#Final Jeopardy

Hey, Look! (Jeopardy! Edition)

[good-in-space]

I always feel superior when I know the correct response to Final Jeopardy and none of the contestants on the show get it right. Today was an example of such superiority. I am certain I was flop miserably if I ever got the chance to be on the show, but I’m quite good playing from the safety of my own home.

most disappointing score change of my life. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE COULD’VE HAD A CANADIAN VICTOR

The "i don't want to kill Edelgard" dialogue the game forces you to pick for Byleth in Verdant Wind is still one the funniest things in the game when you think about what that means in-universe; Byleth has had no issues killing people to get what they want all route-long, but the second Claude brings up killing the girl who started the war and is most at fault for everyone that died because of it, including her own soldiers, they say they don't want to, presumably just because they had such a deep bond with her during their time at Garreg Mach (even though it's perfectly possible to have Byleth spend all their time there never interacting with Edelgard once).

It's shit like that that makes me understand where the same-crest attraction people come from; that forced dialogue choice is at least understandable in Silver Snow, where Byleth is forced to teach Edelgard for a while and would have logicaly formed a bond with her because of that, but the only way that line makes any sense in VW is to assume that their crests made them feel a deeply-heightened and accelerated sense of attraction to each other, to the point that the few short and irrelevant interactions they had in their short time together at GM was enough for them to form a deep bond.

Anon,

If same crust attraction was a thing, do you really thing Billy would angst about Supreme Leader in VW, when Nemesis himself pops up at the end of the route???

I mean, between Supreme Leader and Nemesis, who are you going to simp for if you never talked to any of them, and both are leading a faction to destroy you and your allies?

Supreme Leader, or Nemesis??

All jokes aside,

There's, sadly, no Watsonian explanation for the very Doylist "but she lufs u!!! feel sad about her!!!" approach the devs wanted to hamfist in their game : Billy will feel bad for killing Supreme Leader, even if it doesn't make any sense for them to do so because that is why the devs designed FE16 to be : a story where the player will feel bad about killing the red emperor.

(or at least the player avatar, because damn if this completely missed the mark regarding some players lol)

Just like you feel super BaD for icing Randolph and Ferdie who still works with the Empire, fighting side by side with a Demonic Beast - when the game doesn't expect you to feel a thing when you kill the poor sod who was turned into a monster because the Imperial Army needs War Assets.

that's why some people really felt a bit disturbed by all this Supreme Pandering coming out of nowhere - same with Rhea in VW since her supports are optional, so if Billy is really a player avatar, why should they care about Rhea?

(granted, I'd say even if you only do the strict minimum, Billy still wants to help Rhea in the cinematic before falling in a ravine, so at least there's this sign that Billy cares about her - sure, Billy protected and saved Supreme Leader against Kostas, but after the Flamey reveal, we don't have anything to even remotely indicate Billy still cares specially about Supreme Leader : Billy's avatar status is the reason why they're written to care about Supreme Leader, and yet, Billy's character status explain why they care about Rhea - again, another example of the devs wanting to have their cake and eat it too!)

I always feel so giddy when jeopardy is on at work and I get the final jeopardy right in front of customers.

tonight’s clue was “this style of journalism’s name could be traced back to cajun slang for unruly jazz, or old bostonian slang for intoxication”

guess who was right in saying “what is gonzo. come on.”

also nuts how 1/3 of the contestants got that. they can name obscure breeds of sheep but they can’t guess a relatively easy question. the questions and casting have really gotten weird in the Jennings era.

I've been meaning to do it since I was in middle school, but I really need to try out for Jeopardy! some time.

My main problem would be locking myself out on the trigger, I think.

i love watching jeopardy reruns

[tskumoyuuma]

i can tell my coworkers r worried about me, one because they keep making sure iv had the little snacks that r available to all the teachers, and two because one of them literally asked if i was ok cause i seemed a little down. n the thing is im fine !! literally. but iv been doing a lot of deskwarming recently as the school years ending and when i deskwarm my brain turns to mush. so i dont react as quickly to people talking to me and it takes a moment for my voice to work again. but like i really am fine. nice to be worried about sometimes tho

[level99challenge]

It’s kinda super sad Simon’s death goes unmentioned in pop culture.
