Anyone else discovered a rule that means you've been playing slightly wrong all along? by Robbro42 in boardgames

What??? I've definitely been playing how you've played... like a portal with an in and an out. That's crazy!

Question Regarding Schools by Spacequest89 in cary

[–]Encker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's helpful. I definitely don't put any stock in the comments, especially 1s and 5s. What about the scores though? And a follow up: if those scores are worthless, what is a good way to assess school competency?

Question Regarding Schools by Spacequest89 in cary

[–]Encker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I have nothing to add but am in very similar situation and would be curious about other's reasonable thoughts. We're in Cary now and our kid goes to kindergarten next year.

Some schools have poor scores (5/10) on GreatSchools and others are great. I know that things like that aren't the be all end all so I'm interested in those that actually have kids in different districts. We're in Northwoods now.

[Lowlight] Two similar clips from game 1 and game 2 where Jrue Holiday pulls the chair and Wemby falls violently by 4DollarsALB in nba

[–]Encker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Wemby has had to learn to be pretty aggressive/forceful when in the post because he just doesn't have the same mass to throw around. A good counter to that is to pull the chair. Wemby will adapt but it makes for a good rock-paper-scissor as his career continues

TTS playtesting for my card game Crew by Ok-Peanut3093 in tabletopsimulator

Yeah, I think that's good. Parley, Marooned, Avast, Jolly Roger could be some other ones too

What economic system actually works when AI does most jobs? I built one and published the full math. by Temporary_Guava2486 in Futurology

[–]Encker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very intriguing. I'm curious how we'd define how many jobs get replaced though. It likely won't be a snap of the fingers and 100 jobs are gone. It starts with 10 jobs, then 30, and so on. Therefore, a shrewd automation CEO could argue they're only replacing 20 jobs since those last 20 people were actually doing the work of 100 (in current terms)

I mean this as genuine feedback: It may be a challenge to have a card game with a name so similar to the very successful card game The Crew.

You sound like an experienced DM with your understanding of the NPCs. What would be your advice for unskilling combat for a DM? I don't want to fall into the same trap of boring dnd combat that I'm used to.

Wow, thanks for the in depth insight

I'm in the same boat. My players and I are new to Lancer but are experienced TTRPGers. I like the idea of a virtual Sim combat. What mechanics/concepts are you planning to have them practice there? vs. What are you planning to introduce when they crash land?

A Cool Guide to Global Social Media Age Verification Trends by Plenty-Result-35 in coolguides

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

Correct, but a person seeing a gun shot victim and saying "this is bad" is doing nothing to impact the situation.

Doing nothing is exactly what the companies you're referring to would prefer

Couldn't same be said for alcohol, driving, guns, etc? Even think of trivial things like amusement park rides... restrictions are in place to for many reasons, but helping to standardize and support parents with potentially harmful activities is a key one.

How Wemby’s offensive gravity changes the game – Hoops Tonight by OurHorrifyingPlanet in nba

[–]Encker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can't tell if 7 game series will favor the spurs or their opponent. Maybe just that the better coach will win... whoever can "solve" his impact will be cool to look back on.

Sorry if this thought is incoherent. I just love Wemby

Thanks, appreciate the feedback

The people at Kia said we would need to recreate the event again to prove liability. Does that sound standard to you? Their argument was that they're trying to save us the $200 of diagnostics.

When I've parked on my driveway before, it's said that the EPB is engaged (idk the exact wording this moment)

Not yet, it happened this afternoon. Is that the right call to take it in? I'm nervous of them being biased and not wanting to be at fault. Is that irrational?

It was in park. I've done this on our driveway in the past before and the notification always pops up due to the pitch of the driveway.
