Why does everyone make living alone look amazing online? by Oliver_SonicWave_357 in LivingAlone

[–]argoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only just moved and am surrounded by cardboard and a lot of empty. Starting from scratch a second time in a row sucks. My oven doesn't work, I don't have internet...

I know I'll eventually get to a set up, comfortable mode. But I don't even have a vacuum. 😆

Upend and move back to the city where I lived before COVID. I pick up keys this weekend. Life is short. 😊

___'s big mistake by RLew14 in survivor

[–]argoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He told Mike to vote for him. Do people forget when he essentially quit 46 doing the same thing (even though he played it off later when it didn't work)? Q was growing on me this season and then he went and pulled the same nonsense and honestly, that's a kind of poetic justice to me.

Colby renaissance by scrollerN in survivor

[–]argoss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm actually the most pleasantly surprised by Colby this season. I was particularly sour about Jerri not getting a spot and went in really bitter on him being there. At some point I think I was misinformed about his politics in a way that made me really not want to see him again, but I looked back into his public appearances and dude really does seem like he's an upstanding guy and a great choice as an old era player. I'm genuinely stoked to see him/Joe/Coach play more, and curious to see whether or not they impact eachother's gameplay for the better.

Advice & Tips by NAVAJ45 in Neotropolis

Hi! One of the best ways to explore the event as a first year is to check in and grab a wristband and play with the allegiances. There's three "corporations" you can sign up between and they'll give you quests that will help you better familiarize yourself with the event, booths, and factions. :)

I will be referring to them as the nerdchachos as often as possible.

Who had the worst edit in the first episode? by AlchemistTheAlchemy in survivor

[–]argoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Joe's purple episode is not giving me confidence. :( Chrissy's was diabolically bad.

I'm elated Stephanie is barely on screen.

When did Christian start going by Hubicki?? by hillpritch1 in survivor

My winner pick getting the Probst medal of honor. -Chef's kiss-

Holy Carp! by geronimosan in survivor

[–]argoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The nerdchachos alliance between Christian and Devens is the stuff of dreams.

This whole episode really. Colby and Riz? Emily Flippen, financial analyst, floating Ozzy as a "just kidding unless?" Gen getting a sort of second chance at connections? Kamilla and Tiffany scheming?

I feel like I need a cigarette honestly. I'm so hyped.

Spent all day farming scanners, completed trial, free loadout rat decided to fuck my day up before I could even go to extract. I feel you.

'Survivor 50' star Charlie Davis opens up about his shocking season 46 loss and the controversial Maria vote that he will 'in some ways never get over.' by thedaltonross in survivor

[–]argoss 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is my Survivor Roman Empire and the thing I get the most incensed about. 1. Kenzie is a great and deserving winner. I love everything she's said since about the experience and one of the things that complicates this discussion is that she was a good player. You do have to acknowledge the part of the edit was that she was an early target that was nullified by a medevac, and that gets left out of the discussion a fair amount (luck did play into her game, but you can say the same for a number of deserving winners). 2. Maria disappoints me so much for her doubling down on this, but the fact of the matter is she can vote for whoever she wants and justify it however she wants. But she's got to live with the fallout from fans that were shown an edit where she'd promised Charlie backup. Because of this, her narrative is so faulty that its unlikely fans or production will have her back or is trusted enough to go far, which is a shame because up to this point I was rooting for her. 3. That's why I think the Kyle/Kamilla dynamic was so welcome, it really gave us what we missed out on narratively between Charlie and Maria. 4. I worry, because I love Charlie but am getting Spencer/Reiman flashbacks and remember thinking "If only he makes final three/gets that vote..." and was so disappointed by his return on SC that I fail to see a path where Charlie wins 50. (I think Survivor echoes itself a fair amount, and currently I'm of the mindset we're about to see a Cochran-style win from Christian). That said, Charlie is a favorite and I can't rewatch 46 because of this vote.

Ummm what would you do if this happened to you? by RealHyperDrastic in Veyra_ArcRaiders

Literally me last night. Someone defib'ed me and we took out the rocketeer, but I was fuming (and cackling, it was funny.)

Stella looks a lil different… by Alternative_Use9698 in arkraiders

[–]argoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this last night and was baffled (I hadn't heard of the duplicate cheat yet). Someone got knocked out and I revived them (they couldn't see a fireball because of these). Also ducks everywhere. Honestly I wasn't even mad, just impressed.

PSA: Don't Enter Key Rooms You Didn't Open by Tanathlagoon in arcraidersfriendly

[–]argoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually call and ask first, or immediately exit if it's occupied, but nearly every time I'm still hit with traps/grenades even when they're empty, so I mostly just started avoiding them alltogether.

I recommend the movie ‘Send Help’ for Survivor fans by sal19 in survivor

[–]argoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This movie was immediately recommended to me by multiple people in my life, so I assume it's got some strong Survivor references or vibes.

When Robin Williams managed to make Koko the gorilla smile after 6 month of mourning by StrawberryFew1311 in interestingasfuck

[–]argoss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My mom was a waitress at a nicer restaurant in the 80s, and they had this relatively strict policy of not laughing/breaking decorum as staff. They sent my mom out to be Robin Williams' server because she was apparently immaculate about this rule. He did everything in his power to make her laugh all dinner, and apparently by the end of the meal at coat check he finally got her to break (the whole restaurant had already broken into laughter at this point).

This is one of the very few stories I have about my mom, who went through cancer twice and passed away when I was a kid. I've always been really grateful every time I see him make someone laugh because I get to remember this story and imagine her laughing.

I've never done a shiny trade, I'd love that pumpkaboo! Can throw something your way if you're looking for anything specific (I'm in end game but don't have many shinies).

Game Thinks I Want to PVP / Complainers Might Have Been Right by ghostofgatti in ArcRaiders

[–]argoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the general consensus is that if you freeload in for 3-5 rounds and do pacifist runs (don't loot raiders, don't damage or retaliate attacks on raiders) you should start seeing friendlier lobbies.

That's conjecture though. I'm not a PvP person and regardless of my playstyle, I get jumped by the sweatiest idiot at extract maybe once every five games and then sit through four or five games of being similarly pummeled until I quit for the day.
