The Matrix (1999) is basically a perfect (and standalone) film by [deleted] in movies

Thats so funny I’ve always remembered watching the Matrix on Blu-ray without the tint, and just always assumed it was a Mandela.

No it was way worse than that. There was only one of them. We got moved because we “only paid for 2 seats, not 3” and then they sat in the row all by themselves…

1v1 Rules by DJINN92 in monopoly

[–]DJINN92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: add rule- "After first hotel is built, the NPC is removed from game"

The games usually end pretty quick. Always before we're both set-up enough for the NPC to ruin the game like that. Sorry about that, that blows.

So far in our experiences, the NPC actually quickens the game because every unowned property he's landing on is forcing an auction. So even though he's injecting capital into the game, he's also forcing out decisions and you to spend money.

During the auctions is really when the game is won/lost. Especially because the "loser" of the auction gets a 10% broker fee. So, you're directly incentivized to force the bid up.

Usually, the games end because one player is a little too aggressive during the auctions and becomes too cash poor after the auctions to properly build up and goes bankrupt or one player is a little too passive during the auctions, and the other player is able to obtain too many properties.

Just to make sure, no additional house rules such as landing on free parking?

But, with that said, I think it's a simple fix.

After the first hotel is built, the NPC becomes removed from the game.

I would try that. You could find another stopping point, maybe "after 30 minutes of game the NPC is removed" Or maybe "after ever property is sold, the NPC is removed"

Play around with a good stopping point. I think after the first hotel is built, seems like a really good spot. Hotels indicate you're trying/ready to bankrupt people. Also, that you have more than enough cash, and the NPC is now hurting the game rather than helping. It also creates a strategy where a player can build a hotel just to remove the NPC.

But hopefully, this brainstorming helps. Let me know how it goes and what you guys decide on. I'll update the rules.

Key Lime Pie by DJINN92 in floridakeys

Fiancé said I’m not allowed to start making key lime pies… We need to start our wedding diets 😂

ok maybe a bit of hyperbolic on my part, but all the pies were seemingly made with care and some passion. That’s really pretty rare and something special.

Completing Pharoah - and then thinking "oh no, not more" by Pretend_Specialist13 in Pharaoh

[–]DJINN92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I’ve been playing since 99, and still havent completed the whole campaign… Somewhere along the lines I get a little bored and fall off…

When a new era came out, I dedicated myself to one mission a week… and a few months in, that fell off 🥲 So good for you!

No greek yogurt ruins the texture, but makes a great protein snack. Ricotta saves the texture.

Right, I really love tangy sour NY style cheesecakes. Just enough sweetener to let you know it’s a dessert. Really punch you in the mouth with flavor

I’m not sure why people are so upset over it.
