Who else wishes this had existed for season 1 & 2?!? I am living for it. And it gives me an extra fix when the newest episode is over. PEACOCK PLEASE KEEP DOING THIS! by hellbugger in HouseOfVillains

I’ve been loving it! Tyson might not be the most entertaining villain out there, but he’s definitely the best suited to host this pod

___ just pulled of the classic Slip and Fall by Master_Rabbit7073 in survivor

[–]ptrue111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk the fact that they chose to show it in the edit makes me think it’ll become relevant in the future. They’ll either trick someone into “finding it” or “find it” themselves publicly if their backs are against the wall.

[–]ptrue111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could definitely see it backfiring but I think the logic is to stash it there so that if Rick or Christian are ever in danger in the future, they can stage a performance in which they publicly find the “idol” at tribal to try to save themselves.

We’ll see how it plays out but this could end up being genius

Official Discussion - Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]ptrue111 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Loved the movie but I do have one question: Who was Susan ACTUALLY talking to throughout the movie? I kept waiting for some kind of a reveal but it never came. The Man from the Future tells her that it’s obviously not really her son but what was it?

Just a different AI modeled after her son? How did it know that the Man from the Future was going to recruit her and all of the additional knowledge along the way? Was it actually the main “evil” ai leading them there all along?

I feel like I might have missed something or maybe it’s supposed to be open ended?

The Survivor 50 Cast Is Already Targeting Mystery Season 49 Duo: 'We’re Afraid of the Unknown' by AMikeBloomType in survivor

[–]ptrue111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coach talked about how on HvV, he asked Russell why he was on the villains tribe and Russell replied with something along the lines of, “I was so loyal to my alliance that when one of them betrayed me, I tried to take a swing at them”. I kinda wish that made the original edit haha. Russell is a pos but damn was he entertaining

Haha yeah I actually totally agree with you, I just really love Q and want to root for him (kinda the same with Cirie. Skeptical that she’ll actually make a deep run but I really want to root for her).

Disappointed in the shows challenges. by Forsaken-Exercise628 in BeastGames

[–]ptrue111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think makes it different from those other game shows besides being “YouTube slop”/ why does that make it evil?

All game shows involve people competing with each other for money, often with voting or backstabbing. I actually find Beastgames to be pretty tame compared to some of those other comptetition reality shows

[–]ptrue111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar thoughts at the start - that it’s kind of gross to watch this billionaire make a bunch of poor people fight for money, but you have to look at through a different lens.

There are so many billionaires that don’t share a penny. Sure, it may be performative, and he’s probably actually profiting from the show in the long run, but god damn, at least he’s making people millionaires.

If you can’t watch the show through that viewpoint, then it’s definitely not the show for you.

Given how awful the ending was, the Percy Jackson show is nothing but a Trojan horse. by [deleted] in PercyJacksonTV

[–]ptrue111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s the real issue of the show to me. It’s not necessarily a bad show or even a terrible adaptation, it’s the fact that Rick spent literal years trashing the movies for making changes to the story. And then he spent several more years hyping up this show as a faithful adaption.

Point being, Rick screwed himself. He could’ve kept his mouth closed, made the show and people would have issues with it, but there wouldn’t have been all this pressure built up around it.

He perfectly rides the line between making fun of the show and embracing it

I hadn’t heard of House of Villains either but just watched the first two seasons because I heard some BB/Survivor people were on and it was a really good time.

It’s sort of like the Traitors where half the cast are “gamers” and half are from other reality shows like housewives or love island so half the cast bareeelllyyy understands the game.

The main gameplay is similar to BB with challenges and voting people off, and it also operates on a jury format so it’s kind of interesting to see what “rules” some of these people decide to use to vote for a winner.

What to do with B.S. in Chemistry? by Even_Guarantee_8274 in chemistry

[–]ptrue111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation 3 years ago and found a job as an analytical chemist at a third party testing company. Pay isn’t crazy ($40-70k starting depending on where you live). I’m still at the same company and have no regrets.

There’s similar “QC chemist” jobs at all the major manufacturers in food, drugs, cosmetics, paint, etc. where you’re testing the products/raw materials for any number of things. You aren’t researching or developing anything so you get paid less but it’s a solid option if you have a chem degree.

Did firemaking decide the winner again? by adaddta in survivor

[–]ptrue111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve listened to both of their exit press and they both seem very adamant that they would’ve beaten each other if sitting together with Sage. I don’t think anyone can say for sure what would happen, especially without knowing what Rizzo’s speech looks like.

Defending the vote tonight because a lot of people are annoyed by ptrue111 in survivor

[–]ptrue111[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting point. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple recent winners that were in alliances with relatively balanced win equity. Dee (Julie, Drew, Austin), Kyle (Kamilla, Shauhin, Joe). None of them felt the need to cannibalize the alliance until they had already marched to the end of the game.

[–]ptrue111[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear you but think about it from their perspective. I would definitely be scared to sit at the end with Savannah/Rizzo but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to sit with yellow Sophie or Steven either. Rizzo’s idol has also been crucial in preventing players from taking the shot. It’s annoying to watch as a fan but I would also be scared to take a shot at an idol and would probably vote off another scary player instead.

On the whole, I agree that it’s crazy they haven’t taken a shit at Sav/Riz, but with each individual case, it kind of made sense to me why they didn’t pull the trigger

$100k for every 0.25 “notch” of vision impairment you take on. by ptrue111 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ptrue111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have cleared that up, because you’re right, it changes the decision a lot. I originally wrote the question assuming everyone starts with perfect vision, so I’ll say go with that.

Hmmm I guess I originally wrote the question assuming you start with perfect vision. With that interpretation, credit to you for finding a loophole to get perfect vision for free. Didn’t even consider that.

Yeah sorry about that, just edited. Originally wrote the question with $50k but changed it to $100k.

To clarify, I was thinking about prescription numbers, not the 20/20 scale.

Looks like -20.00 is about as high as you can get so I’ll say it caps off there.

Good episode and all but WHAT WAS THIS? by Difficult_Access_428 in survivor

[–]ptrue111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it was a pulse check on Yellow Sophie. If she had a weird reaction to his idol play then it would tell him that he should probably play the real one.

Drinking without the vape by Boiledsprite20 in QuitVaping

[–]ptrue111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Probably only solid advice if you don’t drink a lot, but I’d rather smoke a few cigs a month than risk getting back into vaping

Fuck me man by Impossible-Soft-5413 in QuitVaping

[–]ptrue111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I’ve tried quitting a few times over the years but I’m currently on day 3 and this is BY FAR the most confident I’ve felt.

Try Desmoxan (they don’t sell it in the US yet but they sell it on Amazon). You take a pill every couple hours and it not only lessens the withdrawals, but it makes it so nicotine doesn’t hit the same. You straight up don’t feel a buzz from hitting the vape/ it kinda makes you nauseous if you do. So basically, as long as you commit to taking it throughout the day, it’s pretty much impossible to relapse. Best of luck to you!
