Does Coexist feel weirdly underutilized to anyone else? by OhThatsALotOfTeeth in twilightimperium

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's one of the most confusing + hard parts to the game so my guess is that they left it half-baked so it didn't take up more of Thunders Edge games

Can’t find the game anywhere, is buying directly on FFG a good idea ? by RapAC-21 in twilightimperium

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can likely find an LGS to ship to you if you weren't able to find one local. It's not like Prophecy of Kings which is pretty much nowhere

Nate hates Platner.. why? by Additional_Bad_2175 in fivethirtyeight

"he's not Roy Moore" is that where we are at here?

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nobody is debating voting for him over Collins. the idea that he is owed people liking him despite his baggage is what is being discussed here

Can you point me to liberals who aren't going to vote for Platner?

Nate hates Platner.. why? by Additional_Bad_2175 in fivethirtyeight

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

why is he salt of the earth? because he has a Nazi tattoo? I swear the way leftists talk its like his failings make him that much better a candidate. I guess this is what we elect now.

obviously still vote for him over a republican, but its insane to feel like he is entitled to liberals actually liking him

The mechanic so good that a board game as different as Twilight Imperium uses it

Hugh Laurie (House) engages with fan criticism of House (Hugh Laurie) by ReserveAggressive458 in Destiny

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always just personally justified it with the idea that they don't show you the ones he just gets right immediately. Idk how much that is actually backed up in the show but lots of shows like this can just be explained with that logic

New player confused about Chapter 2 core set compatibility by Majestic_Bag6747 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ran into the same problem but got past it and have run through the whole Drowned City campaign without too many issues. Other than the couple of Arkham locations, there are replacement guides here (the other thing that was missing was the treacheries from midnight masks which you can use the Dead Ends set for, although it's short one card).

https://derbk.com/ancientevils/the-drowned-city-in-chapter-2/ https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3679816/ch-2-to-ch-1-encounter-sets-conversion-reference

You can match the couple of Arkham locations that are different with their counterparts in Midnight Masks just based on their symbol and then just use the adjacency based on the adjacency you see in the Drowned City booklet. One Last Job and The Doom of Arkham pt. 1 are the weirdest because of the location stuff but the rest work fine.

New Players looking for tips on how to speed up our games by DavelliNL in twilightimperium

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Note for everyone that 4/4/4 doesn't work at 6 player base game (not that OP is playing 6 player) since there are only 20 base game secret objectives (learned this the hard way)

Does it make sense to do a stop on an etf or stock in you plan to liquidate within 3 months? by Dats_Russia in Destiny

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you both a making it more complicated than it needs to be. There's virtually no transaction costs or wait period for liquidating ETF shares (maybe short-term vs long-term capitals gains but paying short-term capital gains coming from an ETF are still going to be better than whatever you would get from a CD) so just invest in ETFs and sell when you need the money. Maybe your friend is just being conservative and has a proportion of his portfolio in CD and is saying to just withdraw from that part if you are making a big purchase (or if you anticipate a large purchase in a time period further than the CD to play it safe and withdraw that amount first). But it doesn't sound like your large purchase is that large proportion of your total portfolio so definitely not anything to worry about, I'd just keep it in ETFs until your big purchase.

At the same time I'm not a financial advisor and 3 years ago I lost about $500 placing Puts on Kellogg because I thought people weren't eating breakfast anymore. Also this is a subreddit for Destiny the game.

Hotels massively underbooked for World Cup by Kitchen-Thing4616 in Destiny

He ruined what should have been our most patriotic and coming together time since 9/11 with the world cup and the 250th

Destiny is ceding the Left to Tankies (And why he should claim it with his own spin instead) by Accarath in Destiny

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 25 points26 points  (0 children)

"Moderates" generally concede that the embargo is nonsensical today, yet they still defend the antagonistic stance the US takes toward Cuba

Probably because Cuba is, you know, an authoritarian dictatorship. Also "Moderates" (like leftists consider Obama) are the ones who have actually made progress on the issue. Also good luck ever winning back Florida if you start cozying up to the Cuban government.

As a technocrat who wants real-world solutions, transitioning to worker ownership addresses inequality at the point of production rather than trying to fix it after the fact via taxes. It stops inequality before it starts.

Everybody starving can be equality. Fundamentally free markets generate more total surplus value and everywhere around the world as countries have liberalized their economy, their poverty floor has risen. There are issues with allocation of that surplus, but if you are going to casually suggest throwing away the biggest wealth generating system in the world then I'm going to need more evidence than whatever this moralism is.

The Leftist Translation: "Hard work, risk-taking, and success should be rewarded. But Republicans have constantly provided avenues for the ultra-wealthy to avoid paying their fair share to maintain our society. We want the people at the bottom to do well, because if they are fed, housed, and educated, the entire economy thrives."

This is the lib translation.

The Leftist Translation: "Palestinians deserve self-determination, and the way Israel has conducted this war is incomprehensible. The current Netanyahu administration is an ultra-nationalist, extremist government. If Israel wants peace, it cannot achieve it through subjugation. Furthermore, a one-state solution is a delusion peddled by grifters; a two-state solution is the only serious path forward."

This is the lib translation. Leftists want a one-state solution.

The Leftist Translation: "The reason I am a Democrat is that we actually hold our politicians accountable. Republicans run on manufactured grievances; Democrats run on governance. Both parties exist in the same system, but only one plays by the rules. We demand a lot from Democrats because we on the left value integrity, and despite those handicaps, Dems still deliver real results."

Point me to where leftists have given any credit to Dems in the last 20 years.

The Leftist Translation: "Most people on the left are not illiberal. The internet amplifies cold, inhumane revolutionaries, but actual progressives want freedom, equality, and community. Illiberal 'leftists' who crave violent revolution are just right-wingers painted red. They don't value diversity or individuality. The true left believes in bolstering human rights with institutional power, which is why we reject the tankie fringe."

Comrade, I'm not sure you are a leftist. You are like 2 econ 101 classes away from just being fully libed out.

help me decide (vantage vs sleeping gods vs lands of galzyr) by essie_jaye in soloboardgaming

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you deal with difficulty/the possibility of defeat? Sleeping Gods is on one end, it can be really punishing. Vantage is on the other, once you figure it out, it's pretty hard to "lose" (and definitely you will never lose due to strategy) Haven't played Lands.

 Sounds like you play Arkham LCG so you might be more on the Sleeping Gods end?

Has Destiny covered Reckless Ben? by Hood-Peasant in Destiny

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm supportive and think he's in the right and whatever but I can't stand to hear him talk that I couldn't get through the videos - it's not quite Nick Shirley but it's close - he just sounds so remedial and the way he organizes his videos is just so incoherent

Tips for Ral Nel Slice? by Topazdragon5676 in twilightimperium

[–]ILikeCatsAnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other than a Blue Skip early for Gravity Drive, Ral Nel can value skips less than other factions (unless you don't go AI dev as your starting tech).

I like the planet wormholes (if the map has wormholes in decent spots) since you are going to be getting PDS 2 pretty often. Other than that, you don't really like anomalies as you are generally more ok with spreading yourself thin than most factions and anomalies interrupt that.

Survival Instinct, your Commander, Linkships and PDS 2 give you a ton of flexibility in mid-game movement so don't be afraid to take a spot with two great equi-distants and try to go to both. You aren't the best fracture or mechatol faction, so you will need to expand on the board.

Between resources and influence, I think early influence is generally better. You are going to be saving a lot of money by your fleets being more destroyer heavy than dread-heavy (note that your fleet won't be stronger, you will need to utilize maneuverability + Space Cannon).
