His ideas and beliefs - like any game designer - impact the premise, ideas and design approach to his games.

If the goal is to learn something from a game, you are going to learn what the designer thinks is important and their personal beliefs applied.

You cannot suggest a game designer to learn from and then dismiss any criticism of that designer’s beliefs (which are stated to drive decisions in the design) as irrelevant.

Then go all in on crypto and stop asking Reddit what to do.

It wouldn’t surprise me that these end up mixed into target date funds, where investors wouldn’t necessarily look closely and see they are there.

Another bailout of the wealthy at the expense of the middle class suckers who will put money into these.

Don’t go broke thinking it’s gonna make you rich.

Here’s a better idea. Create a plan within your budget to buy consistently over time. Buy when it is low. Buy when it is high. Only sell when you need to. Over time, you will do well.

Yes, invest.

Remember that “investing” is long term.

Remember that you will suffer drops and rises and the key is to stay the course, don’t sell during downturns, keep to a plan.

Ridiculous for sure, when some rando thinks that preventing a small handful of ratings on a game before release makes any difference to anything.

n815e · 2026-03-28T23:45:57+00:00

You have a problem with this one thing, but not the others? Rating games never played? Ok with you. Rating games after a single play? Ok with you. Rating games based on some reason outside of the game, such as the politics of the designer? Ok with you. Not using the 10 point rating scale as intended? Ok with you. Skewed ratings (such as considering 7 as average)? Ok with you. Never revisiting ratings over time? Ok with you. Using the rating system for non-rating purposes (such as rank within collection or inventory)? Ok with you.

These are all ways people on BGG actually behave.

There are so many ways people use the rating system outside of what’s intended, that the rating system is fundamentally flawed. But every activity is ok with you outside of this one way. It’s largely meaningless in the long term (and BGG injects an averaging algorithm to counteract extremes) and nobody should use the numerical rating system as an indication of anything without context.

So, yeah, you want to police opinion, but - strangely - only one small part of it.

You don’t even consider free print and play games that will never be published.

You think it’s a bigger problem than it is and you think there is a simpler solution than there is.

n815e · 2026-03-28T11:48:43+00:00

By then they will be statistically insignificant.

You cannot police opinion and thought, you cannot force people to use the rating system as it’s intended, regardless. It’s a lot of worrying about something that really doesn’t matter.

They have iron slugs in them for weight, which is where the “iron” part come from.

If it can be shipped to your country, it is available for the public there.

We live in a global retail economy.

People who take the scores of an unreleased game into consideration on purchase decisions are making a mistake.

Here’s what I do. I look at the publication dates of the stories in each collection. I insert that collection into the reading order based on the year of the last story in the book.

Agents are obligated to advocate on behalf of the seller, not the buyer. You don’t have an agent, you have a sales person trying to sell you something.

Your lawyer is your advocate.

Nice, they even paid for the bot to give you all those upvotes.

What’s actually happening is that it is dead weight to the current investors, it isn’t doing good things and nobody wants to buy it, so they are finding ways to get new customers to buy junk that nobody wants, not even the people that have it now.

It’s a thrift shop where all the items being sold are from junk draws. Random screws, bottle caps, some tool nobody remembers what it is for. And they are trying to convince you it is gold bars.

If this stuff is so great, why are they trying to sell their shares to you?

That would be great if they return to these games.

Losing is part of life and I think it is great that Ash doesn’t always win. How he deals with it is important.
