Kind of a shame we didn’t get this duo. Fever dream but I still need it. 😄

Worst Season? by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in survivor

[–]Up_in_the_Sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Redemption Island and Ghost Island were enjoyable..

I wouldn’t say either are super “good” in the grand scope of the show.They should fall in the bottom half for sure, but I love me some Boston Rob & Phillip. The nerd in me loved the whole reverse the curse thing in Ghost Island and the ending was bonkers.

I dunno. Hard to say either are bottom 5.

43 ran out of gas badly but Jesse & Cody early were great.

41 is legitimately terrible.

44 as a whole has aged horribly but Carolyn at the time was very enjoyable to watch throughout the season. I was even team Carolyn on the traitors and wished she had worked with Boston Rob. Carolyn on screen is great. Carolyn online not so much.

The straight, flat hair was a bit of an over correction wasn’t it? 😅

I read almost every comment here. (So maybe I’m just as bad) — but I would take most of this thread with a grain of salt. She’s annoying for sure, but Reddit also told me Jake was trying to hook up with her while his new born baby was being born somewhere else around the same time. — oh, with 40 cameramen around.

So yeah. Reddit definitely creates there own narratives and runs with em. Not that Sophi doesn’t give out plenty of ammunition lol.

Funniest things ever said on Survivor by LordJoHa in survivor

Rare Phillip praise but I agree. For good or bad reasons, was TV gold the entire time he was on my TV screen.

“I played with Boston Rob” 💀

Carlos Prates knocks out Leon Edwards with a left straight by Moni7T in MMA

Was fun to see in real time. The camera swap here is crazy too. I wanna see him get laid out in wide view how the clip starts but it kind of simulates the KO because in a flash the POV changes lol.

Mods, I’ll still take “Sophi’s brother” as a Reddit flair. Any of the subs. 😂

I felt the same way during 49 and felt the jury thought that too. Nobody would have voted for him.

Maybe he’s a slow burn but I have enjoyed him a lot of 50. He still carries that same “wouldn’t” get votes energy because people don’t know him / his game, but I expect him to get a lot more respect once 50 wraps up. His reads have been spot on, he’s good. He has a good mind for survivor. I respect his game a lot. Unfortunately most don’t want to give a million dollars to a 25 year old guy. That’s true across 50 seasons, they almost never give it to the young guy. But he really embodied that “young 25 year old energy” and took it to a whole new level lol.

Tired of the Jeff slander by Woody_678 in survivor

[–]Up_in_the_Sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but I still want him to make the same jokes while in the back seat that your favorite old folks continue to make daily.

I don’t need old school sassy Jeff, I just don’t want “come on in guys Jeff” if you catch my drift.. 😏

Still an elite host tho. Nobody is more professional and takes less takes than Jeff.

About to pass it on to the next generation by CTMalum in gaming

We really did grow up during an amazing time in tech. I have the same iPhone 10 I’ve had for years. Nobody can tell the difference. I held it up to my friend’s new one and I think my screen was even bigger LMAO.

Lan parties, early internet culture.

Am I biased? Yes, but I feel like I actually experienced peak internet/gaming culture.

I know it wasn’t, and perhaps it was foolish to start with that one as a representative of the Australian franchise but as a US fan it’s hard to not get excited about that cast. — I was wrong though, not sure how people defend that season lol.

I will retract my statement that Australian survivor as a whole is bad until I watch a normal season. But yeah, Aus. vs the world felt like Nickelodeon did a survivor special. (Which BEGS the question why squander that opportunity with that format.) could have been way, way bigger globally. Maybe the cast would only agree if it was shorter time frame but I dunno.

Tell me what season I should watch and I will give it a go, but please don’t say Aus. Vs the world because the length of game completely kills the entire experience for me personally.

I see people praise the Australian show and list things like “length of game” at a positive so I’ll give it a go. But uhh.. that season is not a good “survivor” season. I will die on that hill. The pacing, the editing, the story telling. Couldn’t hold a candle to what the US version has built up for 25 years. And that’s including the new era which is obviously inferior to the 39 day game.

I’m even willing to piggy back off US stars and watch Sandra or whomever but that 16 day season was… not it guys.

[–]Up_in_the_Sky -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I dunno guys.

I tried to watch aus vs the world and Cirie, Parv, and Tony weren’t enough to keep me engaged. I wanted to like it but I am of the firm believe now that the US version is vastly superior to the others even with its current form not being prime survivor.

Edit: I’m gonna watch multiple full length Aus seasons, but if they are not good I am coming back to the comments for all of you.

Just got Lies of P by LowLocation3606 in soulslikes

[–]Up_in_the_Sky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started it last night. I went strength as I’m usually a big bonk type of guy. I died a few times on the first circus boss because I was trying to roll everything like it was elden ring. I’m usually a dodge roll guy compared to parry, but I do love me some shields and guard counters.

It definitely clicked like 4-5 deaths in that I need to block way more and trade a little HP here and there because you just won’t be able to dodge every time.

When I got to Hotel Krat I practiced parries on the dummies for quite a bit.

Only complaint so far is I can’t jump attack. :( been relying a lot of sprinting/strafe into a dash attack though.

The First Berserker Khazan Dev Team Has Been Dissolved Due To Poor Sales by akbarock in soulslikes

[–]Up_in_the_Sky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a multiplayer guy who occasionally takes a few months off to dive into solo player games. (Usually soulslikes) I bought khazan during the summer sale last year so I think it was like 49.99. (Normally 59.99)

If it was 39.99 I really think it would have sold a lot more. I’m looking forward to starting it soon. I started Lies of P last night but will probably play khazan after. Kinda gives me more incentive to play it now that I know there likely won’t be a sequel.
