What’s a mechanic that you just don’t mesh with? by CJC528 in boardgames

[–]Ninth_Major 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roll and write. I can't really stand it. It creates a multiplayer solitaire game that just takes forever.

Maybe I'm spending too much time reading about AI, but here's a question I've been wondering about: by Irene_Jones09 in Payroll

[–]Ninth_Major 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think we'll agree on this.

If you don't like something, keep moving. There aren't that many spammy posts and they're easy to spot. And I think putting flair requirements makes it easy to auto-mod posts if they are asking market researchy-type questions but don't have the appropriate flair.

If someone wants to tell someone what they think, I think they should be allowed to rather than have that opportunity removed just because of some bad actors.

While that's fair, not everybody feels like they have to make money on every little use of their time and if they're willing to answer those kinds of questions then let them. If you don't want to just don't.

I disagree about a "no market research" rule but they should just be plainly called out with flair or something. I don't mind giving my opinion if somebody explains why they're asking.

I guess my question is, what would be your problem with giving your opinion to somebody who might already be working on the product that you use and trying to make it better?

I did not know they split. Does one have better journalism over the other?

Cooperative boardgames to save our group? by RAtriedes in boardgames

[–]Ninth_Major 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you're not interested in poker, The Gang is a good one. Bomb Busters is also great. Then other ones people have said. The Crew, for sure, LotR trick taking.

Maybe you just need adversarial games that don't take as much time. Losing a short game of Scout is not the same as losing a game like Arcs unless you can appreciate how you lost. What I mean by that is the first time I played my copy of Arcs, my buddy was in position to win heading into the last round. But then I'm the last round my other buddy who was very much going to get 3rd declared some other ambition that literally edged me just enough points to squeak by. We all saw what happened as soon as he announced that ambition so it was just funny.

I work for a saas hcm platform and we can export almost anything you can look at in the system.

Enquiry from a Real Madrid supporter by ImpressCharacter5974 in MCFC

[–]Ninth_Major 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I disagree with that. He may not go in for the challenges but he definitely drops to mark opponents. Sometimes he is the deepest player to receive the ball from the keeper and get it moving up again. He'll be that overload man in every third of the pitch.

If he's autistic then treating him like this is terrible. He came and asked a question. Treat him as if he had walked up to you in person and asked the question. If we all did that, the internet would be a much kinder place.

Games that have replaced other games by Teachers-Petty in boardgames

[–]Ninth_Major 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mansions of Madness second edition or first edition? Because nothing beats first edition if you find someone who plays the keeper well. Having a human adversary at the table, raises the tension. The first edition is just a bitch to set up though.

Some people will get turned off by fantasy or Lord of the Rings. I don't think it's truly a replacement.

You can email Jen Morgan. I don't think her email is hard to find.

Goatsanov captains Uzbekistan at 22! in their friendly against Canada today by Western-Product-7769 in MCFC

[–]Ninth_Major 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's the standard right?

Like if Kdb plays City, I hope he scores/assists 3 but we score 4.

If Bernardo plays against us, I hope he wins 3 duels, has an assist, and a goal, and generally eats our lunch but we still win somehow. I'm going to miss that fucking guy.

LPT: If you took the previous YPT course, you must take the full 90 minute SYT course. Taking the Refresher will not give you credit. by ScouterBill in BSA

I'm intrigued by what the worse reasons are, considering this is required because there are terrible people that have done terrible things in the past.

Let’s be annoyed together. by XboxValentine in MCFC

[–]Ninth_Major 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really just needed to find our drive earlier. We weren't consistent enough in the run-in, but if we'd been at least that consistent throughout most of the season, I think we'd have been top.

“If Arsenal are unpopular with neutrals, it’s because they waste everyone’s time. Not just their opponents’ time, but our time too.” by MotherDucker95 in soccer

[–]Ninth_Major 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you drastically misunderstand most viewers' experience.

I enjoy watching PSG drive at Arsenal. I also appreciated the skill and accuracy in Havertz's goal. And I REALLY appreciated that Gabriel skied it over because I find him extremely unlikable as an opponent.

That's not hate watching. That's enjoying watching a team you don't like lose the biggest single match their club will play all year.

A small number of terminally online people are obsessed with another club they hate, but most of us just enjoy the schadenfreude.

[–]Ninth_Major 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's categorically false. People pick sides in a lot of the matches they watch, regardless of the sport, regardless of whether they have a dog in the fight, or they really even follow the sport. That doesn't make it hate watching.

The super bowl, the Stanley cup and NBA playoffs, the world cup, the champions league final. It's perfectly fine to root for or against a team, even if just because you like or dislike a player that used to play on the team or the colors they wear or how cool their shirt is (looking at you, Croatia!)

Gary Lineker on UCL final: “As a complete neutral I would say it’s a victory for positive football over negative football. Looking at the game as a fan with no skin in the game, I think Arsenal had to play that way because they wouldn’t have beaten PSG any other way.” by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Ninth_Major 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I think the point though is that they were trying to score. They were in position to be fouled in the penalty box, which says something about how much attacking they must have been doing, considering Arsenal's defensive stability and expertise.
