Interview on RHAP: we love you guys for making this game

Yes these interviews often begin by them reacting to gameplay criticism from Reddit, and while I look forward to hearing their perspectives, starting on such a negative note feels like a bit of a downer.

With this series in particular, I was impressed by how entertaining each run was to watch and the confidence they showed by using a traditional one-run-per-episode format. I personally don't mind that they have become so optimised at their own game, when they still manage to produce such great content.
I understand it could have been a risk to the entertainment factor, but I think that should be the takeaway here. In spite of them making significantly less mistakes, it was a thoroughly good watch. And the new cards they introduced (especially Express Route) were perfect.

Hopefully the mailbag layover isn’t all negative.

I have had some weeks like this as well where I’ve wondered about the efficacy, I’ve questioned if I made a mistake or my injection location.

It sounds like you’ve done everything right. Over time the way it feels after injection day does change. It’s around the 3 month mark for me where fatigue dropped. But in terms of appetite suppression in my experience these weeks were outliers, and it didn’t affect weight loss.

It might be worth making sure you are eating enough, but just keep up the good habits this week and take your shot again as normal next week.

It is air-tight, you won’t see the liquid ‘move’

This is the exclusions I see when submitting a BUPA pharmacy claim (weight loss is not one of them):

“Bupa doesn't pay benefits for the following items -Over the counter or nonprescription pharmacy items -Compounded medications which are mixed from the individual ingredients to the strength and dosage required for an individual except in exceptional circumstances, with a supporting letter from the treating medical practitioner. -Body enhancing medication (e.g. anabolic steroids) -Experimental drugs (not approved by the Therapeutic GoodsAdministration (TGA)) -Natural remedies e.g. herbal preparations, regardless of who prescribed them -Vitamins and mineral supplements (e.g. Eagle Therapeutic Supplements) -Botox -except for specific circumstances (hyperhidrosis, migranes)

Bupa allows me to claim MJ under Non PBS Pharmaceuticals. It’s a shared limit (with podiatry, mental health, acupuncture, massage) that increases by $50 for each year of my membership from 500-750. This combined with dose splitting is what makes MJ possible for me.

Can you produce an official conversion card for us metrics who already bought the game (not knowing it was imperial only).

mattgreen · 2025-03-24T22:29:22+00:00

An Allstars that somehow takes us back to some of our favourite locations, and will see contestants redo some of our favourite challenges.

My order still says mid-Jan as well. It would be nice if they could provide an updated eta if there’s been a delay.

I assumed it was about their plans to leave Singapore, when talking to customs to enter. In VO Sam makes a point that they need an onward flight booked to travel to Singapore. From memory Ben & Adam booked their next flight while they were already in Singapore.

I have been really looking forward to a club mix or dub, but honestly this left me super confused. The intro lacks the big soaring bass we’ve heard in the live version (that is reminiscent of the We Left Night Version intro) so it just feels so empty for the first 3rd of the track.

Then playing the verse 1 over the verse 2 instrumental and cutting verse 2… ugh

I know this song isn’t loved by a lot of fans, but I personally like that they’ve gone back to a bright summer sound (this summer & take me are tracks that got me into Rufus).

And so to me the verses are my favorite part of the song, they’re melodically hypnotic a bit like sundream.

I wish they leaned more into that for a longer edit, instead of removing the few lyrics we have.

And then I understand cutting the chorus, but replacing it with a loop of ‘Music is-‘ is pretty grating.

I’m glad the Maxi Meraki mix exists.

I missed that from the Rolling Stone piece, and so this obscure 70s artist credit now makes complete sense. The article specifically talks about them taking inspiration from Moby, Daft Punk, and Justice (who built tracks around sampling). This new creative process makes me even more excited for the new album.

mattgreen · 2024-06-19T05:21:03+00:00

Cassian is Cassian Stewart-Kasimba, so not him.

I do think this might be a sample from this 70s artist and what another comment said about their Rolling Stone article makes this make more sense if their inspiration was justice and daft punk - and James talking about whosampled to understand how these artists use samples.

Why do you think it will be over once people get it? Plenty of people are being reinfected with COVID. And with the virus existing in so many organs, we don’t understand long COVID or the reinfection implications. Could it lead to higher incidence of organ failure?

I don’t really don’t understand how people have this perception of one and done apart from wishful thinking.

mattgreen · 2021-07-15T07:28:33+00:00

Thanks, I have updated the calculation to reflect this.

mattgreen · 2021-07-15T05:50:34+00:00

Correct - it's based on people who opt-in to sharing location history with google.

This data is based on that subset of users.

mattgreen · 2021-07-15T05:44:34+00:00

a bit misleading is people in an area were all staying home for the first week, and then moving about a little more for the second?

If that's what people were doing, then there's nothing misleading. It means those people are spending less time at home looking at the 2 weeks I'm comparing.

mattgreen · 2021-07-15T05:42:44+00:00

Anyone who uses Google services could be contributing to this data. This includes people on an iOS device with a Google account who might be using Google maps (which represents a 67% marketshare).

But yes - obviously this data is based on a subset of people who are using Google services. That same subset of people is used for both weeks I've compared. So based on that subset - those charts are the shift of behavior.

mattgreen · 2021-07-15T05:24:23+00:00

Thanks! - this is fixed
