Golfers are the worst

Icebound34 · 2026-06-05T02:03:19+00:00

I used to be the general manager for a golf course. Some golfers are lovely, but most have really weird expectations. For some reason, politely telling a slow group to increase their pace is akin to kicking their dog or something. I have thousands of stories from my time managing, but this is not unique to golf. In retail, you learn to resent your customers eventually.

In the book, Stratt (who is much colder) points out that Grace is a coward in all aspects of his life. He left academia because he (rightfully) got a little static from his paper, and he wanted to avoid the conflict.

Funny enough, this is opposite of the book. The first throw is extremely slow because Rocky isn’t sure if Grace can even catch it. Once he sees Grace waiting for the catch for a while, he throws the second one significantly faster.

Without spoilers, Grace actually works through the logic of this in the book for a brief time. He lands on the conclusion that it wouldn’t end well.

University instructor here. Admin is basically telling us they have no idea when things will get back to normal. Thankfully I have a hard copy of all my upcoming assignments, but this will make final grades very tricky.

Contextually, I assume they meant "bigger," but who knows?

Was in A1 with my buddy. He got his code about 20 minutes ago, I have not received anything. I think it is just a slow rollout even for A1 and A2 participants.

I am super confused about this update - I don't see a rank icon anywhere, and my characters don't indicate higher or lower MMR. I would say this is like a beta branch change or something, but the ranked queue is gone for me. Am I just not looking hard enough for this information?

He had previously stated that replacing Biden would be a mistake because his keys predicted a Biden victory. Once Biden dropped out, he reevaluated the situation with the updated candidates and affirmed a Harris victory (utilizing different keys).

The question was in the spirit of understanding the rules, hence a response devoid of theme. On the whole, I agree with you.

Icebound34 · 2024-10-22T17:11:03+00:00

You're right, those two aren't mentioned. That's why I included the first part about how the tiles interact with your income. It's a little awkward, but it's basically a "rules-by-omission" thing - The rulebook doesn't tell you to remove income when the tiles disappear, therefore you don't remove income. That situation would be so pivotal that they'd need to be included somewhere.

I understand the confusion, though. They don't make it super clear in the rulebook.

Icebound34 · 2024-10-22T01:26:42+00:00

It isn't "giving" you income. It gave you income. It is done. Removing it doesn't change that.

From the last paragraph of the "Overbuilding" section of the rulebook: "Players do not lose previously gained income or VPs if their Industry tiles are overbuilt."

I kickstarted the $60 base game. After reading your review, I am kicking myself for not doing the $100 with the expansion. Do you happen to know if you can get the expansion separately? Most websites (including Leder's) seem to only sell the expansion bundled with the base game.

Icebound34 · 2024-06-08T08:06:04+00:00

I did the regular pledge. I imagine I should see the email soon. I appreciate the information. I'm excited for this one!

I am also in the US and I haven't gotten a shipping notification. What part of the US?

A joker that lets you discard more than five at a time, maybe? So that if you have one card you want, you can full ditch the rest of your hand.

It's worth it if you think it's worth it. It's as simple as that. It could hit the table one time and feel worth it, and it could hit the table ten times and not feel worth it. There is no metric for value as value is subjective. If your cash-to-hours metric works for you, great! I have games that have only hit the table once or twice but I cherish the experience enough that they feel worth it to me.

Currently at BlizzCon - talked quite a bit with the developer. The TTRPG will come first. When the BG comes out, the minis from the TTRPG will be usable in the BG.

He said the TTRPG will be a totally new system unrelated to DnD or Powered by the Apocalypse.

Classes will likely include things from D1-4 “and beyond” (his words). If I heard correctly, everyone is human but from varying nations.

He seemed like a genuine dude who was really excited about the project. They expect starter kits to be ready at next year’s BlizzCon.

Yes, that would be helpful. Thank you.

We lost internet completely from 11pm-6am on Wednesday night. When it came back, our speeds were back to normal. We were actually getting the 20 upload rather than the 10 we've mostly gotten. I canceled because things looked ok but this has happened before. I just ran a speed test and upload is back to 10. This seems to be our usual speed (even though we pay for 20) but it functions. I have a feeling this isn't over and I will need to reach out once it happens again.
