    - It's like, we saw you and knew she was beside you. There wasn't a clear shot of her at any point, though. - David Nov 21, 10:04 1
      - I think so....I didn't pay attention to the kid. -- nm - Remlik Nov 21, 10:36

In case you still aren't sure - Survivor gained almost 10% viewership from last week to this. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 09:33 15
- I'm not surprised because people were talking about Survivor. But that's still less than two episodes ago. - David Nov 21, 09:38 14
  - here's the thing though - they have all winners for 40 - so ratings will probably be the highest they've been in years. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 09:39 13
    - Ratings will actually disappoint because all ratings are terrible now. And everyone knows that the show needs dramatic changes made. -- nm - David Nov 21, 09:47
    - many people suspect that rob's stint on IoI is an audition for him to be the new probst. dude is way too awkward; I wouldn't want his stilted, acty - amanda Nov 21, 09:44 11

        Oh God, I have something in common with Cesternino. -- nm - David Nov 21, 09:50 5
        
        LOL - He's not the same dude you remember from the Amazon. He's become a pretty solid broadcaster. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 09:53 4
        
        oddly, my favorite RHAP pods are RAANAP and the B&B. I'm pretty over the everyday survivor coverage. -- nm - amanda Nov 21, 09:58 3
        
        I'm all about RAANAP right now. Between that and Wigler's L O S T rewatch - those are my 2 biggies every week. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 09:59 2
        
        RAANAP is so win. I tried to explain to someone what it was and they just blanched and tuned out. have you ever submitted anything? - amanda Nov 21, 10:05 1
        
        I tried to explain it to Carrie. Yeah, didn't take. The only thing I submitted was Cool as Ice for the crappy movie diaper. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 10:17

- Fire Emblem, journals, Sanrio, Animal Crossing. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 21, 09:39
- outdoor gardening/wooden kitchen utensils/scarves (the accessory kind, not the wooly outdoor kind)/beeswax candles/tiny handmade wall art. -- nm - Andie Nov 21, 09:33
- How to Train Your Dragon Night Lights. -- nm - David Nov 21, 09:31
Yasmani Grandal and the White Sox have agreedn to a 4yr - 73mil deal. -- (link) - Will Hunting Nov 21, 09:18 4

- That's a good move. -- nm - David Nov 21, 09:31 2

“Republicans are in denial about the facts. If they don’t want to honor their oath of office, I don’t think we should be characterized as partisan.” -- nm - znufrii, human scum Nov 21, 09:07 5
- This is the same issue as the "media bias". When you have someone as corrupt as this, being honest means being one-sided right now. -- nm - pmb Nov 21, 09:15 2
  - Also similar to the supposed “tolerance paradox” in some respects, and imo, just as easily resolved. -- (edited) - znufrii, human scum Nov 21, 09:30
  - Yup. All my subscriptions are cancelled -- nm - JackDawson Nov 21, 09:20
- When will the media learn? -- nm - JackDawson Nov 21, 09:14 1

  - Also, fwiw, both of you guys should complain to Google in some format to see if you can get some type of compensation. - Shaun Nov 21, 09:22 1
    - *shrug* I don't remember seeing anything about that. I'm good. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:38
- dammit -- nm - whatmary2 Nov 21, 09:13
- Okay, time to admit me ignorance. What hardware does Stadia actually have? -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 09:08 6
  - What's in the box: wireless controller, Chromecast Ultra, and charge/electrical cords. That's it. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:44
  - a controller -- nm - decline Nov 21, 09:09 4
    - For TV playing, you also need a Chromecast Ultra. But for phone/Chrome playing, all you need is a compatible controller. -- nm - Shaun Nov 21, 09:10
    - Bluetooth? -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 09:10 2
      - The Stadia controller is wifi, iirc. -- nm - Shaun Nov 21, 09:10 1
        
        correct -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:12
- never would have guessed -- nm - decline Nov 21, 09:07

- did you see my Stadia report on B2? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:02 10
  - I did. I'm glad it seems to work well. But the use case, for me especially, just isn't there. - Shaun Nov 21, 09:04 9
    - My problem is I'm a causal gamer, so I don't have a lot of time. - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:12 8
      - Thanks. I'm just trying to understand the "Why?" of it. -- nm* - Spawn Nov 21, 09:13 7
        
        That's the biggest question right now. Who does this really appeal to? - Shaun Nov 21, 09:16 4
        
        When I spawned at the tower, there were quite a few players there. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:17 3
        
        I saw a screenshot yesterday of a guy launching into an empty tower. I can't in any way figure out why they rolled this out as they did. - Shaun Nov 21, 09:20 2
        
        If there's a campaign, that's where I'd be playing. - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:22 1
        
        There is a campaign and a lot of stuff you can do solo. iirc, you need to talk to Eris on the Moon to kick it off. -- nm - Shaun Nov 21, 09:23
        
        No hardware to upgrade to would be the main selling point. - JaxSean Nov 21, 09:16
        
        Like a lot of things Google it's a lot of 'Because we can' -- nm - decline Nov 21, 09:15

        I did - it's really good. And really a shit ton more than I would have given it. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 09:38 5
        
        I wonder how much they're re-editing episodes on the fly. -- nm - David Nov 21, 09:49 4
        
        Did you watch last night? They can't possibly be editing on the fly. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 09:57 3
        
        Oh yeah, I had the recap done by 9:15. - David Nov 21, 10:01 2
        
        True story. The best thing I ever did was finally starting to yadda, yadda through the challenges like you and Kim do. nm - Alex Wilder Nov 21, 10:04 1
        
        Kim's better about being brief than I am (big surprise), but yeah. - David Nov 21, 10:07
