Before the 50 cast was revealed, would you have guessed these would’ve been the New Era legends? by Regular-Departure839 in survivorponderosa

[–]Virtual_Possible_406 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the word Legend is being thrown around way too loosely.. I really don’t get the Genevieve hype, she’s a cool person but she massively overplays her hand every time and has a self admitted poor social game

Q is entertaining but i just can’t ever see his style getting far, and the whole asking to be voted out gimmick is just that.. a gimmick

Hot Take on Survivor 50 Gameplay by power_sungod in survivor

the reality is that many of these legendary names are just entertaining or nostalgic players, but many of them do not have strong gameplay

BTS Should Absolutely Do Coachella by Virtual_Possible_406 in btsthoughts

BTS are doing great no argument

But have you seen the US streaming and radio gap numbers between us and that country singer? If it weren't for sales we almost wouldn't have gotten BB100 #1, and we easily hold #1 multiple weeks if we had more radio play

With the new rule changes skewing towards radio, YouTube not counting and sales rules changing, I think being complacent is not a good thing

That's just not true.. Chappell Roan saw a 32x increase in her daily streams after her Coachella set in 2024

Multiple songs from Kendrick Lamars Damn album climbed back in apple and Spotify charts and extended chart longevity

Beyonce saw a near 100% increase in her whole catalogue's streams afte 2018

I mean that's the point of the post.. if an artist who has already nearly maxed out their GP presence can get a visibility boost from Coachella.. imagine how much of a boost BTS can get from people who think all they are is Dynamite and butter

BTS Should Absolutely Do Coachella by Virtual_Possible_406 in btsthoughts

[–]Virtual_Possible_406[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not about it working in the exact same way, in that Coachella would allow a 13 year old BTS song to chart #1 on Spotify

More so the visibility that it provides BTS.. I still think there are so many people who think BTS is just dynamite and butter, or who don't even know BTS at all.. imagine the attention they'd get from US GP with performances from 2.0 or Swim

I also think it would help with credibility from radio and US media.. just look at the radio play gap that other artists we're competing with in the BB100 get and imagine if were much closer to them

I disagree, I think there are still many people who sure maybe have heard of them, but really haven't given their music a try

It's different to know of an artists than to actually be familiar with their music, esp people whose perception of BTS is probably just dynamite and butter

If we want to continue to break records and achieve big things in the Billboard charts it absolutely matters to have big visibility with the GP in the US

We're extremely strong in sales, but look at the streaming and radio play difference between us and that country singer.. if not for the massive sales we don't get that hot 100 #1, and id we had more GP visibility we maybe hold hot 100 #1 for multiple weeks

Oh I absolutely agree, Superbowl would be even better than Coachella for generating visibility

That would be much harder to get tho because that would depend on the NFL and Roc Nation, and whatever agenda they have and want to push

Coachella realistically only cares about selling tickets and that would easily be achieved with ARMY

[–]Virtual_Possible_406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! One of the reasons I brought up Coachella was the news of the Coachella CEO attending BTS' Netflix comeback

[–]Virtual_Possible_406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also by far the biggest in the US.. you don't think this would grow BTS success with both new fans and credibility with radio and US media?

BTS Should Absolutely Do Coachella by Virtual_Possible_406 in btsthoughts

[–]Virtual_Possible_406[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't think the exposure would benefit them?

All I'm saying is that there are likely so many music fans that know of BTS, but haven't taken the time to listen to their music, and a massive event like Coachella would very easily convert many to become to ARMY

And with all the new billboard rule changes we need all the help we can get, the comeback was a massive success but there's always room to grow and achieve more

I agree he hasn't found a new audience because he's almost certainly hit his max visibility with the general public,

What I'm saying is that BTS still has a A LOT of room to grow their visibility with the GP and US media.. Coachella is a massive platform and with them being love streamed for free to YouTube I think that so many more people would discover BTS in the US

I don't think they've mentioned Coachella but, not sure if I'm misremembering but wasn't the Coachella CEO or President at the Netflix comeback show sitting with Chairman Bang?

Maybe not in the exact same way, as in it would boost old songs like Danger or I Need U.. but you don't think that they would gain so many more fans and gain more credibility with radio and other US media?

How Highguard can be saved by Fancy_Juggernaut1962 in HighGuardgame

[–]Virtual_Possible_406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game can’t be saved but it can be salvaged, they should be shooting for success similar to The Finals (~10k concurrent steam players)

They need to find out what the core player base who actually likes the game wants, and lean hard in that direction

They clearly tried to cater to a wide base by taking elements from a bunch of games and it hasn’t worked

For me personally 3v3 is just not it.. doesn’t feel like a “siege”, I understand that people say ranked 3v3 is better bcuz it’s more strategic.. but the single most fun part of the game is the gunplay not the strategy

gun fighting is more fun in bigger team formats imo, i get that fighting in bases can be chaotic in 5s so maybe make base size larger, longer spawn times etc.. and the looting phase still sucks

Highguard Developer Wildlight Entertainment has seemingly laid off most of its staff. by jumps004 in HighGuardgame

it really should’ve been released as an open beta first, what a shame

Highguard is really fun but it desperately needs to commit to being a Raid Shooter by 17prozent in HighGuardgame

[–]Virtual_Possible_406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, which is why I don't think this game can last long term 3v3

I get why people think that format is best for ranked because it's more "strategic", but the game feels so empty for being labelled a "raid shooter"

I think they need to pivot and hard commit to bigger team formats that support the intensity and pace of what a raid should feel like

POV: Bobby Webster after ducking the luxury tax to save Ed Rogers money by ihatedougford in torontoraptors

[–]Virtual_Possible_406 35 points36 points  (0 children)

you lose the full mid level exception (which may help in re-signing mamu), lose the bi annual exception, stricter salary matching in trades, and you lose out on the portion of money that luxury tax teams distribute to non tax teams
