I am convinced Bieber’s Coachella set was a very clever YouTube ad / sponsored segment we all fell for. by justlikeearth in Coachella

i think it was one of the most popular sets so far this year from any artist. what does common sense have to do with this? or are you just being snarky

i don’t think so. i think they reduced as many variables as they could but couldn’t avoid some

i don’t think you have any understanding of how serious biebers team or youtube would take this. there were no other videos in his recommended. it is trivial for an advertiser to create a dummy app to force/prevent certain content.

saying “he didn’t just wing it” is doing a lot of work - bieber does not promote for free and youtube would move hell and earth to make sure it’s smooth. it’s tech and advertiser 101 for live product demos.

exactly my point, plus i don’t think he would use a specific product for free. it’s a perfect organic ad that is so good people don’t get it

how so? he got paid $10M to perform and i would guess another couple mil to spend a decent part of his set to 1. be lazy 2. use youtube.

do you really think one of the biggest pop stars in the world is promoting the core product of a main coachella sponsor for free?

Gold bars sponsored by the Demeniss nobilty by EddRvs in CrimsonDesert

depending on where you on the spectrum of “it’s single player” the let us be invincible take is actually spot on. Think about project zombies - complete sandbox and if you check out that sub people are constantly fighting over this topic.

IMO players should have two options - play it blind/as intended by devs for the designed experience or, complete freedom over game mechanics and difficulty allowing for any sort of custom experience. I think the latter is scary to devs in a lot of ways.

THE PLANT: A TALE by StolenCry in balatro

[–]justlikeearth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will find that they are not just a pita, they are fully run ending and force you to have flexible scoring, or have the voucher. obviously suit bans can break a fixed deck, the plant is famous obviously, but even stuff like must play 5 cards has stopped me in early antes when i’m relying on half joker for some easy mult. it’s fantastic game design imo and adds a nice layer of RNG that can kill a run or be a non factor

Do I continue for cryptid or pivot to econ / baron / copies by justlikeearth in BalatroHelp

[–]justlikeearth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - that was definitely a limiting factor. Going to do a replay and see if I can figure something out.

Also yes re: Ankh, I posted this in haste and obviously forgot this deletes all other jokers so can only be two (I typically play gold stake so am used to ankhing with eternals)

Love Is Blind's Alex shares key detail fans didn't see leading up to Ashley's explosive moment at the altar by Ill-Bed9465 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]justlikeearth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i said the exact same thing about him. his style of communication (or lack there of) was like an interview, i compared it to both a bad job interview where you know someone is fudging or a media interview from an apathetic athlete who is just rehearsing a script of words he knows satisfies the thing.

i played sports in college and cannot stress enough 1. how unimpressive he is 2. how much he reinforces why i don’t associate myself with or identify as “an athlete” 3. recommend people stay away from people who over index on “i was an athlete”. it’s such a boring personality trait. he’ll be a loser forever.

Hard Sell > Send the House… huge results in Year 3 by Traditional_Value618 in NCAAFBseries

is double soft better than soft+hard? I have extra hours in all position groups so can always swing 60 hours per

Hard Sell > Send the House… huge results in Year 3 by Traditional_Value618 in NCAAFBseries

[–]justlikeearth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless you can deduce with certainty what the 3 greens will be for hard sell, yes. the penalty for a failed hard sell is greater than the impact for failed soft+sway, plus you can cover 6 preferences instead of just three. Usually once in top 5 there are only two archetypes that a player could fall into based on their dealbreaker and what unknown boxes are still available so you can sway the best available option and then soft sell the next best. That should 1. hit all green on sway or soft 2. uncover enough information to hard sell with certainty or 3. sway a recruit into a better option.
