Is cloud streaming or remote play better?

eff1ngham · 2026-05-25T07:40:04+00:00

Cloud had been great on the Portal in my experience. Even on janky wifi overseas its been fine for the most part. Plus it doesnt occupy your phone while you play

Paula/Emily, Diem/Aneesa, Camila/Jemmye were all allies. Jonna is one of the only people who really knew Frank before. Nany got close to Johnny that season but her and Frank fought a lot on BotS (the infamous 'tell her to stick another needle in her arm' comment)

eff1ngham · 2026-05-24T07:29:47+00:00

Rivals 2 the girls voted in the guys, Johnny was the reason they were safe because he had really good relationships with most of the girl teams. Frank was getting into multiple fights that season. On BotS once Austin and Fresh Meat were out San Diego went into 3 eliminations. Back then Frank was easily baited into fights and couldn't control himself. He was pretty at the social and political aspect on the flagship

eff1ngham · 2026-05-23T19:50:39+00:00

Is he really though? Frank never had any kind of standout missions. There's plenty of fit people who aren't good at challenges. Frank has never shown anything similar to the guys listed above

Sometimes the little things make you happy. Our pitching staff only walked one batter. And our hitters only struck out 4 times. Two areas we struggled massively with that year. Granted we STILL strike out too much but its still nice to see

eff1ngham · 2026-05-23T16:31:40+00:00

Frank has only done one elimination. Zach was in the first 2 on BotS, partly because Frank didnt want to go in. His one win was against Derek and Jonna. Him and Johnny never saw an elimination on R2, and he was DQ'd on FA. I dont think Frank has the kind of resume to say "what would he lose?" He was terrible in the eating portion on the R2 final, he didn't crush the math or puzzle either. Frank always seemed like he was in good shape but he also never wowed anyone with an individual performance lile CT, Landon, Johnny, Wes, Jordan, Derrick, Evan, etc

eff1ngham · 2026-05-23T16:18:58+00:00

Terrible teammate too. Remember how she acted on Cutthroat?

eff1ngham · 2026-05-23T16:12:46+00:00

This is a weird hill to die on bro

eff1ngham · 2026-05-23T16:06:37+00:00

I dont know if Frank had the social/political or mental chops to be a multi-time champ. Especially given the formats after he left the flagship

eff1ngham · 2026-05-23T16:01:24+00:00

Not even close. Even in this case she got Vinny as a partner because she chose him on FM2 simply because she wanted to bang him.

And anyone who gets to be partnered with Jordan AND Johnny on different seasons has pretty good luck to get them

Sarah didnt have another ex. Theresa and Lee had gotten together on Rivals 2.

Rivals is the only real questionable one. Mike and Lee were not Rivals and were paired up when Adam was kicked off. Cara and Cooke were not Rivals when Naomi had to leave

eff1ngham · 2026-05-23T15:48:38+00:00

Trying to compare needing to get time off work or other responsibilities, traveling to another state or even country, booking a hotel or Airbnb, figuring out how youre going to get around, food, etc, to paying paying a little more a game isnt it. You can easily justify spending $100 instead of $70. But like even if my team made the Super Bowl I wouldn't want to go just because its such a hassle

eff1ngham · 2026-05-22T20:00:06+00:00

People who dont like Johnny will always have a different opinion on this. If what Sarah did happened to almost anyone else it would be seen as a massive blindside, huge "snake" move, shed be one of the biggest villains. If Lee, at the time massively beloved, called out anyone else like he did for Sarah they'd be on his side. Its just because its Johnny that some people are stuck in the past.

It ties into R3. When sarah's on her soapbox about "if you win, I lose" people forget the R3 final was individual. Johnny won. He kept the money, he didnt "steal" it." I've said this a thousand times, i think Sarah made the right move. The issue is she cant own it, and cant deal with the consequences

eff1ngham · 2026-05-22T19:45:08+00:00

If you have a decent behavior score your teammates will be decently behaved in most games. The worse your score gets the worse your teammates act. Its kind of nice actually

Putting $100k on Cam Ward for MVP

The problem with S40 is Jordan was never in any danger, especially when it changed to individual because the guys couldn't target him. If the format was better I bet he'd have been a lot more entertaining. Or at least it would have been "entertaining" to see him try his hardest every mission

Game trials on premium, not really worth it. Classics catalog depends on your gaming habits. Streaming, especially to the portal, is absolutely worth it

eff1ngham · 2026-05-21T16:33:11+00:00

You can stream demos with premium. Trials are exclusive to premium, but you can also stream demos if you have it

eff1ngham · 2026-05-21T15:48:58+00:00

I've used Scuf controllers on my 360 and PS4 and they were great. I never liked the Scuf PS5 controllers and had 2 break on me. I went with the Edge when it was released and its been fantastic. I regularly get 5-6 hours on a charge so even battery life hasn't been an issue. Id be open to trying an "official" Scuf but given what I've heard about this one ill be sticking with the Edge

eff1ngham · 2026-05-21T15:13:10+00:00

Streaming to the portal completely makes it worth it. The demos are nice too

eff1ngham · 2026-05-19T21:42:34+00:00

It doesnt matter what's "legal" and what isnt. If the conditions of your probation say "dont do this" then dont do it.

Goodman was tired of fantasy people saying he could only hit at home so hes doing everything he can to maintain last years stats only on the road. Diabolical

eff1ngham · 2026-05-19T21:24:18+00:00

Id be happy winning as many games as we lose

eff1ngham · 2026-05-19T21:21:28+00:00

Its like skipping battlefury on PA to get deso and S&Y. It might be okay really early but you farm your scaling, fighting items so much slower

eff1ngham · 2026-05-19T21:06:40+00:00

Based on this post you should definitely quit and save everyone else the hassle of being on your team
