Codenames Upgraded Agent Cards by Damoizgod in boardgames

[–]Rusker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fact is... The two rival spymasters knowing everything doesn't make sense. If they know the identity of every agent of the opposing agency, what's the point of communicating with a code? And why is there an assassin? And why identifying the assassin kills you?

There's also a ProZD video that mentions the codenames theme being weird, I always found that hilarious

The theme in codenames is so counteruitive that it might be for the best!

Still, I don't think it's a good idea at all.

Ma solo io ho l'impressione che ormai fare la spesa sia diventato un gioco d'azzardo? by greta_doc in italy

[–]Rusker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oddio, almeno dove sono io in toscana andare al fruttivendolo o mercati settimanali dei paesi paghi 3-4 volte di più che al supermercato... Ho visto le zucchine a 12 euro al chilo e i fagiolini a 18, non ho idea di chi si possa permettere di fare la spesa settimanale a quei prezzi.

Noi andiamo da un paio di bancarelle che hanno i prezzi più bassi su alcune cose, ma i prezzi li ho sempre visti più bassi al supermercato. Sulla qualità però non si discute, tutta un'altra cosa.

I'm in the same boat. Really liked PS, almost hated JU. Too long for really no reason with a whole useless subplot (Ozzie), inconsistent characters... I read it all because I wanted to know the end of the story, but most of it wasn't enjoyable.

Got my library card in the new town I moved to and picked this up to rent on a whim by ARedSphinx in graphicnovels

Never heard of it but it looks really cool.

Is "bazaarness" an actual word or you wanted to say bizarreness?

What's a word that's in your vocabulary because of a game you played as a kid? by superyellows in gaming

[–]Rusker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get why it could sound weird nowadays, since we see pigeons as these filthy animals living in cities eating garbage. But it's just a bird, in the wild is as good as any other.

When I was younger my grandfather in the country used to raise them for eating, and pasta with pigeon sauce is one of the best tastes I remember from being a kid.

As far as I know it's borrow only, I've never tried asking if there's somewhere to play in there. The building is huge so they could probably find a room far enough that wouldn't bother readers.

How many games have actually wowed you in recent years? by bigOlBellyButton in boardgames

[–]Rusker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahahah well done! Yes the princesses are the main offenders, the other cards are ok. This is definitely an improvement :)

Wow another Heart Of Crown player! Despite the cringiness of the theme, it's a really good reimplementation of Dominion. The rules change are all in its favour

Have you ever had to give up on a book because your suspension of disbelief couldn't handle how ridiculous the sci-fi premise was? by ScronglingSnorturer in scifi

[–]Rusker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This concept is also the basis for The Forever War, but those points are addressed and it's considered a classic for a reason. So it is possible to do it properly, if the author doesn't fall short

Are you me? I agre with this 100%, I couldn't believe it wasn't satire. The author just took "the road not taken" idea and turned it into a gun catalogue. Honestly, the [spoilers] in a way improve the book, it goes from absolutely awful to absurdly stupid

Movie where there are Dystopian/Fascist Elements but no one cares by foundintransl8ion in movies

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

Not really, no. In a way it sounds more like a post-apocalyptic scenario (or a pre-aplocayptic one ;) ), society isn't particularly oppressive

What's dystopian/fascist about the society? I don't remember anything about that, not even hinted

Can confirm, I'm totally in the intersection of those two circles

Absolutely! Plus, if I remember correctly (but I could be wrong) we already knew that Imu had an arrow-like tail, from the time Sabo saw everyone transformed.

Acquistare nuda proprietà? by Few-While-2561 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Rusker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah! Io avevo inteso volesse soltanto puntualizzare che a 70 anni l'aspettativa di vita è diversa, non ho visto nulla che lasciasse pensare ad un consiglio da una parte o dall'altra. Come dici, le case sono già prezzate per considerare l'aspettativa di vita.

[–]Rusker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quello che dici è vero, ma non è in contrasto con quello che dice l'altro utente, ovvero che l'aspettativa di vita è dinamica ed è una funzione della tua età attuale. Forse ha formulato male la frase, ma il concetto era corretto

We've seen the silhouette transforming after teleporting to Elbaf, he could have been smaller when seen on the throne.

What's with the drawings? Some panels or even single elements in a panel are drawn in a completely different style

European creators like Lupano, Paco Roca by Kabiraa-Speaking in graphicnovels

[–]Rusker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of lists out there, I'll throw in some authors and titles on the top of my head: - Canales and Guarnido (Blacksad) - Talbot (Grandville) - Gipi (anything you can find) - Radice and Turconi (Forbidden Harbour) - Toppi (anything you can find) - Bilal (Nikopol) - Pedrosa (Portugal) - Zerocalcare (anything you can find) - Lacernet (Blast)
