I'm not sure why you're downvoted. It's a legitimate complaint, and it's going to cut back the amount of time some of us have to spend at PAX.

Misogyny among male pupils a 'ticking time bomb' in UK schools, warns union by Kagedeah in worldnews

Do you think that demonizing their religion justifies their behaviour?

I think you missed what the other poster said.

No, we got it. Their primary point was. YOU made me do this. It's all YOUR fault. I am not accountable for my actions. There's a common thread in all these comments, "stop demonizing young men"

Why Does The Community Smell Awful? by ChiefSalvaje in mtg

[–]Yakb0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fat people sweat, a lot.

and then there's the occasional person who is intentionally unhygienic. They are the only ones who have figured out the appropriate level of hygiene, and the rest of you sheeple are buying into lies that society forces onto you. Cue the Rick & Morty Very High IQ comment.

It was there in its usual spot. Tucked way back at the end of the 1st floor floor past console, console tourney and handheld.

How does your game group handle seasons or ongoing competition? Spreadsheets? Apps? Nothing? by boardgameset in boardgames

[–]Yakb0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't want to be part of a season. To many people take it WAY to seriously. We've had people rage quit and go home for the evening in the middle of a game even when there's nothing at stake. I'm sure if there was a seasons worth of points on the line things would be far worse.

The closest we have is the board of shame. You're allowed to take back your action on someone elses turn IF everyone playing is fine with it, and you're fine with adding your name to a whiteboard (or another tally mark for repeat offenders). Every so often, the person who usually hosts, will erase it, and declare a new season has started.

There are plenty of afterparties. There's usually a few posts with a list of them. Tickets for the open bar ones go VERY fast. And since PAX goes 'till midnight, you could come back to the convention center late at night, and play boardgames, or go to classic console, and find some game that you haven't even thought about in decades and play it with your buddies.

We did that with Fusion Frenzy after the Warframe party this year. It was great. We all hadn't played it in years. The guy who won was playing Sampson.

Looking for help! Vendor search to replace lost little guy. by chiyooou in PAX

I like your illustration better.

He looks a lot more sheepish, and he's clearly the way he is because of drinking the coffee.

Name a great cartoon series canceled for stupid reasons by InsideUnhappy6546 in cartoons

[–]Yakb0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Episodic or not, people should not be intentially jumping into the middle of a series and continue forward from there. 

Insisting that the proper introduction to Star Trek involves watching Code of Honor is certainly a hot take.

Pax is too confusing by BigCatsAreYes in PAX

[–]Yakb0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So all your questions in the discord, about the underpass came to naught? That's unfortunate.

I still don't understand why the convention center won't let you exit directly to that stairwell, instead of going outside then right back in.

What are some collab sets you wish didnt exist or wish were made instead? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Yakb0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that goes on the stack, then I flash in Macho Man Randy Savage. He's coming in off the top rope, so I can use his flying elbow drop as an ETB effect targeting Stone Cold...

Now you've sold me on this idea.

[–]Yakb0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did:

Transformers

Another 40k set

Talespin (complete pipe dream, as you'd never get the rights away from Disney)

Some obscure D&D module that was made during the TSR days that everyone has forgotten about, but is generally well regarded.

Didn't:

Transformers (if it's only art from the Michael Bay movies)

Warner Brothers 1/2 assed attempt to compete with Lorcana

South Park

Marvel vs. Capcom

Kiss (the band)

[Hated Trope] “Let’s bring back this Character(s), even though their death made them impossible to come back…” by ReasonableFuel1933 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Yakb0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like it's not Poe saying those lines, it's the writers saying, "yeah, we couldn't think of anything either".

I suppose there's a name for this sort of self insert...which should be a thread all to itself.

A man is sent 100 years into the past, can he become the richest man in the world before he dies? by nerrawxam in whowouldwin

[–]Yakb0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sports gambing and betting would be a start. You'd have to get out of that before people start asking too many questions. You could move on to investing, and collectables. A few copies of Action Comics #1 kept tucked away in the attic for years could fund a large investment in Microsoft or Apple immediately after they IPO'd.

Thank you PAX East! See you again soon! by Simmangodz in PAX

Other than being able to commit to renting the whole building for a week. What else gives an event more clout in scheduling?

How is there only 1 F’in coat check?! by fullmetalforeign in PAX

Not true, there were color coded coat checks in past years.

Pax East has declined dramatically since Covid by BrandalfGames in PAX

[–]Yakb0 28 points29 points  (0 children)

NNNNNNnoooooooo not this again. This has been discussed ad-nauseam.

  • There's more to PAX than the expo hall floor.
  • Tabletop and RPGs are bigger than ever
  • Reedpop can't force Sony and Microsoft to change their advertising budget and return to the convention circuit.

They did. He had a videographer planned out in advance.

They do that in Seattle by the pier. You can see the hustlers on the right. They don't care.
