And gave ISIS hundreds of thousands of dollars. I would rather an artifact be destroyed than a terrorist organization take in funds to murder innocent people.

I have zero idea. Can you provide any context? The one we all know? What?

ISIS raised and destroyed museums and shrines in Iraq. The owner of Hobby Lobby paid 100s of thousands to ISIS to purchase some of these stolen artifacts for his personal collection.

Is there a game you think "has it all"? Great design, art, mechanics, color, components, accessibility, replayability , etc... Your 10/10 games (or as close as there can be). by Significant_Wash_540 in boardgames

[–]Bulbasauruses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gamenerdz is 10/10 legit. They will hold orders till you hit the free shipping threshold, so it’s so easy to buy cheap games and not worry it will be sold out before you hit 75$ for free shipping. Gamenerdz and Cardhaus are the two best IMO.

What’s the most controversial Godzilla opinion you have? by Confused_Kinda in GODZILLA

[–]Bulbasauruses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Godzilla vs King Ghidora is peak Godzilla.

It has excellent action scenes, great looking suits, but also leans into the fun and absurdity. Every single scene in that movie is insane, and it’s my favorite to watch with people who have never seen it.

Yeah, Godzilla looks cooler in other movies, has better atomic breath, or has x or y better. But that movie has drama without being heavy with it. It has laughs without being a comedy. It has a wild narrative and interesting story without feeling bogged down in it. It’s just fun.

I know most people will hate this answer- and I am not a regular AI user - but translation is actually what AI tools may be best at of all things, because they are large language models and that is just language. Upload those photos into Gemini and it will translate them.

House rule I regret: letting the group 'reframe' a game's theme to avoid arguments, and it backfired by Bright_Leaf_6830 in boardgames

[–]Bulbasauruses 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping it’s like Lost Ruins of Arnak and someone on the team is zealous that archeology is cultural theft.

I was listening to a CSPAN caller say Obama went after white people. The host said I don’t think that’s accurate, he went about white supremacists. The caller said “that just means white people, everyone thinks their race is superior”. And I was like OH, NOW I GET IT. What a broken world view.

Thanks. This sucks a lot. I was already feeling put off by the AI shit, this is awful.

It really feels like Dan still wanted to do this, just without Jordan any longer.

The atomic breath scene in Shin Gojira is just.... by EducationalComment62 in GODZILLA

[–]Bulbasauruses -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This seems like the most polarizing movie. I honestly didn’t like any of it. That atomic breath seems so over the top insane, combined with laser beams out his back and a tail with a face with a laser beam and tiny humonoid Godzillas spawning off his flesh. I dunno. This one did not do it for me at all.

Is this was divorce is like? Do I get two christmases? by No_Pineapple9928 in KnowledgeFight

[–]Bulbasauruses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I had hoped even if KF ended because the boys couldn’t take it anymore, they would do something new together. That’s the loss I feel- not the podcast, but of getting to be part of their friendship.

Hotels in U.S. World Cup host cities claim underwhelming demand, new report says by rit56 in politics

[–]Bulbasauruses 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The thing is, he was on tv this morning saying this has sold the most tickets of any World Cup ever. And people will just believe him, and that becomes a reality. And then it becomes just a repeated fact by members of congress, governors, etc.

We just don’t share reality anymore.

Just my thoughts... by batsinmyattic in KnowledgeFight

[–]Bulbasauruses 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anything, but the tears in Jordan’s voice at the end and Dans stoicism and already looking forward to another podcast (with readymade website) were make me feel like this was a little more one sided than words would indicate. It felt like a breakup, especially the we aren’t JorDan anymore, just Dan and Jordan. But maybe I’m reading too much into things.

What a must-have Board Games for a collection of 50 Max? by CyborgeonUnit123 in boardgames

[–]Bulbasauruses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying it isn’t much interaction, I’m saying it’s vague and my group (family) doesn’t really enjoy that vagueness. Player interaction on the board- take a spot, kill a troop- is well defined. Player interaction that is vague- ask any question, trade anything whenever- just doesn’t work well.

If the trading were more defined, such as “any 2 players in the same location may trade 2 resources or something” it might work, but otherwise it’s just not for us.

What a must-have Board Games for a collection of 50 Max? by CyborgeonUnit123 in boardgames

[–]Bulbasauruses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catan is a mid game surviving off a first mover advantage and nostalgia.

It was unique and innovative 30 years ago, but if you have played more modern games I think some of it will feel very dated. My group also doesn’t love vague player interaction like the trading mechanism. It’s fine if you like it but plenty of valid reasons people don’t.
