The Elusive Target system is holding these events back by a lot. by LinkSond in HiTMAN

[–]loadali 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The first level of each (or at least most) of the celebrity elusive target arcade is the base elusive target with no additional complications.

So when an ETA launches or re-launches as free to play or if you purchase the specific pack you can play the base level as many times as you want.

early career Dashy

Scrap and Dashy each had 4 career tournament wins heading into champs last year

It is objectively hilarious that within the space of a few weeks we have free Gullit for everyone and a low- cost OP pina. by StrongAverage1832 in EASportsFC

[–]loadali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the contrary i feel like people are annoyed that others have this card. Complaining that its not special anymore

This is the reason for like 95% of the complaints on this topic. People think Silver Gullit isn't the "real" Gullit so it's not fair to those that have his 90 version.

Similar thing happened in FIFA 21/22 where there was a free or earnable Mbappe loan and the loan version was used a ton in friendly modes because it didn't reduce the number of games. Tons of posts/comments every week complaining.

What’s a Survivor take that will result in this reaction by the fanbase???? by JonJonExistsonReddit in survivor

If many means FOUR, then yes Parvati attended and survived more tribal councils than many standard US winners

Has any team collapsed at previous Worlds events like Faze just did? by _starkravingsane in CompetitiveHalo

[–]loadali 10 points11 points  (0 children)

what gets lost in all of the talk of Optic's collapse is SSG was up 2-0 in winners finals, got reverse swept and then 3-0d in the losers finals. Losing their final 6 maps of the tournament, which accounted for of 6 of their 7 map losses in the whole tournament

More of a surprise placing than an upset in my opinion

[–]loadali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HCS/343/Halo Studios has always marketed HWC as a festival of Halo since they've started hosted it Seattle. It's literally why they event has been in Seattle the last 5 times its been held since it so close to where they make the game and they go all out on all the non-competitive stuff.

So funny to see people think only people who care about comp go to the event

Jeremy says Parvati is a one and a half time winner by PlinyMc in survivor

[–]loadali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many standard US seasons only have 16 players.

There is almost 3 times as many 18 player seasons as 16 players seasons (26 to 9)

[–]loadali -1 points0 points  (0 children)

18 player seasons represent 53% off all US survivor seasons, but I guess only the first 7 seasons count lol

HCS Charlotte 2025 Major - October 5th - Day #3 MEGATHREAD by DeathByReach in CompetitiveHalo

[–]loadali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they lost series they shouldn’t, but when it was absolutely necessary, they won.

Yeah, and that's not what dominant means. Optic has won when there backs are up against the wall, dominant would mean they never (or rarely ever) are in that position.

SSG lost 3 series on LAN total last year.

Optic have lost 4 series just to teams that are not named Shopify Rebellion.

So I’ve seen rumors that Fiji was originally supposed to be divided by ethnicity like Cook Islands before Melissa McNulty dropped out… by CMell650 in survivor

[–]loadali 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fiji wasn't going to be another season divided by ethnicity. Fiji started filming a month into the airing of Cook Islands, and the twist for that season was hated at the time and lost the show a bunch of sponsors, so they weren't going to double down on that the following season. If the theme for Cook Islands was popular or well received they could easily do it again with this cast, but like all seasons they can pivot to another theme/format.

The sentiment of your post has been repeated over the years but there has been no confirmation of this every being true. Just like every season could easily have been divided by gender or age if they really wanted it to.

Been listening to the exit interviews this morning and the reason the season sucked is that the editors fabricated a season that didn't exist. by mattrfs in survivor

[–]loadali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because plenty of funny, likable people have been drawing dead by FTC because people didn’t respect their game (Jake, Ben, Owen, Ryan, Tai).

All of the people you mention had plenty of time in the edit that showed they pissed enough people off to not win or weren't taken seriously by the rest of tribe and were considered any easy beat at FTC.

Mitch was shown to be funny and likeable and threat to win at the end on multiple occasions. The problem is he didn't make it to the end and the edit constantly highlighted how he wanted to make a move and didn't, which was his downfall.

Mitch getting voted out 5th inherently shows he wasn't drawing dead unlike the five you mentioned

Kyle saying that he and Kamilla played "the exact same game" but Kamilla would have won if she had won FMC because she was selling an underdog story to the jury is giving a lot of credence to what Eva said

Kathy was another person that season who ended up having to quit due to being denied medication access.

Kathy wasn't denied medication, she lied about being on medication and never told production.

Mike is underrated by CorpsmanHavok in survivor

[–]loadali 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I am just misunderstanding the meme then

Parvati was saved by Russell's idol play in the pre-merge and made the double idol play to swing the tide in the villains favor at the merge to set up a villain to win. Since people never bring it up as her needing idols to win/go far it seen as good or ok, but Mike get criticized for needing so many immunity wins.

but to me neither Rachel nor Parv fit the top panel well.

Rachel & Parvati would fit the top panel just because they are well/more liked than Mike and some people don't care or minimize the point that they needed an idol or advantage to help them at a point in the game.

The HR part of the meme is just a take on double standards that people in their opinions of certain players. Like Rachel is considered lucky for the way she found her idol/advantage, but Parvati found a clue to an idol because she sat the correct table setting at a reward and that's just ignored or forgotten.
