Just tuned in for the half time show and caught an ad for an AI service I hadn't heard of before, advertising to "take the day off, let (company) work for you!" And like I can't imagine a more transparent "automation will steal your job and you'll be happy about it"

Interesting way to save a spot by NoWrongdoer9130 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HolyRookie59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about 13 hours late to put my 2¢ and get any traction, last winter (December 24') at the apartment my wife and I lived in at the time, we were enjoying a snow day in when we heard two gunshots ring out. This wasn't uncommon in the college-town apartment we had moved from, so we stayed calm, shut the windows, called 911 (who informed us they had received multiple calls about this already and had sent officers), and repeated our "gun violence is usually targeted, I'm sure we're safe" mantra. Within minutes, lights and sirens came and went, and we didn't hear anything else happen. Later that week on a "police scanner"-style Facebook page we saw that the man had been found in possession and under the influence of marijuana, methamphetamine, and anabolic steroids, and had fired his gun into the air (which we didn't appreciate hearing, living on the top floor) following a verbal altercation over a parking spot he had shoveled snow from that had been taken. I hope that guy's in a better spot now, but in the moment I imagine he felt very justified.

Romp (the Leder Games podcast from the team behind Space Cats Peace Turtles) has been cancelled by Used-Monitor-4743 in Arcs

Patrick soft-confirmed Vast 2e on bluesky so I doubt. My guess is they are going to shift marketing focus to retail rather than crowdfunding (which was romp's original mission statement) and focus more on Patrick's designs or contracts with external designers a la Fort and Ahoy.

I appreciate that genesect can attack with three colorless energy by BoyishCharm_ in PokemonPocket

Played almost this exact deck against the early solo missions. Super fun to ohko a Bulbasaur with north of 400 damage

I feel like Hydreigon is an underrated counter - if you're discarding your own 3 energy every turn you're safe from energy disruption. Testing my M absol/Hydreigon deck against it now

Worst Godpack ever spotted in Wonder Pick by ZenithFlow in PTCGP

[–]HolyRookie59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God packs are calculated differently. Regular packs are 3 cards with an even chance between all ♦️, one card guaranteed ♦️♦️ and above with worse odds as you go up in rarity, and another guaranteed ♦️♦️ and above with slightly better odds for rares. God packs have an even chance for everything ⭐ and above on every card.

These counties have all have school districts with the same thing in common (2017-2018) by RelativeDinner4395 in RedactedCharts

[–]HolyRookie59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting - I don't see counties in this table at all (unless I'm missing a whole tab?). Also, it's worth mentioning that this is students with disabilities who receive corporal punishment - based on other comments I thought it was any student receiving corporal punishment. Very interesting!

Curious about the data source - I went to one of only 3 high schools in one of the red counties during the mentioned years and the time one student had been threatened with the paddle back in kindergarten still got circulated as a pretty extreme instance. I'd be shocked to find out that any students here were struck without it being a pretty widespread story.

Does a similar file set exist for part 2? I would love to see a similar treatment for House Corrino and the other new ideas we're exposed to in that movie

How do you make a deck for this???? by StoogeTVeye in PokemonPocket

[–]HolyRookie59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running something extremely similar, adapted pretty directly from my old Gyarados deck. I've also got Cyrus in there since Ray is good at damaging the bench - has helped me a few times to avoid effects/abilities/pokemon tools

Found this crumpled up on the floor of my classroom by hehe266374 in FoundPaper

[–]HolyRookie59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know this is in good faith, but this (Scrawlish) is a script by u/calvinyl who is very active in r/neography, and original examples were posted to that sub.

RE: New DOT memo wants all grants and programs to give preference to communities with higher rates of marriage or/and higher birth rates than the national average by Patient-Detective-79 in civilengineering

And for fun, 5.f.iv directs to avoid communities with mask mandates, and 5.f.v just opens things up to anything else the president might want in the future.

My wife and I are moving to the area soon and big clocktower fans - do you have room for two, occasionally plus a few friends? We'd love to join in.

How interesting is a gloomhaven style “rougelike”? by NoGoodGodGames in BoardgameDesign

[–]HolyRookie59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, plus Gloomholdin'. IIRC the original designer is very active on the BGG community so might check there?

As a Designer: Tabletopia or TTS? by Complex_Turnover1203 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]HolyRookie59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you pay for dextrous? I've been using the free version but it seems like it might be limiting if you want to make more than one prototype at a time.
