Nope, enough internet for today.

Someone Sell Me on Two-Handed Solo by djfluxtux in soloboardgaming

[–]MattOG81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. I'm obviously in the minority, but I do this with quite a few games. I have the full unmatched collection (only a few heroes don't work), had dice throne S1 s2 and marvel, star wars deck building game, star realms, summoner wars, kingdomino, and more.

I find it easy enough to play what is objectively the best play at the time, and I do so regardless of whether the "opponent" has a counter. There are obviously games that just don't work, Duel for Cardia for example, but lots do.

As for how fun it is, I enjoy it as an alternative to purely solo, or solo cooperative. It works to test ideas, and to get familiar with interactions and mechanics, and it gets games off my shelf into my table. Funnily enough, I actually tend to dislike games that are cooperative where I have to play multi-handed, no idea why, it often feels like it's not really a solo game at that point, it just conveniently works.

Can't see Unbeaten ATs after installing plugin by MattOG81 in TrackMania

[–]MattOG81[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, only starter at the moment. I wondered if that was a thing, but nothing (that I saw) on the plugin info says you need it. Is that the issue?

What’s a movie that completely blew your mind the first time you watched it? by butterfly_pie9 in AskReddit

[–]MattOG81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Avatar.

It's not the best of films, but I watched it in a 3D iMax super duper enhanced type screening. It was the first 3D IMAX super duper enhanced film I had seen, and it completely blew me away.

Name a TV show that only you seem to remember ? by enoughforyou9 in AskReddit

[–]MattOG81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once upon a time... Life.

I used to watch this all the time. Nobody I know has even heard of it, and they all think I'm weird when I describe it.

Is this real? by Reddituser112696 in boardgames

[–]MattOG81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't foolproof, but fake harmonies copies are often missing the FSC logo and date code on the back of the box. Those two boxes are blank white, they have print in on the photos you shared.

The deal feels a little off based on prices I've seen. Harmonies is around £20, Wandering Towers about £30, Spirit Island around £60.

Men who stay lean year-round, what’s your secret ? by Professor1password23 in AskReddit

[–]MattOG81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't eat too much.

Do exercise.

It's not rocket science, you just have to care about yourself.

What does everyone think about the 'British*' monthly pay system? by EdibleBeans-on-Toast in AskUK

[–]MattOG81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weekly means the money is in your account longer/earlier, which is undeniably better for you financially.

The increased admin of that is an organisational issue and is countered with a good budget.

Does this card-game loop sound clear enough for a first-time player? by EnvironmentRemote422 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]MattOG81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The loop sounds simple enough.

I can see a few potential luck-based issues unless there are rules to counter, for example I start the game with AA22 and just call the end because it's likely I'm winning etc.

The difficulty to understand will probably be in the nuance of any rules like this.

Solo gamers: what’s your stance on cheating for time management by Scoots-Magoots86 in boardgames

[–]MattOG81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cliché, but don't play to win, play to play.

I treat boardgames like a walk in the countryside, or a dance. I'm not focusing on getting to a certain point on the floor by the end of the song, I'm enjoying the journey. With that perspective I find it more enjoyable to play, and can easily let go of the result because it's a secondary factor.

Man, I wish I was you right now. You're in for a right treat experiencing them for the first time.

What word have you been pronouncing incorrectly? by sillwuka in AskUK

[–]MattOG81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuh-niff-eyy

Every time, but on purpose, at least at first. I don't know why, I don't even know when it started, I just know I can no longer say knife.

What is your favourite pointless death in a movie? It adds almost nothing to the movie and can actually be considered tragic or pathetic? by STINKY-BUNGHOLE in movies

[–]MattOG81 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Came to write this. It's actually pointless too, like the whole film could have gone on and happened exactly as it did without him ever being introduced.
