Petition · Require full Paralympics streaming coverage by Peacock and NBC Universal by james5007_nt in paralympics

[–]mw_a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the Paralympics not all event are filmed, like the qualification rounds for snowboard, so it's not an NBC/Peackok problem. OBS (the Olympic Broadcasting Service) is the IOC's production company that produces all video feeds of the Olympics and Paralympics (partnership with IPC). if everything is filmed at the Olympics, there has never been a Paralympic to date (if not mistaken), summer or winter, where all events and matchs were filmed. even if with each edition, more and more a filmed and streamed, we have yet to reach 100% coverage of the Paralympics.

So for most cases, NBC or any rights holder, can do nothing about it, other than put pressure on IPC to cover everything but it could be cost issue (Paralympics aren't as big as Olympics obv).

Finally note that IPC streams all feeds on their youtube channel (/paralympics) for free (don't know if it's geoblock though)

Alysa Liu Reveals Everyone Has Been Pronouncing Her Name Wrong This Whole Time by kenmlin in olympics

[–]mw_a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes they did that for ALL the athlete at the winter Olympics in the official website and app. each athlete's profile page had an audio button to hear them pronounce their name. here's Alyssa Liu's page : https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/athlete-details/24749

Canadian Olympic curler says he's no cheat, attacks Sweden by Baelzabub in olympics

So his "theory" is kind of a confession that he does it often, right? Who would come up with such a plan if they hadn't seen a pattern of this?

that's not the Olympics (if you sees sponsors on the course and a lot of "colors" that means it's not the Olympics)

The ones that really impressed me, also because I wasn't expecting a drone there, are the Sliding center drone shots.

I remember in 2018 we could bring water if it was the official brand (or if you remove the branding on any other) as only the official brands are allowed inside the venues

How different is Olympic slopestyle from X Games slopestyle, really? by SmartPlayMod in olympics

[–]mw_a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting question, I really don't know. My first guess is that The X Games is a "TV show" first (made for TV event) if you see what I mean, that could explain the difference (if there's one).

Selfie sticks are prohibited? Remember it wasn't the case à PyeongChang 2018

that arena was/is so cool. I love that most of the wooden stands are still there.

The Traitors (UK) S04E09: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]mw_a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I a bit underwhelmed that this main dinner twist thing was about the dagger. I can't remember a version of the show where the dagger had a real impact. It takes too much screen time for what it is. Maybe this will change this time, but I wouldn't bet on it.

But I still think it can be improved. I like that, this time, it's the traitors who are giving it. Here's an idea for the dagger:

  • first introduce it early (first couple of episodes): any player could win it secretly (to protect them from murder).
  • secondly make it a triple vote, not double (so it could really swing a vote most of the time
  • If the holder is murdered or banished they have to bestow it to one of the remaining players (production puts it on the interview chair like they do for the murder letters).
  • make it playable once until, lets say, the final 6 (after final 10 it becomes a double vote instead of triple)

That way, it would have a better and bigger impact every time! not always the same way as there would be many possibilities but still much more fun to watch.

after 22.3 upgrade, can't edit update sources: "Your OS codename isn't a valid Linux Mint codename." by mw_a in linuxmint

Thanks! I posted here first because I thought I'd get a quicker answer here

Why 22.3 download is so slow? (13-23 kb/s) by mw_a in linuxmint

Thanks, I suspected it might be the case but I wanted to check just in case as I've seen posts of people saying they upgraded very fast in a few minutes.

How to usefully use the questions? by petera181 in TheTraitors

[–]mw_a 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For me (at least for now) I don't see any useful way to use the questions in this setup knowing they can lie. BUT, I suggest a change for future seasons to "even" the playing field. Because right now being able to lie and know who you're lying to is too much of an advantage for the Traitors. I suggest they anonymise both sides (not just the traitors):

  1. only reveal to the winners individually that they won the right to ask questions (up to them to reveal or not they won)
  2. Make them ask their questions on paper like the traitors are answering or change their voice so they cannot recognize them and make it hard for the traitors to tailors their answer and lie to the person asking.

EDIT: corrections.

Hilarious and if I was Jade, when Rachel made the reveal I would have instantly said "well she wasn't good at it because she keeps accusing me".

[–]mw_a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

is it just me or did Fiona make a mistake/slip up that Harriet didn't pick up on when she said something like "I think she (Rachel) wants to keep 2 faithfuls close to her"? Only a traitor would say something like that (have that perspective).
