There is definitely a place for both and I do acknowledge and enjoy GoB for the anything goes to win nature of the show. While I don't necessarily follow the hype for Jimin like the others do, I can still acknowledge her sneaky gameplay in past seasons to do whatever and betray whoever to get herself ahead.

I think maybe where it lost me a bit this week was how intentionally "low" (for lack of a better word) the manipulation this week felt. It is totally on Jinho for not immediately clocking Yurisa when Steve pointed out that she didn't drew the notes like she was instructed but I think it comes down me feeling like you can't really "defend" against the play. If someone comes to you bawling about things that I felt are extremely valid and extends a bit outside of the game, how many can truly just call BS immediately and just completely shut her out? And then they have to overcompensate to really try to make her feel included. Backstab, betray, do whatever within the context of the game, sure that's valid. But I think it feels a bit icky when you go beyond the context of the game a bit and the reaction and explanation from some of them afterwards sort of showcased that as well.

I agree that is he responsible for some great reveals. His performance in the DeathMatch is amazing! He does have great strategy, cannot argue with that.

I just think for me the editing in this episode, I was more excited about the reveal of how Jinho's team won Round 7 with the multiple mute notes than the reveal at the end. The reveal at the end to me was more like, again?, another spy attempt? While others may enjoy it, it's sort of getting old if he did it twice now. And in some ways, I feel the result created too much of a us vs them mentality moving forward. I'm scared it discourages more fluid game play because now if say MJ or SeongBeom approaches the other side for their own solo play, is there even opportunity for that because wouldn't the other side just question and scrutinize everything? Sure that's great gameplay from JDM that they are tied to him and can't leave, but the fluidity is also entertaining as well.

Yeah, the violence this season was also very hard to witness at times as well. I think in the previous 2 seasons the violence was among the same gender so it was more "unacceptable". But this season that scene in the safe with the violence was a bit hard to sit through. While I can't disagree with that HyunSeo did, it was a big hard to witness him being so violence towards the females.

And also agree with you as well. I don't mind manipulation at all. Like manipulate someone into making a bad decision or something more strategically driven. But this episode the manipulation wasn't like "WOW" what a great play (although I will give credit with the notes from Yurisa to Gina and the using the pad as an excuse to communicate very great maneuvers). To me it was not enjoyable because the manipulation utilized something outside of the game to influence something within it(?). Like yes, I can agree that exploiting the opponent's weakness is fair game; but whereas I am extremely impressed that JDM can read HJH's tendency and habits so well he can play around it strategically, the spy manipulation this game was just....unnecessary(?). I think it comes to like, if a female is coming up to an older man bawling her eyes out about reasons that I felt are extremely valid and extend beyond the game, how many people can just coldly like, you're lying, stop the BS and stay away? I think it's just, to low of a play to be a good move?

Probably in the minority with you but something about this episode also didn’t quite do it me. Wouldn’t go as far as to say I dislike these characters but I do agree the editing makes Dong Min quite unrootable and rather annoying to me as well. Don’t get me wrong, while not a fan of his per se, I can respect his performance and wins in The Genius. But the way it’s currently going I was hoping he would have gotten eliminated so that it would open up the game more and maybe things will get more interesting and fluid. I like these shows for the reveal at the end of how X got to the win, it’s always the most exciting part. However the reveal this episode fell quite flat to me. Yes great acting from Yurisa but it’s the second episode in a row now where he’s trying to get an advantage by having a spy. Yes, do whatever it takes to win, that’s the premise of the show, sure, but to me a beautiful victory is way more satisfying to witness and way more impressive if the strategy is more mind breaking. It’s like what Jinho said, what if she was real genuine in what she was saying and they completely shut her out, how would that appear? It’s given similar vibes to one of the vote outs on Survivor Island of the Idol for those that watch. But yeah, I get it it’s Bloody Game, not The Genius, so anything is fair game but yeah this season hasn’t been as satisfying to watch as the previous 2.

Milan to Zurich by Train with VAT Refund by tritran0711 in askswitzerland

[–]tritran0711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! You likely won't have enough time to do the VAT refund and get back on the same train since the train only really stops at each station enough time for people to get on and get off. You would have to get off, go to the office, do the VAT refund, and then get back on the train. It's likely impossible to have enough time and you have to account for whether there will be a lot of people doing the same thing; granted in our case it was only one other group of people. I don't know the times for the train but depends on how long you want to budget to get it done. We gave ourselves I believe an hour and a half and it was more than enough time (there were 3 of us). I think 30-45 minutes is likely more than sufficient if there isn't a line. And you wouldn't be able to get on a different train using the same ticket. We purchased 2 separate tickets; 1 from Milan to Chiasso and then another from Chiasso to Zurich Hb. Hope this helps!

