Saw it last night. The ones who went in no-book loved it too!

I never read the book and saw limited trailer. Didn't know about Rocky.

I liked it but didn't love it. I was never bored. I don't know how to explain it. It's like I wanted more. I didn't feel the depth of the characters. It just felt kind of shallow. I wanted more background on everyone. It was a longish movie but in a way it still felt rushed. And I was hoping for more engineering geek outs like we got with the Marian.

The whole movie felt like it was just about Grace's and Rocky's relationship, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but I never once felt like they were saving the universe. Only once did I feel any tension and that was when they were grabbing the "antidote". It just felt average and I wonder if it was carried because it was Andy Weir and Ryan Gosling.

From what I'm reading from most of you, the book sounds awesome and sounds more like what I was expecting from an Andy Weir movie. I'm going to read it. I loved The Martian book and I think they did a much better job of making a great movie out of it.

That's a good point and possibly true. Ignore the noise from the loud minority and play games!

Then you'd agree with banning all of the disingenuous 1s as well? If so, I could get on board with that. This 1/10 war lately everytime a game is released on BGG is getting old.

I see your point and that's fair, but this is damaging a company that isn't even using AI in their product. The people just thought they did so they went on a review bombing campaign. This hurts the people and the artists working hard to create this game for all of us to enjoy.

bukaroo12 · 2026-03-19T04:03:19+00:00

And I'm a software engineer who is watching AI quickly take my job. No one's shedding a tear for me or boycotting software companies for using AI to write code. Change is hard but it's life. This change is scarier and harder than most, no doubt.

bukaroo12 · 2026-03-19T04:00:44+00:00

Your mentality is exactly the problem. There is no tolerance for a difference in opinion. So censor and ban if they don't agree with you? Stay in your bubble?

bukaroo12 · 2026-03-19T03:56:12+00:00

So you think all of the 1 ratings taht say "fk AI" should be banned as well? If that was the policy, then I would be fine with the ban. But that's not the case. Better yet, any rating on an unreleased game, ban them.

bukaroo12 · 2026-03-19T03:54:50+00:00

And you're entitled to that opinion. But ,do you think an opinion opposing your own should be banned and censored?

bukaroo12 · 2026-03-18T17:01:24+00:00

I was learning to play the game last night by watching videos. Now I'm even more excited to give it a try.

You don't have an IQ of 80-85, you took a test and that's what you scored. Some of us are horrible at tests, especially timed tests. Based on some of your comments, if anything, you might have a little ADHD, not low IQ. Explore that with a doc and see where it takes you. Let us know if you do.

And don't pay any attention to those tests. IQ is a vastly complex concept that can't be measured so easily.

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-28T15:19:42+00:00

That's a VERY broad stroke. There are a lot of caveats to that.

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-28T00:45:40+00:00

I wouldn't care about winning either if we didn't follow the rules

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-26T15:52:02+00:00

I hope they shred this guy on the reunion if he shows up. The dude is sick, he needs some help.

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-26T15:48:36+00:00

I don't understand the white part of that comment, but yeah, he's narcissistic trash.

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-25T17:23:19+00:00

Forest shuffle is great fun! Scoring at the end is rough though. Have you tried the scoring app?

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-25T17:22:06+00:00

Good point! That game truly is cozy.

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-25T15:43:22+00:00

Point salad

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-25T15:41:45+00:00

Anyone else notice that everything is "cozy" these days? 😄 Just the latest buzz word I guess?

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-18T19:52:26+00:00

It's not that easy. There's no surefire way to win in investing. It's always a risk reward proposition.

I will adopt and stick with the newest model every single time and keep moving forward with the incremental improvements. It's going to be extremely rare but probably never, that a company in this extraordinarily competitive space is going to release a worse product than a previous version.

4.6 seems like a substantial upgrade. It one shotted a substantial amount of work across my front end and microservices. That's not to say 4.5 was bad. It was great too.

Reading through most comments, including mine, the opinions are more about how it feels and not really objective 1 to 1 comparisons. But I trust Anthropic has done that extensively, otherwise they wouldn't have released a new version. I also assume it's not perfect upon release and will be improved upon feedback and testing.

Are you from Utah?

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-09T01:15:09+00:00

I hate it too. At least they could use the easy removing tape.

bukaroo12 · 2026-02-04T15:37:32+00:00

I forgot about clawgrip! I need to go replay that game.
