I’ve been saying this for yearsssssss!!! I want to watch BOTH queens (or however many there are) through the whole song! Even if it’s not a great performance I wanna watch the whole thing instead of like 35 seconds of a 2 minute song. I begggggg!!!

petition for drag race US to start including split screens during lip-syncs, ESPECIALLY the lip-sync for the crown!!!!!

[Sam @sjfocer]

People just gonna complain about anything I guess (comments very negative).
Old Zelda with new graphics and maybe some new features? Yes yes yes! This wasn’t just a port. Very excited about this, whatever it ends up being! And so soon!

[Nintendo of America @NintendoAmerica]

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be reborn on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. #NintendoDirect

[Sam @sjfocer]

Hopefully it doesn’t take someone as long to build this mini set as it did for Spain to build the real thing.

(144 years, btw, and still not fully completed with “original” finishing)

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

LEGO just dropped its largest set ever: La Sagrada Familia.

It has 12,060 pieces and costs $800. The set comes 100 years after Antoni Gaudi’s death (June 10, 1926).

The details are insane including spires, carvings and interior with light shining through stain-glass windows.

@lizzo Lizz-Oh, She Betta Don’t Tour

[Sam @sjfocer]

@VocaISuspension I’m glad she hasn’t gone yet just because I don’t think it’s been the right time BUT she is a phenomenal performer with insane amounts of stage presence and talent. I need her label to let her go so she can do what she wants artistically. I miss Rina so much!

[Sam @sjfocer]

@gabbycrave I’m waiting for the fanfic post-50.

(Cackling at everyone that actually took this seriously)

[Sam @sjfocer]

I’ll never forgive Tom Westman and the Honor and Integrity equivalent alliance of HvV that took her out in 17th. Otherwise this run is insanely impressive.

Honor and Integrity players stay ruining the game.

Cirie's Placements In All Reality Shows: 4th - 3rd - 17th - 6th - Winner - 5th - 4th - 6th #Survivor50

@IPilipchuk87005 Said this too after yesterday’s preview of SF2. If auto tune was used in DMGP, it’s just doing your own country a disservice by creating such an excitement only to never be able to meet it knowing ESC doesn’t allow it.
The NF was insane and he’s never sounded that good since.

[Sam @sjfocer]

Only been a fan 2023.
Is #Eurovision always just one song vs another?

2023 - Sweden v Finland
2024 - Switzerland v Croatia (v Israel)
2025 - Everyone v Israel (Austria v Estonia)
2026 - Finland v Greece

Like why are so many quality entries written off entirely?

[Sam @sjfocer]

@JelleNLIT I don’t vote, btw. So no one accuse me of rigging 😂

[Sam @sjfocer]

@JelleNLIT Just went to the ROTW voting page. It says “You can only vote once per payment card”

I have 5 credit cards so I, alone can theoretically vote 50 times. I, alone would be 1% of Ukraine’s votes or 3% of Luxembourg’s votes and it would only cost me $59 USD (when halving for 10).

[Sam @sjfocer]

I’ve seen several people talk about Greece’s rehearsal already and every time it just sounds like “throw everything at the wall, overstimulate the viewer, and hope it gets some votes” versus actually having a quality point of view.

[ESC Tom @EurovisionTom]

Greece's show is fucking unreal. The graphics are only in the 1st third, the rest is all physical/props and full of surprises. Akylas has the toughest staging and pulls it off. They are definitely beating ISR in televote

[Sam @sjfocer]

@mylesmkuah I’m not advocating for the twist, by the way. Just saying I think the round plays out much differently if it’s just one big tribal council of 9 then 8 (if it becomes a Cook Islands-style “double”). The good of the episode is a result of the twist.

[Sam @sjfocer]

@mylesmkuah I don’t think we get the same gameplay if it’s just a regular round.
Ozzy might still be targeted but Cirie surely tips him off to use his idol. We don’t get the 2-2-2 tie with Cirie’s extra vote. We likely don’t get Ozzy spilling his game and Aubry using it against him.

[Sam @sjfocer]

@RobsFactChecker All that to say … small tribes/votes are *supposed* to prevent players from hiding easily and create better tv and more dynamic gameplay … but some players still find a way to fade into the background and survive by “doing nothing” (air quotes bc it’s an edited show).

[Sam @sjfocer]

@RobsFactChecker Players still find a way to be boring and complacent. I have been thinking more and more that many new era players aren’t playing to win on purpose. They’re playing to earn a higher paycheck. I think they’d rather get 3rd with no chance to win than get 8th swinging and missing.

[Sam @sjfocer]

@sadpisces92 This is the cheap end. There are some as much as $500. Some are egregiously saying “new low price” and it’s still like $300.

It’s ridiculous and makes me glad I was never someone into what’s popular because it’s popular but I’ve been a Pokemon fan since it started. This sucks.

[Sam @sjfocer]

@sadpisces92 This is eBay. Like … I’m actually angry about it. There are maybe 7 or 8 Target stores within 10 miles of me in any directions and maybe another 5 in the south part of the city. The entire LV valley was sold out before I even woke up, per the on-site inventory.
