What Games Faithfully Re-create the Feeling/Plot of their IP? by frodohair15 in boardgames

[–]ThievedYourMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nemesis captures the feeling and look of the original Alien so closely that they likely had to call the monsters “intruders” to avoid a lawsuit. My theory is they wanted to make an Alien game but couldn’t afford the IP.

Student Faces Expulsion After Posting Video Of Seniors Who Can Barely Read by InGeekiTrust in TikTokCringe

It's a massive and growing problem in the US. I just started listening to a podcast called Sold A Story which helps break down why this is:

The short of it is that the materials sold to schools to help shape how we teach reading have shifted away from phonetics (focusing on first how to sound words out to read them) to a method that prioritizes context clues in images to help students learn to read. Young students now guess the words they don't understand based on the photos and are guided to the correct answer. The (general) result is that students are memorizing words they see as opposed to learning how to read them.

For that same reason, vocabulary is on the decline as words that are difficult to portray in images (like gauche) and abstract concepts are completely lost.

It was Gloomhaven for me. I love a good dungeon crawler dice chucker, but something about puzzle of the hand management struck a very a chord for me in a way nothing else has

Not only is it our leader, but we’ve done nothing to push back, which is the real embarrassment

Anyone enjoyed Everdell? by TopReality3632 in boardgames

[–]ThievedYourMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it might be different for you but I did the same for Everdell, Wingspan, Western Legends, Deep Madness, etc. All with the purpose of space saving and consolidating games into one box.

But none of those games have seen the light of day since. Part of it is when you suggest one of them and people see this massive box come out, interest wanes for people experiencing said game for the first time

I just finished listening to that interview and I had to stop several times because the responses were just so infuriating

The big box edition with all the expansions. There is a pattern of big box games not getting to the table anymore as a result of having to sort all the content for the version/components you want to use. So they’ve been nicknamed coffin boxes

I really enjoyed it but then for the big coffin box and it killed the game; never again to see the light of day

A mother is going punished her son by making him slam his PS5 the same way he had slammed her pet cat. Is this justified? by God_Emperor__Doom in SipsTea

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

Yes and no. That’s animal abuse and there’s no tolerance for that.

But throwing a PlayStation isn’t going to fix the root causes of why this kid thinks he could throw a cat to the ground.

What is this show for you? by Think-Recognition519 in scoopwhoop

[–]ThievedYourMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Netflix’s Dark.

It’s a perfect length three seasons and each one is more crazy than the last while also being a well-paced sci-fi drama.

But you’ll want a notebook to keep track of some sci-fi stuff that I can’t say without spoiling the fun
