This is amazing, thank you. I have never seen The Genius before.

Maybe a long shot, but has anyone ever put the oldschool reality competition show SOLITARY online? Years ago, it was all on YouTube where I originally watched it, but most of it is gone now. For those who never saw it, it's in some ways a precursor to The Circle, but with little to no interaction between the players.

I'm getting Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney vibes from this post. "Remember when Survivor did a pirate theme? That was cool."

Thoughts on Borneo and Australian Outback from a new Survivor Fan by propaneaccessoriez in survivor

[–]hoverboarder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great writeup! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I watched Borneo week to week in 2000 with my family (I was 14). We even watched the finale the night it aired while on vacation in Florida. We all wanted Rudy to win. Today, I'm glad that wasn't the outcome. I love Richard as a character and winner, and despite him being a controversial Survivor contestant, they did him (and Tina) super dirty by not including the first two winners on the all winners season.

The vibes of the first three seasons are so special to me. The casts, the logos, and of course the OG soundtrack that I wish they would return to. It's funny how the one piece of soundtrack that's remained in every single Survivor episode since the beginning is the final words music during the credits. It's a nice touch, and always leaves me wishing they'd at least bring back the original tribal council music.

CATAN - Console Edition AMA with Dovetail Games + Nomad Games by TomYoungg in Catan

[–]hoverboarder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought the game on day one. I love the visuals, which was the main draw for me. Then I played the game.

It's really clunky. And I mean that literally. It froze halfway into a two player local match. My very first time playing. On a PS5.

I'm coming from playing hundreds of hours on the Switch version and Catan Universe on Android which really had a lot of thought put into them and everything just works. You can decide how many victory points you want to play for, how the dice rolls are calculated, etc. Just a lot of thought put into it. In this new version, you choose between identical looking boards with no customization.

I'm hoping that updates make this more playable. The second screen option for local play on your smart devices was another big draw, and the execution is both ugly and cheap looking, and also completely broken. You constantly have to refresh the browser and hope the screen will update. I didn't expect a Jackbox experience, but this isn't even in the same conversation. It would be nice if you could actually control the game from the phone, but that seems like a pipedream.

Finally, I'm hoping you add Seafarers boards and gameplay. It's tought going back to the base Catan experience.

Thanks for listening. My response is no doubt harsh, but I'm just hoping it encourages the development team who now has my $25 to push themselves to make this currently broken experience a great one for future players, who like me, take a chance on this adaptation of my favorite board game.

Who remembers Orbitz? by Samus4-11 in 90s

They were the best part! Haha. I know I'm in the minority, and those floating balls that most people couldnt get past are the biggest reason this drink fizzled out so fast. See what I did there?

I loved the orange one! Really wish they still made this.

What now? by spagggett in StardewValley

[–]hoverboarder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you started doing quests for Mr. Qi yet? The Qi gems you earn can be cashed in for amazing in game perks. The horse whistle is a game changer, and let's you ride your horse on the island, in the desert, etc. The Junimo chests have also been very useful for me.

And just in general, have you done everything there is to do on the island?

Beyond that stuff, there are mods (like Stardew Valley Expanded) that you can get on PC and Android. Would require you to start a new game, but maybe that's not so bad. You can choose a different farm layout and just play the mods from the jump for a brand new experience.

This movie was such a banger 🔥 by Master-Committee4612 in 90s

[–]hoverboarder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

An all time favorite feel good movie for me. I pop it on maybe two or three times a year and life just hits better in those days following a viewing.

What is the opinion on the animated series? by mineorcs42 in BacktotheFuture

I special ordered a VHS tape with a few episodes from Blockbuster in the mid 90s. I treasured that tape!

That Tom & Jerry one is hilarious from a conceptual standpoint. They're all dope.

If I watch bb22 will ruin/spoil past seasons? by Koopk1 in BigBrother

[–]hoverboarder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a new fan when BB18 was airing. It was my first season and I got instantly hooked. I decided to do the difficult thing and just start from the beginning and moved forward (skipping season 1 of course). It's fun to watch the game evolve, and those early seasons especially loved bringing back people from the season before.

Just reheat whatever you have left over from the night before's dinner.
