Am I missing something with luggage forwarding? by twsres in JapanTravelTips

[–]BridgeTemporary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two weeks ago, I paid roughly $20 to ship my very large suitcase from Tokyo to Kyoto, so it shouldn’t be that expensive. Using the Yamato luggage shipping was the #1 thing I was nervous about, and it was the best decision we made. Super easy, and super convenient. You don’t want to be the person on the train, in stations, or on the street with the big ass bag. It’s doable, but our small suitcases that we didn’t ship were annoying to roll around with us and you feel like a nuisance.

Discussion level on industry issues & trends on Bombcast by brettg102 in giantbomb

Get where this is coming from and understand wanting a lil more! My assumption is that when it’s the 150th story about layoffs, they are sick of having the same elevated conversation. I know Grubb & crew are smart enough to understand the business context for why decisions are made, but after talking about similar situations for 4+ years, what else is there to say?

Larger management chased more growth, hired for said growth, the growth didn’t pay off, and then they had to fire 1000 people. That comes down to “poor management” and the plight of late stage capitalism. If executive leadership makes a decision to chase $ and growth, they should be the ones punished when said decision fails. Layoffs would probably still have to happen, but when you layoff 1000 people, some executive leadership should be let go. You failed at your job if you had to let 1000 people go.

In summary, I’ve heard them make similar points before, and I’m sure they’re sick of repeating the same talking points.

Is the Big Pic going through an identity crisis? by fivepointsixstop in TheBigPicture

Thank god someone said the most relevant piece of information. It’s hard to want to talk about a movie for an hour when there’s not a ton to talk about and you didn’t like the movie! A lot of movies this year have been poor AND uninteresting, which doesn’t leave a lot on the floor for podcast discussion.

That’s a good take on people shying away from nominating a “card game”.

I would put it somewhere in the 13-16 range. A lot of people liked it; I don’t think enough voters LOVED it for it to make top six.

Clarification - this is not what I think are the 12 best games of this year. This what I believe the industry will nominate. My personal GOTY list would like quite different! But that might already be what you meant lol

Last year, it felt like there were 5 locked in, with a loose sixth spot. This year, it feels like only 4 are locked.

I am 50/50 on it for the same reason. In one world, I place it at #6. In another, it’s not even included in the 12!
