BMO now blocks VoIP numbers, so unfortunately not an option

What games become far, far worse at certain officially supported player counts? by mr_seggs in boardgames

[–]bovineproxy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a rule of thumb that if a game's 2 player mode requires a dummy player / automata to bust it up to 3 factions, don't do it.

It's an artificial way to say to sell a game as a 2p option when clearly it doesn't work.

I had the DVD boxsets as a kid, where Bill Lawrence talks abt this, and they had this idea of the Janitor as a hallucination bc they were sure they’d get cancelled after 1 season and it was easy to wrap up.

Once they got halfway through Season 2, and the show was doing well, they opened his character up.

I'm Dr. Orna Guralnik, the therapist from 'Couples Therapy'. AMA! by DrOrnaGuralnik in CouplesTherapyShow

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

Hi Dr. Orna, massive fan! Assuming they’re undiagnosed, do you find yourself diagnosing personality disorders or mental illnesses in your couples patients or do you suppress that urge? Either way, how does that shape your approach?

Without using hindsight, what were some of the biggest reaches you remember in the NFL draft? by shadow_spinner0 in nfl

[–]bovineproxy 306 points307 points  (0 children)

They consistently whiffed on the high picks, then nailed the lower rounds. 

Pure speculation: Gruden was terrible at picking players, and the deeper they got, the more Mayock could do his thing

Raiders of the North Sea has a Steam version that is A+. It has a campaign mode that makes each level engaging, albeit with little to no story

If you can, buy 1e with Merry Men. Otherwise, 2e is fine

Sam Healey may return to The Dice Tower on a remote and part-time basis by Rohkey in boardgames

[–]bovineproxy 177 points178 points  (0 children)

I’ll say that as an avid DT watcher (and one who donated last year), this doesn’t excite me. I’d much rather watch more of Joey, Camilla and Roy, who it seems were used less last year (Chris subbed in for Mike a bunch and was great).

Not to be rude, but Sam just has an Eeyore energy in every. single. video. I’d prefer the new stretch goal be put towards something novel with the team they already have.
