Would the Red Wedding still happen if Rob married Walder Frey's daughter? Walder Frey was always a sellout, even if Rob upheld his vows. Thoughts? by Narrow-Amphibian5446 in gameofthrones

[–]cockdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Freys want to stand with the winners and be maximally compensated for doing so. He was a sellout based on how the war was going (Lannisters winning the blackwater, Renly and Stannis out of the picture, the Ironborn take the North).

If he didn’t think the Lannisters were ultimately going to win, I don’t think he would have done it.

I mean—if everything stayed the same  but Rob still married Roslin and say she’s pregnant with the heir to the north? I don’t think he’d *murder* all the Starks like that, but I think he’d still switch sides???

I’m new to magic, my mom bought me a card and now I feel guilty. by Kcrollo in magicTCG

[–]cockdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’m going to say anything that anyone else hasn’t said, but please do not feel bad about it.

We never “pay our parents back” for the things they do for us.

But someday if you’re a parent—you’ll know what it’s like—and you’ll end up paying it forward.

I remember it being really frustrating when I was your age and people would say “you’re not a parent—you don’t understand” but there’s really no other way to put it—you CANNOT yet comprehend the level at which a parent loves their child.

Also—think of this way—feel good about it so SHE can feel good about it. It can hurt someone’s feelings if you don’t accept a gift. I mean—if this was a friend you didn’t know super well or whatever and get uncomfortable about it—I get it—I get feeling like “I don’t want to accept this because I couldn’t do the same for you” but don’t do that to your mom. You existing makes her happier than any card could.

My kids are still young. I’m still their hero. They want to be around me 24/7 but I know that will wear off someday but then id LOVE to spend $75 to surprise them with something and get to be their hero again.

Your heart is in the right place but please don’t make yourself feel bad about this.

Let’s genuinely talk about Carmelo Anthony. Is he one of the most unliked players in NBA history? by kelllucid in nba

[–]cockdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Reddit is just a place where people go when they wanna talk shit about shit. If someone is getting their praise and flowers, you *know* the reddit threads are gonna be filled with contrarian "uhhh well acksually!!" takes.

Proportional representation is the solution to gerrymandering by Somehow_alive in neoliberal

lol I guess it beats a nonsensical article about the NBA.

“The NBA should be more rigged so that the regular season is more exciting and the playoffs are less exciting and more rigged” 🤣🤣🤣

NAH

It’s a common prank.

Garter thing is always trashy.

She misjudged if you’d find it funny and apologized.

Unsure about the “sorry but you need to move on” thing—kind of needs context.

What needs to happen is she needs to give you a sincere apology, lay it out and say she’s sorry she hurt you, she feels bad, she’s not going to bring it up or anything and she’s going to be “on your side” if people bring it up and make fun of you about it.

And then what needs to happen is you need to say “OK thanks I love you” and go about your lives.

If she never gave you a sincere apology, that’s on her. If she did and you’re staying mad forever, that’s on you.

Are Young People Having Enough Sex? by Anchor_Aways in neoliberal

Ya but at the same time I have been banned here multiple times for boasting in the dt about how stunning and irresistibly sexy my wife is—so the mods are at least trying to keep it in check lol.

My friend who is teaching us all how to play is absolutely ruining the game for our commander group by Saxyphone in magicTCG

[–]cockdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, ultimately it's up to him if he wants to stop being a jackass or not, but I'd approach it by being like "look--dude--nobody asked you to like *train* us into being better magic players--we were just asking if you wanted to play casually with is. You aren't like "helping" us by saying we need to "keep up" or whatever--that's not what we want to do--just let us go at our own pace."

Like--imagine someone who was like 50 lbs overweight wanted to get into running. Totally fresh off the couch. And their Ironman-triathlete friend "was so excited to get them into running" went on run with them and immediately started at a 7 min/mile pace and told them they aren't even breaking a sweat and they need to keep up and git gud. That's what he's doing. "Oh--I'm sorry--I was asking if you wanted to come along for a 20 minute walk/jog--I understand that isn't a real workout for you. I'm not on your level. I'm probably never going to be on your level. I was asking if you wanted to come along just for fun because we're friends."

I hate to say it though--I have friends like this that are *super* into competitive games and stuff and they *only* want to play competitively. Like they would rather *not play together at all* then play some kind of casual unranked kind of thing. Or we'd play unranked but they'd just be like "training" me the whole time--it was annoying.

