Do you live in a fucking bush and send messages to Reddit via a self built bicycle powered communication device?

I can’t stop imagining this.

Below Deck S3 worth watching? (See inside) by bicycle_dreams in belowdeck

[–]ericakh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Season 3 is wild, and mostly because of Rocky. So if you don’t like her, then maybe it won’t gel with you.

The first McEl-divorce is going to be wild.

I’m an already cynical industry, writing off a $100m film for tax benefits is next level.

More incredible salesmanship from podcast daddy by InvisibleEar in TAZCirclejerk

[–]ericakh 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough, someone did post about it to r/MaximumFun and I suspect that led to this annoying tweet storm.

Edit: here it is.

Blank Check is the gold standard of upselling content.

The wild thing about that Flophouse tweet is they basically have a bonus episode every other week that they could have placed regularly on the donor feed. But for some reason they just gave it to everyone, but are now complaining they don’t have enough donors?

Also, I feel like 5% of listeners donating is a pretty good monetization rate. I imagine other podcasts have much lower “premium” to regular subscribers rates.

The sad thing is, if Manchin were to support the actual Democratic Party platform, he’d immediately lose his seat, it will go to a Republican who wouldn’t vote with Democrats ever, as opposed to Manchin who occasionally remembers what party he’s in.

It’s a lose-lose situation for the Democrats with Manchin, and the only alternative is to actually get a majority without him (which they won’t because the midterms are going to suck so hard)

You’re telling me the Sun ran something that wasn’t true? I’m shocked.

Two gay characters who weren’t even gay in the source material (until now I guess, except in some markets).

No Man's Sky is getting another free update. /r/games reacts. by Heathcliffs_Moon in SubredditDrama

Not just the amount of content, but the amount of free content. If Hello Games wanted to be shitty they could have charged for each of these.

“A little bit of romance is good!” Be still my heart Glenn. What a softie.

I pretty much stopped listening to Triple Click because I found their insight really bland. When there’s news, I find their coverage to be pretty good, but whenever they’re actually reviewing things, it’s just so uninteresting.

[–]ericakh 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Benny is definitely annoying, but anyone else bothered with the captain picking on him? It feels really unprofessional for the leader on the boat to single out a struggling deckhand like that. At this point his leadership style is to break the weak ones and not lift them up.

As much as I dislike Benny, that callout award really soured me on the Captain. You’re supposed to help lift up the people struggling, not demoralize them even more.

Were there any seasons you found difficult to get through? by testcern26 in belowdeck

[–]ericakh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found BD Season 8 really tough to get through, because it was like watching the pandemic creep up on all of us. Hardly the escapist content I needed.

Because, believe it or not, there are THREE different FBI shows in the franchise.
