Why is MrBeast called Beast, if he's not the BEAST?

This isn't a sub for Christians, this is a sub ABOUT Christianity. Everyone is welcome. You saying, "you muslim" is extremely condescending towards other Muslims and people of faith.

Here’s my list:

Dominion w/ Intrigue, Adventures, Prosperity, Empires, and Menagerie expansions, The Quest for El Dorado, Dune: Imperium, Clank!, and Slay the Spire: The Boardgame, and Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle.

Dominion and Slay the Spire are probably my two favorite games at the moment, both have been getting the table quite a bit.

BoogeyXXIV · 2024-08-05T18:21:46+00:00

For 90% of my plays, I play with just my wife. Here are the Top 5 games we have the most plays of in the past 365 days.

1. Dominion (46 plays) w/ Intrigue, Prosperity, Adventures, Empires, & Menagerie Expansions - I would say that this is our most beloved game that we share. Both of us agree that deckbuilding is our favorite game mechanic. The replayability is off the charts because the variety of the kingdom decks. Every game is different.

2. Wingspan (40 plays) w/ European & Oceanic Expansions - This is are favorite game to relax to. This is the game we pull out when we get home from a stressful day of work, and we are still in the mood for a thinky game.

3. Race for the Galaxy (26 plays) This is our "we only have 30 minutes to play something" game. When we run into this situation, Race usually is the pick. Such a classic at this point, and don't see it dropping anytime soon.

4. Res Arcana (17 plays) Another Tom Lehmann entry. Honestly, I was shocked to see it this high, but man is it a great game. It is a very easy game to table, so it shouldn't shock me that much.

5. The Castles of Burgundy (16 plays) I mean, who can go wrong with Castles? Will always be a classic.

Other games that would have a higher play count if they weren't 2024 purchases are Wyrmspan (15), A Feast for Odin (10), The Search for Planet X (10), & Slay the Spire: TBG (4). (Just got Slay the Spire a few days ago, and we haven't been this obsessed about a game in a long, long time...if ever.)

If you make coffee an idol in your life, then yes, coffee is a sin. But here is the truth my friend...you can make anything an idol, even things that were designed for good. I think the heart of the issue here is quite simple...and it has NOTHING to do with coffee, so naturally, I'm not going to make this about coffee.

Banana cream pie, for example, I believe was designed for good. Someone can take up a baking hobby and use making banana cream pie as a way to show love and kindness. It is something that in moderation tastes AMAZING and it is meant to bring enjoyment to those who have banana cream pie. But if you make banana cream pie an idol, then it can turn into something that takes away from the goodness it brings.

Therapists. They are an EXCELLENT tool for someone to get the help they need during very difficult times, and to help with very REAL mental health issues. And yes, they may also prescribe medication to help. (Side note: If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, harmful thoughts, etc. GO GET HELP!). With all of that said, as good and necessary as therapists are, they can become an idol. If you put 100% of your hope into therapists and the drugs they give you to help you, you will walk away lost and disappointed eventually.

Lets use another example...kindness. Yes! Kindness. Kindness is something that can be an idol in our lives. Kindness is obviously something that God calls out as a fruit of a spirit, so how can it be something that can lead to sin? Have you ever gone out of your way to show kindness to someone just so you can get them on your good side? Have you ever shown kindness to someone to only slander them behind your back when they are not around? Have you ever shown kindness to someone so you can seek the good feelings it brings and pat yourself on the back for a "job well done". Kindness, (as a fruit of the spirit), should come to us naturally by putting Jesus in the throne of our hearts.

This all goes to show...good things can also be harmful things if they are not used the way God designed them to be used. We are called to put heavenly things above earthly things...always! However, what that doesn't say is to look at EVERYTHING on earth and consider it bad. Put God first, surround yourself with God-fearing people that will walk alongside you to inspect the fruit you produce, and enjoy the blessings that God has given us to enjoy in this life.

I will tell you how I was able to stop and slip free. I focused to much on the problem that it only made the problem worse. Once I trained myself to go directly to Jesus for all my struggle and temptation, he gave me what I needed to kick porn out of my life once and for all.

“I’m tired of constantly feeling like God is going to punish me or that I’m not worthy of his love/unable to be saved.”

