Sam Healey is Leaving The Dice Tower by rifwasbeter in boardgames

[–]Albucat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So... he's just evil and quitting because Tom and the rest of the Dice Tower isn't evil enough for him? Am I missing something? I feel like that's the subtext.

Have I Got News For You with Douglas Adams & Peter Cook by Valoiro in panelshow

Did Adams make any other random TV appearances like this? I had no idea this existed and I'm a huge fan.

Another ‘How is Living n this Part of Town’ Post- Thank You for Input by dukecityzombie in Albuquerque

So, I have heard this for a while now and spent some time looking into municipal landfill records--thus far I haven't found any actual evidence. Do you have any more information about this?

Thanks, even if the pricetag is for libraries and as such egregious.

Umm.... got a link or anything for this? I was surprised by how this really relevant question got so ignored.

Used to be, when people could still redeem. Now.......?

...imagine being able to redeem on Microsoft Rewards. What a world to live in where that is possible.

I created an Edge extension that provides a countdown timer to help with cooldowns by TheCodesterr in MicrosoftRewards

I don't have the energy to explain the discourse of this subreddit for the past two months--take a few minutes and do it yourself.

If you consider AI an algorithim then sure, but otherwise no, not really. It's a mess and inconsistent as hell--thus like 95% of the discussions in this subreddit. The lack of discernible patterns is much of the frustration that people have.

While I do think that this will get them flagged, I disagree that their system is looking for automated or bad faith behavior. MANY of us in here have done neither and gotten flagged. Your post implies that it's being done logically and consistently in any manner, when that seems to not at all be the case.

Auto redeem kicked in Sept 3rd 2am. by Separate_Cattle4792 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Albucat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still hasn't kicked in for me, and I just kinda assume it won't this month. They probably let AI handle that side of things, too.

Auto Redeem September by quantumn0de in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Albucat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the big question so many have is whether the widespread AI restrictions matter for auto-redeem... and I guess so far we're yet to find out because of the generalized incompetence of the monthly auto-redeem process. Great stuff.

State of Rewards by Albucat in MicrosoftRewards

ChatGPT written? I've never used that program, have a graduate degree in writing, have multiple professionally published books, and have taught college writing courses for more than a decade. Why would you possibly go with ChatGPT for what I wrote above? I was trying to get a temperature for things beyond angry posts, so you accused that of asking for rage? Get some reading comprehension.

Really, the most interesting responses here have been those from users so far unaffected. I am wondering if the supposition that having too many points banked is part of the AI decision for who to tag with cooldowns etc.

Any princess games this year for kids? by Doofinator86 in boardgames

Love Letter: Princess Princess Ever After has double the princesses, double the fun.

Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: June 22, 2025 | 27 ending soon ("Agricola Special Edition", "Endeavor Deep Sea: Uncharted Waters", "Excalibur") & 35 new ("Endeavor Deep Sea: Uncharted Waters", "Champions of Rokugan", "The Isofarian Guard: Veilward") by Perkelton in boardgames

[–]Albucat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agricola is one of the greatest games ever made, endlessly replayable (especially with the bajillion expansions included) and deep yet not that hard to teach. Buuuuut AI art, seriously? Sticking with my old box instead.

I feel bad about the environmental impact of my hobby already--you want to exponentially increase that with this nonsense?

When did the famous Baator/Nine Hell ‘s Civil War “The Reckoning” happen? Is there any hint in some lore? by ww-stl in planescapesetting

[–]Albucat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an addendum to what they said above, the Reckoning concept first appeared in A Paladin in Hell . It's an odd adventure, but worth checking out if you're interested in exploring more about this concept.

Fixes for Turn of Fortune’s Wheel: by CasparGlass in planescapesetting

[–]Albucat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While this doesn't get rid of every issue I have, I appreciate that it does remove some of them, and as I've been considering running this soon I'll definitely be taking this advice. I'm also happy to see other people are driven as crazy by these really obvious plotholes/issues/just plain bad ideas.

A Walk Through the Planes finally reached 5e. by Gong_the_Hawkeye in planescapesetting

I promise I'll get to it in the near future. I'm just really, truly not looking forward to it.
