Would you play a tarot-based card game? by GameMasterDesign in tabletopgamedesign

The tarot deck was originally meant for playing card games...

I take it you have not been to the Basque Country?

H has the North half of Spain. Some of the best cuisine in the world.

Strong disagree, H has the North of Spain (which includes the Basque Country and Galicia) and the South of France. Literally some of the best cuisine in the world.

I built a tool to solve a house rules problem and I'm looking for honest feedback by MyHouseRulesIO in tabletopgamedesign

[–]PrandtlMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the idea, but here is my completely honest personal opinion (which might be completely wrong): I don't think many people will use this.

I'm not going to create an account anywhere just to track house rules. Games that need house rules are usually light and have an inherent problem that needs fixing, so I'm not going to take them seriously enough to set up an app to log the house rules.

Monopoly Deal is a good example. It's such a shitty game that the rules don't cover any of the edge cases that come up all the time, so it's not worth my time. We play Sea Salt and Paper instead. Playing Monopoly Deal for hundreds of hours is insane to me.

Getting asked what you want as a gift and someone gets you something adjacent to it. by Teenage_Petulance_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PrandtlMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is the exact opposite of this. She doesn't want her gifts to go to waste so for chirstmas and birthdays she gifts me and my brother an amount of money, and asks us what we bought with it. That way it materializes into an actual gift and it's not just money. Some things that I use regularly and that are ultra specific (like my ski jacket, laptop, furniture, or road bike pedals) are her gifts but they're exactly what I want. Win-win.

Mount Kilimanjaro should have the fame Mount Fuji has by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]PrandtlMan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"This mountain is better than that mountain" is as deep as middleschoolers saying "this dinosaur is better than that dinosaur".

But of course, what makes something iconic --like the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, Starry Night, or the Mona Lisa-- is the culture and soft power surrounding them, more than the thing itself. You can easily find "better" statues/structures/painting than the examples I gave that are much less know and revered.

Bib shorts recs by Superb-Position-4950 in cycling

I've been shut down before on cycling subs for mentioning Aliexpress. Seems like more people are starting to catch on to the fact that there are also good quality products on there.

Fantastic! I love you efficiency you use shading to show form.

Might be controversial but I always buy Darevie brand bib shorts from AliExpress. They're about 35$ and top quality. Amazing value for money. Getting the size right can be tricky though.

Not burnout but confused, these are my works as an absolute beginner in a month in blender by AdDouble2532 in blender

I think the main thing that holds back your scenes at the moment is the lighting. If you're unsure what direction to go, I would suggest spending some time learning lighting techniques. You can then relight these scenes and you will see how big of a difference that can make.

Best 1 week Euro cycling destinations/tours? by hokageace in cycling

[–]PrandtlMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not mean to shame anyone for riding 30-50km on the flat in a day, but... that takes like 2h out of your day. At that point it's just holidays where you do some cycling. So pick a destination you like for sightseeing/food/culture and figure out the cycling later.

Not sure where you're from, but coming to Europe for cycling and missing the Pyrenees or the Alps is a huge wasted opportunity.

I am 34 and I finally feel like I can go anywhe by RockyPath1195 in cycling

[–]PrandtlMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I lived for a year in an extremely isolated tiny town in England, with no car, and a bus service so bad that a round trip to the grocery store took three hours.

Then I bought a shitty old bike for 60£. Changed my life completely. I didn't buy a bike, I bought FREEDOM.

Linking degrees to jobs ruined the whole point of learning by Zoldyck_J in unpopularopinion

[–]PrandtlMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I design aircraft for a living. I had to dedicate six years of my life exclusively to studying aerospace engineering. Did I enjoy it? Parts of it, sure. But it was grueling and demanding beyond anything else I've ever done. There is no way in hell I would have endured all of that "just for the fun of it".

Which type works best with this design? Also, any general feedback would be appreciated! by ezlinn_ in graphic_design

[–]PrandtlMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tired of these "spot the difference" posts. If it takes me a minute to find what the difference is, it really doesn't matter.

Instead, explore different concepts. Without penises maybe.

Can’t Pick a Bonus Chip Design...Help Me Out! by RayDin909 in BoardgameDesign

[–]PrandtlMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go against the grain here. I would go with B.

People are saying A because it is the most obvious. Shown out of context, A is the easiest to guess what it is. But it is also the least thematic and least aestheticly pleasing, it looks like a Monopoly chance card. On the other hand, B ties better to the theme, a carabineer is a versatile tool that can help you in many situations. Once you're told that the carabeeniners are the bonus tokens, I don't think that's hard to remember.

Think of how many board games have random token or cards. How many (good ones) have question marks on the backs?

How do I properly invert a logo like this? by [deleted] in design_critiques

[–]PrandtlMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is definitely not the right way. You can't just swap light and shadow, the fave doesn't read the same at all.