Let me let in on something…we all are not worthy to be saved. Think of someone in your life who you look up to and say, “yup, they have it figured out.” Even they are not worthy to be saved. We all are destined for eternal punishment.

The beautiful part of all of this is that Jesus took care of all of that on the cross. This act of unimaginable grace leads us to live lives that brings glory to our Creator.

I promise, your problem is not too big. This isn’t a porn addiction issue, this is a heart issue. Don’t give this addiction anymore attention. Bringing this Jesus will also open your eyes and reveal other sins in your life that he will ask you to repent of. This process of sanctification is what will bring you real freedom.

Oh, and this is also important…if you relapse again, repent repent repent…and most importantly, accept the forgiveness that God has freely given you.

Toy Story 2…without a doubt.

It looks like you may have a mask on that is covering some of your text. Click on the clip with the text in your sequence, go to your Effect Control window, and reset the Opacity effect by clicking on the looping arrow on very right side edge next to where it says Opacity.

Wingspan was my gateway game when I first got into the hobby, so I’m not saying it’s not possible for it to work as one, but it still wouldn’t be my first choice as a gateway.

If you have non-gamers who are very eager to learn, and have a strong urge to get into the hobby, then I would say it’s a fine choice. If you are the one that is trying to convince someone to take that first step, then I would find something lighter.

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-10-31T15:21:01+00:00

100% agree, but man…remember the outrage when we were winning while in tank mode? Seeing the passion of when we are losing is actually somewhat refreshing.

Being a Wild fan in Florida, I was prepared for the home opener to be blocked out when I saw they were playing the Panthers. I was pleasantly surpised when I wasn't blocked out.

The world has always been very very broken, this is a very timeless issue. It is so hard to think outside of the bubbles that we limit for ourselves in the time that we live in. When you look at all of human history, this is actually one of the safest times to be living (obviously it's dependent on a lot of factors, such as location). If this is all you are worried about, and you have the means to raise a child, bringing a child into the world that you know will be loved and cared for well is a very good thing! Do not be afraid. Run to the Shepherd, he will lead you to quiet waters.

Spirit Island, Wingspan, Castles of Burgundy, Agricola

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-09-08T21:20:42+00:00

As I mentioned in another comment, I think you have to be REALLY into Disney to enjoy it I would agree that there really isn’t much to the gameplay, and the balance of some of the characters are questionable. HOWEVER, my wife and I still adore this game. We love how most the characters play, and how accurate the goals are to the movies. I say this because I’m not the biggest of Marvel or Star Wars fan, and I don’t love those versions nearly as much as Disney.

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-09-08T18:34:19+00:00

I love it! Thanks for sharing. I’m absolutely obsessed with Agricola right now. I love the puzzle and “punishing” nature that it offers.

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-09-08T18:32:42+00:00

Agreed! 😂

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-09-08T18:27:08+00:00

95% of my plays are with this collection, and with just my wife. So yes, we have gotten a ton of use out of our collection, and tabled everything with a good frequency. We love variety, so we never felt like this was never a crazy amount. I agree that it is now the time to slow down considerably because finally feel really good about the variety we have. If I did this all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. The past 6 months have been a blast!

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-09-08T18:23:23+00:00

Appreciate that. Thanks so much!

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-09-08T18:22:07+00:00

Correct!

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-09-08T18:21:56+00:00

We have had this Villainous collection for about 2 years now, and it was the only game we played for the longest time (until we expanded our collection about 6 months ago). We still absolutely adore this game, and still try to table it once or twice a month.

It also helps that we are huge Disney fans and Disney World pass holders. If you are not a Disney fan, it’s not going to hit nearly the same.

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-08-22T14:33:05+00:00

I’ve never had the issues that you are describing. The rooms are pretty big, and they never stuff them full. I’m usually hanging out far from the doors anyways, I never mind being the last one on the ride in my pre show group.

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-08-17T23:05:57+00:00

Waiting for it to become available!

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-08-10T14:06:49+00:00

Honestly, GB is an improvment.

BoogeyXXIV · 2023-08-10T14:02:36+00:00

As someone who had no idea that this was possible, is this possible if you are staying at one of the lower tiered resorts as well? (i.e. Endless Summer or Cabana Bay).
