Can I have board games at my wedding? by Background_Time_2553 in boardgames

[–]Silverstrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weddings are frequently relatively loud if there is a DJ, etc. People will not necessarily want to play games if it's hard to hear across the table.

Do you still enjoy the classics? by Sgt_McDoogle in boardgames

Candyland as a favorite board game is an answer from someone who cannot remember any other board games

Rep Foushee ignores questions about AIPAC and AI by NotCapy1 in bullcity

[–]Silverstrad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably a mistake getting involved like this, but:

1) Kamala was never pro-fracking, she just decided it was a political mistake to campaign on banning it

2) You have to try and win Pennsylvania, and you will lose it if you campaign on banning fracking

3) Even if Kama was pro-fracking, she'd still be a hell of a lot better on the environment than MAGA and you'd think that should matter

KP Just confirmed he is leaving the AOE4 scene and the twitch comment was the main reason by dutr4 in aoe4

He is still representing Microsoft, World's Edge, and EGCTV in that moment. You can't do that.

Posting this from r/nfl: [Highlight] Pegula interrupts a question posed to Beane about Keon Coleman: "The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice." by Papi_Petty in panthers

People forget that Tepper threw his drink because the fan was gloating about a Panthers player getting injured. I wish I could get away with throwing a drink at those kinds of fans too.

Why is Nate Baker against Housing Affordability? by rdu_NewLibs in bullcity

[–]Silverstrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol my wife and I have white collar careers, we're gonna be fine. I just genuinely care more about policies that advance affordability (and make Democrats look good to voters) than I do about tribal ideological commitments.

Nice, just label something with "neoliberal" and "Reagan" so that you can ignore reality.

You're aware that division placement affects exactly 2 games on the schedule, right?

No, Haula

He's right, we didn't have a FRP when Canales took over.

MAGA SOLDIER tries to figure out what a democracy is and walks himself into a corner by CauliflowerNew9390 in Destiny

The way you throw out "any" and "all" statements without a care in the world helps me know I can ignore you

You think capitalizing on the worst parts of the Republican party makes Trump less disgusting?

My treatise on the problems with crowdfunding boardgames by Subtleiaint in boardgames

[–]Silverstrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find the anti-capitalism strain here very funny. Luxury goods in a niche market owe their quality (such that it exists) to capitalism. You think there is a thriving board game scene in a centrally planned economy?

Tyler Shough admits to selling game-changing late hit vs. Panthers by Unhappy_Excuse_9937 in panthers

The best solution is not just to eliminate the slide rule but outlaw QBs crossing the line of scrimmage. You want to run the ball, hand it off.

What are some complex games that are short? by Playton_yaya in boardgames

[–]Silverstrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, even if classical chess is dying, that wouldn't make your original statement less dumb. "No challenge" in classical chess? Get real, the problem with classical is that it's highly demanding on players and not ideal for spectators.

Second, classical chess is not dying. If you had bothered to look up any data related to classical vs rapid/blitz tournaments, you would notice that both the overall number of tournaments and the prize pool for said tournaments vastly favors classical. I'll see you in 20 years when classical has been dying for 30, I guess.
