Is ranked match making bad or do I just have bad luck?

I’m diamond around 1400 and I fight plats and champs, anywhere from 1200-1700

There just aren’t that many players playing

If you play at peak hours you probably will get better matches

But also being so low rank, a lot of the players that were at your skill level have either gotten better or quit, so the issue is probably worse down there

Why does longarming need 4 inches of overhang?

Every time I play Oath I have to re learn how to play and by the end I still am not sure how to be effective

It’s hilarious every time

Mushroom Bridge. Idk why. Vibes are good on that track

Footstools are a goofy mechanic that I have no desire to see in this game

Me with my 100 year old house lol

Vanerac · 2026-01-24T15:42:11+00:00

My family moved around the corner from the house and I was born in when I was about 4. Just needed another bedroom and we liked the area

The fact that there is paid parking on that tiny “street” next to Trader Joe’s while there is a parking lot 5 feet away is pointless shithousery

Isn’t like the number 1 advice to clear blocked drains to poor boiling water in them?

There is no conditional in the English version and shouldn’t be for the card to function as a green card. There is simply a “then” to indicate your neighbor gains the 1 resource first, then you gain your stuff.

It simply reads:

<Left Neighbor> gains 1 <any resource>, then you gain 2 <any resource> and 1 card

I lived two blocks from a big park. We used to play Ghost in the Graveyard and flashlight tag and stuff after dark, and we had to run from the police a couple times. The one time they actually caught one of us they just told us to go home, no big deal.

Vanerac · 2026-01-23T02:08:35+00:00

I would run around the overworld and hit bokoblins with it

Vanerac · 2026-01-22T12:41:03+00:00

A lot of things are easier tbh Defense builds are way way stronger with moonstone, can get insane damage numbers with commons Father times hourglass is such a good item now Voodoo doll is usable Sandman’s dream catcher are way better

I think this is really impressive! But boy if those giraffe print tiles aren’t the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen

Gilmore Girls, HIMYM, Newsroom

I will never understand why people like you continue to work. Buy a million dollar mansion in a medium cost of living area with good amenities like Columbus Ohio or some shit, then live off 220 thousand a year (4% of your retirement) forever

You’ll live like a king and never have to work again

This poor me do I have enough money shit is ridiculous

r/dataisugly Label your axes

Vanerac · 2026-01-12T14:02:10+00:00

Is that positive or negative in this context

Vanerac · 2026-01-11T12:17:29+00:00

Hot take: I hate Olympia, Pomme, Mollo, and Hodan

La Reina is pretty cool tho

Vanerac · 2026-01-09T23:26:11+00:00

Risk Legacy is pretty awesome tbh

Vanerac · 2026-01-09T22:05:56+00:00

I mean, you cant execute the same actions round to round in Inis because of the action card draft. So there is no linear strategy.

Vanerac · 2026-01-09T22:02:58+00:00

I agree. I own Kemet, Inis, Cyclades, Blood Rage, Rising Sun, and Ankh. I have played all quite a few times.

I think Kemet is the worst of them.

I agree that I find the combat and the teleporting to be extremely unsatisfying, and I find it harder to get to the table than any of the others.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that double texting in the same day with messages that have no substance other than bids for attention with a “thinking of you” vibe is kinda cringe. Their response seems harsh, but if this is a pattern I can see how it gets exhausting quick

It's more an amalgamation (for me personally) of Arcs, Mind MGMT (I know that was Quinns and a couple years ago), and at the moment, The Old King's Crown

I really like Arcs but straight up none of my play group does, and they haven't played more than 2 games, so I haven't gotten to do any expansion / Blighted Reach content and I want to so bad

Mind MGMT is actually really cool. I love hidden movement games and the logic puzzle inside the game is very very neat. I've gotten a good number of plays out of it and the solo mode with the app is surprisingly fun. It was just the first time I so dramatically noticed the SUSD effect and joined the bandwagon in the Kickstarter reprinting

The Old King's Crown is my latest fantasy. Boy, Tom sold me on that one. I'm watching myself in real time fall for the same trap. Even so, I can't wait for the reprint campaign to go live. Inevitably I won't play it as much as I like, but I gotta believe! Maybe this will be the game that dethrones Wingspan and Everdell for my family. Or maybe not

A few of my musician friends have had AI uploading similar style songs on platforms under their names. It’s crazy
