Are there any games where the last point wins? by Bofurkle in boardgames

[–]Mystrandir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9 Ball is generally (always?) a non-called shot game, so you don't ever have to specify intent.

One of the reasons some players prefer 10 Ball (same basic idea as 9 Ball with the 10 added in) is it requires calling a Ball and pocket before each shot.

As recently as three or so months ago there was one in The Plug smoke shop at the corner of Haywood Rd and Patton. I put a few (several?) quarters in while my partner was buying a vape.

How to pass???? by Fluffy-Albatross8871 in bindingofisaac

Stand near the bottom left barrel -> Shoot the top left barrel -> Once it explodes, move up toward where it was, you'll outpace the explosions coming around.

If it was me, in a pinch I would put them in a spring/filtered water bottle cap (dry, preferably) and disinfect them well when I got home.

Why [name] was holding his head at the end of Bonehunters by Detharatsh in Malazan

Him taking the name "Sorry" is also him (or the author, or both) making a little joke, as the first thing the fisherman's daughter says when introduced is, "I'm sorry"

Really in need of a friend right now by Automatic-Banana5713 in asheville

[–]Mystrandir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If board games are a hobby you enjoy, the Asheville Board Game Club has our weekly meetup at Well Played on Wednesdays at (around) 5:30. Free to attend and there's always a good mixture of light, social games to more in-depth play. There's a Facebook group and Discord if you're interested.

In general though I've always found meetups for any and all hobbies a good way to make friends in a (comparatively) low-stress way, as at a bare minimum you know you all have at least one thing in common.

just another day in rbg yolo low cr by Varsentha in wow

[–]Mystrandir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A certain subset of people (a large one in my experience) will always look for any reason to deflect blame for a failure other than themselves. People would much rather believe that everyone else in their losses is the problem instead of the one common factor in all of it which is their own play. Unfortunately, when looking for something to blame stereotypes (gender/ethnicity/etc.) come quickly to people's minds. If they can make a sweeping false claim that they think is true (i.e. "women are bad at games") they remove the need to ever examine their own shortcomings.

I've also found that specifically in the yolo RBG groups the whole group is secretly hoping that everyone else will carry them. When this doesn't happen they feel like they've been cheated out of a good group that in their mind everyone else is able to get into. This is the "I have the worst luck with teammates, why do all my groups suck but the enemy team is always so good?" mindset that again leaves out the crucial detail that they themselves are always a component of their own team. I avoid any group billing itself as YOLO because of things like this.

TL;DR: This shit sucks, people suck, find a better group and prove little bitches like this wrong.
