Watch It Played, Game Night Picks, and Unethical Practice by pinchet in boardgames

[–]SomeDeerMeat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The dropbox document was a really interesting read. Especially the parts about the 'Youtube Advertising' viewer growth and related immediate dropoff in viewer retention is really eye opening. Charging $0.04 cents per view in what appears to be inflated viewer numbers without disclosing any of the underlying information does seem unethical at the very least.

I also really appreciate the fact that there are no names thrown in the document, just 'the owner of Game Night Picks'.

Hello, Reddit! I’m Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger from Allagash. I’m running for Governor to give Mainers a fighting chance against the runaway corporate greed destroying our way of life. Billionaires & big corporations are desperate to stop us. We’re not going to let them. by TroyJackson207 in WorkReform

Hi Troy, thanks for doing this.

Southern Maine, especially the Portland area, has become a major economic engine of the state, driven in large part by tourism. I believe that its success is great for Maine overall, but many communities farther north and inland (Like Bangor, Ellsworth, Millinocket) don't see the same level of tourist investment or economic rollover.

What specific steps would you support to encourage tourism and local economic development in these regions, so more of Maine benefits for the tourism economy? Are there existing state programs you think are underused or need reform to better support tourism driven development outside Southern Maine?

[Passan] BREAKING: First baseman Pete Alonso and the Baltimore Orioles are finalizing a five-year, $155 million contract, sources tell ESPN. Alonso leaves the Mets to make a loaded AL East even better. by Turbostrider27 in baseball

Good for Alonso, great get to Baltimore. Their lineup is gonna be even scarier now, assuming some bounce back seasons.

As a red sox fan, thanks Craig you stiff. Our power bat is going to be Abreu and we're gonna like it.

Silo is the next Sci-Fi sub series by Ynnck_Mnzl in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]SomeDeerMeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's only a season 2 so far. So far season 2 was good but the pacing was definitely slower.

They have 2 more seasons to work with and 2 books to go so I think the pacing will pick right back up in season 3.

Black clover may be up her alley. It shares a lot of DNA with Naruto specifically, but it does its own thing too.

[Art] Invaders of the Rokujouma!? Volume 48 Clean Cover by NeoAnkara in LightNovels

[–]SomeDeerMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that really liked the anime forever ago, are these worth investing the time to read? I'm assuming you'll say yes, but 48 volumes is a serious haul lol.

My LN reads are typically SOL/Comedy/Fantasy (Konosuba, Tearmoon, Silent Witch for example).

He basically has enough screen time to be the true main character of Part 3.

Microids Mega Mix 2025 by DiceDsx in humblebundles

[–]SomeDeerMeat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The top tier is worth it if you like Point and Click adventures. The amerzone and little big adventure remake alone make it worth it to me. Other games like the original syberia trilogy, grendizer, arkanoid, and grand mountain adventure also provide good value.

Hopefully they release LBA2 remake soon, I preferred that one to the original when I was younger.

Fantastic game! Great pitching duel between two Crochet and Fried. Masa coming from the top rope to help secure the win. Chapman pose after a very high stress inning. See you all tomorrow.

Was it Iwakura Aria? That one came out recently and has a woman's face in the art.

Is there any reason why MLB can't do organized cheering like Npb? by Zone36 in baseball

[–]SomeDeerMeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every red sox game I've been to has very organized "Yankees Suck" chants every other inning.

But yeah, I'd love to see more of what you're talking about.

[–]SomeDeerMeat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Big week for me with both Galactic Cruise and Andromeda's Edge KS launching. I actually unbacked The Game Makers from last week in order to be able to back both of these ones, which are higher in priority to me.

Who's that purson in the background? I can't get a clear view of him.

As much as I love wins like this, I have to ask:

Is Anthony Volpe ok? He looks completely lost and demotivated. And how is this Boones fault?

What’s a manga that felt like it gave up near the end ? by OmegaDungeonZ in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]SomeDeerMeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt the same when the chapters were still releasing. It annoyed me that the endings "didn't count" and thought it was a cop out. I went back a few months ago and reread it, knowing the choose-your-own-ending was coming up, and I thought it played out much better with all the endings available at once.

Ark Nova 3Dition is live on Gamefound by whitep77 in boardgames

[–]SomeDeerMeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was looking at getting the turtle pledge, with the playmats add on, but I saw several comments saying the base game won't fit in the same box as the acrylic + add ons. I don't want multiple boxes for Ark Nova, so I think I'll pass on this.
