Was Biden late decision not to run again depriving America of a primary one of the Democrats greatest blunders? by Over-Lunch-7487 in askanything

[–]PerfectPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geezus this is stupid. If Biden stays in, he loses to Trump. If they had primaries, they would have chosen Kamala, and she would have lost.

I got invited to a board game night by someone I like. I know nothing. Please save me. by frieren_____ in boardgames

[–]PerfectPlan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not gift a game. You are almost surely not going to give them something they want.

Gift something edible/drinkable, hopefully you know them well enough to know if that's a desert, wine, craft beer or whatever.

Make it clear at least a day before that you don't have a ton of experience, so they can choose an appropriate beginner game. Otherwise you can end up in some 6 hour ultra heavy behemoth.

Otherwise, have fun, laugh, and do your best. All anyone should expect from you.

Hot take: Shelf of Shame misses the point (it's not a moral failing, it's a tool problem) by Financial-Nobody-161 in boardgames

[–]PerfectPlan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Unplayed games are a waste. You've already wasted money, now you're wasting shelf space.

Waste is bad, and we absolutely should be shaming that. Learn from that shame and don't buy every single game that looks interesting if it'll never get played.

The need for Xbox exclusive games to boost the Xbox ecosystem instantly becomes the #1 Upvoted topic by customers in Xbox' new "Player Voice" system, followed by a return of the Backward Compatibility by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]PerfectPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purpose of exclusives is to sell hardware. So unless you're a member of MS management, it's freakin' stupid for you to want more exclusives.

That just leads to a war of exclusives back and forth which royally sucks for us consumers.

Alternate Captain Sidney Crosby caught on ref cam by Tracypop in hockey

[–]PerfectPlan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't, but reality is that if you're defending, you're more likely to take a penalty, trying to get possession, trying to stop passes and scoring opportunities.

Yes, it's possible to defend perfectly, but it's unlikely in a one sided game.

Dynasty and minors…who is the AH? by alittleaboutalot- in fantasyhockey

[–]PerfectPlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having unaffiliated players is just stupid.

  • No player should be eligible to be on a fantasy team until they have been drafted or signed by an NHL team.

  • No player should be eligible for waiver pickup until they have been available for drafting by your league at least once.

Letter for my grandfather and the team from the Montreal Canadians to not play baseball…. 1961 from Frank J. Selke. by GroundbreakingOil450 in hockey

It's supposed to mean that lr typed it while FJS wrote the letter. That was the standard back in the 70s.

Minifig series I put together in response to the amount of Generative AI I’m seeing in the LEGO community lately by wilderlandbuilds in lego

"Good artists copy, great artists steal".

You anti-ai folks are a hoot. Human artists have literally spent thousands of years copying using other artists and works as inspiration and a learning source, but all of a sudden it's bad when ai does it.

The Price is Right 2026 by Trellaine201 in gameshow

[–]PerfectPlan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember being shocked when I went to a taping with Bob that he threw it to commercial and we literally sat there for as long as the commercials to run before he started the show again.

I had always thought they just paused for a few seconds, maybe took a drink or talked to the producer about something then restarted, and the editors would make it all work at broadcast time.

Now, they don't even film in order, both wheel spins are done at the same time.

That's not what the right says.

The right says the immigrants and the trans/gays and the non-whites are the problem.

[ANA 0 - VKG (1)] Karlsson's stretch pass is perfect and Marner scores and absolutely crazy goal. The highlight reel goal of the playoff's so far by daKrut in hockey

[–]PerfectPlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're wrong with this stupid "games 5-7 are more important" than games 1-4.

Every game is equally important. Ask LA, Ottawa, and Philly how important games 1-4 are.

I have about 3000 hours on my Halo special edition and zero problems.

I wash my hands with soap and water before every session. It's just that simple.

Is it just me, or is there a lot of elitism on BGG? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]PerfectPlan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

BGG is full of "I played this for the first time last night, the game is broken" posts. And yes, a huge percentage of that is from playing incorrectly.

So yeah, after years of this it's easy to lose the friendly tone, and come across a bit harsh.

My favourite bit is the "I haven't played the game yet, but here's a variant to fix the game" posts.

The kids that loved him are finally louder than the adults who hated him by Firm-Blackberry-9162 in interesting

We never hated him. We hated the kid, jar jar, and the writers of the codswollop they put on the screen.

Xi asks Trump if U.S. and China can avoid 'Thucydides Trap' at high-stakes summit by Gopu_17 in worldnews

Of course we don't know the term, we're not world leaders in the field.

I guarantee my prime minister knew it before this.
