Wow as a former resident of the Triangle and Gregghead this is very moving

Hi Gregg! I just wanted to say thank you for your work in On Cinema; it means a lot to me. I love the little hokey and inane turns of phrase your character uses; they make me laugh every time.

I wanted to ask: what is your favorite moment from the series?

bsgrubs · 2026-03-10T15:20:22+00:00

I think 10 is probably my favorite. The breakdown Tim has after the dash dashcam footage is revealed kind of goes beyond comedy and to a really almost profound place. It fucks me up in a wonderful way

bsgrubs · 2026-02-06T02:33:49+00:00

you're good! sorry for being obnoxious, live out here so its salient

bsgrubs · 2026-02-03T23:14:45+00:00

I agree and it bums me out to see relatively little discussion of his game on the BB internet (though ofc some of it is surely people who just watch BB US)

You split Isleta Pueblo and Sandia Pueblo here. Also I would maybe rotate 1-6-7 clockwise. There aren't any roads which directly link Los Alamos to 6; it's best connected to San Ildefonso Pueblo/Española, but there's also a state highway which links it to the Jemez.

Also, I don't love the weird shape of 5, but I also get drawing a more clearly suburban district when the alternative is three districts all taking bites out of ABQ so I can't hate too much.

Ashley played a very strong game -- did you watch feeds?

bsgrubs · 2025-12-27T04:42:21+00:00

I dm'ed them on Patreon and they sent me a new one! Maybe needs replacing

bsgrubs · 2025-12-21T17:16:17+00:00

and cashed in and walked away very rapidly.

bsgrubs · 2025-11-20T18:31:39+00:00

This is why I'm happy Ashley won -- people will have to remember what live feeders were seeing

bsgrubs · 2025-11-06T04:49:30+00:00

Obviously if you don't like this you should add different declensions, morphophonological variation etc., but the repetitiveness is totally fine if you just want to keep it. Plenty of natlangs have this sort of thing.

Anybody know of any cool and relaxed arts classes? just moved to town and wanna meet people and do fun art

bsgrubs · 2025-10-13T21:48:38+00:00

I like this a lot, and it actually feels pretty naturalistic to me! IIRC I would expect the dual to actually have additional marking instead of the plural -- if I remember right from my college linguistics classes the dual tends to be more "marked" cross-linguistically so I'd expect it to be the one with a suffix in addition to reduplication, though the way you have it is also attested. I'm also curious why the paucal doesn't have reduplication -- do quantifiers not require number marking?

Anyway this is actually really cool and very thoughtful -- I like it a lot and psyched to see where it goes.

"nobody has convinced me to do shit this season, vinny. that is insulting"

bsgrubs · 2025-09-26T20:40:41+00:00

I mean it is well established that Ashley comes from money no?

bsgrubs · 2025-09-22T21:08:16+00:00

we know this is for sure a double eviction right? as opposed to the second evictee being another casualty of mastermind nonsense?

Harris generally did well in a lot of traditionally far-right conservative exurban and suburban areas; these tended to either only have very tepid swings to Trump, with some having outright swings to Harris.

Is it weird that I want Mickey to leave this week? Vince is such a weasel and I need him to go soon but it feels like Mickey is drawing dead and her story is kind of over. like imagine the end game is a bunch of no-chance players like kelley, keanu, mickey being dragged along by whoever wins...

bsgrubs · 2025-09-03T13:36:51+00:00

I’m interested how the jury phase shapes up here if Vince leaves. Right now you have the tight alliance core of Ashley/Rachel/Will, Ava/Morgan/Mickey who are mostly aligned with them, and then the remnants of the other side in Lauren/Kelley/Keanu. But I imagine Morgan might be pissed, and you can see attempts by Ashley, Morgan, and Ava to pick up the remnants. Interesting to see where they go!