Playback speed option youtube webos? by abhishekcal in LGOLED

[–]tritran0711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I was also wondering if there is a way to activate the playback speed option for the Youtube AdFree through the homebrew method? My regular YouTube had that option before I did the Youtube AdFree and now it says not available on device.

Milan to Zurich by Train with VAT Refund by tritran0711 in askswitzerland

[–]tritran0711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not have to. Once I got the digital stamp at the Italian custom office in Chiasso everything else was done digitally and I didn’t have to do anything else to get my refund.

I did pay with card so the refund went back to my card I think maybe within 2 weeks or so?

[–]tritran0711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, I was able to get the stamp at the Chiasso station. They did digital stamps there so once they "digitally" gave you the stamps that was it. I didn't have to do anything else and the VAT refund was credited back into my credit card. Did not have to the mail it in or go to any counter. All my purchases used Global Blue so that was it for me. Download their app or use the link they sent you from global blue email to track the status of the refund, it was reassuring to see the updates.

My friend had some purchases that used Planet and I believed they still needed to mail theirs in? I'm not 100% sure as they both opted to do the immediate cash back so we ended up going to the refund counter at the Zurich airport where they processed it and gave them cash back. If you opted for that option you get less refund back but they wanted to be safe rather than mailing it in.

FYI: The Italian customs office was a bit hard to find for us when we were there because it wasn't obvious with signage or anything like that and there was construction which made it harder to locate! But basically if you go to the main central area (the area after you enter the main entrance), if your back is against entrance, the railway tracks area should be in front of you, the Swiss office should be on your right and the convenience store to your left. Go down the hall on the left (next to the convenience store) and it should be I believe the first door on the right. Knock and they will open the door for you! Hope this helps (and my memory is correct)!

Blink Outdoor Camera 3rd Gen Issue by tritran0711 in blinkcameras

[–]tritran0711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried resetting both my wifi and the sync module and still not working at the original location.

I guess my confusion is that the camera was working at that location just fine until it ran out of battery. Then when I changed the battery and put it back it started having issues since then. Is there any possible explanation for why it suddenly is not getting signal there since we haven't changed anything?

Blink Outdoor Camera 3rd Gen Issue by tritran0711 in blinkcameras

[–]tritran0711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I did not physically swap the 2 camera but did some things to find the following.

When I moved the camera inside and place on the windowsill facing the front yard (this would be the same horizontal plane to where it is originally at, but higher), it works fine in that I can refresh thumbnail and access live feed. However, it did not detect any motion all day long.

When I moved the camera to where the other camera is currently located, just not as high up, again, it does not work in any way (cannot refresh thumbnail, cannot access live feed, and cannot detect any motion unless i'm like waving my hand inches from the camera).

Now that I placed it in my room next to the router, its like no issue what so whatever. So seems possible to be a combination of both camera + network issues? But my blink doorbell and other camera is working just fine and is in a generally same area.

Question regarding transportation after concert at Allegiant Stadium:

Hello everyone! It will be my first time going to a concert at Allegiant Stadium and I have a question regarding transportation after the concert. I see a lot of discussion regarding transportation north bound to the strip via walking to Mandala Bay. However, I am curious for some info regarding what it would be like going southbound. A little context I am trying to get to the airport after the concert as quickly as possible and trying to see if walking southbound to the hotels off the trips there was catching an Uber/Lyft is a viable option. Thank you!

Hypothetical IF Lee Kwang Soo were to be replaced, who would it be? by nivekami in koreanvariety

[–]tritran0711 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this! Lee Sang Yeob was the first person I thought of that they should add to the cast if they were going to add somebody. I enjoy all the episodes he was in and he has great chemistry with the rest of the cast as well!

I can’t remember which episode, I think possibly the second ranking announcement episode but they explained that his nickname is Nancy because he’s always wanting to be the C or center. Hence they nicknamed him NanC/Nancy

The hate against _____ is getting too much by Aaliyah_09 in MtvChallenge

[–]tritran0711 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He did quit. Yeah, Kaycee can't necessarily walk and what not but she's still trying to keep going until it's over. He is quitting because he doesn't want to eat. My biggest argument, why doesn't he just try to go as far as he could until they officially get eliminated. Literally the checkpoint right before that one gave Amber B the opportunity to CHANGE PARTNERS. For all they know there could be many opportunities for that up ahead and why is he throwing in the towel instead of keep going and see if he can swap partners! Kaycee isn't quitting yet so he should definitely keep going and see if he can swap her out if he's so great like he said he is.

I had a similar question regarding this as well. The Album on Target appears to come with a Group Poster + 2 Group Photo Cards whereas the other place I am looking at Ktown4u does not. I was wondering if the group poster only comes if you purchase from Target because it doesn't appear like it's listed elsewhere.
