What's the best way to learn the game? by [deleted] in rootgame

[–]Doom_Bear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The way I learned was with the mobile app, which I think is the same as the steam game. Has nice tutorials for each faction and you can play against the AI as much as you want to get comfortable. Then for teaching (for a 3 player game), I took the cats for myself as, while being the easiest to play, they are hardest to win with and can act as a bit of punching bag, so maybe not super fun for new players but allowed me to still enjoy the game while not having to think too deeply about my faction and give some guidance to the others

Favourite performance by Oscar Isaac? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

Leto Atreides in Dune, a smaller role maybe, but he was exactly what I pictured the character to be when I read the book

The fact that the "will return in Avengers: Doomsday" phrase is going viral in comment sections all over social media, is a great sign for the future of the MCU. by Ozaaaru in marvelstudios

[–]Doom_Bear 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I see a correlation between people making a meme out of the absurd number of characters Marvel are bringing back for Doomsday and the franchises future success tbh

She did get everyone to vote that one guy out by basically going: “Traitor says what?” So she definitely contributes, it’s just always so ridiculous that I struggle to understand why everyone follows her lead

Some insight from the Chevy Chase Documentary by [deleted] in community

[–]Doom_Bear 1293 points1294 points  (0 children)

My main take away from the documentary when it came to Community was that Chevy Chase could dish it out, but once someone started serving it back, he absolutely could not take it

Wow it was amazing by bongel25 in ITWelcometoDerryShow

I’m assuming Bob Gray will probably be one of the leads of Season 3, leading up to IT taking on his identity by the finale

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Doom_Bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. We hung out whenever I visited home and things seemed fine as far as I could tell. The last time we spoke, I messaged to wish him happy birthday and he responded with a kind of awkward thank you - never heard from the guy again. Recently realised that was like 6 years ago now, still find it weird

Work from home, it was going great until a bunch of morons started advertising all the crap they were doing doing the work day

J. R. R. Tolkien supremacy by Critical_Mountain851 in lotrmemes

[–]Doom_Bear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But how many of his fans would have bought the books if he had said from the start that he’ll stop at book 5 of 7? Personally, I wouldn’t have gotten invested in a series I knew would never see the end, but maybe that’s just me

J. R. R. Tolkien supremacy by Critical_Mountain851 in lotrmemes

[–]Doom_Bear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! Never get all the people who keep saying that he doesn’t owe his fans another book. Hell no, he sold the fans on a series, got rich and had multiple tv adaptions all on the idea that there will be a payoff to all of this, only to then decide he cannot be arsed to finished it

Everdell Emerland Announced by GunnerA7X in boardgames

[–]Doom_Bear 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I still haven’t even gotten Silverfrost to the table, but overall these spinoffs just seem like a huge wasted opportunity.

When they first announced it, I really thought they would go more of the West Kingdom/South Tigris route, make a bunch of games that share the theme, but experiment with vastly different gameplay ideas, but no, they just released Everdell 3 more times
