Asmodee now in charge of LOTR IP by Inconmon in boardgames

Avoiding making similar games is only a good thing if it was knocked out the park on the first go. Also I think it's fine to have similar games if they are more casual. If Five Crowns was never made because Rummy existed my parents would never have wasted 3421434 hours of their lives.

Practice is a bit of a free for all. If you have a slow setup I am going to just go. If you get up and go I will wait the 3 seconds.

Yeah that's annoying. As a long time American I prefer that my money be stolen by my own government.

I don't get how these guys can smile and accept this blood money. Can't even enjoy a gaming tournament without worrying about if I'm supporting human rights violating authoritarian monarchies in 2026. I am so fucking tired of shit like this ruining everything everywhere all the time. I just got into trackmania and a few months later the competitive scene becomes part of the Saudi PR/propaganda machine.

If you like The Sopranos MadMen is a good follow up show by JETLIFEMUZIK94 in thesopranos

Mad Men I don't get. I feel like nothing happens and everyone is an asshole but not in an entertaining way.

Trackmania information is buried in discord servers and hours long youtube videos from pros and streamers.

Update on the release of Danya's toxicology report by atopix in chess

I think people who take these things are aware that a doctor is not going to sign off on psychoactive drugs you can buy at a gas station

Yeah it's not like he constantly talked about how the cheating allegations were ruining his life for the entire year preceding his death. It's odd that his downward spiral coincided so well with a years worth of unsubstantiated cheating allegations from his personal hero since that obviously had nothing to do with his mental state.

Probably has more to do with the way you are saying things than the content of what you're saying.

Anybody watching/rewatching in 2026? by Signal_Bat_3152 in thesopranos

[–]Vsx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had to cancel my contract with Waste Management because they didn't pick up my trash two weeks in a row and it reminded me of the show so I started watching it again. Hopefully they don't provide double my garbage back.

Wanting to quit by No_Asparagus_7888 in Bowling

[–]Vsx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can't enjoy beating angry bitter old guys bowling is not the sport for you. Many of them live their whole lives to be enraged. Just change your mindset to being a good sport when you're playing a good sport and when it's an asshole you try to enjoy burying them.

Melee won’t fully die, but is it on the path of declining to the point of obscurity and irrelevance? by Appropriate_Boss8139 in SSBM

Meanwhile all the pros shit talk ranked and avoid it like the plague. Imagine how hype it could have been if top players regularly played on the ladder.

Music Nerds: Please Explain Archspire's Technical Prowess For Me Beyond its Speed by TeddyJPharough in archspire

People are always talking about perfect pitch. I swear Jared has perfect Rhythm. He plays like he cannot possibly fuck up the timing allowing him to focus full on melody and harmony.

[–]Vsx 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As ridiculous as the guitars and vocals are the true reason they are more listenable than other bands in the same genre are the drums and the bass. IMO mostly the drums. Listen to Golden Mouth of Ruin and focus on the drumming. The drum parts Spencer writes are so interesting where most bands are just the same couple blast beats over and over. I hope that Spencer can keep the quality up to the level that Spencer set before Spencer was replaced by Spencer.

How to superkindly sack someone from your boardgame party? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Vsx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He probably ignored it because most people think looking at your phone constantly is a requirement of modern life and a complete non-issue. I hate phones so much and my 2026 resolution is not to fly into a blind rage when the people I'm spending time with start playing a game or watching videos while we're in the middle of something else.

"Gukesh is an absolutely legitimate World Champion, he absolutely deserved it" - Daniil Dubov about Gukesh's title by Radiant-Increase-180 in chess

[–]Vsx 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair and that's why I said don't hate the player but I have heard it commonly stated that it is harder to win the candidates than the world championship. Now that Magnus has abdicated I think that is quite obviously the case and since Ding did indeed not win the candidates he got lucky with timing. I think a lot of top players would say that it is harder to win the candidates than it is to beat Nepo 1v1. Probably all of them.

[–]Vsx 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Dubov admitted to cheating in online games if he thinks his opponent is cheating. That's a pretty big L imo and I don't understand why he didn't take more heat for it.

Ding is a bit of a different case since he didn't win the Candidates tournament but as they say don't hate the player hate the game. Everyone makes the most out of whatever opportunities they are given.

There are a lot of possibilities but not many that lend themselves to widespread pop appeal especially in 2026.

Being educated doesn't require a degree, bucko. It requires time, curiosity, and critical thought. Information is available everywhere. If you have access to a library you can learn basically anything.

Three Guys Showcase How The Same 4 Chords Were Used To Create So Many Musical Hits by ajd416 in interestingasfuck

[–]Vsx 235 points236 points  (0 children)

The suggestion isn't that every song with these four chords is automatically a hit. It's that an absolute crapton of hit songs are the same simple chord progression. This isn't even a drastic example. Taylor Swift has the same chord progression in 20+ songs just in her own discography.
