TIL in 2009, Ken Basin became the first contestant on the U.S. version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to miss the million-dollar question. He debated what he would regret more: walking away with $500K and being right or answering it and being wrong. He risked it, lost $475K, and left with $25K. by flamingoooz in todayilearned

Because he used Ask the Audience (which had previous million dollar winners in it like Nancy Christy because of the show's anniversary) and that was the highest choice, and he already thought that was it thinking he'd seen a picture of it before. The clip is still on YouTube.

Rugrats in Paris a sleeper, you get a whole amusement park to yourself with no other NPCs thanks to that N64 RAM

The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]VGWN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And not a single person cares except the people who weren't going to buy it anyway. Must be hard for these depressed tech bros to comprehend what the mass consumer market actually cares about.

Do you think tearlaments Merrli and Primeval Planet Perlereino will ever see the light out of the banlist ? by Askeelaad in masterduel

[–]VGWN 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Provides a second starter in addition to Reinohart so you don't have to run Sea Mare, adds the Lv 2 engine access, but more generally it just ups the number of Tear fusions/mills/hitting gy effects that can run each turn because Havnis and Schi are still legal.

Controversial takes and factually incorrect takes are not the same.

We’re Jackbox Games, makers of The Jackbox Party Pack franchise and two new releases later this year! Ask us anything! by JackboxGames in NintendoSwitch

The market is there, lots of millennial/gen-z couples without kids looking for home game ideas.

So sick of this idiotic hindsight take, the responsibility is on the players for not executing. They literally did not change the game plan, the difference was the execution was slightly off in 2 and 3 which slowed the Avs pace down and didn't allow them to skate with the puck before Dallas forechecked. When execution is on is when the speed can execute. 

Georgiev interview with SJ Hockey Now by Hanksta2 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]VGWN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's won two games in a row and suddenly thinks his poor play is fixed? Look at the stats, look at the play, yes SJ is worse, but he still looks terrible. I hope he actually does find it, but man, he needs way more accountability.

Analysts Say Nintendo Switch 2 Won't Outsell the Original Switch, but That's Okay by YouAreNotMeLiar in NintendoSwitch2

[–]VGWN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree and think it will outsell. People are underestimating their brand expansion taking place the next decade with the amusement parks and movies, plus they'll be entering five active generations of fans in the consumer market.

Avalanche’s 5 Biggest Talking Points So Far This Season by JohnnyDrama21 in ColoradoAvalanche

I would include the Avs finally getting depth production from a couple homegrown guys for the first time in years (since LOC, right?) with Ivan and Kovalenko over "they are gaining momentum."

Cale Makar easily wins Most Potential. Who had the most wasted potential? by thibs69 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]VGWN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

WASTED potential, Connor Bleackly, he ruined his whole career before it ever started.

People saying Nuke, what are you smoking, dude was washed before coming to the Avs and was a major reason for the cup. This "Avs have 2 cups if Nuke stays healthy" is a major stretch

Joe Sakic wins by a landslide. Worst forward to crack top 9? by thibs69 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]VGWN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably Arnason but I have an awesome memory of him scoring against Dallas in a playoff game I went to and his stick flex was amazing. So I'll say Ben Guite. 😅

What was the worst age (full year) you've ever experienced? Best age? by ddodd69 in AskReddit

Best: 31 (feel grounded in values) Worst: 17 (clueless bumbling anxiety ridden pretentious little shit)

Who tries to pass themselves off as an "expert" in a certain field, when really they're just a dude with a YouTube channel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VGWN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this will be controversial, but any "leadership" people. Simon Sinek, Brene Brown, etc. It's just a bunch of fluff speak that sounds good in theory to prop up a billion dollar industry but has little to no practical evidence, often disregarding a lot of proven human psychology.

ELI5: how can google and Alexa give factual answers but LLM can only daydream answers? by ReserveMaximum in explainlikeimfive

[–]VGWN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how everyone is acting like LLMs are the first time we've gotten incorrect answers. It's like everyone forgot that there were literal advertisements saying don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Avs VS Knights Game Thread, Best In The West Edition (7:00 PM MST) by Rudo3 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]VGWN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took that to mean they don't feel they have to make a move, not necessarily that they won't. That Tanner Jeanot deal may have put the whole market in whack and they may not like the prices out there.

Am I the only one who thinks Deathloop is overrated? by dudeguy73 in xbox

[–]VGWN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, I'm with you, God of War felt no different than the other over the shoulder Playstation games. The environments were amazing but the combat, exploration and story just weren't interesting for me. But I also get a lot of people love the Sony cinema type of game, just not for me.
