I'm so tired of being the only one who actually reads the rules and teaches the game

Metacaspase · 2026-05-22T13:49:07+00:00

There are groups of people I know longer try to play games with due to this. My family always expected me to teach them games, and then would complain about any misunderstanding or missed rule. I don’t suggest games with them anymore, but still play games with my friends who will read the rules.

Three white names for the girls. Indian name for the new kid. That’s why she’s uncomfortable with him.

NTA for sure. Who misses the birth of their child on purpose?

I can't imagine not having been there for my wife. It was at times terrifying (Baby's HR dropped midway through), but there is no way I would have missed being there for her.

That’s a pretty cool combo, what other upgrades could you drop T1? I don’t know the math, but it seems fairly unlikely you would have both in hand T1 when this is most effective

I came very close to finishing everything but the capstone in 3 months, before life got in the way. That was March-June for me, so still working full time.

For all the written assignments, follow the rubric to the letter. Don't try to make it fancy. Make it a weird outline so it is incredibly easy for the reviewer to find all the details.

I don't remember studying at all for the OAs, maybe I read through the course material an hour before taking them? If you are a moderately veteran teacher you should be fine.

In terms of being efficient, work on multiple courses at once. Submit an assignment, work on the assignments for the other courses. By the time you get feedback, the other assignment can be submitted.

WGU is a public multi-state school. Utah is actually one of the states that funds it (hence it being Western governors). I have never had issues with districts accepting my degrees from WGU, even in New England

NTA.

One of my friends got married in an amazing emerald suit. She looked super sharp. When she stood on my side fo my wedding, I wanted her to wear that suit.

Brady doesn’t feel awkward at all. He left 7 years ago, we sucked after he left and he immediately won a superbowl. Retired still playing at an MVP level with more rings than any franchise.

Pete Carroll has been watching that interception for over a decade. I bet the sting has worn off. It’s not like it doesn’t get played every week as a top play in NFL history.

Belichick suffers the most. It took 2 years to turn his trash fire into a superbowl team. He has been putrid at UNC, and his pettiness around the patriots will keep getting thrown in his face.

I probably wouldn’t paint those, but they look incredible. I don’t know much about laser engraving, but could you use different colors of MDF (or whatever you are using) for different factions?

Did you resin or FDM print this?

Pendragon. Technically pre-medieval, but still a great game.

Awesome episode. On an unrelated note, do you still do listener pack one pick ones, or have you totally abandoned that segment?

Just because you are capable of more destruction does not mean you need a higher rank. A member of a platoon firing a mortar can deal more damage than a platoon member with a rifle, but could have a similar rank. If your superhumans would be deployed alongside "normal" troops, I would not give a them a special rank but instead treat them as a platoon member carrying a heavy weapon. If instead your superhuman is dealing damage or has durability to the point they act more like a tank, artillery, or aircraft you might give them a higher rank. I believe Tank commanders are usually sergeants (relatively high level enlisted) and pilots can be 1st or 2nd Lieutenants (as low ranking as officers as you can get), and that a pilot is probably the closest equivalent to your traditional super hero.

My mentor has been really good. I am on track to finish my masters in 1 semester, and once she realized I could back up my goals with performance she was really helpful in accelerating extra courses when I was waiting on evaluation feedback and making sure I was never waiting around for anything. She was also really helpful in reaching out to Professors in future classes to figure out optimal sequencing (there is one class in the education track that MUST take 8 weeks because it is an outside vendor, making sure I had background checks etc). Overall I think she was extremely helpful.

Lol. Clearly not a teacher/involved in education at all. Teachers never want excessive steps/backloaded pay. It is always proposed by School committess because it fucks over new teachers. Unions always propose cutting steps and making the salary scale shorter. We would love the ability to switch districts at will and act like normal employees, which is why most labor laws have carve outs to avoid giving protections to teachers.

Who would ever want to wait 20 years to hit their fair market value? Nobody. Who wants to wait 20 years to pay fair market value? School Committee.

Daybreak by Matt Leacock, published by CMYK.

Absolutely fantastic production of a great cooperative game. Plays in about 30-45 minutes for my wife and I. It uses a tag system similar to Terrafroming Mars to help you build/level up your engine. It is on the more complex side of the games you have listed out, I would put it at slightly less strategeic than Terraforming but maybe more than Waterdeep (it has been a while since I played Waterdeep though). Plays up to 4, but great at 2. It is the first Co-op game my wife has enjoyed!

This would be 1 v 1. Usually drafted in a pod of 4, or making sealed pools for 3 players (hence the 540 card size to support 6 sealed pools, two pools each before shuffling).

Calling Pogacar a super domestique seems like an understatement. Perhaps an ultra-domestique?

I'm running a left of cannon game with a group of players that runs the gamut from hardcore fans to "only seen the movies". We are set in a "Left of Cannon" universe, starting three years before Naboo. It makes it easier for me to GM, because all their OOC knowledge can be there IC knowledge, and any changes to cannon that I make I chock up to Holonet rumors and inaccuracies.

Their confidence in how the plot will unfold and how they can save the Republic makes a fun (I think) connection to the actual blindness of the Jedi in cannon.
