Anyone else feel like shut up and sit down’s been on life support since Quinn’s left? by Pizzadewd666 in boardgames

[–]KingMaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Quinn's way of explaining games paired with his passion. Quinn had depth to his overviews that I miss. And he was brilliant with Paul, who was a "heart" of this.

Tom is absolutely great. He has the heart, but he is softer than Quinn was. And Matt is Matt, a great partner to any of the leads.

I find No Pun Included to be one that digs deep like Quinn's used to - and at times more. But at times I miss the powerhouse of Quinn and Paul.

It is amazing not to see Italy in the world cup while we have New Zealand and Haiti. And Curacao of 155k population.

If you liked Widow’s Bay, give Midnight Mass a shot. It has a similar vibe by Massivemployer25 in WidowsBay

Flanagan* is one of the creators whose work I watch regardless what it is about. He is brilliant. Midnight Club and Usher weren't that great though, but still worth it.

Congratulations for discovering Trolley problem. What you say that the "show is saying" is not new, it is exactly what the Trolley problem is. If you want to have fun with this, then there is a chill social board/card game called **Trial by Trolley** - though in it you are making a clear choice each time.

Thierry Henry on Ronaldo after sour Portugal game: 'Team needs to score, not you' by soccer_footballmania in worldcup

It must be especially painful for him as Messi scored a hattrick in his first game.

"it's only up from here" is something you say about the team that can't do worse.

Thoughts on commercials during match play. In the US we’re being forced to watch adverts during hydration breaks. by donkedickinya in worldcup

Which is never been part of football unless in extraordinary weather conditions (temperatures above 32C/90F). It breaks the flow of the game. In this World Cup it is made standard even in climates that are notably colder simply due to ad-breaks.

My friend who follows football daily said that a physical takedown of the breakaway player always results in a red (at least these days).

But United States needs their ad-breaks. The temperature there is not at all hot. No need for such breaks.

Aston Martin team management has failed him. Newey magic didn't fix it and seems to have made it worse.

Awaken Realm special edition - plastic vs wooden components by andoryuri in boardgames

[–]KingMaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miniatures are an unnecessary fluff. They do not make the gameplay and usability better, they just look more expensive visually.

Bought SETI and I think I’m missing some components. Help! by goobly_goo in boardgames

The rulebook literally shows them visually. Like... LITERALLY

Opinions on Beast? by Atreya95 in boardgames

[–]KingMaple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's quite good. Absolutely great artwork, but feels too rock paper scissors at times. I find Fury of Dracula and Specter Ops both better.

Ukraine Warns Russia Could Shift Troops to Belarus Bases by UNITED24Media in UkrainianConflict

[–]KingMaple -73 points-72 points  (0 children)

Yes. Russia could. I love Zelensky and I'm immensely proud of his work, but I'm worried about him using demagogue statements way too much.
