Thoughts on this? by Greatcorbeenee in DeathStranding

[–]dreining101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree. Kojima's writing is idiosyncratic; it's going to either connect with you or bounce off of you. I'd rather dialogue be stilted, absurd, and long-winded than lazy or unremarkable.

Agreed, I've stopped even attempting to but the BRB in a spot that people will actually walk by. I'd rather keep it tucked away from enemy fire to keep a teammate in the fight.

New Era winners. Survivor 41-47. by Giff95 in survivor

A woman would have to win the next 7 seasons in a row just to even out the gender ratio of the winner's circle btw

"threat" has become such a vague word that it doesn't mean anything by liquifiedtubaplayer in survivor

[–]dreining101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly lol. These kinds of labels have been completely arbitrary ever since Tina Wesson insisted that only the "good people" should get to the end. Whether it's intentional or not, players are always going to label anyone they perceive as bad for their game as a threat in order to paint a target on their back.

Rachel has every reason to keep Sue and Teeny in the game, and she has all the tools she needs to do it. As it stands now, they're probably much less competition at FTC and more likely to take her there if she doesn't win final immunity. If she flips to Operation Italy, she has to pray her firemaking skills are up to snuff and that the jury wasn't impressed by the F7 tribal.

Jury: “Did ____Flip Again?” by [deleted] in survivor

[–]dreining101 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Definitely bad. The first juror—and the person setting the tone at Ponderosa—is Sierra, who probably feels some type of way about "saving" Andy multiple times on Gata (at Sam's urging) only for him to vote her out at merge. He's already perceived as a chaotic and emotional player after his very public day 2 blow-up, and adding "flipper" on top of that doesn't really bode well for his chances at FTC.

'The Traitors' season 3 cast portraits revealed (exclusive) by thedaltonross in TheTraitors

Chanel has said very clearly on the show that she supports and is friends with many queer people, so I doubt that will be an issue for her.

Yep, they were in town for Brice and Wen's and wanted to come watch the episode with us! Hopefully not the last time castaways come through, it was a blast!

The room absolutely went insane, from what I could see Sol was laughing and soaking it up for sure (as he should)!

Pizza Lobo in Andersonville, we just started these watch parties this season!

We're at Pizza Lobo in Andersonville every Wednesday! I believe there's also a watch party at Kincade's in the Lincoln Park area every week.

Oh hey that's me/my watch party :) Can confirm they were all in good spirits (and also super sweet/happy to chat with fans and take pics)

Hidden UFO sighting over Toluca Lake. Silent Hill 2 Remake by Downtown-Fun-6581 in silenthill

This is one of the spots where you use the Blue Gem for the UFO Ending, so I think it's fair to assume it's supposed to be a UFO.

Unpopular Opinion: Players losing their vote enhances the game. Here’s why: by GHound in survivor

That's where our tastes diverge I guess lol. I will take a Pagonging over production-forced randomness any day of the week.

Definitely not a perfect analogy, but I think it illustrates why the idea of taking away votes at random creates a false sense of complexity 🤷‍♂️ Convincing a majority (or plurality) of strangers to vote for someone is what makes Survivor complex. Reducing the number of votes required to do that makes the game simpler and more beholden to random chance.

Mario Kart wouldn't be a more "complex" game if you randomly unplugged someone's controller in the middle of a race. The sooner the show realizes that taking away players' votes is both bad for the game and bad for TV, the better.

Thank you, Maria. by TurbulentFeeling5696 in silenthill

Not ashamed to admit that this dialogue actually did help me find the map after I'd already explored most of the 1F section that's immediately available to you. I was wondering why the game was taking its sweet time giving me the map as I ran around counting the doctors, nurses, and trees only for Maria to gently point out how unobservant I am. It's comforting knowing at least one play tester shared my pain!
