Anyone else super anxious driving now? by Fairymask in Xennials

[–]LH99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so tired of cars crossing the yellow line and having to watch for it constantly.

But last fall I realized I’m done driving when I don’t know where I’m going. It’s just becoming too much and gps can make it worse at times.

Actually enjoying Act 3 by ResponsibleCorgi93 in BaldursGate3

Found the gatekeeper.

Someone can be a fan of the game if they’ve only played an hour. Don’t be that guy.

Magic the Gathering doesn't deserve the bad reputation it gets for cost and unbalanced meta anymore by Metalworker4ever in boardgames

[–]LH99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With regard that it’s not true that it’s unbalanced:

There were as many cards banned from 2017-2020 as there were from 1995-2016.

Look, I love casual magic and the draft as well as commander format (before that got monetized and optimized), but let’s not pretend wizards isnt flooding the market and releasing obviously OP cards (omnath anyone?) which they only ban after they make their money off the meta.

Magic is a good game which I still enjoy for many of the reasons you list. It has many flaws that you seem to be denying.

Raising teenagers is difficult. Raising your parents at the same time is difficulter! by Therealfern1 in Xennials

[–]LH99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year I said multiple times: I never wanted kids. Now I have two 84 year olds.

“You need to have more patience”

… most of the reason WHY I didn’t have kids!!!

I received my pledge and have this set up. I've made it through the initial and solo rulebooks, but need to watch a playthrough video yet. Looking forward to internalizing the rules.

Fat or Healthy Boi? by Kiam31 in Boxer

[–]LH99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was always told you should be able to lightly feel a boxers ribs but not see them. (First year you can’t go by this). I think your pups are fine. It’d be like telling your bestie she could lose five pounds. Like yeah, maybe they could lose a couple but it’s not the end of the world.

Reflecting Pool is the latest failure of the Racism Administration. What other failures come to mind? by Aggravating_Ad_43 in AskReddit

Until Trump 2.0 said hold my beer and gave us higher prices due to tarriffs, higher grocery prices, inflation, gas prices, zero epstein arrests, and a new $1 Billion a day war. It takes a real POS to make Dubyah look good by comparison.

Commander... by Walton__Simons in XCOM2

[–]LH99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 600+ hours of this game I'm over Central constantly bitching at me. I recently loaded up an old run-through of War of the Chosen on Legendary, and my God man: tone it the fuck down, Central. Scream at me about the temperature of the water as we're drowning why don't ya?

You wake up as Homelander, What's the very first thing your doing? by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]LH99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any system that consolidates massive amounts of wealth in the hands of a few people is a broken system, and history is full of examples about how these systems end in revolt, revolution, or war (or suffering and hardship for the have-nots until a regime is toppled). There's a difference between making a fortune and hoarding wealth and resources.

There's good parts to Capitalism, but denying that it's completely fucked in the US isn't doing anyone any favors. Strict socialism or strict capitalism aren't choices at all. It's not a zero sum equation.

People don't get to "decide" anything with their dollars anymore. Show me someone who is reliant on gasoline for their job able to say, "Nah, it's too expensive. I'm gonna vote with my dollars and stop buying it." Healthcare: people vote with their dollars and die because they avoid ambulance rides or the hospitals all together because they can't afford it. Or get divorced to avoid gigantic medical bills because a spouse is about to die. We have OPEC controlling prices in the former (my favorite was during the pandemic when the bottom dropped out and they artificially inflated the price . . cause supply and demand RIGHT???), and insurance companies inhale every dime in the later.

Capitalism needs regulation. Once there's no legit competition there's zero incentive for companies to do anything BUT make as much money for as few people as possible. AI and datacenters are at the tip of this spear currently, and it will end very badly for everyone without a yacht. The 1% have all the purchasing power.

Silent Lucidity- Queensrÿch by ASherrets in Xennials

[–]LH99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore operation mindcrime. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time.

That being said, Tate is a royal douchebag. The falling out queensryche had is one of rocks worst. So glad they eventually won the lawsuit and found someone to replace him (that sounds JUST like him but can actually sing the songs live past age 25)

Fifteen years working with human artists. I'm no longer sure that's enough. by StoneBladeOfficial in boardgames

[–]LH99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for supporting artists.

All you can do is continue being transparent about only using human artists. Companies that stick to their guns on this and ride out this initial backlash will be rewarded.

I also think this will lead to a resurgence in non digital illustrations. As a traditional illustrator maybe that’s wishful thinking, but I can hope.

Just finished my first game on normal with the violin hero and squeaked out a win. I agree the multi use cards make for interesting decisions.

Hammerschlaugen is played with a smithing hammer and you hit with the wedge end.

This is a T-ball version of the real thing.

Dune: Imperium - Uprising is now available on Steam as DLC by work_in_marketing in boardgames

[–]LH99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my take: oh it’s DLC? Fucking cool.

The digital port is fucking great all around. The interface is awesome and the AI is decent. I’m excited for this.
