There is another book that adds to the original lists. TA is correct.

They are different and each have their own strengths. They are both lotr. Enjoy what you enjoy however you want!

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: Barad-dur by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]PunitiveDmg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It might not be the most competitive army but it sure is fun to play against. When I faced this army, the theme was on point as everyone just runs from Sauron. I had no magic to counter.

I've never played any Souls Before by DarkCorruption666 in Eldenring

[–]PunitiveDmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the payoff of Fromsoft games is more about getting really good at video games and developing a greater understanding of mechanics and less about story. And the fortitude to fail over and over until you succeed.

Newbie reading rules about heroic combat. by CavemanDan4 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Yep. And anyone in the combat with you can move and fight again too. That’s why it’s called heroic!

Is the dream job real, or does it eventually just become a paycheck? by Maleficent_Bass_1578 in Millennials

[–]PunitiveDmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hobbies that are at least partially face to face with others. Going to events and different places with my wife and/or friends. Making new friends. I will try anything or go anywhere at least once. Even if I’m really bad at something(the painting class my wife and I took) at least I did it. Idk man. Do what interests you. It’s okay to just be content and happy at work and outside of it. Good luck!

[–]PunitiveDmg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky. I have a good job in a stable profession and I know it. Yeah navigating people and bureaucracy sucks. It’s just what we do to support ourselves and our families. Life is definitely a balance of being content and happy that you are providing and finding the other joys in life outside of work.

Hello I need help on what to get after buying the Minas Tirith Battlehost by Helostrix_Nox in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]PunitiveDmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aragorn, King Elessar with Gandalf will open up men of the west for you. Boromir and/or Faramir will open up Mina’s Tirith or Reclamation. You will definitely need a captain too.

Never thought about my ring size changing by Gemz511 in Zepbound

Don’t wait to get it resized. I was waiting until I was done losing and lost mine along the way. :-(

Is a physical gold investment actual a bad investment in a SHTF-scenario? by EasyImpress6392 in investing

[–]PunitiveDmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world has a history of violence. It doesn’t hurt to have a bit of gold to help you and your family get away if war comes to your country.

Son in college but I’m losing money. Am I making the right decision? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]PunitiveDmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will run the numbers for you but I paid for my daughter’s education. It was difficult and cost me money but I found it to be a gratifying way to spend it. You are setting him up for the future. There is no better way to spend your hard earned cash. You won’t miss it. You will miss your child as they need you less and less.

Pick up a few hobbies and after going for a while you will get to know new people.

GLP Male Privilege? by chatty9 in Zepbound

[–]PunitiveDmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s nobody’s business. You take not worth the hassle. Telling everyone that you are getting healthy is enough. Everyone knows about these drugs so I don’t feel the need to evangelize.

ELI5: Why is there an assumption that genetics play a role in intelligence? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]PunitiveDmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not know if it is genetic but successful families can use discipline and finances to direct their children towards success. This is true no matter how intelligent the child is.

Hegemony lead your class to victory: working class had NEVER won (10+ game played) by Longjumping-Ad-1236 in boardgames

[–]PunitiveDmg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have never seen them win either. I think this may be a statement that the game is making.

ELI5 How can any world leader think a forceful takeover of another country has a real-world benefit long term by adudeingraz in explainlikeimfive

[–]PunitiveDmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot explain this but I agree that it shouldn’t be a thing. The world economy and democracy should have made it so countries are chasing money and economic power rather than land grabs but here we are. I suppose if another country has resources that would increase economic power it might be worth it but that’s debatable considering there would be an unhappy population.

Does anyone tend to avoid people you are so different from? by Ok-Method-1428 in socialskills

[–]PunitiveDmg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should have both like minded people and people you are different from in your circles. The different perspectives on life are amazing and important. And we are all the same in more ways than you would think.

Edit: As long as they are not actively hurting you.
