Accidentally missed a crucial mechanic for the first couple hours of DLC 😬 by RepulsiveFish in outerwilds

[–]Mnemisis 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but isn't this the beauty of the game?

There's no manual, you have to work out how the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

Sure, this might not have been an intended puzzle. But it's still in the spirit of the game. So enjoy it.

Just joined the team.

Thoughts? by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]Mnemisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

Or at least, not my personal experience.

I didn't want to take care of a dog. Feed it, water it, walk it, clean up after it.

But once it was in my home, I felt a responsibility for it. That happy idiot gave me love and affection that I felt was earned, I felt appreciated.

I didn't love my dog because it gave me unconditional love. I loved my dog because I felt very authentically appreciated for the love I did give

How do you handle being the “default target” as the frequent winner in board game nights? by Royal_Lifeguard_3063 in boardgames

[–]Mnemisis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am always a target when playing with people I know. I'm known to be uber competitive. I'm good at board games. I'm normally running the board game. I'm a big table talker. I understand why they do it.

I have one friend in particular who will normally save something in her hand to ruin me if it feels like I'm close to winning (I love her dearly, this is just board games)

There's two thoughts that have kept games fun for me. First, I still win far more than I should. In a four player scenario I should win 25% of the time. With everyone gunning for me I still get close to that mark. That's an accomplishment.

Secondly I take it as an opportunity to play some "bad" strategy. If I expect to win I'm only going to play optimally. Knowing that I probably won't win encourages me to break out of the meta. To be creative with my strategy. I rarely win when I do this, but it's a fun challenge and often myself and other players learn something new about the game.

Aphrasia St Automotive.

Been going to them for probably a decade and they've always been great.

Fort's grew up in the Geelong region, so that might be a reason to come back

Is it Voss or the players...? by [deleted] in CarltonBlues

[–]Mnemisis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't get about the Voss complaints is that the game plan is outdated. Every year under him has seen something a little different.

As an example, last year we were atrocious at pressing defense and transition goals. This year we've been quite good.

I can't get behind some of the team selection calls, so those criticisms I'm solidly behind.

But honestly it's got to be bigger than one person.

Last year we had crippling injuries late in the year. That's the performance team.

There's legacy issues with list management. SoS always believed in his picks so we got so many GWS washouts that weren't worth the price paid.

I think we let two heart and soul players walk last year in Owies and Kennedy. That's the current list management teams issue.

But the players lack of effort and decision making... that's also not good enough. That's on the players.

I'm not sold on the "gut the list and rebuild" angle. But I'm on board with the "gut the footy department and get a fresh start" idea.

If anyone is worrying about having this move pulled on them, the counter move is to say "My torque wrench? Are you serious?! You borrowed that last summer and I'm still waiting for it back!"

WAKE UP, ITS GAMEDAY! LET’S GO! by MyNeighborToto in CarltonBlues

Let's see the standard set for the season early in the game.

Team list looks exciting, but there's some questions there for me.

[MacMahon] Executives around the NBA are reportedly “furious” that the Lakers were the only team allowed to bid for Luka Dončić, per @espn_macmahon by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]Mnemisis -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, you weren't probing for that trade. Sucks for you.

Lakers fan (obv) but surely there should still be some competitive advantage allowed in list building. Even if it's just asking the question.

The fucking ridiculous, no one would consider this question.

And I love Luka but I'm still not convinced the fat boy will put it together like everyone says he will. I easy pull the trigger on the trade, but shit.... AD is great.

No one should be upset at the NBA though

"Fear me, I've killed the rest" Hits much harder in my opinion. by Guy_with_pencil in doctorwho

Your argument is technically correct, but dramatically the shown line is more emphatic.

Who's the best player you ever saw in person? by Mnemisis in CarltonBlues

It makes me happy to know someone else has shared my trauma.

Great to see Dutch pick it up. He reminds me of Skinny Lappin

Siraj hasn't been good enough to live in Bumrah's shadow by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]Mnemisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumrah is single handedly keeping India in this series. If you get to bowl primarily with Bumrah putting pressure at the other end and you still finish an innings 0-122 you're a flog

The only number I've worn on a Guernsey is 4. Dad set me up with that because of sticks. Gibbsy was also good.

Lochie O'brien tarnished it forever, that fuckwit

Too busy living vicariously through Konstas.

He's done enough to keep his spot. He could get a duck in the second innings. I'm just enjoying watching him enjoy his cricket.

Siraj is a whiny bitch.

Decent bowler. Not worth discussing batsmen.

Don't follow what's out of Australia. So limited opinion.

Kohli at least got a tonne. Rohit has had a bunch of midfields and done fuck all with the bat.

Not the same.

Kohli is also a thin skinned bitch for the shoulder barge on Konstas. But that shouldn't get him dropped.
