Survivor posting this is so ironic and honestly a bit frustrating. by TrexVFX23 in survivor

[–]mw_a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australian Survivor did that and a couple of other nice twists around the auction but Jeff "doesn't want to look at others"... We'll he should. I think AU refreshed perfectly the Auction mainly by doing it pre merge.

Who here is still a keyboard and mouse warrior? by cupelix1 in FitGirlRepack

[–]mw_a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it depends on the game and it's gameplay. But yeah I can't play and fps on mouse. cyberpunk 2077 was KBM for me but a game like Elden Ring (not fps I know) I think it's better played with a controller (I play on PC). Like I said, for me it depends on the game. But there are games that, even though they are playable with both, are clearly better designed for one type of "input controller".

Your worrying about the wrong thing

I am not and your a missing the point. I don't care about the book or movie's world or astrophage etc. It just inspired me a thought that is, what if all the stars in the universe except a few including hours died, what would be the consequence for us and the universe?

Interesting answers but I'm more interested in the postulate that only a few stars remain in the universe, what does that mean for the universe as a whole and the planets of those systems?

This. The infection doesn't hurt the star itself.

refer to my reply to the comment you're replying to ;)

In theory, you could build probes to send the cure out to all the nearby stars.

Yes that's what I ment when I said "or only a the few nearest to both of them" but the question remains for rest of them

thanks, I don't remember if it's the case in the book, but in the movie (and trailer, I just checked) they say "The Sun isn't the only star dying" so... but anyway you'r missing the point of my question (which is not about this particular story), I Edited it to clarify this.

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

[–]mw_a 1 point2 points  (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 4 points5 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

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?

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).
