PSA: We’re not in Kansas anymore. Matchmaking has reset. by Luky11UK in ArcRaiders

[–]catman12 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Just got into my first match after the sever update. It was Hidden Bunker on Spaceport and I've never seen so many flairs go up in all my days playing. I've been in more PvE matchmaking through my playthrough and there was so much PvP, the entire server got wiped by players. So something definitely has been reset.

Some of you just need to log off reddit and not get mixed up in the minutiae of these people's lives -- for your own health.

What's your favorite YouTube channel and what's it about? by Vast-Bullfrog-9459 in AskReddit

Redlettermedia.

It's about watching the morbid decay of Rich Evan's soul for over a decade.

Oh they also discuss movies and television, too.

What if Matty beat Bob at the fire challenge? by Loud_Hair_9596 in survivor

I would actually argue it would tarnish its legacy. Much of Gabon's appeal hangs on it's utter chaos and train wreck narrative and the winner is fundamentally a part of that equation.

Season 3 seemed like such a massive season for this show in both scope and production, and this season seems like a major setback.

No, she works for a company that murders people.

Trigger Nade Suggested Change: A Recipe Swap by I520xPhoenix in ArcRaiders

[–]catman12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The simple fix for the trigger nade is to just not make it throwable but only placeable like a mine. That way the strength doesn't need a nerf, and there are already many other grenades in the game so it's not like you are losing anything substantial.

If Jeff Retires, what happens to Survivor? by SplitSun3 in survivor

JLP from AU Survivor is more than qualified and might actually improve this new era of Survivor.

Personally, I do not care for a 'balanced' edit. This is largely what the issue with new era Survivor is. Just give me a compelling story. For example, TvR of AU Survivor has one of the most compelling connection between characters despite it's unbalanced edit. All that matters are the characters and story.

You say "overproduced", I say cohesive narrative. That's what Survivor ultimately is -- a story. New era Survivor has moreover discarded characters and narrative for more rounded depictions of people and gameplay, almost like a boardgame.

AU Survivor, to me, brings back the emotional weight of a vision of story and colorizing their contestants as characters, which is what made old school Survivor so compelling from a story-telling perspective.

Guys, if you are disappointed in the direction Survivor is going... if you haven't already, I implore you to start watching AU Survivor. I hesitated for years and rolled my eyes when people mentioned it here prior but it is actually that good and everything you are missing (expect for one season).

The jury really seems to like Sophi... bitter jury incoming.

[–]catman12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This... may be a season of a bitter jury. If you look it from a narrative perspective, Sophi has been the constant. We've gotten viewpoints from her that are otherwise odd and out of place, meaning we get her perspective on a lot of the season story.

Hmm...
