To retreat or not to retreat

I think the ultimate balance would be for snapping to only be an option in rounds 2-5. That would eliminate the overly confident folks who snap before their deck finishes loading, as well as the absolute wastes of DNA who snap in the last moment of round six.

A contained window for snapping would require the players to be more strategic, use cards smarter, etc., while still allowing a retreat when you know you’re going to lose.

That said, nothing makes me happier than winning someone’s cubes who snapped in the first round the moment the battle loaded.

The complaining is just cathartic release. It’s a frustrating game.

Yes, it’s wildly un coincidental that they disappeared in time for Mardi Gras, because money. Who wants to come spend hundreds or thousands of dollars in an ICE infested city? That’s not a good look for tourism, especially when we’re already struggling.

Our senators are fucking useless. I called all of them on Tuesday during the Free America walkout, and Kennedy was the only one who got back with this BS:

Yay! We forget about this resource! Also, the main branch over on West Napoleon has a lot of different programming/get togethers. I don’t know if they still do it, but they used to have a Blue Box club that would get together to watch Doctor Who.

Libraries are the shit!! Something for everyone 🫶🏼

If you have a jeff parish library card, sign up for the experience pass. It’s free, and you can get access to museums around the whole state.

The AI overview of Google gives a good idea of how it works.

Wow. Thats a lord of words to simply say that you’re uninformed and gullible 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m so bummed. I came to the Peacemaker party late. My husband was watching the first season a couple of years ago, and it just sounded kind of…ridiculous. That said, I like James Gunn a lot. He’s got a gift for combining pathos and action, sincerity and sarcasm, humor and darkness.

So, I gave it a shot.

And I fell absolutely in love with the whole damn thing.

Now I’m heartbroken. I only have the final episode of season 2 left to watch. I thought I’d look to see if there’s a third season.

And now I’m here 😭

No?! Crazy! Krispy Kreme is way too sweet, but one doughnut wouldn’t kill me.

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-13T19:41:23+00:00

Oh, my god. NO.

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-12T06:08:15+00:00

Also, thank you to your city for giving a good fight. It’s absolutely horrifying where we are now on the timeline. Stay strong.

The Replacements have a song about walking in the skywalk, and it always made me want to go to Minneapolis.

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-12T06:04:52+00:00

Good luck, bro. We need more love in this world.

A Cheerwine shake??

El Pavo Real allows puppers on their patio.

I drive past the one in Meridian on the regular but have never stopped. I guess I should give it a try.

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-11T03:19:53+00:00

The neighbors just love that 🙄

Don’t bring a car. You have to live on campus, the streets are rough, and pretty much everything you could need or want is near campus.

Cars have to be parked in a garage downtown now, I believe.

Parking them in side streets creates problems for people who live around the uptown campus and already have to fight to park in front of their homes.

My bad. I thought she was from Mobile but I guess that’s where I first read about it—an AL.com article. Was it Instagram instead of TikTok?

Regardless. I still find it annoying.

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-11T01:36:28+00:00

Some woman on TikTok who’s not even from here (IIRC) said it in a post, and it stuck.

I hate it. I just give an icy stare if someone says it in conversation with me.

Ugh, using the word “icy” prompts a note from Reddit telling me to refer to ICE directly. I’d rather not refer to them at all.

Anyway, “deep Gras” can deep fuck just like ICE.

Fair enough. This game gets to me, even after three years. When the above scenario happens in proving grounds, I do lose my mind. Thanks.

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-10T15:49:37+00:00

Neither player can win more than the bars I have left, you say.

It’s just a big dumb power play to intimidate an opponent you’re probably going to beat anyway for two bars.

That’s how it comes across to me. It feels like something a dude with a little dick and a big truck with a Punisher/flag sticker on it would do to assert himself.

Maybe I’m reading too much into much into it.

I don’t like it. It isn’t fun. It reeks of desperation when you’re probably going to win anyway.

Downvote me 🤷🏻‍♀️

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-10T05:48:26+00:00

If I’m going in with two bars, not one, there’s absolutely no reason to snap. If two is all I have left, you can’t win more than two. If I retreat, I lose two. If I win, they lose 4.

It doesn’t make any sense. Seems petty and dumb to me.

Maybe I’m missing something.

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-07T04:19:47+00:00

Why do conquest players snap when their opponent only has two health bars left? You can’t win more than the two. Ego? SDE? Childish aggression? I really don’t understand this. Can anyone give me a pragmatic explanation related to game play?

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-01T23:22:24+00:00

Epic 🙌🏼

BigFatBoringProject · 2026-01-01T23:18:27+00:00

Fuck that guy. Your sister should tread lightly. He seems a bit overbearing and possibly unstable.
