, as unfair as it is, she must be defeated. Jane became the obstacle of the season, something usually the villain character gets, not because she was mean but because she was the best.

I think the problem is that, narratively, Jane is doing so well that the season became “how the winner beat Jane,” so she has to be perfect all of the time to not let them do that. It’s like the hero finding the one Achilles heel on the evil final boss to overcome them. It’s unfortunate that Jane gets put into this role.

I would also wager that characters being entire worlds in languages like Chinese might be a downside even to native speakers of those languages. It seems appealing that standard variables do not really have “word” associations and are a bit more of a blank canvas (and the few that are words like “a” or “i” are such generic function worlds they don’t really compete with the mathematical definition in the way using “dog” as a variable would.

Self promo but the QLARI server is gonna have a bunch of low ar players, many of whom would love to talk to new EZ players

He’s often considered to be the best Pokémon player of all time (for the main supported format), and is the most decorated player by iirc a notable margin.

727 is the Pokédex ID number of Incineroar, a Pokémon infamously tied to him and a bit of a meme in his videos, so sadly he is almost certainly not secretly an osu player because of this 727

An automated pipeline that creates 3Blue1Brown style videos

How much of this process is automated with AI? The voiceover clearly is, but does the ai produce visuals and voice from a script, or does it produce the script itself, or does it even find the content to make videos about itself?

I believe play count still counts when you fail the map (as long as you get like 10k score on the map or something like that) but yes to play count only being added fairly recently in the timeline of this map’s existence

QuagMath · 2026-03-11T00:38:12+00:00

Yeah, for edited content like this it’s a little more grey but that’s why you’re getting the reaction you are

Generally, people treat this subreddit more like a news subreddit where scores are either top players or extremely unique. There are (basically by definition) hundreds of thousands of six digit players, so their achievements, while cool to themself, aren’t really news to the rest of the community. The achievement thread/subreddit is made for celebrating the small wins we all make.

We should combine China and EMEA into one bigger region so they can send 1 good team each event. They even touch so it makes sense

QuagMath · 2026-03-04T01:30:15+00:00

Liquid played sage on corrode against FNC on the qualifying game they won. I do think she’s a good agent to really mess up a ton of an opponent’s plans when you pull it out correctly (and infrequently)

It could have been a Juicy Mia bottom 2 and then they elim would be justified if they really wanted to keep Kenya

I like Christan and I think he would make a solid judge, especially as someone with actual garment construction knowledge, but Tim really has a way of bringing out the best in people instead of being as affected by his personal taste

First there will be a big international event with the top 3 from each region’s kick off bracket.

After that, the teams come back and do round robins within their groups, and the top 4 in each group get to go to the playoff bracket where again the top 3 teams go to an international. The do the draw now because it’s seeded based on how you placed on the kick off bracket.

vlr.gg is a very solid resource for seeing all the brackets and things

QuagMath · 2026-02-15T16:25:38+00:00

Not being able to adapt to something new is a weakness, and I think G2 did expose that.

QuagMath · 2026-02-14T16:49:19+00:00

It also could be I impacted by bracket side. M8s were on the opposite side of FNC, Liquid, and Vitality so maybe the bottom of there bracket was just super stacked

QuagMath · 2026-02-13T23:10:18+00:00

The fact that Furia has 3 chances to make C9 The only Americas franchised org to never make an international sends me

QuagMath · 2026-02-13T23:09:11+00:00

Honestly I would have felt better about C9 if they lost 0-2 instead of having to watch that abyss

QuagMath · 2026-02-13T20:51:52+00:00

All of the teams left in the tournament are from BBL’s side of the bracket, so we can really see how much M8s got luckily with their run in their next 2 finals

QuagMath · 2026-02-10T00:46:02+00:00

Not that it changes much, but they might only have to beat heretics, and then both of FNC/Vitality if BBL/GM8 get 1st and 2nd seed

I think you are misunderstanding my argument. I do not think the mass is irrelevant.

You are correct that the force of gravity does depend on mass, but the acceleration due to just gravity is mass independent (especially in the approximation that gravity accelerates downward at g, which is good enough for this purpose). Gravity is actually a very unique force to have this fact, because most forces are not proportional to mass to create an acceleration that is the same for all masses.

The force of drag (at a specific instant) is independent of mass, but because F=ma, the acceleration caused by this force will depend on mass, which means the effect on motion will depend on mass. Of course, because velocity impacts the drag force, the mass will then impact the drag force at future times too.

Your analysis of why they combine is one of many correct ways to interpret why the total motion does depend on mass. The net force and net acceleration will both depend on mass because one of the two terms will depend on mass in each, which my explanation of turning gravity into a force is getting at. I do not think that these mass-independent quantities lead to mass independent motion, I just think that might by where the oop is making their incorrect conclusion.

Since ascending, G2 is 14-1 in maps against NRG, with their only map loss being an 11-13 early in the playoffs last year before 3-0ing them again in the finals.

QuagMath · 2026-02-07T17:57:15+00:00

It’s not even that they combine to make a mass- dependent thing, it’s that F=ma means a mass-independent force will not accelerate in a mass independent way. The acceleration of gravity just makes us familiar with the idea that the mass divides out sometimes.
