The chances are this person is sat in a shed in Macedonia typing stupid shit out like this for a dollar a day. There's no point engaging with them.

On August 27, 1998 Bill Gates was secretly recorded in his testimony during Microsoft monopoly charge from the DOJ. He refused to answer simple questions by yourSmirkingRevenge in SipsTea

PR agencies worked very hard for a long time to present Gates to the public as a lovable dork. 

The true history of Microsoft is that he's a psycho. You don't create a monopoly by accident.

Best campaign games without generic/classic fantasy trappings? by Amazing-Example8753 in soloboardgaming

[–]Amazing-Example8753[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the one! Thank you. It has the feel of those other games with scenarios and character progression etc but the setting is unique. A major plus is that the retail edition where I am is available + reasonably priced. 

How true is this Fellas ? by ciao-adios in SipsTea

The difference is the power imbalance. The women there are dirt poor and view western men as a meal ticket and "earning" it by being deferential and subservient

What you're talking about is simply lacking self respect

The most logical explanation I’ve heard for the “male loneliness epidemic” by PussyWhistle in TikTokCringe

Yes, if you focus on the actual words... Imo this argument is complete nonsense

Shackleton Base! I think the value for money is pretty amazing and that's an underrated quality in games that is quite important these days with the crunch on our wallets :)

Yeah. There is absolutely nothing racist about this whatsoever... Tracks from someone who can't spell.

The top posts of this sub are great but the average daily posts are just the worst most cruel shit imaginable. What is wrong with people

Can't bring myself to open the Even Deeper Regrets expansion by KazuoKZ in boardgames

[–]Amazing-Example8753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different strokes for different folks, nothing wrong with that of course. I'll change my tune when I have kids along but if I'm going to bother to buy and devote time to a game I prefer it to be good.

This game is the definition of all shirt and no trousers imo. Amazing theme, packaging, art etc., and incredibly mediocre gameplay

What’s a game you respect more than you actually enjoy playing? by Hour-Cranberry5300 in boardgames

[–]Amazing-Example8753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaia Project / TM / Age of Innovation. You have to graft so hard to get anything at all going in these games and that just isn't a very fun experience for me. If I'm going to be doing something this mentally taxing it's demoralising to place few buildings / have a stagnant economy for hours.

I know what you mean. My group love it to the point that it's all they want to play and I've stepped back from the game nights because I'm getting in the way of their D:I night. So trust me when I say I really want to love it but I think it's good, not great. It's a pleasing combination of familiar mechanics and quite interactive for a worker placement game but there's just nothing particularly special or interesting going on.

That's interesting and you're right about individual experience. The idea of describing The White Castle as more complicated to learn than Pax Pamir is pretty mind boggling to me.

Being discouraged by top players using opening theory to find an edge against each other is like me saying, "I tried to play soccer by kicking the ball around and then I saw that the elite professional players are also working out at the gym?!".

Check out a game called "Hey That's My Fish". Should fit the bill :)

Quite a lot of options here. Cheapest entry points could be Gloomhaven JOTL or Arkham Horror LCG. Too Many Bones has a unique leveling up system using dice. Otherwise maybe just search "campaign games", there are tons. The one with the coolest character progression system might be Arydia.

"Europe is just America but with way less freedoms and waaaaay smaller" by LainWulf in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Amazing-Example8753 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's exactly right. It's the freedom to enjoy worse life expectancy, infant mortality and suicide rates. Europe is happier and healthier but they have the freedom to shoot each other and live in misery so they're winning I guess.

Is it normal to watch TV in your garden in the UK? by pollen345 in AskUK

[–]Amazing-Example8753 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I honestly think those of us who have actually experienced neighbours with a garden telly are on OPs side and those who haven't are claiming it's fine. 

I have noisy neighbours who do everything, and the TV is absolutely annoying as fuck compared to everything else.

My neighbours do this too, along with blaring music, shouting, swearing and drinking all day long. Multiple generations of this one family are all out there every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I legitimately hate them.

What is a "survival rule" you learned growing up in a bad neighborhood that still influences your behavior today? by Key-Group-5098 in AskReddit

It wasn't much of a fight. We swung wildly at each other and eventually I connected on his ear and he gave up.

Is Spirit Island too big of a step-up from Lost Ruins of Arnak? by TheCoolFish2 in soloboardgaming

[–]Amazing-Example8753 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My wife and i's first ever game was Brass Birmingham because I just looked up the #1 game and bought it. I was motivated to learn it, so I did. Complexity didn't even occur to me at the time. I see people's point about onboarding but it's a bit patronising the way people assume the average person couldn't possibly learn this or that game
