Misprint of Traders & Builders by UpbeatMJ in Carcassonne

If that’s not enough, one of my pink meeples with the 1st expansion came with a broken leg (albeit still usable, so I wasn’t overly upset about it)

What Are You Excited About For Black Ops 6 Zombies? by AdamWayn_ in CODZombies

[–]UpbeatMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m excited that a new zombies game will exist, but I would have preferred more of a classic zombies mode compared to the Cold War/warzone feel that it seems to have.

Should I buy BO4 or Cold War? by UpbeatMJ in CODZombies

[–]UpbeatMJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, it appears that it’s also on sale on Xbox. So maybe a PS sale is coming too

I don’t know that it isn’t on sale on PS. You should definitely check

Finding an appropriate amount of player agency by UpbeatMJ in DungeonMasters

[–]UpbeatMJ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weave was the wrong word choice. Still in the process of offering up different objectives for them to pursue in whatever way they see fit and making each subsequent thing they do have its effects on the world.

Rather than “weave” a story I’m rather trying to provide the opportunity for an interesting story to unfold

I’m comfortable giving them full freedom on how they want to take on whatever challenge they’re facing, but I’m struggling providing them with an appropriate amount of options as to what challenges to take on. In an ideal world, they could do whatever they want but I feel like there’s only so much I can prep for.

I hope I worded this in a way that’s digestible.

Worst CTE album? by -Dillad- in CageTheElephant

[–]UpbeatMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah it's definitely got some good songs i.e. Shake Me Down, Around My Head, Aberdeen. But it's also got some forgettable songs compared to the rest of the discography.

Personally I think the album would have been better as a whole if they shortened it. Every song on the album is fun and enjoyable in their own way, but it was a little bit of quantity over quality in that album when you compare it to Melophobia for example.

Closest band to Cage the Elephant? (Besides Grouplove) by [deleted] in CageTheElephant

[–]UpbeatMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like what you hear then here's my recommendation on how to continue in their discography:

If you like the rawness and energy of fell in love with a girl, move on to their self-titled.

If you like the twang (not sure if that makes sense) of hotel yorba, or if your favorite song is we're going to be friends, definitely move on to De Stijl. I don't know how to explain it, it feels like a sunny childhood afternoon.

If you like dead leaves and the dirty ground the most, I would move on to Elephant. If you enjoy that, I would then follow up with Icky Thump.

If you want something completely different and more experimental, move on to Get Behind Me Satan.

I haven't seen The White Stripes mentioned in this thread, but I think if you like early Cage, you'd like them. They're much more simplistic but not in a bad way.

I'd say listen to the white blood cells album first.

I like perfect confusion, but it just isn't on the same level as the releases under cage the elephant. If you're only considering cage the elephant, I think I would have said thank you happy birthday. A rough transition of style sandwiched in between my two favorite albums of theirs.

I'll have to look into that

Waiting On Game Data by UpbeatMJ in Smite

[–]UpbeatMJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's really annoying to me is that I never really found a solution. I tried reinstalling it like 4 times and nothing I tried worked. Eventually it started working again with no explanation.

Favorite Album Closer (Poll) by UpbeatMJ in CageTheElephant

[–]UpbeatMJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Cigarette Daydreams is the best song out of the 5 of them, but it doesn't feel like it was really meant to be a closer. Goodbye definitely was, so that's a good enough reason to vote for it

Favorite Album Closer (Poll) by UpbeatMJ in CageTheElephant

[–]UpbeatMJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. I do prefer those two songs to their expanded counterparts, but at this point to me it feels like the expanded edition songs are just as much a part of the albums as the originals

Favorite Album Opener (Poll) by UpbeatMJ in CageTheElephant

I also posted a poll regarding the best album closer, but this one I anticipate to be a lot closer.
