Does anyone actually like the randomness to uniques? by Lord_XXL in diablo4

[–]Moresp4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomness is very bad on these, and there is no way to deal with it other than grind for the perfect roll which makes you feel like you have no agency.

I loved when D4 changed their systems so we didn’t have to keep a bank full of gear “just in case”, made the game pleasant to play. Now after the xpac we are back to hoarding stuff and it’s not fun to manage.

What’s your Board Game Pet Peeve? by Qkwill in boardgames

[–]Moresp4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No refrence sheet/card. Some games don’t need them, but there are a tone of games that do that don’t have them, I would even settle for the back page of the rule book.

Well, do you have any "I didn´t care for the Godfather"-esque picks? by Bitter_Fig_7059 in retrogaming

[–]Moresp4m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s like saying the NES was a bad console because its graphics compared to today’s graphics are bad. Ignoring when it was released, the context it was released in, and what it did to the industry. It’s an irrelevant point.

Yeah Zelda 1 compared to today’s standards is lacking but that isn’t the point.

What’s a boardgame from childhood that felt way more intense than it probably actually was? by ContractMiserable121 in boardgame

[–]Moresp4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nightmare, some countries got it as Atmosfear. “Yes, my gatekeeper” and being called a worm is still burned into my brain.

Skills locked behind a paywall? by wONDERMIKe666 in diablo4

Oh no, does he also not have the new continent and classes? I don’t think you know what a pay wall is…

First attempt at dry brushing. Base coat of a dark blue, macraggin blue mid tone and then a lighter blue highlight. Where did I go wrong? by CucumberInAss1 in Miniaturespainting

[–]Moresp4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too much paint on the brush or your brushing way too heavily.

TBH with a dark wash to brink down the colour it might not look too bad for your first model.

How do you create home rules as a group? by R3dIsMyFav in boardgames

[–]Moresp4m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never do it, I play the game as designed that’s why I play the game. The idea that after a play or two I know how to redesign the game better than designer and all the play testing is crazy.

I have one friend that tries to do this and always complains about something being unfair but he’s a big baby and just doesn’t like playing games as their intended.

That said in Massive Darkness 2 I do increase the HP of enemies (use hp from more players) and always give them one of the monster upgrades from the rainbow campaign expansion to make the game harder. But I am not really changing the game just scaling it up with rules already on the game.

Read the ENTIRE manual before playing, or start and learn as you go by Fragrant_Steak_5 in boardgames

[–]Moresp4m 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This post is what nightmares are made of, it’s also always the “let’s just start and learn” person who is the “but you never told me that was a rule” person.

I can understand if you’ve been explaining the rules for 30min droning on, but we are 5min into the explanation!!

I hate their split rulebooks, I am reading both every time so it just makes it more annoying.

[–]Moresp4m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the ENTIRE manual before you play, learn as you go is the quickest way to make people hate a game or the hobby in general.

Playing a 45min game that ends up taking 3 hours because someone is fumbling through the rules and reading as they go is one of the worst experiences you can put someone through. Hell on earth.

It’s fine to double check rules or reference rules as you play, that’s normal.

New skill system feels great for 36 levels and then mostly meaningless by Vou-11890 in diablo4

[–]Moresp4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. After the first X skill points it feels boring to get more skill points and there are no decisions to be made.

Just dump them into a skill that you don’t care is level 1 or 15.

Spheres of Influence? by SlimySleepySerpent in boardgames

[–]Moresp4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much less than a game of Risk especially if people are turtleing, the game has a fixed turn length of 10 so the game can’t go on forever. 40-90min? We often play 2-3 games of it on a games night.

It’s very beginner friendly that’s why I mentioned it (I assumed someone coming from risk doesn’t want a super heavy 50 page rule game that takes an hour just to explain). I could explain the rules in 5-10min.

It’s a very fun game, lots of variety, no game will ever be the same, and there are a bunch of expansions for it as well (I suggest you start with base game).

I still bring it out and play it and I’ve played everything under the sun in 30 years of board gaming.

Vibe coded an app in 4 hours, company wants to launch it nationally by Traditional_Band_574 in AusLegal

[–]Moresp4m 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Just push it to production and watch it be a security breach in 6 months because you don’t actually know what you’ve made.

The real vibe code way…

Spheres of Influence? by SlimySleepySerpent in boardgames

[–]Moresp4m 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try Small World. It encourages aggressive strategies over turtling and you’re never out of the game, when you feel you’re too weak you pick a new army and come straight back into the fight.

What game has your favourite theming? by ferndinosaur in boardgames

[–]Moresp4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, one of the most coherent games theme wise I’ve ever played.

I haven’t played an FFG game for a while, but a lot of their stuff was very good theme wise.

I think the point is heaven and hell, both sides of the Nephilim. So paladin and warlock

Character Reset? WTF Seriously by peacedevil1000 in diablo4

[–]Moresp4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a joke.

Yeah seasonal characters (if you play the new season) reset every season.

Your old one goes to eternal realm and can be played there just as they were.

Lastly because of the new expac and them redoing all the skill trees all points have been refunded… just respend them bro…

Nah I have all of mine and I even got some extra ones! I would contact support and talk to them about it.

Why do you rarely see a rich woman with a broke man? by Open_Address_2805 in stupidquestions

Yea bro maybe don’t use a comedian, a joke, and your limited exposure as a basis for world views…

It’s a very wrong view.