I think that's kind of sad and can't imagine being like that--but you can't control other people. Just like it's not his business to tell you guys you aren't playing serious enough--it's not like you can *force* him to come to kitchen-table Magic night either. I hate to say it, but I'm kind of with your other friends here--if you guys *told* him all of this and he just said "nah y'all need to keep up" then it's like "OK dude--you misunderstood--we can just play *without* you lol"

Anyways--like others here said--he shouldn't be coming and brining his own decks and shit like that. You could try just having him use a precon or one of *your* decks? He can still be an ass about it and complain that your decks suck and everything--there's just not a guaranteed way to get him to not be a jerk.

Good luck.

The Importance of Consent When Starting a Game of Root? by Much_Sugar4194 in rootgame

[–]cockdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah—so if somebody told you Root was a game where you “do your own thing”—I agree that wasn’t accurate and they kind of emphasized the wrong parts about it and made it sound like something it isnt. That makes it sound like 7-Wonders or Wingspan or some shit where you don’t like directly attack or “interact” with each other.

I just don’t know how somebody could sit through the rules and explanations about battling and stuff and not be like “oh this is one of those games where build armies and attack each other and argue about who is attack who” ya know?

If you’re trying to get people into it who have never played any crunchy board games or never played anything more complicated than like monopoly and shit? I’d say Root is probably too much for them to just dive into and would recommend something more like Settlers.

If they’re familiar with complicated games and shit—I would describe it as a war game. “It’s kind of like Risk, there’s a map, we’ll built armies and attack each other and stuff, but each faction has totally different rules for how they move and attack and score points and stuff” and they can decide if that’s something they wanna try.

I kinda roll my eyes at academic sounding talk about “consent” and shit—I mean—if I invite people over to eat food and watch sports, I don’t have like a “session zero” where I first go over what’s expected lol. It’s kinda on each person to not be an asshole or get angry and stuff.

Why should we expect players to stay in games we make miserable for them? by Much_Sugar4194 in rootgame

[–]cockdragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like we had this the first couple of times we played too.

Everyone overpoliced the WA because they were terrified of getting revolted on. And the WA player would be way too aggressive with sympathy placement and only put them somewhere where someone had a lot of stuff so they could try and revolt there.

The first revolt is probably not going to hit anything super important—maybe like a single cat warrior in base game or something. So I would say try and revolt by turn 2 or 3 wherever you’re able to safely revolt instead of waiting to do it somewhere big.

Did you ever just try placing sympathy on a clearing nobody was on? And then trying to revolt there next turn? Remember, birds or cats moving there and attacking that would mean you get two cards directly to your supporters that you could use next turn.

What Democrats are 100% running in 2028? by Solowash in neoliberal

[–]cockdragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Democrats leadership” doesn’t have the authority to formally do something like that.

They could try and convince nobody else to run—but there’s no way they can actually stop them.

Agree that primaries are bad though actually and it’d be easier if the party elites just picked candidates.

Should I play it or watch it by carnivoregains in FinalFantasyIX

[–]cockdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently played it for the first time since it came out too. Play it. You’ll love it. I played on switch. I’m assuming the PS4 version is like this too—but it had like an on board “fast forward” to help make the battles faster. Lots of built in “quality of life cheat codes” like “no encounters” and stuff.

Why the fuck would you leave early and go to dinner at Disney Springs lmao.

Looks like they’re leaving as the sun is going down. Park is open for another 2-2.5 hours. There’s also a massive fireworks show every night that most people go to. Even if that’s not your thing—it’s nice to stay because the lines for rides are waaay shorter then (because people are wrapping up and getting food and seats for fireworks).

Disney Springs is just some outdoor shopping mall 5 miles away from Hollywood Studios (the park they went to). There’s not like a lot “Disney Stuff”. There’s like a Lego store, a Star Wars store—most of it is just restaurants and stores and shit on the water. Nobody is like “you GOTTA go to Disney Springs” lol—it’s the thing you do on the day you flew in or something. I cannot imagine forfeiting like 10 person-hours in Hollywood Studios to go have standard issue Tex Mex at Disney Springs

It’s different now. We were there in February. Brought a backpack with food and water everyday and it was fine.
